“Senior Zimmer said he wants somebody to share my responsibilities, so he made Zack the vice chairman of Zimmer Enterprise.” Mandy spat angrily. “He even told me to discuss things with Zack if anything happens.” “I see.” Harvey frowned. “I never imagined Senior Zimmer would be shameless to this extent, just to suppress your power within the family.” “He clearly said that if I managed to settle our problems, he’d give me the sole responsibility for the shopping centre project and the company finances.” Mandy was puzzled, unable to understand how things had escalated to this point.“It’s quite simple.” Harvey said. “He doesn’t want you to have too large an authority in Zimmer Enterprise. It’ll affect Zack’s status. After all, for him, Zack is the heir of the Zimmers!” “Why? Isn’t he afraid I might refuse to help?” Mandy could not accept this. “If it wasn’t for me, would York Enterprise have done the Zimmers a favor? If I didn’t care about the Zimmers, how long can they survive?”
At the end of the day, the secretary was just an outsider. He could only give some reminders to Senior Zimmer during critical moments. However when Senior Zimmer had made a decision, no ordinary person could change it. Besides, Senior Zimmer assumed Mandy would most probably refrain from doing anything stupid. Mandy needed protection from a family like the Zimmers. If the Zimmers were bankrupt, she wouldn’t be able to lead a good life either. Senior Zimmer shook his head and inhaled deeply. “What I’m worried most is if Mandy will make more contributions as time goes by.”“She’s just a useless woman. What if her achievements grow so much, she starts to influence my status? She’ll become the chairman directly. When that happens, should we abandon the Zimmer name and take up the York surname instead?”“That’s true. We cannot let outsiders take over the Zimmers.” The secretary said in agreement. As the chairman’s secretary, he wouldn’t have a good end if the Zimmers fell to outsid
“Of course, he’s my husband.” Mandy replied matter-of-factly. “But you’ve never brought him along before?” Angel asked curiously. “Don’t mind it so much. Are you willing to bring your boyfriend?” Tsk! Angel said contemptuously, “Mandy, I don’t mean to argue with you. If you bring Harvey, this worthless piece of trash, you’ll just humiliate yourself. Maybe someone at the gathering will take delight in that.” “Who?” Mandy appeared adorkable. “Nia Howell! Have you forgotten about her? Back in university, every man she liked had a secret crush on you. She would fail every time she confessed to a man. She wanted to strangle you to death so badly.” “I heard she had a good life in South Korea during these years. She’s now as beautiful as an angel after her plastic surgery. The reason she’s returning to our country is for this gathering.” Angel advised Mandy patiently. “She’s probably coming for you! Mandy, you’d better be careful!” “Besides, Nia was really lucky. I heard she us
“It’s a gift from your cousin.” Harvey said casually. “Kevin? How is that possible? This car costs at least more than three hundred thousand dollars. Why would he give this to you?” Angel was filled with disdain. ‘Harvey likes to act arrogant and put up a show. I don’t know where he rented this car. How can he be so shameless and say that it’s a gift from someone else?’ ‘It’s normal to rent a luxury car to show off for gatherings. But he’s not even aware that he needs to put up a better act if he really does want to show off. How could he wear such shabby clothes? If he tells people this car is his, no one will believe him.’ Harvey didn’t want to explain himself and simply drove. He was only telling the truth, but no one believed his words. The Porsche drove swiftly toward Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.Hot Spring Villa was famous in Niumhi. The springs there were renowned for their ability in lessening fatigue and improving the appearance. The number of people who booked
“Wow! A Porsche!”One of the classmates exclaimed in astonishment. A Porsche was not as high-end as a Ferrari, but it enjoyed immense popularity among the masses. To the rest, both the Porsche and the Ferrari stood on the same level. Nia felt a twinge of annoyance. She said, “It’s just a pathetic second hand car. At most, it’s just one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Compared to my Ferrari, it’s not much. A Ferrari costs around eight hundred thousand dollars!” “What? How could there be such a vast difference in price?” “Nia, it turns out that your husband is very rich!” Her classmates’ jealousy towards Nia swelled further. There was indeed an incredible difference between the two cars. While a Porsche could be considered a nice car, it was nothing compared to a Ferrari. Now that everyone’s attention was back on her once more, Nia deliberately put on a disdainful air. “Honestly, my husband isn’t as great and exceptional as you think. Back when he tried to gain my affection,
“Sweetheart, they’re your classmates. Really, you’re all like a family. Why should you argue so much with them? You’ll look stingy.” Jamie, who was standing quietly at the back, stepped forward to hug Nia. At the same time, he sized Mandy up and was filled with astonishment. Nia was not less than Mandy in terms of beauty and figure. The most important thing was that Nia was very promiscuous, but her temperament wasn’t very good. Mandy was exceptional in terms of beauty and disposition. Unfortunately, she was married to a worthless piece of trash and got herself a live-in husband. For an outstanding woman like her, it was such a waste!Harvey parked the car nicely and then walked towards them. Mandy smiled and held his hand, and introduced him to the rest. “This is my husband. I’m sure everyone knows his name, so I won’t dwell on that.”The marriage between Harvey and Mandy was a well known fact for everybody in Niumhi. Mandy’s classmates knew he was the legendary live-in son-
