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
“I heard you’re from the Jean family’s ninth branch, Ms. Xynthia! “I’m from the Hunt family! Judging from this, we must be closer than we thought!”Kylan Hunt squinted with a bright smile.He pointed out his immense identity and emphasized the massive difference between their statuses.He was planning to conquer Xynthia Zimmer both in body and soul.His eyes lit up when he smiled. Even his breathing started to feel a lot heavier then.If this were any other occasion, he would have already forced himself onto Xynthia.He was pretty content with Cason Lee’s gift.“Young Master Kylan.”Xynthia lightly nodded without extending her hand before quietly pushing Harvey York forward with a smile.“I heard that you were the one who picked the role for me, Young Master Kylan.“To show thanks for your acknowledgment, I brought my boyfriend, Harvey, here to thank you as well.”Xynthia clearly knew what Kylan was planning. She never attended a gathering because she wanted to prevent the
The beautiful women disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Naturally, all of them believed Harvey would be lowering their standards if he were to sit with them during their meal. That would be simply embarrassing.“I see. You’re an impressive kept man, alright…”Kylan Hunt realized something before he looked at Harvey with disgust.“As her future husband, there’s something I should be telling you!“People like you shouldn’t stick your head out where it shouldn’t be!“If not, you might just cause your own demise when you get into trouble!”Then, Kylan glanced at Veda Blake.“Honestly, Veda.“How could you get him here in the first place?“Who will take responsibility if he decides to wail on a future star after having too many drinks?”Veda lightly chuckled.“I already gave him money for his family bucket…“But, what else can I do if he doesn’t know what’s good for himself?“Maybe you should give him some more money instead.“He’d probably be satisfied with something more ex
The people here weren’t idiots; they knew Xynthia probably brought Harvey here to act as her shield.However, they didn’t know that the shield could fight back!He was bold enough to even kiss the corner of Xynthia’s lips!Kylan was so angry, he was about to pass out; he had never held Xynthia’s hands, after all!Xynthia’s face was bright red; she didn’t think that her brother-in-law would do something like that either.But thinking back, she figured she wouldn’t have a chance if Harvey didn’t like her mother!She seemed a little down after remembering how Lilian would usually act. With Lilian around, Xynthia probably wouldn’t be able to be with Harvey anyway.While Xynthia hesitated, Harvey had already wrapped his arm around her thin waist and looked forward.“Now you believe that I’m her boyfriend?“In reality, I only divorced my wife because I was into her.“If you feel like you need more proof, you can just ask!“This was supposed to be our little secret, though…”Harve
Kylan’s expression turned severe as he spoke up again.“You’re from the Xavier family, Young Master Rayan. You have an immense identity and a high status…“But you shouldn’t offend Sir York here like that! He might just make your entire family kneel after this! What are you going to do after that?”Rayan seemed completely horrified. “You’re right! Sir York, please don’t mind me! I’ll treat you with respect! Don’t make me kneel!”The crowd burst out laughing.Anyone could tell that Kylan and Rayan were treating Harvey like a joke.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey with disdain, thinking he should’ve just died as a man rather than being this shameless.“Oh, Sir York! You must be quite the impressive man for the prominent figures of the Hunt family to bow to you!”Kylan waved his watch around, his gaze bright, planning to completely expose Harvey.“Let me guess who you are, then!“I heard the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group is about to retire! Someone with th
Before Harvey could say anything, Kylan seized the opportunity and continued his speech.“I didn’t just guess it, Sir York!“You’re like a firefly in the night sky—an impressive man like you would stand out no matter where you go!“How about this? Would it be fine for you to give me your address?“I’ll take my family to kneel in front of your house tomorrow! How does that sound?”Kylan even glanced behind him before showing a furious gaze.“Come! What are you people doing?! Greet Sir York already!“He’s the king of the country’s business world, you know? His pocket change can feed every single one of us for the rest of our lives!“Come! Come! All hail Sir York!”Kylan waved his hand to bring the crowd along, faking their respect towards Harvey. At the end of the day, they only planned to crush Harvey under their feet.The beautiful women couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight.‘He’s such a handsome man, but he’s this useless? How can there someone be this ignorant?
The people who were stunned by Harvey’s phone call snapped out of their confusion.They were instantly infuriated after that.‘That’s right! How can a mere live-in husband be the chairman of the organization? He’s a shameless kept man at that!’“Tch! You’re not even wearing clothes that cost fifteen dollars in total, but you call yourself the chairman?“You probably spent money for someone to help you show off, didn’t you? How are you so vain?“Even if Young Master Kylan didn’t joke about you, you probably would’ve shown off your phone call regardless!“You’re embarrassing Xynthia here!“Take a look in a mirror before doing something like this, you moron!”“You guys see that? He’s wearing a Rolex! He probably bought it at some rundown subway station in Buckwood!”“You think you’re actually impressive? Young Master Kylan’s just toying with you!”Kylan and the others were clearly enraged. Harvey’s constant disrespect, along with the horrible beeping, was completely unbearable.
“See what?”Harvey showed a calm expression, as if he didn’t understand Cason.“People can be stupid, but playing dumb is a different story,” Cason replied coldly.“Anyone with eyes can tell that Young Master Kylan’s interested in Xynthia.“I don’t care if you’re actually his boyfriend or not—maybe you’re just here to stand up for her… If you know what’s best for yourself, you should get out of here right now!“If you do, I can speak up for you later. Since you brought Xynthia here in the first place, we can pretend that nothing ever happened between us…“Besides, I’ll even give you a lot of benefits.”Harvey smiled.“A lot of benefits? But Xynthia’s my little smoochie!“I don’t care what kind of benefits you have. You’re not making me leave that easily.”Cason showed a disdainful glare before pointing at the beautiful women around him.“Other than the wealthy ladies, you can pick whoever you want in the crowd! Even Veda!“I’ll even give you sixteen thousand dollars as hush
