“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
“He can’t take that. Will that really happen since you said so? Who the hell do you think you are? Are you the CEO of York Enterprise? Do you think that you’re their relative since you share the same surname as them? There are so many people who have the surname of Marshall. So does it make them the same family?” Lilian was so angry about so many things, and she was filled with deep wrath. Harvey was about to say something more. Mandy had now come out of the bedroom. She then said, “Mom, Harvey wasn’t there today. We really couldn’t blame him. It’s Zack. He was too shameless. Besides, Harvey had helped me borrow the eight hundred thousand dollars, and he had helped resolve the emergency at hand. Could you please…” “What is that? To treat him better? Look at his shabby appearance! He doesn’t look like a prince even if he dresses himself up nicely!” Lilian scolded him. She had now forgotten to mention the divorce. “Hurry up and go cook now! I’m warning you. If you want to stay in our
Dan stood up and took out a history book, then flipped open a page. It was a story about a king walking barefoot to a cathedral where he was whipped as penance.King Henry the Second!-The next day, a row of luxury cars suddenly appeared. Among them were Ferrari, Bugatti, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce.All the luxury car brands that could be found in this world appeared, and it was very noisy.Harvey, who had just finished his morning training, was just walking past the entrance. He didn't leave in a rush. Instead, he moved a stool over and sat down curiously.Very quickly, the doors opened, and many figures got out of the cars. The men and women wore high-quality outfits, and all of them bore the imposition of someone of high status.When the guards of the Foster residence saw these people, they were instinctively rattled. It was obvious that these were heirs of the large families in Grand City. They were either scions or ladies of their families. In other words, none of them wer
Coco was slightly stunned when she heard that. "You already knew Wenzel's coming back? Is that why you made all these preparations?"Dan shook his head. "How should I know when he's coming back? What I do know is that there's going to be consequences no matter if we're able to arrest Tina, hence why I made preparations. While it wastes some resources and can be quite a handful, we now know it's the right way."At the very least, we won't be trapped in a corner. Since this happened before Wenzel came back, no one can accuse us of falsifying this evidence. Sometimes, it can be quite lonely being the best," Dan added calmly.Seeing his composure, Coco held his arm and gushed, "You're the best, Dan! Without you, I might have already died plenty of times. "But even if we can stop this from worsening, what about Silvan?"He's not one of us, but he's also a member of the Seven Families. The Jacksons would want us to give them a proper reason. At the very least, we need to help him take
"I really didn't expect Wenzel would come back…" Dan said, pouring himself a cup of tea and taking a sip.When Coco saw that Dan could still remain so calm, she wasn't sure what she should say. Her face, drained of color, spoke much of her state."Coco, now that things have reached this stage, there's no point in being anxious," Dan said as he put down the teacup and consoled her. "While Wenzel's return is a huge problem, it's not exactly all bad. Just wait and let things settle down first…"Coco finally recovered after hearing that. She looked at Dan and forced herself to calm down. "Dan, I know you've always been good at planning and winning without lifting a finger, and you don't really care about a lot of things. You probably already have a plan to deal with this."But it's really different this time. Don't forget why we told Silvan to go to the Foster residence in the first place. If Wenzel got his hands on the recordings, you'd be labeled a criminal for acting against your
A lounge at the Foster residence.Wenzel walked in with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment. He knew very well just how hard Vaida had worked to stop everything from falling apart in the ten years he had been absent. That was why he wanted to console her first before saying anything else.However, he didn't expect to see that she had already prepared a pot of tea for him when he stepped into the lounge. Seeing Wenzel come in, Vaida stood up, pulled the chair opposite her, and greeted him with a gentle smile. "You're home, Dad."It was as if Wenzel hadn't been gone in the last decade. He felt like Vaida was treating him as if he had just gone to work in the morning and had come home after a long day.Wenzel was slightly taken aback, then gave Vaida a gentle smile. "Yes, I'm home."He originally wanted to say something along the lines of "Thank you", but seeing her expression, he knew those words were meaningless. There were many times when the p
None of the elites from Earth Hall had a problem with Wenzel's words. They all kneeled on the ground and said, "We understand the gravity of our crimes. We accept our punishment!"Meanwhile, Silvan's eye twitched as he forced a smile. "You're mistaken, Mayor! You've been away and didn't return in the past decade. You probably don't know what's happening in Grand City. Please listen to my explanation. I'm sure you'll be happy with it."Silvan was no fool. He knew very well that tonight, he might be made an example of if he wasn't careful. He had no choice but to choose to surrender so that he wouldn't be killed with one slap.Harvey said nothing but simply looked at what was happening without much interest. The others might be afraid of Wenzel, but he didn't feel anything."Grand City's current situation? Isn't it just someone wanting to hijack my authority while I'm away?" Wenzel said softly, but his words were frightening. "If I return any later, would you have a new mayor already
Rumble…The gigantic helicopter slowly landed on a platform right outside the entrance of the Foster Residence. The door slid open, and dozens of men in white robes walked out. Their faces were cold, as if they were machines or puppets. When they walked out, it was difficult to tell if they were even humans.Among the group, several men and women wearing masks could be seen among the men. While they weren't that eye-catching, they seemed to be surrounded by a formless, subtle aura of awe.Harvey gave them a look, and he could tell these men and women were extremely powerful. They were all elites at the level of True Warriors. All he could say was that Grand City was indeed very well established.A woman wearing Givenchy's exclusive collection and frameless glasses slowly walked out before standing aside, making way for a middle-aged man wearing a traditional garb. The man had a powerful figure and a handsome face. The outfit he was wearing was quite old, with a few patches here and
"Forget being on your knees and begging me, you're even threatening me," Harvey patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?""If you do, you wouldn't be wasting your breath now!" Silvan said with a cold smile, his expression brutal. "I'm warning you… You had better return the Absolute Decree to me in one piece, then kneel and beg for forgiveness and offer Tina to me. Then, maybe things will end here. Otherwise, you're going to pay for your mistake your entire life! At that time, not only you… Even those who stand with you will have to pay a price you can't even imagine!"Silvan had been given an order to take Tina away no matter what. That was his first aim.Of course, he couldn't simply let the part where he was humiliated be. He would get his revenge one way or another.Harvey smiled. "Really, now. Since you sound so confident, just bring it on. Let's see if your face is harder, or the Absolute Decree is harder…"When Silvan s
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
