Category: Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 4751

Chapter 4751

“If that wasn’t the case, a thousand of you would be no match against my father!”

Monica’s face was frost.

“Alright, enough talk!

“Kneel and break every single one of your limbs, then castrate yourself!

“After that, stay with my father’s grave for a whole week!

“I’ll decide how to deal with you when my husband’s back!”

Monica had an arrogant expression, as if she was convinced Harvey had no choice but to obey her every single order.

Her companions were all screaming fiercely at Harvey, desperately wanting to tear him apart.

The Nobita family, with their aristocratic titles, would usually act high and mighty.

When had they given in before?

When did anyone dare go against them?

And yet, a mere man from Country H crippled their young master, then killed their mistress’s father!

What a joke!

Harvey waved his hand to stop Soren and Darwin, then glanced at Monica with a small smile.

“You’d rather become traitors of your own country than be an honest person? You want me to break my own limbs, too? Are you joking with me?”

Monica laughed coldly; she didn’t think that Harvey would actually talk back to her.

“You better know what’s best for you, Harvey York!

“You of all people should know what you’re capable of!

“If not, I’ll make sure that you suffer a horrible death!

“Don’t even try to use the badge to scare me, either!

“I belong to the Island Nation’s nobility! A badge from Country H won’t do anything to me!

“Your life is in my total control! You understand me?”

Monica came this quickly for a reason.

She believed that Harvey was just a despicable man who used underhanded tricks. With his badge, Heaven’s Gate probably had no way to deal with him.

Thus, Monica decided to bring the Nobita family herself to act as she pleased.

She didn’t kill Harvey immediately because she wanted to take out all his friends and family in front of his eyes first. This was the only way to torture his heart and vent her frustrations.

Harvey smiled. “I don’t understand.”

“You don’t?” Monica was furious. “Do you have no idea who you’re going up against, Harvey? Do you not understand what my name means?”

Monica pointed viciously at Harvey.

“I can kill you with a single slap to the face!

Do you believe me?!”

“A single slap?”

Harvey looked calmly at Monica.

“You think you’ve achieved greatness already when you’re just a King of Arms? I don’t think I believe you at all.”

Monica’s cohorts glared disdainfully at Harvey.

‘Does he have a death wish?”

‘How dare he talk to the mistress like this?’

‘Does he want to die?’

‘That said, it’s only natural… This shameless man used his badge to flaunt his strength before killing Elder Jakai!’

‘He probably thinks he’s impressive!’

‘He doesn’t know just how ignorant he actually is…nor does he know that he can’t even compare to an expert like Monica!’

‘After all, she’s one of the top ten experts of the Island Nations’ younger generation!’

Chapter 4750

“They also know about my relationship with Quill.

“I’d get in trouble if Jakai died, and Quill would surely stand up for me.

“With his protection, the six Hermit Families would probably be dragged into the situation too, since they’re always together.

“With that, all of Golden Sands’s forces would have no choice but to go against the Heaven’s Gate and the Island Nations.

“The culprit’s mission would be complete after that.”

Harvey looked thoughtful.

“The culprit’s goal isn’t to kill Jakai or me.

“They’re planning to enter the game.

“With a strong impact, of course.

“There can only be one person with such methods and timing…”

Darwin and Soren locked eyes; they didn’t think that Harvey had already figured out this much.

“Who is it?” Soren asked after a short moment.

“Faceless of Evermore,” Harvey replied.

Darwin and Soren shivered, and their faces turned dark. It was only a speculation and there was no solid proof, but it was highly probable that Faceless was actually behind this.

Harvey narrowed his eyes for a moment, then looked at Darwin. “Where’s Quill?”

“He went to the Heaven’s Gate last night.”

Darwin’s face darkened. “He said that the head’s about to come out. He needed to pay a visit.”

Darwin’s casual words were enough to explain what Quill actually went to do.

“I’ll have to thank him for that,” Harvey said.

