Seeing how everyone’s reaction changed, Zack Zimmer felt pleased with himself.He still had not recovered from his anger associated with the failure in courting Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorell a few days ago.How lucky must he have been to meet Ella Graves – a goddess with the curviest body and prepossessing face like that, of course he would not let go of this opportunity!Ella finally lifted her head up and stared at Zack asking, “Anything?”Zack pointed to the VIP lift not far away from them and said, “Miss Pretty, I’m having dinner in the Western restaurant at the top floor, plus I’ve booked the best seat, may I invite you for dinner?”Without even waiting for Ella’s reply, the plastic face had already hurriedly rushed to Zack’s side. “Mr Zimmer, I don’t mind turning a blind eye to you going around and hooking up with random girls, but you specifically invited me out for dinner tonight and now you’re ditching me? What kind of girl do you think I am?”Zack turned around and gla
Zack Zimmer snorted. “Harvey York, how good are you at boasting, before this you boasted how you’re actually the CEO of the York’s Enterprise, and now you’re saying us Zimmers are not even qualified to reserve the spot you’re taking? Who do you think you are? If you’re that incredible how are you still just a live-in son-in-law in the Zimmers family?”“Whether I’m incredible or not how does that matter with you? How does it matter with you wherever I choose to have dinner? Mind your own business.”Zack replied coldly, “I’m the vice CEO of the Zimmers family business, can I not interfere when someone is trying to use our money to pick up girls?”Seeing how Harvey was verbally attacked so many times, she suggested, “Harvey, why don’t we eat somewhere else?”“There’s no need for that, we’re eating here.” Harvey decided to not entertain Zack’s nonsense any longer and led Ella Graves to the lift.“Okay, I’m going to see what kind of ‘good’ spot you’re taking then!” Zack retorted immedi
Seeing how Harvey York and Ella Graves talked and laughed in the VIP area, Zack Zimmer’s face turned cold as ice.How dare this live-in son-in-law pick up girls right before his eyes and spend so much money out of Zimmers’ pocket, he was going to kick Harvey out of the door today definitely.***Mandy Zimmer, who was resting in the room after dinner, heard her phone rang.“Zack, it’s already late, what do you want?” Mandy answered the call coldly.Zack rarely called her as they weren’t in their best terms.“Mandy, you’re not with that trashy live-in husband of yours at home right?” Zack snickered.“What do you mean by this? What does that have to do with you?” Mandy sounded as cold and distant as ever even through calls.“Originally it has nothing to do with me, but the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers is bringing some girl to the Niumhi Grand Hotel using our family’s hard-earned money, and even reserved the best seat in the western restaurant there, I think I have the right t
Shirley Ryan became panic-stricken and uttered, “Senior, you’ve misunderstood me, I wasn’t close with you that’s why I didn’t spoke nicely, but after getting to know you more and more these days I know that you’re actually a great man and I’m trying to accept you for who you are.”“See, I even accompanied you for dinner, we have better days waiting ahead of us, let me go this time would you? We can have supper together.”Shirley tried to look as pitiful as she could be, she’s not the girl who just graduated from college anymore, after years of immersing herself into the realities of the working industry she knew very well that if she didn’t act obedient, he might get impulsive and do something way worse than just touching her.Jerry Zabel moved closer and sniggered. “Trying to accept me? You’re such a sweet talker, Shirley! If it isn’t for me achieving what I have now will you even look at me in the eyes? You women only love money!”Shirley trembled lightly. “Senior, this is really
Shirley Ryan’s face turned red instantly. She’s not a kid anymore, how could she not know what would happen if Harvey York hadn’t come to her rescue. Not knowing what to reply, she could only bite her lip.“Harvey, I’m warning you, if you dare to touch me even once more I’ll have you locked up in jail for sure!” Jerry Zabel finally managed to get himself up unstably as he howled at Harvey.Some live-in son-in-law, who’s looked down upon by everyone, washed the feet for his mother-in-law, cleaned the toilet of the house, dared to touch him. He’d had tons of ways to make Harvey begging for his life!In the end…Swoosh!The next thing he knew, Harvey had already slapped Jerry right across the face hard as he became dizzy with a red mark burning on his cheek.“You… dare to hit me…” Jerry was in full rage.Shirley was all flabbergasted, rumours had it that after Harvey became the live-in son-in-law, he was bullied all the time by the Zimmers but however she looked at him right now, h
After approximately ten minutes, a black Mercedes Benz S-class stopped there. After that, a man in a white suit got out of the car slowly. There were two bodyguards behind them. They seemed ferocious. At first glance, they seemed quite exceptional in fighting. The heir of the Brookes, Kane Brooke, was so daring to offend even York Enterprise just because he thought that Liam Stone was on his side. After Mandy Zimmer’s gathering that time around, the Brookes received a hard lesson from Liam. Now, they had suffered a slightly great loss. There was a saying which claimed that even a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Although the Brookes were quite miserable lately, they were still so much better than the ordinary people even after the repeated losses they suffered in the business field. Recently, a lot of bad things went wrong. Hence, Kane suffered quite a deep wrath. After he got a call from Jerry Zabel, he heard that the woman whom he had his eyes on, Shirley Ryan had been
