Chapter 84
Marvin’s tone was cold as he replied, “You must be Kane’s son. Just get to the point.”
Harvey noticed the distant tone but pressed on with a friendly laugh purchase the King of Diamonds from you. Please name your price.”
“Mr. Yates, I’d like to
“King of Diamonds? What King of Diamonds?” Marvin’s response left Harvey stunned.
“The multi–million–dollar diamond ring in Jayrodale,” Harvey explained. “From what I know, it’s currently with Andrew, your staff. I wouldn’t bother you with such a small matter, but Andrew refuses to sell it to me.”
Harvey continued smoothly, “I thought it was best to let you handle your subordinate. However, I must warn you–Andrew might be trying to steal this valuable piece for himself.”
A cold smile spread across Harvey’s face after finishing his speech. Not only would he get the ring, but he would also expose that loser’s true nature to Marvin, who was known for his harsh treatment of subordinates.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Marvin replied. “That King of Diamonds has nothing to do with me.”
Harvey was dumbfounded. “Mr. Yates, if the ring isn’t yours, then whose is it?”
“I’ve heard Kane’s son is supposed to be one of Jayrodale’s finest, but you seem rather dense,” Marvin said dryly. “I already told you it’s not mine. Are you deaf? Whoever has it right is the rightful owner. Why are you asking me such obvious questions? This is just ridiculous!”
With that, he hung up.
Harvey stood frozen while Irene eagerly asked, “What did Mr. Yates say? Did he agree?”
Leroy chuckled. “Come on, with Harvey handling it, even Mr. Yates would have to show him respect!”
“He said… the King of Diamonds isn’t his,” Harvey replied.
The Stevens family was shocked. Christina asked in disbelief, “So the ring is really Andrew’s?”
“Impossible!” Irene snapped. “That nobody couldn’t afford it! There must be some explanation.”
Christina ignored her mother and studied Harvey suspiciously. “Harvey, is the ring really Andrew’s?”
“Christie, how could it be?” Harvey scoffed. “It’s worth 7.5 million! Only a handful of people in Jayrodale could afford that, and Andrew isn’t one of them.”
Christina stayed silent, lost in thought, as memories of her time with Andrew surfaced. Since breaking off their engagement, she had noticed something different about him.
Andrew seemed to have grown unexpectedly formidable, leaving her increasingly uncertain about who he really was. That night, she lay awake as a voice in her head whispered that she might have missed out on something precious, something she would regret forever.
Meanwhile, at an exclusive bathhouse in East Side, Tony was also having a sleepless night. His group had cleared out the entire private bathhouse for him, and he soaked alone in the steaming pool, brow furrowed with worry.