The three went on chatting idly. When they arrived at an empty space in front of the funeral parlor, they looked at the sun and sighed in relief. Even so, they could sense that the air was completely different.

Vroom!

Several Lexus cars charged in before drifting to a halt, their engines roaring in the air. All cars bore diplomatic licenses from the Island Nation Embassy, and they carried authority anywhere they went.

Eight Islanders clad in traditional yukata walked out.

A charming young woman with a beautiful figure was leading the group. She seemed quite sad and prideful at the same time.

One could feel the aura of an elite exuding out of her. It was clear that she was an extraordinary figure who had been in a high position for most of her life.

Soren froze; he didn’t think that person would show up this quickly.

Darwin frowned. He recognized the woman as well. The moment she showed up, his expression grew horrible.

She was strutting forward, a high and mighty look on her face.

She was holding her phone as she glanced at Harvey a few times. Then she screamed, “Are you Harvey?!”

Even though she was speaking in English, her accent alone made everything sound horrible.

Harvey calmly spoke up Before Darwin could tell him the woman’s identity, Harvey replied calmly, “Who are you?”

“I’m the mistress of the Nobita family and Jakai’s daughter, Monica Vaus!”

Monica glared coldly at Harvey, her words filled with the intent to kill.

“Looks like my son was right. You’re the bastard who terrified my father with a badge! After that, you crippled him and ended his life! You’re despicable!”

Chapter 4749

Chapter 4749

Soren was speechless.

Jakai was a prominent figure. Heaven’s Gate supporting him was no easy opponent to deal with, either. More importantly, he had deep connections with the Island Nations.

The Islanders would surely use this opportunity to cause an uproar.

Simply put, Golden Sands was in deep trouble.

Soren and the entire Braff family would definitely suffer a lot of pressure soon enough.

He had received a phone call from Wolsing this morning, telling him to solve the case as soon as possible so the people from the Island Nations or Heaven’s Gate wouldn’t get a chance to take action.

“I looked into the situation, Sir York. This old bastard had quite a lot of enemies!

“Some of them are peak Kings of Arms, too.

They’re fully capable of killing Jakai with one hit.

“That said, they all have alibis to prove that they had no time to assassinate him in the first place.

“Besides, they aren’t so quick as to be able to do this immediately after hearing about Jakai getting crippled.

“It’s quite troublesome…

“Judging from the higher-ups from Heaven’s Gate, this isn’t just an ordinary assassination.”

At this moment, Darwin revealed a profound look.

Harvey smiled. “No need to hide anything from me, Darwin. You’re trying to say that I’m the biggest suspect here. Right?”

“That’s right,” Soren said.

“We even chased down Chiba and Ramon, just to question them.

“They didn’t hesitate to say that it was you.

“They told us that Jakai threatened to kill you after you crippled him.

“That was why you dealt with the problem once and for all.

“They even said that you had just enough time to do such a thing. Darwin testified for you, but they still wouldn’t believe you.

“The Vaus family of the Heaven’s Gate, in particular, are all screaming to rip you to shreds.

“Even the Nobita family are itching to take action as well. Jakai’s son-in-law is the family’s head.

“You should be careful, Sir York.

“Especially with Jakai’s daughter, Monica Vaus!

“Not only did she receive all of her father’s teachings, but she was also taught the Nobita family’s swordsmanship after she got married into the family.

“Her strength may have already surpassed Jakai.

“I received word that she’s heading here all the way from the Island Nations.

“With her diplomatic passport, nobody can stop her from entering the border.”

Soren showed a bitter expression.

“You need to watch out for the next few days. I’ll make sure the SWAT team keeps you and your family safe.

“Don’t decline the offer. I know you’re not afraid of these things, but it’s hard to deal with enemies that you can’t see. My father will kill me if anything bad happens to you!

“I’ll find the culprit soon to prevent any chaos from happening in the city, too.”

