Hazel Malone showed a peculiar look in her eyes. She seemed a little reluctant, but still, she forced out a warm smile.“Thank you for your support, Young Master Walker.”She wasn’t very fond of Steven Walker, and she even picked Garry Duncan over him previously. But after a while, she realized that the so-called Mixed Martial Arts Champion was nothing more than a joke.Compared to him, the rich heir who put a lot of effort into Hazel, Steven, was the better choice.Under June Lee’s insistence, Hazel was ready to accept Steven when he showed up at the Malone family’s house with invitations to the appreciation banquet.As for Harvey York, Hazel could not care less about him.Harvey was clinging onto Yvonne previously. Then, he got kicked out right after his wife arrived.How could someone like this even begin to compare to Steven?They were like night and day!Steven took a sip of his tea after he was done smoking.“All in a day’s work. Please don’t mind all of this, Hazel. We
June Lee squinted while pointing at Harvey York with her nose.“You’re not going to say that you’re the branch leader himself, are you? Do you think you could send us those invitations? Are you even worthy?“And you claim that you’re Mr. Tycoon himself? Do you know how much money Young Master Walker donated to Hazel Malone?“Three million dollars!“You can’t even make this much money your entire life! How dare you call yourself Mr. Tycoon?!“What are you even thinking?!“Let me tell you. Don’t try to act smart in the future, and stop showing off about things you didn’t do!“Even though we’re family friends, you already completely tarnished the relationship!“Don’t you dare say that you have relations with my family ever again! You’re simply unworthy!”Kelly Malone wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.June was right. People like Harvey liked to stand out from the crowd, and he was the kind of person that would take credit for someone else’s achievements.
Naturally, June Lee still thought Harvey York was showing off, yet pretending to be someone he wasn’t.Harvey sighed. He decided to give Hazel Malone one last chance.“Hazel, even though we have gone through a lot of unpleasant memories together, we can at least stay as friends, right?“Are you sure you want to break all ties between us?”“We’re both cut from a different cloth anyway! My father was the one forcing me to get along with you in the first place…“We should just let bygones be bygones!”“Fine. Since the entire family wants this, I’ll forget about this so-called marriage proposal,” replied Harvey calmly.“Good. At least you’re still quite sensible…” responded June without a hint of remorse.“Third, from today onward, you’re fired from the Kaizen Group! Young Master Walker doesn’t want you working there anymore!“If you really want to stay in Mordu and flourish, you must rely on your own strength!“Hazel and I won’t be helping you anymore!“I hope that you won’t co
“Do you think the family wants anything to do with you?”June Lee seemed rather impatient.“I already told you. Just sign the letter, and we’ll have nothing to do with each other!“Just treat the money as your mental anguish fee!“You have no idea, do you? Ever since your mother-in-law texted in the villa owner’s group, I was terrified that you’d keep nagging my family even when I’m sleeping!“You even had to ask the waiter to come to a small place like this! You couldn’t even get in on your own!“Our family’s going to Mordu’s classiest banquet today…“There’s such a huge gap between us, and yet you dare say that we want something to do with you? Are you shameless?“You talk like you’re actually rich and influential, as if you can help my family!“Are you even worthy of having relations with us?“If you didn’t fool the old man to bring over some filth like you here, do you think we even want anything to do with you?!”Naturally, all those words came from June’s heart. If it
All the big characters were yet to arrive since it wasn’t time for the banquet.On the other hand, ordinary guests were all located outside, socializing while waiting for the banquet to start.Since Harvey York came early, he couldn’t find anyone he knew just yet. While he was walking around, Kelly Malone’s family and Steven Walker noticed him.“Bastard!”“This bastard!”“Why is he here?”June Lee’s expression turned horrible in an instant.“How can he be this shameless?!“Is he trying to get inside with the family’s name?!”Kelly still felt a little guilty earlier, but rage had completely replaced that feeling then.“What a disappointment!” Kelly exclaimed coldly.Naturally, Kelly and the others thought that Harvey only knew about the appreciation banquet because of their afternoon talk.That was why Harvey was trying to take advantage of the situation!Hazel Malone frowned. The guilt in her heart had completely disappeared then.When Harvey ignored the family about to h
June Lee’s expression was filled with utter disdain while she sized up Harvey York.“Oh my! Our dear Sir York is also here to attend the appreciation banquet of Mordu’s Longmen branch?“You’re just a jobless kept in live-in son-in-law! How can you even be here in the first place? What right do you have even to attend?“Do you really think that we don’t know what you’re capable of?“Is there even a need for roleplaying here?“If you aren’t standing with us right now like actual guests, you would’ve been thrown out of the place by now!“Do you believe that we can get you kicked out with just a single word?!”Naturally, June was already quite disgusted by Harvey’s honest look on his face. He was a kept man with no talent whatsoever, but he acted as though he was the king of the world!Was he even worthy?!Kelly Malone could not even bother interacting with Harvey any longer. He wanted this ignorant man to experience the harsh reality of society on his own.In Kelly’s eyes, there
Not too far away, Kelly Malone did not have the heart to watch the sight, so he swiftly looked away.On the other hand, June Lee was showing a playful expression on her face, looking intently with a faint smile on her face.Since Steven Walker decided to trample on Harvey York, nobody would stop him.In Kelly and June’s eyes, Steven might just become their dear son-in-law.Since that was the case, it was clear as day whose side they were on.Even though Steven wasn’t the one taking action, Max Truscott was only second to Aiden Bauer within Mordu’s Longmen branch. It would be a piece of cake for Harvey to end up dead!Hazel Malone let out a huge sigh. She was utterly disappointed with Harvey’s actions.‘Oh, Harvey. You’re just an insignificant character. If you keep forcing yourself into this world that you don’t belong in…‘You of all people should know the consequences.‘Don’t you realize your limits? Why are you still pretending like you’re attending the banquet?’“Step asi
Harvey York was indifferent, facing Max Truscott and Steven Walker’s arrogance and menace.“If you don’t step away now, you might not get another chance later.”The entire crowd trembled after hearing those words.Even Hazel Malone and the others gasped in shock while looking at Harvey.That was Max Truscott himself!The legendary Brother Max!His status within Mordu’s Longmen branch was extremely high! If he wanted to trample on someone, it would be no different than kicking a dead dog!People like him were true rich playboys!Max was well-known because he would dare to mess with people from the upper social circle!Because of his extraordinary fighting skills, even Justin Walker would stand up for him quite often.Max had no other weakness other than being a little too rash, making him unsuitable for big events.In cases where he was enraged, he would take it upon himself to deal with the person who angered him.“I might not get another chance, you say?”As expected, Max
