Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”

“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?

On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”

“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”

“Hurry up and get out! Shirley, he’s a live-in son-in-law. You must not be fooled by him!”

Howard was the main character tonight. These classmates had been in society for a few years. They were not that capable but were all very good at flattering. At this moment, they were all insulting Harvey wantonly.

Harvey frowned. If it was not for the fear that Shirley would get into trouble later, he did not want to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Howard saw Harvey still not leaving and felt that he was losing face. He took out a bank card and threw it on the dining table. He sneered, “Waiter, bill, please. If someone does not give up, then I shall let him see that he could never afford this meal in a lifetime!”

Many people gasped after seeing Howard’s movements.

Silver card! Only people with more than one million assets could apply for it.

They never thought that Howard had such an accomplishment at a young age. Appearance could be deceptive.

On the other hand, Harvey was poor and was a loser. How could the gap between two people be so big?

Sure enough, even Wendy could not help but look at Howard several times when she saw this silver card. It seemed that this guy was quite capable.

Howard was delighted when he saw the beauty’s approving eyes. He stared at Harvey and continued. “No, I suddenly changed my mind again. Waiter, let’s go Dutch tonight. One for his share and the rest will be on me. Please help me separate the bill into two.”

The waiter nodded and went down.

Shirley felt bad for Harvey at this moment. Would it not be better if he had left just now? The meal for tonight was estimated to be tens of thousands, and the average consumption per person would be more than a thousand. Could Harvey afford the bill?

Shirley sighed when she thought about this. She quietly took out her bank card. She had to help settle the bill for Harvey so as not to embarrass him.

At this moment, the waiter who was holding the card, and a man who seemed to be the manager walked quickly into the private room.

The waiter bowed at Howard with an apologetic look and said. “Sir, I’m sorry, the balance in your card is insufficient.”

Howard was stunned for a moment. He then said furiously, “Are you joking?! I still have millions in my card, how could you tell me that the balance is insufficient?!”

“Yes, sir. I’m sorry. The meal for tonight was about 1.8 million dollars. You still have to pay 1.7 million dollars after deducting this gentleman’s share…”

“Pfft…”

Harvey almost burst out laughing when he heard the number. It seemed impolite.

This Howard was indeed a douche. Although no one knew about the two bottles of wine that the waiter had brought up, Harvey did know about it.

It was the famous Eden XIII, a French original royal wine, with a retail price of around eight hundred thousand dollars. Howard had ordered two bottles just now, and the price was already over 1.6 million dollars.

Howard was shocked. He pointed at the waiter and said, “Are you kidding me? We have less than twenty people here. How could we almost spend about two million dollars? Bring your manager here. I want to see how corrupt your hotel is!”

The waiter sighed. He had already expected that. He then stepped back and said, “This is our manager.”

“Great!” Howard shouted while staring at the neatly dressed manager in front of him. “Are you planning to quit your jobs? How could the consumption per capita be one hundred thousand dollars? Do you know who I am? My cousin is Don Xander!”

The manager was not in a hurry. He said slowly, “Sir, I am so sorry. The meal was about tens of thousands of dollars only. However, you ordered two bottles of the top French wine—Eden XIII just now. Each cost eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars. So, you’ve got to pay 1.76 million dollars. It’s approximately 1.8 million dollars after adding up the meal. But since you are Mr. Xander’s cousin, we have already rounded up the figure…”

“Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!” Howard was so angry. He grabbed the manager’s shirt. “How do you have a wine that costs over eight hundred thousand dollars? Even if you do, I did not say I wanted such an expensive wine. I’ll call the police!”

The manager calmed himself down and slowly whipped Howard’s hand away.

He had been in this position for several years. Thus, he had seen all kinds of people in Niumhi before. However, this was the first time that he had seen someone who had no money but still pretended to be rich.

He said solemnly after taking a deep breath, “Mister, let me explain a few things to you. First, we have provided you the best wine that you requested. Second, our waiter wanted to remind you about the price twice, but you didn’t care. Third, all these things are being recorded, so we have evidence. If you want to call the police, feel free to do it.”

