Chapter 5704
The inspectors froze, revealing horrible expressions.
At this point, it wasn’t about bailing Harvey…
‘Don’t you understand just how impressive the person in front of you is…?
‘Even the captain was humiliated by him! We don’t dare open our mouths in front of him!
‘And yet, you look as if we’re taking advantage of him?! What a joke! We wouldn’t dare!’
Whitley frowned.
“Did you forget what I told you?” she snapped coldly at Harlan. “All you talk about is bailing him out! He lives in your villa that I bought with my own money! How ignorant can you get?”
She then smiled at the inspectors.
“Can you give us some space to talk?”
The two instinctively glanced at Harvey; seeing his calm expression, they walked out hesitantly.
Harlan took a seat in front of Harvey, and started to speak. “What happened, Harvey? You need to tell me, so I can fix the problem.”
Facing Whitley’s disdain and Harlan’s worry, Harvey came to his senses.
“Thank you for caring about me, Uncle Harlan, but I’ll be out of here in a few minutes. You don’t need to do anything for me,” he said.
Before Whitley could reply, Billie scoffed.
“Can you stop bluffing already? Do you really think you’ll be out of here soon? Next, you’ll tell us that Captain Freddie will beg you to leave!
“People should be down to earth! How can you not understand that? I don’t get why my dad sees you as an honest and good person.”
Whitley scoffed as well after hearing Billie’s words. She finally saw just how much her daughter despised Harvey.
Hearing those words, Harlan’s expression turned awful.
“Enough, Billie! Harvey must have his own reasons for saying all this. Maybe the Surrey family’s already coming to help.”
Harlan started getting a little confused.
He instinctively looked at Harvey.
How did his nephew get together with the Surrey family’s fifth lady? The two were from completely different worlds, after all.
“The Surrey family? They belong to the four great tribes! Why would they even help an outsider like him? Are they planning to ruin their reputation?” Whitley sneered.
Her lips curled in disdain. She stood before Harvey, looking down on him with an icy gaze.
“Enough nonsense, Harvey.
“Honestly, your uncle wouldn’t be able to save you without my help. If you agree to leave our family alone and stop harassing my daughter… I can get you out of here.”
Naturally, Whitley believed that this was her best bet at keeping her daughter away from Harvey.
If she missed such a golden opportunity, it would be hard to publicly cancel the arranged marriage between them.
