“What? We, the Yates family, are so hot at the moment. And still, some people resigned from the company under the Yates family?”Grandma Yates and others could not believe it.Did those people not understand how strong the Yates family would be next?Why did they resign right this time?They were certainly not showing respect to the Yates family!Most importantly, those who resigned were the core personnel of Silver Nimbus Enterprise.Once they left, the entire Silver Nimbus Enterprise would be in a state of suspension.Just when Grandma Yates was frowning…Suddenly, Ben Yates’ mobile phone rang again.“What? A few senior executives have resigned? Even you, the personnel executive, also want to resign? Making this call is only to show me some respect?”Ben was shocked.Just when he hung up the phone, the phone rang again.“What? The construction team of Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort announces the withdrawal of cooperation with us?“The workers left directly?“What? Even t
Soon, the people from the Yates family went out together and finally managed to find out what happened.“It turns out that Mandy Zimmer has blindly invested a lot of money to speed up the progress of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project!”“Now that there is no money in the company account. Those executives resigned because they didn’t get their salaries this month!”“The construction team didn’t get the monthly payment. So naturally, they stopped working too!”“Also, rumors outside are spreading that Silver Nimbus Enterprise is in debt. So, those who bought the villas come and forcefully request to check-out!”“As for the bet-on agreement, it truly exists. Mandy signed it with Sky Corporation in the name of the company. It is said that this is a condition for her to become the CEO!”“In short, it’s all because of Mandy!”“This little b*tch actually threw a low ball to the Yates family!”“We even thought that we got a bargain!”After clarifying the things, all the Yates fa
Finally, the small and medium shareholders agreed to give the Yates family a few days to raise funds after the family had run their mouths dry.As a result, the Yates family needed to pay a hefty amount of liquidated damage since they were only given a few days' time. The total amount that they needed to pay was seven million and eight hundred thousand dollars.Although the Yates family was numb in the head at that moment, they agreed to the price to solve the crisis in front of their eyes.When the small and medium shareholders had left, the Yates family was dead silent.Everyone had cold sweat dripping down their faces. Their expressions were utterly horrible.Right when they all thought that all of it was over, a dozen pickup trucks suddenly stopped outside.Soon after, a bunch of roguishly looking gangsters immediately rushed inside.They were the suppliers of the building material all along.The gangsters only came because there was a payment overdue for a few days already
“Apologize! And then repay the debt!” Leyton Luv said while gritting his teeth.How would Finn Yates even be willing?He was the third-in-command of the Buckwood Police Station, after all. It would be too embarrassing for him to bow and apologize to those lowly suppliers.At this moment, Grandma Yates walked forward with an ugly scowl on her face.“Finn, there’ll be big trouble if you won’t solve the small ones. Go and apologize right now!“Ben, take out everything from our accounts and pay off the debts immediately!”Finn and Ben Yates were not willing at all.But Grandma Yates’ expression at that moment was as cold as ice. They had no choice but to do it.Finally, Finn gritted on his teeth and bowed to apologize to the suppliers.Ben, on the other hand, went and took out thousands of dollars from the Yates family’s bank account. They even had to mortgage a few of their cars to acquire a million and five hundred thousand dollars to pay off the supplies.All the suppliers had
“What? Every one of you seemed more energetic than the last when you got the money and benefits from the family!“Now that the Yates family is in a crisis, all of you just turn into mutes?”Grandma Yates furiously slammed her cane on the ground while trembling with anger.Everyone’s heads were hanging even lower. None of them could open their mouths and answer her.Because they never expected this affair to happen!“Now speak! What do we do about this? How do we clean up this mess?” Grandma Yates continued to exclaim furiously.“Grandmother, I think that we’ve been deceived by that bastard, Mandy Zimmer!”“Just think about it. We were the ones to point out that Mandy needed to give us all of her shares if she wanted Harvey York to stay alive!”“But the shares are worth three hundred million dollars! What kind of man is worth that money?”“And she just gave it to us like that!”“I think that she did it intentionally. She knew full well that Silver Nimbus Enterprise is a huge m
The Yates family was devising a strategy to get Mandy Zimmer back and fix the mess.Mandy was researching which industry to sink her hands into and reestablish another company.Harvey York had been encouraging her after all, telling her that Buckwood’s market would be massive and that there would be many opportunities.Besides, Mandy had always been a stubborn woman. She would always get back up from where she fell.With Harvey’s support, it reinforced her thought to start another business.She was at the Gardens Residence researching for plans, preparing to look for an angel investor.At that moment, Grandma Yates actually called her.“Mandy, you little bastard!“The Yates family has never done anything wrong to you, have we?!“How dare you plot against the family from the beginning?!“You deserve to die!“I hate it! When Lilian that bastard had you, I should’ve just made her abort you!“If that were the case, the family won’t end up like this!”Grandma Yates was scolding
