Chapter 7

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“You are…Harvey?”

Howard Stone stared at Harvey doubtfully. He sneered for a while, parked his car, and walked straight into the hotel.

Harvey felt so awkward. He did not expect Howard to ignore him when he talked to him.

The two entered the private room one after the other. The classmates were all there at this time. Everyone looked over when the door opened.

“Isn’t this the class monitor? The class monitor has also become a successful person too! So handsome!” Someone heckled. Indeed, Howard was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes, with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.

Soon, someone saw Harvey who was walking in behind Howard. Although the suit did not fit him well, it was still an exquisite, high-end, and a famous brand.

A classmate saw this and smiled. “Harvey, you seem to be doing well too. Come, these two main seats are reserved for you and the class monitor!”

Howard glanced at Harvey and sneered. He shook his head and said nothing. He did not expose the fact that Harvey was riding on an electric bike.

Harvey responded but did not care about the seat. Instead, he looked around in a circle. There were not many pretty girls in the class back then. However, Wendy was still so pretty. She deserved to be a goddess.

Wendy was dressed up in business attire. Her perfect body was flawlessly shown to the fullest, just like a ripe peach. It was so seductive and attractive.

Even the cool Howard noticed Wendy at this moment. He was impressed. He came over, smiled, and said, “Oh, so it’s you, our goddess. I haven’t seen you for so long. Why didn’t you find me or contact me? So, where do you work now?”

Wendy smiled shyly and said softly, “I’m not doing so well like you. You even drive an Audi.”

Howard’s eyes lit up when he heard it. He seemed to have a chance. The goddess seemed to favor the Audi which he bought through installment loans.

Just when he wanted to speak, the girls beside him were already grinning and said, “Class monitor, don’t be fooled by Wendy. She’s now the administrative manager of the largest investment company in Niumhi—York Enterprise. It is said that she’ll soon be promoted as the general manager and she’ll be in charge!”

“Wow…”

Everyone was in awe. They knew how powerful York Enterprise was. Many enterprises and self-employed individuals were funded by them. Although this company did not do physical business, its influence covered all walks of life.

If Wendy became the general manager at such a young age, then she would have absolute power. Whoever succeeded in pursuing her, would not only have beauty in his arms but also a lot of resources. The benefits were unimaginable.

Moreover, this woman was so beautiful that she was no less impressive than some A-listed female stars. The men in the private room were ashamed of themselves and could not help swallowing.

Harvey did not have much interest in Wendy at first, but he became interested when he heard about York Enterprise. After all, it belonged to him now. In other words, Wendy was his subordinate. However, was she so capable? Could she be the general manager?

Harvey smiled and walked over thinking of this. He sat next to Wendy and was ready to talk to her.

Wendy smiled at first, but soon she frowned. After looking him up and down, she said, “Harvey, can you not sit here?”

“Ah? Is this someone’s seat?” He stood up and said.

“No. I just don’t want you to sit next to me.” Wendy said, “It’s good to wear a suit. But I think you forgot about your shoes. Could it be that you borrowed the suit?”

As soon as this statement came out, many people noticed that Harvey’s suit did not fit him well although it was of good texture. The most important thing was that he was wearing a pair of slippers with a few holes in it, and his left big toe even stuck out of it. His styling was a mess.

Harvey was rather helpless. ‘I should have bought a pair of shoes. This is so inappropriate.’

“Hahaha, Wendy, you have eagle eyes. At first, I didn’t want to talk about it since we were classmates before. However, someone is overconfident and wants to crave something that he is not worthy of. I think it’s necessary to let everyone know his true colors.” Howard walked out from the rear and smiled at Wendy fawningly.

“Our classmate, Harvey, just came here on an electric bike. I initially thought that he was just riding the electric bike temporarily because it might be inconvenient for him to park his car. After all, he was wearing a high-end suit. Unexpectedly, he forgot about his shoes. It was so embarrassing…”

Howard acted as if he saw through the lie. “Harvey, could it be that you have bought this suit with discounts from somewhere else? And looking at you like this, I bet you haven’t even torn off the label. Let’s go and return the suit after the reunion party, okay?”

