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
Rosalie Naiswell shook her head constantly.She did like the necklace, but the price was too much to handle.Not just the live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, even she could not bring that much cash at that time.Rosalie pulled Harvey out of the jewelry store.Harvey smiled without saying a word, he knew that Rosalie really liked the necklace.The necklace was indeed expensive, but the price was nothing to Harvey. He’d thought to just buy it behind her back then give it to her later.While the two were talking, Owen Hawkins and Ria Ferguson walked right toward them.Ria seemed to forget the embarrassment that she had endured before and then hypocritically said, “Oh Rosalie, it must be fate that we’re able to bump into each other in Niumhi. Why don’t we find a spot to talk together?”Ever since Ria married Owen, the only thing she resented him for was the time when he tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university.Now that the opportunity had arisen to strike a few more b
Seeing that Harvey York was slightly annoyed by what had happened, the manager would not dare to spout any more nonsense and kept nodding.“Yes! Of course!”The store clerks quickly packed up the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ and respectfully handed it over to Harvey.There was a store clerk that was slightly more beautiful than the others that kept sending eye signals to Harvey and even unconsciously touching his hand.Harvey did not even bat an eye.A few minutes later, Harvey brought a boutique box back to the place he was before.At that moment, those three were still having a conversation.But Rosalie Naiswell did not even want to speak with the other two. She had only stayed reluctantly to give face to the Hawkins family in Mordu.At that moment, Harvey smiled and walked up to Rosalie with the box and gave it to her.“You’re leaving tomorrow. Here’s a little token of appreciation for you, I’ll welcome you the next time you come to Niumhi as a guest!”Rosalie felt delighted. For Har
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
