With slow but firm movements, Harvey glanced at Vania who was still holding up her smartphone. He took a good look at it, as it was still recording this incident. She was literally waiting for Harvey to drop his face at her feet.

Harvey then raised his hand casually, then turned to the bartender. His gaze was relaxed and confident. As if nothing could stop him. “Bartender, bring us three bottles of the most expensive drink,” Harvey said casually.

Vania's eyes widened, her blood seemed to rise and stop in her neck. Her breathing became labored as if the air was stifling her. She gulped down her saliva. “You're crazy, aren't you? What were you thinking? You even ordered three bottles of that drink! Chris, he's not using his brain properly. Now do you know why Whitley doesn't like this guy? Because he does not have brain at all!”

Chris slammed his hand on the table, he glared at Harvey as he gulped. “Hey! Didn't you hear me? The price is seven million dollars. Not seven dollars! Use your

    Vania jerked back, her body almost losing its balance as a loud noise pierced the air, accompanied by broken glass bottles scattering around her feet. Her scream was shrill, breaking the silence. The acrid smell of wine wafted over her, mixing with the panic that suddenly overcame her.Her eyes widened at the sight of the red puddle spilling out on the floor, mixing with the shimmering glass. Chris' body drooped on the floor, his face grimacing in pain as he held the side of his body that was probably injured.Vania's heart was racing, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. Without thinking, she crouched down beside Chris, her hands shaking as she tried to pull him to his feet. “Chris! Are you okay?” her voice trembled, anxiety mixed with fear.Chris's eyes were glued to the four bottles shattered to pieces on the floor, a pool of luxurious crimson liquid spreading like an unforgivable sin stain. The figure of 35 million dollars instantly flashed through his mind, making his head f

    Vania's scream echoed, breaking the atmosphere of the bar. Her face was instantly pale, as if her blood had receded to her feet. She staggered backwards, her hands tightly clutching her small bag, while her eyes alternately glanced at Harvey and Chris. Occasionally, she closed her eyes as if she couldn't see what was in front of her.Chris writhed on the floor, his body trembling from the pain radiating from the hand that was now bent at an unnatural angle. His breathing was short, and his face was flushed, not with anger anymore, but the pain that pierced every nerve. She tried to sit up, but her head throbbed violently, making her world spin.Trembling, Vania raised her hand, pointing at Harvey who had just stood up in a cold manner. Tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes, but not from sadness-more from fear mixed with anger. “Y-you! You bastard!” her voice trembled at first before screeching with emotion. “You bastard! What the hell are you doing? You've made a big mista

    Chris gawked as his forehead furrowed into a crease. Doubt seemed to hang in the air, making Chris freeze. A moment later he shook his head with a hesitant grin. "No, no, Uncle Chad. Uncle Chad must have made a mistake," Chris said, breathing heavily. His eyes glanced sharply at Harvey, narrowing his eyes slightly as he found this atmosphere quite strange. "There's no way Harvey is the one who helped you, right?"In that atmosphere, Harvey only smiled faintly. It was so thin that a mysterious air seemed to haunt the room. Harvey's presence seemed solid even though Chris didn't know what wall he was on.Chris' mind drifted to remembering that his uncle had once told him that his uncle had saved his life when he was robbed by an unknown person. The robber had a gun, and Chad almost lost his life. However, a young man came and helped Chad. The man beat the robber and then helped Chad. Chad felt he owed the man his life. He promised to always remember him and would help him if he ever got

    Chad clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His breath caught in his throat, and his eyes, which now seemed to tremble, looked at Chris as if trying to penetrate his mind. “You...” His voice broke, sounding hoarse as if he was holding back a lump of anger in his chest. “You destroyed all the bottles of Angel's Ale?”The room seemed to freeze. The noise from the bar faded away, leaving only the tension between them. Chris fell silent, his back stiffening like a wall about to collapse. He tried to find words, but his tongue was tongue-tied.“Answer!” Chad rebuked in a booming voice. The echo of his snarl swept through the bar, making everyone there hold their breath. His face, with its wrinkles of age, now radiated a disappointment that could not be hidden.Chris looked down, his gaze fixed on the floor sticky with spilled drinks. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if the burden hanging in

    Although Chris's head was bent, his body was still rigid, as if he was holding back something he had yet to say. Chris's forehead wrinkled, a sign of suppressed resistance. For a moment, he opened his mouth, but only a mumble came out, “How can someone like that-” His words were cut short when a hand flew over and tapped him lightly on the back of the head.Chad stood up straight, eyes narrowed sharply at Chris. There was no need for words, his gaze was enough to convey searing anger. “Don't you dwell on something that will trouble you later!”Chris bowed his head deeper, his mouth tight, as if afraid to let the air out. His eyes were fixed on the floor, right in front of Harvey's feet. His heart pounded, his body trembled - something felt wrong, but he couldn't decipher it. His hands began to droop, dizziness spread slowly, making all thoughts locked in the darkness.Chad grunted as he looked at Harvey. His gaze became uncomfortable on Harvey, after all, Harvey should have gotten goo

