Chapter 437
The sea breeze caressed Vicky’s cheek. Jackie glanced at the time while he tried to call Harvey, but his
phone was unreachable.
Vicky stood next to Jackie and asked, 'What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jackie shook his head thoughtfully. "I don't know. Mister Sparks' phone is turned off."
Half an hour had passed since they arranged a time to meet up, but none of them heard anything from
Harvey, which was an ominous sign that implied Harvey might be in trouble.
10 minutes later, Jackie made one final phone call to Harvey and finally made a decision. "Miss Shaw,
something might've happened to Mister Sparks. We shouldn't be out in the open, or others might find
us. Let's go back for now. We'll have to wait until I reach Mister Sparks."
She nodded. "Sure."
To prevent having their hideout spot discovered, Jackie sent her to another apartment and once she

—"
She nodded. "Go ahead. Don't worry about me. I won't leave the room or open the door for anyone."
Jackie could not help but stare at her.
Though Vicky was also from a wealthy family, she did not seem to fit into the typical stereotype of a
high-status young woman.
Both Alexander and Jackie thought that Vicky was a much better match for Harvey in comparison to
Gloria.
Perhaps it was because Gloria was frequently exposed to arts like music, she was sensitive and
sentimental, so she would often feel hurt by just a few words others said. However, Gloria simply
occupied a place in Harvey's heart, and even when Vicky was engaged to him, Gloria's importance to
him remained unparalleled.
"Miss Shaw, if anything happens, just call me. I won't be gone for too long," Jackie said.
"Sure."
Jackie left.
However, shortly after that, a group of people snuck up to the apartment. The head of the group asked,
"Are you sure this is the place?"
One of the thugs whispered in response, "Easton, this has to be it. Harvey's right-hand man, Jackie,
was seen leaving this apartment! You were the one who said that you saw Harvey buying a bracelet
the day before yesterday, right? We're definitely right."
The group was a gang of local thugs who had a grudge against Harvey in the past.
They did not have the chance to resume their activities until after Harvey was imprisoned, but time
changed and despite their previous success in Stoneford City, the gang was barely surviving in a much
smaller city in the present.
Whenever Easton thought about their former glory, he would curse at Harvey in resentment.
One day, he received an update about spotting Harvey at a jewelry store.

Harvey's portrait was seen in Easton’s house, and he would curse at the portrait every single day, so all
his subordinates recognized Harvey's face.
Thugs were often quick on their feet and managed to spot Harvey despite his disguise. Since the gang
had been in Jencity for years and had countless connections, Harvey had not noticed he was being
followed.
"Ha! I didn't expect him to get out of prison so soon. I didn't even hear about it..." Easton sneered
viciously. "If this is the case, we should make sure he receives a grand welcome." He glanced at his
men and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to capture his little lover."
One of his men smiled fawningly. "Don't worry, Easton. Jencity is our territory, and it's a piece of cake to
kidnap a woman. Just go back and rest.
I guarantee you that I'll have the woman delivered to you within an hour."
Easton nodded with contentment and left.
Knock, knock!
When Vicky heard knocking on her door, she frowned.
