“You don’t need to know.” Rosalie Naiswell said with an expression as cold as ice.“I’m here to represent the Naiswell family to talk about our future collaboration.”Senior Zimmer froze, he would not have thought that Rosalie would say something like this.The worthless sack of trash, Harvey York had such an important place in Shane’s heart? Would the Zimmer family need the likes of a live-in son-in-law to climb the ranks?At that moment, it was unimaginable even for Senior Zimmer.Rosalie kept talking, “I’ve got a lot of business to attend to, so I’ll make it short.”“Coincidentally, the Naiswells owed Harvey a favor before.”“He came to our house today to ask us to repay the favor by acknowledging the Zimmer family.”“My grandfather did not accept the request initially, but he did promise to pick out a project to work with the Zimmer family. As for the effectiveness of our collaboration and if you could use it to rise above ranks depend solely on your performance.”Senior Z
Senior Zimmer was barely holding in his laughter.Once the contract was signed, it meant that the Zimmers would officially collaborate with the Naiswells.Despite it not being Shane Naiswell asking for the collaboration himself, to have a chance to work with the Naiswells was a rare opportunity for the Zimmers.In all of South Light, the people that had the opportunity to work with the Naiswells were only first class families around the city.That also meant that the Zimmers having the qualifications to work with the Naiswells would give them the chance to climb to the top of the ranks, along with the help of the Commercial Centre Project.The Zimmers were being backed up by York Enterprise and the Naiswells, the two giants at the same time. How hard could it be to climb the ranks?“I thank you, for giving us the opportunity to work with the Naiswells.” Senior Zimmer said humbly.“Thank you for coming all the way here to send us this good news, Miss Naiswell.”“And please help
When Zack Zimmer had arrived at the villa, Senior Zimmer swiftly told him about the collaboration with the Naiswells.At the same time, Senior Zimmer made a straight face.“Zack, this collaboration might be overseen by Rosalie Naiswell herself. You have to grab this chance. If you can somehow make her yours, I wouldn’t even mind you being their live-in son-in-law!”Zack froze.‘My grandfather was usually nice to me, why would he ask me to be someone else’s live-in son-in-law? Is he planning to give up on me?’Senior Zimmer had seen through Zack’s thoughts, he then reassured him and said, “Zack, be rest assured. The Zimmers will always be open to you even if you somehow managed to be the Naiswells’ live-in son-in-law. Don’t you worry about it!”“About Rosalie Naiswell, you can try it if you want. I heard that she might be the next heir of the Naiswells. If you can make her yours, even to the point of being a live-in son-in-law, you could take her place in the future when she has c
Harvey York’s eyes twitched, he looked up to the ceiling, speechless.‘Why would she still ask about this after so long?’This affair could not be easily explained.Without a second thought, he sighed.“Mandy, please just trust me on this one. We’re really just friends! If we really had some kind of affair, I’ll get hit by a car when I go outside!”Mandy Zimmer reached out her hand and covered his mouth.“Shush! Don’t jinx it, stop talking nonsense. I believe you already!”The two looked at each other and smiled, the ice seemingly being broken.The quarrels between spouses are usually short, but the relationship between Harvey and Mandy were too complex. They did not even count as actual husband and wife, only on the outside. It was because of this that so many contradictions between the two had arisen.“Harvey, I have to work. You head off first, come back home sooner.” Mandy said shyly.She made her decision, she might have to cross the line that night. If not, her husband
In the evening, Harvey York had left the office and drove his Porsche to fetch Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was as giddy as a little girl with ice cream when she got on the front passenger seat. She thought that Harvey would only go fetch her with an electric bike, she even prepared herself to force a smile on the bike. She did not think that he would drive a Porsche here.This meant that Harvey must really value Rosalie, right?“What are you laughing at?”Harvey was confused. A woman’s mind is so complex, it changes so frequently when it wants to.Rosalie looked out the window and smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to smile. Got a problem?”“No problem at all! You’re the young lady of the Naiswells. Not just in Niumhi, even in all of South Light, you can do whatever you want.” Harvey York said.Harvey did not say those words for flattery. Despite the Naiswells not being able to control all of Niumhi just yet, their authority was still extraordinary.“Then let’s go shopping. When I
Rosalie Naiswell did not recognize the two. She looked at them for a while and then nodded.“Oh, it’s you guys. We haven’t even met after graduating university, what a coincidence seeing you guys in Niumhi.”Ria Ferguson smiled and walked toward Rosalie while trampling on her high heels, then gave her the elevator eyes.“I know, right? What a small world we live in!”Ria’s husband had tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university. Naturally, she would have hostility toward Rosalie at that moment.Ria took a thorough look at Harvey York and laughed. “Rosalie, I heard that the Naiswells didn’t have a man worthy enough to inherit the family business this generation and that you’re planning to find a live-in son-in-law.”“The man in front of me isn’t really who you picked, yes?”“If you ask for my opinion, there were plenty of fish in the sea during your time in university. Why pick such a poor wretch?”“But fair enough, only people like this would be someone else’s liv
“Wha—”A few store clerks were perplexed.That was a Platinum Card!This thing could not be compared to the Amex Black Card, but was also a symbol of identity and status. People that do own this card were said to have assets worth thousands.There were no more than a hundred of those in all of Niumhi.After a moment of shock, the store clerk bowed in front of him and said, “This respectful gentleman. With this card, we are able to sell the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ to you.”Their voices weren’t that audible, but people from nearby jewelry stores looked toward their direction anyway. They did not think that a limited edition product like the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ would be sold out already a few days after release.After hearing this, Owen Hawkins arrogantly looked and smiled at Rosalie Naiswell.“Rosalie, you should at least have some standards in looking for a man. You can’t just simply find a man and expect him to buy you a necklace like this.”Ria Ferguson clung onto her husband’s arm,
Ria Ferguson laughed coldly.“Oh, Rosalie Naiswell. I remember you saying during university that you would find yourself a Prince Charming in the future.”“And then what happened? How are you not embarrassed taking a kept man that’s using your money to go shopping with you?”Rosalie looked at Ria with an expression as cold as ice and then shook her head.“Harvey, don’t let these people ruin our date. Let’s go, leave the necklace.”Harvey York nodded. He was only there to shop with Rosalie, there was no need to cause such a big trouble. He turned his body, ready to leave.Owen Hawkins chuckled.“This so-called Amex Black Card is also fake, I assume?”“I heard that a fake Amex Black Card only costs you twenty five dollars. The appearance of the card looks real too, am I really this lucky to be able to encounter a thing like this?”Harvey took his card back and glanced at Owen.“Even if it is fake, what’s it got to do with you?”“I just can’t stand people posing around even tho
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
