Chapter 1997
Harvey York felt embarrassed to explain that he barged into the room because he was genuinely worried about Yvonne Xavier. He could only let out an awkward smile then.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out.”Yvonne shook her head.“I wanted to tell you this tomorrow, CEO York. But now that you’re here, why don’t I tell you right now?”“Hmmm?”Harvey knew that Yvonne wouldn’t just say anything out of the blue. His interest peaked at this moment.Yvonne took out a document from her handbag and handed it over to Harvey.“This is commercial land from Mordu Beach. It was previously under the control of a big family from Hong Kong.“But since it hasn’t been developed for thirty years now, the land is under the government’s control again.“Mordu’s government decided to auction off the land.“It’ll be held tomorrow at Purdue.“The land’s value is immense. If we can secure it and establish a commercial center there, it’ll benefit both Sky Corporation’s expansion within Mordu

After the two were done talking, the atmosphere suddenly turned quite flirtatious.The two didn’t even know how to start talking anymore.Yvonne Xavier started blinking a few times.“CEO York, how am I supposed to sleep when you kicked down my door like that?”Harvey thought about it, then replied, “How about this? You can sleep in my room, and I’ll sleep in yours instead.“Not only is it safer, but we can also confuse the others by swapping rooms. Even if anything happens tonight, you’ll be as safe as you can be.”Harvey York packed Yvonne’s things for her before the two headed toward Harvey’s room.“Hmmm?”Yvonne suddenly stood frozen in Harvey’s room. Harvey was confused.“What’s wrong?”“It’s nothing!”Yvonne was perplexed. She smelled something really pleasant, but it was something that didn’t belong to a man.It was a new house too. How could there possibly be such a good smell?After seeing Yvonne’s confused expression, Harvey burst out laughing.“What? Do you th

Be honest. You purposely showed off your No. 1 Villa to Miwa Fujihara because you wanted a popular influencer to throw herself at you, didn’t you?”“You even told her that you’re going to blacklist her! Do you want to let her take the initiative to come to you and talk about the script?!”Yvonne narrowed her eyes and walked around the room, as though she was searching for evidence of a crime.Harvey found her actions absurd. If Mandy came and tried to investigate his “criminal evidence”, then so be it. But what was Yvonne doing now?He sighed and immediately said, “Yvonne, you know me. I hate foreigners the most. How could I be interested in Miwa Fujihara?”“Don’t worry. There’s absolutely nothing between us.”“Stop causing a fuss.”Harvey knew very well that Yvonne was clear of the fact he would never get together with Miwa Fujihara.Yvonne was actually rather jealous of Miwa. However, the person herself failed to notice her own budding envy. And so, the ambiguous mood betwe

Next morning, ten o’clock sharp.Purdue Auction House was a semi-official auction organization. It was said that other than Mordu’s government officials, all the top families in Mordu had a stake in it.Simply put, this auction house represented the profit of Mordu’s entire upper class.Therefore, no one had ever dared to cause trouble in this auction house.Even powerful mob leaders from the underground kept a low profile here. If they ran into any conflict, they would quickly patch things up without much fuss.They themselves couldn’t guarantee their own safety if they acted arrogantly and stood out too much.Yvonne arrived at the auction house early in the morning. She sat at a corner, and then waited in silence.For this auction, Harvey was determined to acquire land in Lujiazui.Aside from using the land for Sky Corporation’s expansion in Mordu, another fundamental reason was that this auction could be regarded as a confrontation with Young Master Hector Thompson.Harvey

Kicking the door of the auction hall open, interrupting the auction, and taking a seat at the forefront. All of his actions screamed of dominance and arrogance. However, no one in the crowd dared to condemn him at all. Many people even stood up and greeted him respectfully.Even the beautiful female auctioneer who was on the stage bowed respectfully. A flattering smile appeared on her delicate face. Yvonne narrowed her eyes at this scene, but otherwise remained indifferent.However, there was an old saying: “The tree prefers calm while the wind does not subside.” Yvonne didn’t want to reveal herself, but Hector Thompson seemed to have sensed Yvonne’s presence a long time ago.His gaze fell to where Yvonne was. He smiled and waved his hand at her. “You’re quite sly, Yvonne. I heard you came here today for the land in Lujiazui.”“Are you really that eager to go against me?”Hector had definitely read Yvonne’s bidding document. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what Yvonne wanted to bu

It could even be said that the most valuable thing about the Nine Dragon Pearl was the tread patterns carved on its surface.It was very rare in the world, and finding a second pearl was near impossible. “31.4 million dollars. I want it.”Hector raised his plaque casually and quoted a price.The price of 31.4 million dollars wasn’t too expensive for him. After all, there weren't many natural luminous pearls in this world, and it was originally a priceless treasure.However, there was a problem.Hector’s identity was laid bare. Since he had mentioned the price, no one dared to increase the price.His actions had told everyone he was determined to get the Nine Dragon Pearl.No matter who was interested in the Nine Dragon Pearl, it wasn’t worth offending Young Master Hector Thompson for it.Hector himself assumed no one dared to bid with his price. Hence, he tossed the plaque in his hand to one side after shouting.“31.4 million dollars! Someone has bid the price for 31.4 milli

The man in charge of the auction hall wasn’t the only one to understand that Harvey was here to create trouble for Hector and blew things up in his face. Everyone in the hall was the same.As Harvey was eligible to participate in the auction, no one could force him out.His appearance gave many a sense of expectation. Although they dared not challenge Hector themselves, it didn’t prevent them from watching the fun on the sidelines.Harvey walked to the front row indifferently and sat down casually. There was only one seat between him and Hector.Hector didn’t bother looking at him. He was busy playing with his phone.As for Sakura Miyamoto, her gaze fell onto Harvey. There was a trace of coldness in her coquettish eyes.How could she not know who Harvey was?Sakura had taken action against him several times, but he still managed to show up unscathed at the auction house. This was enough to explain a lot of problems.“157 million dollars for the first time!”Although the auctio
Chapter 2004
The crowd was utterly shocked.Everyone watched the scene with disbelief, staring hard at the calm-looking Hector.471 million dollars?!That much money for a Nine Dragon Pearl? Was it worth it?It would only be worth 4.7 million dollars at most, but Hector instantly raised the price ten times more.Could it be that this brat who had appeared out of nowhere managed to successfully irritate Hector?Sakura’s eyelids were also twitching slightly at this moment. She stared at Harvey, wanting to say something. In the end, she chose to remain silent.The auctioneer became very excited due to the heated bidding. She could get a one percent commission of the total price of the auctioned item. In short, she was already receiving a commission of 4.7 million dollars in this sale alone.If this sale was completed, she could achieve financial freedom!She excitedly brandished a small hammer and said loudly, “471 million dollars for the first time. 471 million dollars for the second time!”
