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
Harvey spent a few seconds playing with his watch before finally turning to look at Queenie. “You’re coming to see me so openly. Aren’t you afraid that Quinton will find out and kill you?”“Would he have the heart to kill such a cute little sister?” Queenie smiled sweetly.“Cute?” Harvey smirked mockingly. The woman before him could be described as many things. Manipulative, a femme fatale, a cold beauty, dangerously fliratious… Cute was not one of them. Cute did not suit her at all.Sure enough, Harvey couldn’t deny her beauty. However, he knew that it was nothing more than a weapon for murder.A weapon so powerful, it could harm the country and the people.“If you didn’t think I’m cute, why did you take me to the Yorks back then?” Queenie asked calmly, recalling their past.“I was only eight when I brought you back. How could I anticipate that the three-year-old little girl I found on the roadside would try to kill me ten years later?” Harvey replied, indifferent.“Of course,
Queenie York stared at the direction Harvey left. After a while, she broke into an amused smile. “Second Brother, let’s make a guess. Do you think his words were meant for me, or for you?”A man in a tunic walked out. He was playing with a jade-made chess piece clenched in his hand. He said indifferently, “It’s for me, and also for you…”“Aren’t you afraid?” Queenie asked.“Why should I be? You mustn’t be afraid if you want to tame a fiery horse. The Yorks are like that, and so are you.” Faint crimson flashed through Quinton’s eyes, but he quickly recovered his composure.He wasn’t sure if Queenie understood him. She replied casually, “Since Big Brother has come to declare war, then I’ll stop playing tricks on my sister-in-law.”“Whatever.” Quinton strode out of the suite.“But let me advise you, don’t overdo it. Even I can’t save you if you keep playing with fire!”As soon as he finished speaking, he left and vanished without a trace. Queenie’s smile disappeared. She looked a
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
