Chapter 2
Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly.

The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir.

But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.

The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since.

“Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”

As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone.

“Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”

“Now, the company’s funding has been cut off and we need your help immediately. Otherwise, our family will be ruined!”

Harvey was confused.

He was stunned for a short while. During that year, he did invest tens of millions of dollars on that gold mine. It was also the reason why the Yorks claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds, and he was disowned consequently.

It had not even been three years, and they found out that that gold mine was loaded with a substantial amount of gold, and hence tremendously increasing it’s stock price too. “WTF, is that real?!”

The next moment, Harvey swiftly fished out a black bank card faster than ever.

That black card had been abandoned for three years. It was a tool which could signify one’s prestige all over the world. It was said that whoever owned that card, would have all their requests granted no matter where they were.

He soon contacted the 24-hour customer service hotline on the card. He heard a sweet female voice at the other end of the phone. “Dear Mr. York, good day. May I know if there’s anything I can help you with?”

“Please help me to check the balance in my account!”

“No problem. Please hold on for a moment,” she said politely. The next moment, her voice clearly faltered and she sounded shocked. “Mr. York… the balance in your account is so tremendous that it’s been locked away for safety purposes. I couldn’t check for you given my position. I’ll go and apply for it now. May I call you back in a short while?”

“No problem.” Harvey hung up at once.

‘The amount of money is so huge that the account is locked away for safety purposes.’

He burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, he casually took tens of millions of dollars and invested in that just for fun. He never thought that that kind of investment could provide him with such a huge surprise. Harvey did not even know how much money he owned now.

***

Harvey walked home at a leisurely pace. When he reached home, Mandy had long driven home by then.

On the other hand, there were two other ladies in the living room. From afar, he could see that one of them was charming and sexy while the other was cute and lovely. Furthermore, Mandy was exceptionally beautiful and elegant.

It was Mandy and her two best friends. The sexy lady was called Cecilia Zachary while the cute lady was called Angel Quinn.

The three of them ignored Harvey as he entered the living room.

Angel who sat at the side sighed at that moment. She then said, “Mandy, let’s talk about serious matters. I heard that your company is having some issues?”

Mandy rubbed her temples. She replied, “Yes. A few days ago, my company faced some funding issues. Now we’re in need of five million dollars. If I don't get the money soon, I’m afraid that my company…”

Angel sighed and said, “But Mandy, it’s not easy to obtain five million dollars in such a short time…”

The sexy lady—Cecilia who sat beside them nodded slightly too.

Mandy looked at their responses and realized that they were of no help to her. When she saw Harvey standing there, she became quite flustered. She could not help but glaring at him. She scolded, “Harvey, what the f^ck are you doing here? Can you please just get f^ck out of my way! Go and do the laundry! Remember to hand wash them with warm water. If their colors fade, I’ll make sure you sleep in the hallway tonight!”

He was about to go and wash the clothes obediently when his phone suddenly rang. Surprisingly, it was a call from the 24-hour customer service of the black card.

Harvey answered the call and he heard the sweet lady’s voice again. “Dear Mr. York, after looking into it, we found that your entire property is held in an offshore account. If we dig deeper into it, we might breach your privacy. We suggest that you give us a call when you’re free. Then we’ll send someone to invite you to the headquarters of Niumhi immediately, so that you can check the account balance yourself. Do you agree to that?”

Harvey muttered. “Alright, but why do I have to get into so much trouble just to check the balance of an offshore account?”

As he said that, he hung up the phone.

“Mandy, your husband is indeed amusing.” Angel could not help but burst into laughter. “He wants to check the balance of his offshore account. Did he watch a lot of TV shows? Does he even know what an offshore account is?”

Hearing that, Mandy smiled too. She then said, “He might have overheard that when I was talking on the phone with Dad a few days ago. Does he assume that all bank accounts are called offshore accounts? But I always give him a hundred dollars as his pocket money every day. I wonder he should have saved quite a lot of money since it's been three years.”

“Mandy, you have a good pet with you. He’s quite thrifty!” Cecilia smiled faintly. In fact, they could not help but be amused.

At that moment, Harvey became quite anxious and rushed towards Mandy. He said to his wife seriously, “Dear, is your company in need of five million dollars? Why don’t… you let me help you resolve that?”

Cecilia burst into a roar of laughter. She was indeed a sexy woman, so when she moved around vigorously, she seemed particularly energetic and charming. At that moment, she threw a glance at Harvey and said, “Harvey, do you even know how much five million dollars is? Don’t you mix it up with five hundred dollars. Even if you saved your 100 dollars pocket money everyday, how could you even be able to have five millions dollars?”

Harvey sneered. “What if I can?”

Cecilia scoffed. “If you’re able to take out five millions dollars, I’ll kneel down in front of you and address you as my dad!” She burst into laughter.

“Is that so?” Harvey smiled. He then said meaningfully, “Then please remember what you said. Don’t you break your promise.”

Mandy rubbed her temple beside them. She then waved her hand and said, “That’s more than enough. Stop daydreaming here. It’s really embarrassing.”

Harvey said lightly, “Fine.” He did not dare to defend himself.