    In the evening, Harvey walked quietly after conducting business at a hotel together with Neuron. With sure steps he headed for the elevator to the parking lot.After pressing the button for the basement floor, he held his chin in thought for a moment. After he talked a lot with Neuron, it turned out that Neuron had not lost his genius even after a long separation with Harvey. His logical and sharp way of thinking made Harvey like him. Although sometimes he was manipulative for his own pleasure.The incident at Chad's bar wouldn't have been as suspenseful if Harvey had taken over, but Neuron's manipulation makes the incident more drama. And more surprisingly, the factor of him making Harvey's position strong in front of Chris without making Neuron suspicious.Harvey exhaled with a faint smile. “Psycho-”When Harvey said the word “psycho”, the elevator doors suddenly opened. In front of the elevator stood a woman with a frown. It seemed like she had heard something Harvey had said. With

    Harvey raised one eyebrow slowly, a small movement that felt like a sharp warning. His lips formed a thin line, as if every word that would come out had to be chosen carefully. He stared at the woman with sharp piercing eyes, like a gust of cold wind hitting the skin. The air felt heavy, making the woman jerk back half a step.“Excuse me?” he said in a low but stressful tone, as if each syllable contained a hidden threat. “I don't know who you are and your words are too harsh.”Harvey turned his face away, his gaze falling on the flashing digital numbers near the elevator button. He stood straight, barely moving, with a flat expression that left no room for pleasantries. His breathing remained regular, as if whatever was happening around him was none of his business.“I don't have time to watch movies,” he said quietly, yet coldly, like a blade of ice against skin.On the other hand, Emma felt the nape of her neck crawl. Something about the man's voice made her heart beat faster than

    “Killian, you're too slow!”Choi sighed loudly, glaring at his young companion who was hobbling around carrying a tool bag. His face looked impatient, one hand on his waist, while his head tilted to the side, staring at Killian as if the man had just made a fatal mistake. “Hurry up! The people in the elevator must be panicking!”Killian, a young technician who had only been on the job for ten days, broke into an awkward little trot. His breathing was slightly labored, and cold sweat began to break out on his temples. Arriving in front of Choi, he grinned hesitantly, his fingers scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, Mr. Choi. I went to the restroom first.”Choi closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a long breath like a tired parent dealing with a wayward child. With a resigned expression, he just shook his head lightly. “Never mind, hurry up! The elevator is on the fourth floor. If they panic, we'll get sprayed first.”The two of them broke into a small run towards the elevator

    The music pounded, filling the air with a bass thump that echoed off the walls of the club. The lights flickered, occasionally reflecting red and blue on Harvey's unwavering face. While the people around him laughed and danced, he stared at the black watch on his wrist with a calm expression. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The second hand seemed to slow down, out of sync with the time he felt. With a casual gesture, she turned the small knob on the side of the watch, fixing it.From the corner of her eye, she caught the shadow of someone approaching. The scent of sweet perfume mixed with alcohol touched his nose before the figure actually sat down next to him. A woman in red, her dress tightly molded to her curves, while her slender fingers clutched a glass of wine. She rested one elbow on the table, her body leaning slightly towards Harvey.The woman's lips curved in a seductive smile. “Hello, handsome,” her voice was soft, almost a whisper amidst the noise.

    In her quiet home, Whitley sat with her head bowed, her fingers squeezing her forehead as if hoping to drown out the pain that continued to throb in her temples. Her breathing was heavy, labored. The room felt even more cramped than usual, like the walls were closing in, pressing against her chest.Fuck...,” she swore softly, almost as a hiss.The painkillers she had swallowed earlier gave no relief. The pain remained lodged, settling in her bones, creeping like a poison that refused to leave. Every second felt like another ordeal added on top of the existing burden. Her life was like a cruel game that gave her no pause to breathe.In the midst of her downfall, one name came back to haunt her mind-Harvey. Her ex-husband was so good, too good. She always gave in to her every whim, as if the world belonged to Whitley alone. But now? Harvey's life seemed better without her, while she herself was plunged into a seemingly endless suffering.her fingers trembled, wanting to reach for a bott

    “Don't think I won't avenge this, Rebecca! I'll come for you when you're completely asleep in your sleep! Then I'll strangle you!” screeched Troy as the police dragged him away. His voice was hateful, echoing throughout the room.Rebecca froze. Her hands trembled, her fingers felt cold and stiff. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her rumbling chest. Slowly, her eyelids closed, holding back something churning inside her.As her lips moved, her voice sounded almost like a whisper-fragile, but still trying to be firm. “Finally... I did it.”The air around her felt heavier, but somehow, for the first time, the weight on her chest began to feel a little lighter.Kendall stepped closer, his expression hardening. Her forehead was furrowed, reflecting suppressed anxiety. “Miss Rebecca, I didn't expect this matter to be this serious.” His voice was low, yet firm. “You should have contacted me from the start. Your life was in danger, Miss. It is fortunate that you are still safe.”Rebecca

