Queenie knew exactly what Harvey liked. She had already arranged some vintage ck Tea for him to enjoy.


    While the faint fragrance of tea spread in the air, Harvey went upstairs to take a shower. He felt very refreshed


    after changing into his sportswear.


    Katy shot him a curious nce. After a while, she burst outughing.


    “If you keep running around me like that, I’ll take a bite out of you sooner orter!”


    Harvey pouted after hearing those words.


    “No way! I treat you like my sister, yet you’re trying to force yourself on me?”


    “How dare you!”


    “Tch!”


    Katy scoffed.


    “Everyone here wants a piece of me.”


    “I’m not even interested in any of them, though. I only have you on my mind.”


    “In any case…”


    “You’ll be missing out when I change my mind!”


    Harvey was speechless.


    ‘Why did she have to bring up such a sensitive topic…?‘

    Right when the air became a little more heated, Katy’s phone rang again.


    She frowned when she picked up the call; it was Lara again.


    Lara kept pestering Katy non–stop; other than pestering her to show up to the dinner on time, she also demanded


    Katy to go alone and endure whatever necessary. 1


    Lara said that Vance was being supported by the ckburn City Martial Arts Alliance, so he was used to being a


    littlewless. No matter what, Katy wasn’t allowed to go against that man.


    Katy, however, casually brushed off the warnings.


    It didn’t matter whether it was ckburn City or the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance; none of it was enough to scare


    her off.


    “Your friend’s pretty interesting, Katy,” Harvey said, looking curious.


    “How is a simple middleman so intent on getting involved with your personal business? People who don’t know


    might just think that she’s the actual creditor.”


    Katy smiled.


    “Lara’s the South Sea’s social butterfly; she has a lot of connections on both sides of the


    underworld.”


    “She needs to earn money this way. She’ll get hundreds and thousands of dors if we manage to get a deal out of


    this business. It’s only natural for her to work this hard.”


    “Are you close to her?” Harvey asked.


    “No. The third house of the family introduced her to me.”


    “They said that they want ten percent of the money if this goes through,” Katy said quietly, holding


    her teacup.


    “I thought that the second and third houses were trying to screw me over, but after investigating the situation


    further, I can confirm that Lara is an actual mediator.”


    “There shouldn’t be much of a fuss, then.”


    “That said, Vance is quite problematic.”


    “He’s the CEO of the Marina Bay Freight Company. There are rumors saying that he has good connections with the


    person in charge of the ckburn Martial Arts Alliance, Rhett Padlow.”


    “That said, I suspect that Rhett is the real boss of thepany.”


    “After all, thepany takes up one–third of the pier’s logistics volume. It doesn’t seem like much, but it shouldn’t


    be a problem for thepany to make hundreds and millions of dors.”


    “There’s no way Rhett would let an outsider make all this money. There’s a high probability that Vance is just a front


    put up by him.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Simply put, it may seem like Vance wants us to pay the money back, but the real target is actually the ckburn


    City Martial Arts Alliance.”


    “This is a little troublesome…”


    “Not really. As long as Vance keeps this a secret, we can just deal with the situation while pretending that none of


    this ever happened.”
