Originally, they wanted to use Mandy Zimmer’s identity to enter the ceremony.Yet as soon as they had gotten out of the car, someone handed them an invitation card?What was going on?Mandy looked at Harvey, perplexed. “You didn’t plan this, did you?”Harvey York frowned. He did not ask for anyone to hand them an invitation.But he simply shook his head and said, “It wasn’t me. Besides, we wouldn’t need one to enter anyway.”Simon and Lilian looked at Harvey with exhilaration before, but at what he said, they exhaled sharply. ‘Of course!’‘Just say that it wasn’t you and stop spouting nonsense!’“Heh, of course it wasn’t this filth.”A burst of laughter echoed at that moment.A chubby man with big ears got out of a Mercedes Benz and walked towards the family.Seeing him, Mandy frowned instantly. He wasn’t just anyone. He was the man that Felix Howard introduced to her before, Stanley Robbins from the Robbins family.“This is…”Lilian Yates’ eyes lit up after knowing th
“From today onward, your family’s problems are my family’s problems!”“The Robbins family may be just a first-rated family, but even the top rated families would have to think twice before crossing us!”“Now, let us attend this grand ceremony!”“But…there’s only three spots in the invitation. I’m afraid the beggar might not have the right to be inside.”Stanley pointed at Harvey York, then hugged his own arms as if he had won a battle.Lilian said coldly, “He’s just some filth. He acted on his own, signing the paper and dragging the whole family down with him!”“We should let people like him rot all by himself! No need to bat him an eye!”“Mandy! Let’s go, we should head inside!”Simon and Lilian looked like they were ready to ditch Harvey.The sight made Mandy frown even more deeply. “Father, mother. You can go if you want to. I’m not going, I’m staying with Harvey.”Stanley then smiled and said, “Mrs. Zimmer, I know that you have the heart of a saint. You won’t leave that
Some moments later, Mandy murmured in a disappointed tone, “Let’s just go home.”She didn’t expect Harvey would still talk big after things had gotten to this point. He wasn’t grounded to reality at all.Initially Mandy pitied him, but now she only felt disappointment. How was it that her live-in husband was incapable of anything except boasting?Harvey, however, looked at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard behind him and said, “We can’t leave yet. Mom and dad will need us later.”Mandy cupped her face and let out a huge sigh.“Harvey…where did you get all your confidence from?”“What are you planning now? Are you going to ask for help from Ms. Xavier again?”“You do realize you can't ask her for favors all the time, right?”“And have you ever thought about me when you go looking for another woman the moment you get into trouble?”“Don’t you think I’ll be ashamed?”“Oh, whatever! Fine, let’s wait here since you said that Father and Mother would be in trouble soon.”On the o
If Mandy would just compare Stanley to Harvey, she could easily come to a decision.Simon then said, “Actually, we’ve been thinking of kicking Harvey out of our family!”“It’s been three whole years since they’re married. Their marriage has always lacked substance!”“For a long time, all sorts of mishaps stopped them from divorcing! It’s such a shame.”“But this time, I won’t let it go that easily!”Stanley was at ease after hearing this.His reasons for wanting to marry Mandy wasn’t just because of her good looks. He also wanted to be acquainted with the Yateses.It was true that in terms of power, the Yates family might be the weakest out of Buckwood’s five first-rated families.However, the fact remained that they were a family of government officials.For Stanley, his rank in the eyes of the other Robbins would surely rise if he could become a grandson-in-law of the Yates family.This was the prime reason behind his determination. As the three were busy laughing and gos
The three were completely surrounded.One of the guards placed a hand on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, as if he was facing an enemy.“Since you dare fake an invitation, I will assume you have ulterior motives. You’ll be sent to the authorities later!”Feeling the murderous intent emanating from the guards, Stanley and the others could barely control their bowels. It looked as though these men were close to unsheathing their blades.Stanley, who was born with a silver spoon, had never faced a scenario like this.He immediately gave in.“It’s my fault, it’s my fault! We’ll leave immediately!”The guard could only laugh humorlessly.“Leave? This is the site of Prince York’s engagement ceremony! Obviously, the security here is of the highest level!”“You handed over a fake invitation and caused a huge ruckus. Now you’re trying to escape? I have to question your actual goal!”“Let me be frank. All of us here are soldiers from the Sword Camp. Lieutenant Colonel Ethan
Lilian Yates pointed wordlessly at Stanley, unable to say anything.Simon was hyperventilating, all too clear about the severity of the situation.Anyone who dared to use a fake invitation at a ceremony hosted by Prince York was seeking death!“Enough, stop fighting!”The staff were scowling.“If you can’t tell us where you got the fake invitation, then we’ll put you behind bars!”“I… I… I…!”Lilian was unable to muster a coherent reply.Simon looked as if he ate a bitter gourd.Never in their wildest dreams did they anticipate something like this would happen. They hadn’t prepared any excuses to get out of this mess.They had no clue how to explain their situation.The staff member was already quite impatient. Everything that happened at the Head Coach’s ceremony was his responsibility, after all!He wanted to deal with the problems as swiftly as possible. At this moment, a thought crossed over Stanley’s mind. He glanced at Simon and Lilian. “Uncle, Aunty. I know both
Mandy was delighted. She never expected her parents could actually be fair and reasonable. They actually helped Harvey get another spot for the ceremony!Soon, the two arrived at the entrance.Harvey wore a faint smile.On the other hand, Mandy could not hide the happiness between her eyebrows.For her, having her parents accepting Harvey, even for just a tiny bit, was a cause for joy.When Harvey and Mandy arrived, Simon and Lilian breathed huge sighs of relief. They were afraid that the filth would never come. If that happened, they wouldn't know who they could pin the blame on.Simon glanced at Stanley.He then pointed at Harvey and yelled, “He’s the one who made that fake invitation! Take him and put him in jail!”Mandy heard her father and froze instantly.She quickly understood everything.Stanley’s so-called invitation was fabricated, and the guards had quickly found out.Simon called Harvey over to trick him into taking the blame.Mandy’s head turned as heavy as a
All of the staff there automatically saluted. After that, they put their hands down and chorused respectfully, “Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer. We apologize for startling both of you because of this sudden problem!”“Please, come in.”Harvey nodded, then glanced at Simon and Lilian.“Those two are my uncle and aunt. Let them in as well.”The guard nodded and waved. The rest of the staff who surrounded Simon and Lilian immediately backed off.The guard then said to the two, “It was a misunderstanding before. I’m terribly sorry.”“Please, come in!”‘What?!’The jaws of the watching crowd fell as their mouths opened wide. They were unable to close their mouths.The whole scene felt like a dream.Stanley had to give himself a slap across his face to ensure that he was not hallucinating.The sight in front of him was truly astonishing.The staff members were soldiers of the Sword Camp, after all!They were the Kings of Arms with hundreds of victories under their belts. Everyone’s eyes w
"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