***

That night, Harvey still slept in the study room. He did not quite believe that sudden good news, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

“This is indeed not a dream!” Harvey could not help but pat his face slightly. “I’ll need to go to the bank tomorrow to check just how much money I own.”

He had a restless night. The next day, Harvey pushed his electric bike out early in the morning. Surprisingly, he found that someone had thrown a battery there for him. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that it was Mandy who had done that. The others from the Zimmers were not so kind as to do such a thing.

After installing the battery, Harvey prepared to go to the bank.

“Harvey, where the hell are you going early in the morning?” At the balcony on the third floor, he saw a young lady who was wearing a set of cute pyjamas. Her appearance resembled Mandy. At that moment, she was staring at Harvey in an unruly manner. It was Xynthia.

“Sister, good morning.” Harvey nodded and greeted her politely.

“Who is your sister? How could my sister marry such a useless person like you? If it was me, I would have strangled you to death at the night of the wedding!”

Xynthia appeared cold. She casually threw a document folder down to him. “My sister forgot to take this document for her meeting. Send it to her. If you’re late, you do know what will happen to you!”

Undeniably, although Xynthia was only an unruly senior in high school, she still inherited the excellent genes from the Zimmers. She had a slim waist with slender legs. She was indeed quite charming.

Harvey picked up the document folder from the ground in a daze. Being married to Mandy for three years now, she had never allowed him to go and meet her at the company for fear that she might be embarrassed by him. Now she asked him to send her the document. Was it a dream?

“Get lost immediately!” Seeing that Harvey was in a daze, Xynthia was infuriated. The others’ brother-in-laws were tall and handsome. Some of them were even gentle and elegant. But why was her brother-in-law such a cowardly good-for-nothing? She could not even bear to look at him.

Further, he was unwilling to agree to the divorce. Who did he think he was?,

    Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough.

I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars.

In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich. At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now. Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…” “Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush

Everyone looked over when the door opened. “Isn’t this the class monitor? The class monitor has also become a successful person too! So handsome!” Someone heckled. Indeed, Howard was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes, with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.Soon, someone saw Harvey who was walking in behind Howard. Although the suit did not fit him well, it was still an exquisite, high-end, and a famous brand.A classmate saw this and smiled. “Harvey, you seem to be doing well too.

    Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”“Hurry up and get out!

Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering.

If he signed the papers today, the company would belong to him.Harvey was quite concerned about this matter. After all, he bought the company with ten billion dollars. That was why he had rushed here early in the morning without eating any breakfast.Harvey was speechless when he reached the company. No wonder it was the most prosperous area in Niumhi. There were luxury cars everywhere. He rode on his electric bike here. If he just parked his bike casually, it would probably be carried away later.He took a circle around the company and finally found a parking space at the gate.

A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she

    Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip

    "I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia

    "Alright, let's put that aside for now," Harvey said, ending the topic. "If word got out, we might force Dan to do everything he can to kill me."He shrugged. "Let's have some proper food now. Why hasn't the main dish been served yet? Didn't you order extra just now?" Harvey glanced at Alexei.Alexei chuckled. "Don’t worry about it, Big Bro. I ordered extra and all their signature dishes."He purposely showed Harvey the menu for the signature dishes. Looking at the number of zeroes behind the items, Harvey was speechless. It was just a meal… It didn't need to cost them thousands.Alexei chuckled again. "Don't worry about paying. I'll be straight with you. This restaurant is owned by Belladonna Cult, so Senior Vaida is its owner. She'll sign the bill off later, so we don't have to pay. Don't sweat it. After this, we'll come here more frequently for meals and drinks. We might not be able to go to the other places, but this place is fine, right?"Alexei's expression was one of

    “According to the rules of Belladonna Cult, everything in the Belladonna Cult will go to big bro Harvey after you get married to him.

At the very least, they shouldn't confront Dan head-on now. Otherwise, none of them could afford to bear the consequences.Harvey looked at the two of them, speechless. What were they talking about? Why were they talking about marrying him? They had to be joking about him marrying Vaida, right?Vaida was indeed quite beautiful and had a curvaceous figure, but they didn't have much feelings for each other. There was no reason for them to get married. Anyway, this was not a good time to meet with Dan.Harvey sat up straight and said to Vaida softly. "I appreciate it, Vaida.

    "Harvey, I don't think you should go to your training hall late unless absolutely necessary. I believe Sverker and Ghostface will definitely come attack you. Even if you must go, let me know in advance. I'll have someone from Belladonna Cult accompany you," Vaida said seriously.It was obvious that she didn't spend her days idly after she came back. She had already eliminated certain elements within the Belladonna cult and regained some control over the cult.Harvey simply smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. I can handle it myself.""That's right, Senior Vaida! He's one of the top elites in the world!" Alexei said almost in a mumble as he stuffed a sticky date pudding into his mouth.

    Hearing that, Neve was well aware of Clarion's frustration.

For some reason, Neve felt that forcing Clarion in such a manner might not be beneficial."Alright, Clarion. We're all adults here," Poisonless said with a smile, trying to ease the tension.

Secondly, it's clear that Harvey York is the one who has offended Sky Plane and you're simply taking the fall for him.
