“How did that happen? I heard that you were very fond of Mrs. Whitley Smith.” Jordan wrinkled his forehead. He was too shocked to hear the news.
“Didn't I ask you to talk about your identity to Mrs. Smith months ago? I thought you already said that.” Harvey shook his head slowly. “I didn't. That woman doesn't deserve to know.” Harvey glanced quietly at Jordan. “She's been having an affair with another man.” Jordan was stunned. She was speechless after hearing Harvey's words. For now, he didn't know what to do. He could only see how stern Harvey's expression was in the face of this situation. This was quite puzzling, and it even replayed in Jordan's mind. “Why would a woman throw away a general like this? Is that woman stupid?” The atmosphere became quiet. Jordan needed to break the silence. “General. So, are you able to return to the war?” Harvey turned his head without replying to Jordan's question. Jordan took a breath. “Will you be returning to your position, General?” Jordan gave Harvey an expectant look. Hoping that Harvey would give him the answer he wanted. Three years ago, Harvey left his post to live like a civilian. That was how William Smith found him to be a commoner. Harvey glanced at Jordan's cat-like gaze asking for food. However, Harvey firmly refused. “No, no, no. I will remain a civilian.” Jordan frowned. Harvey was no longer tied to Whitley and the Smith family. Why would he not want to return to his position? This was enough to make Jordan confused. It had been a long time since Harvey had enjoyed this kind of leisure time. Jordan carried Harvey's bag. "General, let's go to your villa." Jordan led Harvey to his lambo car. Then he opened the door for Harvey. They both climbed in and sped off to Harvey's villa. It was a large house. It was the villa that Harvey had abandoned, but was looked after by Jordan. They both entered the house. Harvey placed his bag on a chair. He did not sit down immediately. He turned to face Jordan. Jordan stood tall in front of him. “What is it, General?” Harvey looked at his subordinate very casually. “Later, someone will report me to the police. Soon, there will be police looking for me.” Jordan immediately furrowed his brows. “Huh? Who would dare do that to a general? How rude of him! I'll teach them a lesson.” Harvey slightly looked at the back of his right palm. There was a trace of blood there. Then he looked calmly at Jordan. “That's the work of my wife's mistress.” Jordan narrowed his eyes. In her opinion, it was something that should not be done to someone as big as Harvey. Harvey exhaled. “Leave it alone. I want to see what he can do. Besides, I want to take revenge at them more viciously.” Jordan was silent for a moment. Harvey stared ahead with a very cold face. If there was a fire in front of him, it would probably freeze instantly. Jordan loved that stare, a strong stare from Harvey. During the war, Harvey had often seen his comrades and men die. He would stare coldly like this if he was going to take revenge. And when he did, the enemy would be wiped out. Jordan swallowed. “All right, General. I will prepare everything. Anyway, do you need anything else, General?” Harvey sat down. “I want to rest. Go on.” Jordan nodded respectfully. Then he slowly left the place. After he closed the door, he was sure that something big was going to happen. Because he had seen Harvey getting serious about doing something. The next day, morning came. Harvey was eating the breakfast provided by the maid at Jordan's house. It was a morning meal that was enough to energize and warm up the body. Harvey savored it slowly. A moment later, Jordan came over with a document. “General, this is exactly as you said.” Jordan laid out the documents for Harvey. “There really was a report about your crime. That person reported you to the police.” Harvey wasn't very interested in the documents. “So?” Jordan pulled back the document. He took a breath. “They took the easy way out. They have some police contacts at the central police station. By giving those cops a little money, they think they can get you arrested. They've also lined up a good prosecutor.” Harvey nodded. “Then we'll repay their bad deeds.” Moments later, Harvey and Jordan headed to the downtown police station. It was a large place with several buildings and a large training center. Harvey and Jordan are walking from the parking lot to the main building. Currently, they wanted to meet one of Jordan's acquaintances who was inside this office. Just then, a white BMW suddenly stopped in front of them. Slowly, the window of the car opened. A head with sunglasses smiled dimly at Harvey. His lips were turned up one side, and this person's face was quite annoying. The man named James raised one eyebrow. “Oh, you even came to this place yourself to turn yourself in? Look at this loser. In these shabby clothes, you want to fight Mr. Andreas Brown. You'd better bow down and break your own nose in front of Lord Andreas. Maybe he will rethink about your punishment.” James gave a small chuckle. He deliberately teased like that to provoke Harvey. Harvey did not bother about this. “Tell your lord to bow down and lick my feet so he can be free.” James' laughter immediately stopped. His face became grim. He angrily got out of the car and slammed the door. His breathing became heavy and short. He glared at Harvey and pointed at his face. “This bastard... how arrogant of you to say that.” Harvey replied with a casual look despite the man's glare. Instead, the man turned his gaze to Jordan. Unlike Harvey, Jordan's clothes looked neater as he was wearing a suit. He pointed at Jordan. “Is it because of this man that you've become arrogant, loser? This won't change the fact, you'll still be arrested and rot in jail! Because of what? Because you're a rat in a dumpster. Haha!” Hearing that, Jordan's blood rose. He took a step forward to hit this man. However, his steps immediately stopped when he saw Harvey raise his palms up to his face, gesturing for him to stop. Harvey tilted his head. “So you're the one Andreas hired? You turned out to be quite problematic.” The laughter on James' face faded. He furrowed his brow with emotion. It was infuriating to hear the word problematic come out of Harvey's mouth. Harvey could see the change in expression. It was a sign that James was responding to his words. “You got 400,000 dollars from the Brooks family to take care of the family's drug scandal. Your career as a lawyer will be instantly ruined if that case goes public.” James glared. The muscles in his neck popped. “Shut up!”

