Category: Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 4411

Chapter 4411

Darius Jackson was an upperclassman. He remained calm the whole time before he spoke.

“I know you mean well, Director Failes!

“I know you’re trying to amend your mistakes for doing this!

“But you can’t be causing trouble like this!”

Darius was showing a cold expression.

“Besides, we already lost all hope of the hospital, let alone the so-called genius here!

“Please leave right now!”

Mrs. Jackson was filled with rage.

“Out!

“All of you!

“If it weren’t for you people, my daughter would’ve been wide-awake by now!

“If she dies because of this, I’ll settle scores with each of you!”

Harvey York was not aggravated since he understood where Mrs. Jackson was coming from.

“Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, I seriously think there’s something wrong with this man.

“It’s best for you to trust me.”

“Is that so?

“You’re still trying to show off in front of us?

Mrs. Jackson showed a cold expression.

“You’re a young man, yet all you know is just to pretend!

“Where do you think we are?!

“This isn’t a place for clowns like you to show off!

“You can fool others, but you think you can fool us that easily?!

“Thank goodness we have equipment here as well! We would’ve bought into your lies if not!”

The crowd lightly nodded after hearing those words, thinking Mrs. Jackson had a good point.

Chana Jackson’s vitals were back to normal.

Why would there be a problem with Waylon Sacket, then?

Darius did not lash out like Mrs. Jackson but showed a cold glare while waving his hand, signaling for Maren Failes to take Harvey away.

“If you really don’t trust me, then I’ll just leave your daughter be.”

Waylon showed a prideful expression.

“I do want to see who else can fix such a troublesome situation other than me!”

“We don’t welcome you here!”

“Leave right now!”

Mrs. Jackson’s eyes twitched.

“Out! Out!”

Waylon showed a cold smirk after seeing the sight.

Maren frowned.

“Mrs. Jackson, we…”

“Director Failes, do you really want me to hold you accountable ?! I’ll strip you from your position if that happens!

Mrs. Jackson furiously screamed. Obviously, she was irked by Harvey’s actions.

“And you, little b*stard! Are you deaf?!

“Get out of here right now!

“Stop trying to show off!”

Maren heaved a sigh.

She wanted to speak up for Harvey, but Nova Anderson’s incident was too disappointing.

She did not dare to continue.

“I’ll leave, but let me say something.

Harvey was unfazed by Mrs. Jackson’s attitude.

“Waylon’s using the Devil’s Hand.

“It can bring a person back to life, but only temporarily.

“Ms. Jackson will seem normal for about half an hour, but she’ll gradually lose her life force.

“In just twenty-four hours, she’ll die without a doubt. Even God wouldn’t be able to save her then…

“If you still don’t believe me, you can just keep Waylon here for a few days after Ms.

Jackson recovers. Then, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not…”

Chapter 4410

Waylon Sacket’s movements were slow and steady.

Everyone could clearly tell Chana Jackson regained the color on her face soon after. Her breathing also seemed to be back to normal.

The equipment around kept beeping as if she was just about to recover.

Maren Failes felt relieved after seeing the sight.

“As expected from a man of this caliber!”

Harvey York frowned while he glared at Waylon’s movements.

Right when he was about to tap on Chana’s stomach, Harvey immediately spoke.

“Stop!” he coldly exclaimed.

“You need to stop this right now!

“Are you trying to kill her or something?!”

Waylon’s body shuddered, causing him to miss.

He angrily glared at Harvey afterward.

“Where did you learn the Devil’s Hand?” asked Harvey coldly.

Waylon’s eyes twitched with a horrible expression after hearing those words.

‘How could he tell what I was doing?’

He learned the trick all the way back from Seed Frontier. The Devil’s Hand could temporarily bring back a person on the verge of death, making it seem like the person actually recovered.

This was one of the methods the Seed Frontier used to torture criminals. The technique had been long lost.

Even people from the sacred martial arts training grounds would be unable to recognize this, but Harvey did…

Darius Jackson instinctively looked back before furiously glaring at Harvey.

Who are you?! Why would you stop Waylon from saving my daughter?!”

“This is Harvey, Mr. Jackson!”

Maren was mad that Harvey suddenly spoke out of jealousy, but she still spoke to explain his case.

“He was the one who saved Chana during the car crash. That was why I brought him here.”

Darius felt sightly relieved after realizing that fact…

That said, a prideful and righteous gaze was still showing in his eyes.

After all, Harvey seemed a little too young, just like Nova Anderson. That was why Darius could not trust him at this moment.

