“I did give the order to Julian York.“But I only did it for the safety of the higher-ups, and that’s why I want the killer questioned.“That killer tried to assassinate Selena Judd!“As the young lord of the family, they can charge me for acting on my own accord at such a crucial time. Other than that, they can’t accuse me of anything!“I didn’t ask Julian to go against Selena, nor did I get the Sentries of York to do whatever they please!”Vince York sipped his water with a calm look on his face.“Besides, according to the intel I received, the killer was already dead!“Selena and Harvey came up with the rumors to dig a hole for me.“They didn’t expect that they’d get Julian instead…”Lexie froze. This was exactly what she was worried about, but what was there to worry about if there was nothing to be accused of?Vince chuckled before playing a video that his subordinate sent.In the video, the killer was being buried.Lexie finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing t
After hearing Vince York’s confident words, Lexie York smiled from ear to ear.She stretched her body and chuckled.“So, we don’t have to do anything right now, is what you’re saying? We’re just going to sit back as Third and Fourth Brother fight to the death?”“No. There’s something that needs our attention,” Vince replied while showing a warm smile.“No matter what, I was the one who ordered Julian York to detain the killer.“I’d have to take responsibility for what happened to him.“If I do nothing, the third house will surely have opinions about me.“That said, I don’t think there’s a need to save him either…“Sometimes, it’s better just to put on a good show. Let them know that I did my best.“After all, putting on a good show is the easiest thing to do in the entire world, don’t you think?“I do want to see how strong this Lord York is when he goes up against the completely fractured Yorks of Hong Kong…“If he lets Julian go after we plead for him, what’s the point of
At the Yorks’ garden villa.Because of the series of incidents that happened last night, Selena Judd was worried about Harvey York’s safety. She forced him to stay inside the garden villa for the time being.Harvey rejected the offer but to no avail.After all, compared to the cold and desolate place like the Three Seasons Hotel, the garden villa at least felt a bit human.Besides, Harvey had a feeling that what had just happened was just an opening show.He had no intention to leave. He wanted to see everything to its end.After waking up, he checked his phone for emails.George Zabel sent over some new information all the way from Mordu.According to his intel, Mandy Zimmer rose to power within Mordu, but her position was quite unstable.To ensure the stability of her people and be respected by the higher-ups of the Jean family, she had been doing her best.Harvey was relieved to hear about Mandy’s growth and was also quite worried about how hard she had been working.But
“So will we!”At this moment, a group of people walked out. They were not from the Yorks of Hong Kong, but they were prominent characters of the younger generation within Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Matthew Flynn, Ellis Parson, Carol Parker, and the others showed up.Safe to say that the elites of the younger generation were all gathered here at this moment. This was truly a magnificent sight.Harvey York was watching the show full of interest.He trampled on many of Vince York’s people and dragged many more who remained neutral to his side.But he did not expect that Vince would have such a great influence.As expected from the young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong!On closer look, Harvey saw that all the family houses were here, excluding the fourth house.While the people were screaming out loud, people were starting to open cracks from their balconies to see what was happening.Margot Patel, Abel York, and the others showed up while slightly frowning.Though, Marcel York and
Margot Patel clearly understood that fact.She knew full well that Marcel York would have no way to deal with the situation if he showed up himself.“You’re forcing his hand!” exclaimed Margot coldly.Vince York shook his head.“That’s not true, Secretary Patel!“Why would I even do that?“I always treat Lord York with respect and loyalty! We don’t mean any harm!“I’m only sad I let him down because of my improper teaching to my juniors! All this happened because of me!“I only hope that they don’t get punished because of this! This is my fault!“We got the Law Enforcement of the Yorks to handle Julian York’s incident. They’ll give you a fair statement soon enough,” said Margot indifferently.“As for your punishment and involvement in the situation, I have no say, nor does Lord York. Only the Law Enforcement does!“But why are you here trying to force his hand by asking for punishment?!“What’s your purpose here?!”Margot was not stupid either. She glared at Vince as if sh
Vince York’s expression worsened in an instant. He did not believe that Harvey York was just going to repay him with some simple gift.Right when he was about to question Harvey, Harvey snapped his fingers before a few Longmen disciples came out of the shadows with a cardboard box.“Here are pictures of Young Lord York with his fiance!”“He hasn’t revealed who his partner is, has he?”“Aren’t all of you interested?”The disciples leaned toward the reporters and handed the photos to them with warm smiles.The reporters were quite reluctant when they took the photos…But their eyes lit up brightly when they saw the people in the photos.The Victoria Harbor could be seen in the background. The man was none other than the dashing and personable Vince.Though many people could not recognize who the woman was…But the smile on her face seemed quite tender, as if it came straight from the heart.There were already quite a lot of questions in people’s minds when they saw the wedding
