Chapter 4661

“What?!”

Penny Jackson gasped in disbelief.

On the one hand, she did not expect the Braff family to have such a huge problem.

On the other hand, she did not think that Harvey York could tell the problem with just a glance.

Even Eliel Braff curiously looked at Harvey.

Naturally, he had taken an interest in Harvey’s methods and prowess.

Watson Braff’s eyes twitched after hearing those statements.

“How is this possible?!

“The family will be in dire straits in three months?!

“Is this a joke?!”

Eliel waved his hand.

“This is my fault.

“I should’ve left the place by now, but I wanted to preserve the property out of my feelings for home…

“I didn’t think I’d get everyone else involved because of this…

“This is my mistake!”

Then, Eliel looked at Mr. Davis.

“Do it then, Mr. Davis.

“Blow up the house if you have to. Bury me alive if you must.

“But I have one request: please don’t let my children get involved in this when everything’s done.”

Naturally, Eliel had already said the same thing to all the experts he brought here.

It would be hard for him to feel a little disappointed now.

“That’s right! Do what you have to do, Mr.

Davis!” Penny exclaimed, completely ignoring her surprise.

“Only you can save the family now!

“The family has to be in one piece! Grandpa Eliel as well!”

Penny was completely worked up.

Eliel smiled.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.

“The Hermit Families stand together. The family will surely be in one piece.”

“I’ll do what I must, but I have something to say!

“Before I take action, I’ll have to lay out the risks.

Mr. Davis showed a stern expression.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s geomancy arts or astrology arts!

“To put it bluntly, we need to suppress that gloom!

“That said, the family’s already shrouded by it at this point!

“I can disperse it. I can hold it down, but I can’t guarantee it would change your luck after that…

“If everything goes bad, the family wouldn’t even last for three months!

“Simply put, it is still a big risk.”

Penny froze.

“How confident are you in solving the issue?”

Mr. Davis showed a stern expression before holding out two fingers.

“Twenty percent. Maybe thirty…

“I can’t do any higher.”

“Twenty to thirty percent?

Eliel let out a chuckle.

“That low?

“Let’s just give up on that idea then.

“Even though we only have three months left, it should be enough for the family to arrange things.

“After all, barely surviving is much better than total destruction!”

Eliel did not know what sort of trouble would befall the family…

But he could already sense that someone was targeting them.

If their luck were to run out, their enemies would surely take the opportunity to swallow them whole!

Watson froze.

“How is that possible…?

“We only have three months left?

“How?!”

Chapter 4660

Harvey York’s calm words completely froze Penny Jackson in place.

She stared with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to see through her trouble immediately.

She instantly changed expression before showing a fierce glare.

“You b*stard!” she exclaimed.

“Have you been following me?!”

Harvey let out a chuckle.

“I’m not interested in a woman like you.

“I’ve never even met you before today.

“Where would I even follow you?

“What would I follow you with?”

Penny froze before letting out a cold scoff.

“I admit, you do have some talent, but you’re definitely not on Mr. Davis’ level!

“Geomancy arts are no match against astrology arts anyway!

“With the bit of skill you have, you’re completely inferior!”

Harvey calmly smiled.

“Enough of this nonsense. Get your bishop to do his job already!”

Eliel Braff and Watson Braff curiously looked at the sight. After all, it was quite interesting pitting geomancy arts against astrology arts.

Besides, Penny had always been a princess figure of the Hermit Families.

It was their first time seeing Penny get embarrassed like this.

Penny coldly glared at Harvey before walking toward Mr. Davis and whispering to his ear.

Mr. Davis did not seem to mind the situation.

He smiled faintly after hearing Penny’s words, then waved his hand before the people behind him started to spread out.

Tarot cards, crystal balls, planetariums, holy grails, and other special trinkets were produced.

Based on the designs, it was clear that they were all antiques regarded as magical weapons.

Then, Penny glanced at Harvey when the items were set in place.

“You’ve never seen these things before, have you?

“Are you scared?

“Are you shocked yet?

“I’ll tell you something! The Holy See’s methods are beyond the limits of your imagination!

“The set of Tarot cards alone contains secrets you can’t comprehend!

Penny showed a prideful expression.

“How can you go against Mr. Davis like this?!”

“The house is just filled with a bit of gloom.

“I can tell with just a single glance.

“There’s no need for random equipment unless someone’s compensating for their lack of skill.”

“Oh? You can tell just by a glance?

Penny showed a noncommittal look.

“You didn’t even bring a compass or the Centennial Book!

