Chapter 2135
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

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
Chapter 2141
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was losing their heads from sheer terror.Nobody imagined that things would escalate to this point.To say the situation was dire would be an understatement. Ms. Thompson could die at any minute!On top of it all, she had just woken up. To see herself falling to her death was nothing short of pure torment. “Think of something already!” Butler Thompson yelled desperately, grabbing Daniel’s collar forcefully.Daniel, however, was drenched in his own tears. The proud man from before was reduced to a pathetic crying wreck.“It’s hopeless! There’s no saving her!”“Call the firefighters! Hurry! Call them now!”“She’s going to die! You have to hurry!”Daniel almost passed out, crushed by the pressure. Because Butler Thompson was ready to take responsibility if he failed, he felt that he could shift the blame to the old man. Unfortunately for Daniel, nothing went as planned. The Thompson family from Wolsing was one of the top ten families

“Get out of the way! The car might explode again!”“Stay away from the car! Don’t get caught in the explosion!”It took only ten seconds for Harvey to emerge from the crowd. He stood before everyone as he yelled several warnings. “Someone lend me a pair of gloves!”A person from the crowd threw a pair of rubber gloves to the ground. Harvey did not hesitate and grabbed them quickly. He put them on both hands and dashed to the exploding Lamborghini.The crowd watched him and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Compared to Daniel, who was just showing off, they could tell that Harvey really was trying to save Ms. Thompson. Even in the most dire of situations, he did not panic and kept a cool head.“He’s not scared at all when facing danger. Now that’s a true professional—a true expert!”“Be careful, Mr. Expert!”“Stop trying to fawn on him already! Think of a way to move your cars away! The fire brigade’s about to be here!”“...”Harvey completely ignored the crowd, uncarin
