Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart froze when they saw Noemi Moreno show up.“Ah, CEO Moreno. You’re pretty well-informed, and I didn’t think you’d be able to figure out our flight schedule accurately.“Interesting.”Noemi showed a faint smile.“My daughter’s the daughter-in-law of the Cobb family, after all.“It’s customary for us to know when you’re here to celebrate the Cobb family’s anniversary event.Yvonne and Ray looked at each other before showing profound looks on their faces.“Why don’t you let me treat you to a meal now that you’re here?“I’ll treat you to the best local meals tonight. How does that sound?”“I’m sorry, CEO Moreno. We’re going to see the chairman right now.“Maybe another time.”Yvonne turned around and left after that.Ray showed an apologetic smile before following behind.Noemi did not get angry after being rejected. Rather, she froze before showing an expression full of shock.‘The chairman?‘The legendary man himself?‘He’s here in the city?!‘I
As time passed, guests gradually started to arrive.Mercedes, Ferraris, Porsches, and other luxury cars were showing up one after another. All the people who arrived looked extremely extravagant.They were all neatly dressed, with jewelry covering their entire bodies. They were moving past the crowd with tall glasses in their hands, as if they were attending a high-end banquet.They would occasionally chat with the others while laughing out loud before showing playful expressions when looking at Harvey York and the others.Compared to their extravagant event, Harvey’s store was completely invisible.‘What a pity…’‘No journalists from TV stations or newspapers…’‘No well-known guests…’‘No celebrity models to hype the scene…’Without free money and drinks, even ordinary people did not bother heading over.Other than “free samples” written on the sign, there was nothing else to indicate that Harvey’s business was officially open.The people could not help but laugh at such an
After seeing the organized and classy look of the Cobb family, Ellen Moreno could not help but chuckle at Harvey York when she looked back with a cold expression.“I could give you a flower basket and buy a box of whatever ointment you have to get your business running.”The people behind Ellen chuckled after hearing Ellen’s words.‘A country bumpkin from Country H put his heart and soul into opening a store, and then what happened?’‘Not even a single customer came! He’s even relying on the goddess who left him to bless him with a flower basket!’‘This is just pathetic at this point!’Harvey sipped his tea before casually replying, “No need. Your flower basket has no right to be here.“We also have no space for you here.”Ellen’s expression changed.“Heh heh heh! There’s no space for me?!“Keep pretending!“Do you think you’re impressive just because you know Trey Bierstadt?!“Do you think you’re the king of the world?!“You’re a nobody here!Ellen let out a cold chuckle
Harvey York squinted. It was a big day, so he could not be bothered to argue against Ellen Moreno.“Drink some water and get more rest while you still can,” said Harvey, looking at Katy Cobb and the others.“We won’t get time for that once the guests arrive.”Then, Harvey poured himself another cup of tea before taking a sip.Ellen and the others stumbled for a bit before looking back at Harvey with utter disbelief.Everyone showed playful and distant smiles, as if they were looking at the clown.They had seen a lot of shameless and ridiculous people, but it was rare for them to see someone like Harvey!‘Not a single customer could be seen, not a single flower basket is taking up space, yet he still has the face to say things like that!’‘How shameless can he get?!’“Tch tch tch! This is getting a little too much, don’t you think?”Grandma Cobb, Eden Cobb, and Valery Cobb walked over with a group of people after seeing Ellen and the others.They immediately scoffed when they
Vroom!Along with the loud sounds of engines revving, a Maybach slowly parked on the street.Right when Grandma Cobb and the others were about to welcome their new guest with a smile, they just realized that there were already no parking spots left for their event.The Maybach was parked right in front of Harvey’s store.Soon after, five men and women walked out of the car.Their clothes were exquisite. Every single one of their movements exuded the auras of elites and upperclassmen.The leading person was none other than Yvonne Xavier.Ray Hart was following closely behind her.Grandma Cobb and the others froze before they showed faces full of shock.There were already reports of Yvonne and Ray in the city for a few days. That was why everyone recognized the two prominent figures of Country H.That said, Grandma Cobb believed she and her family had no right to invite those two!They were not worthy enough just yet!‘Did Noemi get them here?!’After hearing that the Moreno
Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart did not even bat an eye at Noemi Moreno. They immediately walked past her without even bothering to answer her question.Casually ignoring someone like that was clearly an act of silent ridicule.When the two walked toward Harvey York, Yvonne showed a faint smile while Ray showed a respectful expression.“It’s been a while.”Harvey and Yvonne lightly wrapped their arms around each other.The simple movement and Yvonne’s exquisite face were enough for Ellen Moreno to change her expression. She did not even know how to feel at that point.She could not wrap her head around why women like Katy Cobb and Yvonne would treat Harvey with such respect!After all, he was just a man she had cast aside!Harvey glanced at Ray before calmly saying, “You should probably figure out who you’re working with first next time.“After all, we don’t want any random person to get up in our business.”Ray lightly nodded.“You’re right about that. I couldn’t stop certain pe
“I didn’t think you’d care about me this much to get these prominent figures here!“It’s a shame that their identities and statuses are just too high.“You have no right to even have their company here either! This act is just completely out of place!“We can clearly tell these two are just here for show!“At least be honest about it! Just say the word if you can’t get anyone here!“There’s no need to pretend! Nobody knows just how many times you have to kneel for them even to come here!“You only asked for fifteen million dollars? Why not ask for at least 1.5 billion?Ellen Moreno raised her head with a disdainful glare.“Other than these two, I can guarantee nobody else will be coming to your store’s opening!“If there are any, I’ll eat up the sign right now!”Ellen then pointed at Harvey York’s sign with a playful expression.Noemi Moreno was starting to get a little irritated.“Ellen! You can’t just accuse Secretary Xavier and CEO Ray of that!“They’re just soft-hearte
Ellen Moreno looked prideful when she glared at Harvey York.To Ellen, Mr. Finley’s worth was immense compared to Yvonne Xavier and Ray Hart, after all.“Welcome, Mr. Finley! Thank you for gracing us with your visit!”Noemi Moreno and Ellen followed behind with gentle smiles and rising egos hidden in their hearts.After all, having connections with Mr. Finley was a symbol of one’s status in the city.“Oh, Grandma Cobb, CEO Moreno. Congratulations.Mr. Finley felt a little annoyed after having his path blocked off, but he still showed a gentle smile like a true gentleman.“Keep up the good work.”Grandma Cob and the others burst out laughing after hearing Mr. Finley’s words.“Thank you for your support! It really means a lot to us!”“Ellen! Eden! Quickly! Mr. Finley has a gift for us!” exclaimed Noemi quickly after seeing a gift box in his hands.“It’d be embarrassing for him to hold it for so long!”Ellen and Eden Cobb excitedly reached out for the gift box.After all, in
