“What are you trying to say, Quinn Zimmer.” Mandy Zimmer scolded as she had just been through a rough time. Mandy glared at Quinn.“I think you know what I’m trying to say, don’t you?” Quinn replied with a smirk.“I pitied you for having such a useless husband, but who would’ve known that you’re ‘that’ kind of a woman.”“I heard that your husband hadn't even touched your hand for the past three years, I doubted it at first, but now I’m kinda convinced, since you had an affair!” Quinn ridiculed.‘Affair?’Mandy was outrageous when she heard this as she thought that Quinn was insulting her innocence.“Quinn Zimmer, did you brush your teeth this morning? Your words stink! Don’t you know defamation is a crime?” Mandy scolded angrily.“Wow someone’s not bold enough to admit what she’d done! Tell me, did you solve the issue of the commercial centre project?” Quinn talked back confidently.“Of course I did!” Mandy answered.“Oh yeah? Then tell me, how much did it cost?” Quinn asked w
“Mandy Zimmer, you better tell me everything this instant!” Senior Zimmer ordered as he slapped the table.At that moment, Mandy took a glance at Quinn Zimmer and Zack Zimmer, she was sure that something happened before she arrived, most probably Zack’s doing, or else Senior Zimmer wouldn’t have given her such a cold attitude.She was originally suspecting Harvey York instead of Zack, but judging from the situation, it seems that Zack’s most probably the one who wanted to frame her.“Grandpa, I’ve already solved the problem.” Mandy answered as she gasped for air, trying to calm herself down.“We know that you’ve solved it, what we want to know is how did you solve it!” Quinn interrupted.“You didn’t leave Covey Chad’s place last night did you? Mandy Zimmer I’ll tell you this, it’s fine that you don’t want to be with your useless husband, it’s also fine if you want to find someone else, but could you at least don’t tarnish our reputation? Couldn’t you divorce first before finding s
“Why would you say that brother Tyson? We’ve always respected you and treated you seriously.” Senior Zimmer replied as he was worried about Tyson Woods’s attitude.One wrong step that day and the Zimmers could face a bigger issue.“Respect? Do you Zimmers take framing as a sign of respect?” Tyson asked with a sneer as he snatched the gunny sack from the man’s head.As soon as Zack Zimmer saw the man’s face, Zack’s face went pale as the man was nobody else than Covey Chad, he was just unsure why Covey was in the hands of Tyson.“You asked my subs to interfere with the Yorks’ businesses? Even if you Zimmers wanted to die, I still want to be alive.” Tyson said after he gave Covey a kick.“Brother Tyson, what happened actually?” Senior Zimmer asked with a trembling voice.“Say it!” Tyson ordered Covey and gave him another kick.Since Tyson had his time with Covey last night, Covey now admits to be Tyson’s subordinate.“Boss, Senior Zimmer, I was the one who was causing trouble at t
“Zack Zimmer, how could you do something so despicable to your own family!”“How could you frame Mandy for her efforts?”“You’re a waste of trust!”“I’m very disappointed in you!”The crowd changed their standpoints as usual.“Grandpa, it has nothing to do with me, I don’t know anything!” Quinn Zimmer quickly tried to clarify as she knew that she would also get into trouble since she’s the one who started the topic.“Father, I believe Zack just had a misunderstanding, please don’t be mad at him. Luckily nothing serious happened, I’ll take care of him when we get home.” Sean Zimmer asked with a frown as he knew that he and his son would get into trouble if they really got kicked out of the family.Senior Zimmer put up a stern look as he was also unsure how he should settle the conflict.He knew that he should give Mandy a solution or else the other Zimmers would feel unjust, but he just couldn’t force himself to kick Zack out of the family because of a woman since he thinks that
Zack Zimmer was about to burst out a laugh at that moment as he thought that he would be facing serious punishments, but it seems that Senior Zimmer saved him again.Judging from the situation, Zack’s position in the Zimmers remains unshakeable.‘Mandy you b*tch, you really think that you’re capable of opposing me?’ Zack cursed Mandy Zimmer in his thoughts.“Grandpa, I’ve realized my mistakes, I’ll take some time to reflect on myself, then I’ll come back to help our family.” Zack said while purposely making a regretful look.“I’m happy that you got this mindset already, Zack.” Senior Zimmer praised.“I don’t want any information about today leaked to anyone, if I find anyone talking about this outside, I will take actions toward all of you.” Senior Zimmer threatened as he took a quick glance at the crowd.Senior Zimmer was obviously biased toward Zack, without any disguise.Mandy gasped for a breath of air, nearly crushing her teeth as she was so mad about how Senior Zimmer hand
Harvey York frowned slightly upon that statement and said, “Senior Zimmer is being too lenient. Zack Zimmer did something as serious as that, Senior Zimmer should at least demote his position in the company to be a lesson to all the other Zimmers. Isn’t it funny to just have him reflect on what he had done?”“Moreover, Senior Zimmer did not only show bias to Zack but also did not care about Mandy’s feelings…”“Look at you, analyzing all of these with that smart-as* of yours? What’s even the point?” Lilian Yates snorted in disapproval. “What did you do today? Why didn’t you go to the company with Mandy, at least to persuade them and help her! Worthless trash!”Harvey York didn’t say anything as he had gotten used to the personality of Lilian Yates, the only thing he sighed upon was the fact that Senior Zimmer planned to knock down Mandy Zimmer for sure.Harvey knew Mandy wouldn’t dare to fight the Zimmers, in that case should he be referred to as shameless or arrogant?“Okay let’s
