This piece of information shocked Harvey. His body turned stiff though it was unnoticeable. It took
Harvey a whole minute to somewhat stop his racing thoughts. He shut his eyes for a moment. When he
opened them once more, they were tinged with a hint of indescribable emotions.
“Shawn, stop investigating for now.” Harvey stared at the middle-aged man in front of him; the man’s
tranquil expression seemed as though he were laughing at his outburst. Harvey’s grip on his cellphone
tightened. However, he continued speaking with a gentle tone. “All you have to do is keep watch on the
Rogers, family. Put the rest of the matters on hold.”
Shawn understood the meaning behind his words. He was silent for a moment.
“But Harvey, I also want to know…” This was one of the rare occasions where he refuted Harvey.
“That’s enough!”
Harvey could not suppress the bloodthirstiness that appeared in his eyes. It was as if there were an
uncontrollable beast locked in his body, and that beast was starting to get agitated by something it had
heard.
“Shawn Rogers, do not test my patience.”
He helped him return to the Rogers family and gain Christo Rogers’ trust. Naturally, he could also turn
him back into a lowly illegitimate child and make him live in shame for the rest of his life!
For a while, Shawn was silent on the other end of the line. His fingers had turned white from gripping the
phone. No one knew the kind of emotional conflict he was going through.
He looked at the lavish and comfortable room and the many servants. In the end, he answered with
difficulty as if he had made up his mind.
“I’ll go with what you said, Harvey.”
Once again, he was bowing to the devil.
Cold beeping sounds sounded from the other end, indicating the end of the call. Shawn set down the
phone in his hand and looked at the pieces of paper laid in front of him. He then swept the papers into
the trashcan emotionlessly.
However, his fists had become tightly clenched.
Harvey hung up the phone. There was a cold glint in his eyes as he stared at the middle-aged man in
front of him.
He stood up with a smirk. Then, he slowly walked toward the man while unconsciously rubbing the
cufflink on his right sleeve. His face looked like an icy piece of jade, skillfully carved yet completely
absent of life.
The fear in the middle-aged man’s eyes grew as he got closer. He kept backing away, but he
had a clean, white wall behind him. He had nowhere to hide.
Harvey walked up to him and stared at him condescendingly. He had a formal – looking smile playing on
his lips; it looked terrifying to the man.
He opened his mouth, revealing what little teeth he had left, and let out sharp whimpers.
It was as if he was telling Harvey to stay away.
Harvey gazed at him. The smile on his face deepened. “Sir, you’re probably unaware of this, but Shawn
will be uncovering some information soon.”
“However, I don’t want to let him in on the information.”
“Why don’t you tell me about it? Just me, alright?”
The middle-aged man’s sharp whimpers had stopped some time ago. He looked at Harvey, who was
sitting in front of him. Suddenly, a devious glint flashed in his eyes. He widened his mouth at Harvey as if
he wanted to speak. His drool started trickling down uncontrollably while he moved; he looked silly and
disgusting. Regardless, Harvey did not look disgusted at all. He bent down slightly and inched himself
closer. He had a bewitching smile playing on his face, “Tell me, sir. Tell me, and I’ll set you free.”
