Harvey York had mixed emotions after seeing Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright enter the same car.He had been cautious when he came to the outskirts, but he did not expect to be so angered by Mandy like this.“Forget it.Judith Pedler came to Harvey’s side.“She’s at least five years older than us. You don’t have a chance.”Harvey went speechless after hearing Judith’s words.‘I can’t just tell you she’s my ex-wife now, can I…?’The celebration was over an hour later.Many guests had left one after another. Only Harlan, his family, and Billie Higgs’ two good friends remained.Because of Mandy, Harvey was not in the mood to make Aliza Howell kneel as an apology. He was planning to sort things out after getting home.“Where are you going, Harvey?“I have prepared a room for you here. You should stay here for the time being.”Naturally, Harlan Higgs was prepared for this.“No need, Uncle Harlan.Harvey shook his head while skimping past the subject. He seemed to be deep in thou
Harvey York bitterly chuckled. He did not intend to waste more time with the others.But at this point, he simply had no choice but to take them to his home.It would also be good to show Harlan Higgs a little more about him.If not, Harlan might not be able to accept the facts if everything were to be revealed.After all, he had treated Harvey quite well.Because of that, he simply obliged.The group walked up the stone stairs before coming to the mountain’s peak in front of the No .1 villa.Not only did the villa take up most of the mountain’s space, but it was also the one with the most subtle design.Under the dim lights, the entire place seemed like an ethereal wonderland.After all, the people living in the No. 1 villa could look down the entire outskirts with just a glance.After getting close to the villa, Harvey’s phone suddenly rang.Harvey looked at the screen before seeing an unknown number. He waved at the crowd before picking up the call on the side; he guessed
“Are we going back now?“Isn’t Harvey going to let us take a look around?Aliza Howell did not want to leave just yet.“It won’t do if we leave now! We haven’t taken a look inside!“Besides, you’re neighbors with him!“Since you have such a good relationship with him, it’d be good to visit each other occasionally, right?“If you’re not used to the surroundings because of your age, you should head back first.“Billie and I will stay here.”Naturally, Aliza thought she had utterly ruined Harvey York’s reputation when she looked arrogant.After all, Harvey saving her was the biggest humiliation she ever experienced.She had wanted to trample all over Harvey and let everyone know that he was utterly incompetent.More importantly, her good friends would not be in his arms this way.She would be able to introduce them to other wealthy heirs instead.“Forget it, Aliza,” said Judith.“We’re all university mates here. Show him some respect.”“I am though!Aliza gave a cold chuck
A few minutes later, everyone had left.Without even stepping inside the No. 1 villa, everyone could figure out Harvey York was probably Aria Surrey’s kept man. If that were not the case, he would not be living in a place like this.Aria was waiting for him in the villa, looking as if she was about to give Harvey a lesson.Harlan Higgs was at a loss. He did not think Harvey would steep this low.Whitley Cobb also felt a little down.‘Did the Surrey family also know what happened in Mandrake Residence? Is that why they’re acting this quickly?‘My family can’t go against a big family like that!’Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler were at a loss for words.‘He’s a capable man, yet he’s someone else’s kept man…’Only Aliza looked prideful. To her, exposing Harvey was so invigorating!-While completely ignoring the thoughts of others, Harvey casually walked into the living room.Lennon Surrey, casually sipping his tea, stood up smiling after seeing Harvey walk in.“I came on my ow
Harvey York perused the dossier.This was the information about an investment group that the top ten families formed.The person leading the group was Mandy Zimmer. Besides her, people like Rhodes Wright and the others were also involved.Harvey finally understood why Mandy went MIA for the past few weeks after reading the dossier.She must have flown straight to Wolsing after coming to the outskirts, then established the group before returning here.Harvey’s head started to spin after seeing the list of members in the group.Even the most discreet and ordinary person came from the top ten families.A group like this naturally represented the interests of the top ten families here.More importantly, Mandy even became the so-called leader of the group.Harvey was dead silent.“Conrad must’ve contacted the group by now.“Other than Rhodes, he’s the most troublesome person in the group.”Lennon Surrey pointed at the picture of a man hidden in the shadows.“Colby Thompson.“M
Colby Thompson squinted.“That’s all we needed to know. At least we didn’t waste our time coming here.“It’s rare for the top ten families to work together. It’d be bad if we leave empty-handed, right?”Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright were showing horrible expressions.The people behind them also looked gloomy.Almost at the same time, sounds of car engines were heard before a few dark green Toyota Prados were parked.The car doors opened before Conrad Surrey strode out with a huge group behind him.“Hey, everyone…” he said with a smile.“I slapped a few inspectors around since they kept yapping while I was doing paperwork. I wasted some time because of that.“Sorry about that!“If it weren’t for Young Master Rhodes’ documents, I wouldn’t have been out of here!“Truly a reliable person!“Well? Don’t you think that the outskirts is special?“A battleground since ancient times!“It’s been years since the place has seen war, but plenty of historical sites are around!“If any
“I’ll pass,” said Mandy Zimmer while glaring coldly.After stumbling around in the business world, she was no longer the naive girl who did not know anything.She knew the men were up to no good. That was why she wanted out.“I have someone to meet tonight.”“Sure. We’ll see each other tomorrow then.”Colby Thompson did not give much thought to the situation. After briefly locking eyes with Rhodes Wright, he left with Conrad Surrey and the others.Only two people stayed behind.Mandy glanced at Rhodes, who was standing beside her.“You’re not joining them to relax?”“I’m good.Rhodes pushed his golden-rimmed glasses.“I like quiet places. A scene like that doesn’t suit me.“If you have nothing to do, why don’t we get some coffee?”Rhodes glanced at the Starbucks at the side of the main hall.Mandy looked at her watch.“Sure.“I’m meeting with two other people later though.“One of them is Julie Augustus, the Maiden of Kronen Temple.“The other one’s Harvey York, the m
Mandy Zimmer sat in the main seat. She wore a dress without any makeup, with her beautiful hair slicked to the back, showing her gorgeous face and a smile that Harvey York had been completely hooked on.A woman in her twenties was sitting opposite Mandy.She had an elegant face with an ethereal feeling to her.She also had a precious mole in between her brows.Harvey could instantly tell the woman was probably a prominent figure from a sect.He had thought of a person in mind, but he did not mention it either.Other than the woman, a familiar face was around the same table.Miley Surrey!Stefan Augustus’s woman and the Surrey family’s fourth lady seemed like a companion pouring tea for Mandy and the other woman. The sight was enough to tell that the woman had quite an immense identity.“Maiden Julie, Harvey’s here,” said the suited woman after bringing Harvey in.Mandy smiled after seeing Harvey.“Harvey.”Naturally, she could not hold herself back anymore after seeing Harv