The other members of the family instinctively glared at Harvey, as if they were looking at a fraud.

“Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson. Since you asked me here, then you should trust me!

“You asked another doctor to disturb me at the most crucial moment?

“What’s the meaning of this?!

Waylon quickly lashed out with a furious look on his face.

“Besides, it doesn’t matter if you get a few experts here…

“But you even brought a damn child?!

“You’re embarrassing me here!

“You clearly don’t trust me!

“If you don’t throw him out of here right now, I’ll stop this immediately!”

Waylon walked to the side of the bed with his arms crossed. He was just standing there with a sagelike appearance, as if all this did not matter to him.

Maren’s eyes twitched after seeing the sight.

“Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson, Harvey isn’t a fraud. Even Mr. Braff…”

“Enough!

“Mrs. Jackson is upset!

“I won’t make you take responsibility for the sake of your ethics, Director Failes!

“That said, you haven’t even given me a statement for Nova, yet you bring another man here?!

“Are you looking down on my daughter?!

“I’ll shut the damn hospital down with just a single phone call if I have to!”

Maren shook her head in panic.

“I didn’t mean to, Mrs. Jackson…”

Chapter 4409

Chapter 4409

Waylon Sacket pressed on Chana Jackson’s wrist before moving his fingers away while squinting.

After a few minutes, Darius Jackson could not help but speak.

“What happened to my daughter?

“Can she be saved?”

The Jackson family had an immensely successful business but did not understand the martial arts field.

Darius also had no time to look for a so- called expert from the sacred martial arts training grounds. He already put all hope in the man his wife brought over.

“This is bad! Really bad!

Waylon frowned with a stern look on his face.

“The young lady only got into an ordinary car crash, but she’s also been practicing in hidden martial arts, causing her energy to surge out of control…

“The energy would usually be able to strengthen her body…

“But now, this has become her deadliest poison!

“This is very bad!”

Darius’ expression instantly darkened.

“Even you won’t be able to help her?” he asked.

“Not quite.

Waylon stroked his beard, smiling faintly.

“I’m saying it’ll be a little troublesome to deal with the young lady’s situation…

“I’d need at least ten years’ worth of energy to calm hers down.

“I’m old now. It’s extremely difficult to gather all this energy. I have a lot of enemies in the underworld as well…

“If I waste ten years of my energy here, I’m afraid…”

Harvey froze before he sized up the man.

‘Is it that hard to do it?

‘Why would he even need ten years’ worth of energy for this?

‘He’s definitely trying to fool the people who don’t know martial arts…’

Since Waylon looked like he actually knew what he was talking about, Harvey did not bother exposing him.

After all, it would be normal for him to ask for more if he could actually save Chana.

While Harvey was grumbling about Waylon in secret, the people from the Jackson family looked at each other before they were showing looks of admiration.

Darius stepped forward.

“Chana’s my dearest daughter, Waylon! You need to help her!

“If you’re willing to do this, we’ll do our best to compensate for your efforts!

“For ten years, we’ll pay you fifteen million yearly!

“If you do save her, you’ll also have our full support from now on!

“You can live the rest of your life in peace! I will not let anyone hurt you!”

Darius handed over a check.

Mrs. Jackson also stood up.

“When Chana recovers, I’ll even make you her godfather! Nobody will stand in your way with the Jackson family’s support!

“We have authority here in the city!”

Waylon was satisfied with Mrs. Jackson’s words of reassurance. He casually kept the check and put his medicine box down before grabbing the bottle of alcohol inside.

“Of course! Since you’re being so generous.” he said while rubbing his hands with alcohol.

“…”

“I’ll do my very best!

“I’ll calm Ms. Jackson-no, my goddaughter’s energy right now!

“She’ll definitely wake up!

“Give me half an hour!”

White smoke was appearing in between Waylon’s fingers. At this very moment, he looked just like an expert.

The entire family was ecstatic.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Waylon reached out before patting Chana on her head.

Then, he proceeded to tap on different parts of her body.

Chapter 4408

“I’m no doctor, nor do I have any medical skills, but I can bring Chana Jackson back just like I did yesterday.

“I can even fix your asthma too. That one’s pretty easy anyway.

Harvey smiled.

“That said, you need to mop my floors after that.”

Maren Failes showed a cold expression before scoffing.

“If you can bring Chana back and stop Mr.

Jackson from burning down our hospital, I’ll even be your personal maid!”

