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
“That’s right, I heard a very important person had come to Buckwood. He arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Zimmer family is truly lucky, maybe all of you arrived at the same time as him!”“It’s said that the heirs of the first class families such as the Naiswells and the Cloudes are all here to see that big shot. Unfortunately, they aren’t qualified enough!”“What’s this?! I saw Queenie York of the Yorks there as well. She seemed to have been waiting at the airport for several hours. In the end, she was unfortunate and wasn’t able to meet him.”“By any chance, did you Zimmers get to see him?”Senior Zimmer remained silent.Then, he nodded and smiled at the crowd’s discussion. “Everyone. After we learned about him, our family sent him an invitation here. We’re not sure if he would come to our banquet.”“It should be impossible. How could such a big shot come to this kind of banquet?”“It’s someone that even the Yorks couldn’t meet!”No one believed him.Senior Zimmer
Immediately, the Zimmers started making weird expressions. Lilian Yates gritted her teeth. “I’ve forgotten that this useless b*stard hasn’t appeared yet!” Didn’t this live-in son-in-law understand his place?Didn’t he realize what kind of occasion this is? How could he have dared stepping inside?On top of that, he came in so boldly!Damn it!Lilian couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Simon Zimmer.Had it not been for his cowardice in Niumhi, she would’ve long driven this live-in son-in-law out!Did he not see that Brent Silva has fallen in love with their daughter?That was such a great opportunity!Yet, everything was ruined by this wimp!As for Simon, his gaze turned gloomy.In Niumhi, Senior Zimmer had the final say. However, that was not the case in Buckwood.He must let this wimp go!Harvey York ignored the strange gazes from the crowd and walked up to Senior Zimmer.“Congratulations, Senior Zimmer. The Zimmer family has officially set foot in Buckwood today
“Is this the live-in son-in-law? Look at how the Zimmers treat him! He doesn’t have any worth at all!”“His clothes are too shabby. I bet he doesn’t have much money.”“For a poor sap like him, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is enough to live for a long time. I’m sure he’ll agree to it.”“But the Zimmer family is certainly interesting. To think they came up with this kind of event to entertain everyone, hahaha…”Harvey York was speechless.The crowd was talking and looking at Harvey with a gleeful look.Everyone was anticipating whether this live-in son-in-law would kneel or not.Zack Zimmer shouted fiercely, “Kneel and grovel to me!”Things were different now.Now, Zack had several great people backing him.He believed that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, wouldn’t dare to mess with him this time.Harvey stared at Zack wordlessly. In his eyes, there was only coldness.“Kneel!”Zack pressed Harvey’s shoulder with one hand, forcing Harvey to kneel.Unfortunately, Har
Sean Zimmer replied with a puzzled look, “He should have already arrived by now. I’ll call his secretary and ask.”Soon, Sean's face became ashen and he hung up the phone. He said, “Father, the big shot had already come. He’d just left.” “What? Has he been here?”“The big shot said that the Zimmer family is too stupid…”“I understand! He must have seen that idiot Harvey making trouble when he arrived. That’s why he left angrily!”“It must be because the Zimmer family doesn’t respect him!”Senior Zimmer yelled, “Harvey, you’re a useless b*stard. You must die!”Everyone in the banquet reacted to Senior Zimmer’s outburst.The Zimmer family’s live-in son-in-law, Harvey had angered the big shot!His action was ruining the Zimmer family’s fortune!Harvey was the sinner of the Zimmer family!Right now, the Zimmers were all gritting their teeth, wishing to devour Harvey whole.Senior Zimmer turned around and looked at Simon. He said viciously, “I agree! Divorce him!”“Let Mandy d
Simon Zimmer sneered, “Harvey York, it’s not that I want to talk about you. Think about it. What were you in Niumhi in the past years?“Trash! Loser! Rubbish! That’s how people describe you!“Protecting Mandy? Protecting the Zimmer family even?!“How will you protect us?“Using your mouth?!”Lilian Yates also sneered, “To rely on this bragging mouth of yours? Harvey! I beg of you, there’s a limit to bragging!”Harvey smiled. “Father, mother, the situation now is different from that in Niumhi.”“I have to lay low in Niumhi.“But now I’m back here in Buckwood. The king is back!”Even Mandy Zimmer could not listen to this anymore this time.She glared at Harvey and said, “Harvey! Can you be more realistic?“The king is back?!“Even if you’re competent, you still have to work hard and make a little progress!“I thought you have changed these days, and yet, you’re still like this.“Can you get rid of this boastful nature of yours?“Can’t you make it a little easier for me?”
“Shut up! I don’t want to listen to these unrealistic fantasies!“Harvey, how old are you? Do you think you’re still a three-year-old kid?“Can’t we be more realistic?“Even if you have nothing, as long as you take one step at a time, I believe you can!”Mandy Zimmer sighed.Harvey York opened his mouth but did not know what to say.At this time, Mandy would not believe anything that he said.Mandy then took out a suit from the closet. “I bought this for you. Put it on tomorrow and go to the family banquet.“I will beg Grandfather and let him give you another chance!“But you must remember that you can’t go crazy like today, okay?”Harvey sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”He also felt helpless after saying this.In Niumhi, he did say that he was the CEO of York Enterprise, but Mandy refused to believe him.Now that he had come to Buckwood, he said that he would protect the Zimmer family, Mandy still did not believe in him.It was not just Mandy who did not beli
"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