“And you’re telling me that you can tell the problem of the house?!

“You must be just spouting nonsense so you’d get our attention!

“I told you, Grandpa Eliel! We can never trust conmen like these!

“Don’t buy into his words! Do you understand me?!”

Even before Eliel could speak, Mr. Davis started muttering words with Tarot cards in his hands.

“There’s a big problem, Mr. Braff. There’s been an apparent gloom of energy that’s declining in the house!

“I suggest leveling the house immediately!

Blow it up and move out if you have to!

“If not, the family will be in dire straits within three months!”

That said, Mr. Davis was a talented man despite his fees.

It was said that he managed to suppress werewolves from Russia, river deities from the Island Nations, and other beings. He was quite a powerful man.

For his protection, many Western royal families would use a large sum of gold to hire him annually as a consultant.

The world’s top wealthy families would also ask him to determine their luck.

Western arts like this have entirely different theories and systems than Country H’s geomancy arts, but Watson Braff felt a lot more confident after seeing Mr. Davis’

appearance.

“I met Mr. Davis while I was still studying in the West.

“That was why I asked him to come take a look.

“That said, he came with his team without questioning a single word!

“Many royal families wouldn’t even get his support even after wearing out their mouths!

“The bishops of the Divine Prison aren’t just pushovers, after all!”

Eliel Braff did not seem to be that surprised.

“You’re too kind,” he said, smiling faintly.

Harvey York glanced at Penny Jackson, thinking that she was actually quite the passionate woman despite her reserved appearance.

‘She’d use such an important connection for her elder… Not bad.’

“This is the Fortune Hall’s best expert, Harvey York.

Eliel pointed at Harvey with no intention of hiding him.

“Since he’s here to look at the house, I’m afraid we’ll have a competition.”

Watson smiled.

“Oh, Penny! Don’t underestimate him for being young too! He’s a well-renowned geomancy expert!

“The entire upper social circle of the city prides themselves on meeting him!”

“Really?

“He’s also here to challenge Mr. Davis?

Penny glanced at Harvey with a doubtful gaze before showing a derisive expression.

“Surely he doesn’t know that much about geomancy arts if he’s that young. 2 “Besides, he probably wouldn’t be able to take a single slap from me.

Harvey’s eyes twitched when he instinctively took a step back.

It was not that he was scared of Penny. He had a completely different impression of the reserved woman at that moment.

If she actually threw hands at Harvey and got hurt because of it, it would be a little disrespectful toward Eliel.

Penny scoffed after seeing Harvey step back in fear.

“You see! This guy’s scared!

“He has no chance against Mr. Davis!

“Besides, the country’s geomancy arts are just filled with lies and deceit!

“I heard a lot of experts already looked around the place before!

“It’s been so many years, but none managed to change the family’s luck!

“If it’s up to me, I would’ve kicked him out of here already.

“He shouldn’t be allowed to embarrass us here.”

Penny was disgusted, as if she was ashamed by the appearance of a conman in her own country.

Harvey casually glanced at Penny before smiling faintly.

“A bright forehead, a beautiful gaze, bright red face, and extremely fine pores…

“You’ve been having some luck with the opposite sex, but it should be a pretty bad one!

“If I guess correctly, you found out that the man pursuing you also had a wife, infuriating you to the point where your menstrual period went completely out of whack.

“If your bishop’s that impressive, then why don’t you ask him to deal with that for you instead?”

Chapter 4658

After hearing about the Jackson family’s good relations with the Braff family, Harvey York immediately understood.

This was the only Hermit Family that he had not encountered so far.

It was fate for him to be meeting one of them here.

Harvey smiled before speaking.

“That’s fine. Since an expert from the West is here, we should all have a look.

“I heard that astrology arts are also pretty impressive.

“Maybe the expert could fix the house.

“Not bad. Not bad at all.”

Eliel Braff patted Harvey’s shoulder once again. He was quite satisfied with Harvey’s attitude and tolerance.

The three walked out of the courtyard before seeing a dozen men and women come forward.

The group leader was a gentle-looking woman with an extremely reserved attitude.

She wore a dress with dark blue patterns, making her seem relatively modest.

She would occasionally take huffs of her bong before blowing out puffs of sweet- scented smoke.

A westerner in a robe was seen beside her.

He was a tall and strong man in his thirties.

He had bright blue eyes, fair skin, and an arrogant look.

A dozen other westerners were also following behind, all wearing the same robes. They were also carrying small leather cases with all sorts of trinkets inside.

