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
In the Zimmer family.The Zimmer family members were all gathered together in one place. Even Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer were called.They did not gather at the temporary villa they rented before. Instead, they gathered at the new villa located in the illustrious area of Buckwood.When Zack told Senior Zimmer about the villa, Senior Zimmer decided to have a look immediately and set out to the villa.Every single one of the Zimmers fell into hushed astonishment when they entered the villa.The building was a typical Western-style single-family villa, covering an area of nearly five hundred square meters and with a total of three floors.Such a villa might not be a big deal in Buckwood.Yet for the Zimmer family, it was more than a suitable match for their status.Senior Zimmer studied the villa in front of him, trembling in delight. His eyes were full of desire.Zack laughed. “Grandfather, this villa isn’t bad, right? Still, I heard that all the first-class families live on S
The few unmarried Zimmer women flushed red with excitement.Before, they were envious of Quinn having the chance to enter the Silva family and marry Leon Silva.Yet now, the legendary Prince York came to propose!If the Silva family was considered a rich family, then the Yorks were the richest among the rich!The legendary Prince York built up a billion-dollar enterprise from scratch, all on his own. He used his sole power to bring the Yorks back to the top!He stood at the top of South Light and was already nudging into the top circles of Country H!Such a man was a true prince charming, the dream of every woman!Before this, they dared not entertain such thoughts as it was simply impossible.Only Mandy’s face had gone slightly pale.Rumors speculated that she was Prince York’s secret lover. However, Mandy knew her affairs all too well. This so-called Prince York had nothing to do with her.Now, Prince York was sending earth-shattering betrothal gifts to the Zimmers. It was
The previous speculations about Mandy Zimmer being Prince York’s secret lover vanished at this very moment.Yet, it also showed that Mandy had no chance to be a potential bride.“Hahahaha! Zack was right. Now, we have one competitor less!”“Harvey! You are indeed a good son-in-law!”“We’re so grateful to you. Whoever dares to give you a hard time in the future, I’ll be the first to barge in and defend you!”Harvey York frowned. Since he did not arrange for these gifts, Yvonne Xavier would not have taken such actions. As for the Yorks, who would dare to do something like this without his consent? Was it Quinton York?No, not him. Quinton was thoughtful and cautious. He liked to employ carefully crafted strategies and tactics. He would never use this kind of childish method.Was it the twins?No. The twins had always been low-key, and they lacked presence among the Yorks.Collectively, the masters of the Yorks were known as the Famous Four. In truth, Quinton was the person
Simon Zimmer’s face darkened.The big project that he brought back was taken away, and the framework agreement that belonged to his daughter was snatched by someone else.Now, he could only stand aside and watch as other daughters marry into a wealthy family. He felt very uncomfortable.“We have to make Mandy divorce that loser Harvey as soon as possible.” Lilian Yates said coldly. “With that hoodoo around, our lives can only get worse!” Simon Zimmer took a deep breath and said, “I also want that to happen! But the old man gave me a warning before I left. The Zimmers’ big day is near. If anything off happens during that time, I’m dead!”“The old man’s afraid that Mandy will steal other people’s spotlight. He won’t let Mandy divorce Harvey under any circumstances!”Lilian slapped Simon hard across his face and screamed fiercely, “Simon, are you going to do whatever that old man says? Can you be assertive at least for once?” “First, Prince Silva! Then, Prince York!”“If our dau
Harvey waited for about half an hour before he finally entered the house, carrying some meat and vegetables. “Father, Mother, I just passed by the market and found something on sale. Let’s have a big meal tonight!”Mandy smiled. “Okay!”Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates’ gazes were strange. When they looked at Harvey, there was no disgust or helplessness inside their eyes.Instead, they were filled with hopelessness. There were some things that they no longer wanted to talk about.Mandy refused to get a divorce. They had no choice but to let it slide. They decided to give up.Now, all their hopes rested on Xynthia. ***The next day, Mandy went to the Zimmer Enterprise for work. Harvey went out with her.Before they left, Lilian said,“Mandy, it’ll be the National Day in two days. Your sister just started her studies in a boarding school. I’m not sure if she’ll get used to it.”“So, you’ll be responsible for bringing her home.”Lilian had it all figured out. Since her eldest daugh
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
