Harvey raised his head and nced at nor. He chuckled.


    “I have to say, you’re not really treating me as a friend right now.”


    “This was my meeting gift-you’re disrespecting me if you’re giving it back right now.”


    “People of Flutwell now call me the grandmaster of martial arts. It’s inappropriate for you to do something like this,


    don’t you think?”


    Even though Harvey said that, he didn’t seem too surprised.


    After all, nor was a smart woman, she knew full well that she needed to break off from Harvey to prevent herself


    from getting involved.


    Harvey admired her because of this.


    “Of course I need to show my respect to you…”


    “But in the end, I still belong to Young Master Bauer.”


    nor calmly looked for an excuse.


    “As one of Young Master Bauer’s mistresses, there’ll be a day where I will be sent to limbo.”


    1 may seem like I have a bright future ahead of me with all this authority, but just as you found out, I don’t have


    much money.”


    “The properties I own don’t even amount to a million dors.”


    N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “Seventy million dors is a number I wouldn’t even dare think about in the first ce.”


    “That’s why I’ll get in trouble because of this!”


    “If I take your money, Young Master Bauer will find out no matter how hard I hide it.”


    “When that happens, I’ll die a horrible death…”


    “That’s why. For me and our friendship, you should take the money back.”


    nor showed a stern look when she nced at the check she put down.


    “I have to admit, you have a pretty good reason-so good I almost had to take the check back.”


    Harvey showed a faint smile when he picked up the check.


    “That said, you’re not telling me the entire truth.”


    “You didn’t give the check back because you were scared of being found out.”


    “You know full well Young Master Bauer has no space for friendship.”


    “When I’m done dealing with Joseph, he’lle at me instantly after, right?”


    “Maybe during the banquet. Or maybe not.”


    “But when that happens…”


    “You’ll join me six feet under if he finds out you have my money.”


    nor’s eyes twitched slightly after hearing Harvey’s calm words, as if he was reading her like an open


    book.


    She forced out a chuckle.


    “You must be joking. Why would he do something like that when he admires you so much?”


    “Right. There’s no need to stay on topic. That said, are you really content right now, CEO Stanton?” Harvey shed


    her a faint smile.


    “After a few years, maybe a decade, you’ll be cast away.”


    “When that happens, everything you have will be owned by a younger woman….”


    “You might just lose your life if you even say something wrong.”


    “You’re a smart woman. Do you really want to ept such a bleak future?”


    nor frowned, but she didn’t say a word.


    “Are you really not going to think for yourself? Or rather, aren’t you willing to take a gamble?”


    “If you want to, I’m willing to turn the money into an investment for you.”


    “An investment for Hearthstone Corporation, of course.”
