The Webster couple spoke almost in unison.

Godfrey's face darkened. "College? How long ago was that? Do you know how many girlfriends Theodore has had since then? He even had a fiancée not long ago. I think you came here today just to extort money!"

Godfrey cut straight to the heart of the matter.

Theodore's parents exchanged nervous glances. "Didn't they get together again not long ago?"

Harvey's expression grew colder. Having known him for years, Godfrey could tell that Harvey was already very angry.

So, he quickly added, "Not long ago? Then it seems your son stole Harvey's girlfriend. If that's the case, Harvey should be demanding compensation from you!

"Because of your son, Harvey and Alina have already broken up. This kind of damage isn't worth anything less than tens of millions!"

"Tens of millions?" Harvey cast a glance at Godfrey.

Godfrey instantly raised the figure. "How about 100 million?"

"What? That's extortion! Alina willingly got together with my son. If you want money, go ask her! What does this have to do with my son? It's not my son's fault he's more charming than Harvey.

"Otherwise, why would Alina choose him?" Opal was completely stunned, her confidence crumbling.

Her panic made her lose all composure, and her argument was now entirely different from how she had started.

Warren tried to stop her, but it was too late. He now realized they were outmatched these people had the resources to crush them with money alone.

Harvey turned to someone behind Godfrey. "You recorded all of that, right? Save it and pass it to the lawyers later. I want them to ensure my and the company's rights are fully protected. Let them know the consequences of attempting extortion."

"Don't worry, Mr. Sullivan. I've recorded everything. The police should be here any moment!"

Hearing this, Warren and Opal were petrified. They exchanged desperate looks. "You... You're bullying us because you're rich! Why are you suing us? If you want to sue someone, sue Alina! Why involve us?" Opal exclaimed.

"Darling, let's get out of here! If the police show up, we're finished!" The two bolted without hesitation.

After watching them flee, Godfrey looked apologetically at Harvey. "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Alina has really made a mess."

"It's fine," Harvey said, his face calm and composed.

Godfrey paused, surprised. He knew what that meant coming from Harvey-it meant he had completely let go.

Harvey no longer cared. Not about Alina or anything related to her.

This realization left Godfrey feeling a sense of melancholy.

Later, when Godfrey returned to his office, he sent Alina a message.

He briefly explained what had happened and couldn't resist adding a scolding remark, "How could you fall for someone like that? One day, you'll regret this. There's only one Harvey in this world!"

Alina, meanwhile, had been holed up at home for days, avoiding the outside world and taking leave from work it was as if she was hiding from the version of herself she had been during that time.

When she saw her cousin's message, her face instantly turned pale. Her hands trembled as she searched for Theodore's number.

"Alina! You finally called me! I knew you couldn't bear to stay away from me! I was

wrong before I shouldn't have let my parents talk about you like that.

"I've spoken to them, and they realize they were wrong. They won't say such things again, nor will they interfere in our relationship.

"If we get married, I'll give you everything I have—anything you want!" Theodore was overjoyed to receive her call.

Alina took a deep breath. "Theodore, we only had a brief fling recently. We never defined our relationship as a couple, let alone talk about marriage.

"There is no chance of us getting back together. Moreover, allowing your parents to confront Harvey is like pushing them into the fire pit. You're gambling with your own future.

"I'm warning you-stop causing trouble. If this continues, you'll end up with nothing. And if you or your parents keep harassing Harvey.

your

girlfriend, I will call the police or even sue you!"
