Chapter 2877
Six o’clock in the evening, at Vesper Light Tower.Victoria Harbor’s scenery was truly beautiful.After recording the video as instructed by Mateo, Aurora put on a wedding dress and brought her phone with her as she climbed the light tower.Perhaps it was because of her distant look and her dress…But passers-by and tourists alike assumed she was just filming a scene.Not a lot of people came to disturb her. Rather, they were all standing close by so they could record her actions.At a quarter past six, Aurora climbed to the top of the tower on her own under the watchful gaze of many, with the tower being around three hundred feet tall.She gazed toward the horizon as she held onto the rails.The sea breeze was terrifyingly loud, carrying a hint of salt. The windy effect made Aurora seem quite miserable, especially with how her dress stood out against the night sky.Everyone suddenly realized what was happening. People started screaming at Aurora, trying to stop her from endin

Harvey smiled when he looked at Aurora’s shocked face. “Remember now?”“I can give you some reminders if you want.”“After the commotion you made earlier today, you went back to the Three Seasons Hotel where you met Mateo.”“You later recorded a video on your phone…”“Then, you came here in a wedding dress to jump from this spot.”“If you don’t believe me, just check your phone.”Aurora trembled. She instinctively turned on her phone and played the video inside it.No matter how much she looked, the woman in the video didn’t seem like her at all.“I don’t know what you and Mateo planned…”“But it’s clearly not enough for you to fake your death for him.”“Only when you die for real will his master plan finally proceed.”“Queenie will be criticized and then forced to leave the Yorks of Hong Kong. She’ll have no other choice but to seek Jason’s help.”“After you die, even if the police find out that she has nothing to do with your death…”“The public will always go for Quee
Chapter 2879
After recalling the past, Aurora suddenly understood.If it weren’t for Harvey’s help, she would’ve been on the news headline as a bloated corpse.Thinking back, it was her who brought up the idea to plunge into the sea to Mateo.She didn’t believe that Mateo would allow her to die in such a dreadful way.“No… This isn’t possible…”Aurora’s face had completely lost all color, but she still remained stubborn.“Why would he even do such a thing?”“Even if he doesn’t want to take responsibility for me, I’m still one of his trump cards!”“I’m beautiful! I know how to serve people!”“I can get the people he wants to take down without any effort!”“Why would he kill me? There’s no point!”“Besides, I was the one who came up with the idea to blame Queenie for this whole mess!”“Mr. Mateo didn’t even come up with the idea!”“I’ll never believe you!”Harvey chuckled and threw a phone at Aurora.“Your room was playing Waterloo Bridge this afternoon, right?”“When you got back, yo

“And when you’re of no use anymore, you’ll be cast aside…”Harvey was impressed by Mateo’s plan.“Mateo’s pretty impressive! No wonder even Fabian’s asking for my help…”Aurora realized that what Harvey said was probably the truth, but she still instinctively denied the claims.“No! I’ll never believe you!”“Mr. Mateo would never kill me! I made the video, wore the wedding dress, and tried to jump because I was pressured! I sleepwalk sometimes!”After all, Mateo was the one who gave her the green card.He was her biggest sponsor, and also her greatest support.She believed that all of her glory and future belonged to this man.Yet… Not only was her future completely ruined, but the same man also tried to kill her!How could she possibly accept that fact?“Sleepwalk? Out of pressure?”Harvey laughed, amused.“I have to admit, your talent to spout rubbish is astounding!”“Are you trying to fool yourself?”“Even if you didn’t know that Mateo was using mild hypnosis on you,
Chapter 2881
Half an hour later, inside the Three Seasons Hotel’s presidential suite on the top floor.Harvey wasn’t staying here anymore, but the security was still very well-maintained.During the entirety of Aurora’s stay here, she was protected by the Dragon Palace. Nobody knew she was here in the first place.Harvey sat in the hanging garden and poured himself a cup of Black Tea, feeling warm and refreshed.Aurora was sitting right in front of him, shivering in her boots. Harvey smiled at her and poured her a cup of tea.“Here, Miss Celebrity. Drink this to relieve some of your stress.”“This is Iceberg Tea. It was just imported here this year. A pound is worth about seventy-six thousand dollars in the market.”Aurora wasn’t in the mood to taste the tea at all. She took the cup, her body still trembling uncontrollably, and she gulped the tea in one go.Harvey couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh. He sympathized with Aurora, who couldn’t even appreciate some good tea.As a well-known
Chapter 2882
At first, Aurora didn’t want to believe Harvey. Then, she recalled how she got blacklisted with just a simple text earlier on.Plus, Harvey was residing on the top floor of the Three Seasons Hotel. It was said that only royalty could book the presidential suite.These details alone were enough to explain quite a lot of problems.Harvey’s strength was enough to prove that he had the power to keep Aurora safe.After all, both the Dragon Palace and Longmen’s branch are powerful organizations within Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Besides, both first-in-commands from Hong Kong and Las Vegas had good relationships with Harvey.Aurora’s hesitation vanished. She was completely moved.If she could get close to Harvey and gain his trust, she could return as Country H’s most famous celebrity with just a single word from him.She gritted her teeth and said quietly, “What would you like me to give, Sir York?”“That’s up to you.”Harvey smiled, sipping his tea calmly.“After all, you should be
Chapter 2883
Harvey chuckled calmly before taking another sip of his Black Tea.Seeing all the convincing down the drain, Aurora’s body shook even harder.“Sir York, I know you and your men have poison that can control people!”“Why don’t you poison me as well? That way, I’ll never betray you!”“I have no way out! If I don’t work with you and I don’t get your protection, I’d get hit by a car as soon as I walk out of here!”“It’s not that I don’t want to give you anything, Sir York! I just don’t know what to give!”“First of all,” Harvey said calmly. “I don’t have any poison like that. Even if I did, what makes you think that I’d use the poison on you, especially when your life can’t compare to anything?”“Second of all, people change. Traitors to their own country like you change even quicker.”“Why should I protect you in the first place, especially if you don’t swear your allegiance to me?”“Do you think it’s so I can deal with Mateo?”“Is your life needed for me to do that?”“So I’m g
Chapter 2884
“The comments I made on Durin.”“Making trouble for Queenie at Seaside Restaurant.”“The Victoria Harbor plaza incident and the ghostwriters.”“Mateo instructed me to do all that.”“Of course, I don’t have any proof. Mateo would never state the instructions clearly. Rather, he’d only imply these things to me.”“Sometimes, I’d sleep with some old man because he told me to. I’d blow that man the entire damn night without even knowing his name…”“That’s why, I really don’t know much.”“What I do know are three things. I’m not sure if they’ll be useful to you, though.”“Tell me about it. I’ll be the judge of that,” Harvey said calmly.Aurora shot Harvey a stern gaze before replying quietly, “Number one, Jason is the deputy commander of the Knights Templar. Since he’s a man from Country H and has connections with The Empire’s royalty, he has his own division within the organization.”“His subordinates are all descendants of Country H who were exiled to The Empire in the early days