Marylin stared at the clock on the wall, which seemed to tick slowly in her eyes. The long hand had already passed twelve, but the guest she was waiting for had not yet arrived. Her breathing was labored. She began pacing back and forth in front of the table, her steps quick and irregular.“Oh dear...” she muttered softly, almost like a worried groan.Her index finger rose to her lips, unconsciously biting her fingernail. Her face flushed red—a mixture of nervousness and annoyance.Billy, who was watching from the sofa, sighed and stood up. “Marylin, what's wrong? You look like you've lost something.”Marylin looked at Billy in panic. Her cold hand immediately grabbed her husband's wrist. “Don't you see the time? The party started an hour ago! But Vanessa and Harvey haven't shown up yet!”Billy reflexively looked down at the watch on his wrist. The short hand had already touched the number nine. His face tensed.He took out his cell phone, his thumb quickly pressing Vanessa's contact.

When Marylin said that, rhythmic footsteps were heard from the direction of the door. An elegantly dressed woman with an open shoulder cut stepped closer with a handsome man beside her. The sparkle of jewelry around her neck reflected the light from the crystal chandelier, causing several guests to glance over.The woman smiled sweetly, but there was a hint of showiness in her every movement. She was Sonar—Vanessa's cousin who had previously sent her a text message.“Auntie, I was surprised you suddenly threw a party like this,” she said, looking Marylin up and down. “My husband and I even cleared our schedules immediately.”She turned to the man who was proudly holding her arm. “Right, honey?”The handsome man Sonar was holding only smiled slightly. He pressed his lips to the rim of a crystal glass and took a sip of champagne before speaking. His gaze was cold as he glanced at his wife.“Yes. I postponed today's meeting to come here.”His tone was calm, but it contained a subtle pres

Classical music played softly throughout the Reid family home that evening, filling the air with an air of luxury. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow onto the marble walls, while the aroma of wine and fine food mingled in the air.Marylin stood in the center of the main room, watching the arriving guests with a satisfied smile. The small party she had planned turned out to be more like a family gala.The guests arrived dressed in their finest—some wore handmade suits and shiny Rolex watches on their wrists, while others were busy discussing stocks and new projects. From the tone of their voices and the way they laughed, it was clear who had come to socialize and who had come to show off their wealth.Marylin stepped gracefully into the middle of the room, her dress reflecting the light like the surface of sparkling water. The diamond necklace around her neck glowed softly with her every movement, as if enjoying the party too. Her earrings dangled beautifully, emphasizing the satisfi

Vanessa closed her tired eyes. She leaned back in the makeup chair, her head slightly raised, staring at the white ceiling above her. The shadows of the studio lights reflected in her half-open eyes. A day of work had left her mind in turmoil—too much dialogue, too many cameras, and now... thoughts of her mother.Without her realizing it, a man stood at the side of the dressing table, holding a makeup brush. The man was flamboyant in appearance, with thin eyeliner and shiny lip gloss that matched his silver-dyed hair. He shook his head slowly, looking at Vanessa as if he were looking at a wayward student who had just given up on life.“Vanessa,” he said, patting her hip lightly. “You know, this is still a workplace. It's not good to have that kind of expression on your face, dear. The cameras aren't off yet, but your aura has already dimmed.”Vanessa suddenly opened her eyes, startled as if she had just awakened from a long daydream. She immediately straightened up, sitting with her u

Marylin and Billy were still frozen in place. Their eyes were glued to the table, which was now covered with gold, diamonds, and jade that reflected the morning light. The glare was almost blinding, but neither of them wanted to blink—as if afraid that it was all a dream.Marylin swallowed hard. Her voice caught in her throat. These things... were too real to be a trick, but too luxurious to be believable.The jade bracelet on the table caught her attention. Her fingers trembled as they touched its cool, smooth surface. The stone seemed to pulse softly in her hand, as if it were alive.Billy just stood stiffly beside her. His eyes darted around, staring at the pile of boxes and the light reflecting off each gem. His breathing was slow and shallow.Marylin turned, looking at her husband with a face that was turning pale between awe and horror.“Honey...” her voice was almost a whisper, as if afraid the gifts would disappear if she spoke too loudly. “Isn't this...”The sentence hung in

After dinner ended, everyone left the VVIP room. The atmosphere that had been tense was now silent. They parted ways in front of the hotel-without many words.Vanessa's parents were still grumbling, especially Marylin who was upset that she didn't get what she wanted.Meanwhile, Vanessa walked beside Harvey. She held his arm tightly, but her face looked awkward. She looked at Harvey from the side-a man whose face remained impassive, as if nothing had happened at the dinner table."Didn't I say I would take care of this myself?" Vanessa frowned. "Why did you even show up, Harvey?"Harvey relaxed his gaze slightly. His steps were firm and steady as they walked out of the hotel door. The night lights reflected off the glass, highlighting the silhouettes of the two walking side by side."I just wanted to show you my brave side," Harvey said softly without turning around.Vanessa gave a small nod. There's a slight smile at the corner of her lips-she understands what Harvey means. The male
