Chapter 1476
“You’re here already, Ava?”A man in a white shirt chuckled as he walked over and shook Ava’s hand.He was tall and handsome, with a face as sharp as a knife. His whole body was covered in luxurious items; his wrist had a watch with the title of a billionaire’s entry ticket, the Richard Mille. Because of this, his aura of a master in a wealthy family was incredibly prominent. “I’m terribly sorry, Master Baker. I bumped into a beggar on my way here and wasted quite a bit of time.”Ava chuckled shyly, but she was beaming. She wanted to see a big fight commence then and there.“Please forgive me for my rudeness!”“It is the greatest honor for everyone to grace me with your presence!”Hugh flashed her a warm smile, and then turned to Xynthia.“This must be the junior that you told me about, Xynthia Zimmer. The newbie in the student council, right?”“Yes, that’s her. Not only is she new in the student council, she’s also this year’s beauty queen in the University of South Light!”

My god!When Hugh saw Harvey kiss Xynthia, he exploded in anger. A killing intent seeped out of his eyes.Who was Hugh Baker?He was none other than the second master of the Bakers from San Francisco!The Baker family was the top family in San Francisco. They had great influence even if they were in Mordu!His brother, Sam Baker, was on par with the likes of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, the Four Masters of Hong Kong, and the Six Princes of Mordu!Hugh would always get the women he wanted.Even if she happened to be a first-class celebrity or an internet-famous figure, he would have them in the palm of his hands quite easily.Never did he imagine that he would suffer this great of a loss because of Xynthia.The most infuriating thing to him was that Harvey ignored his warnings and humiliated him right there and then!A mere ant dared to challenge him, Hugh!How reckless!How oblivious!Hugh was furious. There would be dire consequences for this.Ava and the other soc

Everyone could tell that the bald man was mocking Harvey.How could a live-in son-in-law possess three hundred million dollars?If he had that much money, he would’ve already been accepted as an honored guest in the upper social circles.The problem was, Harvey looked nothing like someone from that circle!“Three hundred million?”Harvey ;aihjed.“I’m not interested in money, and I don’t know how much I actually have in my bank account.”“But I should have at least fifteen billion dollars.”Several social butterflies started to roll their eyes at Harvey’s words. They all giggled mockingly at him.‘Fifteen billion?’‘You can’t even pull out fifteen dollars!’‘If you can show off this much, why don’t you go on a talk show?!’‘People like him are usually more in demand the more they show off!’Even Xynthia froze at Harvey’s remark. She then immediately understood.She knew that her brother-in-law was capable, but fifteen billion dollars was no small amount.She always assum

Nobody expected that Harvey would still hold onto Xynthia’s hand, then stood up straight and replied to Hugh with a playful tone, “Seven hundred and fifty million dollars investment making three hundred million back per year. That’s a pretty good profit.”“How about this? Send over a project proposal and I’ll let my team evaluate it. If the plan’s doable, I’ll think about investing.”“Of course, we’ll have to sign an agreement.”Hugh was obviously trying to make fun of Harvey, so Harvey wouldn’t mind making fun of Hugh either.Besides, Harvey wouldn’t mind buying a share for Xynthia if the amusement park project turned out to be profitable.“Project proposal?”“Investing seven hundred and fifty million dollars?”“Agreement?”The crowd couldn’t hold in their laughter anymore. Their stomachs were close to bursting as they laughed aloud.The gathering tonight was much too interesting!Not only were there enchanting women like Xynthia, but clowns like Harvey were present as well!
Chapter 1480
Hugh and Tristan were baffled just like the rest, but once Ava spoke, they both showed expressions as though they already knew the truth.“I get it now. You looked for a friend to stage this beforehand, didn’t you?”“I have to admit, that was a really good trick!”“A shame you’re wearing stall-bought goods. You don’t look like a billionaire master at all!”“Just say that you’re Prince York if you’ve got the guts! In a place like South Light, spouting garbage like this will get you killed!”“Yeah! Take a look at yourself! You’re still going to pretend to be a master from a wealthy family and a billionaire?”“Do you know how many zeroes are in a billion?”“Master Baker and Master Tristan treated you like an idiot! Do you really think that you’re some hot shot?!”Hugh’s followers jumped up in anger, pointing at Harvey as they ridiculed him relentlessly.They were so close to being tricked by this poor fool!Harvey looked at the agitated crowd with great interest.“I won’t allo

“Great!”“You’ve got guts!”Tristan became agitated.When he used the Quinlan family’s name before, even princes and masters would need to pay him some respect.This was his first time meeting a hothead like Harvey.Tristan barked angrily, “Harvey York! Since you want to die so badly, then I’ll fulfill your wishes!”“I’ll make you regret coming to this world!”As Harvey was so disrespectful, Tristan wouldn’t mind using his connections in Buckwood to end Harvey once and for all.The few social butterflies several distances away watched Harvey with a disdainful smirk.In their eyes, a show-off like Harvey who only knew how to bluff up a storm did not even have the right to polish shoes for the masters of wealthy families such as Hugh and Tristan.‘Learning how to show-off now?’‘What is he thinking?!’‘Hugh doesn’t need to deal with Harvey himself!’‘If Tristan wanted Harvey dead, there’d be nothing left of him!’The social butterflies believed that a big show was about to
Chapter 1482
Harvey said calmly, “Since Master Baker is being so courteous, I shall have a drink as well!”“But you know, Xynthia’s allergic to alcohol. Let’s not make it hard for her.”“How about this? I’ll drink in her stead.”“I’m her brother-in-law and boyfriend, after all. It should be natural for me to drink for her!”As Harvey spoke, he raised a glass of wine and stood up.Hugh and Tristan exchanged glances, and smiled.Tristan walked up to Harvey and said, “Master York, you’re so easy-going! Looks like we’ve misjudged you before!”“Come, come, come. Let’s have a toast to show my apology. Cheers!”Tristan immediately poured Harvey another glass of wine after he finished speaking.Xynthia’s expression changed frantically. She subtly pinched Harvey’s leg to signal him not to join in.Xynthia was not stupid. She knew that Hugh and the others harbored ill-intent towards Harvey.However, Harvey didn’t react to her pinching and instead burst out laughing.“You’re a smart man, Master Tr
Chapter 1483
The more Harvey drank, the more apparent the red coloring his face. Hugh watched this sight with a cold chuckle.‘What an idiot! He’s still being so jolly even after being forced to shove this much wine down his throat.’Based on Hugh’s experience in drinking, Harvey would fall after a few more drinks.If Harvey didn’t lose half of his lifespan because of drinking too much, he would at least need to get his stomach scrubbed cleaned.Meanwhile, Tristan stared at Hugh in admiration. As expected from Master Baker, making such an effortless victory!He was right to pull this trick on an idiot like Harvey.Tristan grabbed another glass of wine and immediately went forward.Soon after, the bottles of wine were soon emptied.Xynthia dragged Harvey and exclaimed, “Brother-In-Law, no more drinking! Let’s go home, alright?”“You women don’t understand anything! Us men drinking is none of your business!”Harvey’s body was swaying, his eyes hazy. He looked as if he was about to fall
