“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
Zack Zimmer was the first to stand up, then pointed at Harvey York while laughing at him coldly.“You worthless sack of trash, us Zimmers are talking about big things with regards to the family. What right do you have just barging in like this? If you leaked our family secret, who’s going to take responsibility for this?”Mandy Zimmer glared at Zack.“Don’t be excessive, Zack. Harvey’s a part of us too.”Zack chuckled.“Oh, Mandy, you’re so naive. You think he’s a part of us because grandfather won’t let him divorce you?”“You think him being a pet for the Naiswells and bringing a project back for us gives him a standing in the family?”“Let me tell you, the family’s different from what it was before. We’re only giving face to the Naiswells for now. If not, we wouldn’t even be doing the so-called project!”Zack then looked at Senior Zimmer.“Grandfather, I say we remove Mandy from her position and prevent her from participating in any other events that involve the Zimmer famil
Harvey York was about to go on with his speech.Zack Zimmer could not hold his anger in. He slammed his hand onto the table and scolded Harvey harshly while pointing at him, “Who do you think you are?! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to question the decision that my grandfather already made?!”Harvey coldly looked at Zack.“Zack, how foolish could you possibly be? I’m reminding you, before you make decisions like this, check the contract that you signed first!”“The York Enterprise isn’t just some random company on the streets. You think you can just get investments from them willy-nilly? Sell whatever projects you want to sell? You truly believe that when you have support from the Silvas, you could do whatever you please in front of the Yorks?”“You didn’t even get things straight yet, and you’re already making rash decisions and rushing things! I don’t understand how some filth like you could be the vice CEO of the Zimmer family.”“Screw you!”Zack was enrag
A slender figure walked in the hall.Yvonne Xavier.She was not wearing makeup, with jeans and a white shirt paired with glasses with a black frame and a ponytail.Even so, she appeared to be enchanting and alluring. Purity and desire exuded from her body. Everyone’s gazes were glued onto her.As soon as Yvonne showed up, the hall was immediately silent. While everyone was shocked, they could all guess what had happened.Maybe Yvonne was representing York Enterprise to criticize them?At the same time, a lot of men’s eyes lit up when they stared at Yvonne.She was indeed a stunner, too beautiful, her figure oh-so alluring.If it were before, the Zimmer family would not dare to even look at her.But that day was different; they were about to be a big family in Buckwood. They thought that they might have a chance to even get a woman like her.Zack Zimmer had shown an expression that was the most heinous. He had already thought about it. When he settled everything he needed to
Senior Zimmer’s face had turned slightly darker when he looked at Yvonne Xavier.“Ms. Xavier, what… do you mean?”Yvonne chuckled, then stared at Zack Zimmer that was standing near them.Zack trembled upon the sight; his face immediately turned ugly.“I thought CEO Zimmer, you said that you read the contract closely, apparently not. I’m afraid the contract you’ve read was the one that was modified.”“Since CEO Zimmer did not know about the exact details of the contract. I brought with me today Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association to talk to you about the details and consequences of breaching the contract.”Yvonne clapped her hands lightly.After a moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the hall with his briefcase.Senior Zimmer’s mind was blown immediately after seeing the man.This was Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association. He had a high status.For ordinary families and companies to meet him was almost an impossible task. He acted noble and virtu
‘What?’‘Not only that, York Enterprise owns the land, and we have to pay them back four hundred and fifty-six million dollars as compensation?’Everyone was shocked after hearing it. The sight of the Zimmers looking at Chairman Hawkins had all turned sluggish.“Impossible! How could this be?! I took a look at the contract a few days ago! Not like this! Zack, bring the contract to me!”Senior Zimmer was sweating profusely. If he had known about the contract details, how would he even think about selling off the Commercial Center Project?“Grandfather…”Zack Zimmer was showing a face full of guilt. He did show Senior Zimmer the contract, but it was a fabricated one, not the one that Mandy Zimmer signed previously.He really wanted to go to Buckwood because the project in Buckwood was already destined to fall into his hands.He had enough of the feeling of being chained up by Mandy in Niumhi. He wanted to show his capabilities and prove himself in Buckwood!So he fabricated the
Senior Zimmer stared at Chairman Hawkins leave the hall blankly, then his sight started to dim. He fell onto his iron throne, his expression constantly changing.“What are we going to do?”“Even if the family sells all of our assets, I don’t think we’ll get four hundred and fifty-six million, right?”“Speaking of which, why was the contract a fake? What’s going on?”“...”The Zimmer family was gossiping. Their sight landed upon Zack Zimmer with their faces full of anger.If the Zimmer family were to go bankrupt and ended up begging for food on the streets, Zack would be to blame for everything!Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, barely hanging on to his sanity. His finger pointed at Zack while trembling.“Zack… Tell me… You… You… Why did you do this?!”“Do you not realize that you would be ruining the whole family?!”Zack opened his mouth but could not bring himself to say anything.This was the true definition of might making right!At that moment, Zack could not think of a
“What do you mean shameless?! Don’t just spout out nonsense. Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you shut up! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to say anything you want here anyway?!” Quinn Zimmer said with a peculiar tone.Harvey York coldly said, “Since you have the capabilities to make up an excuse like this, why are you even afraid of being bad-mouthed by other people? Who was it that was crying and shouting at my wife to snag the contract when nobody could?!”“And now you forged a fake contract to deceive yourself and others, making a huge mistake, then you decide to shift blame!”“Can the two of you be any less shameless? You think grandfather is an idiot to believe something like this? Or do you think that he has Alzheimer’s and he would believe whatever you say?”Senior Zimmer was sitting on his seat while his eyes twitched.‘Screw you! Of course, I believe him! He’s my grandson! Why wouldn’t I?!’The problem was that the live-in son-in-law had already
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
