There was a blurry photograph on the phone. But it was indeed the photograph of Harvey York and Ella Graves when they were together that night, and it was snapped by someone else secretly.
Harvey was helpless. He then thought about Zack Zimmer’s attitude that day, and he soon figured it out. It might be Zack who snapped that photograph and specially sent it to Mandy Zimmer.
“What more do you have to say? The truth is here right before us. Do you still want to deny it?”
Harvey kept quiet, and he did not have any intention to defend himself. Seeing that, Mandy was filled with despair at that moment.
The reason she let Harvey take a look at the phone was to give him a chance to explain himself. But Harvey said nothing in the end.
“Darling, it’s nothing like how you imagined it to be…” Harvey sighed and said.
“Then what is it? Tell me!” Mandy said coldly.
He treated Ella to a meal, and asked her to do him a favor in resolving the issue regarding Dario’s younger sister. But the problem was it was very complicated if he wanted to explain that. It concerned the evil sides of society, and there were a lot of things which Mandy had never gotten in touch with. If he let her know that he had contact with the thugs, he did not know how the incident would be unfolded.
“Mandy, I still can’t tell you about it now. But Ella and I are just friends, and we don’t have any other kind of relationship…” Harvey’s explanation sounded rather ungrounded.
Lilian Yates snatched away the phone and glanced at it. The next minute, she looked up with a ferocious look on her face. “Son of a b*tch! Harvey, how could you bring another woman to have a meal at a high-end place after you become a live-in son-in-law? Where did you get the money? Did you steal the money from home?”
Harvey said helplessly, “Do I have to do that? It’s not like I’m not working now!”
“Harvey, do you think that we’ll believe you if you said that? Looking at its background, it seems to be the western restaurant at the top floor of Niumhi Grand Hotel. Isn’t it? Do you think that the restaurant is a zoo? Is it like literally anybody can go there? You’re stupid. Don’t assume that we’re as stupid as you!”
At that moment, Lilian was quite overjoyed. She wanted so badly to make use of that chance to get rid of Harvey, breaking off his relationship with her family. Certainly, the prerequisite was that Harvey needed to endure the debt of eight hundred thousand dollars alone and left the Zimmers.
Harvey did not bother about Lilian because her existence only made things worse.
He looked at Mandy and asked her softly, “Do you trust me?”
