All Chapters of A Love Meant to Crumble: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Jenny said, "Fine, you can go. Just don't hit Zachery on the head or something.""I just wish I didn't know him," Anne replied.She brought the dishes over to the private room, stopping at the door as she heard the noise inside. Opening the door, she was taken aback just as she was about to step in.Sitting right across the door, slouching and smoking, was none other than Harvey. He was clearly stunned, immediately straightening up from his relaxed posture.Before he could say anything, Zachery spoke up, "Who said all the girls in school were into you? There are plenty who liked me, too." He glanced at Harvey before pointing at Anne. "She loves me a lot. Even if I didn't marry her, she still stayed by my side for eight years."Everyone had been joking around initially, but as soon as Zachery said that, both Julius and Caesar started frowning."Stop talking nonsense, Zachery. You're getting married soon," Julius reminded him.It was as if Zachery got triggered as he continued,

Harvey turned around to look at Zachery. His gaze was cold despite the smile on his face. "Bring it on."Anne stayed beside Harvey to pour him alcohol, while Caesar did the same for Zachery. They took turns drinking, and before long, the bottle was empty.Anne recalled how Harvey had mentioned he disliked drinking and assumed he was bad with liquor. She grew worried."Maybe you should stop drinking," she whispered.Harvey placed his empty glass onto the table. "Don't worry. I'll get him screwed up tonight!""Whoever goes down first, loses!" Zachery's anger flared up when he saw Anne whispering to Harvey.They each opened another bottle, which were both emptied quickly. Zachery was already starting to lose his balance, his body slipping down from the chair. "Keep it coming!"Caesar helped him up. "Forget about it, Zach.""Go away!" Zachery pushed him away and pointed at Anne. "You! Come over to me!"She glanced at him briefly, her gaze full of contempt."Don't just throw yours

Once they were in the car, Harvey removed his jacket and saw Anne looking up at him.She was beautiful with exceptionally bright eyes. As she gazed at him, he felt as though her eyes held nothing but him. Harvey couldn't help but lean down and kiss her, yet Anne covered his mouth with her hand. She flashed him a mischievous grin before kissing the back of her hand.He started smiling as well. There wasn't any reason for it, but he just couldn't help himself from smiling whenever she did the same."Why are you smiling?" Anne asked.Harvey gave it some thought before replying. "Because I'm happy. Why are you smiling, then?""That's because I'm also happy," Anne replied.They had been on the road for some time when Walter's phone rang. "Do you mind if I take this call, Mr. Stone? It's from my wife.""Please feel free to do so. Go ahead and pull over to the side," Harvey replied."Thank you." Walter's face was filled with concern, as if he had anticipated something was wrong at h

Zachery's hair was a mess, and his clothes were covered in dust after freezing through the night. He was shivering in the cold when he turned around.He saw Anne at a glance, and she saw him, too. He shot her an exasperated glare, while she remained cold and indifferent.Perhaps Zachery couldn't stand her gaze and quickly looked away. He then hurried back across to the other side.…After breakfast, Anne went to get changed. Meanwhile, as Walter would be coming over shortly, Harvey went to wait for him at the villa entrance.As she was done getting changed, she made her way to the neighborhood entrance. There, she saw Harvey casually leaning against the windowsill, talking to Gordon. She couldn't tell what they were talking about, but he seemed pretty animated."Your steak is tough and dry. I bet the problem started from the way you cut the meat. You shouldn't cut it against the grain—it should be sliced with the grain. Also, try adding some pineapple juice when marinating. It'll

Amelie completely ignored Harvey as she pulled Anne in.Inside the police station, the three of them sat on a bench as they answered questions from the officer.Connor and Doreen were simple people from the countryside. Having experienced something like this for the first time, they were still shaken and scared.Rowena, with her gray hair but sharp mind, was calmly explaining how they got scammed. "That young lady really looked like she had hurt her leg. We thought we'd be kind and send her to get a taxi, but she led us to a secluded area."Then, out of nowhere, several strong, young men jumped out and stole our bags. No good deeds go unpunished—I can't believe a young lady like her was already out there robbing people!"The officer asked, "How much cash do you have in your bag?""Not much, about 30,000 dollars. They don't have much, either—about 20,000 dollars," Rowena replied."Why didn't you keep them in your cards?" the officer continued."We're here to attend a wedding, an
