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
This incident made the unmarried women of the Zimmer family incredibly happy. They were so excited, they couldn’t sleep well for days and nights.They could sense that this was another one of Prince York’s betrothal gifts for his future wife. Whoever who was elected as the new CEO would attain fifty-one percent of shares from Sky Corporation.As for Senior Zimmer, he would be replaced.On this day, all the relatives of the Zimmer family arrived in Buckwood and held a meeting in Zimmer Enterprise’s new company building.Senior Zimmer sat in the CEO’s seat and looked at the rest of the Zimmers before him. Ambition and passion coloured their eyes, regardless of their gender. The CEO of a brand-new company, backed by the powerful Prince York! This kind of progress was destined to make them into a first-class family in Buckwood!Such an incredible position was making the Zimmers knock their heads from sheer excitement.Once again, Senior Zimmer felt powerless.After he came to Bu
The Zimmers exchanged silent glances as they listened to Zack’s spirited exclamation.Although everyone had their own greed and ambition… Senior Zimmer had been in charge of the Zimmers for many, many years.Even until now, he still wanted to remain in power. Who dared to disobey him in person?“Father, we too think that you are most suited to be the CEO!”Sean Zimmer was the first to stand up and support Zack.“Yes! As long as you continue to be the CEO, no matter what the new company is called, it’s still the Zimmer Enterprise!”“Grandfather, you’ve brought us Zimmers this far. Under your leadership, becoming a first-class family in Buckwood is within reach!”Senior Zimmer knew they were insincere, but their words satisfied him. “You all…”“I’m senile. I’ve always wanted to retire and enjoy a good fortune.”“But when I look at you youngsters, apart from Zack, none of you are capable enough!”“I can’t allow you to act on behalf of the Zimmers and laze around. Embarrassing
“Yes… It seems that there is such a rumor.”“Prince York wanted young people to be the new CEO.”“Prince York did mention newcomers bringing in a fresh perspective. He wanted to give us Zimmers a chance to prove ourselves. We can’t make any mistakes.”“We all truly support you, Grandfather. But is it alright to disobey Prince York like this?”“Prince York owns fifty-one percent of our shares. In other words, he can control our company now and in the future. Does it make any sense for us to choose the new CEO right now?”Senior Zimmer fell silent.The Zimmers pretended to look discomfited, as if saying all that was against their conscience.In truth, they were about to crack broad grins.How would they get a chance to rise if they let this old man remain in power?Now that this live-in son-in-law had come forward to make trouble, they just went along with it.This way, they would have the opportunity to become the CEO.After all, this live-in son-in-law could never be the CE
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
