James' eyes bulged. The words said by Harvey had really gone too far. It was something that shouldn't be talked about here. James was very sensitive when it came to that.
James clucked his tongue. “In the end, today is your last day of free air.” Jordan wrinkled his forehead. He wanted to punch this guy, but Harvey wouldn't let him. Jordan was annoyed that James was acting so much when he didn't even know who he was dealing with. It was different with Harvey. Harvey had been silent all day while staring calmly at James. He didn't even blink and didn't answer anything James said. No one knew that Harvey was enjoying the plot that James was about to play. James turned around slowly while continuing to stare at Harvey. “Either way, you're going to jail. Enjoy this fresh air, which you can only breathe for a few minutes.” The man haughtily walked into the police station. Meanwhile, Harvey was still standing there looking at him without responding. Jordan narrowed his eyes slightly. “A very arrogant man. Let me teach him a lesson later, general.” Harvey only glanced over. “Just do as I ask. Let's go in.” Jordan restrained himself. He followed Harvey into the police station. There, it turned out that from a distance James was already talking to a policeman with his eyes wide open. James noticed the presence of Harvey and Jordan and pointed at them while shouting. “There he is! Arrest that bastard and put him in jail immediately!” The overwhelming arrogance was still on that face. Jordan clucked his tongue. James' arrogant voice could be heard throughout the room. Many people's attention was drawn to them. However, Harvey didn't care. He and Jordan stepped closer. James began to raise his lips. Then he burst out laughing. “Look! This loser is getting closer. He will definitely turn himself in. Either way, he'll be caught soon and feel the chill of the bars.” The cop who had been talking to James took a step forward while frowning. He looked familiar with Jordan's appearance. The cop was sure that he was someone important. The cop turned to James. “So he's the one.” James nodded. “Yes, he is the man, Mr. Wright. Someone who has committed an offense. What's more, the person he molested is not a random person. Throw him in jail and give him a severe sentence.” Several policemen stood up. However, before they could take a step, a person wearing the most number of star badges came to the spot. Suddenly the policemen stopped and saluted. Wright approached the man. “Commander Piers, why have you come here? Is there anything we can help you with? All you have to do is call us and we'll be there.” Wright held his breath. Someone as important as Commander Piers had come here so suddenly. The commander was a very strict person, Piers felt the need to behave in front of him. Commander Piers glanced at everyone who was standing there. “Which one of you has the name Mr. James Rocks?” James with a big smile raised his hand. “That's me, Commander.” Commander Piers turned his head. “Oh, it's you.” James stepped closer. In his mind, he was flattering himself. “Even the police commander came here just to see me. He must already know my achievements in the legal world.” James glanced at Harvey while giving a sly smile. He raised the left corner of his lips. A taunt to belittle the person he considered to be trash. James felt proud of this. “Commander, I didn't expect you to come here in person to see me. You must have heard about my abilities. I am very honored by your visit. And I've already given you a report on that man.” James pointed at Harvey. His sly smile illustrated how he wanted to make Harvey look really bad. “He is a very bad man. He assaulted the victim at a family party. The victim suffered a broken nose. With the existing law, he will be punished severely. If he's not punished soon, he'll definitely do something bad again.” Then James excitedly turned to Commander Piers. “And I'm very grateful that you listened to me. You must recognize me by my expertise in the cases I've handled, it's an honor for me to meet you.” James reached out his hand to shake Commander Piers' hand. However, Commander Piers quickly dismissed the hand. Instantly James furrowed his brow. He was puzzled by the attitude Commander Piers gave him. Commander Piers glared at James. Then he glanced at Wright. “Arrest James Rocks. Quickly!” Wright opened his eyes wide. “Arrest James Rocks?” The police officers looked at each other. They were confused by the sudden order. James certainly didn't understand what was happening. His facial expression turned into panic. “You want to arrest me? Shouldn't Harvey be the one arrested? He committed the crime! He committed assault, he's a criminal!” Wright and the other policemen nodded. Wright wrinkled his forehead. He was quite confused by this situation. He didn't know where to move. “Commander, isn't what Mr. James said true?” Commander Piers gave Wright a sharp look. “You guys are so stupid. Quickly arrest this lawyer! He has taken bribes, embezzled funds, and helped get drug dealers off the hook. All the reports have reached me!” James Rocks glared. He didn't know how this person could say such things. However, James had indeed been involved in these cases. He turned to Wright so that he could convince him not to arrest him. However, Wright was already approaching and preparing to grab his wrist. Quickly, James dismissed Wright's hand. He then tried to run away from the place. Unfortunately, the other police officers immediately tackled him until he fell. Then they all crushed James' body to immobilize him. James shouted angrily. “You can't do this! I've contributed a lot to the laws of this country. This country needs me. You've got the wrong guy, it should be Harvey you're imprisoning! Hey!” Even though James was yelling at Commander Piers, the commander paid him no mind. He stepped towards Harvey and Jordan. He stood tall before them. “Welcome, Mr. Jordan. It is an honor to meet you.” Jordan smiled and nodded to Commander Piers. He made a hand gesture not to be too uptight. Commander Piers glanced at Harvey. From the looks of it, Harvey's appearance was that of someone from the suburbs. However, the look in his eyes was very different. Looking at his position standing in front of Jordan, this person named Harvey must be someone Jordan respected. Commander Piers immediately came to the headquarters because of Jordan's call. Jordan was a person that Commander Piers respected. Of course, with Harvey present, Commander Piers should also respect Harvey more. Commander Piers exhaled slowly. He needed to be calmer. “Welcome to headquarters, Mr. Jordan. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll take care of this right away.” Jordan nodded. “Alright, I'll leave it to you, commander. Also, some of them are coming. Arrest them all and punish them severely.” Commander Piers nodded. “Of course I will. I'll catch the rest and deter them with the punishment.” Harvey glanced at James. The man was still trying to break free even though his hands were now held by two policemen. When he was stood up and about to be dragged away, he glared at Harvey. “Commander! Why are you doing this? Do you know those scum?” The Commander immediately turned to James. “Shut up! You two, drag this trashy lawyer and throw him in jail immediately! The thugs in the jail will love the meat of a drug dealer like him!” Commander Piers was very upset that Harvey was called trash by James. The two cops quickly dragged him away. Leaving Harvey and Jordan behind. Harvey then turned to Commander Piers. His face was calm, but his gaze was piercing. “All right, Commander. I'll leave their business to you. Give him and the others a severe punishment.” Commander Piers nodded. “You can count on me.” Harvey and Jordan turned around. They left the place quietly. Meanwhile Commander Piers breathed a sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat from his temples. Wright and the few policemen there still looked confused. They looked at each other. Out of curiosity, Wright approached Commander Piers. “Commander, what exactly happened? Why are you acting like that?” Commander Piers hit Wright on the head, startling the young policeman. He almost bit his own tongue. However, Commander Piers' eyes glared angrily at him. “You idiots, you almost broke all of our throats because of you!”

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
