Harvey shrugged, nonchalant.
“This drink’s at least a few hundred dollars. I can’t just throw it away now, can I?”
“What? This isn’t about champagne!”
Julian was on the verge of coughing up blood.
“I just got word!”
“Grandma York already gave the order to force you out of here last night! You’ll never be able to come back!”
“There’s still twelve hours before the time limit!”
“If you don’t get out of here by then…”
Julian’s face was horrible.
Harvey’s curiosity was piqued.
“What would happen?”
“Jacknife!”
“If you don’t get out of here by then, Jacknife -Grandma York’s best subordinate , rumored to be way more powerful than Lord York-will come for you!” “If you don’t get out of here, someone else will send you!” “To your death, of course…!”
“Jacknife?”
Harvey chuckled before patting Julian on his shoulder.
“Send a word in my stead.”
“Tell Jacknife to hurry up if he’s planning to assassinate me.”
“I have other things to tend to. I don’t have all day.”
Vince was inside a Toyota Century five minutes later, having regained his cool.
Kaitlyn, who was sitting in front of him, hesitated before saying quietly, “Young Lord York, Julian’s a pretty ambitious person. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t travel all the way to the Island Nations to finish a mission.”
“You should be careful of him.”
“It looks as if we’re supposed to be dealing with Queenie, but we might just get stabbed in the back by him sooner or later.”
“Besides, he’s probably really happy that you’re fighting against Harvey right now.”
Vince grinned.
“Julian?”
“Of course he’s trying to take my position! You think he can hide his intentions from me?”
“I already knew that.”
“Julian’s achievement is pretty bad for us.”
“I got information that he captured the person who killed Fourth Uncle’s son ten years ago.”
“This means one thing…”
“The third house had nothing to do with the incident at all!”
“If that’s the case, they’ll naturally stand with Fourth Uncle.”
“If the suspect gets interrogated, the Yorks of Hong Kong will be in disarray!”
Kaitlyn frowned.
“Young Lord York. About what happened ten years ago, are you…?”
But she immediately shut up.
Vince’s icy glare made her end the conversation abruptly.
Matthew, who was sitting next to them, took a deep breath.” What should we do next?”
“After all, Grandma York’s birthday is almost here. We can’t be causing any more trouble.”
Vince narrowed his eyes.
“Two things.”
“Number one, we have to make sure that Harvey leaves. That, or he dies right here. He can’t be allowed a way out of the situation!”
“Number two, we need to think of a way for the suspect to fall into our hands. We need to get the transcript first.”
“That way, we can make the best decision based on the information we have.”
Vince gazed outside the window, his face grim.
“A storm is coming…”
