“Harvey! Harvey!”“That b*stard again!”After hearing Mrs. Lee’s call for help, Joseph knew full well that if he didn’t protect her, he wouldn’t just lose his reputation…But many would also turn to Harvey’s side after realizing that Joseph feared Harvey!That said, Joseph was at a total disadvantage after what had happened at Flutwell’s new district.He still had some troublesome things he was desperately trying to fix.If he kept challenging Harvey, no doubt he would have an all-out war waiting for him.And if that were to happen, Joseph firmly believed that his two brothers would definitely take the opportunity to crush him once and for all.Everything he fought for would be for naught.Because of this, Joseph had no other choice but to let Mrs. Lee fend for herself.“I’ll kill you as soon as I rise to power, Harvey!”It was Joseph’s first time feeling so powerless.Other than screaming in anger, there was nothing else he could do.“You taught us to have the patience to
Joseph was hesitating whether to go all out against Harvey or not…Harvey, on the other hand, had already forgotten about the gift he gave Joseph.He was sitting in the hospital, waiting for Xynthia’s test results.Xynthia was quite lucky. Since Rudolph and his team were still around, they had been treating her with extra care.After an entire night, she had mostly recovered from her injuries.She seemed a lot better mentally as well. Not only was she awake, she even had a huge appetite for food.“Here’s your favorite Acorn Mush. I already blew on it for you. You can just eat it.”Harvey casually opened the package and put the casserole on Xynthia’s bedside table.Harvey knew how to make his own food, but there was simply no time for that for the time being. Ordering takeout became his go-to.“My hands hurt, Brother-In-Law! You feed me!”Xynthia opened her mouth slightly with a helpless look on her face.Harvey was speechless; he sighed as he glanced at her hand, which was s
Harvey sighed after seeing the look on Xynthia’s face.Sometimes, he couldn’t help but be impressed that the sisters had nothing in common with their mother.An insufferable woman like Lilian being able to give birth to two well-mannered daughters was already a good enough blessing.At this moment, Harvey knew he couldn’t joke with Xynthia about this any longer.“Fine. I won’t make it harder for you,” Harvey said after letting out a sigh.“Don’t worry. They’ve already received their punishment.”“Just tell them to kneel for an entire day tomorrow.”“Alright. I’ll listen to you.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief.She was reminded of another thing soon after.“How’s Larisa, anyway?”“I heard she’s been acting sluggish the entire time. It’s not because I shot her, right?”The kind-hearted young woman couldn’t help but worry about her friend.“I don’t know.”Harvey smiled.“But the shot probably didn’t affect her that badly.”“She’s not sick either.”“Huh? What happened to
Not long after, Mandy’s car, a Maybach, drove out of the garage.The car was the property of Hearthstone Corporation in the past. The car hadn’t been driven a lot since it belonged to the CEO of the company, so it looked like it was brand-new.Harvey sat in the back while quietly admiring the car.Mandy handed Harvey some breakfast after seeing him in the car before telling the driver to drive.“You already got in contact with Young Master Bauer?”“Is he going to give the money back or not?”Mandy sighed.“The three young masters are all prominent figures of Flutwell.”“The eldest Young Master Bauer is the best out of the three. He’s also quite isolated from the world.”“Normally speaking, it would be hard to see him even on TV, let alone actually meeting him.”“It’s said he has eighteen places he’d randomly choose to live in every single day.”“He wouldn’t even wear the clothes he’s already worn the day before.”“All this just to make sure he wouldn’t be tracked.”Harvey
Harvey chuckled.“Judging from what you said, she should’ve been a superstar by now, right?”Mandy sighed.“The entertainment industry is darker than we imagine. Elanor refused to sleep with one of the bosses, and so was permanently put in limbo. She was even assigned roles as a toilet cleaner or the victim of r*pe.”“To her, that is utterly humiliating.”“She met Jeff coincidentally and became one of his women. After that, she refrained from showing herself.”“That’s it?” Harvey asked, curious.“If Elanor is only willing to be one of Jeff’s mistresses, does she even have the right to negotiate with us?”“After being with Jeff, she used his authority to rip the director to shreds. Even his entire family was dragged down with him.”“The boss’ ancestors were dragged out from their graves and burned to a crisp!”Mandy was filled with shock. She didn’t understand how a potential superstar could have ended up in such a way.Harvey took a deep breath.“She’s ruthless!”“Jeff mus
Mandy pondered the situation for a moment.“I thought about it.”“We asked her out three times before she agreed to meet at her bullring.”“Number one: she doesn’t want to waste more time just to see us.”“Number two: she wants to flaunt her strength.”“Number three: maybe she wants to use the opportunity to see if I’m worthy of negotiating with her.”Harvey smiled calmly.“Interesting woman. No wonder she can be Jeff’s fifth mistress even without any background or powerful identity.”Realizing that the woman was probably quite extraordinary, Harvey sent a text from his phone.After all, it wouldn’t hurt to take any precautions.An hour later, the car arrived at the outskirts of Flutwell. A place that looked like a colosseum could be seen.The place was extremely spacious. The building itself looked like it was modeled after an antique.The east, south, and west sides had stands that were ten feet tall. The bull’s entrance was on the north.Wetlands similar to a football f
Compared to the elegance common to wealthy ladies, Elanor was different.She radiated unspeakable confidence.She was so calm and collected that people around her would believe in her ability to solve any problem.Without question, the woman was Jeff’s fifth mistress.An arrogant-looking man was standing right beside said mistress.The man would occasionally blow a puff of smoke, his face bearing an extremely bossy look.He was Elanor’s personal bodyguard. His status must’ve been quite high as well. He wouldn’t act so arrogantly if that wasn’t the case.Mandy gave Harvey a look, telling him to not be reckless before she walked toward Elanor with a smile.“Good morning, CEO Stanton,” she said with her right hand stretched out.“I’m Mandy from Hearthstone Corporation.”“I’m here to talk about the debt with you today.”“I hope you’ll have time for that.”The people around shot snide glances at Mandy after hearing her words.‘She’s asking Elanor for money?’‘She’s basically a
The people there had faint smiles on their faces.Naturally, this wasn’t their first time seeing such a thing happening.Elanor had been sucking people dry using this trick for a very long time.No matter which bull Mandy picked, the bull would always die in an accident.It would either be poisoned to death, or die in a fatal injury.Since this was Elanor’s turf, she always had the final say in the outcome!“You’re crossing the line, CEO Stanton.”Mandy frowned. She wasn’t an innocent woman who just got into the business world anymore…She knew that if she actually took the gamble with Elanor, she would most likely lose. Or rather, she would lose without a doubt.Perhaps this entire scene was set up by Elanor…Eleanor wanted Mandy to lose a hundred and fifty million dollars in an instant.“Crossing the line?” Elanor snapped coldly. She shrugged, her lips curled into a faint smile.“Nobody dares to ask me for money in Flutwell, or even the entire southwest region of Country
