“This…”Charles Zarate froze in place. Even he thought that the watch was real. He did not know that a fake watch could be counterfeited to this extent. At that moment, his face turned as sour as a lemon.Charles and Luis Zarate would not admit it. They were awfully conceited and did not even consider identifying the antique on the simplest step. If they did, they might not have misjudged about the antique.“I wasn’t even appraising the antique myself. I would be done distinguishing the authenticity in under a minute if things like these were in my hands!”Luis was grinding his teeth and he was not convinced. He did not want to admit that he had lost.In his eyes, this so-called loss was because of Shane Naiswell’s preset rules. If it weren’t for that, how could he have mistaken this fake watch for a real one?‘This wretched-looking tramp, Harvey York, only won because he was lucky. Even Shane was standing by his side, making me look bad.’“One more round! There’s no way I’ll lo
“Why do I have to be successful at appraising treasures?”Harvey York shrugged. “Me, afraid of wronging him? Is he even worthy to be afraid of?” Harvey said naturally. Appraising treasures to him was really nothing more than a hobby. He did not depend on this to make a living, why would he be afraid of offending the said industry’s authorities?Shane Naiswell’s looks congealed. He tried doing a background check on Harvey after he had rejected Shane’s offer before, but had found nothing special about him.There could only be two possibilities.One, Harvey York was indeed just an ordinary person.Two, Harvey York’s history was so extraordinary that even the Naiswell family did not have the permission to look into his past. That was why he had found nothing.Shane did not think that a person like Harvey was just an ordinary person, so it could only be the other explanation.“A York, the York family in South Light? The question is, nobody has heard of such a figure like this in t
Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth while she smiled.“What’s the rush? It’ll be fine waiting for a day or two for a plaything that’ll kneel everytime he sees you.”“True that.”Zack Zimmer nodded while making a complacent face.“The night is long, there will be plenty of opportunities. If he dares to take back his promise, I’ll get people to break his legs!”“Don’t forget why we’re here tonight.”Quinn was agitated as she set her sights on a table with nobody there.“Wasn’t the new CEO of York Enterprise supposed to be here? Why is that table still empty? That’s my future husband. What would I do if he isn’t coming?”Zack smiled and said, “If I was him, I’d be late too. He is representing all of York family in South Light after all, his status is even higher than that of the Naiswells. The fact that he was willing to come is already giving face to the Naiswells. Even if he didn’t attend in the end, what could the Naiswells do about it?”Quinn thought about it and came to the same
Senior Zimmer breathed in heavily, his expressions were frozen solid.What kind of qualification did Harvey York have to walk beside Master Naiswell? He must figure this out. But under those circumstances, this did not matter at all.More importantly, this had actually happened.“What’s going on? Harvey York, this worthless sack of trash. What right does he have?”Quinn Zimmer was resentful.Despite her not having to kneel straight away when she sees Harvey, she still could not accept that the worthless piece of trash in her eyes was standing beside Master Naiswell like an heir of a king!Mandy Zimmer was astonished, though she wasn’t as surprised as everyone else. Especially recently, that this worthless trash of a husband had made her feel that he was full of mystery.But Mandy never thought that her husband could stand this tall, knowing a big-shot like Shane Naiswell.“Maybe it was because of ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak’? Is that why Master Naiswell started to look
“That’s right. He’s even comparable to a dog in our family, but the people are praising him right now!”“Do we expose him for who he is right now? He’s nothing but a live-in son-in-law. Why is he sitting there feeling all high and mighty?”“Zack Zimmer! What do you say?!”“...”The whole family set their eyes on Zack. He was the vice CEO of the Zimmer family, everyone had to consult for his opinion.Zack’s face had suddenly turned gray, he did not know what to say at that moment.The others wanted him to ‘hold the stage’, but all that Zack wanted to do was to dig a hole and hide in it so that Harvey York wouldn’t see him.Or the worthless piece of trash, Harvey could pretend like nothing ever happened. If not, is he about to make Zack kneel in front of him?He wouldn’t even need a day to be the laughing stock in all of Niumhi!Zack would not dare to speak, while Mandy Zimmer hung her head down, forcing not to smile.People had held this live-in son-in-law as a man with talent
