Chapter 14

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
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 to a loser!”

“I have regarded this marriage as a joke for three years. But how much pain has Mandy suffered? I love Mandy. I don’t want to see her endure such pain. Hence, I am here today just to say this out in front of the entire Zimmer family…”

Don took a deep breath. “I want to marry Mandy. I want to make her happy!”

He shook the entire room. ‘Don Xander is too straightforward. He did not give any face to Harvey! Harvey is also here now.’

‘However, think about it carefully, Harvey, the live-in son-in-law is just a loser. Why should Don save face for him? He’s not afraid to offend him.’

Harvey would be so pissed off now. He had such bad luck!

“I have been thinking about Mandy over the past few years!” Don continued. “I can sacrifice everything for her. I have brought over the gains of my hard work over the years today…”

Don slowly opened the gift box while talking. There was a check lying in it and the number written on it was shocking.

“This is a cash check of ten million dollars. As long as Mandy is willing to marry me, then this will be my betrothal gift!” Don said loudly, “Even my property which is worth tens of millions of dollars can be put under Mandy’s name.”

“What?!”

Everyone gasped and their faces turned pale.

The people of the Zimmer family took the check and handed it to Senior Zimmer. Everyone’s eyes lit up at this moment.

Ten million dollars was certainly not a big deal for the Zimmer family. Although the Zimmer family was a second-class family in Niumhi, its assets were more than a billion dollars.

However, Don was able to take out a total of ten million in cash! For any major family, most of the family’s capital was fixed assets. They often lack liquidity or either the liquidity was low.

Taking the Zimmer family as an example, it was good to have tens of millions of cash in the book.

If the Zimmer family could get the cash from Don, they could take the business to the next level.

Meanwhile, everyone’s gaze fell on Mandy. Some women hoped that they were the ones being proposed now.

“It’s so romantic! Ten million dowry!”

“Money is one thing. But the most important thing is to have the heart…”

“Yes, this kind of love is so enviable. Why could no one treat me like this?!”

Many people were talking about it. Guys were jealous; girls envious.

Especially for some women, they were crazy about Don.

Lilian and Xynthia were looking at Don with satisfaction. After all, he was a talented and handsome man. He was a thousand times better than Harvey.

Don continued. “Mandy, did you receive the Prague roses with the Heart of Prague in it yesterday afternoon? That is a gift from me!”

Don was full of pride when it came to this.

His spy in Mandy’s company informed him about it yesterday afternoon.

He just pretended to be the sender after he had confirmed that the person who gave the gift did not disclose his identity. Everyone would believe what he said anyway.

“What? The Heart of Prague?!”

“The legendary Heart of Prague?! Is it the one that Mandy is wearing now? It is said that there’s only one in the world. It is very valuable, but not for sale. It can’t be bought with money! Mr. Xander, you are so incredible…”

“This, this, this…”

Many women were in awe when their gaze fell on Mandy.

The Heart of Prague, the legendary jewel! It was jointly designed by many well-known art masters. It was known as the treasure of Prague. They never thought it would appear here today.

Harvey suddenly stood up. This time, he got angry.

Don was too shameless! He was the one who gifted the Heart of Prague to his wife. How dare he falsely claim that it was his gift?

What was even more annoying was that everyone believed him!

    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

    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

    Don quickly came back to his senses. He then smiled and tried to make it up. “It's nothing. The vice president asked me to have a drink together. I’ve got no time today. Hence, I rescheduled to meet up with him tomorrow.”Everyone in the Zimmer family was shocked when they heard about it. The vice president of York Enterprise, asking Don to have a drink together?Moreover, Don rejected him and even rescheduled it for tomorrow. He did have some status and face!Everyone in the Zimmer family could not help but step forward and gather around Don to please him.At this time, a squeal of brakes could be heard from the gate of the villa. Several black commercial vehicles stopped at the gate.Then, the car doors were pushed open. A dozen strong men got out of the cars carrying watermelon knives and baseball bats.A wicked man wearing a white shirt was walking in the middle among those brawny men. It was the legendary Tyson Woods.Meanwhile, he was holding a cigarette between his lips a

    Harvey glanced at Mandy in surprise. Harvey initially felt that his wife had neglected him since the beginning and did not care about him at all. Thus, he never thought that she would care about his safety at this moment. His heart warmed up thinking of this.However, Mandy did not notice the change of emotion in Harvey’s mind. She was extremely nervous at this moment!Who was this? This was Tyson Woods—the well-known Brother Tyson.

    Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip

    "I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia

    "Alright, let's put that aside for now," Harvey said, ending the topic. "If word got out, we might force Dan to do everything he can to kill me."He shrugged. "Let's have some proper food now. Why hasn't the main dish been served yet? Didn't you order extra just now?" Harvey glanced at Alexei.Alexei chuckled. "Don’t worry about it, Big Bro. I ordered extra and all their signature dishes."He purposely showed Harvey the menu for the signature dishes. Looking at the number of zeroes behind the items, Harvey was speechless. It was just a meal… It didn't need to cost them thousands.Alexei chuckled again. "Don't worry about paying. I'll be straight with you. This restaurant is owned by Belladonna Cult, so Senior Vaida is its owner. She'll sign the bill off later, so we don't have to pay. Don't sweat it. After this, we'll come here more frequently for meals and drinks. We might not be able to go to the other places, but this place is fine, right?"Alexei's expression was one of

    “According to the rules of Belladonna Cult, everything in the Belladonna Cult will go to big bro Harvey after you get married to him. Only then will we have enough support to go against him until the end!" Alexei said through gritted teeth.He wasn't really that foolish. He knew the best time to act. At the very least, they shouldn't confront Dan head-on now. Otherwise, none of them could afford to bear the consequences.Harvey looked at the two of them, speechless. What were they talking about? Why were they talking about marrying him? They had to be joking about him marrying Vaida, right?Vaida was indeed quite beautiful and had a curvaceous figure, but they didn't have much feelings for each other. There was no reason for them to get married. Anyway, this was not a good time to meet with Dan.Harvey sat up straight and said to Vaida softly. "I appreciate it, Vaida. I know you want to get justice for me, but if you ask me, this is where this stops now. There's no need to escala

    "Harvey, I don't think you should go to your training hall late unless absolutely necessary. I believe Sverker and Ghostface will definitely come attack you. Even if you must go, let me know in advance. I'll have someone from Belladonna Cult accompany you," Vaida said seriously.It was obvious that she didn't spend her days idly after she came back. She had already eliminated certain elements within the Belladonna cult and regained some control over the cult.Harvey simply smiled after hearing that. "Don't worry. I can handle it myself.""That's right, Senior Vaida! He's one of the top elites in the world!" Alexei said almost in a mumble as he stuffed a sticky date pudding into his mouth. "You didn't see just how good he was back in the casino. The Nine Wicked Blades from the Origin Sword Style was quite dangerous, yes? But in the end? They lost to him, and he only used one finger! You can't compare his powers with ordinary people."Alexei quickly gobbled up all the food on the tab

    Hearing the sincerity in Dan's voice, Clarion was at a sudden loss for words. He had said so much and did nothing wrong, but why must he be the one to take the fall?Did they know nothing about the meaning of forever?No… They knew—they knew exactly what was happening here.Clarion had a feeling that if he took these accusations upon himself, there was only one path waiting for him—an extremely painful death.Coming to this realization, Clarion took a deep breath and said slowly, " I'll say it one more time. You can order me to die, and you can even make me disappear forever, but you cannot destroy my reputation forever. Between losing my reputation and death… I would rather die!"As soon as he finished, he kicked the coffee table in front of Dan and left the office without looking back.-"Tsk! I didn't expect Dan to have made such a lapse of judgment. Regardless of what happened, Clarion was still loyal to him. Even though he became somewhat hesitant after I saved him, he stil

    Hearing that, Neve was well aware of Clarion's frustration. If things were to continue like this, Clarion would become Dan's puppet even if he remained unscathed.Dan likely intended to stabilize his social circle and prevent Clarion from aligning with Harvey. For some reason, Neve felt that forcing Clarion in such a manner might not be beneficial."Alright, Clarion. We're all adults here," Poisonless said with a smile, trying to ease the tension. "All of us here know full well of your calculations. While you've been with Dan all these years, you have never fully dedicated yourself to him. You acted like a fencesitter so that when the time comes, you can place your bets on someone else."And now, instead of holding you responsible over what happened in the past, Dan is giving you a chance to redeem yourself. By sacrificing your reputation, you'll be able to regain his full trust. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal."Also, do you honestly believe it's mere coincidence

    Dan looked nonchalant. Feigning sincerity, he said calmly to Clarion, "I have two reasons for doing this. "Firstly, I want to prevent this matter from affecting others. Since you've already been dragged into the mud, it's better for you to take the fall alone and protect everyone else. Secondly, it's clear that Harvey York is the one who has offended Sky Plane and you're simply taking the fall for him. I did this so I could anger Harvey."I've already thought of a solution to resolve this issue for you. All you need to do now is to release a statement clarifying that the person Sky Plane is really going for is Harvey. Criticize him, and the public opinion should shift in your favor."You should trust us. Public opinion is still ours to control," Dan said confidently. He shrugged, as if he had everything under control. "There's no way Harvey will survive this unscathed. I've already received news that Origin Sword Style's Sverker and Origin Ninjutsu's Ghostface had left Sky Plan

    But Clarion didn't care about Neve's signal despite how much he liked her.He simply looked straight at Dan and said slowly, "It's my fault to come here without an invitation, but I have a reason to do so! Something's making me unable to hold myself back! I hope you can give me an explanation…"Clarion pulled out his phone and tapped open a news article, putting it in front of Dan. When Neve saw how Clarion dared to question Dan directly, her expression darkened. She instinctively glanced at the content, and her eyes twitched. While Dan did say that he would pin the blame on Clarion, she didn't expect that Dan would make Clarion take the fall for everything.Neve was smart enough to see the truth—someone was doing this to get back at Dan, and Clarion was only taking the fall. However, she didn't say it out loud so as not to complicate matters. Dan didn't reply and simply asked curiously, "Why do you think that this is my doing and not that Harvey you've aligned with right now?