Harvey nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself.”

Soren nodded. His expression was grim. ”

Why do you think the culprit wanted Jakai dead?”

“To cause more chaos in the city, of course,”

Harvey replied.

“Not only does the culprit know when exactly Jakai arrived at Golden Sands, but…

“They immediately took action after I crippled Jakai.

“They’re trying to shift the blame to me and give the outsiders an opportunity to strike.”

Ding!

At this moment, Darwin’s phone suddenly rang.

The ear-piercing ringtone broke the silence of the night, startling Darwin and the higher -ups.

Darwin haphazardly answered the call, and placed the phone beside his ear. His eyes twitched, and the phone soon fell to the ground.

Quill glanced calmly at him. “What’s the matter?”

Darwin’s face turned slightly pale.

“Jakai’s dead…” he replied, trembling.

‘Dead?!’

A few simple words were enough to silence everyone. Everyone held their breath-the whole place was emerged in pin-drop silence.

The higher-ups suddenly looked as if they had been rotting in the ground for three whole days.

Quill, on the other hand, casually held his cup, his arms crossed.

“Chaos is coming to the Golden Sands…”

Early the next morning, Harvey glanced at his phone as soon as he woke up. He saw dozens of phone calls on his screen.

Harvey calmly called a few of them back, and soon found out about Jakai’s death.

He then called Soren to make sense of the situation, then instructed Thomas to take him to the Verdant Funeral Parlor.

The place was a luxurious funeral parlor with decades’ worth of history, located right under Indigo Mountain.

But no matter how fancy it looked, the place’s true nature couldn’t be changed.

A thick scent of blood wafted over as soon as Harvey got out of the car, making him frown.

Even after being on countless battlefields, he still wasn’t used to a sight like this.

He arrived at the morgue by following the signs.

There was a huge workspace for the forensic workers, with a lot of equipment and chemicals all around.

Darwin and Soren were waiting at the entrance. They gave Harvey a mask and a pair of gloves, then signaled for him to head inside.

There were a lot of storage place for body parts at the side, with a dissection table in the middle of the room.

A pale corpse could be seen on top of the table, with thick bones and calluses around the hands and feet. The corpse was none other than Jakai himself.

Harvey walked over, and narrowed his eyes calmly.

“Jakai was sent to the hospital yesterday evening,” Soren said.

“According to their plan, they’d fly back to the Heaven’s Gate to see if they could deal with the situation after treating Jakai’s injuries.

“Jakai had been staying in the intensive care unit, since he was emotionally unstable.

“When the chopper for the Heaven’s Gate arrived to take Jakai away, he was found dead on the couch.

“His arteries were destroyed with a single hit from the palm. No other traces could be found.”

Soren pointed at Jakai’s chest, where a palm print could be seen. It was clear that an expert martial artist had done this.

“The murderer was strong, probably a peak King of Arms at least.

“It was a clean and decisive hit.

“According to my speculation, Jakai died without getting a chance to fight back.”

Soren looked puzzled.

“Who would come all the way here just to kill a cripple? Who would hate Jakai this much…?”

Chapter 4747

Chapter 4747

“Should we just give him a chance to plot against us?

“You must be joking, Harvey!

“He’s a peak King of Arms! You’re already showing a lot of respect by keeping that man alive!

“You don’t need to worry about this at all.

“You should just focus on not getting killed by his disciples.

“As for the so-called pressure, I can handle it easily.”

It was a big incident, yet Quill wrote it off without a care in the world. It looked as if he could deal with the situation with ease if he really wanted to.

“I’ll leave it up to you, then. Thank you for that.

“That said, I have to tell you something.

“If you get hurt because of this…

“I’ll destroy Heaven’s Gate myself.”

Harvey smiled; his casual words were filled with murderous intent. Quill froze, then looked deep into Harvey’s eyes.

“You reassured me, telling me I wasn’t being hasty to pick a side.

