“Sorry, but I do know what’s best for myself!Mandy Zimmer’s expression was unbelievably cold.“Do you want what I have? Come and get it then!“You’re involved with intentional injury and attempted murder!“These are huge crimes!“I already called the cops! I hope you’ll stay this arrogant when they arrive!”The man let out a wretched chuckle.“Truly impressive, Ms. Mandy!“If that’s the case, I’ll stop running my mouth!“You better not regret your decision later!“I always treat women with care, but I’ve no intention of wasting my time on ignorant people like you!”The man cracked his neck before stepping forward.“What are you people doing?! Go already!” exclaimed Maya Lee.“Take him down!”Besides a few security guards with firearms, the people in black suits stepped forward while swinging their batons around.“It’s been years since someone even treated us Contractors this way…”The man chuckled before stomping on the ground.Swoosh!The people in black suits rushe
Clack!Mandy Zimmer stepped back when she pulled an exquisite firearm from her bag.The firearm was around the size of her lip gloss. There was only a single bullet loaded inside, but this was her only way to protect herself.“Oh!“A gun?!The Contractor whistled after seeing the firearm. He was not shocked or fearful at all.“It’d be easy for someone like you to get a legal document for that…“But that’s not the only thing you need.“Without long and intensive training, you can’t hit me with that bullet.“Besides, the police would be going after you first if you do pull the trigger.”The Contractor fiercely reached out for the firearm.Naturally, he did not expect Mandy to dare shoot him.Even if she did, he would not be too surprised.The Contractor was just about to reach Mandy’s tender hand…When a Rolls Royce Phantom instantly stopped in front of him.Two G-Wagons were also seen protecting the front and back of the car.The car doors opened at the same time.A cal
“Do you think you can just come and go as you please?”The man calmly smiled when he blew a puff of smoke.At the same time, the man with strong legs fiercely pounced forward, kicking the Contractor in an instant.The Contractor tried to defend himself but was just a little late.His body trembled when he was sent flying into the truck’s container.The container instantly dented as blood gushed out of the Contractor’s orifices. It was an extremely wretched sight.“I’m Evermore’s Contractor! Since you’re from the top ten families, you should understand what that name means!The Contractor showed a shocked expression.“Do you understand the consequences of doing something like this?!“Even if you’re from the top ten families, you won’t get out of this unscathed!”The man in a gray-striped suit flicked the ash off his cigar before smiling faintly.“Nobody in Wolsing has the right to talk that way to me, Hector Thompson!”‘Hector Thompson?!‘One of the Four Young Masters of Wo
It seemed like Hector Thompson saw through everything in Mandy Zimmer’s mind after seeing the look on her face.“It’s not our first time seeing each other, Ms. Mandy,” he said, smiling faintly.“That said, we didn’t get to know each other on a deeper level since we both were partnered.“I was interested in you when the Jean family held a cocktail party at the Wolsing Hotel. I tried inviting you for a movie together…“But I stopped bugging you after you rejected me thrice.“After all, decency is crucial to us from the top ten families.“You should know that I wouldn’t try to earn a woman’s heart by orchestrating that big of a show.“After all, I have a high status. I can’t afford to embarrass myself like this.“If you still don’t believe me…Hector opened something on his phone before throwing it on the table.“Have a look at this.”Mandy instinctively glanced at the screen before seeing Hector’s schedule. Judging from the schedule, he was supposed to attend a launch conferen
In sweltering weather, a middle-aged woman with a mink fur coat covered in all sorts of jewelry quickly entered.A pure young woman was following behind her.The middle-aged woman completely ignored Hector Thompson when she rushed towards Mandy Zimmer.“Are you alright, my dear?“I heard you got in trouble before I bought anything at the Olden Trade!“Which bastard did this to you?!“You’re the head of the ninth branch!“You’re also managing the Jean family’s affairs in Wolsing!“They’re going against the entire family doing this!“They must have a death wish!”The person was none other than Lilian Yates. Xynthia Zimmer was the one following behind.Mandy gave Xynthia a look after seeing Lilian’s face.“Don’t worry, Mother. I’m fine.“It’s just a car accident.”Hector’s eyes lit up instantly before faintly smiling while stepping forward.“Ms. Mandy’s okay, Aunty.“My lawyers will take care of the accident.”“You?Lilian showed a demanding expression.“Speak! Were you
Hector Thompson smiled faintly.“Sorry, Aunty.“The people did give me the title…“But I’m just an ordinary man.“In a place like Wolsing, almost everyone here is a billionaire.“This is embarrassing…”“No! Not at all!Lilian Yates was smiling from ear to ear.“Fate will always bring people together, right? Besides, the internet says your net worth is billions of dollars!”Hector chuckled.“That’s because of the family. I’d be lucky even to have a billion to my name.”“What a bright young man you are!”Lilian’s eyes lit up. She has nothing but admiration for top-rated young masters like Hector.More importantly, she would be in the country’s top-rated circle if Mandy Zimmer were to marry him.After all, Lilian had lived in debauchery since she arrived in Wolsing for a few days. She ate meals worth a few thousand dollars in a private clubhouse and shopped in places with bags worth a hundred times more than that. There was simply no way for her to go back.More importantly
“You can’t go, Mother!”Mandy Zimmer spoke sternly after waiting for Hector Thompson to leave.She knew exactly what her mother was planning.Nobody knew if Hector mentioned the loan intentionally…But Mandy knew her mother would spend it all in a heartbeat.“Not only are you not listening to me, you’re even trying to babysit me?!Lilian Yates held her waist with a fierce expression.“Did that bastard contact you again?!“Let me tell you something! It doesn’t matter if he’s a prince or a CEO!“The top ten families and the five hidden families are the country’s top-rated circles!“You’re the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch! You’re also in charge of the family’s business in Wolsing!“You’re only allowed to talk to people like Young Master Hector!“Do you understand me?!”Mandy frowned.“That’s my business, Mother.“Besides, Hector might not be as good as you think.“He was probably the one who orchestrated the entire accident.“That’s why…”“He did?Lilian scoff
“What do you mean?Mandy Zimmer froze.“The company doesn’t even have that much money left?“There were still millions of dollars’ worth of surplus, right?”“There’s something you don’t know, Ms. Mandy. The wages for the workers at the construction site and the payment for supplies are due this month.“That said, the presale certificates for the commercial buildings haven’t been issued yet.“We can’t sell the buildings because of that.“And since we’ve been spending all that money without any cash flow, it’s only natural that we’re low on funds.“Besides, Aunty Lilian also spent millions of dollars in company funds last month.“If we wire her another 1.5 million now, we wouldn’t be able to explain this to the higher-ups once the accounting department finds out about this.”Naturally, the Jean family’s ninth branch was in charge of the real estate business in Wolsing.That said, because of the country’s economic trend and rapid development of technology, traditional housing h
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
