“Hello, Sir Ray Hart. I am Sasha Larson from Mordu University. It is my honor to meet you today.”Sasha gave a bright smile while reaching out her fair white hand.Ray did not extend his hand in return. He frowned while asking, “Miss Yvonne Xavier, trash like this did everything in her power just to meet Prince York?“How could you be so indifferent about this matter?“What right does filth like this meet Prince York, with a body that’s rotten to the core and slept with God knows how many men? Tell her to get out of here this instant!”Ray waved his hand after his speech, signaling Sasha to leave.Sasha froze over in disbelief, clearly written all over her face.It was her first time encountering this kind of situation after living in this world for so many years.Not only did this man not look up to her looks, he even called her filth.But this was normal. With Sasha’s good looks and connections, there was no way she could ever come close to a true upper social circle.This
Harvey York looked at the list of names. There were three out of the ten top families in Country H that signed up.They were, respectively, the John family from the Golden Sands in seventh place.The Jean family from Mordu in ninth place.The Xavier family from Wolsing in tenth place.Other than that, a plethora of large enterprises and big corporations had signed up as well.Besides, some powerhouses from overseas, like Morgan Financial Group, were making a strong comeback.But those people had brought business visas this time. Based on the submitted information, it seemed like they were prepared to conduct actual business.After looking at the information, Harvey decided not to cancel the names of those overseas powerhouses.After all, if those people were to invest in Buckwood, he would gladly welcome them.Of course, if they were to come to cause a stir, Harvey could easily send them to their demise.When Harvey was taking his short break, a staff member hurried over and
At Buckwood Hotel.Sasha Larson had called over most of the idolizers at this moment. All of them gathered together to strategize how they could acquire the research project ahead of time the next day.Consultant York had already agreed to meet, after all. Sasha would surely be given a chance. With her way of doing things, how could she even pass up on such a good opportunity?“Oh, Sasha. You’re so capable!”“A lot of people don’t even have a chance to meet Consultant York ahead of time!”“But I didn’t think that he would choose to meet with you alone!”“Tell me, is Consultant York longing for Sasha’s good looks? If so, we must all go there to protect her!”The idolizers were filled with righteousness as if they would beat up anybody who was trying to make a move on Sasha.Sasha’s heart was filled with pride after hearing those people’s words.She showed a humble smile.“All of you! Stop spouting nonsense!“Consultant York is a prominent character. How could he possibly look
“Right, Sasha, there’s also something good that I haven’t told you yet!”“I heard that because of Harvey York, Regency Enterprise had gotten a lot of people returning the property they bought! There are even cash flow problems right as we speak!”“All the higher-ups in Regency Enterprise have strong opinions now, saying that they won’t go to work anymore if Mandy didn’t kick Harvey out and speak clearly about him and the people working for the company!”“Maybe Regency Enterprise would have a chance to be recorded in history as the first company that’s bankrupt because of a live-in son-in-law!”Right at this moment, one of Sasha’s lackeys reported another affair.“One blessing after another, I see!”Sasha felt delighted. She thought that it was worth coming to Buckwood this time.First, she might just be married into a wealthy family if she could meet Counselor York.Besides, it could not be any better if she could deal with Harvey to the point where he was forced to kill himse
On the next day.Buckwood Exhibition Center was in full swing to prepare for the forum.There had already been more than a thousand businesses that signed up to attend the forum.It was safe to say that this would be one of the biggest investment and business engagement forums ever to be held at Country H.Sasha Larson and her co-workers had arrived at the exhibition center early in the morning.“Sasha, I’m already in Buckwood. I’ll be going to meet Consultant York with Tim Zepeda from Buckwood Education System. You must seize the opportunity!“Other than the man, you must acquire the research project as well!”The deputy dean of Mordu University, Sasha’s godfather, Percy Williams, gave her a phone call.“Rest assured, Godfather. I’ll complete my mission!“There is no man in the world that I can’t get!”Sasha was joyfully making her look more beautiful at this moment.She had always been confident about her good looks.Her idolizers were showing admiration at this moment as
They had constantly been trying to defame this man with all their power.The king of all kept men in Buckwood was a title that they made up for him.In their eyes, Harvey York was no better than a street rat trembling in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave Buckwood.But Harvey was actually in the exhibition center!And he was standing with the deputy dean!Sasha Larson’s brain was literally fried. She subconsciously shouted at this moment, “Harvey, you filth! What are you doing here?! This isn’t someplace where you can just come to!”Everyone was dead silent after hearing her words.The staff members all tilted their heads up and glared at Sasha with an unbelievable expression, as if she did something heinous.Sasha felt chills crawl up her spine after feeling everyone's gaze.An unbelievable thought popped up in her head!At this moment, a staff member immediately walked up to her from the side and whispered, “Representative Larson, what are you saying?! He’s the a
Sasha Larson came back to her senses after being kicked around on the ground.She screamed horribly, “Godfather, please stop! Please stop! It hurts!”Percy Williams trembled even harder after hearing Sasha call him that. He immediately grabbed Sasha by the neck, lifted her up, and then constantly slapped her across the face.“Who’s your godfather?! Huh?!“Who’s your godfather?!“I’ll beat you to death if you keep on spouting nonsense!”Percy knew that he would be finished if he showed that he had relations with Sasha.Percy stopped his hand after a long while. Sasha’s cute little face was utterly ruined.She was twitching on the ground helplessly at this moment. Blood and tears were forming on the corners of her eyes.She never thought that Harvey York had an identity like this.If she knew, she would indulge him every chance she had! She would not even dare to offend him!But Harvey had no intention of letting the “father and daughter” off the hook.At that moment, he said
Since the man had spoken, he had no other choice but to cooperate.Mordu University had sent out an emergency message soon after apologizing to the citizens publicly and cleared Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer’s family name.At the same time, Sasha Larson was exposed using her good looks to do unspeakable things with the deputy dean of Mordu University, her so-called Godfather.Sasha was expelled from Mordu University.Percy was expelled as well.Both of them had a big fight in front of the university. Both of them also sustained severe injuries.But because of their notoriety, both of them turned into street rats. Nobody even bothered to send them to a hospital.Nobody even batted an eye even after they were lying on the ground for quite a while. They could only struggle to stand back up on their own in the end, limping to the hospital for treatment.After that, the duo had disappeared without a trace. It was said that they lived miserable lives.***Right when the investment a
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
