Chapter 12

Penulis: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.

Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.

He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”

He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?

Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.

The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

The news was like thunder on the ground, spreading throughout Niumhi within a short time.

Everyone knew that this was a major reshuffle of the major family forces in Niumhi.

If any family could get York Enterprise to invest in their projects, it would grow rapidly and eventually become one of the top families in Niumhi!

The Zimmer family certainly would not remain indifferent. Senior Zimmer immediately held a family dinner and asked all family members to be present.

Mandy quickly called Harvey. She then asked him to go home and prepare to attend the dinner together.

Harvey hurried home. Meanwhile, Mandy was already sitting in her red Porsche, looking at the phone impatiently.

“Honey, I’m late.” Harvey trot all the way and came to Mandy.

Mandy wore a halter dress tonight, with a unique rose brooch on the chest.

“The Heart of Prague?” Harvey’s eyes slightly lit up. He knew where this thing came from. He never thought that she would like the thing he gave her so much that she could not wait to use it now.

However, Mandy was staring at Harvey unhappily. She said coldly, “If you continue to look at me like this, I’ll dig your eyes out…”

“Okay…okay…” Harvey was startled. He never expected that Mandy would discover him. Thus, he hurriedly diverted his gaze to another direction.

“Also, tonight is the family dinner. Just behave yourself. Don’t embarrass me.”

“Alright, I know.” Harvey got into the car. He then heard a yell from behind before he could put on his seat belt.

“Harvey, are you wearing torn clothes for the family dinner? Why do you reek of hot pot smell? Don’t tell me that you got these clothes from the garbage dump?” His mother-in-law—Lilian’s face became colder and colder. The more she looked at this live-in son-in-law, the more she disliked him.

Lilian wore a short evening gown, showing off her slender legs. She was mature and sexy, elegant and decent, generous and attractive.

Harvey’s styling was so horrible compared to her.

Nonetheless, Harvey did not want to argue with her. He just smiled and kept quiet.

Lilian was trembling with anger and said, “Are you stupid or deaf? You’re like a piece of trash! How did my daughter marry you in the first place? It’s a misfortune to the Zimmer family!”

“Mother, don’t be angry. You will ruin your makeup.” Mandy who was driving sighed and said. She had nothing to comment about Harvey’s appearance.

“Can I not be angry? I envy looking at other people’s son-in-law. Why is my son-in-law like this?” Lilian pointed at Harvey. “I’m telling you. Don’t think that it’s okay if you don’t speak. You will go get your divorce certificate with her early tomorrow morning. This is your compensation, understand?”

Lilian grabbed a handful of hundred-dollar bills from her handbag and threw them at Harvey’s face.

Harvey sat there, motionless as if he did not realize it.

Although Mandy felt sorry for him, she was still angry when she saw Harvey’s indifferent behavior. If only he could be a little smarter, she would not be this embarrassed.

Mandy suppressed her urge to drive Harvey out of the car.

At the gate of Zimmer Villa, dozens of cars have been parked there. All of them were famous luxury cars.

The hall was already full of people when they arrived.

Mandy’s younger sister—Xynthia had also arrived. However, she was wearing a school uniform today. It should have been too late for her to change after school.

Nevertheless, the school uniform brought out her unique youthful atmosphere. The sisters of the Zimmer family were the best-looking ones. Xynthia would also be incredibly pretty after she had grown up!

They sat down and other family members came to say hello. On this occasion, Harvey was like an invisible man. No one bothered to look at him.

He did not care. His status in the Zimmer family was just like that anyway. He was here tonight to join the fun. Thus, it was better to eat more than anything.

However, someone still wanted to give him a hard time. Xynthia sat next to him and said coldly, “Loser, do you know, starting from tomorrow, you’ll have to get out of the Zimmer family?”