Harvey York was slightly speechless. ‘What kind of perception is that? Could it be that Jerry Zabel is mentally ill?’ But before he could say anything, Kane Brooke had started to feel slightly impatient. He then took off his coat casually and threw it at a bodyguard beside him. He then said lightly, “Who’s that? I don’t care who you are. Get lost now. Don’t ruin my fun. If not, I’ll kill you later.” As he was saying that, he threw a glance at the bodyguard behind him. That bodyguard understood what he meant well. Hence, the bodyguard took out a stack of blue banknotes and threw them on the ground. For a lowly person like that, Kane had a lot of experience. He just had to threaten them slightly and gave them some money. Then, that person would know perfectly well what he should or should not say. That night, he went there to enjoy himself. He was in no mood to tackle a lowly person like that. Seeing that, Jerry was nervous inwardly. If Harvey took the money and left, he wou
Seeing that Mandy Zimmer had fallen asleep, Harvey York asked no more. He then moved his things to the study and spent his night there. The next day, when he woke up in the early morning, he got ready to prepare breakfast. But he soon heard Mandy, saying coldly, “From today onward, you don’t have to prepare breakfast for our family.” Harvey appeared helpless. He then sighed, “Darling, you’ve been overthinking about the incident last night. I’m just friends with Ella Graves.” Mandy peeked at him, and she had no intention to argue with him. She just appeared particularly cold and aloof. At first, she thought that the relationship between her and Harvey had changed slightly now. It was different from the past. She even imagined that they could act like a normal couple one day. Besides, she thought that she had indeed misunderstood about the incident at the hospital. She even prepared to express her gratitude. But unexpectedly, one single call and a photograph from the previous
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
After meeting Emery, Harvey left Dragon Cell's office without looking back. As for how long Emery would be in his cell, Harvey did not expect much. It was already complicated to force someone like Emery to come in and cooperate when they had little clear evidence.Once back in his estate, Harvey immediately ordered George to use everything he could to find clues about Grand City. Everything that had happened this time had crossed Harvey's line. He had to go to Grand City no matter what. Other than taking over the Three Halls as per their promise, he also needed to settle the score regarding everything else.Once Harvey had organized everything and was going to have a drink in the courtyard, he saw a discreet Bentley appear outside his gate. The door opened, and a beautiful figure emerged from the vehicle. It was Sienna, the princess of the Wright family.Harvey was not that surprised when he saw Sienna's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "You have the time to come
"However, I'm not interested in that. I simply want to see how you will escape from this," replied Harvey to Emery with a chuckle. "Also, I can give you a clue. The one behind this is most likely your best friend, Dan. I wonder what you think after knowing that?"After that, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Emery, trying to gauge whether his emotional state had changed.Emery tilted his head a little and asked in interest. "Why are you so sure that Dan is behind this?"Then, Harvey answered, "Because there's just too many coincidences. The people who did this are all related to you. Meanwhile, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't use something simplistic and easily traceable back to you. If you analyze this from that angle, the person pulling the strings wanted to get me killed and also drag you down into the mud."And if this is how it all ended, then the person who will benefit the most from all this is, of course, the person pulling the strings, am I right? Not to mentio
After listening to what Harvey had said, Jesse was slightly taken aback. After that, he understood what Harvey meant. With things progressing to this stage, it did not matter if they met officially; they had already become enemies. If that were the case, they should have met using this chance. Perhaps, Dragon Cell might be able to find something out.When that thought crossed Jesse's mind, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Then, he said to Harvey, "I can take you to Emery, but I hope you won't expose who you are. We will also turn off the security cameras when you speak with him. Hopefully, that will give you the results you want."Harvey calmly nodded.Five minutes later, Harvey was taken to a cell on basement level nine. There was no light within the cell, and it was extremely cold. In the middle of the cell, there was a metal chair. On top of the chair was a yellow lamp, but looking at its light alone could make one feel dizzy. While that was what others would fe
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