“I think it’s not that bad…”

“However, it seems that he came here on an electric bike. I saw his keys!”

“Also, it’s clear that he hasn’t changed the slippers that he wore for years…”

“Yeah…”

Those classmates started gossiping about it in an instant. There were a few who wanted to show off in front of the goddess—Wendy, at this moment, they were criticizing Harvey harshly.

Just when Harvey wanted to explain, his former deskmate—Shirley stood up and said loudly, “You people are a little over-the-top. We are all classmates. Even if his style is a bit weird, do you have to say that?”

Shirley had a comely and elegant figure. She looked like someone from a good and prestigious family. Harvey often pestered to copy her homework when they were in college. Hence, the relationship between them was still good. Harvey never thought that Shirley would come forward to help him speak out.

Howard suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s collar when he saw another beauty from their class helped this trash to speak out. He quickly took out a tag and could not help saying, “Shirley, do you still want to help him? Do you see it? He did not even take the tags off! One piece is worth tens of thousands! Do you think that he can afford such clothes with his poor look! And if I remember correctly, Harvey had already become the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family three years ago, right? A live-in son-in-law and he’s still wearing Armani’s haute couture suit, hahaha…”

“Maybe this guy’s clothes were simply stolen from a man from the Zimmer family. Hence, it did not fit him so well…”

“Harvey, you have to be realistic. The whole Niumhi knows that you are the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family. You don’t have to pretend in front of us. We are all classmates. Why are you pretending?!”

Harvey raised his hand, pushed Howard’s hand away, and stared at him coldly.

Howard saw Harvey’s stare and sneered, “Do you want to hit me after I have revealed your true colors. Or do you want to tell me that the clothes are yours? If you can prove it, I will kneel for you!”

Harvey was about to speak when suddenly, his cell phone rang.

He quickly took out an old-model phone. Everyone was already laughing before he could even answer the phone.

It was so funny. Was this not the kind of old-model phone which consisted of a three-year calling credit for 99 dollars?

Harvey was using this kind of phone. How could he still dare to wear Armani to show off?

Had he lost his mind? Or had he become stupid after being the live-in son-in-law?

Harvey did not care about other people’s reactions at this moment. Instead, he quickly answered the phone. Soon, he heard the yell of his mother-in-law—Lilian from the other end. “Harvey, where did you go? Why haven’t you washed the toilet?”

Sh*t! He forgot about this! Harvey felt helpless, he should not have come to this reunion party.

“You are indeed the live-in son-in-law. You are even being scolded for attending a reunion party through a phone call!”

“It seems like his mother-in-law is scolding him and asks him to go back to wash the toilet.”

“Aye! Asking a man to do this, I would rather smash my head to death than to wash a toilet. Although I can’t make any money, I won’t be a live-in son-in-law. Even if you hit me to death, I won’t do it!”

“Poverty stifles a man’s ambition, I never thought you are such a short-sighted person!”

Everyone there was talking about it, even Shirley slightly sighed at this moment. She felt bad to see Harvey in such a situation. Her neighborhood happened to be recruiting security guards recently. It seems that she had to help Harvey to ask about the job, lest he had nothing to do and could not even afford to buy a pair of shoes.

“Alright. Just get out as soon as possible. Trash like you are not welcome here!”

Howard glanced at him with disgust. He then walked up to Wendy and smiled. “My goddess, don’t let your mood be ruined because of some ungrateful people. This restaurant was opened by my cousin’s good friend.

“Speaking of my cousin, you should know him. He is currently working at your company. His name is Don Xander. His good friend should do him a favor, which is to give him face. Maybe I can ask the hotel to bring their best wine here.”

He had already pressed the service bell before Wendy could respond. When the waiter came, he looked dissatisfied and said, “What kind of service is this? Why are you so slow? Quickly go and bring two bottles of the hotel’s best wine here…”

The waiter was stunned for a moment. But then the waiter said, “Sir, the best wine in our hotel is a bit expensive. I’m afraid…”

Smack! Howard threw the Audi car key from his waist to the table. “Do we seem poor and unable to afford the order? Don Xander is my cousin. Do you know who he is? He’s your boss’s buddy! Why don’t you hurry up and bring the wine here?”

