At Senior Zimmer’s order, one of the Zimmers stood up proudly and blocked those rich heirs with a smug grin. “Gentlemen, this is a private property. You can’t simply trespass here.”“Zimmers? As in, the Zimmers from Niumhi?”A buff rich heir spoke up coldly.This Zimmer didn’t sense anything wrong and continued grinning. “That’s right! We’re the Zimmers from Niumhi, and we’re under Sky Corporation. If you want to meet our CEO, you need to make a reservation first. Today I don’t think…”Slap!Before he could end his sentence, the rich heir slapped him hard across the face. He was utterly dumbfounded.The rich heir continued, “What a family! Insignificant outsiders like you people dare to call yourselves a new rich family in Buckwood in front of us? Hah!”His acquaintances who were standing behind him let out mocking sneers.Despite the fact they were now facing bankruptcy, in the past they were feared by many.It was obvious they came here to make trouble and besmirch the Zimme
Senior Zimmer’s face darkened instantly.He was the Zimmers’ CEO. His company had Sky Corporation’s backing and was on good terms with the Silvas. Not to mention, the Zimmers once collaborated with the distinguished Naiswells.No matter how one looked at it, the Zimmers clearly had a high enough status.And yet, Craig Long literally smashed a cup right in front of him. What’s the meaning of this?Senior Zimmer was a bit taken aback, but he inhaled deeply and said slowly, “Mr. Long, correct? We Zimmers always treat everyone genuinely. If you came with good intentions, we will welcome you with the utmost kindness and respect.”“But seeing your actions, it’d be best for us to send you out, no?”“Send us out?” Craig sniggered. “We’re not done yet. If you don’t give us a good explanation, I can assure you, we won’t let you Zimmers survive in Buckwood!”“We’ll make you understand the consequences of offending people like us!”The others chortled along.“A family as insignificant as
Craig Long replied coldly, “Well then, allow me to begin!”“I don’t know what your family’s Mandy Zimmer did to take your business out of bankruptcy.”“It may be due to her skills, but as I’ve said before, we have our own rules and conventions in Buckwood’s commercial world. Without them, nothing can proceed smoothly.”“Her doing this makes you Zimmers the enemies of all the elites and royalties of Buckwood!”The Zimmers took in all of this with stunned realization.Quinn was the first to react. She stood up angrily and exclaimed passionately, “Grandpa! I always thought something wasn’t right! How could Mandy solve all of our problems the moment she shows up? It doesn’t make sense!”“She must’ve resorted to dirty tricks!”“We Zimmers are righteous and upright folk. How can we tolerate someone like her in our midst?”“The way Mandy works violates the basic rules of Buckwood’s business industry. Instead of saving our family, she’s bringing harm to all of us!”“Grandpa! I suggest
Senior Zimmer was patient as he explained his thoughts to the rest.Craig Long furrowed his eyebrows lightly, and then snuck a quick glance at Zack.Zack shot him a discreet glance in reply, before turning to his grandfather to speak. “Grandpa, you can’t do that! Mandy’s going to think I planned a farce to discredit her and reach the top!”“About that…”“What about it?” Craig cut in, snickering. “Well… seeing that CEO Zimmer’s come to a decision, we’ll let you all off the hook for now. Remember this! If you don’t keep your word and Mandy Zimmer still remains in power, it’ll be all over for you Zimmers! We’ll make sure of it.”“Come on, guys. We’re leaving!”Craig Long strode haughtily out of the door, followed by his clique. Unlike him, they looked rather astonished and dumbfounded. They had stormed the Zimmer mansion filled with rage and frustration, but they achieved nothing. How was this a satisfactory conclusion? None of this is enough! …Once outside, one of the rich he
At the same time, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer arrived home.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates stared at Harvey in disbelief. “How did you do that? Senior Zimmer actually came here and invited Mandy back personally!”“Because I was the one who made the decision,” Harvey replied solemnly.Simon and others treated his words as a mere joke, but didn’t make fun of him.“It’s strange.” Simon furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Why is everything solved whenever Mandy appears? Is our family that incredible?” Their doubts of Mandy being Prince York’s secret lover vanished into the wind.If that was truly the case, how could a man as esteemed as Prince York allow Mandy to bring along her live-in husband to Sky Corporation?Mandy was dumbfounded as well. “Yeah! The way that deputy director acted was really strange. He was so friendly to me!”Mandy was always an intelligent girl, but she was too astounded by her experience today to stop and think about the whole matter thoroughly. Right now
Before heading out, Mandy Zimmer thought to herself for a while and said, “Harvey, I think we should tell grandpa and others first. After all, we’re representing the Zimmers to sign the framework agreement.”“I don’t think there’s a need for that. Sky Corporation specifically requested for you. There’s no use for anyone else to go.” Harvey York replied lightly.“I should at least make a call. He’s my grandpa, so I have to show some respect.” Mandy was such an obedient granddaughter.Almost immediately, Senior Zimmer picked up her call.His fake cough could be heard clearly from the phone. “Mandy! Anything you need?”“Grandpa, right now I’m heading over to Sky Corporation to sign the framework agreement. I just thought I should tell you.” Mandy replied respectfully.“Ah, about that. Zack and Quinn are already on their way there. You don’t have to go anymore!” Senior Zimmer’s tone was full of impatience. “The Zimmer company has arranged an office for you, so just go do your work.”
