“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
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
