Xynthia Zimmer only returned to her normal self after exiting the real estate centre. She stared at Harvey York with a mystified expression and said, “Brother-in-law, so I have a house now?”“For now, your sister and I will be living there. Isn’t there a few hundred square metres wide of space around the top garden? You can stay there if you want to.”Xynthia became excited. “Then, brother-in-law, can I choose to not live on the school campus anymore? The school hostel is too small, I don’t want to stay there any longer…”Her actual intention was to see her brother-in-law every day.Plus, she had to come up with a way to prevent him and her sister from consummating their marriage.Harvey would’ve never imagined his wife’s younger sister would have such ulterior motives. He thought for a while before saying, “This house is yours, so you can choose to come and go whenever you want. I can’t control you.”Xynthia had a look of realization. She decided to move in during the National D
Opening the door, Mandy Zimmer was surprised.Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Brent Silva would actually be at her doorstep, a bouquet of flowers in his hands.On the other hand, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were looking at Brent as if he was already their son-in-law, nodding their heads repeatedly in approval.“Hello, uncle and auntie. Last time I was rude, but that was a misunderstanding. I hope you are generous enough to let it slide.’“The reason I’m here today is to give you all a formal apology, and to celebrate Mandy’s birthday.”Brent smiled, looking gentle and handsome.If the people who knew him intimately were around they wouldn’t even recognize him, what with the way he was acting.“Yes, Mr. Silva came here with utmost sincerity. Uncle Simon, Aunt Lilian, you should be grateful.” Zack Zimmer aided from behind, quick to praise Brent. “With the Zimmers’ status, we shouldn’t be able to connect with a family as noble as the Silvas.” Brent waved his hand. T
It was hard to describe how Simon felt at that very moment.His youngest daughter was rumoured to be the one Prince York had set his eyes on. The news turned him and his wife sleepless for countless nights.If…If Prince Silva had his eyes on their eldest daughter, then he could kick Harvey York out and live a comfortable life.With the two famous princes becoming his sons-in-law, he and his family could be as rich and extravagant as possible.Looking at the situation at hand, it was Brent Silva who was chasing after their eldest.Still, anything was possible. Anything could happen!Even if Prince Silva didn’t have interest in Mandy, having Brent was more than enough!Thinking this, Simon quickly regained his composure.He started talking to Brent to understand Brent’s status in the Silva family.After all, this man was his soon-to-be son-in-law. There was no harm trying to understand Brent’s background more, right?While he chatted pleasantly with Brent, Harvey remained tig
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”Everyone turned around and looked at Harvey York.Harvey said to Mandy Zimmer, “Honey, I ordered a very special birthday dinner for you. Let me take you there.”At this, Lilian Yates barked impatiently, “Hmph! So what? Young Master Silva ordered a dinner at Grand Hotel W! A table there costs about twenty thousand dollars! What did you order?”Brent Silva looked at Harvey with a gentle expression. He said, “Mr. York, we don’t need to go to the place you booked.”“At the place I booked, a table costs about twenty thousand dollars. If we don’t go, it’d be a real loss!”“As for the place you booked, the losses will be on me. What do you think?”As he spoke, he waved his hand. One of his minions took out a stack of money and threw it carelessly on the ground.Harvey didn’t spare a glance at their theatrics. Instead, he smiled. “If I do that, I’ll suffer a greater loss than you.”“Oh? Where did you book? I booked the Number One room of Grand Hotel W, wi
“Yeah, Young Master Silva is right. Since our live-in son-in-law can book the entire Spinning Restaurant, we must go see it.”Zack Zimmer’s purpose today was to cooperate with Brent Silva to take Mandy Zimmer down. How could he miss out on this opportunity to bash Harvey, the loser?He and Brent exchanged discreet glances. They both saw the ambition in each other’s eyes.How could such a joke be compared with their careful preparations?Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates didn’t want to go. However, Brent took the hard-line and insisted that they should go.Although he had a gentle appearance, he was full of deterrence. Simon and Lilian had no choice but to defer to his wishes.Mandy was even more confused at how everything had turned out.Couldn’t Harvey see through Brent’s motive?Despite that, he still allowed other people to spit in his face and humiliate him. Did he want to be kicked out of the Zimmer family that bad?Were it not for the sake of saving Harvey’s face right now,
Harvey York flashed the gangster a genuine smile.Many in Buckwood wanted to bury him in the ground, but they only dared to use covert methods.Even the powerful Quinton York didn’t have the guts to confront him directly. Quinton had never been able to take a hold of Harvey.However, this gangster dared to talk like this to him. What a joke!The gangster was quite surprised to see Harvey smile. “You’re quite bold. Let me introduce myself.”“The name’s Ben Cole.”Harvey thought for a while and said, “I don’t know you. Seems you’re hardly a big shot in Buckwood, hmm?”Ben’s eyes grew slightly cold. Indeed, he was not a big shot. If he was, he didn’t need to resort to such trivial matters like this.Even so, he remained conceited.He grinned and pulled his ears slightly. “I haven’t heard someone say that to me for a long time. Say, what happened to that second generation heir who talked like that to me last time?”A younger guy behind Ben replied, “Big Brother, you cut off his t
“I’ve given you a chance.” A cold voice came from behind. Ben Cole, who had been very arrogant moments ago, shuddered.He turned around frantically. From the corner of his eye, he could see several of his men were lying motionless on the ground.“Mr. Live-in son-in-law, what do you want to do? If you provoke me, the Zimmer family’s finished, not to mention yourself.” Ben was terrified. However, he was still a gangster. Although he was facing an unexpectedly harsh situation, he still held on to his pride.“Tell me, who asked you to come?” Harvey asked coldly.“Heh! You don’t deserve to know!”Harvey nodded, and increased the strength in his grip.Ben felt as if a rope was encircled around his neck, constantly tightening, making it difficult for him to breathe. Panic entered his eyes.He now understood that this live-in son-in-law was a ruthless person. If he still dared to mess around, then he might really die in the next minute.“You…you let go of me first.” Ben was strugglin
By the time Harvey York reached Buckwood Tower, Mandy Zimmer and the rest had been waiting for a while.Leon Silva was urging Mandy to leave, insisting that Harvey was afraid to come.He panicked slightly when he saw Harvey appear, but was quick to recover his calm.Harvey gave Leon an indifferent glance, but said nothing.Mandy had no clue what was going on. However, she was slightly nervous. The arm she used to hold onto Xynthia Zimmer trembled.She was looking forward to the surprises Harvey promised her.At the same time, she was also worried that everything would turn out to be nothing. If that happened, she didn’t know what to do with herself.Zack Zimmer, who was standing on the side, spoke up the moment he saw Harvey. “Oh, right. I just checked. It’s said that after successfully booking the Spinning Restaurant, the restaurant will send a gold-plated membership card that you can use while you dine in. Is that true?”Leon smiled. “I know about it. This membership card is
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