“It didn’t matter how he met Master Naiswell, a worthless trash is still a worthless trash.”“I’ll admit to his excellence if he can help the Zimmer family in organizing an event that’ll make us a first class family!”Senior Zimmer breathed in heavily with a cold expression.Mandy Zimmer looked at Senior Zimmer, her heart had felt an unspeakable feeling.On the contrary, Senior Zimmer would never admit the truth that he had always despised Harvey York.Meanwhile, Harvey made acquaintances with the Naiswell family just for the benefits.That could only be described as utterly shameless.Even then, in Mandy’s eyes, Harvey did not even care about the Zimmer family’s opinions on him.Why would he care about what other people said about him when he could talk freely in front of Shane Naiswell?No matter how Shane had looked up to him, the fact that he was sitting there meant that he was successful.Even if it was for his treasure appraising trick, to be noticed and looked up by th
After hearing that, not just Zack Zimmer, the rest of the Zimmer family’s eyes twitched.If they were kicked out of the hall, the Zimmer family would not even have a chance to make a living in Niumhi. To the Zimmer family, this would be a fatal blow to them.At that moment, everyone from the Zimmer family that were present were staring at Zack, perplexed. If he kept dismissing Rosalie Naiswell, the Zimmer family would be finished.“Miss Naiswell, it really is just a joke. If you don’t believe me, you can get the worthless piece of trash here and ask him yourself.” Zack said while he frowned.Even then, he did not have a sliver of respect for Harvey York. He did not stop calling him a worthless piece of trash.Rosalie was only venting for Harvey, but after hearing this man call the man that she admired a worthless piece of trash had made her seething with anger.She glared coldly at Zack.“Is there even a need to? It’s fine if you don’t kneel, but I’ll remember this. Scram right
“Zack, don’t let me say it again. Everyone is waiting.” Rosalie Naiswell said coldly.Zack Zimmer took another look at Senior Zimmer. After all, he was so embarrassed that it was a real shame for the Zimmer family. He hoped that Senior Zimmer could come forward to help him.However, Senior Zimmer looked away as if he did not know Zack.In his opinion, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.If Rosalie was unhappy, he would find himself in a great deal of trouble.This scene made Zack resign himself to his fate. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He then knelt in the direction where Harvey York was.The whole crowd went silent for an instant and there was a burst of uproarious laughter after a while.Did someone kneel on this occasion? This was so hilarious!Zack was kneeling with his head almost down on the ground. At this moment, his face was red and his eyes were full of hatred. His whole body was shaking.‘Harvey York, this is all your fault. I, Zack Zimmer, will surely
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
"Settle the score? What score is there to be settled?" asked Yvonne as she glared at Linus' face."Stop with the act. Of course there is," Linus blew a ring of smoke at Yvonne's face. "Your branch has conspired against us and stolen all the Xaviers' assets. And now, you're going to pretend it never happened? It's not going to be that easy."The reason I'm coming back this time is to warn you. You can either give us back the Xaviers of Wolsing, or I'll forcibly take it back. However, when I do make my move, the entire process wouldn't be that pleasant."Yvonne chuckled and said, "Your things? When your branch left the country, the entire country only left us a single bread. Everything the Xaviers of Wolsing had right now was built using our own two hands. What does this even have to do with you? Whether through logic or the law, what we have now has nothing to do with you. And now, you said you want everything? Who gave you that kind of bravery?"Linus laughed. "Do you think I'll co
"Do you know how we do it in Country A? To cultivate our fighters, we simply inject them with genetic drugs. If we succeed, they become our fighters. If we fail, we'll dump them into the bin. Cultivating a martial artist like you requires decades, But the genetically engineered elites? I only need about ten days. Just that alone; how are you going to fight against us?"Linus' disdain was obvious. He looked down on the Xaviers of Wolsing, especially the primitive techniques used in Country H. In his understanding, Country A's genetic technology was invincible."Well, if I knew you were doing so bad here, I would have prepared dozens of bodyguards for you. They can guard you while you're alive and dead!" Linus cackled in madness and arrogance.All the people he brought over had a meaningful smile on their faces.Meanwhile, the martial artist elites that the Xaviers of Wolsing had cultivated looked at them angrily.It was apparent that Linus' words not only humiliated the Xaviers of
"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