Grandma Yates uttered her words full of virtue at that moment.She was playing both God and the Devil!Naturally, she knew of Mandy Zimmer’s personality.And that was her soft heart and her strong sense of family.The Yates family could leave everything behind for money and other gains.But Mandy might not do so.The point was already apparent when she could not bear to divorce Harvey York.If it were Phoebe Yates, a husband like this would be kicked to the ground by her.“Oh, Mandy. This is the last chance I’m able to give you. We can talk things out if you’re willing to come back!“If you don’t think of yourself, at least, think of your mother!“I’m her mother!”Grandma Yates was extremely gracious as if she were another person.The true meaning of reward after punishment.The words did slightly move Mandy’s heart.But in reality, she did not care much for Silver Nimbus Enterprise right now.But she hoped to keep the ties with the Yates family.It was because she over
Mandy Zimmer gritted her teeth lightly and sighed after a moment, not uttering a single word.She was only nice, not stupid. How could she not understand what the Yates family meant?But she could not pass the nagging feeling in her heart.Now that Harvey York brought the matter out into the open, the burden in her heart had been lifted.“Darling, thank you. I understand that they only treat me like a tool. I won’t listen to them again.“The Yates family can just die on their own.”Even though Mandy said that, her heart still slightly ached for the family.But Harvey was prepared not to give the Yates family another chance.He sent Xynthia Zimmer to survey for universities as an excuse to send Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates out of Buckwood to wander around Mordu and Wolsing for the time being.Under those circumstances, the Yates family had no way of contacting Simon and Lilian.***At the Yates family household.Everyone was desperately trying to call Mandy’s family but to
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
When she was on the brink of getting killed, Tina wanted to drag Coco down with her. She even blurted quite a few secrets. The problem was, she remembered the red exclamation marks when she sent out her voice messages.That meant she probably still had time. She didn't need to go against Coco permanently. She still had time to patch things up. As for Harvey… To someone like Tina, he seemed too good of a person to be true.She instantly knew who she should cross between the two. Offending Harvey? She would at most be slapped a few times. Offending Coco? Well, she would face certain death. As the thought crossed her mind, Tina took a deep breath and put on a sincere expression."Please, Mr. Representative! I understand what you're saying, and I know who I should stand with. However, I'm just a manager for Port View Restaurant. The most I know is Princess Coco taking advantage of the restaurant."The problem is that I don't have proof of that! Even if I do, it won't deal any substan
The way Tina saw it, she wouldn't have fallen so far if not for Harvey and Vaida refusing to listen to her and even humiliating her in Port View Restaurant. It was all Harvey's fault!"Looks like I've saved someone ungrateful. I saved your life after going through so much effort and even got you here by spending so many resources. But you? You look at me as if I've butchered your entire family."Harvey casually grabbed a vitamin water. After opening its cap, he put a straw in and fed it to Tina. "Even after this, you still didn't dare to be angry at the person who wanted to kill you. You still wanted to pin the blame on me, didn't you? Do you think your savior won't kill you? Or do you think that Coco is scarier than me?"Harvey sighed. "No wonder the saying goes that the righteous always live a shorter life compared to the wicked. If everyone who was saved acted just like you and didn't know how to be grateful, no one in this world would do good anymore. If Grand City's moral
"We already know the answer without even having to see it, right?" Harvey said to Vaida with a shrug. Then, he gave Tina's phone, which he had picked up earlier, to Vaida. Vaida was slightly stunned. After a few tries, she managed to unlock the phone and the Facebook Messenger app popped up. When they looked at the red exclamation marks, Harvey and Vaida knew very well that this wasn't just a normal conversation.Vaida tapped on the replay button, and their expressions began to change—especially hers. Her expression changed from one of calm to one of searing fury. Even her breathing was getting laborious.Harvey extended his hand and patted her shoulder with a sigh.This was normal, however. Things were extremely complicated in Grand City. Some of the truths revealed right now were within his deduction.-Around six in the evening, Tina fully awakened after the anesthetics inside of her had finally lost their effects after surgery. She was currently in a private hospital owned b
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