“You b*stard!” Vince York roared furiously.Harvey York’s seemingly simple actions were enough to foil his entire plan.He pounced forward, trying to snatch the photos away from Harvey.Slap!Harvey swung his back palm across Vince’s face, immediately sending him flying off.“I’m sorry, Young Lord York. I’m so used to slapping people in the face. It was unintentional,” said Harvey with an apologetic look.The crowd went dead silent after hearing those words.‘He slapped Vince in the face unintentionally?’‘What’s the point of even coming up with an excuse!’‘Does he think Vince is stupid?’Vince stumbled off the ground with a wretched look on his face.He then rushed forward and screamed, “Go! Kill him!”Vince had utterly abandoned his plans at this very moment.The bright red palm print had utterly enraged him. He would not settle until he saw Harvey’s lifeless body lying right in front of him.Harvey backed off as if he was at a loss.“I really didn’t mean it, Young Lo
The spectacle was stopped short…The incident happened so suddenly. Even Marcel York had no way of dealing with it at this moment.Obviously, since Vince York was sent away, this was just the beginning.Margot Patel sent a large group of the Lord’s Guardians around the place, ensuring that similar incidents would not recur.Harvey York shrugged before casually returning to his room.The sea and the sky merged together, forming a beautiful scenery…Right when Harvey was about to ask for some food, a few knocks could be heard coming from his door.Margot was seen wearing a gown outside the room.“Sir York, Lord York is inviting you for a meal. Would you like to join him?”The woman in front had such a beautiful figure and look…Her cold and distant aura could be felt through her strong attitude…Harvey could not help but be impressed by Selena Judd’s generosity. He did not expect she would let such an alluring woman like Margot work as Marcel’s personal secretary.Was Selena
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
All the reporters and attendants were captivated by Yvonne's story. They didn't expect a commercial clash would be even more exciting than what they watched in dramas. At the same time, Yvonne highlighted the helplessness she felt when she was forced to marry Shingen. Everyone pitied her for what she had to do.As for how they dealt with Shingen, Yvonne simply brushed it over, saying that the Xaviers managed to get what they were after. She sighed and said, "These are all supposed to be secret, something not supposed to be revealed. The reason I revealed everything today is that I wanted to prove that the Xaviers didn't have much to do with the Island Nations."You can investigate this and see whether it's real or not, and I can bear full responsibility for what is said today. Also, to prove everything that I said and destroy baseless accusations, I now invite our patriarch Mr. Nashon Xavier to speak with everyone right here and now."With a wave of her hand, a door was opened fro
"First of all, the Xaviers had never thought of working with the Islanders. Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. "Secondly, I will never marry an Islander. I'm born here, and my allegiance is to our country. "Thirdly, there are some photos on the internet about contracts and weddings. I acknowledge that they do exist, but I can swear to all of you that it is simply the result of a commercial clash. And in the end, the Xaviers have won. Please don't worry about the process. Just take note of the result." Yvonne spoke calmly and honestly.She also didn't hide the wedding that she shouldn't be speaking about. She acknowledged it, not trying to hide or evade the question. There was only silence; everyone felt Yvonne's sincerity.Normally speaking, when someone started a press conference like this, it was so that they could wash some of the rumors away. However, Yvonne didn't do that. She simply stated the truth. And it was truth like this that was the most trus
Since Harvey already had his decision, Yvonne wasn't going to say anything else. She made a few calls and they began the acquisition. This time, they were going to use Harvey's capital and name, so on the surface, this had nothing to do with Sky Corporation.In other words, even if Country A noticed someone was acquiring all the shares in the stock market, they wouldn't be able to tell it was Sky Corporation for the time being. Once they realized who was the one acquiring the shares, it would be too late.After that was done, Harvey gave Journi a sly smile. "Is there anything else we should do? "Dealing with the rumors and making a declaration are already impressive moves. There's only one last move to make," Journi chuckled. "Tomorrow, when everything will be settled, the Xaviers will need to organize a major news conference. There, the patriarch Nashon Xavier would need to reveal himself. That way, we'll be able to dispel the rumors without needing to exert any more effort. A l
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
