“I’m afraid it’s not that easy…” Sean frowned slightly. If that were so easy, they would not have such thoughts about Don then.Senior Zimmer slammed the table lightly. He then said, “If anybody can get this amount of funds, then he or she will be the manager of the project of establishing the shopping center!” The project of the shopping center was considered the biggest and most important project of the Zimmers now. If one could be appointed as the manager of that project, he or she might take over the Zimmers and become the head of the Zimmers. The minute Senior Zimmer said that, a lot of people looked strange. But, it was too tricky if everyone wanted to get in touch with the York Enterprise.“Grandpa.” Zack stood up all of a sudden. “Recently, I got to know a beauty from the York Enterprise, and she’s the manager there. She seems like the one who’s having a rather privileged status in the company, and the others will listen to her. Why don’t I go and ask her out to talk
“Yes, he’s just one of my acquaintances. I don’t know why he called me all of a sudden.” Wendy covered the phone with her hand and said cautiously. Harvey smiled slightly. “Ask him to get lost.” “Alright!” Wendy held the phone and walked out of the office. She then shouted coldly, “Our CEO asked you to get lost!” After that, she hung up the phone directly. ‘Zack is really an absolute fool!’ ***At the other end of the phone, Zack was smug at first. Now, he became stunned all of a sudden. After a short while, he almost jumped up. “D*mn! She’s just a mere manager! How could she act so arrogantly in front of me! Who the hell does she think she is? How could she ask me to get lost? How could she look down on our Zimmers like this!” The Zimmers looked at each other in resignation. ‘Didn’t Zack hear that clearly just now?’ ‘She claimed that it was her CEO who asked you to get lost.’ “Grandpa, the York Enterprise is way over the line!” Zack gritted his teeth. “How could they be
Senior Zimmer was deep in thought. He then nodded. Since he adored Zack the most in his generation, he soon turned to look at Mandy when he heard that. He then said, “Mandy, just go ahead. You don’t have to choose the time too. There’s no time like the present. Just go and negotiate a business deal with York Enterprise tomorrow. You must succeed. I won’t allow any failures!” “Grandpa, I think that…” Mandy appeared upset. York Enterprise just scolded them. Now they want to go and negotiate a deal with that particular enterprise the next day. Would it not be like they were asking for humiliation themselves?Senior Zimmer did not allow her the chance to speak more. He then said coldly, “It’s decided now. You just need to fulfill the mission, not to look for excuses!” After that, all of the Zimmers present lowered their heads and stood up. They felt lucky. That was indeed an unfortunate task. The person who was chosen to do that was indeed unfortunate. When they reached home, Lilia
It was evening in Zimmer Villa. The Zimmers gathered around again. A lot of them looked at each other helplessly. A while back, they received the news. So they did not even have their meals when they rushed home for the meeting. At last, they heard that not only did the York Enterprise agree to invest in them, the York Enterprise even increased the amount of investment funds out of their own initiative. They knew very well how the York Enterprise reacted the night before. Almost everyone heard that clearly. They assumed that the task was impossible, but it was accomplished by Mandy now. Why? Mandy was the daughter of the third son in the Zimmers. She was usually not favored. Besides, her company had suffered a significant loss. The Zimmers would soon disown her. However, it turned out that she got the contract now. What if she was being favored then? Would Mandy finally have her moment now?Zack was the one who found it the hardest to believe what had happened. If Mandy was
At that moment, Senior Zimmer, who was seated on the seat of honor, had finished reading the contract. He even took out the magnifying glass and looked closely at the seal. After a short while, he said, “Don’t argue anymore. This contract is real indeed. However, what Zack said is right. This contract seems not to be drafted up at the last minute. It seems like it was drafted up yesterday.”“Certainly, Mandy has her own credits since she went there in the first place. But Zack was willing to endure the humiliation for Zimmers yesterday. His contribution is much more significant.” Hearing that, Zack took a glance at Mandy arrogantly. He then bowed toward Senior Zimmer and said, “Grandpa, as one of the Zimmers, I’ll definitely be quite willing to undergo various ordeals for the Zimmers. So what if I’m being humiliated? If I need to be beaten up just so that the Zimmers could earn money, I’m more than willing to do so!”“Grandpa, I think that this new CEO is aware of the value of Zimm
At first, Yvonne was sending Harvey home in her Bentley. But there was a traffic jam on the way. Hence, Harvey took his electric bike out of the trunk to ride home. But his electric bike broke down, and he fell into the drain. Now he was quite pathetic and awkward. Harvey was about to take a bath and have a change of clothes. But Cecilia had seen him. She laughed coldly and said, “The person appeared as soon as we talked about him. Here comes the good-for-nothing! Harvey, did you fall into the toilet? You stink!” Harvey did not want to be bothered by her. He put the big plastic bag in his hand at the corner of the living room and was going to take a bath. “Harvey, how bold of you to come home? Do you think that it’s a hotel here? Do you think that you can come and leave at your own wishes?” At that moment, Lilian heard the noise. When she came out, her facial expression was unpleasant. ‘If it’s not because of this good-for-nothing, how could Mandy’s significant contribution b
“That’s right!” Cecilia quickly echoed what the other said. “It’s quite possible that Harvey would do such a humiliating thing. He’s a good-for-nothing while Don is a bankrupt man. It’s quite possible that the two of them would conspire with each other. If not, how do we explain the situation in which Harvey is safe and fine now?” “Cecilia! Angel! That’s enough!” At last, Harvey could not hold himself back anymore. He stepped forward and looked at the two women in front of him condescendingly. Undeniably, both Cecilia and Angel were charming. One of them was sexy and attractive, while the other was cute and lovely. Even though they appeared cold and aloof now, they were still quite charming and adorable. Noticing that Harvey was looking at her, Cecilia was filled with disgust. ‘This useless man! How bold of him to have his eyes on his wife’s best friend! He’s such a b*stard!’ “I remember that I’ve told you before. My wife’s company is in need of eight hundred thousand dollars.
Both Mandy’s best friends—Cecilia and Angel, were so frightened that their legs became shaky. They saw eight hundred thousand dollars in front of them. The strong impact which the scene provided was rather unimaginable. “My good daughters, can you address me as your father now?” Harvey said while clapping his hands and smiling faintly. At that moment, Cecilia took a deep breath. She recovered her wits from the great astonishment just now. She then sized Harvey up, and she said contemptuously, “Harvey, don’t assume that I’m unaware of it. It’s Mandy who gave you your pocket money during these three years. You’re such a useless man. How is it possible that you’re able to have eight hundred thousand dollars? I’m afraid that you didn’t get them through proper and legal means.” Hearing that, Mandy frowned slightly too. She grabbed Harvey’s hand unconsciously and dragged him into the bedroom. Harvey was puzzled. It was the first time Mandy grabbed his hand out of her own initiative
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
