“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
Everyone got on the elevator. Soon, they reached the floor where the Spinning Restaurant was located.Ding!Mandy Zimmer’s face grew paler the moment the elevator arrived on that particular floor. Her palm, which was holding Xynthia’s, began to sweat.Boom, boom, boom…!Fireworks began to launch, and colorful fragments scattered all over the place.“Happy birthday, Mrs. Mandy Zimmer…!”A group of waiters stood on both sides at the elevator exit. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately bowed.A professional band played music in the backgroundThe restaurant had specially prepared a holographic projection in which various photos of Mandy were played in a continuous loop. Harvey’s figure appeared in some of the photos.It was a rare memory of Mandy and Harvey.The entire banquet was set up entirely for Mandy. No one else was there.All tables and chairs had been emptied. There was only a giant cake cart and a towering champagne tower set neatly in the centre of the d
Brent Silva was enraged.He had made a lot of preparations, used a lot of methods, and spent a lot of money to win over Mandy’s heart.The most important thing was that this whole ploy was on the orders of a person he couldn’t afford to offend.If he failed, he’d end up in unimaginable circumstances.Right now, Brent Silva had the urge to choke Zack Zimmer to death. Were it not because of Zack’s misinformation, would he be in such an awkward position?If he had brought Mandy straight to Grand Hotel W, wouldn’t things go according to plan?“I’ll find someone to check!” Zack Zimmer broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if he couldn’t give Brent a satisfactory explanation, forget forging connections with the powerful; he’d die!The birthday banquet soon began.Zack suddenly laughed. “Harvey, you might have nothing, but you still have that crazy good luck streak of yours!”Everyone turned to Zack, wondering what he meant.Zack continued. “As it turned out, the owner of the Sp
At Brent’s signal, the two entourages each took out an exquisite gift box. They opened them and placed them on one of the tables in the restaurant.Inside these two boxes was a Porsche car key and a delicate diamond ring.Brent smiled and said, “Mandy, I heard you don’t have a car yet since you came to Buckwood. I know it isn’t easy to find a license plate number here.”“Thus, I’ve specially arranged a Porsche 718 for you. It’s from a company affiliated to the Silvas. No need to be polite, just take it and drive in it.”“As for this, it’s a Cartier ring I customized just for you. This is a one-carat diamond and it exhibits an immaculate cut. Please, try it.”Lilian’s eyes became full of greed. She couldn’t help but cut in, “Young Master Silva. These two things are very valuable, aren’t they?”“Quite. The car is only about eighty thousand to ninety thousand dollars. As for this ring, it’s just about thirty-five thousand dollars. Even if you add the two together, it’s still less th
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
