“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
“What?” Mandy Zimmer was taken aback for a moment, surprised.She assumed Harvey’s birthday gift was something worthless, which was why he must’ve been embarrassed to show it in front of everyone just now.Harvey York took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mandy. “Open it and take a look.”Mandy opened the envelope, which contained an access card and the code for a smart door lock.Mandy was startled. “Is this…a house?” “The…the Gardens Residence?”Mandy grew stunned.Although she had just arrived in Buckwood not long ago, she knew that the Gardens Residence was the best residential community in all of Buckwood.“The place rented by the Zimmers is too small to live in. You should stay in this house instead. After all, you are the CEO of the company.”Harvey smiled.“Let’s go and see. Follow me.”As they talked, Harvey took Mandy to the Gardens Residence.“Harvey, are you crazy?! What did you do?”Mandy had checked the house prices online, and the revelation
Zack Zimmer’s words hit Senior Zimmer’s nerve.The reason Senior Zimmer allowed Mandy to be the CEO was to control her.However, it would be troublesome if Mandy did marry Brent Silva while still holding the position of CEO.Senior Zimmer’s eyes fluctuated in frustration. He then said coldly, “In the Zimmer family, you can’t just divorce or marry someone as you like!”Zack continued, “Grandfather, for now, the best way is to let Quinn quickly marry into the Silva family and then take away the CEO position from Mandy.”“If you feel that there’s no one you can trust, I can temporarily fill up the position for you!”“Of course, I’m just a puppet. Grandfather has the final say!”Zack had no intention of concealing his ambition. He knew that hiding it was useless, so he might as well be upfront about it.From his understanding of Senior Zimmer’s personality, as long as the other party was nervous, everything would go according to his plan.Brent did not need to marry Mandy. As long
Mandy’s family did not attend this interim meeting as there were many things to settle in the company.The Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project had begun.As this project was given to Silver Nimbus Enterprise by Sky Corporation, it was of utmost importance.Mandy Zimmer was now overseeing the construction of the project on-site.Due to sufficient funds, Silver Nimbus Enterprise was able to hire top-notch design and construction teams.Not only their quality of work was excellent, but they were also fast and efficient.In just a few days, many buildings had begun to take shape.One night, Mandy received a call reporting that something had happened on the construction site.She and Simon quickly rushed to the scene of the accident.Once there, they saw two groups of people in the field.One was the construction team that they had hired.As for the other, none of them had any clue.This unknown group was filled with fierce and shirtless gangsters, whose bodies were cluttered
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
