“Live-in son-in-law! Let go of Miss Naiswell’s phone this instant!” “How could you argue with Master Naiswell given your capability? Are you insane?” “We were stupid just now. How could we believe you?” At that moment, everyone present condemned Harvey York, scolding him ceaselessly. But in that instant, Shane Naiswell drew in a cold breath all of a sudden at the other end of the video call. He then said in confusion, “Is it the luminous technique? That was Albert Bierstadt’s special painting skill. How could there be such a technique on a fake painting? During all these years after so many eras, there is indeed no one who’s able to make such a replica in such an exceptional manner. It’s impossible. How could it be possible…” At that point in time, Shane was filled with deep disbelief. “Sir, after hearing what you said just now, do you think that this painting is authentic? Then could you explain why there are two remaining paintings which are currently displayed in the mus
She could refrain from believing Harvey York’s judgment. But she had absolute trust in Shane Naiswell. It was because her grandfather was an expert master in the appraising field. There were indeed not that many people who enjoyed the same prestigious status as her grandfather in their country. “Sir, if you’re free as of late, please come to the Naiswells to meet me. You’re most welcome here at any time.” At the other end of the phone, Shane smiled faintly before hanging up the phone. After that, Harvey threw the phone to Rosalie Naiswell casually. He then smiled faintly and said, “Miss Naiswell, do you still remember our bet just now?” “I…” Rosalie was speechless. ‘Do I really have to address him as my father?’ Standing beside them, Wyatt Johnson became deeply furious. He then scolded, “Harvey, are you even a gentleman? Miss Naiswell was joking with you. How could you be so serious about it? How could you try to make things difficult for a woman? Is that what you’re capable o
Mandy Zimmer was slightly anxious too. She then said apologetically, “Miss Naiswell, we’re truly sorry. Harvey just said that casually. Don’t take it to heart. Please don’t mind him.”Wyatt Johnson said dully, “Mandy, although he’s your husband, you can’t always protect him like that. He’s indeed just a coward. You really don’t have to act like this.” Rosalie Naiswell frowned deeply as her facial expression worsened. At first, the incident had ended. But after what the others did, the incident became worse, and she would only become quite humiliated. Thinking of that, her voice became much colder, “Harvey, we can’t joke about the reputation and dignity of the Naiswells. You’d better explain yourself clearly. If not, this won’t end here.” Harvey York admired Rosalie more now. Nowadays, there were not many people who were so honest and straightforward. Thinking of that, Harvey said slowly, “Miss Naiswell, don’t worry. Please listen to my explanation.”“Previously, you said that
Needless to say, Wyatt, Jake, and Cecilia wanted Harvey to die. Why would they consider helping Harvey right now?Additionally, the others were eager to auction again, because “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” was so famous that there were many people who wanted it.At that moment, a young man in a suit walked out from behind the stage with a few bodyguards.“Mr. Cloude…” The auctioneer let out a sigh of relief when he saw the young man. This was Jude of the Cloudes, the person in charge of the auction, and he already knew about what had happened just now.Jude’s cold gaze travelled around the room before settling on Harvey. He smiled at him. “Sir, I heard that you helped identify the authenticity of “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak”. To express our apology, we will pay you an appraisal fee of one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars. Please do not refuse it.”Harvey frowned slightly. What did Jude mean? Giving him an appraisal fee? Was he shamelessly trying to get out of
Rosalie who was standing nearby spoke up, “Jude, you are way out of line.”“Rosalie…” Jude frowned. He did not care about Mandy, in fact, the entire Zimmer family was nothing to him. However, things were different when it came to the Naiswells since they were also a top family in the provincial town. Since Rosalie had spoken, it would be bad if he did not give her some face.Jude smiled while thinking about it, and eventually said, “I won’t say too much since Miss Naiswell has spoken, but some people should be a little more self-aware and know their place. It’s as the saying goes “a man’s wealth is his ruin by invoking others’ greed”. This saying has been popular since ancient times, hasn’t it?”Jude gazed at Harvey pointedly after that, then turned around and left. He already knew that “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” was in Harvey’s hands, but was it not easy for him to get it back?Harvey frowned contemplatively. He knew what Jude was thinking, but he was not worried that Ju
Mandy, Rosalie, and Yvonne, three incredible women, stood around Harvey. Many men looked at him enviously.Yvonne did not care about other people’s gazes, and looked at Harvey with a smile. “Mr. York, I’m interested in the “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” you have. I wonder if you are willing to transfer it?”The entire audience went silent as soon as Yvonne said that. After a while, some people gasped and exclaimed in shock.If the Cloude family was a mogul in South Light, then the Yorks was a mogul among moguls. Since this lady who represented the Yorks had said that, if this live-in son-in-law dared to refuse, he might not even know how he died later.Many people looked at Harvey smugly, wanting to see what he was going to do.Harvey said with interest, “Name your price then, Miss Xavier.”“Anything is fine; we can afford any price. Our CEO is very interested in your painting.” Many people gasped when Yvonne mentioned the word CEO.The new CEO of York Enterprise was myste
Mandy was slightly shocked. She had never expected Harvey to refuse money and exchange it for the Forever Mine instead. If he willed it, a few hundred million dollars would have also been a fair price. However, this man only thought of her even under such circumstances, and he just wanted to make her happy.Mandy looked at Harvey and bit her lip unconsciously as she thought about it. A strange feeling bloomed in her heart.“Miss Xavier, you can’t give it to him! The painting may be fake!” Jake suddenly blurted out.What? Why did he say that? Everyone immediately turned to him.Yvonne looked over, speechless. Where had this guy come from? She was just having fun while acting with the CEO. Why did he have to suddenly appear like this?However, Yvonne continued acting as though she was shocked. She smiled hesitantly and asked, “Sir, why did you say that?”Jake said solemnly, “Miss Xavier, Harvey is just a live-in son-in-law. He doesn’t know how to identify the authenticity of the pa
Harvey’s eyes lit up. He could finally enter the bedroom after sleeping in the study room for three years. At that moment, he could not wait to go back home.As for the idea of a divorce, he had blocked the thought out of his mind.Jake gritted his teeth, and could not help but glare at Cecilia.Cecilia nodded and said coldly, “Mandy, you must not be deceived by him. He is just a useless guy and has not changed. He was just lucky that he got the painting, whether it’s real or not, for only fifteen dollars. You must not accept the gift from him. Otherwise, if the Yorks discover that the painting is fake one day, then—”Slap!Yvonne had strode forward in her high heels and slapped Cecilia across the face before she could finish.“You… You...” Cecilia held her face in shock, unable to speak for a long time.“What?” Yvonne’s face was cold. “I don’t care what kind of relationship you both have, and I don’t care whether you are joking or being sarcastic. However, I don’t allow anyone
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
