“Come on! It’s just one glass!”Bohdi still poured Xynthia Zimmer the drink anyway.Xynthia shook her head.“I’m really allergic.”“Don’t be such a downer, Xynthia! Please drink some!”“Yeah! We’re all guests here! We should be going along with the host! You shouldn’t be this impolite!”“Young Master Burton and Young Master Bohdi are prominent figures of the Bharata Business Council! How are you supposed to make a career out of yourself if you’re being this disrespectful?”“You’ll gain so much just by having the drink! There’s no way that you don’t understand, do you?”Everyone spoke up in unison to pressure Xynthia into drinking.Xynthia just kept quiet with a calm look on her face.Eli Burton thought about the situation before he opened his mouth.“You’re not mad at us going at your brother-in-law now, are you?” asked Eli profoundly.“I am!” replied Xynthia coldly.Eli chuckled before he showed a cold gaze. He never expected that this woman was so much more different tha
“Here’s to our friendship, Sir York!”Eli Burton raised his glass.“Right!”Harvey York clinked his glass with Eli’s before they chugged their drinks down.Soon after, everyone had three glasses of drinks.After Eli gave everyone a look, a young man stepped forward with a warm smile.“Here’s a toast to meeting you, Sir York!”“Enough, Harvey! Let’s get out of here!”Xynthia Zimmer kept tugging on Harvey’s clothes after seeing those people trying to get Harvey drunk.Harvey completely ignored Xynthia and merely smiled at the young man. They clinked glasses before Harvey downed his drink again.“You’re such a generous man, Sir York! Let’s get along…”“I strive to have an outlook like yours, Sir York!”“It’s so good to meet you, Sir York!”Around eight young masters from India went up to Harvey for a toast.They were being so hospitable, as if Harvey was their savior.Harvey smiled while constantly clinking his glass with the others. He had no intention of stopping any time
The Dragon Set was all empty after another round.Eli Burton coldly chuckled when he saw the sight.‘This guy’s such an idiot. He must be an amateur.‘We’re obviously trying to wear him down. Can’t he see that?’Everyone knew that Harvey York was about to topple sooner or later when they saw him walk while swaying around.Bohdi was showing a playful smile when he saw the sight as well.‘As expected from Young Master Burton.‘He learned so much to win with strategy alone.’Bohdi clapped his hands before the waiter brought over another Dragon Set.He brought over two bottles of Ace of Spades and handed one to Harvey.“Let’s drink a bottle each, Sir York! You’re a man, aren’t you?”Xynthia Zimmer was terrified after seeing the sight.“You can’t drink anymore, Brother-In-Law!”“It’s okay! I’m fine!“I can hold my liquor!Harvey seemed like he was in a daze while his body kept swaying. He grabbed the bottle with a smile on his face and replied, “Let’s do it!”Bohdi smiled ba
Soon after, Bohdi toppled before everyone else followed suit.Xynthia Zimmer was completely shocked! Her brother-in-law was just impressive!Harvey York carried a bottle right in front of Eli Burton, who was already getting pretty sluggish.“For the mighty country of India, let’s have another toast!” said Harvey with a smile.Eli had no chance even to decline such a good excuse.Eli’s body was constantly trembling while his eyes were filled with despair, but he had to grab the bottle Harvey had brought over.Eli was going mad as soon as he chugged the bottle down. It was his first time seeing someone this good at drinking.All of his schemes…They were all turned into jokes at this very moment!Eli’s body was going limp while his stomach was burning. If he kept drinking, he would actually go insane.Harvey did not give him a chance to rest, though. He grabbed another bottle with a warm smile and said, “Come! Come! For the mighty Vaishyas!”“Right… Right…”Eli could not focu
On the next day, in Hearthstone Corporation.Mandy Zimmer had been working overnight before she walked out of her office with a miserable look.Because of Lilian Yates, she could not just stay in the Hatchet Gang’s base camp. One of the rooms in the building was turned into a makeshift room for her to rest for the time being.Mandy took small sips of the porridge that she had made herself.It was not as easy to manage the company at all. Other than all the detailed accounts she had to sort out, the shareholders were scattered when they held their own authority.Even if Mandy could make all the shots for the company because of her seventy percent shares, the shareholders should not be underestimated.Along with the xenophobic behavior of Flutwell’s upper social circle, Mandy had been living a tough life for the past few days.But after thinking that Harvey was the one who got all the shares for her, Mandy took a deep breath before going through the accounts again.If she still c
“If you’re not telling me what I need to know, I won’t call him,” replied Mandy Zimmer with a serious look.“You better leave right now, or I’ll call the cops.”Mandy did not know what kind of grudge the woman before her had against Harvey York…But she feared that Harvey would suffer after seeing the two Demon Monks here.“I’ve been looking for him the entire day…“But I still couldn’t find this goddamn b*stard!“You’re his ex-wife, but we can only keep you here since we can’t find him!Diana Lee glared coldly at Mandy.“You better make the call right now, or it’ll be bad if I get angry!”Obviously, Diana had no idea that Harvey was living in the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.If she did, she would probably stay away from him.In her mind, Harvey would definitely show himself if Mandy was used as bait.“Don’t you understand me?!”Mandy’s face instantly darkened.“This is the Hearthstone Corporation! Our shareholders are all prominent figures in the city!“The company doesn’t
Mandy Zimmer gritted her teeth while enduring the throbbing pain on her face.“I’ll never kneel before you…”Slap!Diana Lee swung the back of her palm across Mandy’s face.Simultaneously, Diana furiously grabbed a handful of Mandy’s hair and slammed her head on the table.Mandy felt a sharp pain before her head spun. She was on the verge of passing out at this moment.She was the head of the ninth branch of the Jean family, but she had never fought anyone in her entire life.She had to suffer to those who did things this way in Flutwell…Bam bam!The women behind Mandy kicked her on the back of her knees, forcing her to be on her knees.Her face was completely swollen and covered in blood. It was truly a sorry sight.Diana crossed her arms and looked down at Mandy with a smirk.“Oh my. Aren’t you a feisty one?“You’re kneeling anyway, aren’t you?”The women were laughing at Mandy’s misery.They were already jealous of Mandy’s beauty. After seeing Mandy getting beat up
Harvey York shifted his gaze toward Xynthia Zimmer.“Do you know who did it?” Harvey asked quietly.“Was it Eli Burton?”Harvey more or less understood the situation.He thought that Joseph Bauer was the one who did it, but he would not do something this stupid after discovering that Harvey was the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.That was why Harvey suspected the foolish people he had met the day before.Those people were doing whatever they pleased in someone else’s country. They knew not only when to stop, but they were even acting all high and mighty about it. They were truly lawless people.“It’s Eli and the others!Xynthia felt responsible.“The surveillance cameras in the company building were all destroyed by them, and the workers wouldn’t dare call them out either! Nobody can do anything to them right now!“Even if they were arrested, they still had diplomatic immunity since they’re not from here! The police also can’t do anything to them!”Lilian could not help b
