There was a blurry photograph on the phone. But it was indeed the photograph of Harvey York and Ella Graves when they were together that night, and it was snapped by someone else secretly. Harvey was helpless. He then thought about Zack Zimmer’s attitude that day, and he soon figured it out. It might be Zack who snapped that photograph and specially sent it to Mandy Zimmer. “What more do you have to say? The truth is here right before us. Do you still want to deny it?” Harvey kept quiet, and he did not have any intention to defend himself. Seeing that, Mandy was filled with despair at that moment. The reason she let Harvey take a look at the phone was to give him a chance to explain himself. But Harvey said nothing in the end. “Darling, it’s nothing like how you imagined it to be…” Harvey sighed and said. “Then what is it? Tell me!” Mandy said coldly. He treated Ella to a meal, and asked her to do him a favor in resolving the issue regarding Dario’s younger sister. But th
“You must not keep this kind of man with you. Daughter, as long as you divorce him, I’ll find a good and obedient son-in-law who is so much better than him!”“Besides, he might have gotten some kind of strange disease. What if you get it from him? It’s so frightening!” Lilian Yates patted her chest ceaselessly, and she appeared quite frightened as she thought about that. If there was indeed such a scandal, Senior Zimmer would certainly disown their entire family and kick them out of the Zimmers. “Try to think about it. Zack Zimmer is now worried about not having the chance to bring you down! If ever he knows of this incident, he’ll certainly have another excuse to find faults with you!“It’s not easy for you to gain such a status in the Zimmers now. You can’t ruin your future just because of a man who’s just a worthless piece of trash!”“Mom, stop talking!” Mandy Zimmer was quite vexed at that moment. At one point, she thought about how Ella Graves looked at Harvey York. At a
In the study, Harvey York slept on the floor. He was filled with helplessness. He could understand Mandy Zimmer’s feelings. If it was him, he might not be so calm either.Besides, his unreliable mother-in-law might have made things worse secretly, exaggerating the facts. That incident would definitely be much more troublesome now. ***The next day during breakfast time, Harvey prepared breakfast early in the morning since he wanted to please Mandy. But Mandy did not even eat the breakfast he prepared. She just tore off the divorce agreement in front of him. Harvey frowned and said nothing since he knew that it would not be over so easily. As expected, Mandy said coldly, “I can forget about the divorce for the time being. But you need to promise me one thing.” “What is it? I’ll promise you.” Harvey said swiftly. “You didn’t even ask me what it is. But you promised me so soon. Aren’t you afraid that I may ask you to go and do some illegal things?” Mandy was slightly touch
Just when Lilian Yates plotted against Harvey York to let him borrow another eight hundred thousand dollars for her to spend, a great incident happened in Niumhi airport. There were not many flights in Niumhi Airport, and most of them were from the province. At that moment, a charming man in a slim suit with his hair combed in a slick manner, was standing at the arrival gate. He put his hands behind his back. Besides, he did not play with his phone. He just held a bouquet of roses with his hands behind his back. He looked cold. A lot of young girls who passed by him could not help but brighten their eyes when they saw him. Nowadays, it was too rare to see a man not playing with his phone while waiting for someone at the arrival gate. That posture alone could bewitch a lot of young ladies. After a short while, there were some people walking out of the arrival gate at last. There were eight bodyguards in black suits who walked at the front of the group, clearing the way. A
At the Zimmer Villa. Harvey York went to the bank specially just to retrieve eight hundred thousand dollars in cash. When he threw the plastic bag with the cash on the coffee table, Lilian Yates’ eyes became bloodshot. At that moment, she did not even bother about the fact that Harvey was right there beside her. She soon started to flip through the blue stacks of banknotes. After she ensured that the banknotes were real, she could not even suppress her smile. “What about your personal declaration? Didn’t you claim that you will endure the debt all by yourself?” Lilian looked up and said to him condescendingly. Harvey took out a document which was prepared beforehand. Not only did he sign the document, there was even the signature of a lawyer too. It outlined that the 1.6 million dollars were Harvey’s personal debt, and it had nothing to do with Mandy Zimmer. Lilian looked at the document carefully for a short while. She then made a few calls to inquire about that from a few
After having many changes in her facial expression, Lilian Yates stood up all of a sudden. She then pointed at Harvey York and said, “Worthless trash, don’t think that this incident is over now that you get to borrow eight hundred thousand dollars. Let me tell you. You should at least go and borrow another eight hundred thousand dollars. No, you need to get 1.6 million dollars! Besides, you need to endure the debt all by yourself!” “Sure, no problem. But we may need to wait for a few more years. I just borrowed 1.6 million dollars from my friend. It’s impossible that he’ll lend me money ceaselessly, right?” Harvey said in a carefree manner.“You…” Lilian’s facial expression changed again. The next moment, she said, “You’re the live-in son-in-law in the Zimmers, and you’ve got a job now. You need to give me the pay card, and I’ll manage your monthly salary!” “Mom, if you really need that, I can give you my pay card.” Harvey smiled. Everything went just according to his plan. In t
At first, Zack Zimmer was about to remain calm. But now, he could not hold himself back anymore. He glared at Harvey York and said angrily, “F*ck you! Harvey, how shameless you are? How could you even be the CEO of York Enterprise! Aren’t you afraid that they’ll come looking for you directly if this incident is spread out?” Everyone could not believe that at all. How could Harvey be the CEO of York Enterprise given what a worthless sack of trash he was? Previously, Harvey claimed that he was the CEO shamelessly when Don Xander proposed to Mandy Zimmer. But what about the result? The truth proved that he was nothing but a preposterous joke.Now he mentioned that again. He was entirely shameless. Standing beside them, Mandy could not bear to see that anymore. She took a step forward and said softly, “Grandpa, Harvey might have used his boss’ member card…”“Is that the one who let him drive the Porsche?” Senior Zimmer nodded slightly. He believed that explanation. A luxury car
“Remember this. This is the only time, and it’s not to be repeated!” Senior Zimmer’s eyes seemed dull and ferocious. “Don’t think that you’ll have the right to act arrogantly since Mandy is now managing the company’s finances, and she’s also the project manager. Don’t even think that you can rely on her and disrespect me.”“If I’m willing, I can snatch away all of her post and power. You won’t even have the right to act smug and arrogant anymore. It’s just a matter of words!” “I hope that you can fulfill what you said.” After saying that, Harvey York left. Senior Zimmer’s threat was indeed quite weak, and it was extremely ridiculous. Mandy Zimmer’s identity as the project manager now was closely related to the Zimmers’ future and survival. Previously, Senior Zimmer could even endure that even when Mandy wanted to be the finance manager. Now how would he be so daring as to put the Zimmers’ future and destiny at risk because of such a trivial affair?He would not do so, and h
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
