“There's the loser!” Valencia pointed at Harvey who had just come out of the store.

Harvey came out holding his cell phone to his ear. He walked slowly and calmly. Being so focused, he didn't really care about the trivial things around him. He finally stops when Whitley and Valencia stand in front of Harvey with their arrogance.

The two women look down on Harvey and fold their arms across their chest. Harvey hangs up the phone.

Whitley clucked. “What cheap tricks do you use to fool the people at the store? You're always up to something annoying.”

Being forcibly evicted by the most elite jewelry store had certainly hurt Whitley's pride as well as Valencia's. What would the world say if everyone knew that they were expelled from here? Of course they would lose face. Therefore, they deliberately wait for Harvey outside to restore their pride and prove that Harvey can't do things as he pleases. Whitley and Valencia were going to show Harvey who was boss.

Valencia raised one eyebrow. “Did you do it to get back with Whitley?”

Whitley spat under her breath. She wanted to picture how humiliated she would be if what Valencia said actually happened. “I don't want to imagine it. It wouldn't happen even in a dream. Besides, I have a better man now. Andreas Brown is the perfect man for me.”

Valencia smiled lightly at Harvey. “Andreas Brown. Ah... there's no way you can beat him, Harvey. You don't stand a chance.”

Whitley smiled dismissively. “Huh? Even Andreas's big toe is worth more than this loser. Andreas is a really great guy. He has a big company, a prominent family, and a handsome face, too.”

Whitley glanced at Harvey. “Huh, look at you, Harvey. You have nothing to be proud of. With you out of my life, I've let the most shameful thing about me go. You are nothing more than a cockroach to me, Harvey! You deserve to be crushed in a trash can!”

Valencia snorted dismissively. “You didn't even contribute anything to Whitley's life. Know your place, you have no place in the heart or mind of a woman as beautiful and established as Whitley.”

Whitley shook her head. “Of course there won't be. In the three years I've been married to this man, all he's done is stay at home and do useless things. He's like a parasite living in my house. I've wanted to throw this parasite out of the house for so long!”

Unexpectedly, that was exactly what Whitley thought about Harvey all along. Harvey had thrown away his pride for 3 years and tried to be a different person just for Whitley. Harvey had tried to be a good person. He didn't even retaliate when he was treated as a slave by the Smith family members. Is this how Whitley responded? Treating Harvey as a parasite, when this woman probably didn't deserve anyone's pity.

Whitley chuckled again when she saw the door of the jewelry store. Her heartache had not gone away when she was forced out of the store because of Harvey. “For 3 years I endured the shame of having a completely useless husband. It's not fun having a trashy husband. Just when I was free of him and wanted to indulge myself in buying jewelry, I was humiliated by you again, Harvey.”

Whitley glared at Harvey. “Where do you think I got the ability to buy jewelry from, huh? I worked hard to bring the Smith family's, Demotion Company into the fold. I've made great progress over the years. It's also because of my partnership with Andreas that I have the money to buy jewelry. Think about it, Harvey, you can't even give me anything but trouble.”

Harvey remained calm despite the many insults that had come out of these two people's mouths for him. There was no reason to be upset. “Don't you know who helped you achieve everything? It was me.”

Whitley suddenly laughed at that. “You? What can you do? You've been lazing around at home and all you've done is cook food that doesn't taste good at all. For all you know, I've been throwing that food away! You only embarrass me when you show up at the office.”

It felt like something was stabbing Harvey in the heart when he heard that. Whitley's words reminded him of the time he was humiliated in front of the Smith family. However, Harvey suppressed it and remained calm. “If your grandfather were alive, he would have slapped you.”

With that little sentence, Whitley's face immediately turned red. “Stop talking about my grandfather! He caught a crazy disease in his head before he died! That’s why he asked me to marry a trash like you!”

Harvey did not expect Whitley to say such things about his grandfather. This woman really had a very shallow brain.

She angrily pointed at the jewelry store. “You'll see, I'll destroy this place someday! I'll level it to the ground. My man could do such a thing!”