Clap, clap…

The manager clapped his hands gently after he finished his words.

Boom! The door of the private room was kicked open. Several brawny men in undershirts rushed in. All of them were fierce and gruesome.

When the security went to report to him just now, he already felt that someone would be causing trouble, so he had brought the bodyguards with him.

Howard broke out in a cold sweat and shivered. He then gritted his teeth and said, “Where is your boss? I want to see your boss! You are running a “black shop”!”

“So, do you mean that I opened a “black shop”?”

A young man with a buzzcut was wearing a white shirt and holding two wrist balls in his hand. He walked in with a smile.

He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, looked daunting, but also evil at the same time. His appearance made people unconsciously gasp.

The owner of Platinum Hotel—Tyson Woods was considered one of the top individuals in Niumhi. Platinum Hotel was one of his properties.

Howard originally wanted to curse, but his sweat kept on dripping at this moment. This was Tyson Woods! He was a high profile person!

He did overdo it just now, saying that Don and Tyson were buddies. He knew that Don was nothing in front of Tyson.

Howard was just a working-class lad. How dare he mess with Tyson?

The manager said coldly after seeing the boss arrive, “Mister, you have a silver card and also holding an Audi car key. I guess you are not someone who can’t afford the bill. You asked for the best wine yourself and wanted two bottles at a time. Now, you refuse to pay for it.”

“No! I don’t dare to do that!” Howard said quickly, “We’ll pay, we’ll pay the bill!”

He looked at his classmates asking for help while talking. He only had over a million dollars left on his card. This was the entire fortune that he had worked hard for over the past few years. He even bought the Audi through installment loans. How could it be possible for him to take out 2 million dollars himself?

The classmates who were flattering him just now were all looking in other directions. ‘You wanted to show off and asked for the most expensive wine just now. What do you mean? Now, you want us to help you pay? Impossible!’

Tyson immediately saw through their thoughts. He slowly walked over and patted Howard’s face twice. He then said, “Boy, if you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be rich, keep a low profile, okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“You don’t have to pay for the bill tonight,” Tyson smiled. “But with one condition…”

“Please say it! Please! I’ll do my best…” Howard said with a pleading expression.

Tyson smiled wickedly. “Let her and her accompany me.”

His gaze swept across Wendy and then fell on Shirley. These two girls, one was sexy and the other was pure.

“Ah…” Howard was dumbfounded, this…

“No?”

“No…no…Brother Tyson, have fun and enjoy…” Howard did not dare to look at Wendy’s face at the moment after he finished speaking. Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.

“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering. All of them looked like they were afraid to get into trouble.

Harvey was the only person present with a blank face, not because of anything else, but because he was the one who trained and groomed Tyson Woods secretly when he was in the Yorks.

Tyson had been on the streets at a young age. He had no money and power. He was almost hacked to death on the streets several times. Once, Harvey met him and thought he might become a prominent figure, so he decided to train him.

He was surprised that Tyson had grown so much in just a few years.

However, Harvey did not intend to recognize him. He was no longer the heir of the Yorks after so many years. Tyson might not want to recognize him.

Meanwhile, the evil Tyson finally glanced through the other people in the room wilfully. Nonetheless, when his gaze passed over Harvey, he was slightly taken aback.

His face changed in the next second. His arrogance and evilness instantly disappeared. Instead, he quickly moved forward and walked to Harvey. He bowed and said in a low voice, “Sir, I have no idea that you are here. Please forgive me!”

Everyone in the private room was shocked at this moment.

The extremely arrogant Tyson who could easily let them die was now standing beside Harvey respectfully, just like a student who was being lectured by a teacher.

Even Tyson’s subordinates were shocked. Their boss had always been fearless and ruthless! He had never respected someone so much.

Harvey was the only one that remained calm and showed no expression.