Howard calmly glanced at Wendy’s face and saw the goddess being surprised, but he pretended to be indifferent. He had done such a big favor tonight. He was sure that the goddess would have a good impression of him.

Harvey did not expect that Howard was Don’s cousin. The two of them had the same personality which made him find it interesting. He was very interested to see what Howard was going to do.

Soon, the waiter brought up two bottles of wine. He then said kindly, “Sir, the wine is here, but…”

“Just shut up and open it!” Howard laughed and waved nonchalantly. “If you don’t get drunk tonight, don’t go home. Come, it’s my toast to you all.”

He picked up his wine glass and looked at Harvey who had nothing left. He frowned. “Harvey, although we are all classmates, can’t you see it? You are not welcome here. Are you planning to drink with us?”

    Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”“Hurry up and get out!

    “Ah…” Howard was dumbfounded, this…“No?”“No…no…Brother Tyson, have fun and enjoy…” Howard did not dare to look at Wendy’s face at the moment after he finished speaking. Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering. All of them looked like they were afraid to get into trouble.Harvey was the only person present with a blank face, not because of anything else, but because he was the one who trained and groomed Tyson Woods secretly when he was in the Yorks.Tyson had been on the streets at a young age. He had no money and power. He was almost hacked to death on the streets several times. Once, Harvey met him and thought he might become a prominent figure, so he decided to train him.He was surprised that Tyson had grown so much in just a few years.However, Harvey did not intend to recognize him.

    The next morning, Harvey who was still bleary-eyed and with messy hair went to the most prosperous business district in Niumhi by his electric bike.York Enterprise was located in this prime location.Yonathan called him last night and said that he had already completed the handover procedures for York Enterprise. If he signed the papers today, the company would belong to him.Harvey was quite concerned about this matter. After all, he bought the company with ten billion dollars. That was why he had rushed here early in the morning without eating any breakfast.Harvey was speechless when he reached the company. No wonder it was the most prosperous area in Niumhi. There were luxury cars everywhere. He rode on his electric bike here. If he just parked his bike casually, it would probably be carried away later.He took a circle around the company and finally found a parking space at the gate. He suddenly heard a squeal of brakes as soon as he had parked his bike.Then there was a ba

    “Are you asking me to leave?”Harvey laughed. How could an employee ask the boss to leave?“Don’t you understand my words? I’m asking you to leave! No matter who recruited you, I don’t care whatever background you have, in short, get out right now!” Wendy gritted her teeth.She took out a stack of money from her bag after speaking and threw it on the ground. She said fiercely, “You’re not leaving, are you? Don’t you just want money? Take the money and get out!”At this moment, a deafening horn sounded, the employees quickly dispersed, because a Bentley directly stopped at the parking space of the president.Then, a lady in her early twenties, wearing a white shirt, delicate leather pants, and a ponytail, quickly walked down while holding a pouch.Her appearance was about the same level as Wendy, but her temperament was incomparable to Wendy.She did not even look at other people and quickly walked to Harvey. She bowed ninety degrees and said, “I’m so sorry, Mr. York. There was t

    Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.…The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

    “Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated bef

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it?

    "Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she

    Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip

    "I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia

    "Alright, let's put that aside for now," Harvey said, ending the topic. "If word got out, we might force Dan to do everything he can to kill me."He shrugged. "Let's have some proper food now. Why hasn't the main dish been served yet? Didn't you order extra just now?" Harvey glanced at Alexei.Alexei chuckled. "Don’t worry about it, Big Bro. I ordered extra and all their signature dishes."He purposely showed Harvey the menu for the signature dishes. Looking at the number of zeroes behind the items, Harvey was speechless. It was just a meal… It didn't need to cost them thousands.Alexei chuckled again. "Don't worry about paying. I'll be straight with you. This restaurant is owned by Belladonna Cult, so Senior Vaida is its owner. She'll sign the bill off later, so we don't have to pay. Don't sweat it. After this, we'll come here more frequently for meals and drinks. We might not be able to go to the other places, but this place is fine, right?"Alexei's expression was one of

