Mandy Zimmer had been reading up on some material for the whole night without uttering a word until the next morning.Even until the next night, Mandy did not complain, nor did she droop her face the whole time.The time of the banquet drew closer.Mandy could not sit still anymore and then stood up.“Harvey York, I trust you to the point I hinge all my bets on you.”“But how are you supposed to let me trust you?“Do you even have an invitation card?“I thought you had ideas to get at least a few.“You’ve been sleeping since last night!“You didn’t even walk out the front door, nor did you make a single phone call!“Let me ask you this, where are you even planning to get the invitation cards? Are they going to just fall out of the sky?”At that moment, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were already knocking on the door impatiently.“Harvey, what is going on?”“What did you even prepare?“Mandy had already talked big yesterday. If you can’t fulfill your promise, we won’t have
Senior Zimmer sighed.“I thought you’d at least have grown a little after a dozen years or so in Buckwood!“I did not think that you are as foolish as you were. I’m truly embarrassed to have a son like you!“I’d never think that you and your son-in-law are the same worthless sacks of trash!“The whole family, worthless sacks of trash!”“Pfft hahaha…”All the people from the Zimmer family present were laughing their heads off.Gazes of ridicule were directed toward Simon Zimmer.Simon wanted to find a hole on the road to stick his head in at that moment. He truly hated Harvey York.At that moment, he had thrown away his remaining dignity in front of the whole Zimmer family.Mandy Zimmer was looking at Harvey, disappointed.Simon and his family would not be able to show their faces anywhere anymore.As for Mandy and Harvey, they would have to break all ties between each other as well.“You dare to attend the evening banquet without invitation cards?“You’re joking.“Let me
But when Zack Zimmer thought about Harvey York standing not far from him, he could not falter. He was grinding on his teeth and quietly said, “Why don’t you try and touch me? Do you even know who I am?“The Zimmer family were the ones that invited Prince York to the banquet. He promised to come!“Would you dare cross the Zimmers like this? You’re just a bodyguard…”Slap!The person that looked like the captain hit Zack backhanded across his face and immediately made him unconscious.“If you don’t leave right now, don’t blame me for what happens next,” the captain said coldly.The Zimmers were trembling in their boots. They pulled Zack away, prepared to make a run for it.Not far away, Simon Zimmer saw that and felt strangely invigorated.“Harvey, you were right. They couldn’t get in.”Harvey smiled and held onto Mandy Zimmer’s hand.“Dad, mom. We should get in.”“Don’t! Are you not afraid of dying? Even the invitation cards from the Silvas aren’t enough to let the others in.
Simon Zimmer, Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer…They were all transfixed, unsure of how to feel about this.Not only did the personal bodyguards not check for their invitations, they even respectfully let them in into the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard?And the people waiting to make fun of them, including Zack Zimmer, were frozen.“How… Did they get in? How… Could this be possible?”Senior Zimmer was sluggish. He could not believe what he saw.Simon and Lilian looked back with faces full of content.They were rejoicing. Whatever it was that happened, they had already gotten in.Simon had stayed in Buckwood for many years. He knew how hard it was to even come here. He felt like he was dreaming at that moment.“It was that easy? My good son-in-law, how did you do it?”He even changed his pronouns at that moment.Before, Harvey York was only filth, a worthless sack of trash, junk of a person.But he called him his good son-in-law.They thought that the son-in-la
Simon Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers’ faces turned as dark as night.They believed Brent Silva was able to do as he said.It would be a simple matter for him, what with the Silva family supporting him.One word from him, and the Zimmer family could get thrown out immediately.Mandy Zimmer shot Brent Silva a frown.“Mr. Silva, there have been no problems between us until this point. What do you want?”Brent Silva laughed and approached Mandy Zimmer, and then whispered into her ear with a low tone that only both of them could hear.“It should be an honor for you to have someone like me to come to you. Yet you chose not to divorce this filth?”“Mr. Silva, you’re shaming me!”“As long as you and your sister promise to spend the night with me, I won’t give you too much trouble. How’s that sound?”“I’ll even give you two a project to work on. Deal?”“You… You’re shameless!”How could Mandy Zimmer even accept an offer like that?With her pride, she would not give in, even if
“Get your invitations out already!” Brent Silva shouted, his tone aggressive.“We don’t need it.” Harvey York replied calmly.“Hahaha! Captain, did you hear that? They don’t even have one! He even said that they don’t need one!”Brent Silva laughed his heart out.“This live-in son-in-law does seem suspicious. Maybe he came in by climbing over the wall!”The captain however was still skeptical, and something seemed off to him.Yet because of his duty, he immediately let out an order to his subordinates.“Take these people to the security room. Find out what their deal is, then decide what to do with them!”Simon Zimmer and his family were frightened and horrified.If they were interrogated, they’d definitely be forced out of the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard!The rest of the Zimmer family might still be waiting outside.How embarrassing would that be for him and his family if they got kicked out just like that?Were that to happen, they wouldn’t know what to do.“Wait! Sist
The bodyguard captain was also looking at Harvey York with disdain. However, he understood that if he wanted to climb the ranks in the York family, he shouldn’t be too rash.He sized Harvey York up and calmly replied, “Alright! Let’s see if Manager York really does know you, live-in son-in-law!”Brent Silva was ecstatic.‘Looks like the next part of this play is going to get even more exciting!’A crowd now gathered around all of them. Simon Zimmer and his family all hung their heads down in shame.Embarrassing!Truly embarrassing!The captain swiftly sent Manager York a text.The next moment, his phone immediately rang.After hearing what the person said on the other side of the phone, the captain’s face immediately changed.His gaze fell on Harvey York, this time filled with fear.Even his knees began to grow weak.He couldn’t believe he was trying to cause trouble to the legendary…“I understand… Manager York… I understand…”The captain was trembling as he spoke.Br
“It’s simple.”“We might not have any invitations, but we came in through the security check.”“Since we got in, that means that there are no suspicions about our identity.”“Clearly, Brent Silva was the one causing all the commotion and disrupting the banquet.”“You all saw the crowd that gathered her just now, right? How terrible must that have been?”“I don’t know who this Prince York is, but I think he won’t like people disrupting his banquet.”“Not just Brent Silva. I assume even Leon Silva would get thrown out like that if he caused trouble here.” Harvey York said naturally.Simon Zimmer nodded in agreement.“That must be it. I did hear before that the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard has a lot of rules.”“In this place, nobody would care about your identity if you could get in legally.”“But if you cause a ruckus in here, you’d be thrown out immediately regardless of your status!”“I see, no wonder the invitations are so expensive!” Lilian Yates said with a thoughtful ex
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"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
