Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos

“You offended Young Master Padlow just for the sake of a random stranger?”“And then you say he’s the family’s live-in son-in-law?”“How shameless can you get?”“Don’t you care about the family’s reputation?!” Eden screamed in rage.“Don’t you know that we’ve become Blackburn City’s biggest joke, all because of you?!”Eden couldn’t stop himself from rising and slapping Katy in the face.Katy couldn’t react quickly enough, and felt a sharp pain soon after.A bright red palm print could be seen clearly on her elegant, yet swollen face.Valery and several elders didn’t stop Eden at all; they expressed glee when they saw Katy slapped in the face.“I can handle my own problems. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”Katy endured the pain and rage in her, and took a deep breath; she knew her actions would definitely give the second and third house a reason to come at her…Still, she didn’t think that Eden and the others would be this quick to take action.“We’re not teac

“Accept the deal already!”Valery kept whipping Katy; the former’s eyes were filled with resentment and rage.Ever since she was a kid, she harbored extreme jealousy toward Katy, who was always prettier and more outstanding than her.Now that she had a chance to dish out some damage, she would naturally take the opportunity.“Hurry up already!”Katy stumbled back after taking another round of whipping; she almost fell to the ground from the impact.“I’ll never marry Young Master Padlow…” she repeated, her tone steady.She then shot a worried look at the backyard.Since Dean was resting there, it’d be bad if his rest were to be disturbed by these people.“What? Are you worried about the old man? Why don’t you worry about yourself first?”Valery chuckled coldly when she looked at Katy’s eyes.She walked beside Katy and whispered slyly, “Don’t you worry. There’ll be someone taking care of that old man soon enough.”“When he’s dead, we’ll put all the blame on you! Hahahaha!”V

After comforting Katy, Harvey turned to Eden and the others with a calm gaze.He finally knew why Katy wanted him to leave.She understood just how headstrong her family was, and was afraid that Harvey would be put in danger because of her.“Where did this man come from? How dare you hit us like this?!”Valery came to her senses.She stumbled off the ground while covering her injured face.“I’ll kill you!”“I want you two locked behind bars for the rest of your lives! You’ll wish you were dead when that happens!”“You’re Katy’s man, aren’t you?!”Eden crawled up from the ground, his face covered in blood. He gritted his teeth.“You two are a match made in heaven for being so shameless and arrogant!”Eden wanted to fight back, but he could only glare at Harvey in anger. He was terrified of Harvey’s dominant and fierce attitude, so a glare was the only thing he could manage.“Enough! Stop talking to this b*stards and call the cops!”Valery was screaming like a madman, and fl

Half an hour later, Harvey and the others went to the Cobb family’s meeting hall inside the villa.The entire place was built around mountains and rivers; the entire building had a vintage feel to it.Different types of culture were perfectly blended into one; the builders’ ambition could clearly be seen through the immaculate designs.It was a shame the Cobb family was on the verge of falling apart.The meeting hall was about three thousand and two hundred feet wide. An expensive chair was set right in the middle of the hall.Rows of wooden chairs were placed on both sides; it was an extremely lavish sight.Harvey and the others stood still as footsteps could be heard from the back.Six people showed up from behind the hall. After a while, an old lady with white hair stepped out.She was a little small; her back was slightly arched, and she had a cane in her hand. She seemed quite scrawny, but her gaze was very sharp.She had a cold look on her face as she glared at Harvey; h