“Grandpa Braff, this here is the bishop of the Holy See and also the top student of the seminary, Mr. Davis.

“Not only is Mr. Davis quite well versed in the Bible, he’s also quite proficient in astrology and exorcism.

“He once helped the French royal family’s younger generation change their entire course of destiny when they were supposed to die young!

“I believe he’ll be able to solve the Braff family’s problems!”

After seeing the reserved -looking woman stepped forward to introduce the person beside her.

Eliel froze.

“This is Mr. Davis, the bishop of the Holy See and the Divine Prison?”

Mr. Davis showed a proud expression. He also did not expect the people from a country with such a long history to hear of his name.

“Hello, my respectful Mr. Braff. I’m happy to be of service to you all!

“I heard that the Braff family was a part of royalty in the past. I usually give my services to people of the same status as well.

“I have a lot of experience in terms of this!”

“This is impressive, Penny!”

Watson Braff could not help but nod in front of Penny Jackson.

After all, the Divine Prison was an essential department of the Holy See. There were twelve bishops in total, all with immense authority.

Mr. Davis was the leader of the twelve bishops. His subordinates were all top students who graduated from the seminary.

Not only were they well-versed in astrology arts, but they were also proficient in exorcisms!

Legends said there would occasionally be beings spawning from evil that would all be suppressed by the Divine Prison.

This alone showed just how powerful Mr.

Davis was.

That said, he seemed to be a peculiar character. He was extremely obsessed with gold. Even though he was a bishop, he usually ran around for errands, asking for two hundred ounces of gold every time.

Chapter 4657

Chapter 4657

“No matter how impressive Colson is, he’s still just the second young master!

“In the younger generation of the John family, Blaine is the only one who holds weight.

Harvey York had no intention of hiding anything.

“Not only is he a direct descendant of the family, he’s an extremely talented person with exceptional martial arts.

“More importantly, I suspect he’s the most important figure of Golden Sands related to Evermore.

“It’s a little troubling to deal with him because of that.

“I let go of Colson and show him my cards for one reason.

“I wanted him to know that there aren’t many people in the younger generation who could go against someone like Blaine.

“But I’m definitely one of them!

“If Colson wants to rise to power, he’ll surely provide me with enough information!

“As soon as he calms down, he’ll understand I’m the best person to suppress Blaine.

Harvey smiled faintly.

“From this perspective, not only would Colson not betray me, but he’d also do everything in his power to help me.

“I can even use him to gather every secret on Blaine.”

Eliel Braff frowned slightly.

“Easier said than done!

“With Colson’s power, it’d be hard for him to fool Blaine!

“In my eyes, destroying Blaine would be so much easier than this.”

Harvey chuckled.

“It’s just a simple move; we can always give it a try.

“It’d be good if this works.

“But if it doesn’t, I’ll just have to take action myself.

“There’s no rush anyway, right?

“After all, we need patience to lure in bigger fish.

“Besides, I’m not just trying to get Blaine here. I’m here for the whole of Evermore!

Harvey showed a serious expression.

“Evermore is the root of everything.

“Blaine means nothing here.”

Eliel seemed indifferent. He stepped forward without expression, then patted Harvey’s shoulder and nodded. He finally acknowledged Harvey at this point.

The simple move was enough to show that he was thoroughly convinced.

Watson heaved a sigh of relief.

“I told you Harvey’s impressive, Father!

“Now do you believe me?

Eliel nodded.

“Is it fine for him to take a look around now?”

Right as Eliel was about to nod, a gentle voice echoed from outside.

“Where are you, Grandpa Eliel?”

Eliel showed a faint smile after hearing that voice.

“It’s Penny Jackson.

“I heard she used her connection with the Jackson family to find an expert for the house.

“Come. Let’s take a look.

Then, Eliel glanced at Harvey with a smile.

“The Westerners’ astrology arts are also pretty impressive.

“You should experience this yourself. Maybe it’ll help with your skills as well.”

“Sir York, Penny Jackson is the lady of the Jackson family, one of the Hermit Families.

She had been studying in the West for the longest time,” explained Watson Braff quietly.

“She only believes in astrology too.

“I really didn’t know that she brought an expert here today. I’m terribly sorry about that…”

Chapter 4656

Chapter 4656

Watson Braff looked at Harvey York, hoping he would pay Eliel Braff respect.

Harvey showed a smile before stepping forward.

“Mr. Watson…”

Before Harvey was done speaking, Eliel indifferently glared at him.

