Harvey squinted, trying to adjust his vision to the scorching sun. His lips were pressed tightly together, as if he was holding back something he wanted to say. Whitley's words still hung in the air, feeling as clear as the light reflecting off the road surface. There was such a strong confidence in her voice-an absolute conviction that seemed impossible to shake. Naturally, with a respected family background, alluring looks, and undeniable intelligence, Whitley always spoke as if the world was within her grasp.

A faint smile spread across Whitley's lips, her eyes sparkling in the reflected afternoon light. Harvey was still silent, and to Whitley, that was a clear sign. If the man's feelings had truly vanished, why didn't he argue immediately?

Her steps came closer, the afternoon breeze blowing her long hair. With a confident gesture, her slender fingers reached out, touching Harvey's hand that felt warm in the sunlight. “Harvey,” her voice sounded softer, almost a whisper amidst the

    “What's going on?”“What's going on over there?”Whispers began to echo through the crowd. Curious gazes were fixed on Whitley and Harvey, as if they were an interesting spectacle in the middle of a hot day.Whitley frowned, fine lines beginning to appear on her forehead. A sense of unease ran through her body as she realized more and more eyes were watching. Quickly, she stepped closer, her voice low, yet demanding.“Harvey!” she called softly, almost like an urgent whisper. “You should be doing me a favor right now. Do you want us to keep getting attention like this? It's embarrassing!”Her eyes bore into Harvey's intensely, the look both pleading and pressing. She inched closer, her voice sounding sharper. “Tell me quickly that we're actually husband and wife!”Harvey gave a small snort, almost a laugh that refused to leave his lips. With a casual gesture, he raised his head slightly, giving the impression of superiority without having to say it. The look in his eyes remained calm,

    A golf club was swung vigorously, creating a sharp swish in the air before hitting the ball with a clean thud. The ball shot up, piercing the blue sky before falling on the green expanse in the distance.The woman who hit it smiled with satisfaction. With a casual gesture, she took off her hat, letting her hair flow slightly in the wind. The thin sweat on her forehead glistened in the sunlight, and as she wiped it away with the back of her hand, the few men around could not hide their admiring gazes.Around him, the other players took turns swinging their sticks. Each blow produced a sharp thud, followed by a satisfied cheer or a disappointed murmur.“Look, I went farther!” one of the men exclaimed proudly, his chest puffed out as he pointed to his ball that went farther than the others.Some of his colleagues just chuckled softly, some glanced sarcastically before refocusing on their own shots.In the midst of the low noise, a man steps up slowly, almost silently. Harvey. His movemen

    Harvey raised his head, looking at Garry with icy eyes. His lips were drawn slightly to the side, not in a smile, but more like a barely perceptible hint of annoyance. “Do I know you?” he said flatly, as if the existence of the man in front of him was completely unimportant. Her voice was low, almost lazy, like someone who was forced to talk to a stranger at an unwanted time.Garry suddenly frowned, the line between his eyebrows hardening. His jaw tightened, while the air in his lungs boiled. “Hey, of course you know me!” he snapped, his voice slightly raised.He slipped one hand into his pants pocket, the movement relaxed, though there was tension in it. His lips curved in a mocking smile. “You're Whitley Smith's husband, aren't you?” he said, his tone now laden with mockery. “The trashy guy who always brings lunch boxes to Smith's corporate office.”She sighed dramatically, then shook her head slowly as if seeing something pathetic. “If I'm being honest, you really don't belong next

    Harvey raised an eyebrow, his expression flat as if he didn't understand Garry's accusation. "Why is this my fault?" he asked, his voice sounding lazy. "If you want to play golf, just play."He glanced at his watch. There were still ten minutes before his appointment time. Inwardly, she regretted coming too early. If he had known this, he would have spent his time elsewhere instead of listening to the useless babble of these people.Garry fingered his still throbbing head, his eyes blazing with suppressed anger. His breath was ragged, like coals ready to ignite a fire. He stared at Harvey with a vengeful glare, his lips curled in a dismissive smirk. "Harvey, you probably don't know because you're too poor," he said, his voice laden with mockery. "But I am the VIP of this place. If you won't obey me, I can just get you kicked out."Harvey didn't react. Only one eyebrow slightly raised, his expression remained calm, as if even the wind blowing was more interesting to him than Garry's r

    Garry clenched his fists, his breathing ragged. His eyes stared angrily at Harvey, as if he couldn't believe the man in front of him was so indifferent. “You're so shameless!” his voice trembled, not from fear, but from having his pride trampled on. ”How dare you talk to me like that! You're really looking for trouble!” Beside him, Gian was also affected. His face flushed, his eyes widened as if a fire had been ignited inside him. With quick steps, he approached Garry, his chin raised in an arrogant expression. “This is too much!” he growled. “Throw him out!” Garry couldn't contain his emotions anymore. His blood was boiling. He turned his head to the right, his eyes instantly searching for a figure who could help him. “Security!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the driving range. “There are people looking for trouble here!”Four well-built security men immediately surrounded Garry. Their faces were hard, jaws clenched as if ready to enforce the rules without compromise.