“Well, the situation won’t get to that point!

“Don’t you worry!”

Quill laughed while clapping his hands.

“Come, now! Let’s not talk about useless things.

“Spar with me, Harvey! Let me show you what I can do after relearning the Heaven’s Fist for the past few days.”

After a round of sparring, Harvey gave a few pointers on the things Quill could vastly improve on.

Quill couldn’t help but be impressed and stunned by Harvey’s words. He was delighted to have Harvey as his sworn brother.

Quill got Harvey into a car in the middle of the night. When Harvey finally left, his face turned grim.

“Send someone to look after Harvey and his family. Remember, I want them guarded twenty-four- seven,” Quill ordered, narrowing his eyes.

“I understand. I’ll handle this immediately,”

Darwin said after walking out of the shadows. “Are you sure you want to do this for him? This is no small matter-Jakai’s involved! The Vaus family will not stop here…”

A few higher-ups of the Gibson family looked wordlessly at Quill.

“What the hell are you saying?”

Quill’s face darkened instantly.

“Harvey being my sworn brother aside, he solved the curse of the Heaven’s Fist!

“Who’s going to protect him if not me?

“Besides, do you think I’m just playing around?

“Didn’t you hear what he said?

“He’ll destroy Heaven’s Gate if anything happens to me!

“Do you think he can’t do something like that?

“Harvey’s methods, skill, and temperament all prove that he won’t go back on his word.

“Do you really think he’d just say all those things if he wasn’t confident?

“What’s the point of showing off in front of me, anyway?”

Quill didn’t know Harvey for long, but he understood full well Harvey’s modus operandi.

Darwin and the others exchanged glances, not saying a word.

“Besides, I wasn’t lying about Jakai coming to steal my authority,” Quill went on. “He came all the way here to take me out while I was sick. Harvey solved a huge crisis for me!”

Chapter 4746

Chapter 4746

“Besides…

“You just crippled Jakai! Actually, I’d applaud you if you kill him!

“That old fox had been doing whatever he pleases because of his status as an outer elder, and the number of disciples he has.

“Not only did he let his daughter marry an Islander, but he even turned his back on the country for them.

“The sacred martial arts training grounds find him utterly shameful.

“If it weren’t for all those stupid rules we have, I would’ve crippled him myself already!”

Quill didn’t have a good impression of Jakai at all. He chuckled coldly, as if the situation didn’t matter to him.

“I should be thanking you instead.

“That old b*stard only came to take my authority away.

“There are too many Islanders here. There are a lot of benefits to side with them, too.

That was why Jakai planned to support the Island Nations using the Golden Sands’s Heaven’s Gate branch.

“Simply put, I would’ve been killed if you didn’t cripple him!

“Judging from this, I owe you!”

Harvey froze, then smiled. “My ego will skyrocket if you keep talking like that, Quill.”

“Then so be it. This is your achievement.”

Quill quickly gulped the liquor down, then smacked his lips.

“Your analysis was correct, too.

“That bastard has been doing heinous things to people at large for the Islanders.

“He has many enemies in the underworld, too.

“He had a high status and was a skillful fighter. That was why many people wouldn’t dare cross him!

“But I’ve just sent word about his sorry state.

We’ll see if he gets to escape the city alive this time!”

Harvey was impressed by Quill’s decisiveness.

“You’re at the helm of the Golden Sands’s Heaven’s Gate branch, Quill. We’ll both be suspects of what happened to Jakai.

“You should get someone to send him out of here as soon as possible.

“His death wouldn’t matter to us after that.”

Quill froze, then burst out laughing. “I almost forgot about that! Thank you for reminding me, Harvey. I’ll do that tomorrow.”

Harvey chuckled, then quickly changed the subject.

“Jakai’s no threat, but the inner circle of Heaven’s Gate is probably tough to deal with, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if Jakai’s a traitor or not, since he’s still the outer elder.