Naturally, her pride would not let her give in to Harvey that easily…

But she had to admit that Harvey was probably the only person who could save Chana at this moment.

Harvey shrugged.

“Excuse me, but you don’t have the right to be my maid.”

“What did you say?!

Maren was boiling with anger.

“I’m good-looking, have a good attitude, highly educated, and have an impressive background! How dare you say that despite all this?!”

Harvey casually peered out the window.

“My only maid is Arlet Pagan.

“I’m not exactly happy with her….

“But letting you become my maid is simply disrespectful toward her.”

Maren could not come to her senses after hearing the name, but something finally came to mind after a while.

Arlet was the lady of the Pagan family.

‘She’s Harvey’s maid?!’

An unspeakable thought came to her mind.

She was filled with utter disbelief after hearing those words.

That said, she knew Harvey was right if this was true!

The car arrived back at Oak Crest Hospital at lightning speed.

The entire hallway to Chana’s sick room was placed with bodyguards every seven feet apart.

A dozen people were walking around inside.

One of them was an anxious-looking middle- aged man with an extremely powerful aura.

The other was a mature yet beautiful woman standing beside him.

Harvey immediately recognized the two people.

After all, he had looked up pictures of the two prominent figures before coming here.

Chana was lying on the sick bed with a face as pale as paper. The equipment around her indicated that she was in a dire state.

Chana’s life was hanging on a thread. She literally could die at any minute.

As soon as Harvey was about to speak, an elderly man in a robe stepped forward.

It was hard to tell exactly how old the person was, but he had a head full of white hair and the aspect of a wise sage.

He put two fingers on Chana’s wrist before he started to tremble.

Maren spoke after seeing the confused look on Harvey’s face.

“Mrs. Jackson used her connections to get this well-known doctor. I think his name is Waylon Sacket.

“It’s said that he can always work a miracle.

As long as he’s willing to help, any dead person could be brought back to life.”

Harvey lightly nodded. He could not recall such a prominent figure, but he could probably tell he was experienced based on his looks alone.

After all, everyone knew what would happen if anyone tried to fool Darius Jackson at this very moment.

Chapter 4407

Chapter 4407

Nova Anderson was completely beaten up by Mrs. Jackson before a few security guards dragged her away. She burst into tears. She felt nothing but regret, but it was already too late.

Maren Failes got Harvey York’s phone number as soon as possible before asking for his address.

Harvey was sitting in front of Fortune Hall.

While he was still waiting for his tea to boil, Maren had already rushed inside.

“You?”

Maren froze after seeing Harvey’s face. She did not expect that he was the one who saved Chana Jackson.

That said, saving Watson Braff’s life was enough to prove his ability to Maren. No matter how prideful she was, she had no choice but to speak.

“Master York, right?” she said while biting her lip.

“Chana’s in trouble. Nova gave her blood, and now she’s in a bad state.

“We tried everything, but she’s hanging on a thread right now.

“At this point, she’ll only last for half an hour at most.”

‘Nova gave her blood?’

Harvey froze. He did not expect that Nova was actually that bold.

He did not even know she would be this reckless against the legendary Jackson family Harvey quickly hopped in Maren’s car before showing a curious look.

“I thought the Jackson family was the one inviting me.”

Naturally, Maren’s appearance was quite surprising to Harvey.

Maren shook her head while she steered the car.

“Nova fooled us all, but she still belongs to the hospital.

“Her actions made Ms. Jackson in a worse state. She also completely enraged Mr.

Jackson and the entire family.

“Not just me, they probably won’t trust you either.

“The Jackson family is using their connections to find an actual doctor to save Ms. Jackson.

“I didn’t want to cause any more trouble, but I still hoped you’d save Ms. Jackson. On the one hand, I believe that you actually have the strength to do such a thing…

“On the other hand, I’m hoping to mend my mistakes with your help!

“After all, I have a big responsibility for being a wrong judge of character.

“I can’t just ruin the entire hospital and the staff because of my mistakes.

“Ultimately, we all want Ms. Jackson saved.

“Nova was just the bad apple that ruined the entire basket.

“Of course, I’ll accept whatever happens in the end.”

Naturally, Maren was not just a half-baked woman. She was an actual doctor with morals and ethics. She would not allow the worst to happen while she sat back and watched.

“Not bad. You’re pretty interesting.

Harvey calmly smiled.

“That said, you must’ve forgotten something. I’m no doctor. I don’t have any medical skills of the sort.

“Let me remind you…

“All I know is the art of killing.”

