Luke Surrey froze after hearing those words, then he smiled and realized what Harvey York meant.“You’re right, kid. True love does need more money. How much more are you proposing?”Ms. Yuna’s face turned as dark as night at that moment after hearing those words.She did not think that Harvey would sell her out for a bit of spare change.In the next moment, Harvey then lifted a finger and smiled.Luke froze for a short while, then chuckled.“You’re a feisty one, aren’t you?! You’re asking for one hundred thousand dollars?!”Harvey smirked.“You mistake me, Prince Surrey. That’s not what I meant.”“A million dollars?”Luke frowned. He was boiling with anger.This man that came out of nowhere wanted to use this opportunity to instantly climb the ranks!Luke’s gaze toward Ms. Yuna was filled with disdain.‘This is the man that you chose?‘This man only sees money!’Harvey chuckled and again shook his head.Luke took a deep breath and replied, “Don’t tell me that you want
At the rooftop level of the mall, in a music bar.This was a place frequented by young people. They loved to visit the place for food and drinks.After ordering a few dishes, Harvey York started to feast without a care in the world.And Ms. Yuna that sat in front of him didn't even move her utensils. She was still worried sick.“You should eat. The food will get cold if you don’t. You might not have the time to eat if you wait any longer,” Harvey urged while serving some food for her.Ms. Yuna could only have a bite out of fear of hurting Harvey’s feelings, but her worries could not be hidden from her face. She wanted to say something, but she ultimately held it back in the end.“What’s wrong? Is the food not good?”Harvey was curious.Ms. Yuna was hesitant to answer him before, then replied quietly, “Harvey, the place seems to be one of the businesses owned by Luke Surrey.”Harvey was shocked.‘What a coincidence!’After seeing Harvey froze over, thinking that he was scared
After a moment, a man wearing a suit walked swiftly toward Luke Surrey.“Prince, I’ve thoroughly checked the man.“This man’s car is under the name of a big company. The registrant is a woman, so I’m assuming that the car was borrowed.“And according to his name, he should be a live-in son-in-law.“As for more of his details, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”Luke chuckled after hearing about this.“A live-in son-in-law that rented a car would dare to steal the prince’s woman?“No need to keep checking. We don’t need to waste time on these people.”In the middle of his speech, Luke pushed open the box room door and immediately walked toward the place where Harvey York and Ms. Yuna were eating.Slap!A stack of green bills was suddenly slammed onto Harvey’s dining table; the soup splattered all over the place, dirtying his clothes.Harvey subconsciously tilted his head up and saw Luke.“Harvey York, I’ve thoroughly checked your identity. You know your status bett
Without a second thought, Ms. Yuna was naturally a bit disappointed.Because this meant that his carefree attitude back at Buckwood High School was not because of him having actual power.It was just because he did not know how strong the Surreys were actually.He was lucky as well. His wife even called the first-in-command of Buckwood along with the others to help him stand his ground.There were still loopholes to this theory.But the title of a live-in son-in-law was enough to change Ms. Yuna’s impressions of Harvey York in an instant.Her eyes were showing slight disgust toward him as well.What sort of dirty thought did the live-in son-in-law have if he did not specify that he was taken when she asked him out for food?But Ms. Yuna was not to be blamed; she was a beauty too and had a pair of peach-eyes. Men that approached her would naturally have heinous thoughts about her.That was why she would always be cautious and disgusted toward any man that approached her.And i
“What chance?” Harvey York calmly asked.Luke Surrey slammed his hand onto the table and swiped the remainder of Harvey’s meal to the ground. He then stepped on the table with his leather boot.“Now, kneel! Lick the boot clean, and then you can leave!”“Yeah! Lick the boot!”“How dare you pursue a man that Prince Surrey wants?! How presumptuous!”“You’re lucky that you’re not beaten to death yet, being this arrogant in front of the prince!”“...”The crowd was clamoring. Luke was wearing a smile fit for a victor, proudly looking down at Harvey.Harvey then let out another sigh.“Ms. Yuna, I didn’t think you were such a dangerous beauty.”Ms. Yuna frowned. She was truly disgusted by Harvey at that moment.Not only was this man a live-in son-in-law, he even wanted to shift all blame toward her when things had escalated to this point.After taking a deep breath, Ms. Yuna then stood up and looked at Luke.“Luke Surrey, let him go. I’ll even have a meal with you if you do!”Ha
Harvey chuckled. He didn’t expect Luke Surrey would calm down at a key moment like this.He sized Luke up for a while, then laughed softly while murmuring, “Interesting.”“Now, scram!” Luke spoke up coldly.“Prince Surrey demanded you to leave! Why are you still standing here?!”“Get your ass out now! After this, keep your eyes wide open and remember that Prince Surrey isn’t someone you can offend!”Faced with the barrage of insults and yelling from the others, Harvey left without a care.Yuna trotted along to catch up to Harvey.Seeing this, Luke’s face darkened by a few shades. However, he didn’t stop anyone.“Prince, why are you letting him go? He disobeyed you!” A servant strode in quickly and asked out of curiosity.Smack!Luke slapped the servant hard in the face and bellowed icily, “What do you know? That man probably has some skills, so go check everything out! Investigate him thoroughly!”“Only after everything is clarified will I decide whether or not to touch him!
What did that mean?Harvey suddenly became guarded.‘I’m an upright man, so don’t you dare target me.’Yuna didn’t think that her statement was anything suspicious, so she handed Harvey an invitation card and added, “There’s a gathering tonight which requires me to bring along a male partner.”“You saw how things are for me. I have no male friends at all.”“If you’re willing to be my male partner for tonight, I’ll regard it as you repaying me the favour.”Harvey thought about her offer for a while. He asked, “Is this gathering very important to you?”Yuna nodded lightly. “Those who will be attending the gathering tonight are all big shots in Buckwood’s education industry, as well as the whole of South Light. I hope to get to know some of them.”“It’ll aid Buckwood High School’s future developments and our students to get admitted into colleges.”“Alright.”Hearing this, Harvey agreed instantly.Xynthia would be applying for colleges already next year. Maybe tonight, he could
After arriving at the college town’s exhibition centre, Harvey and Yuna got out of the cab. Harvey realized that quite a number of people were staking out, probably waiting for the headmasters and chairmen of various prestigious schools. When they noticed Harvey and Yuna’s arrival, many thought of the two as competitors and shot them glares of daggers. But when they saw Yuna pulling out an invitation card, they became speechless.Who wouldn’t drive an expensive car to attend an educational gathering like this?Even those who wanted to stay low-key would at least drive an Audi or BMW. Certainly, no one else would arrive in a mere cab!Harvey and Yuna entered the banquet hall shortly after their arrival at the exhibition centre.There were people assigned specifically to check their invitation cards, who then ushered them to the entrance. “Mr. York, Ms. Yuna. The banquet is about to start. If there’s anything both of you need, you can call over any of the waiters here.”Harvey
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