“Your geomancy arts isn’t as good as I thought, kid…”

Harvey froze.

“Me?”

He was impressed by Eliel. After all, that was the exact truth.

He was well-versed in the art of killing and not geomancy arts.

Watson jumped in shock.

“You can’t say that, Father! Harvey’s geomancy arts is best in the city…”

“You do everything indecisively. You get scared of every tiny detail. You care about showing off, yet you’re afraid of causing trouble for yourself after that…

“You don’t even know how to gauge your enemies’ luck. You can’t even tell if you can afford to go against the people you challenge or not…

“And yet you tell me that you’re a geomancy expert?

Eliel showed a dignified look when he casually glanced at Harvey.

“So, what right does a person like you even have to help the family?

Harvey froze before he finally understood.

Eliel had already gotten someone to look into him while he was on the way here.

In the eyes of the upperclassmen, Harvey’s methods were too unsophisticated and indecisive. That was why Eliel looked down on him.

“If you can’t even complete such small tasks efficiently…

Eliel crossed his arms while looking at Harvey.

“Then, what right do you have to help the family?

“You’re here to help with your geomancy arts?

“Do you think you’re even worthy of that?”

Eliel’s calm gaze looked as if it could see through anyone’s heart.

Ordinary people would have given up instantly after being looked at by those eyes.

Harvey gave some thought about the situation before speaking.

“Geomancy arts isn’t about power. It’s about priority.

“Many times, leverage is a lot stronger than strength alone…

“Removing the opposition’s strength before finally taking action. Wouldn’t that be a lot easier?

“Geomancy arts is just a process of taking advantage of situations.

“After all, a good strategist would usually win battles with fewer resources.

“I think some people don’t deserve my full power.

“All I need is just a good strategy and a bit of effort.”

Harvey’s calm words carried unspeakable confidence against Eliel.

“You’re confident you could take control with such trivial efforts?

Eliel showed a faint smile.

“In my eyes, you’re just being hesitant…”

Watson heard the conversation before realizing they were talking about Colson John.

He was just curious. No matter how impressive Colson was, he had no right for Eliel to be talking about him.

Even someone like Blaine John would not make him bat an eye.

Why would he be so focused on a mere second young master of the John family?

That said, Watson was brilliant. He could not wrap his head around the conversation, but still, he quietly waited for a conclusion from the two.

After sensing Watson’s curiosity and Eliel’s laid-back attitude…

Harvey knew he would not get a chance to help the family if he did not explain himself.

Chapter 4655

Chapter 4655

After seeing the massive rivets pushing the door open, Harvey York could not help but feel impressed. As expected, the less wealthy were still richer than poor families.

It was already quite discreet for the Braff family to call the ancestral house that.

This place must have been the royal palace, after all.

That said, the house was only one-tenth of Wolsing’s Forbidden City.

That said, the Braff family stayed here because of their immense authority and the Wright family’s admiration.

It was only natural. The Braff family’s ancient dynasty was the country’s very last.

The Braided Dynasty belonged to the people who invaded the country after that, so it didn’t count as an official dynasty for the country itself.

Under such a strong background, it was only normal for the Braff family to stay here.

Soon, the car was parked in front of an exquisite courtyard.

The place was quite spacious. Bright red walls and floor tiles were also seen all over the place. No renovation would be needed if someone were to film old-school movies here.

The place did not contain any evil energy at all…

That said, a sense of gloom could be felt.

It was as if there was an intense energy that resided in the place before, but it had been completely replaced since then.

That said, the Braff family could still hold its ground as the head of the Hermit Families.

But once the gloom dissipates, the family would probably…

Harvey frowned without saying a word.

After all, he was not sure where the gloom even came from.

Watson exited the car before waving at the two uniformed men with loaded firearms.

Then, he brought Harvey inside after that.

The courtyard was not that big, but it was filled with all sorts of twists and turns. The design was quite extravagant as well.

All sorts of beautiful rocks were placed around as decorations, making the courtyard seem like an entrance to the royal palace.

There were a lot of guards placed around as well. They were all hidden in the shadows of the buildings, coldly glaring at everyone who passed by.

Harvey took a few glances. He figured out that not only were the guards all expert martial artists, but they were also proficient with modern firearms.

It was clear just how the Braff family was to be able to keep this many experts around.

Soon, Watson took Harvey to the side of a pond in the middle of the courtyard.

A calm breeze and gentle sunlight could be felt, putting anyone here at ease.

There was a small gazebo near the corridor of the pond.