Maren’s hands trembled before she furiously stepped on the gas, gritting her teeth.

“I’ll crash the car right now if you keep joking around!”

Harvey felt speechless after seeing the car speed up.

“I know you don’t believe me for telling the truth…

“But at least let me finish.”

Chapter 4406

Darius Jackson seemed a little relieved after hearing those words.

Then, he glanced at Nova Anderson with a serious expression.

“Please! You need to help Chana!

“Save my daughter! If you do, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty million dollars upfront!

“You need to help us!”

The medical staff were twitching their eyes after hearing those words.

They would not even be able to earn that much money, no matter how good they were with the scalpel!

And yet Nova already had such a significant exposure after tending to a patient once.

It was clear that she had exceptional talent!

“I’ll…

“I’ll do my best….”

Nova’s eyes kept twitching before she mustered up the courage to stand beside Chana Jackson.

She tried recalling what Harvey had done before putting her trembling right hand on Chana’s chest.

She could not move a single inch after feeling Chana’s quivering body.

She knew she could live the rest of her life in endless glory and riches if she managed to save Chana…

But if she failed, she would have a fate worse than death if someone were to expose her!

She was only in her twenties. She never had the chance ever to use the money Darius gave her.

She refused to die!

She would most likely screw up just by pressing anywhere on Chana’s body!

Besides, even she herself was unsure where she was supposed to be pressing…

If…

If…

Darius frowned after seeing Nova’s look on her face. He realized that there was something wrong.

“Do you think a hundred and fifty million isn’t enough?!

“I’ll give you 1.5 billion if that’s what it takes for you to save her!”

Nova finally understood the significance of Chana’s life to the family.

The Jackson family would sacrifice everything just for her.

That said, Nova was just a charlatan…

She could not handle the pressure any longer. Her entire body trembled when she fell to the ground, crying.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…

“I didn’t save her…

“I can’t…

“It was Harvey York who did it!

“I just wanted fame and money…

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

The crowd was dead silent. The medical staff blankly looked at each other. They could not wrap their heads around the situation.

Why did the genius become a fraud in just a short moment?

The change made everyone downright sluggish.

Maren Failes’ body swayed before darkness started to envelop her eyes.

She also had a huge responsibility for mistaking Nova for a genius.

Darius’ face darkened instantly. He had been in the business industry for many years, yet this was the first time someone dared to fool him like this!

Mrs. Jackson was filled with utter despair.

“You b*tch!

“You b*stard!

“How dare you use my daughter’s life to fool around?!

“Do you want to die?!”

Mrs. Jackson completely lost control. Her elegance of a wealthy lady was gone entirely. She charged forward before kicking Nova to the ground and slapping her in the face.

Chapter 4405

Chapter 4405

“What are you doing, Nova?!”

Maren Failes exclaimed after seeing the lethargic look on Nova Anderson’s face.

“The patient’s in a bad state!

“You need to do something!

“You’re the only expert martial artist here!

“We can’t do anything about the energy in the patient’s body!

“You’re the only one left!”

Nova’s eyes frantically twitched before showing a horrible expression.

“Martial arts wouldn’t be able to deal with the patient’s degrading symptoms, Director Failes…

“You should get another person to help…”

Nova wiped the sweat off her face, secretly applauding herself for coming up with an intricate lie.

Maren’s expression changed instantly.

“Nova!

“This is no time to joke around!

“I know that you’re trying to be discreet ! I know you don’t want to show too much in front of everyone!

“But I swear that we only admire your abilities! Nobody has any jealousy toward you in the first place!

“We’re all doctors here! We’re duty-bound!

“Don’t doubt us here!

“More importantly, you brought Ms. Jackson back to life even when she was on the verge of death!

“Why can’t you just do the same as what you did before?!

“You need to stop joking around! Stop trying to hide yourself!

“Save the patient!

“None of us will survive if Ms. Jackson actually dies!

“You should know that she’s not an ordinary patient! She’s the lady from one of the Hermit Families!

“They can lift you up the same way they put you down!”

Nova’s eyes frantically twitched after hearing Maren’s disappointed tone.

“It’s not that I don’t want to, Director Failes!

It’s… It’s…” she replied with a face of despair.

Even before Nova was done talking, Darius Jackson and his wife immediately kicked the door open with a few bodyguards.

“What’s going on with my daughter, Director Failes?” asked Darius quietly.

“Why did it turn out this way?

“Didn’t you say that she’s been stabilized ?

