At the CEO’s office.Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell were both seated quietly. When they heard the door being pushed open, they stood up at the same time.Standing before them was an old woman. Yvonne and Wendy were both a little nervous as the woman’s aura was quite intimidating. Her stern presence was not like any normal person's, and dominated the entire room.Yvonne who came from an established background was frozen to the spot, while Wendy who was from a normal family did not dare say a word.Thea York glared at Yvonne and Wendy. The CEO's secretaries were quite cute; no wonder her kept man, Wyatt Johnson, did not come back home last night.“Who are you? This is the CEO’s office. How can you just casually walk in?” Yvonne calmed herself down and asked, raising an eyebrow.Thea eyed Yvonne disdainfully. “What right does a lil’ b*tch like you have to ask who I am? Ask your CEO to come out and see me!”When Yvonne heard her words, her brows furrowed. What had happened in the p
“I don’t know what rubbish your man is made of but don’t you worry, I’ve no interest in competing with a dominatrix!” Although Yvonne’s lips were bleeding from the beating, she did not hold back.At that moment, Wendy Sorrell knew she had to step in, or Yvonne might be beaten to death right there and then. She did not dare fight back, and could only rush toward Yvonne and stand in front of her. She said lightly, “Miss Xavier, please don’t say anymore. Let’s wait for the CEO to return. You cannot always bear the burden by yourself, he’s the CEO, after all…”“You’re protecting her and yet you claim that you’re not snatching my man away?” Thea York laughed frostily then turned to look at Wendy. “You kneel down too, you lil’ pig, or else I’ll teach you a lesson too!”Wendy felt conflicted, but when she saw Yvonne in pain, she had no choice but to kneel. If she continued to be stubborn, she would end up like Yvonne.Thea was very pleased to see the two women who had snatched her man aw
“Do you think that you’re in the capital?” Harvey York spoke icily. “Do you think that this place is just like the York family where you can play tricks and bully others?”“Oh? Isn’t it?” Thea York’s eyes were brimming with contempt. “Even if this is not the city, you’re just trash that’s being thrown away by the family. Do you think that you can win against me?”Harvey glanced at her bodyguards and scoffed, “Do you think that this rubbish you brought here can beat me?”Thea mocked, “Harvey, I heard that you’ve become the live-in son-in-law of some Zimmer family. Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you dare make a move, I’ll make the whole Zimmer family pay for your sins!”“Also, since you’re still alive, I would like to say this to your face: York Enterprise belongs to me. This is my present to that dog of mine. If you dare walk in here next time, I’ll make other people break both your legs!”Her dog?Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell looked at each other. They seemed to unders
“Are you wondering why I have such skills?” Harvey smirked.Thea York was shocked to the core and collapsed on the sofa in a disheveled heap. Her breathing quickened as she asked, “How could this be?”“It’s simple, really. If I didn’t have these skills, I would not only have been driven out three years ago, I would be dead. Do you understand?” Harvey said slowly.Thea’s eyes widened. She had not known why Harvey had managed to stay alive three years ago, but now she knew.The York family would usually kill an abandoned heir, without a doubt. Why would they allow him to be a live-in son-in-law? It was a hidden danger for them.However, this abandoned heir could not be properly dealt with. Could the York family not even take his life?Under these circumstances, would the family not have planted a trap at the very least?“Harvey… I admit that I looked down on you. However, so what if you have some skills? In this age, we don’t look at great fighting skills anymore. No matter how st
Harvey York smiled cruelly as he grabbed Wyatt Johnson’s neck, lifting him up with one hand. He snarled softly, “Do you not understand the situation? Do you think that this old b*tch can really protect you?” Harvey flung him away roughly.Thud!Two of Wyatt’s teeth fell out, and he squealed like a pig who was being slaughtered. However, this was the CEO’s exclusive floor. No one else was around aside from them.Thea York’s heart clenched at the sight, and she quickly tugged on Harvey’s arm. “Let go of him, Harvey. He is my precious sweetheart. If you dare hurt him, I’ll make sure that you’ll end up not having a body to bury!”Harvey kicked her and Thea was sent crashing to the ground. However, Thea refused to give up. She hugged Harvey’s calf and held on. “Let go of him! Let go of him!”Harvey smiled frostily. He loosened his left hand and hit Wyatt’s belly with his fist.Wyatt wailed loudly, his whole body curled up like a fetus. He was in such excruciating pain that sweat cov
Wyatt Johnson was her kept man. He had been ruthlessly tortured by Thea for the past few days until he had turned haggard. He did not even dare to raise his voice in front of her, how could he lay a finger on her now?However, if he did not hit her, Tyson Woods would beat her to a pulp.“Your strength must be to Yvonne Xavier’s satisfaction. If she’s not happy with it, then we do not count that slap. You’ll need to take note of that when you beat her,” Harvey York casually reminded Wyatt.Wyatt trembled as he stood up. He looked at Harvey, then turned to Thea. He could not bear to hit her after he had raised his hand.Thea closed her eyes and yelled, “Wyatt, if you dare let me be hit a second time, I’ll abandon you!”Wyatt gritted his teeth. He had been her kept man for so long. He sucked up to this old woman and allowed her to disgrace him. He had lost his dignity long ago, but a fire had been lit in his heart for the past two days.He gritted his teeth and slapped her. Slap!