A man crossed his arms while occasionally tossing out a few fish pellets, causing the golden carp in the pond to scramble around.

It looked as if this was how the man passed his time.

Harvey glanced over. The man was at least in his sixties, but an unspeakable aura could still be sensed coming from him.

It was clear that he was none other than the first-in-command of the Golden Sands’

government, the head of the Braff family, Eliel Braff!

Without using any geomancy, Harvey could still tell that Eliel had an incredibly immense status judging from his aura alone.

Watson and Soren Braff would not even come close compared to the man.

Watson waited until Eilel was done tossing the pellets before stepping forward.

“Master York’s here, Father.”

Chapter 4654

Chapter 4654

Harvey York did not mind much about Colson John.

He was not planning to kill off Colson.

After all, Alma John and Silas John were both from the John family.

There would definitely be a massive uproar after two members of the family died.

Blaine John, who had been extremely cautious, would probably not take any action for the time being.

That was why Harvey needed someone like Colson.

He believed Colson would deal with the situation neatly, even just to save his skin.

That was why he left without stirring a ruckus.

Harvey could not be bothered about Colson’s resentful and vengeful emotions either.

Rather, those feelings were his driving forces.

Maybe he would even fight to the death against Blaine because of this.

Harvey felt quite thrilled after thinking about it.

It mattered not whether Colson was from Evermore or not.

He only cared about how Blaine would eventually handle the situation.

Of course, Kairi Patel was trailing behind him as well.

Harvey had nothing to worry about at all.

After leaving the restaurant, an Audi A8 parked on the side slowly drove over. The window rolled down before revealing Watson Braff’s face.

“You got everything done, Sir York?

“Do you need any help with the cleanup?”

Harvey showed a faint smile.

“Thank you for that, but the John family should be able to deal with it.

“We don’t need to get ourselves involved.”

Naturally, Harvey knew that Watson was helping him from behind the scenes. When gunshots were fired, nobody was even close enough to hear them.

“If that’s the case, I won’t ask about it anymore.

Watson tactfully changed the subject.

“You got time today?”

Harvey frowned before he was reminded of something.

“Do you want me to look at your ancestral house?”

Watson already talked about this before, but Harvey had never gotten the time to visit.

“I’m sorry, Sir York. The house has been really off recently.

“The old man wouldn’t leave the place either.

“If this weren’t the case, I wouldn’t be bothering you right now.”

Naturally, Watson knew that Harvey and Kairi had been dealing with Evermore. This would also benefit the interests of the Hermit Families.

That was why he felt a little embarrassed asking for Harvey’s help at such a crucial time.

“Enough of this, Watson.

Harvey pulled the door open before sitting in the passenger’s seat.

“Your family’s problems are mine too.

“Besides, sparing a day or two wouldn’t be much trouble, no matter how busy I am.”

Watson showed a face of admiration.

“Thank you for this, Sir York. I feel a lot less embarrassed now.

“That said, our friendship aside…

“You need to take your payment as well when we’re done. Got it?”

Then, Watson started the car before it steadily drove off.

The car was headed to an old district of the city.

The place was deemed the royal district since ancient times. Ordinary people would not be able to set foot here.

After driving on the fairly spacious gravel road, the car passed an extremely magnificent-looking gate.

Chapter 4653

Chapter 4653

Alma John did not think her presumptions were wrong.

Rather, she believed that she saw through the truth.

In her eyes, Harvey York was nothing.

As for what she did to Mandy Zimmer, she knew that Mandy could not do anything about the situation anyway after it was already set in stone.

‘What is she going to do? Change the past?

‘Impossible!

Alma proudly called Mandy in front of Harvey again.

Only another busy tone was heard. In the end, nobody answered.

She even sent texts over, but she did not get any replies at all.

A red exclamation mark could be seen on the chat log as well.

At that moment, Alma finally came to her senses!

She was blocked!

The good friend who had been listening to her beck and call blocked her!

‘How dare she?!

‘She has no right!

Alma was enraged.

She snapped out of it before furiously glaring at Harvey.

“I know now!” she exclaimed, gritting her teeth.

“It’s you!

“You twisted the truth and kept fanning the flames to Mandy! That was why she blocked me!

“You’re just a heinous man who’s been trying to pit us against each other since the beginning!

“That said, you should know we’re good friends no matter what happens!

“You’re just a live-in son-in-law who got kicked out of the family! You’ll be dead if you even try anything funny!

Naturally, Alma was sure that Mandy blocked her because Harvey slandered her.

“I won’t argue with you since I’m in a good mood!

