Tamara Ebony froze over!Xynthia Zimmer froze over!Bryan Holt froze over!Steven Walker froze over!Even Kait Walker, who flipped the card over herself, could not even utter a single word!All of them were blankly staring at the table as if they could not believe that it was real.All of them shifted their gaze toward Harvey York. They could not believe that Harvey completely won a round against Kait.This was not just pure luck!If it were actually just luck, then Harvey would be the luckiest man alive!Kait took a deep breath and sized up Harvey once again in bewilderment.Right when she first met Harvey, she knew that he was no ordinary man.But she never thought that Harvey was a wolf hiding behind sheep’s clothing!Kait utterly lost. She felt unwilling and helpless at the same time.“You lost. Are you planning to admit defeat after two more losses?“Or are you going to be my woman now?”Harvey broke the silence and looked at Kait with eyes full of excitement.Star
‘Arrogant!’‘Shameless!’‘Crazy!’‘A small man intoxicated by his success!’‘A man that has no sense of danger!’‘What sort of identity do you even have?! What place do you think this is?! How dare you take the grand prize, Kait Walker, away?!’‘Don’t you know your limits?!’After seeing Harvey’s actions, Bryan Holt, Steven Walker, and the others were all twitching their eyes. They wanted to choke Harvey to death at that moment.Xynthia Zimmer covered her small mouth. She honestly did not know how to react.‘How could Brother-In-Law be like this?’But thinking that Harvey might have other plans, Xynthia forced her resentment down and chose not to say anything.She swore in her heart that she would not let Harvey off the hook if he were really like this!Right at this moment, both Steven and Bryan gave Tamara Ebony a look.Tamara nodded, then loudly exclaimed, “This is bad. This is terrible! The two-carat diamond that I planned to give Lady Walker is gone!”“It’s worth a f
“I’ve contacted the others already!“They’ll send in the security to handle this soon!“I’m warning you, Harvey York! Take out whatever it is that you stole!“If not, you won’t be able to get away with this if we find out that the diamond’s on you!“According to the rules here, stealing something would have a punishment equivalent to someone cheating on gambling venues, and that is to have your hand broken!”Bryan Holt coldly chuckled.Xynthia Zimmer stood in front of Harvey and exclaimed, “Stop throwing out baseless accusations! Harvey wouldn’t steal something like this. He doesn’t even need the money!”“He doesn’t need the money? Xynthia, stop protecting him already. His whole body screams, ‘I’m in need of a lot of money’!“Hurry up and get over here before he drags you into the situation!”Tamara Ebony pulled Xynthia to the side and stopped her from standing up for Harvey.Before Xynthia could even say anything else, the entrance of the hall was kicked open. A dozen suited
“Harvey, if you really found something…”“Just take it out.”“Miss Ebony will also thank you.”Kait Walker, who had stayed silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Harvey was just her temporary boyfriend, but she still wanted to help him.Harvey was indifferent. “I didn’t find anything. How can I hand it over?”Kait frowned. “Harvey, you don’t understand how serious this is. ”“This place is owned by the Jean family of Mordu. I heard that the Islanders also have some shares here. If you make trouble here, it won’t end well for you.”“If you hand the diamond over right now, I’ll apologize to Miss Ebony for you and we’ll consider the problem settled. Alright?”“Apologize?” Harvey didn’t sound at all concerned. “Why should I apologize for things I didn’t do?”“Are you sure you didn’t pick up anything?” Kait’s frown deepened. It seemed Harvey didn’t appreciate her goodwill at all.Right now, he certainly wasn’t thankful for her kindness. Harvey remained uncaring, too lazy to
Harvey’s socks and shoes were taken off. His belt was pulled away, too. Yet, they found nothing.Bryan’s expression of arrogance gradually changed into disbelief. He exclaimed grimly, “Impossible! The diamond must be with him!” Lenny frowned. He kicked the security personnel away and searched Harvey by himself.The other security personnel then went through all the nooks and crannies in the entire hall. However, they found nothing.After more than ten minutes of active searching, they became downcast and exchanged gloomy looks. Even if they found the diamond in a corner, they could still frame Harvey.But now, there was nothing. What could they do?Lenny’s eyes fell on Bryan.Noticing this, Bryan frowned and nodded.Lenny took a deep breath and called in a few more security personnel, including the female ones.“Search!”“The suspect may have hidden it in someone else’s body. Everyone has to be searched!”“If he stole the diamond, then his fingerprints must be on it!”S
“Well, now. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Manager Thompson?” Harvey asked calmly.Lenny, who was about to leave, stopped and glared at Tamara, his incompetent friend. He then took a deep breath and said coldly, “What do you mean, Harvey?”“She has just admitted that she put the diamond in my pocket in an attempt to frame me.”“You should explain that to me, shouldn’t you?”Harvey continued. He wore a hollow, indifferent smile.“Did she? Did Miss Ebony just say that?” Lenny pretended to look surprised. “Did any of you hear it?”Bryan was the first to stand up and said, “No, we didn’t hear it!”“Yes, Miss Ebony is the victim! How could she put the diamond in your pocket?”“Not to mention, you don’t really have it in your pocket. How can you say that she’s accusing you?”Steven countered eloquently.Tamara took the opportunity to backpedal on her mistake and screamed angrily, “Stop getting ahead of yourself, York! It was just a slip of the tongue!”“The reason you could
“Harvey! Enough!”Kait finally spoke.“Tonight’s my birthday dinner. I don’t want to see blood.”“Fine. For my girlfriend’s sake, I won’t kill you.” Harvey stepped forward and slapped him again, sending his cruel words back to him.After that, he looked at Lenny with an indifferent expression. “You seem to have just said that you’d give me an explanation.”“How are you going to explain now?”“I won’t give you a hard time. Just follow the rules of Paramount, as you’ve so graciously mentioned to me repeatedly.”Lenny was intimidated by Harvey’s aura. He blurted out, “According to the rules, the thief will have to cut off one finger, and those who took part in framing will receive the same punishment.”Harvey patted Lenny’s face lightly and said, “Then, follow the rules. I’m waiting for your justification.”Bryan and Tamara’s faces turned pale.Bryan covered his face and yelled, “How dare you hit me, York! Just wait, I’ll kill you!”“You’ve no idea, but my elder brother is th
In less than three minutes…A group of tall and burly bodyguards walked into the hall. All of them looked powerful. They seemed like the type that punched hundreds of pounds.Harvey sipped some juice as he studied the bodyguards with narrowed eyes. He could tell at a glance that these people were great fighters from the streets.Lenny held his head after seeing them coming. His spiteful glare fell on Harvey.A bald man marched forward. He seemed to be more than six foot tall. He didn’t have any eyebrows, but his skin was extremely pale, and he carried with him a strange fierceness.He stepped forward and threw a casual glance at Harvey. He then picked up a bottle of red wine and started drinking.After downing more than half of the bottle, he narrowed his eyes at Harvey and sneered, “Boy, I heard that you dared to hit our Manager Thompson’s head in Paramount. This is our turf, you know. You’ve got guts!”Harvey said nonchalantly, “Thank you for the compliment.”The bald man nar