    “According to the rules of Belladonna Cult, everything in the Belladonna Cult will go to big bro Harvey after you get married to him. Only then will we have enough support to go against him until the end!" Alexei said through gritted teeth.He wasn't really that foolish. He knew the best time to act. At the very least, they shouldn't confront Dan head-on now. Otherwise, none of them could afford to bear the consequences.Harvey looked at the two of them, speechless. What were they talking about? Why were they talking about marrying him? They had to be joking about him marrying Vaida, right?Vaida was indeed quite beautiful and had a curvaceous figure, but they didn't have much feelings for each other. There was no reason for them to get married. Anyway, this was not a good time to meet with Dan.Harvey sat up straight and said to Vaida softly. "I appreciate it, Vaida. I know you want to get justice for me, but if you ask me, this is where this stops now. There's no need to escala

    "Harvey, I don't think you should go to your training hall late unless absolutely necessary. I believe Sverker and Ghostface will definitely come attack you. Even if you must go, let me know in advance. I'll have someone from Belladonna Cult accompany you," Vaida said seriously.It was obvious that she didn't spend her days idly after she came back. She had already eliminated certain elements within the Belladonna cult and regained some control over the cult.Harvey simply smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. I can handle it myself.""That's right, Senior Vaida! He's one of the top elites in the world!" Alexei said almost in a mumble as he stuffed a sticky date pudding into his mouth. "You didn't see just how good he was back in the casino. The Nine Wicked Blades from the Origin Sword Style was quite dangerous, yes? But in the end? They lost to him, and he only used one finger! You can't compare his powers with ordinary people."Alexei quickly gobbled up all the food on the tab

    Hearing the sincerity in Dan's voice, Clarion was at a sudden loss for words. He had said so much and did nothing wrong, but why must he be the one to take the fall?Did they know nothing about the meaning of forever?No… They knew—they knew exactly what was happening here.Clarion had a feeling that if he took these accusations upon himself, there was only one path waiting for him—an extremely painful death.Coming to this realization, Clarion took a deep breath and said slowly, " I'll say it one more time. You can order me to die, and you can even make me disappear forever, but you cannot destroy my reputation forever. Between losing my reputation and death… I would rather die!"As soon as he finished, he kicked the coffee table in front of Dan and left the office without looking back.-"Tsk! I didn't expect Dan to have made such a lapse of judgment. Regardless of what happened, Clarion was still loyal to him. Even though he became somewhat hesitant after I saved him, he stil

    Hearing that, Neve was well aware of Clarion's frustration. If things were to continue like this, Clarion would become Dan's puppet even if he remained unscathed.Dan likely intended to stabilize his social circle and prevent Clarion from aligning with Harvey. For some reason, Neve felt that forcing Clarion in such a manner might not be beneficial."Alright, Clarion. We're all adults here," Poisonless said with a smile, trying to ease the tension. "All of us here know full well of your calculations. While you've been with Dan all these years, you have never fully dedicated yourself to him. You acted like a fencesitter so that when the time comes, you can place your bets on someone else."And now, instead of holding you responsible over what happened in the past, Dan is giving you a chance to redeem yourself. By sacrificing your reputation, you'll be able to regain his full trust. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal."Also, do you honestly believe it's mere coincidence

    Dan looked nonchalant. Feigning sincerity, he said calmly to Clarion, "I have two reasons for doing this. "Firstly, I want to prevent this matter from affecting others. Since you've already been dragged into the mud, it's better for you to take the fall alone and protect everyone else. Secondly, it's clear that Harvey York is the one who has offended Sky Plane and you're simply taking the fall for him. I did this so I could anger Harvey."I've already thought of a solution to resolve this issue for you. All you need to do now is to release a statement clarifying that the person Sky Plane is really going for is Harvey. Criticize him, and the public opinion should shift in your favor."You should trust us. Public opinion is still ours to control," Dan said confidently. He shrugged, as if he had everything under control. "There's no way Harvey will survive this unscathed. I've already received news that Origin Sword Style's Sverker and Origin Ninjutsu's Ghostface had left Sky Plan