    In the midst of the growing chaos, Rebecca reached into her pocket with a swift movement, pulled out her cell phone and immediately typed in the number she had memorized by heart. Her fingers trembled slightly, but her expression remained as firm as steel. The lines on his forehead tightened, indicating the tension he felt.“Hello,” her voice was flat yet sharp, cutting through the surrounding noise. “You're near the meeting building, right? Come here right now. Call the police and forensics.”Without waiting for an answer, she hung up the phone with one decisive jerk. Her gaze swept the room, meeting the eyes staring at her-some surprised, others wary. Most piercing, however, was her mother's gaze.Samantha stood rigid, her face hardened, eyes bulging like a hawk about to tear into its prey. Her breath hitched before she finally stepped forward, her index finger pointed at Rebecca.“You!” her voice was shrill, filled with seething rage. ”You even dare to act this shamefully! Do you w

    Troy gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes narrowed, full of turbulent doubts. His fingers trembled slightly, as if there was an invisible inner battle. However, in just a matter of seconds, his jaw clenched tightly, and with a sudden movement he slammed the bottle down.The bottle shattered on the floor. The shards bounced in all directions, while the liquid inside seeped onto the cold marble surface. The room was suddenly silent. All eyes were on Troy.The man's chest rose and fell, his expression turning wild. The muscles on his forehead tightened, his jaw locked, and his eyes burned with unstoppable rage.Troy turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his voice full of near explosive anger. "Why would I follow your words?" he hissed in a contemptuous tone. "You're just a stranger! How dare you order a Beats family member around like this?"He stepped forward slightly, as if to emphasize his presence. "You think I'm your servant?" he continued, his eyes flashing like a cornered animal.

    Freddie's eyes widened. He turned quickly to Rebecca, as if he had just seen his daughter in a different light. “Car accident?”Rebecca didn't answer right away. She remained silent, her jaw slightly set. Her gaze fell to the floor, as if she was sorting out the words, or perhaps swallowing back something she was reluctant to say.Harvey nodded slowly, his expression remaining cold. “The brake cable was cut.”Instantly, the air in the room tightened. Freddie was speechless. His mind was racing, trying to put together the pieces that had just been thrown in front of him. His gaze fell back on Rebecca-the girl's slightly damaged-looking clothes, the faint scratches on her arms and knees, and her being over an hour late. It all made sense now.Freddie's throat felt dry. His chest was rising and falling with his irregular breathing. This was no longer just conjecture. This was reality that had just slapped him hard.Freddie took a deep breath, trying to calm his uncontrollably beating hea

    “What the-” Troy stopped. His words hung in the air, swallowed by something bigger-fear. His heart was beating wildly, so hard it felt like it was pounding his chest from the inside. Cold sweat began to run down his temples, while his eyes widened, full of shock that he tried to hide.Harvey just glanced at her, sharp and cold. It pierced straight through him, as if skinning him without a word being said. Troy swallowed, then fell silent.Calmly, Harvey averted his gaze. Now, his eyes were on Freddie who was still wide-eyed in confusion. The man's jaw was set, but his troubled eyes couldn't lie-he was trying to digest what had just happened.Harvey finally spoke. His voice was flat, but filled with undeniable certainty. “Someone wants to get rid of Rebecca.” He glanced briefly at the girl, then back at Freddie with eyes as sharp as swords. “And afterwards, take your property, Mr. Freddie Beats.”The room felt increasingly tense. No one dared to make a sound. Only the sound of bated br

    Rebecca felt a strong urge from inside her body-like something was urging her out. Her throat burned, her stomach queasy. Her whole body shook violently before finally, once again, a dark red liquid gushed from her lips. Blood. A lot of it.Her body jerked as her breath caught, as if her lungs were desperately trying to resist the poison eating away at them. Cold sweat ran down his temples, while trembling hands gripped her aching chest.Freddie bolted upright from his chair, his chair sliding roughly against the floor. His eyes widened, his breathing ragged. “Why is there so much blood?” his voice was full of shock, almost panic. For the first time, her indifference began to crack.Behind her tense expression, Samantha's mind danced in contentment. Her lips may have remained sealed, but in her mind, a triumphant smile was already expanding. “Good...”Her gaze drifted towards the sprawled Rebecca, her body still twitching weakly. Blood pooled on the floor, coloring the wood a dusky re

    “Rebecca!” Freddie bolted to his feet. His chair shifted roughly, creaking against the floor. His chest rose and fell, as if something was squeezing his heart.However, before he could take a step closer, the sound of clinking glasses stopped him in his tracks. Samantha, casually, raised the wine glass to her lips. The look in her eyes was calm, almost lazy.“Ah, darling...” Her tone was light, almost like she was discussing the weather. “There's no need to be so excited.” She casts a quick glance at Rebecca who is drooping in Harvey's arms, then lets out a long sigh, as if bored. “You know she likes to stir up trouble just to get your attention.”Samantha tilted her head slightly, her fingers twirling the glass gracefully. “This time, maybe he's just pretending to be poisoned to get you worried.” A drop of wine remained on her lips, but her thin smile did not waver in the slightest.Troy cut into his steak casually, the knife gliding smoothly through the still-red meat in the center.