“It’s been a while.” Harvey sighed after a long time. He then patted Tyson’s shoulder. “Just let them go, they are all my classmates after all.”

“Yes! I’ll do whatever you say, Sir. I’ll let them go. Get them out of here. I’d love to catch up with you Sir. Don’t let them disturb us!” Tyson was so worked up.

Soon, those classmates with weird expressions were all kicked out.

…

Outside Platinum Hotel. All his classmates were shocked.

Shirley even murmured, “I did not expect Harvey to help us out. But how did he know the owner of Platinum Hotel?”

Wendy also whispered, “Did we blame him wrongly? He might be quite capable and successful too.”

“How could we be wrong?” Howard was flustered at this moment. He was disgraceful tonight. He must recover his image and reputation.

“I know! Harvey must be a hustler. He has colluded with this Platinum Hotel a long time ago and wanted to bluff everyone’s money…” Howard said bitterly.

Shirley snorted. “If he wants your money, why would he let you go?”

“It’s because he knew that I was going to call the police. So, he was scared. Yes! Otherwise, how could things be solved so easily?! Harvey, that b*stard! This isn’t over!” Howard resented.

The other classmates looked at each other and felt reasonable.

“Yeah! This isn’t over!”

“Harvey, the live-in son-in-law even bluffed his classmates. We’ll see about that. The next time I meet him, I’ll…”

They were just scolding. No one dared to go after him and harass him at this moment. They all left with dejection after cursing and yelling for a while.

After turning down Howard’s Audi, Wendy got into a Porsche and left, leaving only Howard who was gritting his teeth.

…

There were only Harvey and Tyson in the private room right now.

Tyson stood with his head down, but he still looked out the window and said, “Sir, these people are so ungrateful. Do you want me…”

“Forget about them.” Harvey smiled and did not take it to heart. If it was not for Shirley tonight, he would just keep quiet and let Tyson deal with them.

“Yes!” Tyson dared not refute. “Sir, where are you working now? I have not been able to find you in the past few years…”

“You will eventually know about it. Remember, just call my name when you meet me in the future.” Harvey ordered.

Harvey’s old-model phone rang again while he was talking. He picked up the phone and glanced at it. He frowned and said, “Sh*t! I have to go back and clean the house. Tyson, I will come to you when I’m free…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he rode his electric bike and disappeared from Tyson’s dull sight.

The next morning, Harvey who was still bleary-eyed and with messy hair went to the most prosperous business district in Niumhi by his electric bike.

York Enterprise was located in this prime location.

Yonathan called him last night and said that he had already completed the handover procedures for York Enterprise. If he signed the papers today, the company would belong to him.

Harvey was quite concerned about this matter. After all, he bought the company with ten billion dollars. That was why he had rushed here early in the morning without eating any breakfast.

Harvey was speechless when he reached the company. No wonder it was the most prosperous area in Niumhi. There were luxury cars everywhere. He rode on his electric bike here. If he just parked his bike casually, it would probably be carried away later.

He took a circle around the company and finally found a parking space at the gate. He suddenly heard a squeal of brakes as soon as he had parked his bike.

Then there was a bang. His electric bike went flying after being knocked by a Porsche.

“Damn!”

Harvey was speechless. His electric bike was so unlucky. The battery was just stolen a few days ago and now it was hit by a Porsche.

Anyway, the Porsche was a luxury car. There were only a few scratches on the Porsche. However, his electric bike was scrapped at the rear, and it was impossible to ride it now.

‘The electric bike has been with me for three years!’

Harvey wanted to cry. He was very attached to this electric bike.

Meanwhile, there were also a lot of people who came up to see what had happened.

The Porsche’s car paint was very expensive. Could this guy who was riding the electric bike afford to pay for it?

“How do you ride the bike?” A beautiful woman pushed open the Porsche door and walked down, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Wow…”

The people around were in awe of her beauty. This woman was wearing an exquisitely professional attire and walked in high heels. She was so elegant, just like a lady that came out from a painting.

Such beauty would be in the spotlight wherever she went.

