Chapter 5316
“You’re finally here, Harvey!”
Saul Robbins stood up excitedly before pouring him a cup of tea.
“What’s up?
Harvey York dived right into the topic.
“Did something happen to the company?”
Saul shook his head.
“The company’s fine. The Golden Garden’s been having a lot of sales too…
“But Lola’s in trouble.”
Harvey squinted.
“What do you mean?”
Saul took a deep breath.
“Let me tell you everything that happened.
“You should know that Lola belongs to the Hoffman family.
Harvey gave a slight nod. He naturally knew that.
He also had good relations with one of the family’s powerhouses, Mordu’s first-in-command, Benjamin Lynch.
“Three days later, the Hoffman family will hold an event here.
“The goal is to gather all the Hoffman family and research the family’s business plan for the next ten years.”
Harvey frowned.
“Why not do that in Holcomb instead? Why here?
“Based on the city’s state of affairs, this is inappropriate now, isn’t it?”
Saul heaved a sigh.
“I’m to blame for this.
“I blurted all about what happened to the city after getting drunk that one night.
“Lola was worried that something would happen to us, so she tried to get her family to give authority over the event. After that, she decided to hold it in Golden Sands.
“Her goal was to use her family’s strength to push against the John family.
“She wanted them to feel pressured.
“She wanted them to hold themselves back.”
Harvey pondered about the situation.
“I must admit, this might be a good opportunity for us.
“The Hoffman family is one of the top ten families, just like the John family.
“Once the family holds their event here, the John family has no choice but to cooperate. That way, their strength will be shaved off by quite a bit.
“Besides, to appear to be maintaining the peace, the John family wouldn’t disrespect the Hoffman family either.
“After all, they suffered quite a considerable loss in Heaven’s Gate.
“That way, the Patel family and the six Hermit Families will have more time. After we clean up and restructure Heaven’s Gate…
“The John family would take a huge blow when you’re all united, right?”
“How insightful!
Saul slapped his knee.
“I didn’t even have to explain anything to you!”
“This is a good thing though. Then, what seems to be the problem?” asked Harvey.
Saul’s expression darkened.
“Lola’s been working on this for days.
“But on this morning, something happened to her.
“She said that she needed some rest but never got back up after that.”
Harvey’s body shook.
“She died?!”
“Shush! Don’t say that!
Saul shook her head.
“She’s not dead, but she sure looks that way.
“I called her up for food when it was almost noon…
“But she didn’t wake up no matter what.
“I thought she was too tired, so I didn’t mind, but it felt odd.
“I used all sorts of ways to wake her up to no avail.
“I finally got the family doctor to help.
“The doctor said that her vitals were normal and she was just in deep sleep.”
