Harvey York spoke with a sheepish expression, "It's you, Journi."Isn't this wrong, though?"While we're a couple, we've only known each other for a day, but you're already spending the night with me."Will you be responsible for me?"I'm a decent man, after all!"The woman on the bed cursed Harvey countless times in her mind, looking at how Harvey presented himself.However, she still forced a faint smile and said, "Stop being such a smartass."Go and wash up."I'll wait for you."Harvey made a grin and stumbled into the bathroom. His head swayed as if he really had gotten drunk.The woman on the bed immediately jumped up. She did not give Harvey any chance to react and quickly undressed him proficiently.She even handed the showerhead to Harvey, signaling him to take a shower.Harvey had already fallen on the tiles, looking like a drunkard before he was even halfway drunk.When the woman wearing the nightgown saw what had happened, she snickered. Suddenly, she turned on
When Cason Lee's words reached everyone present, they all realized what he was talking about with strange expressions on their faces."Don't tell me… It's the head of our group…""Darn it. Does he really think he can do anything he wants because he just received the title of chairman?""Quick… Bring him out here!""He's really tarnishing the entire Commercial Group's reputation."The guests staying on the same floor were all attracted by the uproar.Some of the men and women who were originally going to share some intimate time in their drunkenness all peeped from the door gap.Journi Stanton also came out of her room after hearing the commotion. After learning everything that had happened, her expression turned stern, and she slowly said, "I believe we shouldn't make any claims before there's any evidence."While Journi had never acknowledged Harvey as her so-called boyfriend, she didn't want them to condemn Harvey for such a crime out of their own imagination."Princess Jour
When Kartier Failes saw Frank Zummo's arrival, he sternly spoke to the security captain, "You came here just in time, Captain Frank."Something terrible happened here tonight."Someone wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy. You must see justice is done for her sake.""What?" The shocked expression on Frank's face was obviously faked.Then, his expression turned grim as he stared at the door and said, "Come out here right now. Otherwise, if my men enter, I cannot guarantee your safety."Cason Lee approached Frank and whispered, "Captain Frank, Harvey's the one who wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy.""It's him?" Frank instantly revealed a cold smile when he heard the name.He cracked his neck and his knuckles as he approached the entrance. "Darn bastard. I could tell you weren't a good person the first second I saw you."I thought you were just a freeloader or maybe a thief."I didn't expect you to be so bold."Get out of there right now. Break your own hands and apologiz
Harvey York's expression was indifferent. "Apologize?"Why don't you ask your best friend who should be apologizing?"If she can apologize to me properly, I can let bygones be bygones."Otherwise, it will be up to her own fate on how this will end.""You…" When Zhuri Vaus heard what Harvey said, she was so angry that she started to stomp the floor as if her kindness had been completely wasted on someone undeserving."Zhuri, I know you're the chairman's assistant, and you still want to speak on behalf of this sham."But he's a repeat offender no matter how I look at it."Why are you still being so courteous with him?"When Kartier Failes said that, he glared at Harvey with a glint in his eyes."You bastard… You're a lost cause and you're going to be in jail for the rest of your life.""I'll tell Captain Frank to break your hands and your legs first before locking you up at the police station."After hearing Kartier's words, the sneers coming from around them were even more ma
Frank Zummo frowned and said coldly to Harvey York, "What do you want?"Harvey clapped his hands and said in a casual tone. "Aren't you going to call the cops?"Then, call the cops right now."I'll give the evidence to the cops, and my guess is that quite a number of people will have to spend some time there."Don't worry. The evidence I've prepared is especially concrete. I can guarantee that if this reaches the court, the judge won't even be in the mood to discuss the case."Frank was starting to become hesitant when he heard what Harvey had said.It would be bad for a company the size of Country H Commercial Group to get into such a scandal and was made into a huge deal.If the media caught wind of this and reported it, it would greatly affect the reputation of Country H Commercial Group.When Frank thought of that, all he could do was heave a deep sigh and said, "If you can prove that you've been framed, not only will I apologize to you, I will ensure the person behind thi
Harvey York merely shrugged before saying unbothered, "I never expected your scheme to be so shoddy."If you managed to come up with any brighter ideas, you wouldn't have ended up being humiliated right now."Mr. Failes, you must be the person behind this based on how you conducted yourself, correct?"Are you ready to receive your punishment?"Or should I take you to the police station myself?"Don't worry, I won't accept any compromise even if we're at the police station."I suppose I'm doing society a favor by locking up someone like you for a few years."Harvey sighed without hiding the disdain on his face.It was obvious that Kartier Failes' scheme was not up to his standards."You bastard… Do you want to hit me?"I'll beat you up and take your phone. Let's see how you're going to convict me, then!"Kartier's expression changed as he rushed toward Harvey with a bellow.It was clear once his scheme had failed, he was going to use violence instead.However, Harvey was no
Frank Zummo's expression was extremely dark.He would not even hesitate if he needed to injure Harvey York. All he needed to do was to swing the blade three times.But the problem was that Kartier Failes was his target now.The Failes household was a top-class family and they were extremely powerful. Kartier's father was also one of the more powerful ones among the directors.Just with Kartier being the lackey of Emery Wright, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, was enough to make him stop in his tracks.Frank gritted his teeth as the thought crossed his mind and said, "The law doesn't permit us from punishing a criminal ourselves!"I believe we should let the cops handle this."Once the cops have handled this, we'll see…Harvey gave Frank a look and said, "If I didn't have such irrefutable proof, not only would you have harmed me, but you're already finding a hole to bury me in, right?""Don't be ridiculous."Law exists in our country, you know?"I wouldn't have done
After Harvey York had left the manor half an hour later, a Porsche sports car sped out from the manor and reached an upscale villa community outside the city's Fifth Ring.The villa community was built by the mountains and a lake. The greening in the community was very well done, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the buildings were built in the architectural styles of the early 1900s.It was apparent that the buildings here were all around a hundred years old, but they were very well maintained. It was a testament to the wealth and influence of the owner.The Porsche stopped in front of a structure, and Kartier Failes, Hadlee Kennedy, and the others all got out of the car with a dark expression.Everyone could see Kartier was scheming against Harvey tonight.Not only did his scheme fail, but Harvey also immediately turned the tables on him.Kartier also felt unsettled by how Harvey said he would force Kartier to show him respect.That was why Kartier thought he had to
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