    Gian squinted, his head tilted slightly as if he was judging someone who had just said something ignorant. His jaw hardened, his lips pressed into a thin line of impatience."What a sassy mouth you have," he hissed, his tone low but sharp, like a knife ready to stab. "Who do you think you are, huh?"Next to him, Garry snorted softly, the corners of his lips pulled up in a sardonic grin. His gaze lingered on Harvey, full of contempt that he didn't even try to hide."Ah, I forgot," he said, his voice containing an obvious tone of mockery. "You're just a man living off your wife's money, Whitley Smith. You've always been a hitchhiker, dependent on his wealth." He chuckled, then looked at his friends as if he was sharing a cheap joke. "It's sad, isn't it?"A low chuckle rang out from their circle, each implying a veiled contempt. However, Harvey remained silent, his eyes calm, as if their ramblings were just a passing wind that didn't even deserve a response.Garry looked up slightly, his

    Garry and his friends exchanged glances, their brows furrowed at Lois' statement.Garry grinned, then casually put his hands in his pants pockets. He looked up slightly, as if to show his superiority. In a tone full of mockery, he gave a small chuckle before speaking, “You claim to own this place?”He clicked his tongue, his grin widening. “I thought you still had a bit of sanity. But apparently, you're also hallucinating like Harvey.” Garry chuckled dismissively. “No wonder he's such a loser.”His gaze shifted to Harvey, who remained seated calmly, not showing the slightest sign of being disturbed. The man's nonchalant attitude made Garry's anger flare up even more. The more he ignored him, the more he wanted to humiliate him.Lois looked at Garry with a flat expression, but there was firmness behind his eyes. He couldn't believe it - he had openly said he owned this place, yet he was still considered to be hallucinating. More than that, the haughty man in front of him dared to insul

    Lois stepped closer, his gesture a little stiff. His sharp eyes that were usually full of confidence now radiated anxiety. With one breath, he reached out to Harvey.Cold sweat began to seep down his temples. “Mr. Harvey...” His voice sounded quieter than usual, almost trembling. “I... I apologize for the inconvenience.”He swallowed, then smiled faintly, though there was clearly some nervousness there. “I really didn't expect you to be here so early.” Lois gave a small chuckle, trying to relax his tension. “I thought I was fast enough, but it turns out you arrived first.”His eyes traced Harvey's expression, looking for signs of whether he was angry or remaining his usual calm self.Harvey only shifted slightly in his seat, his movements calm and controlled. His eyes looked directly into Lois', unhurried, but deep enough to make the man in front of him hold his breath for a moment.“Forget about it,” he said softly, his voice steady without a hint of anger. His lips curved slightly.

    “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.

    A gentle smile was etched on the mother's face as her eyes caught Troy's figure. Without hesitation, she immediately spread her arms and hugged her son lovingly. “Oh, you've come, Troy,” she said, her voice sounding warm and full of pride.Meanwhile, Rebecca stepped closer with some hesitation. Her throat felt dry as she gulped. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the tremors in her chest, then bowed politely.“W-welcome, Father, Mother...” her voice was almost a whisper, trembling slightly.Her gaze remained downcast, but she could feel the coldness of the atmosphere surrounding her. There was no warm embrace like Troy had received, no loving welcome. Only a silence that left an uneasy feeling in his chest.Freddie Beats gave a small nod, his lips curving in a smile that seemed friendly at first glance. However, it was different with Samantha Beats-Rebecca's mother. The woman only gave a brief nod, her gaze sharp and full of judgment.Her eyes followed Rebecca from head to toe, no

    The roar of the engine split the silence. In an instant, a black Mercedes hurtled towards them and stopped with perfect precision in front of Harvey and Rebecca.Rebecca blinked. “Another luxury car?” Even under these circumstances, Rebecca was still surprised to see such an expensive vehicle.The door opened from the inside. A well-built man, dressed in a neat black suit, came out with steady steps. His eyes widened when he saw Harvey, then his expression quickly turned stiff.“Gen-” His words trailed off, his breathing slightly labored. At first glance, her face looked tense, as if she was about to say something she shouldn't.Harvey looked at him coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. The man finally lowered his head slightly. “Master Harvey,” he corrected quickly, his voice more controlled.Joseph - as Harvey called him - stepped closer, his jaw hardening slightly. However, before he could ask, Harvey had already spoken. “I had an accident, Joseph.”His tone remained steady. Calm. But

    Rebecca was getting more and more frantic. Her hands gripped the steering wheel rigidly, while her foot kept pressing the brake pedal - repeatedly - to no avail. The car kept going, faster and faster, swooping sharply down the steep descent.Her heart was pounding so hard it could be felt in her ears. Her eyes searched wildly for a solution, but everything seemed impossible.“No... No!” her voice trembled, almost choking on her own breath.Ahead, a sharp bend was approaching. The car's headlights shone down on the knee-high road divider, beyond which yawned a chasm blackened in the night.Rebecca tried to turn the steering wheel to the left, hoping to reduce speed by slipping into the next lane, but the car just swerved slightly. The rear tires almost lost traction.A chill ran through her body, like ice creeping along her spine. Time seemed to slow down, every second going by so slowly as the distance to the corner dwindled.“I have to... have to do something!” Her breathing was ragg

    Harvey raised one eyebrow, his eyes narrowed, trying to understand the situation. The woman's face in front of him looked pale, her panic clearly reflected in the way she squeezed the hem of her skirt. Her lower lip was slightly bitten, while her gaze was restless, reluctant to meet Harvey's eyes directly.A small sigh escaped her lips. As if gathering courage, she slowly glanced at Harvey. “I'm sorry, sir...” her voice sounded hesitant, almost a whisper. “I... accidentally bumped into your car.”Her eyes lowered again, her body tensed slightly, waiting for Harvey's reaction. Confusion was evident in her eyes.Harvey sighed softly before tilting his head, his eyes tracing the back of his car. The parking lot lights reflected off the now slightly dented body surface, faint scuff lines visible around the impact. It wasn't anything severe.He turned his gaze back to the woman in front of him. Harvey's gaze remained calm, as if the damage was no big deal. His lips curled slightly before h
