After trying to persuading Greg for a long time, Aaron started to lose his patience. He was about to raise his voice at Greg when Lesly walked up beside her new husband.
She looked at her father and said, "Dad, Greg has already told you many times that it won't work. As you said, they are good friends, which means that Greg knows Cayn better than you do."
Aaron's face darkened in an instant. Lesley was obviously siding with Greg.
"Lesley, Harvey is your brother. You can't just watch him being treated like this. You have to help him. Tell Greg to talk to Cayn. He can put in some good words for Harvey."
Lesley couldn't help shaking her head. The whole thing looked so ironic.
Her parents had indeed changed a lot after Harvey was born.
She remembered that when she was their only child, they had also doted on her so much.
But ever since Harvey came into their family, she became nothing compared to him.
Lesley closed her eyes. She swore that this was the last time she helped Harvey.
She leaned over to Greg and said, "Honey, maybe you should talk to Cayn. But no pressure. At least, we tried our best to help."
Greg looked at her and nodded.
Cayn saw Aaron talk to Greg about something and could already guess what it was.
So, seeing Greg coming over to him, he immediately pulled a long face.
"Whatever you want to say, forget it. I know that you want to intercede for them. But don't forget what kind of person I am. I don't want you to get involved in this matter. Otherwise, I might forget that we are friends."
Greg asked, "Do you really have to do this? Can't you forgive Harvey for my sake, just this once?"
"We have been friends for a long time. You should know my principles in life," Cayn retorted.
After that, he didn't say anything more.
Greg decided to go back to Lesley and Aaron. He didn't have any reason to stay beside Cayn any longer.
"How was it? Did he agree?" Aaron asked expectantly as soon as Greg came back to them.
Greg shook his head and replied, "No. I've already told you many times that he wouldn't let go of this."
"You are such a useless man."
Aaron's face darkened as he glared at Greg.
He had completely forgotten that it was he who begged Greg to talk with Cayn just now.
Greg was slightly taken aback.
Upon hearing what Aaron said, Lesley was furious and her face turned cold. "Dad, it was you who asked him to talk to Cayn. Greg did his best to persuade Cayn, but what could he do if Cayn wouldn't agree? Why would you scold him now?"
Aaron was a little embarrassed. "I'm not scolding him. Did I say anything wrong? I am just telling the truth. Besides, I am your father. How can you talk to me like that?"
Andrew, who had been standing aside, frowned impatiently. He then ordered, "Take him away."
Rae rushed and stood in front of Harvey upon hearing Andrew's words. "Let's see who would dare to take my son away."
She then looked at Andrew and added, "Mr. Lu, today is Lesley's wedding. Why are you so heartless? Don't forget that Lesley used to love you."
Rae's last words sounded ridiculous to Ashley's ears. It was true that Lesley liked Andrew before. But, what did it have to do with Andrew's plan of punishing Harvey?
Andrew ignored Rae and whispered to Ashley, "Let's go."
"Okay," Ashley agreed.
Dany, who was still in Cayn's arms, yawned.
"What's the matter, honey? Are you sleepy now?" Cayn asked her in a gentle tone.
Dany nodded and said, "Daddy, I want to go home now."
"Okay, we're going home now," said Cayn.
"Zed."
Zed already knew what to do when he heard Cayn call him.
When Aaron saw that they were about to leave, his face twitched. He could not let them take his son away.
Harvey might not come back to them once he was taken away.
"Wait!"
Aaron cried out.
But they just turned a deaf ear to him.
Zed looked at the bodyguards behind him. One of them moved forward and pulled Harvey from Andrew's bodyguards.