After Ella Graves’ thorough checkup, Yvonne Xavier’s injuries were determined to not be that serious. She just needed to rest for ten to fifteen days and she would fully recover.Wendy Sorrell’s wounds were not serious either. Ella estimated that she would only need three days of rest.However, they both would not be able to go to work for sure. They needed to recuperate at home.Yvonne agreed that she and Wendy should rest and allow their wounds to heal. Harvey would need to personally take care of York Enterprise’s matters for the time being. ***One week later, Wendy came back to work. Yvonne still needed a few more days of rest.Wendy somewhat understood Yvonne’s tasks, so under Yvonne’s instructions, she temporarily took over her job.In the CEO’s office, Harvey was looking at some documents when Wendy carefully knocked on the door and entered. She handed him an invitation card and said, “CEO, the Naiswell family from the capital will be organizing an antique fair here in
The members of the Zimmer family looked at each other. They had heard about this and even heard that the Naiswells had officially invited the new CEO of York Enterprise to participate in the Antique Fair.The first-class families in Niumhi had all received invitations to the event, but the Zimmer family still had not received one. It must be because they had gone unnoticed by the Naiswells.The Naiswells—the first-class family in the provincial town. They were a supreme existence and all families had to look up to them if they stayed in Niumhi. It would be a huge honor to be able to receive an invitation to the Antique Fair. Although the Zimmer family had achieved something this year, they still had to work harder if they wanted the Naiswells to take them seriously.Although the Zimmer family thought so, Senior Zimmer did not. He drummed his fingers on the table and said, “Everyone, we finally have some achievements this year. The project of the commercial center as well as the coop
"What are you doing? Why didn't you crawl and go on your knees when you saw your master return, and you keep on screaming when the Xavier family of Wolsing is just a vassal of Country A Xavier Inc!"Didn't that old man Nashon ever teach you what to do? Your attitude makes Country A Xavier Inc. very sad! Even a dog I raise won't bite me, but all you do is keep barking!" reprimanded Linus as he kept shaking his head as if he had got the wrong dog.But the most important part was that such words were aimed at the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families of Country H. While shocking, it also showed just how domineering Country A Xavier Inc. is.Nashon's expression also instantly turned dark.But before he could say anything, Yvonne snorted and said, " Country A Xavier Inc? They're just one branch of our family who betrayed our family. They're just a conglomerate that managed to expand their business after running away into Country A! And now you dare to come here to treat the pl
Vroom!Just as Harvey and the others were almost finished and were about to move on to tea and desserts, the sounds of engines roaring suddenly came from the side door where they were having lunch.At the same time, there were also the sounds of the Xavier family's security guards calling and yelling.But for some reason, the usually stubborn security guards could not stop the engine sounds from getting closer. Very quickly, twelve Black Badge Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped right at the entrance of the side chamber with arrogance.All the artificial hills, flowers, and grass were in a mess.Thump! Thump! Thump!Instantly, dozens of men in military uniforms opened the door and exited from their cars. Their eyes were full of spirit and full of vitality. It was obvious that they were all martial arts elites. Other than that, there were also dozens of elite men and women wearing suits and leather shoes.Then, two sexy secretaries walked over to the car's back seat and opened the
"Harvey's here," Nashon smiled when he saw Harvey arrive. His smile was even brighter than usual when he knew Harvey had agreed to sign the contract.Obviously, Nashon was getting increasingly happy with this man who might become his family's son-in-law in the future."Come, let me introduce someone to you. Behind Yvonne is my granddaughter and Yvonne's cousin, Sia Xavier."Meanwhile, Harvey gave Sia a strange look. She was a young woman who was of 18-years-of-age. She had just matured, and an innocent aura surrounded her. Her plump face and her hourglass figure made her have both innocence and lust.If she were to download a particular streaming app and start streaming, she would instantly get tens of millions of fans very quickly."Come, this is Harvey." Obviously, Yvonne also doted on her cousin.Sia's eyes landed on Harvey briefly, and she weakly greeted, "Brother-in-law…"When Yvonne heard that, her face turned red, and Harvey's expression instantly froze as he almost fell