Harvey gave a small smile. “You can't do that.”

Whitley glanced over with a frivolous smile. “Of course I can do it. Andreas has more wealth than you can imagine, Harvey. Getting this savage's shop destroyed is a piece of cake. Can you imagine if he destroyed you? You're even just like a pebble that was accidentally kicked by him.”

Valencia burst out laughing. Whitley's analogy was absolutely hilarious to her.

Harvey raised one eyebrow. It was very amused to hear Whitley glorify the man. “Don't you know what happened to Andreas Brown?”

Whitley snorted. She cocked her head proudly. To her, a man like Harvey would be destroyed in an instant. And Whitley couldn't wait for that.

Harvey calmly stepped up until they were close enough. Harvey looked at Whitley with calm eyes. “Andreas will go bankrupt and he'll go to jail.”

Whitley laughed. “Look how confident you were when you told that joke. The one going to jail is you, Harvey. Your demon hands have beaten him up and you'll rot in jail for it.”

Harvey gave Whitley a very cold stare. In fact, for some reason, Whitley felt that her gaze was so piercing that his chest felt tight. Slowly, Harvey turned around and walked away from the two women.

Whitley was transfixed there. It was a sensation she had never felt before when she talked to Harvey. That loser had previously looked so weak and deserving of torture, but that look just now felt so powerful that it made his breathing stop for a moment.

Whitley shook her head. “Damn, you're making this up!”

A moment later, a black BMW suddenly pulled up beside them. Whitley and Valencia were stunned at how nice the car looked.

Valencia gulped. “Whitley! Isn't that a BMW type-RK? That's the newest one! It was just released last month. The price can reach 2 million dollars. I heard that there are only two of those cars in the world.”

Whitley was wide-eyed. “Really? Who's the owner?”

Valencia shook her head. “I don't know. But that person must be very rich! If that person were my husband, then I would take him for a walk around the city. I'm sure everyone would envy me!”

Whitley and Valencia were transfixed waiting to see who got out of the car. It turned out to be a handsome man in a white shirt covered by a black tuxedo. Of course this set Whitley and Valencia's hearts racing.

However, the unexpected happened. The man approached and bowed before Harvey. “I have come to fetch you, Master Harvey. Please come in.”

The man opened the back door of the car and let Harvey in. As Harvey entered the car, his eyes glanced at Whitley and Harvey could see the frown on her forehead. Her mouth was unexpected until her chin dropped. Harvey knew when Whitley made that face, she was in shock.

    “What the hell is he? So annoying!” Whitley snorted while averting her gaze.Valencia herself was still stunned by the incident. Her head was having a hard time processing what she had just seen. In her mind, she kept wondering. “Harvey? Harvey Wilder? He drove that expensive and rare car?”Until the car pulled away, Valencia's eyes were still glued to the BMW. She swallowed. “Whitley, you saw that, right? Harvey is riding in that car.”Whitley immediately glanced sarcastically at the woman next to him. “Valencia, he's a poor man! He's also very useless and annoying. Don't ever mention that name in front of me again. Remember, he got us kicked out of this jewelry store.”Valencia immediately realized that. The look on her face instantly changed. “I almost forgot about him. He's a bastard!”Whitley sighed. “Ah, never mind! Thinking about that guy makes me want to throw up. There's no point in thinking about that bastard.”Valencia let out a long breath. Today's plan to go shopping was

    “Help! Help!” A man shouted loudly while holding his friend's hand. It was Jordan who held Harvey's hand.He brought Harvey to the Emergency Unit of the hospital they had built. It was still untidy, so there were not only doctors and nurses, but also some other workers. Who were preparing things.Suddenly, the people there were surprised by the arrival of the two people. Moreover, the blood from Harvey's hand continued to drip on the floor.Jordan shouted again, making a scene. “Help! My friend is hurt! The blood won't stop. Is there a doctor here?”Seeing an injured and pale-faced person, several nurses and doctors approached Jordan and Harvey. One of the doctors looked on in panic. “What's going on? Why is someone injured?”Jordan held the doctor's hand. “You're a doctor, right? Hurry up and help my friend. He's hurt badly!”Jordan was pleading and panicking. Even his hands were shaking and he was breaking out in cold sweat. His demeanor was as convincing as one who had lost hope.T

