Adam Xavier smiled when he saw Yvonne Xavier.“Yvonne, just in time! Everyone was talking about you, too.”“Finally, a young grown woman in the family!”“This has been the fifth time that a handsome young man proposed to you!”As he spoke, Adam took out a few photographs and set them on the tea table.“Come, come, come. Take a look! This is the prince of the Leo family, Chris Leo. This is the prince of the Surrey family, Luke Surrey. Here’s the prince of the Robbins family, Oscar Robbins. This one here is the prince of the Cloude family, Declan Cloude. And this here is Prince Finn Yates…”“All of them are handsome and capable young men. Whoever you pick, it’d be good for the family.”However, Yvonne didn’t even bat her eyes at the photos.Instead she headed to Sheldon and said quietly, “Grandfather, you should know that I won’t marry anyone.”Sheldon sighed. “How can I not understand how you feel? It’s just that, so many families came to propose. Even someone like me can’t rej
“But so what?”“Prince York doesn’t even look at you! You followed him for so many years, but you still haven’t made a name for yourself!”“Things are different now. Since Prince Leo took pity and turned his attention to you, you should cherish this opportunity!”“You should thank the heavens that he didn’t see you as some sort of vixen. How dare you still reject his proposal?!”“Are you that shameless?!”At Ivan’s words, the rest of the Xaviers nodded in approval.They looked at Yvonne Xavier as if she was a gold mine.If she agreed to marry Chris Leo, the benefits the Xaivers would enjoy would be far beyond anyone’s imagination.“Oh, Yvonne. It’s not that I have anything against you, but women need to take care of themselves…”“Let’s talk about Prince York who never left your mind. Didn’t he get rejected in front of a huge crowd while proposing to a stupid woman?”“But even when he was rejected, he never did consider you.”“Yvonne. Even if you don’t think anything of the f
Buckwood High School.Xynthia Zimmer’s head was hung low as she made hurried steps, as if she was fleeing from something.When she got to the entrance of the school, a few girls stood there, blocking her path.“Why are you running, Xynthia? You’re fast! You didn’t hook up with an old man for money now, did you?”“I couldn’t tell! You usually seemed like an obedient little girl, and you wouldn’t accept anyone’s confession. To make money this way, I can’t believe you’re such a loose girl!”“You can just tell us if you’re short on cash. We can relieve you of your stress. There’s no need to degrade yourself to this point!”These girls had a terrible relationship with Xynthia.Xynthia never paid any attention to the boys in her class, especially after the KTV affair. Only her brother-in-law was in her mind. It was the reason why she rejected quite a few boys that could be considered exceptional.Because of this, quite a few girls became terribly jealous of Xynthia.If they had a ch
Xynthia was not an idiot. She knew full well that once the recording spread, the rumors and slanders would never stop.“We have nothing against each other. Why are you doing this to me?!”Xynthia was perplexed.“Don’t you know that girls like you are no better than filthy street rats? Everyone should condemn you!”“Since you have a rich old man supporting you, you’re tarnishing the reputation the whole school! I’ll punish you in place of the school authorities. What other reason do I need?”Yelena Surrey shot Xynthia a look of disdain. She would not reveal her true intentions.However, it couldn’t be denied that she was enjoying the whole thing.Xynthia’s face darkened. She had no one to help her, and she couldn’t snatch the phone out of Selena’s hands.Agreeing to Yelena Surrey’s conditions was the equivalent of having a new leverage against herself.Once the recording was exposed, Xynthia would end up lonelier than before.What should she do?Xynthia subconsciously grabbed
Harvey did not start the engine when he and Xynthia entered the car. Instead he frowned at her.“Xynthia, tell me what’s going on. Why were the girls picking on you?”His question made Xynthia feel wronged.“Brother-In-Law, do you remember the KTV situation? I don’t really hang out with my classmates anymore after that.”“But this Zane guy keeps chasing after me. He confessed to me publicly quite a few times already, but I rejected him every single time.”“Yelena started to hate me because of that. I heard rumors saying she likes Zane.”Harvey massaged his eyebrows, speechless after listening to everything.It took him a while to recall who Zane Shaw was.‘Isn’t he the kid that I bumped into when I was taking Xynthia home from KTV?’‘And this Yelena kid…’ ‘What is this?’‘A soap opera between classmates?’“How did something so simple escalate to this point?”Harvey fell in deep thought. From what he saw Yelena did today, these highschoolers’ little drama did not have to g
The class teacher wore a firm expression. She knew that although Xynthia was a transfer student, Xynthia was an extremely hardworking and diligent pupil. She whole-heartedly opposed the idea of expelling Xynthia.“Principal! The situation was only a misunderstanding between the pupils. You mustn’t expel a good student because of something so minor!”Listening to the class teacher’s exclamation, Zane Shaw’s mother stood up furiously.“A misunderstanding? How could you call this a misunderstanding?!”“Zane is an outstanding student! I raised him with my own sweat and tears!”“It’s an honor both for him and us to have Lady Surrey look up to him!”“Even the parents can tell he’s fit for her!”“But then this wretched little tramp, Xynthia Zimmer, wanted to take all of the Shaw family’s money to climb up the social hierarchy!”“That’s why she wanted to destroy the two’s relationship!”“Bad students like her should be expelled!”Her logic was obviously skewed.A petty affair betwee
The accusation of Zane’s mother pushed the enchanting and alluring Miss Yuna into shivering with anger.Because of her beautiful eyes and sensual body along, with her kind heart, there had been gossip everywhere about her.But Miss Yuna was someone with good moral integrity. How could a woman like that be bought when she hadn’t even fallen in love yet?Miss Yuna could not hold in her anger anymore.“Mrs. Shaw, please watch your language!”“Stop spouting nonsense!”“If you don’t have any proof, I’ll sue you for slander!”“Sue me? Do it, then!”Zane’s mother was behaving incredibly shamelessly.“If you weren’t a loose woman, then why are you protecting that tramp Xynthia Zimmer?”“It’s all because of unclean teachers like you that students like my son would even have a chance to be born!”“How dare you sue me? Have you no shame?!”Miss Yuna was furious. She could pinpoint what mostly happened.The whole thing was just jealousy between students, no harm done.But Zane’s moth
“Who’s the president here?!”Harvey glared coldly at Zane’s vixen of a mother. He had seen too many women of her ilk, and could not be bothered by her kind.“I am! Who are you to barge in the school’s meeting room like this?!”The principal stood up and gowered at Harvey, full of discontent.“Have you at least investigated the situation thoroughly before you decided to expel Xynthia?” Harvey York demanded icily.“This situation only concerns the school staff. It has nothing to do with you!”The principal barked back disdainfully.‘Where did this young man come from? How dare he question me? What a joke!’“I’m a relative of hers. Of course it has something to do with me if she’s going to be expelled.”“Whoever slanders her in front of me will perish.”Harvey’s expression was as cold as the arctic. He did not appreciate a mere principal acting so pridefully in front of him.“Kid!”At this moment, Zane’s father stood. His body stank of seafood.He threw Harvey a contemptuous
"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