“You said it’ll be fine after she gets her surgery an hour later!

“Why did this happen?!”

Darius’ eyes were completely red when he started screaming in anger.

Mrs. Jackson almost tripped over after seeing the pale look on Chana’s face.

“You said there was no danger!” she exclaimed while trembling nonstop.

“How did this happen?!

“Why did this happen?!

“Is my daughter done for?”

Maren took a deep breath.

“Don’t worry, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson!

“Don’t forget!

“With Nova’s experience here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

“You’re still trying to talk me up now?! Is this a sick joke?!” exclaimed Mrs. Jackson.

Maren’s eyes twitched before she squinted at Nova.

“Nova! Help Ms. Jackson right now!

“I’ll even hand you my position if you do!

Then, she glanced back at Darius.

“Please calm down! You need to have patience! Nova took your money after all!

“We’ll definitely save the patient! No exceptions!”

Chapter 4404

Chapter 4404

At the same time, the entire Oak Crest Hospital was in utter chaos.

Chana Jackson’s situation was still relatively normal an hour before, but everything turned awry after that.

All signs on the indicators were constantly showing red numbers.

Loud beeps were heard non-stop, panicking every single person nearby.

“What is it? What’s going on?”

“She was fine just before!”

“How did it turn out like this?!”

Maren Failes was halfway through her lunchbox before running over with an anxious look.

“What happened here?”

“We… We don’t know either!”

“We’ve been looking after the patient.

Nobody touched her at all! Even the liquids we injected were what you instructed us to!”

“The patient must be in a bad state right now, but her vital signs are plummeting for some reason!”

“We need to perform the surgery now, Director Failes! We can’t wait any longer!”

The doctors were drenched in cold sweat while they kept spouting suggestions.

They all knew it would be terrible if Darius Jackson’s daughter died here.

“It’s too dangerous. It’s too risky to perform surgery right now…”

Maren showed a horrible look on her face when she looked at the date. A moment later, something red could be seen in the corners of her eyes.

“Who gave her blood?!” she exclaimed after rushing forward.

“Who’s been messing around here?!

“Don’t you know that the patient here is a martial artist?!

“Giving her blood would make her body go chaotic! This is dangerous!”

Maren furiously pulled the blood bag down.

Her head started to spin when she saw only half of the bag’s remaining.

“We…”

“We don’t know!”

“We only injected everything as you instructed!”

“Someone must’ve put this here intentionally…”

“Did someone put the wrong thing here?”

The doctors looked at each other with sluggish expressions.

Maren looked at the blood bag while pressing it onto Chana’s heart before sighing.

“It’s good that it’s not as serious.

“We need an expert martial artist to calm Ms. Jackson’s energy. Everything will go back to normal after that.

“We’ll have to get Nova here right now!

After making the deduction, Maren quickly rushed into the sickroom Nova Anderson was in.

“We need your help to calm Ms. Jackson’s energy, Nova! We need to perform surgery on her this instant!”

Nova’s face was filled with nothing but fear.

Her uniform was completely drenched in cold sweat.

She did not say a single word, but she already regretted her decision.

Half an hour before, she got worried that something would happen to Chana during surgery that she would not be able to help with. She snuck in a blood bag after thinking about what Harvey had said earlier.

She thought Chana would just die then and there, but not only did that not happen, she was in danger immediately after.

It was as if she was asking to be put in the spotlight!

Nova felt nothing but utter regret.

She wanted to slap herself for putting the blood bag with the other liquids.

If she had not done that, she would have gotten all that money for herself already….

Chapter 4403

Chapter 4403

Harvey York froze. Things just got interesting for him.

He reached out for Kairi Patel’s phone before glancing at the news.

“Lady of a Royal Family Hanging on a Thread. Genius from the Anderson family to the rescue!”

Harvey did not know what to feel after seeing the picture below. It was none other than Nova Anderson herself.

The content was written quite realistically, but the actual story was completely outlandish.

Nova was praised as a martial arts expert and a genius of eastern medicine.

Along with her discreet attitude, nobody expected she would take action to save Chana Jackson at such a crucial moment.

According to the insider scoop…

Nova reluctantly received a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from Darius to keep him from worrying.

He even announced that he would reward Nova with fifteen million dollars, a villa, and a sports car once his daughter recovered.

He wanted the genius who saved his daughter to keep doing her job.

The entire internet was in an uproar. Along with Nova’s pretty face, she immediately became well- known throughout Golden Sands.

