“Mandy’s my woman,” said Harvey York.“Do you understand what that means?“If you go against her, you’d have to pay the price.“I already told you my conditions.“You can do as I say, or you can ignore them.“But then, you’d have to deal with the consequences of your actions after that.”Eiden Jackson’s eyes twitched nonstop after hearing those words.He finally understood that he was going against someone he should not have in the first place.He wanted to leave as soon as possible…But he knew that he would suffer worse consequences than this if he actually did.His company going bankrupt was nothing, but he also might be locked up behind bars! If he were to be brought down finally…Nobody would know how the people he oppressed would deal with him then.He shuddered even more after thinking of all this.Without a second thought, he instinctively looked at his arms when the idea of breaking which arm never seemed to cross his mind.“You can’t do it? Do you need my help
Maya Lee made some Black Tea for Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York before subtly shutting the door.Mandy seemed torn when she kept her gaze on Harvey momentarily.“Thank you, Harvey…“But then, I still think that you’re too violent.“It’s shocking how violence can solve things, but there also are many problems that come with it.“We took Eiden down this time, but who knows what he’ll do against us next time?“After all, doing this in business is a little out of hand. Promise me not to use it that much, okay?”Mandy’s words made Harvey look gloomy. He did not expect Mandy to change this much.‘I’m the one resorting to violence?‘Heh…‘Is this how you see me now…?’Harvey was not angry, though. He pondered for a moment before finally talking.“It’s not that I want to do things this way, Mandy.“Different problems require different solutions.“You’re right about the business world…“But, is it really as clean as you say it is?“Loopholes are being used to bypass the law. The s
Mandy Zimmer took a deep breath, forcing her to snap out of her emotions. Harvey York was right about one thing: there were too many problems that she had to face because of her company.Harvey managed to get the license for her, but the people who were fooled out of their wallets downstairs were also a huge problem.She could not just hope Harvey would fix everything with a few words as well.But in reality, this was something all too easy for him to handle.Then again, he knew Mandy too well.Her pride would not allow her to accept any more help from Harvey after he dealt with such a massive problem.After realizing that, he waved at Mandy before he was about to leave.“Right, Harvey…Mandy suddenly remembered something.“I recently helped Xynthia transfer to Wolsing’s Academy of Motion Pictures.“I was supposed to help with her luggage today.“But with the people downstairs, I’m afraid…”Harvey did not intend to refuse Mandy’s request.“Right. I’ll go help her out then.
Harvey York felt enraged after seeing the sight.He never felt good about the circle in the first place.But in any case, anyone who stayed in the circle would do so willingly.Xynthia Zimmer clearly seemed reluctant. Nobody knew who even forced her to do this in the first place.Without a second thought, Harvey quickly waved his hand.“Xynthia!”After seeing Harvey’s face, Xynthia momentarily froze before she was about to charge at him.The middle-aged man seemed different when he saw the sight.He cleared his throat before giving a look at the two beautiful students beside him.One of them approached Xynthia before speaking.“What are you doing, Xynthia? The shoot’s about to start! You can’t just run around everywhere, you know?”The other student with thin lips came before Harvey with her high heels.“Who are you? What are you doing here?” she asked while looking down at Harvey.“Don’t you know that there’s a shoot here?”She seemed like a princess, with her tone showi
Cason Lee did not have much talent, but since he was supported financially, he could direct a few mediocre movies every year.He was also known to use newcomers in his movies. It was safe to say he was the most welcomed professor in the school because of this.Many female students were willing to serve him just to get a role from him.He would never refuse their advances, bringing them around for business meals.Everyone had a clear idea of what kind of deal was going on behind the scenes.That said, Cason found a new student who did not know better, Xynthia Zimmer.Since the first day, he realized something when he found out that Xynthia was still a virgin.This was the school’s biggest reward.Giving her to a prominent figure would mean immense benefits.That was why he had been doing everything he could to get her a role as the protagonist.In his plan, Xynthia would surely repay him for what he did.She did that but only gave him some tea leaves from South Light while ac
“But…”Xynthia Zimmer hesitated. She wanted to have a special meal with her brother-in-law as a date…But she could not just say no to Cason Lee either.“Since your professor and classmates are so sincere, it’d be impolite to refuse.”Harvey York smiled. He could tell a lot of things judging from Cason’s behavior.It was good that he came this time.If Mandy Zimmer had been the one who came, there would have been some things that might have been harder to handle.“I’ll come with you tonight.“With that said, you should get a change of clothes. It’s windy tonight.”Xynthia shyly went to the changing room. She did not fully understand what Harvey meant by saying all that.The student with thin lips glared at Harvey before she coldly scoffed.“Let me introduce myself. I’m Veda Blake,” she spoke while looking down on Harvey.“I don’t care if you’re actually Xynthia’s boyfriend.“As long as you know what’s good for yourself, I promise you’ll get plenty of benefits.“But if you
“You want me to leave now?” asked Harvey York.“What do you mean?“I don’t understand…”“Keep pretending then!Veda Blake’s face instantly darkened.“Keep playing dumb!“I brought you here because Xynthia’s reserved and wouldn’t attend such gatherings!“You’re just a sorry excuse to get her here! Understand?!”Harvey smiled.“Since you figured out that much, what’s going to happen if she decides to leave with me after that?”“Heh heh!“Do you think you’re actually impressive?“Do you think we haven’t done anything? We already have you all figured out half an hour ago!“You’re Xynthia’s live-in brother-in-law, aren’t you?“Now that you’re kicked out of the family, you’re still clinging to Xynthia for food!“Xynthia’s been fooled by your ordinary looks for the longest time! When she meets Young Master Rayan and Young Master Kylan, she’ll realize you’re nothing to her!”“You’re here telling me all this when you didn’t even do a thorough investigation?“Aren’t you scared o
Xynthia Zimmer smiled brightly at Harvey York before heading inside while locking hands.The clubhouse was remodeled from an antique courtyard.The place was neatly decorated despite not having a roof. Anyone walking inside would feel as if they had gone back in time.No ordinary person would be able to experience such a luxurious sight.For many people, having a single meal here would be enough to brag for the rest of their lives.A dozen people were surrounding a couch in the middle of the courtyard.All of those people were extremely handsome and beautiful. It was clear they were all prominent figures from the upper social circle.Cason Lee was sitting on the side with his round belly protruding from his shirt.The young people before him were the protagonists at this very moment.They had been waiting for Xynthia and the others for the longest time. They quickly shifted their gazes as soon as they heard footsteps behind them.Their eyes instantly lit up after that.A god