“Me crippling him is an act of disrespect towards the sacred martial arts training ground.

“More importantly, I forced him to submit with the badge.”

Harvey revealed an apologetic expression. ”

The inner circle would probably give you a lot of pressure for this. I’ll…”

“What are you saying?”

Quill patted Harvey’s shoulder.

“The badge is given to the Gibson family, so we have authority on par with the head.

“If we don’t use it at such a crucial time, are we supposed to wait until we’re dead or something?

“It may seem like a serious situation, but this is something we had to do.

“Honestly, I might’ve been more ruthless than you.”

Chapter 4745

Chapter 4745

“Is that so?

“Why are you so sure I’ll let you go after this, anyway?”

Harvey sent her a profound smile.

“You… You’d dare?! If anything happens to me, Young Master John and Young Master Wright will never let you go!” Ensley roared before turning around.

She felt a little frightened; Harvey’s eyes made her realize that he was more than capable of taking her out.

When she arrived at the parking lot, she quickly pulled out her phone, planning to report the incident to Blaine.

She was holding her phone as she drove.

Reaching a crossroad a mile away from the parking lot, a truck filled with gas canisters suddenly charged forward, crashing right into her car.

Boom!

The canisters blew up-disbelief was written all over Ensley’s face as flames engulfed her.

Ensley wasn’t dead.

However, she was unconscious and heavily injured when she was sent to the hospital.

She was lucky – she managed to get out of danger, but she was destined to be a vegetable for the rest of her life.

And yet, in such a big city, nobody cared about a major celebrity like her turning out that way.

After that accident, she disappeared from the face of the earth.

Harvey didn’t care about her survival. For him, people like Ensley were insignificant.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Harvey went to buy a few barbecue skewers on the side of the road. Then, he instructed Thomas to drive to Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate.

The place was filled with people; most of the disciples of the branch had showed up here.

After an outer elder was crippled, there was an uproar. The storm would surely converge in Golden Sands’ branch.

Harvey’s arrival had garnered quite a lot of attention. Nobody knew what to feel after seeing his arrival. They weren’t sure if they were supposed to praise his skills, or call him insane.

Harvey didn’t care for them. He asked where Quill was, then left quickly with his barbecue skewer.

Quill was seated in a wide and comfy chair, squeezing his two wrist balls, occasionally forming crackling noises. He looked like an ordinary elderly person, tired and old- looking.

However, his eyes immediately lit up with a gentle gaze when he saw Harvey’s face.

“Harvey, sit.”

Quill pointed at the seat beside him, smiling.

The chair was recently put here. Quill was planning to give Harvey a position in the Golden Sands’s branch of Heaven’s Gate.

Harvey put the barbecue skewers and liquor on the table before smiling back.

“I’m sorry about the trouble this time, Quill.

If Heaven’s Gate demands compensation, just direct them to me. This has nothing to do with you, after all.”

“How dare you?”

Quill glared furiously at Harvey. He munched and chugged the food and drink on the table before continuing.

“We’re brothers now! We should be sharing our troubles with each other!

“How do you think I’m supposed to survive the underworld if I left you like this

Chapter 4744

Chapter 4744

“What?!

“He’s the owner of the Golden Studios?

“That’s impossible!”

Ensley didn’t believe those words at all.

Golden Studios wasn’t that well-known in the nation, but it was an extraordinary entity in Golden Sands. The owner of it was surely a prominent figure!

Harvey was just a kept man-a loser! What right did he have to compare himself to such a powerful figure?

What a joke!

“It doesn’t matter whether you trust me or not,” Harvey said calmly.

“I should tell you something, too: both Kaizen Group and Durin belong to me as well.

“Your career will die immediately if I decide to blacklist you here.

“Are you angry? Bite me, then.

“Of course, you don’t have to get that angry yet.

“This is only the first step.

“You’ve been planning to sell out both my wife and my sister-in-law…

“I’d be letting you down if I didn’t repay the favor now, wouldn’t I?”