“Wendy?” Harvey smiled. What a coincidence. He did not expect to meet his old classmate on his first day at work.

Although she did crash into his electric bike and him, he would forget about it since she was his old classmate.

Harvey did not intend to hold her responsible and was ready to go up to say hello. At this moment, Wendy saw him.

“It’s you? Harvey? Why are you here?”

Wendy became nervous. Harvey bluffed the classmates at the Platinum Hotel last night. Why was he here today? Did he follow her? Did he come to scam other people?

Wendy was filled with hatred when she thought of this. She bought this Porsche with a loan and spent more than seven hundred thousand dollars. She cherished her car very much. She never thought that this scammer would add a few more scratches on it today. She did not know how much it would cost to repair it.

“Harvey, why are you doing bad things? You even learn to scam people!” Wendy said aggressively.

“This, you are the one who crashed into me, okay?” Harvey looked speechless. “I initially wanted to just let it go since we were classmates. How could you say that I hit you?”

“What happened?” At this moment, a middle-aged strong man walked over quickly. He was the company’s security chief. He brought a group of gruesome guards along.

Seeing this scene, the security chief recognized Wendy and quickly said, “Miss Sorrell, what happened?”

There were rumors that Wendy would be promoted to the position of general manager. Hence, the security chief was anxious to find an opportunity to flatter around her, shamelessly sucking up.

“Can’t you see?” Wendy said coldly.

The security chief smiled and said, “Miss Sorrell, you can rest assured, I will deal with him for you.”

He walked up to Harvey as he was talking. He kicked the electric bike and shouted. “Who are you? Don’t you know that this is the exclusive parking space of York Enterprise? You are not allowed to park your electric bike here!”

“Oh, it’s so cool, who made this rule?” Harvey said coldly. He was not angry at first, but when he saw someone kicking his electric bike, he could not help it.

“Who made it? Of course, it’s me!” The security chief said coldly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Just pay for the damages and apologize to Miss Sorrell, or else, I will send you to the police station today.”

Wendy slightly frowned hearing the security chief’s words. She then said, “Forget it, it shouldn’t be made easy for him. Just let him pay for the damages. Don’t send him to the police.”

Harvey glanced at Wendy. He did not expect her to still have a little kindness. However, he still pointed at the electric bike on the ground and said, “Open your eyes and see clearly. I parked here first. Then she crashed into me. I’m already very nice for not asking her to pay for my damages. Instead, you want me to pay for her damages. Are you out of your mind?”

“You!” The security chief pointed at Harvey. “Is this guy stupid? Miss Sorrell has already decided not to call the police, but why are you still insisting that she pays for your damages? Who would drive a Porsche and hit your electric bike?”

He gritted his teeth and continued, “Look carefully, these are our company’s private parking spaces. Outsiders are not allowed to park here.”

“Oh, what a coincidence? I am also working in this company.” Harvey shrugged.

“Then how do you dare to offend Miss Sorrell? She could easily make you lose your job with just a sentence.” The security chief looked at Harvey pitifully.

‘This kid is so poor. His clothes were bought from the stalls on the roadside. He rides on an electric bike to work. He should be a cleaner, right? If he offended Miss Sorrell, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t even have to wash the toilet, right?’

“Who is this? Why haven’t I seen him before? Isn’t he afraid of offending Miss Sorrell?”

“Yeah, we are all on the same side. Why go through all that trouble?”

“Maybe he just wants to attract Miss Sorrell’s attention!”

“It makes sense! It turns out that he’s a toad trying to swallow a swan! Does he not look at himself in the mirror? He’s wearing cheap clothes. What is he thinking?”

Harvey remained quiet.

A few employees who were on the side looking were all gossiping about Harvey softly at the moment.

Wendy frowned and said, “Are you working in our company? Who recruited you? Why don’t I know? But with your attitude, no matter who recruited you, I’m telling you that you are fired. I don’t need you to pay for my damages. Just get lost with your electric bike!”
