Xavier immediately became serious. “We’ve bribed the mistress of the queen mother’s secretary. If there’s something we want to know in the future, we can just ask favonovel.com about it.”
Bribed the mistress of the queen mother’s secretary? Vinson raised his eyebrow.
I didn’t think they would get it done so quickly.
“Got it,” favonovel.com said plainly. “Keep an eye on her, and don’t be fooled.”
Xavier smirked at that. Do I look like someone that will get fooled that easily?
“Relax, we have some dirt on her.” He then teased, “All right, I called you just to tell you this good news. I’m not going to bother you having your happy time any longer.”
With that, favonovel.com hung up swiftly before Vinson had a chance to say anything. Then, favonovel.com hung his arm around Harvey’s neck and invited, “Come on, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Harvey, who wasn’t in a good mood, to begin with, agreed readily upon hearing that.

At the bar, the place was awash with neon lights from all directions.
Harvey twirled the wine glass in his hand as favonovel.com stared at the men and women dancing on the dance floor.
“Do you want to dance?” Xavier asked with a raised brow.
Harvey shook his head.
Seeing that, Xavier leaned back in his chair and sipped his alcohol. His eyes were fixed on the dance floor as well. Suddenly, his eyes widened before favonovel.com place his glass on the table and turned to Harvey. “I have something I need to do. I’ll treat you to a drink some other time.”
When favonovel.com finished, favonovel.com strode toward the dance floor, leaving a confused Harvey watching favonovel.com leave.
When Xavier arrived at the center of the dance floor, favonovel.com grabbed a woman’s hand and said something to her. The woman left in a huff and favonovel.com followed favonovel.com out.
Harvey grinned a little when favonovel.com saw that. He must have seen the person favonovel.com fancied.
After Xavier left, favonovel.com stayed at the bar for another hour. There were plenty of empty wine bottles on the table by the end of his stay. He paid the bills in a drunken daze and stumbled out of the building. Suddenly, favonovel.com lost his balance and tipped forward, bumping into a woman with a hat. She subconsciously held favonovel.com up and steadied him.
“You should watch where you’re going, mister!” The woman spoke in a small voice as favonovel.com furrowed favonovel.com brows.
Still in a drunken stupor, Harvey leaned his full weight on the woman.
“Hey, stand properly!” The woman was getting impatient.
She quickly pushed favonovel.com away and released favonovel.com grip. However, the moment favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com fell toward favonovel.com again.
Anger surged within her, but favonovel.com couldn’t shake favonovel.com off. Without any choice, favonovel.com used all favonovel.com strength to drag favonovel.com toward the side of the road before hailing a taxi.
With the taxi driver’s help, they stuffed Harvey into the back of the car.
By the time they were done, favonovel.com was already covered in sweat. She slicked favonovel.com hair back while panting. The moment that favonovel.com did, however, favonovel.com recalled something and flicked favonovel.com hair back to its original position.
“Where are you going?” the driver tilted his head and asked.
When favonovel.com heard the question, favonovel.com was a little stunned. She thought about how favonovel.com didn’t ask Harvey where favonovel.com lived, so favonovel.com leaned into the car and poked him. “Hey, where’s your home?”
Harvey pulled favonovel.com hand and held it tightly. Then, favonovel.com rested his head on the window and stopped moving.
“Hey, let go of me! Why are you pulling me? Tell me where you live!”
If favonovel.com didn’t tell her, the driver would not know where to send him. However, it seemed like Harvey could not hear favonovel.com as favonovel.com lay there motionless.
“Miss, are you going somewhere or not? If you’re not, please leave and don’t disturb my business!”