She would receive tons of money as donations if she started streaming.

Safe to say that Nova really hit the jackpot that time.

Harvey could already imagine the sight of Aunt Anderson calling Lilian Yates just to show off.

After heaving a sigh, Harvey put the phone down before sipping his tea.

“As expected from you.

Kairi picked up her teacup after seeing that Harvey had no interest in the wine before him.

“Fifteen million is definitely nothing to you….

“But it’d be good to get closer to Chana.

“Aren’t you mad about it at all?”

“There are some things you just can’t force in this world,” replied Harvey with a teacup in hand.

“It’s better to be an honest person.

“If all she thinks is to steal other people’s credit…

“She’ll suffer once the truth is out.”

Kairi froze before smiling faintly.

She did not expect Harvey to be this experienced despite his young age.

Since the two had some wine before, Kairi invited Harvey for a walk after their meal.

“Actually, it’ll significantly help our goal with Darius’ trust.

“The Jackson family isn’t the most capable of the six Hermit Families, but they’re the richest.

“If we’re talking solely about money, the John family and the Patel family can’t even compare.

“It’ll be much easier to deal with Evermore if Darius stands with us. After all, money is also power.”

Kairi spoke after briefly thinking about the situation.

Harvey showed a faint smile.

“We’ll just go with the flow.”

Evermore was quite troublesome to handle, but not to the point where Harvey needed to plan ahead just for them.

The Jackson family was not as important in his mind either.

Kairi did not say another word after hearing the confidence in Harvey’s voice. Then, she called a van before getting Harvey inside.

Right when the two had left, the window of a Maserati parked not far away rolled down.

Silas John’s handsome face was showing an odd smile inside the car while glaring at pictures of Harvey and Kairi chattering away on his phone.

“You gave me the chance, Harvey. Don’t blame me for this…”

Chapter 4402

Chapter 4402

“Well…

“About that…”

Nova Anderson frowned. In reality, she was not even half as good as they thought she was. How would she even know what kind of condition Chana Jackson was in then?

Obviously, she was not able to answer the question.

She quickly thought of something to say before she squinted at the couple.

“Mrs. Jackson, even though I wanted to say everything will be fixed…

“But that solely depends on the surgery itself.

“I’ve already done what I could. I have no control over what happens after.”

Nova’s words were enough to push away all her responsibility instantly.

She wanted to say that she had already brought Chana back to life and that whatever happened next would depend on the doctors.

Mrs. Jackson felt uneasy after hearing those words.

“Well… will my daughter still be in danger after this?

“She’s going to wake up tonight, right?”

“Alright! Stop bothering her already!

Darius immediately cut off his wife before Nova could even say anything.

“She was the one who brought Chana back to life!

“Her condition’s been stabilized! There’s no way she’d be in danger!

“You’re doubting the genius here! That is disrespectful!”

Then, Darius gently looked at Nova.

“You’d treat my daughter after this, right?

“Please! No matter what it takes, I need her back!

“Don’t worry! We’ll reward you generously as long as you help!”

Darius politely shook Nova’s hand.

Nova felt her head extremely numb after sensing the powerful aura surrounding Darius. She had no choice but to play the part and nod her head.

Maren Failes smiled after hearing those words.

“How about this? To ensure that you perform your best, you should take a short break.

“I’ll ask a few doctors to look after Ms.

Jackson.

“We’ll start an hour later.”

Nova’s gaze started to drift while her mouth was twitching.

“Right. I’ll have some rest for now. For the time being, please take care of Ms. Jackson!

“I’ll settle scores with you if anything happens to her!”

Nova quickly turned around before showing a horrible look.

***

Eight o’clock at night.

Inside the Golden Sands Hotel.

Harvey York and Kairi Patel sat in front of each other before ordering a few set meals to celebrate Harvey’s return.

Kairi showed a faint smile when she opened a bottle of Latour wine. Right when she was about to pour Harvey a glass, her phone started ringing.

Kairi wiped her fingers and looked at the screen before she frowned.

“The car crash is on the news.

“As expected from you, Sir York.

“The person you saved is Chana Jackson.

She’s a wealthy lady who just returned from her studies. Her father is Darius Jackson, the head of one of the Hermit Families.

Harvey lightly nodded without paying much mind.

Even if Chana were some sort of princess, he would not care that much anyway.

Kairi’s finger was scrolling past her phone screen with an odd expression when Harvey poured her a cup of tea.

“Too bad. Someone stole your credit.”