Harvey smiled gently, but Ensley found his expression terrifying.

Her face turned cold, and she jumped at him and yelled, “Enough pretending, Harvey!

“I don’t know what kind of disgusting relationship you have with Lola!

“I don’t care if you’re the owner, either!

“I’m from Wolsing!

“You can’t afford to go against me!

“You’d be going against Young Master Wright if you do!

“Lola has protection from the Robbins family, but who can you rely on?

“With just a single phone call, Young Master Chiba will make you disappear! Do you believe me?”

Ensley was filled with unbridled rage. Harvey had been constantly ruining her plans. She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she let him go.

“Chiba?”

Harvey chuckled.

“I forgot to tell you something.

“Chiba and Ramon were castrated and had their limbs broken, and then thrown back to their country.

“Jakai, who stood up for them, got crippled as well.

“If you don’t believe me, just give them a call.

“You can decide if you’re going to threaten me or not after that.

“Or rather, are you planning to beg for mercy instead?”

Harvey pulled his thumb and pinky up, signaling for Ensley not to hold back on making the phone call.

“You castrated Young Master Chiba and crippled Elder Jakai? Keep dreaming!” Ensley screamed in fury, then instinctively made the phone call.

Her expression changed immediately. She quickly called a few other people soon after.

Cold sweat started dripping down her face; she shivered uncontrollably.

It was clear that everything Harvey said was true!

The Islanders who were so high and mighty scurried away, trying to buy plane tickets to get out of the city as soon as they could.

This seemed impossible-the entire incident felt like a myth…

But now that the truth was right in front of Ensley’s eyes, she had no choice but to believe Harvey’s words.

“Harvey York!” Ensley showed the last bit of courage she had, glaring at Harvey and gritting her teeth. “I won’t let you get away with this! We’ll settle scores sooner or later!”

Not only did Harvey ruin her plans, but he was even planning to blackmail her. Well, she wouldn’t just watch someone trample on her like that!

Chapter 4743

Chapter 4743

“Not just that, but Golden Studios will never be working with you ever again.

“I need to tell you something else, too: Mordu’s entertainment circle has the same consensus as well.

“Simply put, the entertainment circles from both Mordu and Golden Sands have blacklisted you!

“Tomorrow, we’ll contact Wolsing’s entertainment circle to do the same.”

Lola’s words shocked Ensley.

“What?!

“Blacklist me?!

“You’re going to stop working with me?!

“You’re sending a letter to Wolsing, too?!”

Ensley’s body trembled; her good-looking face was filled with utter disbelief.

“Why?!

“What right do you have to do that?!

“I’m one of the biggest celebrities in the country!

“A lot of people are dying to work with me!

“You even invited me through my manager before! Did you forget that already?!

“I’ve never offended any of you, either!

“Why would you do something like this to me?!”

Ensley lowered her standards just to trample on Xynthia, thinking that she’d succeed no matter what…

After all, she wanted to lend Chiba a hand to force Xynthia into submission.

If she didn’t succeed, Chiba would surely give her a hard time for it.

Thinking how she would turn into an Islander’s plaything for the rest of her life, Ensley instinctively shivered.

She coldly glared at Lola.

“Explain!” she exclaimed without hesitation. “I need an explanation! If not, I’ll settle scores with you sooner or later!”

“Explain?” Lola replied.

“I’ll give you one right now.

“You provoked someone you couldn’t afford to.

“You did something that you shouldn’t have in the first place.

“That’s why you need to pay the price. Is there a problem?”

Ensley’s face went dark.

“Who did I do that to?

“Who would deserve my disrespect?!

“Who has this much power?!

“I don’t believe you!

“Who is it? Speak!”

Ensley’s expression was awful. She was filled with utter disbelief.

“Me.”

Harvey crossed his arms as he walked forward calmly with Thomas.