    Doctor Aurelia glared. For a moment her eyes were glued to Harvey. However, a moment later she began to frown and her lips pulled back.She began to laugh amusedly after hearing what Harvey had just said. “Your joke is hilarious. What kind of person cuts his own hand like that? That wound is so deep, you could even lose your hand forever.”Although Doctor Aurelia laughed like that, Harvey did not laugh along with her. He just watched Doctor Aurelia without saying a single word. Until finally Doctor Aurelia turned to him. The laughter on the young doctor's lips began to fade.Harvey looked directly into Doctor Aurelia's eyes calmly. It was as if he was waiting to be heard. “I'm not joking.”Suddenly Doctor Aurelia furrowed her brows. She glared in disbelief at what she had just heard. “Are you out of your mind? You could be disabled for life! You should take care of your body, not destroy it like this. What you're doing could be killing yourself.”Harvey remained calm even though he wa

    “I didn't expect to be tested in this way.” Doctor Aurelia kept her surprise. In her heart, she was a little worried about this. “Thank you for testing me, General--”Harvey shook his head while frowning. “Call me Mr. Harvey, do not call me General.”Doctor Aurelia was silent for a moment. Calling a person of high rank by name directly felt awkward to Doctor Aurelia. Moreover, this man was the one who had led her when she was on the battlefield.Doctor Aurelia did know that Harvey had retired, but it felt rude to do so. Doctor Aurelia only smiled hesitantly at this moment.Harvey, who caught the hesitation, raised his head slightly. “Mr. Harvey, you can call me that. This is not on the battlefield.”Doctor Aurelia nodded. “Very well, Mr. Harvey.”Doctor Aurelia felt a great deal of awkwardness, but Harvey only gave a small nod. So Doctor Aurelia thought that this was the right thing to do.Doctor Aurelia exhaled. “Mr. Harvey, if you wanted to test me, why did you do such a dangerous t

    “Damn it!” Jay glared at Jordan. He became annoyed that Jordan didn't answer his question.In a moment Jay could instantly feel the immense pressure from Jordan. His eyes didn't even radiate fear at all. Jay was sure that this person was not just anyone who came here.Irritated, Jay pulled his hand away, but Jordan didn't let go of his grip. In fact, the more Jay tried the tighter Jordan held him.Jay clenched his teeth, not liking Jordan's actions. “Oh, it turns out that this hospital has the nerve to act. Deliberately hiring thugs like this to obstruct us, huh? You'd better stay out of it if you still care about your fate, you village thug!”Jordan narrowed his eyes. He was seriously watching Jay's gestures. From the movement of his eyes, mouth, and behavior, he seemed to have a protector who he considered a strong man.Not long after, Doctor Aurelia arrived and she firmly stepped closer. Her gaze was sharp at Jay who had an unpleasant look on his face. “Why are you here again? I t

    “What a jerk. He is a pain in the ass.” Doctor Aurelia exhaled. Her eyes closed tightly as she looked down.The words spoken by Jay earlier were really weighing on her mind. Several times Doctor Aurelia exhaled, but it didn't calm the pounding of her heart.It wasn't just once that Jay had come here. This time he came alone, but before that he came with some gang members. They harassed the workers of this hospital, causing construction to come to a halt for some time.This time, Jay was really humiliated. Doctor Aurelia was worried about what that person would do next. Thinking about this made Doctor Aurelia a little dizzy. With a worried look she turned her head towards the hospital at the back. Even though the building wasn't completely finished, Doctor Aurelia felt responsible for the existence of this hospital.Doctor Aurelia shook her head softly. “I messed it up. The Longwood family won't like this news.”Harvey turned to the woman. He could see how she was distressed by Jay who

