Even Tara Lewis was just as stunned.She never thought that Harvey would be so anxious to come find her straight away.“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know where this is? Are you trying to make trouble?”Frank Zummo couldn’t help but yell in anger.He just had to say a few more sentences to bring Tara down. Yet, this guy came out of nowhere and instantly spoiled his plan.He wasn’t sure when such a good opportunity would come again.Right now, he wanted nothing more than to choke Harvey to death.Tara’s parents stared at Harvey curiously and asked, “Dear, who is this? Why does he look familiar?”Tara replied helplessly, “Father, Mother, this is Harvey.”Tara’s father’s expression changed drastically. “What? Harvey? Your college classmate? What is he doing here? How did you get in touch with him?”“He… we participated in the class gathering before.” Tara explained. “Naturally, we got in touch.” Frank’s father thundered with a darkened face, “Old Man Lewis, w
“Yes.” Harvey nodded. “A quiet, comfortable and safe house. Most importantly, the facilities must be perfect.”Tara Lewis understood that Harvey York wanted to buy a villa. Otherwise, he could have simply bought another house in the Gardens Residence. After all, it was the best community in Buckwood.“Well, our company has the type of villa you want.” Tara said quickly. “I’ll show it to you.” She then turned around and said, “Uncle, aunt. I’m sorry about today. I have to deal with my classmate’s request first. Let’s meet again next time.”She was initially against this marriage because she felt that it was too soon. Harvey came at the right time, giving her an excuse to get away.Looking at it in this way, she was quite grateful to Harvey.Tara’s parents stood up as well and said, “Let’s do this. Since everyone has almost finished eating, let’s take a look at your working environment. How about it?”Although Tara was against this marriage, her parents were impatient and wanted
Everyone was stunned into shock.They shot Harvey York and Tara Lewis looks of disbelief.“Buy…buy a villa…?” Frank’s voice was trembling.“Yes! Buying a villa.” Tara said bluntly. “If you want an ordinary house or a large apartment, the Gardens Residence will have it.” Frank was quite baffled. His assets weren’t enough to buy a house in the Gardens Residence, even the smallest one.Let alone a villa in the Gardens Residence!None of the villas on sale were under sixteen million dollars.Frank’s father suddenly burst out in laughter. “Young man, you’re doing great business! You must have received a lot of commissions and rebates from buying a villa for someone, am I right?”Harvey was just an intermediary in Old Man Zummo’s eyes.“Hehehe, seems we’ve underestimated you. No wonder you’re so eager to find Tara. This big of an order should have a commission of tens of thousands, correct?”Frank quickly regained his senses and mocked Harvey.Truthfully, he was still a little en
Harvey did not even ask about the price.Shawn Bell and his wife were his best friend’s parents. He must give them the best of the best, and nothing less.It was just a villa. It was nothing much.For Harvey, this was just part of his everyday life.However, Frank Zummo and his father took in the scene in utter shock.They thought the treatment Harvey received was just random luck, and that Harvey was just pretending to be rich.Nonetheless, now they could see that Harvey was truly rich.He didn’t need to ask the price when he bought the villa. He treated it as if it was a mere cabbage from a roadside stall!Thinking of their cynicism against Harvey previously, they flushed in embarrassment.Perhaps in Harvey’s eyes, they looked like complete clowns.“Mr. York, this way.” Wilson Carter said diligently. “Do you want to have a look at the drawings first?”Harvey thought for a brief moment and ultimately decided that he should have a look. At the very least, he should know abou
Standing on the sidelines, Tara Lewis was unperturbed.She was only slightly dazed.Harvey’s order alone would grant her a commission of at least 1.5 million dollars.She didn’t even need to do anything, and had just simply watched the events unfold in silence.Seeing that Tara had earned one million dollars in an instant, her parents suddenly felt that Frank was very ordinary.Their daughter could earn a million in just one day. For a man who had properties of only a few million, he was completely out of her league.One in the city center, one in the suburbs, and one at the seaside… How could all these be compared with a villa that was casually bought?“Old Man Zummo, I think we should put aside our children’s affairs for now. We’ll talk about it later.”Tara’s father stood up and said ruthlessly.“Huh? No, what does that have to do with anything?”When Frank saw that Tara could easily earn a million dollars, he was even determined to win her over. However, her father’s word
Nighttime.A group of people from the Silva family led by Brent Silva came to see the Zimmers. This time, he did not give Zack Zimmer any face. His presence intimidated Senior Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers.“Young Master Silva, what wind has blown you here? It’s already midnight…”Senior Zimmer looked at the crowd in black suits tagging along Brent, trembling. He could hardly speak.Brent’s face was cold, not a trace of gentleness in his expression.“What wind? Of course, it’s the fatal wind!” Brent snarled coldly.“Your live-in son-in-law is certainly amazing! How dare he interfere with the Silva family’s affairs?!”“Do you think that once you have Sky Corporation’s backing, the Silva family can’t do anything to you?”“I’m warning you! You better give me a clear explanation on this matter! The Silva family was the one who allowed you into Buckwood, and we can also send you back to where you came from!”“If this whole problem isn’t properly handled, forget the engagement!
“What?”“You’ve always been like this! You never care about how I feel!”“Now you have completely offended the Silva family, and they’re taking it out on the Zimmers!”“There’s absolutely no room for the Zimmers to survive in Buckwood if the Silvas are dissatisfied with us!”“Our lives might even be in danger. Are you trying to kill us all?”Mandy had already broken down in tears.Harvey wasn’t able to explain anything at all. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t say anything.“What should we do now?”Senior Zimmer had a headache.Zack Zimmer thought of an idea. “There’s only one solution now…”“Let Mandy divorce Harvey!”“Only then, the Zimmer family won’t have anything to do with him!”“That’s the only way we can save ourselves!”Quinn Zimmer and others immediately shouted their approval. “Yes! Divorce him immediately! Divorce him right now!”“Only then will everything be solved.”Although both Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates had been ostracized from the family, they s
“I’ve decided.”“To prevent the Zimmer family from getting into trouble, I’ll…”“I’ll leave the Zimmers with Harvey!”“From now on, we have nothing to do with the Zimmer family…”“I choose to face these difficulties with my husband!”Mandy took a step forward, held Harvey’s palm tightly, and stood alongside him.Harvey could not react at this moment. A brief moment passed, and a smile appeared on his face.Mandy was indeed his wife!Everyone in the Zimmer family was dumbfounded by her decision.Simon and Lilian exchanged bewildered stares. Simon yelled, “Silly daughter! What are you doing?!”“Divorce! You must divorce him!”“The opportunity has finally come!”“Your grandfather finally agreed to your divorce!”“If you don’t leave him now, are you planning to live with this burden for the rest of your life?”“You’re raised in a comfortable environment. Can you really endure that kind of hardship? That’s not a life fit for a human!”Simon was trying to persuade Mandy, with
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's
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
