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
In an educational event such as this, the security was always extremely tight.The people who went in and out of here were all big shots of the education industry. If anything went wrong here, it would reach the headlines.At Rowan Juan’s words, a few fully-armed security guards hurried over.“Sir, Miss. Please show me your invitation card, “The security requested Harvey.Harvey wiped off the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Yuna.Yuna nodded before showing the guards the invitation card from before.Seeing this, Rowan’s facial expression changed slightly. Apparently, she didn’t expect Yuna really did have an invitation card.However, she wasn’t ready to give up. She immediately suggested, “Captain! You better look properly. Maybe this invitation is stolen from somewhere!”The security captain, who was about to apologize, instantly opened the card and took a good look at it. His expression changed. “This invitation card is for Buckwood High School’s chairman, but I
Rowan Juan was shocked when the security guard captain yelled at her, and put on a look as though she had been wronged.She thought revealing the true faces of this thief and conman would be for the betterment of this gathering.Why didn’t this security captain appreciate her gesture?But how could she understand his thoughts? If this problem worsened, even if it did get taken care of in the end, the captain knew he would be finished.“Sir, Miss. Please leave.”The security captain struggled to keep his cool as he gestured for Harvey and Yuna to leave.Yuna’s face became pale white. This was the first time she had attended such an event, so she didn’t know what to do under these circumstances.Harvey, on the other hand, said calmly, “If I were you now, what I would do is to investigate Miss Yuna’s true identity instead of being unreasonable and forceful.”“After all, Buckwood High School is the best high school in Buckwood. If the school headmistress gets kicked out by you and
Luke Surrey’s complexion worsened at those words.Even though he was the Prince of the Surrey family, he still dared not lash out on this occasion. He could only glare at Rowan Juan before walking out.“Gentlemen, I do know these two. But they are surely not my friends. I will not make friends with such trash.”Normally, he would still defend Yuna.However, since Yuna and Harvey had come together now, how could he flatter them?Meanwhile, the guests were all focusing on Harvey. No one noticed that the first-in-command of Buckwood, Yoel Graham, had already entered the venue.His secretary went to Buckwood High School with Yoel today, so he recognized Harvey with just one glance. He said in a low voice, “Sir Yoel, there seems to be some misunderstanding. The identity of Mr. York isn’t that simple. I think I should go and explain.”Yoel waved his hand, his expression a little solemn. After a while, he replied slowly, “Don’t do anything for the time being. Wait until the situation i
“Prince Surrey, outsiders say that you always are arrogant since you’re a young upstart. It seems you already have the charisma of Prince York!”“You were born in the wrong era! If you entered society three years earlier, then Prince York’s got no business being in Buckwood!”“Yes! It seems that the outside world has highly exaggerated Prince York’s abilities. In truth, you’re the one who is young and successful!”The crowd around also began to praise Luke.After all, Luke did show them some respect. Naturally, they had to return the favor.As for the comparison with Prince York, this was quite normal.After all, Prince York was the number one man in all of South Light.Listening to these people comparing himself with the legendary Prince York, Luke couldn’t help but feel complacent.Being compared to Prince York was the highest honor in South Light.Didn’t Leon Silva claim he was the closest to Prince York back then?“Gentlemen, stop flattering me too much. I know very well
Rowan Juan, who was on the sidelines, found the whole thing very interesting.She never thought that things would reach this point.How dare that coquettish Yuna’s lover hit Luke Surrey?He was definitely asking for death!Now, the situation has escalated this far. Not only was this man going to die, but Yuna would also end up just as badly.After all, Luke was not as suave as he seemed to be.“Who are you? How dare you hit Prince Surrey!” Rowan ran to Luke’s side with a concerned look. She pointed angrily at Harvey and cursed, “Do you know who he is? Do you know his status?” Secretly, she was hoping that things would get worse.Luke’s eyes were ice.To him, the looks of the people around him were all a mockery.They were all taunting him!His rationale began to fade away. Right now, he couldn’t wait to slaughter Harvey.The security guards were dumbfounded. They never expected that Harvey would dare to hit Luke, even going as far as to slap the latter.It wasn’t just that
“Sir Yoel, I don’t care whether their invitations are real or otherwise, or whatever their status may be. Since they dared to hit me, they owe me an explanation!”Luke Surrey exclaimed furiously.Yoel narrowed his eyes at Luke and replied indifferently, “Prince Surrey, I’m afraid you still don’t know who is standing in front of you.”“I’m telling you. He’s a noble person who even I, Yoel Graham, have to respect!”“I know what happened. You started the whole mess. You deserve to be hit!”“I urge you to kneel right this instant now apologize to Mr. York. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”So saying, Yoel nodded respectfully at Harvey’s direction and went to greet Harvey. The sight stunned every single person in the hall.Even Yoel Graham respected Harvey so much. Who was this young man?“Yoel Graham! What do you mean?!”“You think you can run trample all over the Surreys just because you’re the first-in-command of Buckwood?”“Let me warn you! It’s only a matter of a few words from
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
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
