As Harvey stood there, facing Gracia once again, her plea hanging in the air, entering from one ear and going out from the other, he knew he couldn't ignore the pain in his heart, especially with the knowledge he had now about how his parents had died.My mind raced with memories of betrayal and hardship inflicted upon me and my family by hers. Just seeing her alone wanted to punish her immediately.My mind raced with memories of betrayal and hardship inflicted upon me and my family by hers."Gracia," he began, his voice firm but tinged with bitterness, "I can't help you. Not after everything your family did yo me."Her face fell, and Harvey could see the hurt in her eyes. Part of me softened momentarily at the sight of her pain, Gracia was a woman I used to love. but he quickly steeled himself against it. This was his chance to finally voice the years of frustration and anger that had built up inside him."You and your family destroyed my life," Harvey continued, each word laced with
Gracia stood there, stunned, unable to fully process Harvey's revelation. Her mind raced, disbelief flooding through her. How could he see through all my tactics so easily? It was barely just a week ago when she managed to get his information from the hospital. And was so happy that things would change, that Harvey would help her. But now, here she was, completely at a loss."Harvey, please," she pleaded, her voice shaking. "You have to understand, I'm desperate. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I am so sorry."He looked at me with a cold, unyielding gaze. "You're only desperate because you've run out of options, Gracia. Your manipulation worked before, but not anymore."His words cut deep, leaving me feeling exposed and helpless. She had always managed to sway people, to get them to see things her way. But Harvey was different. He wasn't budging, and it left her completely confused about what to do next."What do you want me to do? Please tell me." She asked, her voice barel
Days turned into weeks, and still, Gracia continued to beg. Each time Harvey saw Gracia, it was the same desperate plea, the same empty promises. It began to infuriate him, her persistence chipping away at his patience.One afternoon, he was leaving his house when saw her waiting by the entrance. Her face lit up with hope as she spotted him, but all she felt was a surge of frustration."Harvey, please," she called out, hurrying to enter my compound. "Just hear me out one more time."Harvey stopped, turning to face her with a sigh. "Gracia, I've heard you out more times than I can count. What more can you possibly say?"She looked at me with pleading eyes. "We need you, please. The company has fallen apart without your expertise. You're the only one who can save us."He felt his jaw clench, the familiar anger bubbling up. "You didn't need me when your family was ruining my life. Why should I help you now? Don't bother me."She reached out, trying to grab my arm, but I stepped back. "Pl
Gracia sat in her office, staring blankly at the stack of rejected proposals on her desk. The weight of the company's impending collapse hung heavily over her. She couldn't shake the image of Harvey, no longer the worthless son-in-law she once saw him as, but a powerful and influential figure in the business world. The realization filled her with regret.She had underestimated him, belittled him, and now he held all the cards. If only she could convince him to help. His unique ideas and business acumen were their only hope to lift the company out of this mess.Gracia couldn't help but think back to all the times she had dismissed him, treated him with contempt. And now, here she was, desperate and humbled, needing his help more than ever."How could I have been so blind?" she muttered to herself, her voice heavy with regret.The memory of their last conversation replayed in her mind. His cold, unforgiving demeanor. The way he looked at her, devoid of any empathy or concern. It was cle
One afternoon, Harvey’s phone buzzed with a call from an old colleague at Stephenson’s. “Hey, Harvey. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Gracia’s been coming around here looking for you. She’s desperate.”Harvey smirked, his mind already working on a plan. “Thanks for the info. I think it’s time for a little payback. She’s been spreading lies about me to investors, trying to save her sinking ship.”The next day, Harvey decided to give Gracia a taste of her own medicine. He instructed his assistant to book an appointment with her, ensuring it was a time when he’d be in the office but hidden away in a private room.Gracia showed up right on time, her face a mixture of hope and desperation. She sat in the waiting area, glancing around nervously. Harvey watched from a concealed spot, relishing the tension in her body language.His assistant approached her, a rehearsed look of regret on her face. “I’m sorry, Ms. Gracia, but Mr. Harvey had to step out for an urgent meeting. Can we reschedu
Anderson paced back and forth in his study, frustration gnawingI atday him. Gracia's failed attempts to reach Harvey were wearing on his patience. Each day brought a new disappointment, another reminder of how far they’d fallen."Damn it, Gracia!" he muttered under his breath, running a hand through his thinning hair. "How hard can it be to get through to him?"Gracia stood in the doorway, her face a mixture of worry and exhaustion. "I’ve tried everything, Anderson. He won’t answer our calls, and he keeps dodging our meetings."Anderson clenched his fists, struggling to keep his composure. "We can’t give up now. Harvey is our last hope. If anyone can help us turn this around, it’s him."She nodded, her eyes filled with desperate determination. "I know. I’ll keep trying. We can’t afford to lose him.""Good," he replied, his voice firm. "We need his ideas, his tactics. Without him, we’re finished."Days turned into weeks, and Anderson's frustration only grew. Every time he thought they
With Nadia's help, Harvey finally tracked down their stepmother, Katie. He couldn’t let her go unpunished for everything she’d done. She had to face the consequences of her actions, and he was determined to be the one to make that happen.Nadia and Harvey sat in his office, surrounded by files and documents. She had done a thorough job gathering all the information they needed. Katie had been hiding in plain sight, living comfortably off the wealth she had accumulated through deceit and manipulation."We have to be careful," Nadia warned, her voice steady but firm. "Katie is cunning, and she won’t go down without a fight."Harvey nodded, his jaw clenched. "I know. But she’s not getting away with this."They formulated a plan, meticulously detailing every step. Harvey wanted to hit her where it hurt the most—her reputation and her finances. She needed to feel the same despair and hopelessness she had inflicted on his family.The first step was to gather evidence of her fraudulent activ
Harvey decided it was time to turn his attention to Henry. Henry had always been as deceitful and conniving as their mother, Katie, and Harvey knew he was up to no good. Using the resources at his disposal, Harvey began to monitor Henry's every move.Henry had always been a snake, slithering through life with a façade of charm and integrity. But beneath that exterior, he was rotten to the core. Harvey hired a few discreet private investigators to tail him, observe his activities, and gather evidence of his misdeeds.Over the next few weeks, reports started coming in. Henry was defrauding people left and right, pretending to be the CEO of their father’s company. He was exploiting his connections, lying through his teeth to secure investments and partnerships. The arrogance he displayed was infuriating, but Harvey knew he had to be patient.One evening, as Harvey sat in his office, his phone buzzed with a message from one of the investigators."Harvey, you need to see this," the message
