Chapter 5705
Harvey instinctively looked at Billie, and saw her excited expression. He was completely speechless.‘Aren’t you a little too confident? Do you really think I’m actually interested in you?’Despite that, Harvey was moved to see Harlan trying to save him despite the latter’s family in uproar. He smiled at Harlan and began to speak, completely ignoring Whitley in the process.“Thank you for this, Uncle Harlan.“Don’t worry. I’m not interested in Billie. The arranged marriage was just a blank promise, anyway. No need to put that to heart.“As for this mess, I can deal with it myself.”Harlan froze, filled with disbelief.Whitley was shocked at first, but then her face turned cold. She was certain Harvey was either playing dumb, or trying to bait sympathy.“Did you hear that? You came all the way here to save him,” she snarled, scoffing, “but what happened? He doesn’t even care about you! What are you still staying here for? Are you that sentimental?”Whitley dragged Harlan out

Harlan sighed; he knew he had no way to deal with his wife.“He’s still family to us, Whitley…” he said. “Are you insane?” Whitley chuckled coldly. “He said he doesn’t want anything to do with Billie anymore. If that’s the case, I hope he rots in the building for the rest of his life!”Not just Harlan, even Billie frowned after hearing those words.“I don’t like Harvey, but there’s no need to talk like that either, Mom,” she said. “That’s right! He’s a kind man who can fight well. He has a good relationship with the Surrey family’s fifth lady, too,” Judith said. “Someone like him shouldn’t be locked up!”Whitley scoffed, and sized up Judith.“Since you have a good relationship with my daughter, I’ll let you in on a secret.“Harvey provoked Stefan himself! That bastard doesn’t know what he got himself into, but the Surrey family’s different.“Look here! Do you think he can get out of here without spending three to five years in jail? If that’s the case, I’ll eat up the floorb

“Of course, I believe that none of our students would do something like this.” Asher smiled faintly. “No doubt about that.”He then stopped right next to Harlan and Whitley, and began to speak to them with great respect.“Hello, sir, ma’am. I heard that you two and Harvey go way back. It’s a shame! I was in the tower too, but I couldn’t stop this from happening either.”Asher deeply looked into Billie’s eyes.“I didn’t do enough for him.”“What are you saying, Young Master Asher? What happens to Harvey has nothing to do with you!” Whitley quickly said. “That bastard has been staying in a big city for way too long! He believes that everyone is equal. He doesn’t understand just how different everyone is from each other!“He’ll suffer a horrible death for going against Mr. Stefan! Not just that, he’ll drag the entire Higgs family to the ground with him too…”Billie frowned after hearing her mother’s words. “Enough, Mom.”“Enough? Can’t we even talk about what Harvey did?” Disdai

Asher sighed.“I didn’t want to suggest this, either! I never wanted to get involved in the first place…but Harvey would be done for if I didn’t do anything!“Compared to being executed… It’d be way better for him to come clean, right? It’s obvious what the right choice is!”After hearing Asher’s words, Whitley raised her thumb.“As expected from one of the four great young masters of the outskirts! You’ve thought of everything! You’re a rare talent out of so many princes and young masters here!“Billie, if you decide to get together with Young Master Asher, I’ll agree wholeheartedly. If you miss this chance, you won’t find another man as good as him!”Billie froze; she was quite fond of Asher, but that was about it. And yet, her mother talked like they were getting married.Even Harlan froze after hearing Asher’s words. He was wondering if what Asher said was truly the best way to do things.Judith and her parents looked at each other; they had no right to talk about the situa

It had already been half an hour since Harvey was sitting in the interrogation room.He figured that the arrangements he asked of Yvonne were just about done. All he needed to do was wait. However, he was still a little curious as the person he expected hadn’t shown up yet.The situation in the outskirts was a lot more confusing than he initially thought. Stefan’s power was no less than extraordinary, too.Bam!The door was kicked open. Three inspectors walked inside, and signaled the two in the room to leave. They then sat right in front of Harvey.The inspector in the middle was a woman about twenty-five years old; she had short hair, with a beautiful face. She crossed her legs as she sat down, revealing black stockings that the two other inspectors couldn’t help but glance at.Harvey looked curiously at the woman. Judging from the situation, he expected to see the second-in-command of the police station. So, who was the woman in front of him?“Let me introduce myself.”The

Harvey shrugged.“Taking down the video would be good for you. After all, you wouldn’t have to deal with any public pressure. But how would I benefit from that?”Rae smiled.“Without public pressure, we can ensure you’ll be treated fairly. If not, we’ll simply have to prove that you’re the culprit—no matter what.”Harvey chuckled. “You’re threatening me? You’d slander me like this? Where’s your shame?”Bam!Another inspector slammed his hand on the table.“Watch your mouth! This isn’t a threat!“Let me tell you something! We have all the proof we need!“You’ve been locked up here for a while. We managed to gather all the witnesses and evidence to prove you guilty. “You better not refute anything. If not, you’ll only end up worse!”“The video shows how Inspector Freddie tried to get my fingerprints to frame me for something I didn’t do. Do you really think that anyone would believe you people after seeing that?” Harvey countered.“It doesn’t matter if they don’t! As long as

“You want the One-Eyed Bead? Just say the word. Will everything go back to normal once you have it?” Harvey said. Rae froze; she didn’t think that Harvey would be so upfront. “You robbed it from a prominent figure with your heinous ways! If you give it to me, I’ll speak up for you,” she said. “That’s it?”Harvey chuckled. “Forget it, then. Bring me my phone. I’ll ask your boss about what happened here. How did he manage to turn you all into a bunch of dirty scumbags?”“Enough! You talk like you actually have power here! If you actually did, how did you even get in this mess in the first place?!”Rae waved her hand for someone to bring Harvey’s phone, then threw it on the table.“Go ahead! Make the call! We’ll see how you call my boss!” she snarled.‘Trash like this is trying to show off, just because he has some money? What a joke!’Harvey quickly switched on his phone, and looked at the number Ethan texted him.Beep, beep, beep!Soon, a respectful yet excited voice cou

The other two inspectors looked disdainful after hearing Rae talk down on Harvey.‘What can a young kid from a big city like him even do?’ they thought.“This doesn’t make sense!”Rae’s beautiful face was filled with arrogance.“Uncle Harlan’s not that impressive of a man, but he won’t just let a show-off like you marry Billie, right? Is he blind or what?“Or did you manage to fool him with your pretty words? If my father arranged my marriage with someone like you, I’d kill you as soon as I see you!”The inspectors chuckled scornfully after hearing Rae’s words.‘That’s what you get for showing off like that! You’d have to pay sooner or later!’Harvey smiled; he didn’t seem threatened at all. “I suggest you wrap a few more layers of cloth around your knees. It’d be more convenient for you to kneel later.”“Keep pretending! We’ll see what happens!”Rae had nothing but disgust on her face.“Keep at it if you dare! We’ll see if you’re worth anything by then!“Even if you have y
