“Cough, cough!”The man who was in his fifties, wearing gold-framed glasses and a tunic suit while invoking the aura of an elite, Cory, coughed lightly.He sat up straight and flipped through the documents in front of him, then narrowed his eyes at Queenie.“Queenie, is everything Manager Castro said true?”“Do you mind explaining yourself?”He didn’t question Harvey directly. In his eyes, Harvey was just a shameless kept man. Thus, there was no need to question Harvey.“Everything he said is true.”Queenie was apathetic and emotionless, wearing a poker face.“But he didn’t say why Harvey did it.”“Young Master Ishikawa and the Islanders were hitting our staff members as they pleased.”“Harvey wanted to stand up for them. That’s why he took action against Young Master Ishikawa and the others.”“I think it’s right for Harvey to do what he had done.”“If you think he should take responsibility for this, then I’ll take all the blame for him instead.”“After all, I told everyo
“Besides, even if you were in a bad mood, you shouldn’t have gone against them so much and slapped Secretary Akina in the face!”“I heard she’s actually Young Master Ishikawa’s mistress!”“Do you think we can gain anything by hitting his woman?!”“Making the deal with the Ishikawa family is our company’s top priority this year.”“If we complete the deal, our shares will rise at least twice as much!”“But because of you, this important deal was botched!”Cory put on a disappointed look.“All this happened on the very first day you took the position! I’m truly disappointed!”“I’ll ask Fourth Brother for a statement about this!”“Even if he’s picking favorites, this still isn’t the right way to choose the company staff!”“How about this? Write a resignation letter yourself. I’ll let you off the hook.”“I’ll tell Fourth Brother to stop shoving useless people my way.”“Loxus Consortium is the family’s money tree!”“This isn’t a place to pick favorites and join forces!”Queenie
“Stop trying to talk big now, Harvey York!“You say you’ll earn money with your dignity intact…“But not only did you slap Secretary Akina in the face twice, you even chased Young Master Ishikawa out of the damn building!“Now, tell me how you’re supposed to earn money!“The time’s almost up…“Don’t tell me that Young Master Ishikawa’s going to beg for you to sign the contract later!“Harvey, right?”Cory York flipped the pages of his documents and got to Harvey’s page. When he saw Harvey’s descriptions, his pupils slightly shrunk while showing a cold look on his face.“I admit that you’re quite the man yourself and that you’ve been doing many great things in Hong Kong and Las Vegas recently. You’ve become pretty popular.“But business just isn’t done this way!“No matter how strong and famous you are, you’d have no chance to earn money if no one pays you their respect!“Because of your actions, you ruined our chances of earning hundreds and millions of dollars worth of prof
Harvey York calmly smiled as he shrugged.“It’s just a simple deal with the Ishikawa Corporation anyway. At the end of the day, it’s only a few hundred million dollars per annum. Is there even a need to cause such a huge uproar for this money?”Dante Castro cackled.“Just a simple deal, you say?“Only a few hundred million dollars per annum?“How shameless can you get, Harvey?!”Even Dante was chuckling in anger at this very moment.A few female higher-ups were covering their mouths to hide their snickers. In their eyes, Harvey was just some ignorant fool.“Are you serious, Harvey?”“If things are really that simple for you, then bring the contract here already!”“You’ll probably get many more letters from lawyers than contracts!”“Young Master Ishikawa won’t let you go that easily for hitting one of his subordinates!”The higher-ups glared disdainfully at Harvey. In their eyes, Harvey was just another clown.Harvey took a peek at his Rolex on his wrist and then calmly sai
Everyone had the same thought at that moment. Taichi Ishikawa was here to force the Loxus Consortium so he could benefit from the situation.If not, why would he come all the way here after being thoroughly disrespected?Cory York managed to regain his composure before thinking of a way to deal with Taichi.“Miss Ishikawa, Young Master Ishikawa, this way please!”When Cory and the others stood up, planning to welcome the arrival of Taichi and the others, the front desk lady had already brought a dozen people to the meeting room.The person in front was an Islander-looking woman wearing an elegant suit.Her face showed a professional smile as she swiftly followed the front desk lady.The person behind her was none other than Taichi, who was showing utter despair.Secretary Akina, who still had a few palm prints on her face, was here with the assistants, the legal department, bodyguards, and other people…Harvey York curiously glanced at the woman and immediately recognized her
Cory York was showing an enthusiastic look.“If it’s something you need help with, we’ll definitely lend you a hand if it is within our power.“After all, there’s nothing I can’t handle in Hong Kong or Las Vegas!“Even if the people from Loxus Consortium managed to offend the honorable Ishikawa family, I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement if you say the word.”Naturally, Cory still thought that Yukiko Ishikawa dragged this many people with her so she could ask him for a fair statement.If not, with Yukiko’s status, why would she even come here all the way from Mordu?She even came in such a hurry. She was clearly looking for trouble.As for the polite attitude, Cory also felt it was normal.After all, peaceful measures should be used before war.The people from the Island Nations had been known as the country of etiquette. Even if they bump into the person who slaughtered their entire family, they would still bow properly before swinging their blade.It seemed normal for
Cory York slightly froze before forcing out a smile.“Miss Ishikawa, you must’ve been mistaken.“The young lord of the family is Vince York. It’s not Harvey York.”The meaning of those words was simple. Harvey was not even from the Yorks of Hong Kong, and there was no need to be this polite toward him.Cory then walked toward Taichi Ishikawa while showing a warm smile.“I heard about what transpired yesterday, Young Master Ishikawa.“This is no big deal. It’s all in the past now. Please stand up.”He then tried to lift Taichi off the ground.Taichi completely ignored him and kept slapping himself as he kneeled.“I’m moved by your generosity, Chairman York, but we have to admit to our faults! This is the rule of the Ishikawa family!“We came here today to ask for Sir York’s forgiveness.”Yukiko ignored Cory and kept bowing in front of Harvey.It was apparent that Cory had no say in the situation, and only Harvey did, but she did not say it out loud.Cory’s expression slight
Cory York and the board of directors squinted their eyes.Everyone knew that Harvey York was making an example out of the Islanders.Queenie York’s consultant was trampling them all over like a bunch of dead dogs.Who else would dare to go against Queenie in the future?Simply put, Queenie’s position as the executive CEO would be solidified after this incident.“Thank Sir York properly and change your ways.”Yukiko Ishikawa glanced at Taichi Ishikawa while she was constantly bowing.“If it weren’t for Sir York, you would’ve been thrown to the fishes this afternoon.“Be grateful!”Everyone gasped after hearing Yukiko’s calm words.‘The Islanders sure are ruthless! Not only are they merciless toward their enemies, but they also have no pity toward their own!’Harvey glanced at Yukiko while filled with interest before raising his caution.He knew if he did not manage to suppress Yukiko, he would have been the one to kneel and break his hand, and not Taichi.Due to Yukiko's ar
