Harvey looked at Pamela with a dry smile. It seemed like Pamela was really treating herself like a big shot. He wondered what her expression would be if she knew he was the one who killed the Thompson family's scion, Hector.Before Harvey could say anything, Journi had already taken a step forward and gave Pamela a cold glare. "I'm warning you, stepmother. You should stop insulting my boyfriend. Since he's my boyfriend, I will protect him. Even if he's living off of me, it won't change the truth that he's my boyfriend."I'm also clarifying my stance one more time. I'm not interested in Emery. Never have and never will. So, you can stop building castles in the cloud and try to match the two of us.""Ha! You must have watched too many teen dramas," the expression on Pamela's face did not change much even after being rejected by Journi as she simply watched with interest. "Do you know I've hired someone to be my fake boyfriend and played the same act when I was younger? At the time, I
"You…!" When Pamela heard what Journi proclaimed, she stood up out of sheer anger and pointed her finger at Journi. She wanted to say something but realized that nothing she said would carry any meaning at this time. Journi was willing to sacrifice her life; what else could Pamela say to threaten her?When the thought crossed Pamela's mind, she turned her attention to Harvey. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to Journi. Then, she had to switch her target. Her expression darkened as she narrowed her cold eyes at Harvey. "I don't care who you are or where you're from, boy."I'm going to make this simple. If you still value your life, you should leave, immediately. You don't know what lies under the murky depths of our family, but you should have heard about the Wright family. They're one of the top ten families in Country H. A marriage between our two families has already been determined. It doesn't matter who you are, interfere with this, and you'll only end up dead!"There w
Harvey had slapped Elric? He also had killed Hector?Those were two simple statements, but the content of those statements was enough to make them shudder.The three middle-aged women and Pamela were not the only ones stunned. Even Journi instinctively turned and looked at Harvey in disbelief. They could not believe what Harvey had just said.If slapping Elric was at least plausible and could occur, then they were unsure how he could still stand there as if nothing had happened after killing Hector. That was not something that could possibly happen in the real world.Hector was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, after all. He was always accompanied by elite fighters wherever he went. It was impossible for him to get killed by someone like Harvey.After the initial shock, Pamela quickly collected herself. She coldly looked at Harvey and said, "You're overreacting after I commented. Do you think someone like you has the right to slap my husband? And even kill the Thompsons' s
There were mixed feelings in Journi's eyes as she felt the emotion within Harvey's words.Journi grew up in a single-parent household since she was little, and her father was the kind of person who would just sell her for profit. Despite being called a princess, she was just a young woman who had lived with a different burden that was no less heavy.She had never had a source of safety since she was young. She did not expect that she would get it from Harvey. Not to mention, Journi could sense that he was different from the other men who simply wanted her.Harvey's protectiveness of her did not involve any kind of perversion.It was so rare."Enough, boy. You really think you're someone important, now?" Pamela suddenly stood up with her arms folded in front of her chest, her eyes filled with viciousness. She looked at Harvey as if she could kill him for a long while before she snorted and said, "Journi, are you going to get rid of this man yourself? Or will you wait until securi
Pamela raised her hand, and the dozens of men in black immediately advanced and blocked Harvey and Journi's path.Harvey looked at the men and said calmly, "Mrs. Stanton, seeing that you're my girlfriend's stepmother, you still have time to stop. If it were someone else, I would have already slapped them away. What do you think?"The middle-aged woman chuckled and did not believe Harvey at all. They all looked at Harvey as if they were looking at the most foolish man they had ever seen. Pamela narrowed her eyes when she looked at Harvey and said bitterly, "Do you really think I won't dare to touch you just because we live in a country ruled by law?"Harvey calmly replied, "Does someone like you even care about the law? Of course, you can do whatever you want to me, but you should consider if you can accept the consequences of your actions. Don't say I didn't warn you if there's nothing left of you to be buried in the end."Pamela scoffed. "You little fool. You deserve a little prai
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