    “Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated bef

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

  • Harvey York's Rise to Power   Chapter 15

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it? Harvey’s expression is so funny! He’s shocked! Hahaha!”Meanwhile, Zack stood up, pointed in the direction where Harvey was, and laughed.Many people saw Harvey’s expression and heckled him after hearing Zack’s words.Indeed, Harvey’s face was very dark at

    The entire Zimmer Villa was in silence at that moment. Almost everyone turned to look at Harvey in disbelief. That live-in son-in-law said everything in certainty. Could it be that he indeed knew who the new CEO who invested in York Enterprise was? Don did not even believe him. He smiled coldly and said, “Fine! Tell us! Who’s the new CEO in my enterprise?” Harvey stretched his hand out and pointed it at himself. He then said slowly, “The new CEO of York Enterprise is me.” Everyone was so shocked that they said nothing for a moment.But the next second...“You?” Don was stunned at first. He then held his belly and broke into a burst of laughter. Finally, he stopped laughing with much difficulty. He then looked at Senior Zimmer. “Senior Zimmer, I thought that your live-in son-in-law just likes to put on a show. But it surprised me to see him acting like a fool.” The moment he said that, Zack and the others broke into laughter too. They looked at Harvey just like they were l

  • Harvey York's Rise to Power   Chapter 17

    They were stunned and soon broke into a burst of laughter.Don sneered and laughed too. “Harvey, is this your evidence? Don’t you think it’s hilarious?”“Mr. Xander, why are you wasting your time talking to a fool? I don’t even believe anything he said!” At that moment, Zack could not endure it anymore. He stepped forward and snatched away Harvey’s old phone, and smashed it onto the floor. He then pointed at Harvey and scolded him, “You’re just a live-in son-in-law! Why are you always putting on a show? You even claimed that you’d got evidence! F*ck you!” “Get lost this instant! We’re disgusted by your very existence!”“How could we have such a person like you in our family…” “A good-for-nothing!” Everybody from the Zimmers took the initiative at that moment just because they felt that they had been humiliated deeply by Harvey. They certainly knew that Harvey couldn’t be the new CEO in York Enterprise, but they felt like Harvey was underestimating them in that instant.“

    Hearing what Don said, Senior Zimmer’s heart skipped a beat. ‘That’s right. If I let Harvey be with us still, the entire Zimmers would certainly be ruined by him.’“Senior Zimmer, it’s your party here tonight. It might be unfortunate if you took the initiative to beat him up. Let me help you give this insensible good-for-nothing a lesson!” Seeing that Don was about to beat Harvey up, Senior Zimmer had no intention to stop him.Besides, the others from the Zimmers were enjoying the scene too. They had long been disgusted by Harvey and were eager to see Don beating him up. Don smiled wickedly. He ran up a few steps, and he was about to swing a flying kick at Harvey’s face. He had gone to the gym to train himself up for a few years now. He even learned Taekwondo for a few years from a so-called private coach and gained a black belt. At that moment, his kick appeared quite ferocious and strong. “I remembered that Mr. Xander is an expert in Taekwondo with a black belt. It’s over

    ‘What?’Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘What’s happening?’ ‘That useless person just lifted his right hand slightly. Why did Don endure such a terrible fall?’‘Does that b*stard have such a skill?’ ‘Or is it true that every dog has its day?’ But most of them felt that Harvey was having some dumb luck, and Don was indeed unfortunate. Harvey just lifted his hand like that, and Don was thrown off terribly.“Harvey… just you wait and see…” Don was lying on the ground, shivering. He tried his best to get up. In that instant, he pointed at Harvey and scolded him vigorously, “I’ll ruin you! I’ll make you pay for it. Just you wait and see…” At that moment, everyone was fixing their eyes at Don, whose nose was bleeding. Then they turned to throw pitiful glances at Harvey. What kind of resources did that live-in son-in-law have? But Don was different. He was a middle-ranking employee in York Enterprise. If he had such an intention, it would certainly be relatively easy for him to ruin

    At the mention of Tyson Woods, everybody in the Zimmers drew in a cold breath. Who was Tyson? He was a famous person in Niumhi. A lot of people wanted to curry favor with him, but they were unable to do so. That future son-in-law—Don, was able to ask him to come over. Don was indeed quite an influential and powerful man.Even Senior Zimmer looked at Don approvingly. He was somewhat satisfied with that grandson-in-law. “You don’t want me to survive until tomorrow. Very well.” Harvey smiled. “I’m indeed curious. You’re about to lose everything, and you’re a useless person who will face bankruptcy soon. I wonder how you’re going to do that…” Someone burst into laughter. “Is he out of his mind? Mr. Xander is a rich youth. His one-million-cheque is still here. How could he say that Mr. Xander is going to lose everything and face bankruptcy? Does he even know what bankruptcy is?” “Oh! This live-in son-in-law always stays at home and is either watching TV or reading novels. He does

    Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t

    Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane

    Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some

    It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go

    "No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig

    Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey

    "Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w

    Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim

    Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
