What?! A hundred and fifty million dollars?!At Yvonne Xavier’s light tone, every single one of the Zimmerswas shocked once again and began to shudder.York Enterprise was indeed extremely well off!The Zimmers couldn’t sleep for nights out of sheer panic regarding the one hundred and fifty million dollars.And now?The Yorks could easily produce that much money, as if they couldn’t care less about the amount!Even if the Zimmers sold their entire businesses and properties, it could only amount to a hundred and fifty million dollars at most. Perhaps even less!Still in shock, their gazes on Yvonne became more heated and desperate.With that amount, the Zimmers wouldn’t need to sell off their properties or projects anymore in order to move to Buckwood.Senior Zimmer wouldn't have to worry about anything. At the same time, he could preserve their business in Niumhi City!Senior Zimmer was so exhilarated, he almost got a stroke right there and then.The rest of the Zimmers we
Without pausing to let senior Zimmer finish his sentence, Yvonne Xavier cut him off. “CEO Zimmer, they say curiosity kills a cat…”“For now, you should focus on the matter at hand. Time is gold, and I can only let you consider this for five minutes.”“You should discuss what you want to do. I’ll be back after five minutes.”With that, Yvonne turned around and left to give space for the Zimmers to mull over her words.Senior Zimmer’s face was dark.Right now, the Zimmers really didn’t have any other choice left.They could only pick between compensating four hundred and fifty million dollars and a piece of land, or losing their power over the whole family business.No matter which path they took, the choices were extremely difficult. Right then, Quinn Zimmer spoke up coldly, “Mandy, we don’t know what kind of relationship you have with York Enterprise’s CEO, but do you really have the heart to see our family perish?”“Yeah! Mandy, how could you be so cold-blooded?”“Mandy, th
Even though York Enterprise’s condition was quite unacceptable to most, at the very least, it could give the Zimmers a bit of time to relax.In fact, having the support of the York Enterprise would guarantee the Zimmers a good future in Buckwood.They shall only think about how to get their shares back after a while. Right now, the most important thing was to get through this hardship.When the Zimmers heard Senior Zimmer’s words, however, they burst into panic.“Grandpa, we can’t do this!”“That’s right! If we accept, we’ll lose the rights to speak on behalf of our family business!”“Grandpa!”“We’ll think of something else!”Right then, all of the Zimmers spoke up urgently.No matter how helpful the Yorks’ dominance would be for the Zimmers’ business development, the absence of fifty-one percent of shares would place the Zimmers firmly as subordinates under York Enterprise.“Enough! Silence, all of you!”Senior Zimmer bellowed, rising to glance around the room.“The decis
“Him?” Senior Zimmer snorted. He spoke on without pausing a single beat. “A live-in son-in-law like him obviously doesn’t deserve a chance! Moving to Buckwood is an important matter!”“But Simon’s definitely come along, and so will Mandy. Harvey York, I feel so bad for you!” Zack Zimmer spoke to Harvey in a mocking tone. “Your wife and her whole family are moving to Buckwood, leaving you all alone here in Niumhi City. Will you starve to death by yourself?” Looking at how Zack Zimmer was proud of himself, Harvey felt speechless.A dimwit like Zack wouldn’t understand that Harvey could’ve returned to Buckwood whenever he liked.Before Mandy could speak up for Harvey, Quinn Zimmer suddenly stood up and yelled, “No! Harvey York must go to Buckwood as well!”The entire Zimmer family stared at Quinn in disbelief. Was she out of her mind? She’s actually standing up for Harvey York!Quinn didn’t try to hide her intentions and added coldly, “Since Mandy has to go to Buckwood, this douche
Half a month later, in Buckwood.Today, the Buckwood airport was crowded with people. Esteemed families and enterprises had all arranged for their important executives to wait here as soon as they received the news.There were even securities armed with guns and bullets patrolling around key areas to prevent any mishaps from occurring.For the past half month, there had been rumours that a hotshot who visited Buckwood three years ago would be returning with power!The upper-class families of Buckwood found out about this matter earlier than most. Right now many were waiting for the arrival of this famous and enigmatic man, eager to catch a glimpse of him.Rumours had it that this legendary man had ultimate control over Buckwood three years ago. Yet at the peak of his power, he suddenly vanished into thin air. No one knew what happened after that.Some said that he died. There were also those who said he got backstabbed by his own family. Others believed that he had angered anothe
After some thought, Simon Zimmer said, “Old man, the Silvas have arranged a welcome dinner for us Zimmers to celebrate our first time coming to Buckwood. It’s rumoured that they have also invited a number of hotshots.”“Why don’t we send an invitation to this powerful man as well? It has to be a work of fate and luck for us to exit the VIP lounge with him on the same day. Who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky again this time.”Senior Zimmer grew ecstatic. “We can try.” If they could meet this man during their welcome dinner, the Zimmers would most definitely be considered powerful enough when they establish their entrance in Buckwood!It would certainly bring the Zimmers great opportunities, as well as a boost in status.Behind the crowd, Mandy Zimmer wasn’t bothered by the noises in front of them. She glanced backward worriedly and then murmured softly, “Mom, I’m going to walk to the back and check where Harvey is. He hasn’t come out yet…”“What?” Lilian Yates glared at her. “This i
It would be unthinkable for Harvey York to travel all the way back to Buckwood on an economy class flight. Instead, he booked an entire plane for himself.He couldn’t be certain if this had something to do with the York family, but the news that he was returning to Buckwood had been leaked by some secret sources.A gigantic crowd had actually formed at the airport, waiting just for him.Harvey didn’t rush to the exit and asked Yvonne Xavier, “Yvonne, have you checked about this matter?”Yvonne came to Buckwood a few days prior to arrange everything. She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, “CEO, your travels were a tightly kept secret between us. I wasn’t able to find out which sources leaked the news.”“But when your flight landed, Miss Queenie York sent me a text.”Harvey stiffened. “What did she say?” Queenie was the adopted daughter of the York family, but her status in the family was high enough that she played a vital role in what had happened the year Harvey was kicked out
Brent Silva initially had no interest in hosting this pointless banquet.If it weren’t for the fact that his family had forced this task on him, he wouldn’t have come.Yet at this moment, he felt he had committed to the right choice.Brent was a typical phony. While he fancied both sisters, Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, he did not act like a greasy man. Rather, he put on a personable facade. He raised his glass to Mandy, whose face was red. He said, “Senior Zimmer, let me congratulate the Zimmer family on behalf of the Silvas tonight!”“The Zimmer family is the best of the best. Now, you are the leading figure in the business community in Buckwood. You’ll be part of Buckwood’s noble circle in the near future. Here’s to you, Senior Zimmer.”Senior Zimmer was so excited that his hands shook.Brent was from the Silva family!Not only did the Silvas hold a welcome dinner for the Zimmer family, Brent Silva also personally toasted to him. This was an incredible privilege.“It’s my hono
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