The next morning, Harvey York who slept in the study was woken up by Mandy Zimmer. “Harvey, grandpa wants everyone there urgently and even you included!”“Okay.” Harvey nodded, he knew clearly what happened since he ordered something to be done yesterday, seeing how efficient of a worker Yvonne Xavier was, the Zimmers should be receiving York Enterprise’s summon letter by yesterday night, right?Nine in the morning, every one of the Zimmers was in the living hall of the villa, Senior Zimmer’s face was dark and solemn as he sat on the grand chair.Yesterday night York Enterprise sent a legal letter with a clear statement, the fact that the Zimmers dared to ruin the project between the Yorks and the Zimmers, simply meant that the Zimmers just wanted to get money out of the Yorks, or so it seemed to them.Now the York’s wanted the Zimmers to take responsibility for it, which meant paying the penalty of ten times the investment amount, which was five hundred fifty million dollars.And
“That’s right Mandy, none of the Zimmers managed to get a single contract with the Yorks before, you’re really the best one here, if you’re there everything would most likely be solved.”“You’re the one responsible for the commercial centre project, you won’t reject will you?”“Mandy, I think this is the best way to solve it, why don’t you drop by the York’s once again?”All their arrows were pointed right at Mandy Zimmer as they’re expecting her to solve this big issue for the Zimmers so that they wouldn’t go bankrupt.Mandy was simply speechless. She never would have thought the incident from yesterday would lead to what was happening right now.The funniest thing was that it was those people who made it clear that Zack Zimmer’s the hope for the Zimmers’ future and what now? They wanted her to solve the matter again? She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at this anymore.“Mandy, you won’t disagree with this right? This commercial centre project is yours and because of your pr
"An outsider like you came to my wedding to steal my bride… Who do you think you are?" Shingen said righteously. "Do you think we Islanders can be bullied? Do you think that the Shinto Way can be harassed so easily? I'm telling you right now… No matter what happens to you, the Island Nation will file a protest against Country H. We will demand reparations from your country!" When Shingen said that, he was implying that Harvey was humiliating the entire Island Nation.Hearing what Shingen had to say, all the Islanders were angry at Harvey as well, as if they were facing a common enemy.While this place still belonged to Country H, right now they were standing at the Island Nation embassy. It was a territory belonging to the Island Nation.Everything that Harvey did not only humiliated the Shinto Way, but also the entire Island Nation!The moment that thought crossed their minds, the leader of the Shindan Way's elites who were enemies with Harvey stood up and said maliciously, "H
At this time, Leighton bore the face of one who was questioning Harvey in the name of justice and one who would have his vengeance soon. After all, he had just been kicked out of Country H Commercial by Harvey earlier.He didn't expect to be able to collect that debt so soon. It hadn't even been a week yet, and he already had a chance to humiliate Harvey—to make Harvey suffer a fate worse than death.In such a situation, Leighton was delighted.The men following him were turncoats like him, and all of them looked at Harvey with eyes full of disdain.Harvey raised his head and looked at them with contempt. If there were people he hated more than the Islanders, it had to be these traitorous scumbags. They all believed they were better than others after they became the Islanders' hounds.In truth, they had no use at all other than being used to repulse their own country and people."The assistant-chairman… Oh, wait. I forgot, You're no longer one," Harvey calmly said. "You're now ju
"In this scene, it seems like I'm Paris…" Shingen sighed. "But I believe you're quite familiar with the story, yes? You know'll will happen to Romeo and Juliet in a world where there's no happy ending? You should learn from the stories. Or are you going to fake your death now? If you do that, you'll get the pity of everyone who hears about your story, right? But according to the customs of my country, what you do is called adultery!"It was obvious that not only Shingen wanted to kill Harvey, but he was going to ruin Harvey emotionally. That was why he wasn't in a rush to make any moves. Every word he said was full of mockery.When Harvey heard that, he looked at Shingen. "It's not up to you to decide whether we're committing adultery. As the scion of the Shinto Way, don't you feel ashamed for stopping so low? With your identity and status, you can have any woman you want, but you decide to threaten her. All I can say is that you've lost my respect.""Lost your respect?" Shing
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
