At Hong Kong International Airport.Quinton and Queenie York were walking together side by side. Even in a world-class international metropolis like this, the sight of both of them together was still extremely striking.At the VIP boarding port, Quinton stopped and coldly said, “I’ve already arranged everything in San Francisco. You only need to sit still when you get there. No need to do anything unnecessary.”Queenie sent him a smile that could topple buildings.“Are you scared?”Quinton did not reply, but the instant he turned around, a sinister flash appeared in his gaze.Queenie tilted her head slightly at seeing his back. She sighed and asked, “Are these little tricks really useful?”“If you fail again, I don’t think even Grandma York would let you off the hook.”…At San Francisco Airport.Harvey York was already quite bored of waiting when Queenie had boarded her plane.About half an hour later, Halsey Lowe showed up.Her height was around 5.5 feet tall. She had wel
As expected from Halsey who had just returned from studying overseas, to have an impressive mouth on her. If it were any other person, they would be talked down by her to the point of utter embarrassment.But Harvey, who was already used to such words, did not feel a thing.Harvey glanced at Halsey through the rear-view mirror and asked full of curiosity, “What if I like being kept?”“Then I’ll finish you off myself,” Halsey coldly replied.Harvey shrugged.“Miss, are you studying the art of killing from abroad? Is killing me the first thing that you thought of? This is a federalist society!”“No need to smooth talk me. Soon, I’ll get you a big heap of money to leave Mandy alone.”“Rest assured, the money should be enough to last until you die happy!”“If you’re willing to leave Mandy, we can talk about the price.” Halsey continued icily.Harvey was speechless.“Miss, why do you keep talking about my and Mandy’s divorce? Can’t you be a bit more peaceful and friendly?”“The
The car swiftly drove down the streets of San Francisco in silence. The two soon reached the shopping center and stopped at the building of Sky Corporation’s San Francisco branch.The place that Halsey wanted to go was none other than this place.“I’ll leave my luggage with you for now, I’ll contact you again at night.”“Another thing. Hurry up and return the car already. The fees for today will be on me.”As she spoke, she threw a stack of money from her purse to Harvey.To her, the Bentley was rented by Harvey. Since that was the case, she would pay for him.She also generously gave a little more than the rent for Harvey’s hard work.It was safe to say that despite being prideful and fierce, Halsey still had some compassion left in her.Unfortunately, she was also treating Harvey like a servant.Out of respect for her admiration for Prince York, Harvey decided to be the better man and let her be.At that moment, Ray Hart gave a call.“Sir York, have you arrived at the San
They had to admit that Halsey Lowe was indeed very capable.Even though Harvey’s questions, which Ray asked, were really insightful, Halsey managed to answer them one by one.It was safe to say that she came prepared.Before she came here, she already decided that she wanted to be the general manager of the San Francisco branch.When the interview ended, Harvey knocked on the desk and immediately called Ray’s phone.“Tell her she’s been accepted.”Ray froze, but he soon replied, “Of course!”He did not have a stance of his own in front of Harvey. He only served Harvey.After putting the phone down, Ray flashed Halsey a smile.“Congratulations, Miss Lowe. I’ve just received a call from my CEO.”“He said that you’re very suitable for the position of general manager in our San Francisco branch. You can handle some of the procedures for today, and you’ll be able to oversee the businesses of the entire corporation from tomorrow onward.”“I hope we’ll get along together.”“What?!
Harvey was now certain of Halsey’s personality.He was indifferent at that moment, so he casually threw the money into the car’s armrest box.Halsey could not help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes after seeing that.She thought that she had judged Harvey correctly.She thought that the filth felt like he could get more money from her, which was why he was being attentive while having no other reason to do so!How could a man like this possibly be a good fit for Mandy Zimmer?Harvey did not forget to playfully tease Halsey and asked, “Are you here for business? Is it going smoothly? Don’t forget about me when you get rich!”Halsey rolled her eyes after hearing his nonchalant question.“Do you know what this place is?”“Isn’t it written on the building? It’s the San Francisco branch of Sky Corporation,” Harvey replied.“It’s a good thing that you know, because you should. After integrating all of the Yorks’ assets, this company is now the top corporation in all of South L
Halsey gave up on eating in the end. She only ordered a cup of coffee and started to sip on it.“You’re already full?”Harvey was curious.Halsey nodded, her face dark.She saw Harvey grabbing all the food in front of him and munching rudely on them.When Harvey was about done eating, Halsey then said icily, “Harvey, our ancestors have a saying: table manners meets character.”“I don’t even need to see your other behaviors to know that you’re a selfish person, and that you have absolutely no shame!”“If I guessed correctly, Mandy’s also paying for the rent of the house you two are living in, right?”Naturally, Halsey knew about the situation of Mandy living in The Gardens Residence.Harvey nodded.“Yeah. She’s paying for property tax, too!”“You! How shameless can a man like you even get?! How are you even fit for Mandy?!”Halsey was now shaking in anger.“Then what kind of man do you think is a fit for her?” Harvey asked.Halsey gave a humph when Harvey asked her that vi
After a brief moment of pondering, Harvey ultimately decided to stop Halsey’s way of thinking.He then seriously said, “Halsey, from what I know, Prince York isn’t that kind of playboy. It won’t work even if you get closer to him.”“Besides, he already has someone that he likes.”“Since you have a job already, do it properly.”“Stop thinking nonsense.”Halsey almost spat out her coffee after hearing Harvey saying all that with such a serious look.‘Does this man not understand the situation?’‘Not only is he useless, he even spits at other people’s good fortune!’Without a second thought, Halsey furiously replied, “The relationship between Prince York and I is none of your business!”Harvey sighed.“Halsey, do you really want me to say it bluntly?”“I’m not into you.”Pfffft!Halsey almost coughed out blood at that. She ground her teeth, shivering in anger.“Are you saying you’re the head coach and Prince York himself?”“Both,” Harvey said seriously.“You!”Halsey did
On the other side of the phone, Mandy was silent for a moment before declining Halsey’s offer.“Halsey, I know you’re doing this for my own good. But I’m already married to Harvey for more than three years. I’m already attached to him, so I don’t want a divorce.”“You…”Halsey did not know what to say at that moment. Her good friend must have been brainwashed by Harvey, right?If that was the case, Halsey needed to think of ideas that involved Harvey and incite him into asking for a divorce.Halsey could only gnash on her teeth. She marched back into the restaurant to look for Harvey.However, he had already left.…University of San Francisco.One of the ten most known universities in the country. Rumors said that the school spirit there was excellent. The university students were all public figures from Mordu and San Francisco.Harvey did not see anything special about the university while taking a stroll inside. He felt the place lacked in people and instead had a lot of m
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
