“Harvey! You’re finally here!“I’ve been waiting for you!”Whitley Cobb quickly pushed Billie Higgs after seeing Harvey York’s arrival.Billie forced out a smile as she walked over.She wore a black Givenchy short skirt along with a pair of black stockings, revealing her fair and smooth legs.Judith Pedler, Aliza Howell, and the other women also had their forte, but Billie completely outmatched them.After seeing the beautiful woman in front, Harvey nodded.“Hey, Billie.”Those words came out so awkward.“Everything’s better now that you’re here!Billie desperately scoured for a topic while smiling brightly.“I was worried that you weren’t joining!”Harvey did not know why the incident in Mandrake Residence did not spread.But after knowing Harvey’s true capability, Whitley and Billie knew he was no ordinary man.Billie and her family belonged to the Wolven Tribe but were not direct descendants.They would be greatly benefitted if they had someone talented like Harvey as

Billie Higgs instinctively opened her box before seeing another broken dark blue bead.It looked identical to the one Judith Pedler had. Both of them were old and worn out.Before Billie even said anything, Aliza Howell had spoken again.“Throw that trash out of here, Billie!“How dare he use something like this to provoke you?“He’s heinous!“Not only is he trying to hook up with you, he’s also making advances with Judith!“He’s insane!”Everyone started glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Get this man out of here, Ms. Billie!” said a few of Billie and Judith’s pursuers.“That’s right! This is a gathering of upperclassmen! This guy’s lowering everyone’s standards here! It’s humiliating!”“I like whatever Harvey gives me anyway,” Judith replied.Billie quickly mediated the situation with an awkward smile.“It’s just a small gathering, everyone. There’s no need to prepare anything in the first place.”“I know that you have an arranged marriage with this guy, but you can’t jus

“Buy a damn villa here if you’re really capable!“I’ll admit you’re not a kept man after that!”Aliza Howell showed a proud expression when she found a chance to reclaim her pride.The beautiful women behind her were chuckling after hearing those words.“You shouldn’t keep complicating things for him, Aliza.”“Do you even know how much a villa here costs?”“Every property here is fifteen million dollars on average!”“The No. 1 villa is at least a few hundred million!”“A poor sob like him wouldn’t be able to buy something like that!”“He would never get the money after working for eight different lifetimes!”Judith Pedler wanted to speak up after hearing all the insults, but Harvey York raised his hand to stop her.He did not know why Aliza despised him this much, but he did not feel the need to act either.Harvey casually pointed at the peak of the mountain outside the window.“Since you all know the No.1 villa, there’s no need for explanations.“That villa’s mine.”“Yo

At this point, the beads simply had to be appraised.Whitley Cobb also wanted to ascertain Harvey York’s wealth and identity. She led Harvey and the others to the study on the second floor with a smile.Harlan Higgs paused after seeing Harvey and the others inside.“You’re here, Harvey!” he exclaimed.“I was just about to come look for you!“This is Ms. Zimmer. She’s an antique dealer from Mordu.“We’ve been dealing quite a lot for the past few days.“You two are from big cities! You both should get to know each other!”Harvey instinctively looked over before he froze.‘Mandy…?’He had been in the outskirts for quite some time. He even had gotten Dutch to send many of his men to search for Mandy’s whereabouts.And yet he bumped into her here, of all places.Clearly, Mandy was also frozen in place. She could not process her thoughts when she saw Harvey.Before Mandy could even speak, Harlan smiled when he stepped forward.“Let me introduce you, Ms. Zimmer.“This is Harvey

After seeing the sight and hearing Aliza Howell’s words, Whitley Cobb could not help but feel down.She thought Harvey York gifted something good since he was such a powerful man…But she did not think he would be exposed in front of professionals like that.Harlan Higgs let out a chuckle. He tried to mediate the situation.“Harvey’s just a student anyway.“It’s the thought that counts. It doesn’t matter if the gifts are expensive or not.”Aliza gave a cold chuckle. She was not letting Harvey off the hook that easily.“Sure, you can put it that way…“But he’s simply heinous for fooling others with some trash from a roadside stall!“You should really get this man out of here, Uncle Harlan!“He’s making the air stuffy by the minute!”Harlan frowned.He tried to mediate the situation, yet Aliza stuck her nose and ruined everything.Just as Harlan was about to say something, Mandy Zimmer sipped her tea before smiling.“Mr. Harlan, I haven’t deduced if the beads are actually a
Chapter 5793
Nobody could sense the growing tension between Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York. They were all excitedly looking at Rhodes Wright.“Since you’re here, do you mind appraising the beads?“There’s a huge chance that they’re from a roadside stall. It’d probably taint your eyes, but we should take the opportunity to reveal that man’s true colors.“You’d be able to figure this out quickly, right?”Rhodes smiled at Mandy before looking around him.“I’m a part of the team that Ms. Zimmer hired.“Since she asked me to, there’s no reason for me to refuse.”Rhodes picked up the beads on the table before taking a closer look.Then, he took a deep breath before finally speaking.“These two beads are at least a thousand years old.“These are called Millenium Beads. They’re beads of the legendary Medicine Avatar.“The beads have been used as medicine since ancient times. Wearing the beads long-term would remove sickness from one’s body and promote sleep.”Everyone froze. Mandy looked deep int

Harvey York had mixed emotions after seeing Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright enter the same car.He had been cautious when he came to the outskirts, but he did not expect to be so angered by Mandy like this.“Forget it.Judith Pedler came to Harvey’s side.“She’s at least five years older than us. You don’t have a chance.”Harvey went speechless after hearing Judith’s words.‘I can’t just tell you she’s my ex-wife now, can I…?’The celebration was over an hour later.Many guests had left one after another. Only Harlan, his family, and Billie Higgs’ two good friends remained.Because of Mandy, Harvey was not in the mood to make Aliza Howell kneel as an apology. He was planning to sort things out after getting home.“Where are you going, Harvey?“I have prepared a room for you here. You should stay here for the time being.”Naturally, Harlan Higgs was prepared for this.“No need, Uncle Harlan.Harvey shook his head while skimping past the subject. He seemed to be deep in thou
Chapter 5795
Harvey York bitterly chuckled. He did not intend to waste more time with the others.But at this point, he simply had no choice but to take them to his home.It would also be good to show Harlan Higgs a little more about him.If not, Harlan might not be able to accept the facts if everything were to be revealed.After all, he had treated Harvey quite well.Because of that, he simply obliged.The group walked up the stone stairs before coming to the mountain’s peak in front of the No .1 villa.Not only did the villa take up most of the mountain’s space, but it was also the one with the most subtle design.Under the dim lights, the entire place seemed like an ethereal wonderland.After all, the people living in the No. 1 villa could look down the entire outskirts with just a glance.After getting close to the villa, Harvey’s phone suddenly rang.Harvey looked at the screen before seeing an unknown number. He waved at the crowd before picking up the call on the side; he guessed
