In the villa, Ella Graves tried her best to resist Jensen Carlson.However, she was still a girl after all. She did not have much strength. Her phone was snatched by Jensen after a while.Fortunately, Jensen’s thoughts were mostly on Harvey York at the moment. Hence, he did not touch her for the time being.After unlocking the phone, Jensen took a photo of Ella using the phone camera. He then used her phone to send a message to Harvey.“Ella is with me. Come by yourself. Otherwise, she will have to die!”After that, Jensen sent a location to Harvey. He then found a baseball bat, sat on the sofa, and began to gasp.His plan was very simple. He just wanted to use Ella as a hostage and force Harvey to comply with his orders to bring him back to the provincial town.His job was done as long as he brought Harvey to Quinton York. Then, he could continue to enjoy his glory and wealth.***In Yvonne Xavier’s apartment, Harvey had just finished showering and was preparing to lie down.
Harvey York walked toward the door of the villa with a mocking expression.In the living room of the villa, Ella Graves watched this scene, not knowing what expression she should show.Such a scene had always only appeared in movies and dramas. She never thought Harvey would do this for her today.The initially locked door began to creak open, and Harvey walked in.Clang, clang…The baseball bat in Jensen Carlson’s hand lightly hit the ground. He then lifted it and pointed in the direction where Harvey was.“I’m here. Let her go!” Harvey said coldly.“Who said that I have to let her go once you’re here?”“Harvey, haven’t you figured out the situation? Now I have the final say.”Jensen looked at Harvey with a cold face.He could understand why this guy in front of him was worthy of Quinton York’s attention.He had already found out tonight that Harvey was just the live-in son-in-law of a second-class family in Niumhi.How did such a person catch the Yorks’ attention?“Then,
“Of course I’m not.” Harvey York laughed. “But the people behind you let trash like you come to test me. Isn’t he looking down on me?”“Do you know who’s behind me?” Jensen Carlson gasped.“Among the Famous Four of the Yorks, the most headstrong one is Quinton. He is also the one who fears me the most. If I guess it correctly, he’s the one that sent you here.” Harvey said faintly.Jensen’s right hand shook fiercely. Who was this person in front of him? Why could he guess everything correctly?Moreover, he could sense a great tolerance in Harvey.Even Quinton York never possessed this kind of tolerance.He seemed to have provoked someone who should not be offended.A person that even Quinton York only dared to test from afar, but not directly confronting him. He broke out in a cold sweat at this moment which instantly wetted his back. Jensen even had an intuition at this moment.If he offended Quinton, the Carlsons would only go bankrupt at best. If he offended this person i
In Buckwood at Silver Nimbus Courtyard.This was the monthly meeting of the Yorks.At the end of each month, the people who were sent to various parts of South Light Province would come and gather outside the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.Although Silver Nimbus Courtyard was known as a courtyard, it was the place where only the trueborn heirs of the Yorks could live daily. Other relatives who wanted to enter this place on any given day had to go through a series of applications and approvals.People with insufficient status and less influence were not even qualified to enter this place.There were many luxury cars at the parking lot next to the courtyard at this moment.However, all of them were Lexus which were made in Japan.This was a very low-key and somewhat cultured brand. They were initially unfit for making cars for top families such as the Yorks.Nonetheless, the Yorks’ ancestral motto was as the saying goes “the moon waxes only to wane, and water surges only to overflow”
Chief Carlson acted as if he had heard the holy decree. At this moment, he sighed and said, “Yes, yes. The second young master is kind to the Carlsons. It’s our fortune. However, we will often remember his kindness and will always remain loyal to him. We won’t make it difficult for the second young master…”Chief Carlson was trembling all over as soon as he finished his words.In the next moment, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He then slowly collapsed to the ground, breathless.Apparently, he had swallowed the poison before he came here.As the chief of the medical family, he did a great job in controlling the dose of the poison.Manager York slightly frowned and said indifferently, “Come and send this body back to the Carlsons for a proper burial.”“Also, let the Carlsons choose a new chief themselves.”Manager York turned and left after speaking.The second young master always gave credit where credit was due. However, the Carlsons had failed to complete the task
Quinton York raised his hand and looked at the palm of his left hand. The fate line and the career line crisscrossed and were densely packed like a chessboard.Although he seemed to have seen his destiny from above, Quinton still smiled and said, “I know that that person has helped many of you back then. In the past three years, even if you have transferred to my sect, only you know what you are thinking…”“You know how I have treated you. The things that he can give you, I can give you even more…”“If someone still wants to help him at this moment, then I will give you a chance to tell me now. I won’t pursue you and will let you leave…”“Please think carefully. Everyone has played a part in driving him away three years ago…”The last sentence struck them like thunder. Those who were initially hesitating had finally made up their mind at this moment.Someone unconsciously kneeled on the ground and hissed, “We’ll serve you loyally, Second Young Master. We always have and we always
“Don’t think I don’t know. You’re only afraid of the land that the commercial center is on being sold and losing all your standing in the Zimmer family!”“But have you thought about this thoroughly? The Zimmers are about to expand in Buckwood!”“When I have my family-in-law, the Silvas’ support, the Zimmers will flourish!”“If you stay obedient, I’ll feed you a little bit while we feast like kings. Rest assured...”Quinn Zimmer hugged her arms tightly, intentionally showing her chest curve while making a pompous look.“Yeah! Your father brought up the idea. You’re not going to oppose him and to interrupt our plans to expand in Buckwood, are you?”“If it weren’t for your father, we wouldn’t even need to study how to sell our assets!”“Right, it’s all because of you and your family. Can’t believe you’re still acting like the victim even though you’re the ones having the most benefits!”“If you ask me, we wouldn’t need to sell all of our assets, but Mandy’s project for the commerc
“Grandfather.”Mandy Zimmer did not even bat an eye at Zack Zimmer, but instead looked at Senior Zimmer with pleading eyes.“Grandfather, we had already poured our soul into our Commercial Center Project. It’s not worth abandoning it!”“Why don’t you give me a chance to try. If I can’t get any loans, then you can think of selling the project off.”Senior Zimmer was swayed a little by Mandy when he looked at her.Zack slammed his hand on the table and scolded her, “Mandy, do you even know your place?!”“To put it bluntly, you’re only the Zimmers company’s financial manager and the person in charge of the Commercial Center Project!”“My grandfather and I have the company’s operation under control. When did you have the permission to butt in?!”“Your father even urged us to expedite the plan!”“We’ve already had meetings to sell off our assets. If you butt in right now, who knows what’ll happen if you scare off all the clients?”“What if the project doesn’t help us pay off the i
