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
While the others only saw profit, Harvey York saw through Yukiko Ishikawa’s evil plans hidden underneath her generosity.Simply put, if Harvey were to sign the contract, he would turn into a menace within the entire company, maybe even to the Yorks of Hong Kong too!He would need to fight them all to the death if that were the case!Yukiko understood how powerful Harvey was. Since the Yorks of Hong Kong was one of the five hidden families, they would also have immense strength.If both sides were to fight each other to the death, Country H’s entire upper social circle would also be dragged into it.Trading three years’ worth of an exclusive deal with utter chaos between Harvey and the Yorks of Hong Kong…For the Islanders, who only wished for the people of Country H to suffer, this was an extremely lucrative deal.Without a second thought, Harvey reached out and raised Yukiko’s exquisite jaw with a warm smile.“Three whole years of that just isn’t enough, Miss Ishikawa.“I hav
With Queenie York’s signature on the contract, the Ishikawa Corporation incident came to a close.Queenie’s position within the company and the family was set in stone.After seeing Yukiko Ishikawa and the others stumble out of the venue, Harvey York calmly turned toward Dante Castro.Dante frantically changed his expression and tried to back off.“You remember the deal we made yesterday, Manager Castro?” asked Harvey calmly.“You’re supposed to leave the company if I get the contract, right?“So, when are you planning to do that?”The higher-ups looked at each other after hearing Harvey’s words.Nobody thought that Harvey would bring that up at this point.Dante’s face turned pale.“I… I… I…” he muttered.“Since you have a deal with Consultant York, you should leave then.“Since you’ve worked so hard for the Loxus Consortium for so many years, I’ll give you a year’s worth of salary as severance pay! Don’t you dare show up in front of me ever again!“Come! Give him the mon
“You…”Cory York was boiling with anger before abruptly leaving while coldly glaring at Harvey York.Harvey chuckled. Cory had lost his reputation within the company.It would only be a matter of time before Queenie York took over his place.***“That b*stard!”Inside the office building at Victoria Harbor, Cory still could not manage to calm himself down.The teacup in his hand trembled vigorously. Apparently, he was still enraged.His gaze then shifted toward Vince York before he coldly exclaimed, “I told you so many times already, Vince! Don’t go for Fourth Brother’s people willy-nilly, especially Selena Judd!“Fourth Brother treasures that woman the most!“Whatever you do, don’t ever go against her!“But what happened? Not only did you provoke her, you even got Fourth Brother angry! Now he’s releasing her exceptional daughter just to fight you!“What are you planning to do?!“It’s only five days before the damn birthday banquet!“I can’t believe you got into this big
After coldly looking at Cory York, Lexie York then spoke, “You’re saying Vince York and I are responsible for your loss?“Because we didn’t provide you the right info, so you suffered as a result?”“That’s not what I mean,” Cory coldly replied.“I’m only saying that if we had the right info, we might have the upper hand this time.“At this point, it’s useless blaming anyone.“We can only blame that b*stard for being so calculating and that b*tch for conspiring with the enemy!”“This is my fault, Father.”Vince, who had been dead silent the entire time, finally spoke up. He walked toward Cory and bowed slightly.“I underestimated both Harvey and Queenie.“I thought that a woman who only knew how to kill could be ordered around only after being in the Loxus Consortium…“But this isn’t what I expected to happen.“Both Harvey and Queenie are challenging to deal with after all!“I know there’s still rage in your heart, but you and Auntie shouldn’t be arguing right now.“This is
While Vince York was telling everyone his master plan, a call from Las Vegas got Harvey York up from his afternoon nap.Harvey was quite surprised after seeing the number.The King of Gambling, Fabian Hamilton, said that he was going to put the casino license of Mordu’s Casino Palace under Harvey’s name, but it never happened…And since Harvey’s relationship with the Hamilton family improved, everyone was considered to be on the same side. The situation was left up in the air because of it…But after getting Fabian’s call, Harvey had a bad feeling about this…After all, Fabian would never give Harvey a call for no reason.When the phone rang the second time, Harvey then picked up the call.A long sigh could be heard from the other side of the phone, as if Harvey was going to realize something. The sound abruptly stopped before Harvey listened to a hearty laugh.“It’s been some time since you contacted me, Sir York!“Did you have too much fun in Hong Kong? Las Vegas is your tur
Fabian Hamilton’s words were filled with helplessness, dreariness, and a lot of resentment…“My family rose for many years. We were called the kings of Las Vegas, but I didn’t expect I’d get beaten so badly at such an old age…“But don’t worry. Even if we lose that casino license, I’ll get another one to replace it for you.“You deserve it after all.”Fabian tried to maintain his dignity within his words. He seemed like he needed help, but he still held onto the pride of his family with all his might.Harvey York burst out laughing before showing a serious look on his face.“Alright, Fabian. I’m done joking around.“Be honest with me, is the person you’re gambling against a tough one?”“He is, but we should be able to handle him…”Fabian went silent for a long while before saying those words.But after he did not hear Harvey’s response, he bitterly chuckled.“Right. I’ll be honest. He’s really tough.“He came three times already. He only plays three rounds every time to det
