Ella Graves followed Harvey York while they walked down the street, she felt like her head was spinning constantly.Too much was happening that day, she could not react to everything properly.She did not know which expression to show Harvey that was walking beside her.‘What is this man actually capable of? He could do almost everything!’Harvey did not care much about what had happened. He ate dinner with Ella and then returned home.***Harvey had just gotten home while bumping into Mandy Zimmer and her mother rushing out. Lilian Yates’ face turned furious after seeing Harvey. She immediately scolded Harvey, “Where have you been at this late hour?!”Harvey replied, “I went to dinner with a friend.”“Eat eat eat, all you’ve known to do is to eat! Do you even realize that your father is back?!” Lilian scolded at him again.“He’s already at the Zimmer Villa! Hurry, don’t let him wait for long!”Harvey froze, were they talking about his own father?He came back to his senses
“Oh? A way to let the Zimmers be a part of Simon Zimmer’s good project and resources?”Senior Zimmer’s eyes lit up.“Let’s hear it!”The other members of the Zimmer family too held their breaths and listened closely.Being a second-class family in the provincial capital would definitely make the Zimmers increase their wealth tenfold. That also meant that they would be swimming in money.At that moment, nobody wanted to undermine Simon’s plans. Everyone was making a face full of excitement.Simon laughed.“Dad, have you heard of the Silva family in South Light?”Senior Zimmer fretted.“Simon, you mean one of the first-class families in all of South Light, that Silva family?”“Right! That’s them!”Simon Zimmer was acting proud.“Legends say that the Silva family were the king’s royal relatives during the old times, the true Lord Kye Silva!”“After the war, they set foot on South Light and had the surname Silva!”“The family is not as deep-rooted as the Yorks.”“But, the fa
‘What?’‘Is this even real?’Everyone scoffed at this idea, how fake could this even get?Were the Silvas idiots to even sign a contract like this?Simon Zimmer looked at the faces of everyone full of distrust and smiled. Then, he pulled out an exquisite folder out of his briefcase and threw it on a table.“Here, take a look.”Everyone surrounded the table and closely inspected the contents.The contract indeed had specified what Simon had said, a newly planned area in Buckwood would be given ten acres for the Zimmer family to operate in.A shopping centre aside, a few residential buildings were also included in the land. Every inch of the new area in Buckwood was worth tons of gold.If the Zimmer family could manage the project with ten acres of the land, their net worth would increase tenfold!The contract had specified as well that this collaboration would give the Zimmer family fifty one percent of all the shares and appointed to take charge in said project. If they wou
“That’s right, grandfather. This is a huge matter, you have to think carefully. If you make one wrong move, you’ll lose everything. It seemed like we’ll get tons of benefits as said in this contract, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch!”“Buckwood is a place where vicious and greedy people gather. Who knows how many first-class families from prefecture-level cities tried to make a living there, then came back as dead as a dodo? What capabilities do we even have to survive in Buckwood?”“Once we go all in and there’s no way to go back and we failed, the whole family would be in shambles!”Zack Zimmer was the first one to oppose Simon Zimmer’s idea with a vigilant expression on his face. If this plan did go through, his position of vice CEO in the family would be like a fart in the wind. He would never allow this.“Grandfather, I am the vice CEO in the family, I have to think of the family’s safety. These things should not be decided just because someone brought a project home.
“Young Master Leon Silva is about to be my son-in-law, do you really think that he would still plot against his own father-in-law?” Simon Zimmer righteously said.“Heh, son-in-law?” Quinn Zimmer tossed her hair back, with a face full of sarcasm.“My dearest uncle, look at your daughter and see if she wants to divorce that live-in son-in-law first! I’m afraid your dreams will be shattered soon after, and you won’t be able to take it!”“You…”Simon was boiling with anger to the point where he could not speak properly.“Enough! Everyone’s family here, stop fighting!” Senior Zimmer slammed his hand on the table, face full of discontent.“Making a ruckus in the middle of the night, do we not have order here?!”“Simon, I’ll ask you again, is it true that the Silvas want to arrange a marriage with the Zimmers?” Senior Zimmer said while pondering about the situation.Simon clapped his chest and said, “Definitely. Of course it’s real, no way it’s fake!”“Did the Silvas specify who
After exchanging an eye signal with Quinn Zimmer, Zack Zimmer stood up with a strict expression.“Grandfather, I think we should try it out if the Silvas are actually willing to arrange a marriage with our family.”He had thoroughly thought about it. If Quinn were to marry someone from the Silvas, the family could stand firm in Buckwood.If that were to happen, he could use the collaboration with the Naiswells to get closer to Rosalie Naiswell and become their family’s son-in-law!With the Silvas’ and the Naiswells’ support, who would dare to even oppose the Zimmers?Quinn had come back to her senses with a face full of excitement.“Grandfather, if my husband’s family would like to collaborate with ours, how could we possibly give up on this opportunity?!”Quinn Zimmer was opposing the idea with a face full of righteousness just before, it showed how quickly she could turn against someone faster than turning a page of a book.She was selected to have a marriage with the young m
The Zimmer family meeting had ended before Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and Lilian Yates even arrived. If Harvey were present, he would’ve stopped the collaboration immediately.He knew what kind of family that the Silvas were. All those years, people that had worked with them had their blood sucked dry by the Silvas.***When Harvey and the others arrived at the main hall of the Zimmer Villa, only Simon Zimmer with a face as dark as night had remained.“Dad…”“Father…”“Hey old man, didn’t you say that there was a family meeting? Why are you the only one here? You were about to announce something, right? What’s up?”Lilian had dressed up gorgeously at that moment. She heard in her husband’s tone that he had succeeded in Buckwood, that was why she wanted to show her best and spent more time doing makeup.A shame that she had arrived late.Simon’s face was as pale as snow. He tilted his head up slowly like a beast and glared at Lilian coldly, then shifted his gaze toward Mandy.
Niumhi at night was very deserted.Harvey York did not drive his Porsche when he was driven out. Hence, he could only find a shared EV and rode it.This was because it was past ten o'clock in the evening, there was no one at the company, not even the security guards.Harvey searched his whole body and found that he had not brought any cash with him. Reluctantly, he could only call Wendy Sorrell.He could not call Yvonne Xavier because she was still recovering from her injuries. Thus, it was not a good time to call to disturb her recuperation.On the other end of the phone, Wendy was putting on makeup in the apartment. She quickly stood up when she received the call. She still spoke respectfully even though she was talking over the phone, “CEO, why are you calling at this hour of the night?”Harvey was also a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he still said, “I have no place to stay tonight. Can you arrange a place for me?”Wendy was stunned for a moment. Her face f
