The moment the Yates family heard of Norton Yates’ words, giddiness flashed across their faces.This was what they call a total uplift in one’s social status!Now that they had the Yates from America supporting them, the Yates from Buckwood would be the most powerful family in Buckwood in the future!Recalling Mandy Zimmer’s attitude towards the Yates family, they were going to devise a plan to get revenge on her for sure!That night, everyone in the Yates family was too excited even to fall asleep.Most of them were already mentally gearing up, awaiting the next day to arrive.It’s because the event where they knelt before the entrance of Regency Enterprise was the most shameful thing in the history of the Yates family!After all, they’re from a family of state officials and had lived their lives like royalties. When had they ever been treated like that?Although there’s a saying that goes, it's never too late for a nobleman to get revenge, and now that this opportunity presen
The Yates from America were practically idols of the Yates of Buckwood.Arrogant, mighty, and wealthy!This kind of great family was what the Yates family aspired to become.Because only then would they be fearless of anyone at all.Norton Yates clapped his hand to get everyone’s attention before cracking a smile. “I’ll give you three minutes to summon Mandy Zimmer right this moment. If not, I don’t know what will happen.”After his sentence ended, more and more people appeared at the scene. Most of the workers of Regency Enterprise were cautiously watching Norton.It’s because all of them witnessed how good Norton's bodyguards were at fighting.The matter immediately shocked Mandy, who has initially been in a meeting with the authorities. She then went to the hall on the ground floor with several people following her behind.When she saw the Yates family standing behind Norton, Mandy’s expression changed as she could already guess what’s happening.“Mr. Norton, this is the sh
Mandy Zimmer’s attitude irritated Norton Yates.After all, his words were always prized and obeyed by everyone. The Yates of America were like kings in the state of Texas.When they had business in other countries, the Yates did things recklessly and fearlessly as they had America as their back.This was the first time someone dared to reject him, which instantly made him dissatisfied. He sneered. “There are things which you can’t dictate and control merely with your words, Mandy Zimmer!“Now that you have half the blood of the Yates, you’re nothing but a mere servant in our eyes!“How can a servant have the right to go against a master’s command?!”Mandy had a perplexed look on her face as she asked, “Mr. Norton, in a modern and civilized society like this, are your mindsets still stuck in the feudal era?“Master? Servant? Are you joking?“Also, the shares of Regency Enterprise are gifted by an authority. Even if I want to transfer the shares, I could only do that to the autho
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer was still acting stubborn and determined during a moment like this, everyone in the Yates family felt excited and satisfied.That’s because the more stubborn Mandy became, the worse the situation she would be in!At that moment, the Yates couldn’t help but to fuel the fire.“Mr. Norton, Mandy Zimmer has always been this disrespectful towards the elders. Putting aside the Yates of Buckwood, she wouldn’t even care if it’s you, the esteemed Yates family from America!”“That’s right! A person like her needs a lesson!”“There’s no need to say anything more to someone like her. Just beat her up and beat her cruelly. She’d only feel scared once that pretty face of hers is ruined after getting hit!”Everyone from the Yates family acted and spoke ruthlessly like bullies.If it weren’t for Norton Yates’ presence, they would’ve hit Mandy to death themselves.Norton waved his right arm to stop the Yates from continuing their tirade.Then, his cold gaze landed on Ma
Slurp!Norton Yates wetted his lips with his tongue as his gaze landed on Mandy Zimmer’s slim waistline.For him, Mandy Zimmer, who stood before him, was a dish.A delicious, mouth-watering dish.He’d get more excited if he started from her waist.Norton became so excited that he almost growled, imagining how Mandy would be twitching on the ground wailing in pain.Looking at Norton’s twisted expression, Mandy closed her eyes hopelessly.She didn’t think that anyone would be able to save her at the moment like this.Boom!However, at this crucial moment.Someone suddenly kicked off the entrance to the Yates’ family home.The giant door was smashed to the ground and made a loud bang.Everyone at the scene couldn’t help but turn over toward the direction of the sound.Everyone from the Yates family shuddered. After all, they were traumatized.Norton, on the other hand, knitted his brows together. Someone interrupted him just as he’s about to enjoy something. This obviously m
Norton Yates unconsciously shivered while being watched by Harvey York’s cold eyes.However, he became angry the next moment and shouted, “Take him down!”Following Norton’s order, the four blonde-haired and blue-eyed bodyguards who had initially held Mandy Zimmer stood upright and walked toward where Harvey was.They casually cracked their necks and knuckles. Those popping sounds could be heard and were a strong deterrent.“Honey, close your eyes. I’ll deal with this matter.”Harvey urged Mandy, fearing that she would be frightened.“Huh!”The bodyguard instantly sneered and threw a punch toward Harvey’s face.However, Harvey did not move an inch. Instead, he raised his right hand, directly grappled the opponent’s fist, and threw him down. The bodyguard was lying down on the ground moments after.Then, Harvey stepped on his face and kept stomping on it until it was crushed beyond recognition.The three remaining bodyguards showed fear on their faces and rushed forward at the
This scene caused the corners of the eyes of all the Yates family to twitch constantly, and they unconsciously backed away.There was not even one person who stepped forward to stop Harvey York at the moment.Slap!Harvey continued to poke with the cane in his hand toward Norton’s body.Norton’s clothes were ripped, leaving bloodstains that were right down to the bone on his body.Norton, who was initially standing, was thrown on the ground this time, rolling back and forth, screaming.Slap, slap, slap!Harvey did not intend to stop. Instead, he continued to do it indifferently.Finally, the cane broke. Only then, Harvey casually threw the broken piece in his hand on the ground.At this moment, Norton, who was on the ground, had no strength left to scream.He was no different from a dead person except for the occasional twitching of his body.Even if he was sent to the hospital now, it was hard to say whether he could be rescued or not.“Honey, let’s go home.”Harvey took
The eyes of the people from the Yates family were full of awe upon hearing Ben’s words.Grandma Yates even said, “Ben, according to what you said, does it mean that Third Master Yates could get rid of Harvey York by himself without resorting to external force?”“Of course, Third Master Yates could easily crush Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, regardless of fighting skills, wealth, or power!“Harvey would be over as long as the Third Master Yates is willing to come!“I don’t believe that Mandy still dared to be so stubborn as soon as Harvey was out of the story. In the end, Regency Enterprise would eventually fall into the hands of the Yates family!”The people from the Yates family exchanged glances after hearing this. Then, they burst into laughter.Putting it this way, the ones who would benefit in the end would be them, the Yates family of Buckwood, as long as this matter was handled properly.Grandma Yates pondered for a long time and said, “Ben, is there any way to let the T
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
