Wyatt Johnson smiled faintly. He then said with a calm facial expression, “Who said that the new CEO of the York Enterprise must have the surname of the York? Mandy Zimmer’s live-in husband has the surname of York too. Do you think that he’s the new CEO?” Cecilia Zachary’s charming face was filled with doubt. ‘What he said is very logical. Could it be real then?’ “How about this? After all, I’m in no rush to take over the post now. Today, you cook a meal for me, and I’ll let you take a look at my appointment document. How’s that?” Wyatt looked Cecilia up and down. He was filled with lust inwardly. During those last few days, he was with that old hag. He was deeply disgusted. There was now a young, beautiful and seductive woman standing before him. He became rather excited. Cecilia was no fool. Certainly, she understood Wyatt’s underlying meaning. However, she wished to be married into a rich family. After hesitating for a short while, she smiled softly and said, “How about th
When they reached the apartment which Cecilia Zachary rented, she changed into casual clothes immediately. It made her beautiful body figure seem more sexy and perfect. Seeing that, Wyatt Johnson smiled. That was such an obvious seduction. How could he not see that since he was an experienced lascivious playboy?‘Hey! It seems like one really needs to be wealthy.’In the past, he was only a young master from the Johnsons. However, the Johnsons were only a third class family, and it could not provide him with too many resources. It was not easy when he had a crush on Mandy Zimmer, but she did not even want to bother about him. However, it was different now. On the first day that he was going to take over the post as the new CEO, he had such a good incident. That was indeed wonderful! While Cecilia was cooking, Wyatt went behind her and hugged her slim waist. He then said, “Cecilia, your cooking skills are bad that it’s hard to bear…” At that moment, Cecilia was slightly ag
After Wyatt Johnson left, Cecilia Zachary sat on the sofa in the living room with her facial expression distorted. She never thought that Wyatt would be like that. She had had the dream of being married into a rich family for many years. It was what she yearned for the most. But did it mean that she had to sacrifice herself just so that she could be married into a rich family? There was only a person from all of her acquaintances who had that kind of similar experience. Cecilia was quite flustered and puzzled. After hesitating for a long while, she picked up her phone and gave her best friend, Mandy Zimmer a call. “Mandy, how is your relationship with Harvey York recently?” Cecilia was hesitant for a short while before she spoke directly. “Why are you asking me about this all of a sudden?” Mandy was confused as she did not know what had happened. Cecilia was quite perplexed. She then said, “I want to know about one thing. If you’re just simply living with a man without a ph
“The CEO’s secretary?” The female receptionist was confused. “May I know who you are…” Now, York Enterprise enjoyed quite a privileged position in Niumhi. A lot of people who wanted to meet Yvonne Xavier always behave themselves in a respectful manner. It was the first time she met a person like Wyatt Johnson who acted in a dominant and ferocious manner. “I’ll give her three minutes. If she doesn’t come out by then, she won’t be the CEO’s secretary anymore.” Wyatt smiled coldly. He went there to snatch the power and status forcefully that day. How was it possible that he would be nice and cordial?But the female receptionist just stared at Wyatt in shock. ‘Is this guy out of his mind? Doesn’t he know that Yvonne is the mysterious new CEO’s most trusted person?’“Sir, this is York Enterprise. Although I don’t know who you are, you can’t say nonsense like that. Our company doesn’t welcome people like you who are impolite. Now, please leave. If not, I’m going to call the security gu
The female receptionist touched her cheek in pain. At that moment, she was so frightened by Wyatt Johnson’s dominance that she did not dare to speak. She had been the female receptionist for such a long time. It was indeed the first time she saw such an outrageously arrogant and reckless person. “I don’t want to repeat what I said just now.” Wyatt said coldly. At the same time, he glanced at the security guards who came over. “If you want to suffer terribly, just come at me so long as you’re able to bear the consequences!” The security guards looked at each other. They were frightened by Wyatt’s dominance, and they did not dare to speak at the moment because of the deep oppression. “I… I’ll call Miss Xavier over…” The female receptionist dialled the contact number in Yvonne Xavier’s office. Although she knew not who was the person standing before her, she knew that she had to ask Miss Xavier to come. If not, there might not be any people who could suppress him in the lobby.
Wyatt Johnson had no intention to talk much nonsense. He threw the appointment document at Yvonne Xavier directly. “From today onward, whatever I say, goes here in this company. I hope that this is the last time she’s being slapped. If she’s disobedient, it won’t be as simple as only a slap next time around.” Yvonne took the document subconsciously. After she read the content of the document, she was stupefied on the spot. It was a document which was signed by the Yorks, and its content outlined the appointment of Wyatt as the CEO of York Enterprise...‘How… can this be possible?‘Wasn’t it Mr. York who just took up the post a few days ago? Besides, why did the Yorks appoint such an unknown trivial person to be the CEO? Isn’t it a joke?’“Where did you get this document? You should know about the consequences of forging a document, right?” Yvonne said with a deep voice. “Forging? Do I need to forge a document? You’re the CEO’s secretary. Can’t you differentiate the authentic
Yvonne Xavier’s expression turned sour. She was not a casual woman! Harvey York would have never said something like that.However, those words coming from someone like Wyatt Johnson infuriated Yvonne.She was barely restraining her anger as she said, “I’ve already contacted the York family to verify your identity, whether you are the new CEO or not. However, the titles of CEO and secretary are merely hierarchical relationships here, so please have some respect!”“Respect?” Wyatt smirked. ‘Sometimes, subduing a person is a very exciting process—Yvonne has a temper, so it’ll be interesting to make her yield.’Wyatt suddenly stood up from his chair and slammed the office door shut.Yvonne jumped, her heart pounding. “What do you think you’re doing, Wyatt Johnson?”“What do you think I’m doing?” Wyatt smiled creepily at Yvonne, and continued, “Didn’t I just tell you? I’m free right now, and isn’t this normal anyway?”Yvonne was shocked—she did not know Wyatt was this shameless. She
“Get away from me! Don’t touch me!”“You’d rather submit to force than accept my request, huh?” Wyatt slapped Yvonne across her face and pulled her hair roughly.Yvonne let out a pained cry, and Wyatt became more excited. The old witch had been tormenting him these past few days—his dignity had been thrown to the ground and stepped on over and over again.At that moment, he felt like he had gotten his pride as a man back.“Looks like the last CEO didn’t get it on with you, hmm? Well, I’ll be happy to take that opportunity!”Wyatt felt so powerful that he did not care about the consequences. He was the CEO of York Enterprise, what was the worst that could happen from sleeping with a secretary?Yvonne kept struggling, and her screams echoed throughout the office.Wendy Sorell was on her way to the office to report her progress after handling her matters at the main hall. She heard Yvonne’s screams and rushed to the office, swinging open the door. She gasped at the sight before her
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
