Sarah opened the door. “Please come in, Mr. Harvey.”

After Harvey entered, Sarah immediately closed the door. In front of her was a man who had been looking down. He was the person in charge of accompanying the VIP.

Harvey took out his card and used it on a machine beside the steel door. Realizing that Harvey had opened the door, the man hurriedly approached him. Then after seeing the card Harvey was holding, he realized that Harvey was someone he should respect more. He would instantly lose his job if he ignored him even a little.

The man gulped. “My apologies, sir. I'm late to welcome you.”

Harvey looked at him casually. He didn't really mind that much. The man then opened the steel door. “Please follow me, sir.”

The man walked ahead of Harvey into the room. It turned out that the room had an elevator that led to an underground room. The man pointed to the elevator to let Harvey in. The elevator took them to a secret vault that only this elite jewelry store had.

Harvey walked behind the man through the steel doors beside the corridor. Those doors were the rooms where ordinary VIP customers were kept. And among all the doors, there was a large black door, looking the strongest among the other storage doors.

The man stopped in front of the door. Then he stood beside it while facing Harvey. “Please, sir. Until now, no one has touched your safe.”

Harvey took a step forward while looking at the top of the large door. He smiled a little. “If anyone can touch it, then the security here is pretty lousy.”

Sweat began to break out on the guard's temples. He quickly lowered his gaze. What Harvey said seemed like something frightening to him.

Harvey pressed his palm against the scan screen in front of the door. A lock sounded open from inside the door. Then Harvey also entered a numeric password. From the center of the door, a silver circle appeared. Harvey then pressed his palm against the circle and closed his eyes.

The guard took a few steps back. His heart was racing. In his mind, he was seriously watching what Harvey was doing without blinking. “What a great pressure.”

Harvey's mouth whispered a few words. One thing that Harvey had not shown to others while he was Whitley's husband was that Harvey possessed an unusual martial arts technique. He could use the inner power of his body. By attaching his hand to the silver circle. With such an intricate mechanism, this safe was indeed tailor-made for Harvey alone.

The sound of gears could be heard clearly as the large door slid open. Harvey then entered. Inside was a large room that felt empty. The entire room was white, with only a table in the center of the room. On top of the table, there was a glowing black box.

Harvey walked over and opened the box. Inside, there was a necklace in the shape of a phoenix. Harvey touched and stroked the object several times. “It's been so long...”

Harvey took the object and put it on. He closed his eyes, then as he looked up he took a deep breath, then let it out. He felt something new.

Harvey turned around and walked out of the room. Automatically, the door of the safe closed again.

The man from before came up to Harvey. “Have you taken what you need, sir.”

Harvey showed the necklace he was wearing. “Don't let anyone enter this safe!”

The man nodded. Somehow the atmosphere became more tense. The man had to swallow his saliva. In his mind, he wondered about all this. “Who is this person? I'm meeting him for the first time, but his aura is so strong. He's definitely not an ordinary person.”

There were only a few who had VIP storage access, but this was the first time he had seen one locked in such a way. He was sure that this guest must be more than he imagined. He even subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat and got goosebumps.

The two of them then walked out of the storage area. Harvey stepped slightly ahead of the man. After they arrived at the previous place, it turned out that Whitley was still there. He proudly stood at a slight angle and also folded his arms in front of his chest.

“Oh, did you finally get kicked out of this place, Harvey?” Whitley said in a very annoying tone. “I already knew that someone like you would want to commit a crime. You were caught trying to steal, weren't you?”

Harvey didn't pay much attention to her. He was too lazy to bother with a big mouth like this woman. However, just as Harvey was about to leave, Whitley and Valencia got in front of him.

Whitley snorted dismissively. “I think you need to be searched before you leave this place.”

Whitley glanced at the name tag of the man behind Harvey. “Jason, check Harvey's entire body.”

Harvey paused to exhale. “You don't know about me.”

Whitley chuckled. “I know very well who you are. You're a poor, lowly man. One who would commit a crime given the chance. If you've come here, I'm sure that there must be something in your pockets. You need to be searched and reported to the police!”

Jason opened his eyes wide. Harvey was a top VIP owner, of course Jason did not allow this ambience become worse. “Be careful what you say, Miss. Mr. Harvey did not do what you are accusing him of. Whoever you are, you are out of line!”

Jason furrowed his brows. His heart was racing. He must not make Harvey feel offended by this woman.

Hearing that, Whitley was shocked. She immediately pointed at Harvey's face. “I know this person very well. He is the one who will harm you.”

Jason shook his head while glaring. “Stop it, Miss. You're so annoying!”

Whitley frowned. She wondered why this waitress seemed to be desperately defending Harvey?

Harvey grabbed Jason's shoulders. “Oh yes, I have a request. Don't let these two women to stay in here.”

Harvey's eyes fell on Whitley. Whitley suddenly opened her eyes wide. Especially when she saw Jason respond to Harvey with a nod. “Alright. Security, evict them!”

This elite jewelry store was a very prestigious store in the city. People who wore jewelry from this store would be the talk of their social groups. If Whitley lost access to come here, then she would also lose her social status in the eyes of her friends.

Whitley with a flushed face pointed back at Harvey. “Why are you even following his orders? Did he buy anything here?”

Jason firmly replied, “Mr. Harvey didn't buy. He just picked something up.”

Whitley chuckled. “He didn't buy anything? How can you obey someone like this? Look, I buy a lot of stuff here. You can't kick me out, Harvey should be the one you kick out!”

Jason shook his head. “What Mr. Harvey did is worth more than the things you bought. Hand back the things you brought and get out of here!”

Whitley was stunned. She couldn't believe that Jason would say that so bluntly. A moment later, two security guards arrived and held Whitley and Valencia's hands. Jason took back the toot bag of jewelry Whitley had just bought.

Both of them were forcibly dragged by the security and released when they were outside the store. Both of their faces became very red, especially since there were many people watching.

Whitley clenched her fists. “You bastard! Why did he kick me out like this?”

Valencia wrinkled her forehead as she looked inside the shop. Her heart was racing after that incident. “Whitley, isn't your ex-husband a rich man? He can order the people in this shop around at will.”

Whitley clucked her mouth. “Harvey? Rich? You are kidding! He's just a loser.”

    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