    “How did it get like this?” Whitley muttered it several times.The thin nails on his fingers pinched her lips incessantly. Occasionally she would bite them. Slowly but surely, Whitley walked to the right, then to the left again, and to the right again. She did so with furrowed brows.The scream from Andreas on the phone was still ringing in her head. It penetrated and seemed to squeeze her head. Moreover, Whitley had heard the news that Andreas had actually been arrested by the police.Whitley did not want to believe that fact. Because in the city of Duskvale, even a god should not be able to touch their slippery skin. The police who were supposed to be on the Brown family's side should not have done that.Whitley bit her fingernails again. “How is this?”Like a breath of air, this worry slipped into Whitley's chest until her breathing became heavier. Andreas' father, Johan, had told Whitley not to worry as he would take care of Andreas. However, the unceasing doubt stabbed at Whitley

    “How is it, darling?” Patricia, Johan Brown's wife, tugged on Johan's arm several times.Her heart kept imagining bad things happening to Andreas. The sirens and screams she remembered when Andreas was dragged away by the men in uniform kept Patricia's heart racing. However, she could do nothing but plead and tug on the arm of her equally confused husband.Johan's eyes glanced at his wife, the movement slow and slightly hesitant. His jaw hardened, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the surface of the table, as if looking for a way to avoid the question that had just been asked. “How what?”Patricia frowned. Exhaling in resignation, her shoulders slumped as if she was carrying the weight of the world. “About our son, of course. He's been arrested by the police.”Johan reached over and held his wife's trembling hand. With his thumb, he rubbed the back of her hand. “It will be alright. Uncle Andreas will be here soon. Cole is a reliable person.”Johan said it softly, giving her a calm

    Harvey got up instantly, his chair squeaking as it was pushed back. He caught a glimpse of something at the far end of the room, but more than that, his instincts kicked in. Another crash, louder this time-something had happened.Then, a woman's body was thrown into the air. Time seemed to slow down as Harvey moved quickly, his hand outstretched, catching the figure before her body hit the floor. The pounding on his arm was strong, but he managed to hold the woman's weight.For a moment, Harvey stared at her face. Her long black hair was in disarray, her thin lips were slightly parted in pain, and the red dress she was wearing looked rumpled from the fight that had just taken place.

Vanessa strides gracefully, her red dress swaying slightly with her movements.Once inside the bathroom, she walked to the sink and opened the faucet, letting the cold water flow between her fingers. Her slender fingers moved slowly, washing her hands as if to erase something that was bothering her.In front of the large, gold-framed mirror, Vanessa lifted her face. Her eyes traced her reflection-checking the makeup that had lasted all night. Has it faded? Was it still perfect?She moved a little closer, adjusting the position of her earrings, making sure their sparkle remained visible from any angle. Her fingers trailed through her hair that was neatly cut in a butterfly cut, tucking it behind her ear to make the jewelry more visible.However, her movements suddenly stopped. For a moment, she stared at her reflection in silence. The figure of the man from earlier came back

    Allison stepped into the control room of the military base on the border of Kaelvarion. The air inside the room was noticeably cooler than outside, mixing with the hum of machinery and the clicks of keyboards being pressed by operators.She sighed softly before walking to a bench near the main console. Her movements were decisive, without any hesitation. Once seated, her hands deftly placed a communication device in her ears, a high-tech headset that clung tightly to the side of her head.A man in a neat military uniform soon approached her. The look on his face reflected both confusion and concern. “Ms. Allison, why are you here? You shouldn’t be-”His words were cut off instantly. Allison simply raised one index finger, a small but stressful gesture. Her sharp eyes glanced at the man expressionlessly, enough to make him gulp. Instantly, she took a step back, almost reflexively, as if the air around her suddenly became heavier.Ignoring him again, Allison directed her attention to th