Nobody could comprehend why such a good project with so many resources would be given to Zimmer Enterprise, of all people.This small company had just come to Buckwood not long ago. Yet none of them dared to say anything about this, not where they were all under Sky Corporation. They could only voice out congratulatory remarks and praises to Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives, Zack and Quinn Zimmer. The two accepted everything with delight.“Next,” the director continued, “I would like to invite Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives to sign the framework agreement at the back office.”The person in charge of the framework agreement was still the deputy director of the previous business department.The executive director was only making announcements based on the decision made by Sky Corporation’s senior management.“Huh? Where is Mrs. Zimmer?” The deputy director craned his neck to look for her, his eyes searching through the crowd for a glimpse of Mandy.“Mandy is occupied wi
At Sky Corporation.Zack and Quinn Zimmer waited anxiously for more than half an hour until the deputy director finally returned.He shook hands with Zack Zimmer, smiling genially. “Vice CEO Zimmer, please go back and tell CEO Zimmer that our arrangement doesn’t require him to show himself in person. If there are any questions or doubts, a simple call will suffice. He has my number.”“Also, this is something I specially prepared for him. Please give this to him on my behalf.”The deputy director took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Zack.What?Sky Corporation’s deputy director is giving Zimmer Enterprise’s CEO a gift?What’s going on?Zack was still in a daze as he walked out of Sky Corporation while holding the gift box. He did not understand what had happened.However, Quinn was very curious. She kept staring at the gift box for a long time. Finally, she couldn’t hold herself back and blurted out, “Zack, what’s in it? Let’s open it!”Zack was just as curious, but
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
After meeting Emery, Harvey left Dragon Cell's office without looking back. As for how long Emery would be in his cell, Harvey did not expect much. It was already complicated to force someone like Emery to come in and cooperate when they had little clear evidence.Once back in his estate, Harvey immediately ordered George to use everything he could to find clues about Grand City. Everything that had happened this time had crossed Harvey's line. He had to go to Grand City no matter what. Other than taking over the Three Halls as per their promise, he also needed to settle the score regarding everything else.Once Harvey had organized everything and was going to have a drink in the courtyard, he saw a discreet Bentley appear outside his gate. The door opened, and a beautiful figure emerged from the vehicle. It was Sienna, the princess of the Wright family.Harvey was not that surprised when he saw Sienna's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "You have the time to come
"However, I'm not interested in that. I simply want to see how you will escape from this," replied Harvey to Emery with a chuckle. "Also, I can give you a clue. The one behind this is most likely your best friend, Dan. I wonder what you think after knowing that?"After that, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Emery, trying to gauge whether his emotional state had changed.Emery tilted his head a little and asked in interest. "Why are you so sure that Dan is behind this?"Then, Harvey answered, "Because there's just too many coincidences. The people who did this are all related to you. Meanwhile, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't use something simplistic and easily traceable back to you. If you analyze this from that angle, the person pulling the strings wanted to get me killed and also drag you down into the mud."And if this is how it all ended, then the person who will benefit the most from all this is, of course, the person pulling the strings, am I right? Not to mentio
After listening to what Harvey had said, Jesse was slightly taken aback. After that, he understood what Harvey meant. With things progressing to this stage, it did not matter if they met officially; they had already become enemies. If that were the case, they should have met using this chance. Perhaps, Dragon Cell might be able to find something out.When that thought crossed Jesse's mind, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Then, he said to Harvey, "I can take you to Emery, but I hope you won't expose who you are. We will also turn off the security cameras when you speak with him. Hopefully, that will give you the results you want."Harvey calmly nodded.Five minutes later, Harvey was taken to a cell on basement level nine. There was no light within the cell, and it was extremely cold. In the middle of the cell, there was a metal chair. On top of the chair was a yellow lamp, but looking at its light alone could make one feel dizzy. While that was what others would fe
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
