The Ultimate Tycoon

Chapter 1

"Darling, your husband, that loser won't suddenly come back, will he?"

"He works late delivering food these days for buying me a gift. Hmph, I don't care at all."

Harvey had just arrived at the door of an old apartment. He heard the voices of a man and a woman inside mixed with heavy panting. He frozen, and the gift he had prepared for his wife slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

One of the voices inside was his wife, Chloe. The other voice was familiar too—it was Kendrick Vale, his company's CFO.

Today was Harvey and Chloe's third anniversary and also his birthday. He had worked extra hours doing deliveries to buy Chloe an anniversary gift. He came home early to give her a surprise and hoped she would celebrate his birthday with him. But he never expected to witness this.

"I think I heard something outside. Check it out," Chloe's voice came from inside. Then, Harvey heard footsteps approaching.

When the door opened, Harvey saw a middle-aged man with a limp, his big belly wrapped in a bath towel, standing at the door.

Harvey was right—the man was Kendrick.

"f**k you!" Harvey cursed and kicked Kendrick in the stomach.

"Ouch! It's you! Harvey! Why are you back?" Kendrick screamed in panic, retreating quickly as if he saw ghost.

With his furious eyes, Harvey lunged at Kendrick again.

Hearing the commotion, Chloe ran out with rumpled clothes.

"Harvey!" Chloe's face paled. But she quickly blocked him. "Are you crazy? Mr. Vale is your superior. Do you want to lose your job?"

Kendrick's panic disappeared，then he stood up in pain of the injured belly, pointing at Harvey, and bellowed, "I slept with your wife as a favor to you. How dare you hit me? Get the f**k out of here!"

"Why did you cheat on me? Why?" Harvey clenched his fists, his sanity crumbling bit by bit.

"Why?" Chloe sneered. "Because I don't want to smell that stinky sweat on the gifts you give me! I don't want my colleagues to tell me that the food they ate last night was delivered by my husband!"

With a lewd sneer, Kendrick grabbed Chloe's butt, and looked at Harvey arrogantly. "Did you hear that, loser? Now get out."

Seeing Kendrick's brazen attitude, Harvey laughed in anger. "This is my house, and you want me to get out? I'll kill you!" Sleeping with his wife was like trampling on his dignity as a man.

Harvey raised his fist and charged at Kendrick again. Kendrick's body was already drained from alcohol and s*x. On top of that, he had a car accident where his wife died, leaving him with a limp. He was no match for Harvey. Although he tried to resist, he was pinned to the ground and beaten unilaterally.

"Stop! Harvey, stop it!" Chloe yelled anxiously. If Kendrick got seriously injured, her future would be ruined. She glanced around and spotted a vase, smashing the vase over Harvey's head.

Bang!

The vase shattered into pieces, and blood began to flow down Harvey's face. A strong sense of dizziness hit him, but he forced himself to stay conscious.

Ignoring the blood on his face, Harvey looked at Chloe, feeling deep sorrow in his heart. Years of affection were worthless. For the sake of a lover, she didn't even care about his life!

Seeing Harvey's expression, Chloe hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit scared. But then she remembered how Harvey always pampered her. She straightened up and said, "What are you looking at? So what if I sleep with him? It's your fault for being useless!"

Harvey was filled with anger. "I'm useless? What have I ever done you wrong?"

For Chloe, he had done everything he could.

She wanted to eat a 1,000-dollar steak dinner, so he worked double shifts and didn't sleep for three nights to earn the money.

She wanted the latest smartphone and worried it would sell out, so he not only delivered food but also took on weekend labor jobs at construction sites.

At the thought of everything he had done for her, Harvey felt his heart bleeding with pain.

Chloe looked at him with disdain. "What I want is wonderful nightlife, romantic candlelight dinners, a luxury car that makes people envious, and handbags that make my colleagues jealous. You can't give me any of that, but Ken can!"

Chloe's denial of everything Harvey had done for her broke his heart. He sneered with a hoarse voice, "So it's all because of money, huh?" He walked to the door and picked up the gift he had planned to give her.

Chloe smirked disgustedly, "You think you can win me back with that cheap gift?"

Harvey's expression was cold. "This gift was indeed for you, but you no longer deserve it."

Chloe laughed mockingly, "What a joke! Do you think I need it? Let me tell you, Ken could buy ten of those for me without a second thought!"

'Ten of them?' Harvey gave her a cold glance and opened the box. Inside was a white bank card and a phone. He turned on the phone, and a voice message played, "Happy birthday, Mr. Stone. The family coming-of-age gift of 10 million dollars has been transferred."

This was a gift from the Stone family for their descendants' coming of age. The Stone family had a rule that before 24 years old, the members would not get any financial support from the family, not even a single cent.

But once they reached 24 years old, besides the 10-million gift, they would also gain monthly dividends from the family's global assets.

The phone was a custom device from the Stone family, with contact information for top-tier global powers. One could contact them directly through the phone to ask for help.

"10 million dollars?" Chloe's face paled dramatically when she heard the voice message. She stared intently at the card in the box, breathing heavily.

"Is that, is that a premium platinum card?" She had heard that this kind of bank card had a minimum limit of 10 million dollars, with no upper limit.

Could it be that Harvey really had 10 million dollars?
