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?!”

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

Daniel soon came to his senses. He pondered for a while before saying, “Butler Thompson, I think you can clearly tell what’s going on in front of you.”“I assure you, Butler Thompson. There is only one solution. We must push the car into the river to stop it from exploding.” “Even so, doing that carries an extremely high risk. If your lady happened to be very unlucky, the car might explode the moment it enters the river, or if it suddenly suffers a hydraulic shock. Both circumstances can be deadly for her!”“That’s why you, as her butler, must decide if we’re going to save her or otherwise!”Daniel was keen enough to take advantage of the situation. Knowing that he would be in hot water should anything wrong happen, he quickly shifted the responsibility to Butler Thompson.If Daniel was victorious in saving the esteemed lady, then he could hog all the credit and glory. On the contrary, if he failed and the lady ended up dying in the process, the responsibility would fall on But

“I don’t know what kind of expert you are, but don’t you know that what you’re doing is extremely risky?” Harvey challenged, trying to control his temper. Daniel’s plan was nothing short of outrageous! “The only way is to pry open the car door right now and take off the seat belt as quick as possible, and then get Ms. Thompson out.”“But all that must be done in a span of three seconds!”“If the rescuer fails, he’ll get dragged into the river along with her!”“If you really are the expert you claim to be, you should be able to tell that this is the only way!”“The only way?”Listening to Harvey’s explanation, Daniel knew that Harvey’s way had some chance of succeeding, even if it may be a slim one.But a true man would not stand behind a collapsing wall. Daniel knew that this rescue attempt would affect his reputation. He refused to carry out Harvey’s plan. “From how I see it, your so-called ‘only way’ doesn’t even have a chance of succeeding unless you give up your life!”
Chapter 2140
To make things worse, they saw Harvey as someone who tried to gamble on a woman’s life for his own benefit!‘There’s actually someone who dares to toy with Ms. Thompson’s life! He must have a death wish!’Several beautiful women present were unable to hide their disgust. They glared daggers at Harvey, their faces twisted in scorn and contempt.‘This liar’s really overestimating himself! He’s actually trying to steal the limelight from a safety management expert!’“Even if you do follow his plan, he shouldn’t simply push the car bare-handed. Humans have static electricity in their bodies. There’s a possibility that he might ignite the tank once he touches the car…”Harvey reminded kindly, determined to press on. He really did not want to see the woman dying in vain.“Stop nagging, young man!” Before Harvey could even finish, Butler Thompson immediately cut him off and stopped him.“If you keep stopping us from saving Ms. Thompson, we’ll have to force our hand!”Upon Butler Tho
