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
Across from Dario Moore, there was a working desk. The president of the health centre looked at Dario from behind the working desk. Although he was scared inwardly, he could only do that no matter how frightened he was at that moment, when he thought about the benefits which he had gained. After all, if he offended Dario, he could still survive. But if he was being double-dealing after he promised to work for Tyson Woods, he might possibly suffer terribly at the end. “You know more than us about your younger sister’s condition. According to the state of things in the health centre now, we indeed have no way to help to perform a surgery on her. What about curing her?”“Besides, you occupy the only one single ward here for a long period of time, and you always fail to pay the hospitalization fees. To be frank, we’re quite helpless too. Now, a lot of the patients and their families have opinions about that. You’d better leave. As for the remaining hospitalization fees, just forget ab
“Dario Moore, if you work for me, I’ll find someone to cure your younger sister’s legs.” Harvey York did not say much nonsense. He stood up directly and stopped Tyson Woods. Dario looked at Harvey in disdain. He then said, “Do you think that I’ll believe you since you said so?” Harvey took out a name card which he had prepared earlier and threw it at Dario. He then said lightly, “This is Dr. Ella Graves’ name card. Give her a call. She’ll arrange for the surgery and the best ward for your sister. Don’t worry about the medical expenses. It’s all on me.” “How did you arrange this? Are you lying to me?” Dario was filled with disbelief. The doctor was the vice president of Niumhi Hospital, and she was a truly distinguished person. A person like that would never perform a surgery on a person if the surgery did not cost more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars. ‘How is this guy before me able to resolve such a big issue? Is he that capable?’ The most important thing was that Dar
Thinking of that, Zack Zimmer’s facial expression became extremely unpleasant. “No, I can’t let Mandy Zimmer have her way. What if she truly divorces him successfully? Then she’ll have the chance to compete for the post with me. No way! I must think of a resolution!” Zack frowned slightly.“That’s easy. You just tell Grandpa that it’s a critical time for us now given our cooperation with York Enterprise. We can’t afford to have any kinds of issues here in the Zimmers. Then you can ask Grandpa to prohibit them from having a divorce. That will do, isn’t it?” Quinn Zimmer said smugly. She felt that her idea was tremendously good. “That’s reasonable!” Zack breathed a sigh of relief. However, the way he looked at Quinn was slightly vigilant now. ‘It seems like this woman is not to be trifled with. I need to keep my guard up around her in the future.’ ***Harvey York did not see Mandy when he reached home. However, he saw Lilian Yates sitting in the living room with a solemn facial e
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
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