“You?! Harvey?! Why are you here? Why aren’t you dead?”

Ensley was filled with shock when she saw Harvey show up.

“Who the hell are you?” she exclaimed through gritted her teeth. “So what if I provoke you?”

In Ensley’s eyes, Harvey had no power to influence Lola, even though she was surprised to see him here.

At the end of the day, he was just a kept man -a live-in son-in-law.

People like him aren’t worth anything to Ensley.

Harvey went up against Chiba as well; he was destined to die.

How did he get someone to make Ensley suffer like this?

‘Did he actually hook up with Lola too? Is he really that impressive….?’

“I get it now! You must be hooking up with Mrs. Robbins! You’re dead for sure! You…!”

Ensley looked as if she finally figured out the truth; she was planning to tell this to Saul.

Slap!

At this very moment, Lola took a step forward and slapped Ensley in the face, making her stumble backward.

“Is this a public restroom to you? Watch your mouth!” Lola snarled. She wiped her fingers disdainfully.

“Harvey’s my brother! He’s also the owner of the Golden Studios!

“What do you think of him now?

“Now you see what happens when you go against him!”

Chapter 4742

Chapter 4742

Prince Gibson already hated Chiba quite a bit.

Naturally, he wouldn’t hold back after getting Harvey’s order.

He took action, and had someone to send him some cutlery for torture. Screams of pain could be heard all over soon after.

Jakai fell to the ground on his knees, looking weak.

He hated Harvey, but despair and fear had consumed him completely.

An expert martial artist like him had lost everything.

He was destined to suffer a horrible death at the hands of his enemies. Simply put, Harvey didn’t need to do anything more – he was done for!

Harvey got into his car and crossed his arms, ignoring the screams behind him completely.

People should atone for their mistakes.

As such, Harvey didn’t think that it was horrible for Chiba and Jakai to endure such a fate.

During dinnertime.

Inside Golden Studios’s reception room.

Ensley, who wore heavy makeup, was currently flipping through a contract.

As a first-rate celebrity in the country, she believed Golden Studios would show her respect if she showed up.

Her goal was simple: she wanted to take revenge on Xynthia by taking the latter’s role as the female lead. She wanted to pressure Xynthia bit by bit, and make Xynthia suffer before finally submitting.

After thinking back on what the higher-ups said, Ensley revealed a confident expression.

Her words were gentle yet decisive; before, it was clear she was making threats, but the words she used didn’t seem high and mighty at all.

Aside from her status, Ensley also mentioned her connections with the John family and the Wright family to get her way.

The higher-ups would definitely know how to choose if they weren’t stupid – she was sure of it. If they settled for a second-rate celebrity instead of a woman like her, they would be idiots!

Ensley scrolled past her phone and looked at the news while waiting patiently in place.

Judging from her relationship with Chiba, he was probably going to take out Harvey.

Thinking of the things that would happen to Harvey, she grinned.

But soon, her smile froze.

She had been waiting from six o’clock until nine o’clock. When her stomach began to hurt from all the tea she was drinking while she waited, Lola finally came.

At that moment, Ensley was on the verge of lashing out.

She was quite a huge celebrity; she was always the one making others wait, not the other way around. Compared to the young master of the John family and the Wright family, a descendant of the Hoffman family meant nothing to her!

But when she thought of her plans to deal with Xynthia, she quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then forced out a smile that she thought was charming.

“Hello, Mrs. Robbins! I’m Ensley Johnson.

“It’s a pleasure to work with Golden Studios!

“Thank you for the opportunity.

“I’m sure that with this collaboration, the movie will be a big hit.”

Lola sized up Ensley. She held her nose and stepped back with a disdainful expression, as if Ensley was filthy.

She then instructed the workers to throw away everything Ensley used before spraying disinfectant all over the place.

“Ensley Johnson, right? I’m sorry to break the news to you, but…

“Golden Studios has no intention to work with you.

“Please leave.”