Harvey sighed. "I thought so too; that's why I gathered everyone here. Why don't all of you give it a look and see what we should do? Should we sign the contract?"Harvey said in a helpless tone. "The old man also said that I don't have to worry. This is not part of Yvonne's assets if she marries over… That the Xavier family wouldn't be such a cheapskate…"The atmosphere became even more awkward. Everyone knew that Yvonne only had her eyes on Harvey, but Harvey's attitude was unclear. After receiving this 10% share, Sky Corporation will be completely bonded with Xavier Corporation.Perhaps Nashon also wanted to use this chance to improve Harvey and Yvonne's relationship a little more.Tyson grinned and said, "Boss, seeing that Yvonne treats you that well, why don't you just marry into the Xavier family and become their live-in son-in-law? That's one of the top ten families in Country H, and if Sky Corporation works with them, we might have a fighting chance even if we're going agai
"Then, it has been decided," Nashon replied and waved his hand, stopping whatever Yvonne wanted to say. "You can treat this as compensation, or you can treat this as us adding more duties to you. Regardless, from now onward, the only person who has authority over you within this family is me. "Even your cousin Jesse will be under your command when necessary. If there are no accidents, then you'll be the next matriarch of the Xavier family."Nashon then smiled at Harvey and said, "Harvey, I have a suggestion. Since we're on this topic, I wonder if you'd consider it. We, the Xaviers of Wolsing, lack a live-in son-in-law. If you're willing to, it's fine even if the patriarch of the Xavier family uses the last name York, right?"Harvey was speechless. The old man would do everything to drag him down into the mud!"So, are you happy with my explanation?" Nashon gave Harvey a meaningful smile and an even more meaningful look. Obviously, if Harvey nodded, wealth beyond his imagination wo
"As for using Sheldon to force Yvonne, now you must understand that all this is just a scheme. No matter how far our family has fallen, we don't have to explain our scheme to outsiders, correct?' Nashon smiled faintly. While his words were quite soft, Harvey's inquisition of him was useless.Harvey narrowed his eyes. While he had always known the old man would be quite a handful, he did not realize he would be so hard to deal with. Nashon laughed and waved his hand when he noticed the slight change in Harvey's expression.Shortly after, a maid walked over with an ancient wine flask, next to sleek wine glasses.Nashon picked up the flask, poured the two glasses full, and winked at Harvey. "Come, Harvey. Why don't we taste this Spirit Wine that I frequently obtained from an auction recently?""Spirit Wine?"Harvey frowned and narrowed his eyes. He could sense that the wine was not some ordinary wine, but he did not know why Nashon suddenly wanted to bring this thing out.When Nasho
"I don't think so. You never underestimated me," replied Harvey, with conviction. "Meanwhile, I did underestimate the Xavier family's ambition. You used my hand to destroy the Shinto Way's foundation so you could take everything they owned within our country. Aren't you afraid you'll get too full if you eat everything in one go?"Jesse, who had not said anything until now, narrowed his eyes as he heard what Harvey had to say. He did not expect Harvey to have already figured everything out alone.Meanwhile, there was little to no change in Nashon's expression. He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. While we have used you, but you can't blame us since Yvonne is our scheme's most important piece. To us, all she needed to do was to act as bait. As for who were the ones coming for the bait… That would be our consideration."Harvey's expression became cold. "If I never came, won't Yvonne fall into the hands of the Islanders?""And will you allow it?" Nashon laughed. "Even if y
Third ring of Wolsing, ten in the evening.Compared to the dilapidated Island Nation embassy in the outer ring, the Xavier residence in the third ring of Wolsing looked mysterious and solemn. Not long after leaving the embassy, he did not waste his breath and immediately told Jesse to lead the way and bring him and Yvonne back to the Xavier of Wolsing.He had to explain certain things even if it was to the top ten families of Country H. Otherwise, this would not be a complete scheme. Jesse said nothing and simply led the way in silence.The three swiftly walked through winding paths past corridors, lakes, and artificial hills. In the end, they arrived at an old building in the middle of the residence.While this place looked empty and deserted, the reality was that this place was filled with lethal dangers. Those who came here without informing the people here ahead would not even know how they died.The candle in the old candle holder was burning within the building. While it was
Whoosh!Aya gave it her all, but Harvey simply swung his sword. But Harvey's seemingly underwhelming attack defended against Aya's explosive offensive. Aya did not choose to retreat after her attack failed. Her princess pride did not allow her to retreat simply.She took a deep breath and gave her 120%. Her power and speed were much faster when she attacked again. However, the moment the attack was going to fall, Aya shuddered. Because she noticed that Harvey's eyes had always been so cold from the very beginning…It was as if he had seen through life and death…It was as if he had seen through her life and death…Unspeakable despair grew in Aya's heart, and she felt that her sight began to be covered in darkness. A cold aura seemed to cover her from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.Clang!At this moment, Harvey's swing clashed with Aya's full-powered strike. However, Aya could simply feel her hand shaking and her right hand numbed. And then, the blade of her s
