“For you, you might’ve only rejected Young Master Leo’s generosity.“But for him, he might just see this as a declaration of war.“You’re a brilliant lady. You, of all people, should know that the world’s financial hub isn’t in Coupeville, America. It’s in Walsh, from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.“If you provoke Young Master Lee, who has full authority of Walsh…“You know exactly what sort of disasters you’ll bring to this company and the Yorks of Hong Kong.“Think wisely, Miss York.”Mateo Leo smiled while giving Queenie York a friendly reminder.“Besides, you’re just an executive CEO.“You can reject Young Master Leo out of your own volition, but do you think your decision represents the whole company and your family?“I do hope that you consider. It’s not advisable for you to outright reject the offer.“This way, we’ll both make compromises with each other. Am I right?”Mateo showed a faint smile. He was obviously making threats, but it sounded like he was doing
“Didn’t I tell you already?! I refuse!“Get out of here!”Queenie York was still in a state of rage. After seeing someone push the door open, she instantly lashed out.“This is how you treat someone who got you this position, Executive CEO York?”Harvey lightly chuckled.Queenie came to her senses and took a deep breath to calm herself down.“Sorry. I thought you were…”“There’s no need for that,” said Harvey while smiling.“I was just outside.“What? Someone’s already coming for you just after a few days as the executive CEO?”Harvey intentionally left out the conversation to give Queenie some personal space.Queenie had no intention to hide it, though. After heaving a huge sigh, she said, “Since you’re outside, you must’ve heard what happened, right?“Mateo Leo is Jason Leo’s most trusted subordinate. Do you know him?”“I’ve only heard of him, but not really,” replied Harvey calmly.Queenie frowned for a moment.“Jason was the most legendary person within Hong Kong and
Harvey York frowned.“The lord of the family too?”Queenie York shook her head.“My father would never agree to this.“After all, married daughters are lost forever. Once the marriage between Jason and I goes through, I’ll have to give up my authority within the family once and for all…“But since the cost of canceling the marriage is too high, Grandma York would surely refuse.“My father would always respect his elders…”Queenie was worried. She knew that this would be hard to deal with.“This time, the marriage will most likely go through.“Wealthy families have no feelings toward each other. Besides, I’m just an adopted daughter.”Harvey frowned.“Judging from the current situation, you might not be their target. Instead, they might be going for Lord York,” said Harvey calmly.“Lord York is using you to keep Vince York down.“Vince is then taking drastic measures to get Jason Leo back.“What a great plan!”Queenie froze slightly after hearing Harvey’s words before gri
Aurora Parker, Durin’s well-known celebrity, was revealed to have a green card of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!At the same time, she also uploaded quite a popular video.The contents of the video were simple. Aurora was shamelessly praising The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Harvey York clicked on the video and saw Aurora in traditional clothing while showing her beautiful face on screen.The celebrity, who became famous because of Durin, fluently spoke in The Empire’s language while showing a warm smile.“Recently, fans have been asking me why I decided to get a green card from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.“This is what I tell everyone.“To smell a breath of freedom.“Five days ago, when I stepped out of the plane…“I prepared five masks and was about to wear one.”“But when I took a breath of air there…“I left my mask!“The air here is filled with freedom! It was just refreshing!“This strange luxury is what brought me to get the green card!”A
A few bodyguards in black suits stopped Harvey York and Queenie York in their path with serious expressions.A few couples and tourists were stopped as well.In front of the bodyguards, a woman in a white uniform coldly glanced at Harvey and the other.“Miss Parker is dining right now. None of you may enter.“Because of you people, her mood might get affected.“When she’s all done, you people may enter only then.”Those bossy words were filled with utter righteousness, as if she was used to doing those things.Harvey sized up the group of people and calmly asked, “Are you the boss or the manager here?”“Neither,” replied the woman coldly after hearing Harvey’s question.“So, did Miss Parker book out the entire restaurant?” Harvey questioned curiously.“Are you braindead or something?“Don’t you know that we’d need at least hundreds and thousands of dollars to do that?!“Do you think we’re idiots?!”The woman in white stared at Harvey, as if he was a clown.“We’re not payi
Queenie York showed no emotion at that time.“I’m giving you one whole minute. If you don’t get out of my restaurant right now, I’ll get security to throw you out of here!” exclaimed Queenie coldly.“Aaaaaah!”The woman in white was sent flying before she fell to the ground while she covered her face with a horrible expression.A bright red palm print was clearly showing on her beautiful face, completely ruining it. It was quite a miserable sight.She froze while covering her face, then stood up in a fit of rage.“You b*tch! Do you know who I am?!“Do you have a death wish or something?!”Slap!Queenie swung the back of her palm across the woman’s face once again.The woman fell to the ground and struggled for quite a while before getting back up again.This time, there were two palm prints on the woman’s face. Her face was as swollen as a pig when she showed a wretched expression.Queenie looked at the sight and calmly reasoned, “If I’m being blocked off by some outsider i
Even though the woman in white knew she could not go against Queenie York, she could not bear to take the humiliation.At that moment, she gritted her teeth while showing a resentful look.“Even if you’re the lady of the family, you can’t just hit people as you please!“There are laws here in Hong Kong!“I’ll call the cops right now!”“Laws, you say?”Queenie walked forward with a cold expression before swinging her palm forward.Slap!“When I reason with you, you come at me with power.”Slap!“But when I fight back, you try to reason with me?!”Slap!“How are you this shameless?! Are you planning to take advantage of the entire world until you’re satisfied?!”After slapping the woman around a few times, Queenie glanced at the restaurant manager, who was trotting toward her.“The customer didn’t book the entire restaurant, nor were there any orders from the higher-ups, but you still let her hog the entire place and chase the customers away like that?” exclaimed Queenie co
Harvey York looked at the fierce woman full of interest and recognized her as the woman he saw on Durin in the morning.She was the woman who got the green card for The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets and complained on Durin about the lack of fresh air and freedom in Country H, Aurora Parker herself.Harvey squinted after seeing her show up. He felt a little pity, thinking that the world was so small.Harvey was fully prepared to make Yvonne Xavier blacklist this woman. She then showed up before him while making such a big ruckus.“Miss York, right? This is a little inappropriate, isn’t it?”Aurora seemed quite stern. She did not give in even after hearing about Queenie York’s identity.She squinted with her long and narrow eyes at Queenie and coldly exclaimed, “No matter what, I’m still a customer here.“Yet, you dare hit my manager and throw us out of here?“Is this what you people are capable of?“This is your so-called advocacy on courtesy?“Do you know who you’re talki