    In a practice field on the border of Kaelvarion, the sound of a loud crash echoed out, mixed with heavy breathing. Boston's large body hit the ground with a loud thud, before quickly getting back up. Sweat dripped from his forehead, running along his temples, while his chest rose and fell rapidly.In front of him, Alex stood slightly hunched over, his hands resting on his knees as if exhausted. However, his eyes still blazed with enthusiasm, his lips bearing a faint smirk."Boston," he said, his voice sounding like someone who had just found an interesting challenge. "You're really hard to beat." He took a deep breath, then patted his thighs as if trying to soothe tired muscles. "I've been cornered a few times... You're great!"Boston's eyes narrowed slightly, considering Alex's expression. There was something in the way the young man spoke - as if the fatigue he was showing was just a trick.In fact, Alex's body remained dry, not a drop of sweat soaking his skin. Unlike Boston, whose

    The city sky of Duskvale glowed in the dim light, leaving only the silhouettes of buildings looming in the distance. From the window, Harvey stood still, his hands clasped together, his eyes gazing far into the horizon. His breathing is quiet, almost inaudible.When the door to the room opened, the sound of footsteps echoed on the shiny wooden floor. Jordan entered without hesitation, his body erect, his gaze sharp. Harvey turned his head slowly, the faint smile on his face vanishing as soon as he saw who was coming.There are no words. Only silence hangs between them like a reluctant night fog. Jordan stops right in front of Harvey, his back straight, his demeanor disciplined. His voice was calm, but there was firmness in it. "Mr. Harvey, they have carried out your orders."Harvey's eyes flashed faintly, but his expression remained unreadable."Stan has been taken to the military base," Jordan continued. "Starting today, he will be conscripted."For a moment, silence reigned in the r

    The sound of breaking glass echoed loudly in Stan's study, followed by a string of curses that broke the silence of the night. His harsh words echoed like thunder, filling every corner of the now cluttered room.The servants standing guard outside could only look down, their hands shaking. They had witnessed their master's anger many times, but never with such fury. Not a single one dared to approach, let alone go inside."Bastard!"Stan swung his arm brutally, throwing a large vase of flowers at the door. It hit the hardwood before shattering into pieces on the floor, water and flower petals splattering, creating a mess that mirrored his thoughts.His breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling wildly. His eyes were red, full of unstoppable rage.The items in the room had been repeatedly smashed, but his anger remained smoldering, boiling inside him like an unquenchable fire.He clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Damn it! Explain to me, Dany!"His ey

    Stan felt the heat radiate to his ears. His jaw hardened, his teeth grinding together until there was a faint sound of enamel scraping. His eyes widened, staring at Harvey as if he wanted to swallow him alive."Damn it! This guy is getting sassy!" he thought, hands clenched at his sides. His breathing began to get heavy, his chest rising and falling as a wave of anger boiled inside him. "I'm already groveling, and he's acting like he has all the power here?"Stan remained bent over, his body rigid as if there were invisible ropes holding him in that position. His jaw clenched tightly, and for a moment, his breath caught like a stone in his chest.He glanced to the side, looking for some support from Hillary and Gwen. Instead, both women looked at him with furrowed brows, their gazes demanding. Secretly, they were giving Stan the code to find a way out of this situation immediately."Shit! They want me to solve this problem myself?" Stan's eyes twitched. His throat felt dry. He knew fu

    "We..." Hillary opened her mouth, but her voice caught in her throat. Her throat felt dry, as if the air around her had turned to dust that clogged her breath. She glanced at Stan and Gwen, hoping for support, but they looked away. Their gazes were blank, their faces slightly pale, as if they had just realized the fatal mistake they had made.In front of them, Erik Reinhart stood tall. His eyes were sharp, almost piercing, as if to expose their lies and arrogance. The silence that hung in the air was oppressive, making every second seem so long.Hillary wrung her fingers, trying to quell the anxiety that was starting to creep in. She knew that one wrong word could backfire. Erik Reinhart was not a random person. If he wanted, he could make Julius Claymore literally throw them out of this party. One more mistake, and they would be the talk of all Duskvale-not as the elite, but as an embarrassing joke. For the first time that night, Hillary realized that they had lost control of the sit