“Grovel and admit to your faults, then go as far away as possible!

“A live-in son-in-law like you has no right to be involved with the top-rated families !

“You can’t even afford to do that!”

Harvey completely ignored Alma, who was clowning herself in front of everyone, and crouched down before patting Colson’s face.

“You thought about it yet?

“If you want to die, slam your head on the ground already. I don’t want to dirty my hands here.

“But if you want to live, then you better show me some loyalty.

“We’re all experienced people here. You know what I mean, don’t you?”

Colson constantly nodded before pulling out his firearm. Under Harvey’s calm gaze, he instantly pointed the gun at Alma.

“What are you doing, Colson?!

“Are you mad?!

“Are you just going to do whatever this filth tells you to?!

“Did you turn into one of his lackeys or what?!”

Colson shook his head. Even without Harvey’s orders, he had longed to take out the woman for the longest time.

Bang bang bang!

A few gunshots were heard.

Alma screamed in pain. All of her limbs were shot when she wailed on the ground.

“Try to be smarter in your next life. Your stupidity cost you this one.”

Colson stepped forward before placing the firearm barrel on Alma’s head.

Bang!

Along with the sound of the gunshot, Alma’s face was filled with resentment and disbelief when she slowly stopped breathing.

“Not bad. Interesting…” said Harvey calmly.

“You can leave.

“But remember what I told you. Let me know Blaine’s every move through the designated email I gave you.

“I want to know how many meals he eats, how many gulps of water he takes…”

After hearing Harvey’s calm tone and watching his figure as he left, Colson’s eyes twitched.

He knew he was completely controlled by Harvey when he pulled the trigger.

Unless he could find someone to take out Harvey…

He would have no other choice but to obey his every move!

He was just a lackey!

Colson was resentful. He was the second young master of the John family, but he suddenly became a subordinate to a live-in son-in-law. That said, he had no choice but to heave a long sigh.

The winner is always in the right after all.

Chapter 4652

Chapter 4652

“You’re only going against me because of the Jean family!

“You’re nothing once they oust you from the family!”

In Alma John’s mind, Harvey York’s courage came from the Jean family.

If not, he would not have dared to challenge the John family.

After all, the only people who could go against the top ten families were other members of the top ten families.

Harvey smiled faintly with a playful gaze.

He did not intend to explain himself to such a heinous and pompous woman.

“I’ll tell you, Harvey! Mandy wanted it herself!

“She and Silas love each other with a burning passion!

“It’s useless for an ex-live-in son-in-law like you to be jealous!

Alma regained her arrogance when she fiercely spoke up.

“When Mandy gets a lesson to learn right from wrong, everything will pass!

“She’ll forgive me!

“She’ll come to thank me even!

“And how dare you hit her good friend and go against the John family with the Jean family’s strength?!

“You’re finished! You’ll end up horribly soon enough!

“I want to see just how you’d show off after that!

“We’ll see how you take advantage of me then…

‘You’re just a damn live-in son-in-law! You think you’re actually impressive or something?!’

Clearly, Alma believed she had an immense status.

No matter what she did to Mandy Zimmer, along with the fact that everything was already set in stone, Mandy would surely forgive her and chase Harvey out of the family once she begged for forgiveness.

Alma pulled out her phone with a prideful expression before dialing a few numbers.

Soon after, a lot of busy tones were heard.

She was showing a horrible look on her face.

“Enough clowning around, Alma!

After seeing Alma challenging Harvey, Colson John could no longer hold his feelings back.

“Kneel! I order you to kneel and apologize to Sir York!

“Beg for his forgiveness!

“If not, you’re dead for sure!”

Colson wanted to shoot Alma down so badly.

He had seen quite many ignorant people…

But it was his first time seeing such a talentless yet oblivious woman!

“Kneel?

“To Harvey?

“Do you think I would do such a thing?

Alma was filled with disdain. To her, Harvey was just a live-in son-in-law flaunting someone else’s power.

How could she apologize to someone like that?

Let alone kneel?

The idea was just utterly absurd to her!

“Why are you scared of this useless filth, Colson?!

“He’s just a live-in son-in-law! He’s just using the Jean family’s name to show off!

“Blaine John wouldn’t allow you to abuse the John family’s powers willy-nilly, but you’re still the second young master of the family!

Why would you even be scared of the Jean family?!

“If you’re that scared, I’ll call Mandy later!

When she takes that power away, Harvey will be finished!

“He’d be no different than a stray dog without the family’s support!”