Mandy was stunned. Previously, she didn’t even have the intention to look at Jamie. Now, she couldn’t help sneak a few glances at him.For her, she had always wished her future husband would be exceptional in terms of appearance and abilities. Cecilia shot a glimpse at Harvey, and sighed.Before, I told Mandy not to bring Harvey along. Now, how wonderful is this? She’s humiliated.’ Nia smiled and stood up. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. My husband has learned how to play piano since young. His skills are pretty good, too. After he saw the piano, he couldn’t help but want to play it. He didn’t have any intentions to show off. I hope none of you pay any mind.” Nia said that they had no intention to show off, and she even asked the others not to mind it. Yet all that was exactly what she was doing right now, showing off. She was obviously enjoying the envy and admiration of her classmates.“Nia, you’re so lucky! You have such a great husband! It’s like he’s from heaven!” “T
“Nia, you’re shameless! If you want to put up a show, go ahead. No one will stop you. But why did you have to talk about Mandy? Is it amusing for you?” Angel was furious. “This is a gathering, not a place for you to show off your acting skills!” “Hey! Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’re charmed by my Jamie? You can’t accept that I have such an excellent husband, so you’re jealous of me, aren’t you? Is that why you couldn’t hold yourself back and tried to find fault with me?” Nia said, grinning. She even leaned on Jamie on purpose. “You…” Angel was so angry that she trembled. She couldn’t even breathe properly.Seeing that her best friend was being bullied, Mandy couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She strode forward and said slowly, “Nia, we’re classmates. Besides, today is a gathering. Why do you have to say such things?” Nia turned to Mandy with a faint smile “Mandy, are you upset with me? Is that why you asked your dog to come and bite me? If that’s the case, why do
Aya Fujiwara was from the branch family of the Island Nation's royal family. She couldn't be compared to anyone, whether it was in terms of her potential or the resources she had access to.While her name wasn't well-known when she came to celebrate Shingen's wedding, her martial arts inheritance came directly from the Island Nation's royal family, and she was quite powerful. When even someone like her felt that Harvey was extremely powerful, there was a problem.As for Shouta, who had failed earlier, he could feel his face start to pulse in pain again. He felt lucky that Harvey didn't throw the coffin at him. Otherwise, he would end up worse than Nobita.All the other elites from the other Island Nation schools of martial arts could only watch in disbelief.They knew Harvey was very powerful and could fight with a sword saint for hundreds of rounds. However, they thought Harvey had only won after using a sneak attack. Nobita was one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto
"You…little…bastard…" Leighton finally felt terrified. Someone like him knew little shame—so what if he was called a few names? He could still continue to act like a public figure and judge on the internet, and earn money from all the tragedies.However, if Harvey recorded everything he said just now and put it on the internet, he would become a publicly hated traitor. And then, he would lose all value. Even the Islanders wouldn't want to use him anymore.The moment that thought entered his mind, Leighton pointed at Harvey and roared, "Take… Take him down, Mr. Shingen! You can't let him leave here alive!""Shingen," Harvey said, not wanting to give Leighton any more attention. "I didn't expect a dog you keep can order you around. As the scion of the Shinto Way, you aren't respected at all. Since you've lost your honor, are you going to do what your tradition demands of you and kill yourself?"Shingen narrowed his eyes when he heard those words. Rather than losing himself to anger
"Ha… You want to accuse Mr. Shingen of using this as evidence? A video you got from gods know where?" Leighton scoffed.As expected of someone of his age and experience. Leighton narrowed his eyes, already thinking of a way to deal with this mess. "Someone like Mr. Shingen wouldn't have logically done something like this. It simply proves that you have plotted to crash this wedding for a long time! "While I don't want to acknowledge that the people from my country like to scheme this way, after seeing what you've offered today, I have no choice but to apologize to the world on behalf of all our countrymen. Our country is truly a country of fakes! I'm ashamed that all of you gotta see this. I am so sorry!"After saying those words unapologetically, Leighton glared at Harvey and continued coldly, "Harvey, stop humiliating yourself! Just acknowledge your shameful actions and that you want to crash this wedding. "Is it really that difficult? I know you're jealous of someone as succ
Everyone present at the wedding was stunned when they heard Yvonne's words. They didn't expect the marriage to have such a heinous secret.Crack!When Shingen heard those words from Yvonne, his face instantly darkened. The teacup in his hand broke into pieces.He didn't expect someone to save Sheldon.Didn't the Xaviers promise him that they were going to use Sheldon to force Yvonne to comply? Once Yvonne had married him, wouldn't they kill Sheldon? To make sure that things were done as promised, he even sent dozens of Shinto Way's elites to keep an eye on Sheldon.If Sheldon was saved and his henchmen didn't have any reaction at all…When that thought crossed Shingen's mind, he quickly took out his phone and dialed a few numbers. But then, he quickly crushed his phone. There was no exception. None of the calls went through—which meant something had happened to all the elites he had sent.He had lost even more!What was more, since Yvonne had openly revealed this, it didn't m
"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
