Chapter 2130
Xynthia looked at her mother’s arrogant and domineering attitude, and felt an impending headache.Ever since her older sister grew in power, her mother had become more and more arrogant.In Buckwood, Lilian was quite bearable. Now, however, she had returned to her unpleasant self as in Niumhi before. Simon himself was rather frightened of Lilian’s overbearing attitude. He wanted to coax her and say something, but was too cowardly to say a word edgewise. As Lilian was busy cursing, a Toyota Alphard parked in front of them. Harvey stepped out of the car.He had borrowed it from Yvonne, as he couldn’t find a suitable car so suddenly.Lilian scrutinized Harvey with a critical eye. Seeing him clad in run-of-the-mill sportswear, she was unable to conceal the disgust in her eyes. She glared at Harvey with narrowed eyes and snarled pompously, “Harvey! Do you think you can do whatever you want after flying to Mordu for a couple of days?” “You dare make me wait for you here for an

“The Smith Corporation’s equity transfer agreement? It’s the company under Mordu’s Smith family, one of the top ten families of Country H, isn’t it?” Lilian was delighted.“My clever son-in-law! Did you prepare this gift for me? Not bad at all.”Lilian was blatantly insulting Harvey, but she was smiling from ear to ear.The equity transfer agreement was worth at least thirty billion dollars. Harvey’s name was already written on the contract, but the agreement had yet to be approved by a public notary.Lilian was thinking that if she erased Harvey’s name on the agreement and replaced it with hers, all the shares would fall into her hands.Harvey’s head began to ache. He understood very well the kind of person Lilian was. If she had control of the shares, bad things would undoubtedly happen. Before Harvey could respon, Lilian pushed open the car door abruptly. She saw the newly renovated number one villa in front of her, and her eyes instantly lit up brightly.“My clever son-in-l

“I can’t leave for the time being, since there are a lot of things that I need to see through. The quickest I can get to Mordu is the day after tomorrow.”“I’m really sorry, but I’ll have to leave it up to you to take care of my parents for now.”“That’s nothing to be sorry for. I’ll just be their driver and take them around Mordu for a few days, free of charge,” Harvey said, smiling warmly. “No. It’s not just that…”Mandy sounded even more exhausted.“You’re not in my mother’s friend group, so you haven't seen it yet.”“She was getting along with some friends from Mordu that she hadn't even met.”“Based on what I know, they’re distant relatives of the Jean family. Every single one of them are snobs. My mother invited one to visit her mansion at the Fragrant Hill!”“She even said that you’ll be the one to fetch her guests…”Mandy’s words made Harvey’s head ache even more painfully than before. Dealing with enemies all over Mordu was a piece of cake for him. Lilian just had
Chapter 2133
Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at a satellite city in his Toyota Alphard.At first, he refused to do as Lilian had ordered. But after recalling Mandy’s pleas, he was left with no choice and went out to fetch Lilian’s guests with great reluctance. Some things would be better off if Mandy was the one handling it.If Harvey had a falling out with Lilian, even Mandy might not be enough to resolve the problem.Thinking of how Lilian was still trying to make him divorce Mandy left him speechless with disbelief. While Harvey was still lamenting about his situation, a mother and son bearing what could be dubbed very Mordu-like appearances showed up.The mother seemed to be nearing her fifties. She was clad in off-brand clothes, her aging face caked with thick layers of makeup. She carried an air of arrogance unique to the citizens of Mordu.She gave the impression of someone who looked down on anyone who wasn’t from Mordu. Compared to the residents of Mordu, everyone else was noth

Harvey glanced at Lucie’s wrist, calm and composed.“Aunty Lowe. If I remember correctly, Patek Philippe has never released a quartz watch.”“I wonder… Which specialty store did you buy this hundred-and-fifty-thousand-dollar Patek Philippe watch, might I ask? Should I call the cops for you?”“If specialty stores sell you fake watches, they’ll have to pay you back tenfold.”“You’ll end up with 1.5 million instead.”Harvey began to dial three numbers on his phone, smiling warmly at Lucie Lowe as he did so. Lucie subconsciously covered her watch with her right hand. But in doing so, she realized that she was displaying her guilty conscience. Indignant and ashamed, she began screaming angrily at Harvey. “What does a poor driver like you know?”“I bought this all the way from Switzerland!”“Have you ever been there?”“Do you own Patek Philippe? Just because you said that they don’t sell quartz watches, doesn’t mean that you’re right!”“Why’s a driver like you trying to show off

Harvey pursed his lips, annoyed. Unfortunately, he could only swallow his frustration and open the car door for the two.“Aunty Lowe, please enter the car.”The opened door revealed a luxurious interior.Lucie and Nicolas’ eyes brightened at the sight, as though they were looking at an extravagant garden.The moment they entered the car, they whipped out their phones and clicked away, taking dozens of snapshots to show off in their friend groups. They were also sly enough to block Lilian and her family members from seeing their posts.Through the corner of his eye, Harvey saw Nicolas’ texts. The contents left him speechless. “The harder you work, the luckier you get. My first Toyota Alphard. Two hundred and thirty thousand dollars well spent.”As soon as Nicolas uploaded the pictures to his friend group, likes immediately flooded in.Not long after, he received a voicemail from someone with a profile picture depicting a young woman whose beautiful voice was obviously a result

Lucie joined in and shouted at Harvey alongside her son.“Exactly! Why’s a driver like you nagging at my boy?!”“Are you the one in charge of the car?”“You didn’t buy it anyway! What’s wrong with letting my son play with it for a while?!”“Besides, you’re only allowed to drive a car like this because of us!”“Without us, people like you are destined to ride on bicycles your whole life!”“Enough yapping! Stop the car!”Lucie and Nicolas were very confident in their argument, unaware of how ridiculous they sounded. To them, they were being perfectly reasonable.Harvey was losing his patience. He was ready to throw the two fools out of the car when a loud explosion not far ahead grabbed his attention. He spun around to look. All around him, people were panicking.Harvey rolled down the car window and stuck his head. He saw a Lamborghini stuck on the bridge’s railing and was hanging precariously from it. It could fall into the river at any time.“Miss! Miss! Are you alright?!”
Chapter 2137
Harvey ignored the mother and son and rushed to the front of the crowd. He squinted as he studied his surroundings, particularly the hanging Lamborghini.The Lamborghini’s engine was already beginning to burn up. Those who stood around the car dared not take even one step further. Even the woman’s butler and bodyguards did not have the courage to act.Forget saving their mistress, they might even lose their lives in the process.Harvey analyzed the situation, trying to come up with a plan. He deduced that the woman could only be saved after prying the car door open and taking off the seat belt, though all these had to be done in the shortest amount of time possible.In fact, the entire process had to be done within at most three seconds. If not, the person trying to help would get dragged into the river as well. In the worst case scenario, the Lamborghini would explode immediately after crashing into the river. Under such circumstances, there would be zero chance of the woman sur
