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
If Senior Zimmer couldn't not find a scapegoat to vent his anger, he would end up unleashing the full brunt of his fury on Zack.Zack knew his grandfather all too well.Whoever “suitable” at this moment would be extremely unlucky.Just then, his eyes fell on Mandy Zimmer.Senior Zimmer had always hated her, anyway. Letting her be the most “suitable” person would be great."Grandfather, I think Mandy is the most suitable!”“After all, she was the one who brought back the framework agreement! She deserves to be the CEO of the new company!”Zack blurted out, speaking without a care in the world.He must praise Mandy! The more he elevated her, the worse things would be for her.Zack’s intention was lost on the rest of the Zimmers. However, some of them contemplated his words and ended up agreeing with him.“Yes, Mandy is familiar with the people of Sky Corporation. So, it’s okay for her to be the new CEO.”“Besides, she has nothing to do all day long. She can’t keep being a rice
If Senior Zimmer absolutely had to choose the younger Zimmers to be the CEO, then he would certainly need to pick Mandy Zimmer.With that, he made a final decision. “Prince York hopes that the Zimmers would choose a young person to be the new CEO.”“To top it off, Mandy did make a huge contribution to the Zimmer family!”“Therefore, I think I’ll let Mandy be the CEO of the new company.”The whole crowd fell silent. Moments later, some of them mumbled out sparse agreements.Mandy was dumbfounded. Only now did she understand what Senior Zimmer wanted her to do.Did he want her to be the CEO of the new company?How could this happen to her?“Grandfather, she can’t do it! She’s incompetent. I don’t think she’s suitable!”“Grandfather, just choose any of us. We’re better than her! What right does she have?!”“Yes! The betrothal gifts from Prince York are for his future wife. She’s a married woman. How is that fair?!”Other Zimmers pointed and cursed at Mandy.They didn’t want Se
On that day, news about the Zimmer family’s election of the new CEO spread all over Buckwood.At the same time, the name of the new company was also decided.Silver Nimbus Enterprise!Since the new company’s main business was Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort, it would be named after the project.However, in Buckwood, the phrase “Silver Nimbus” could not be used casually. Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard and Silver Nimbus Courtyard both represented the Yorks’ properties.However, Sky Corporation allowed it.It was said that Prince York found the name Silver Nimbus Enterprise excellent.This instantly stirred up a lot of rumors.Many speculated that the person Prince York fell in love with was Mandy Zimmer’s younger sister, who was still studying in high school.That was why he took such great care of his future sister-in-law.While many discussed this matter in secret, none of them dared to be obvious about it.After Mandy officially became the CEO of Silver Nimbus Enterprise, she
The man born with a silver spoon was named Eddie King, a senior in high school who was also the same age as Xynthia Zimmer.He was the typical delinquent. His family was extremely wealthy and he was already driving a Porsche 718 despite his age.He was the one that organized the gathering for the night. If it weren’t for him, the other students would not be able to spend their time here.A place like the Dorsett Empire KTV would cost thousands of dollars just for one night!Eddie’s goal for that night was simple, and that was to get Xynthia drunk and then take a few exhilarating pictures of her. The young girls at school were afraid of this.Once they were blackmailed with the pictures, they would be obedient little girls!Xynthia was wearing the clothes that her good friend gave, with a small sling bag and an extremely short skirt. That get-up showed her snowy white skin with her legs stuck together. Eddie was practically drooling while he looked at the sight.Xynthia was not u
Looking at Xynthia Zimmer that seemed quite insecure at that moment, Harvey York immediately realized the intention of the so-called gathering.The delinquent students did not waste more time and planned to do heinous things to Xynthia.Only Xynthia was being foolish, thinking that she had only met an admirer.Previously, people pursued her back in Niumhi but the Zimmers were quite reputable, thus nobody would dare to go against them.But what kind of place was Buckwood? Scumbags and saints were mixed together here, even billionaires could not handle their own in a place like this. A local like Eddie King had two suites worth millions, why would he care about the background of a young girl from a billionaire family?“Go away, Harvey! I don’t want to go back, you are not the boss of me!” Xynthia screamed at him as she intended not to leave at all.Harvey frowned, he was ready to forcefully take Xynthia home.Bang!At that moment, the door of the box suddenly swung wide open.A
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
