Eiden Jackson glared coldly after hearing those words.“You better know what’s good for yourself, Mandy!“Do you want your money back? Dream on!“I’m already giving you enough leeway by asking for another fifteen million to handle your stupid problem!“If you were anybody else, I would’ve demanded you to serve me for three months and then hand me thirty percent of your company shares!“I’m giving you one minute to think this through.“If I don’t get a reply that I’m happy with, your company will be history! You can bet on it!“You’ll become my plaything after that!Eiden wretchedly glared when he was filled with determination and disdain.“If you don’t believe it, then try me!”“You…”Before Mandy Zimmer could finish her line, Harvey York tapped on her shoulder when he stepped forward.“Eiden, right?“I’ll also give you one minute.“Kneel, apologize, break your arm, pay her three million dollars, and then get the pre-sale license ready.“I’d only let you off the hook if
Splash!After hearing his disgusting words, Mandy Zimmer instantly splashed her cup of tea on Eiden Jackson’s face.Eiden paused for a moment before licking his lips pervertedly.“What a blessing for a goddess like you to give me such tasty nectar!“That said, you must be planning to go against me at this point.”The subordinates behind him burst out laughing.They could only reap the rewards if Mandy were arrogant enough.It would be bad for them if she had common sense.At the same time, they were confident they could hold down Mandy’s company.The Candid Intermediary had been monopolizing Wolsing’s housing sales since its establishment.It was safe to say that no company or anyone with a background could get by without the Candid Intermediary’s approval.Along with the fact that everyone in the city had connections with each other…Other than those with a strong background here, nobody would dare to go against the Candid Intermediary—even the top ten families or the five
Mandy Zimmer tried to convince Eiden Jackson not to escalate the situation, but he could not be bothered when he showed a cheeky look.“I should be thanking you for being this considerate, huh?” he exclaimed after wretchedly chuckling.“But then, do you think I’d let this guy go just because you’re challenging me?”Then, Eiden shifted his disdainful glare toward Harvey York.“Twenty seconds have passed! I didn’t kneel, nor did I break my arm! How are you planning to deal with me now?!“Come on then! Try me!“I should warn you though.“Unless you can take me out right now…“I guarantee you that you’ll die the moment you set foot outside.”Eiden chuckled while moving his thumb across his neck.What an arrogant look!Harvey casually glared at Eiden before dialing Ray Hart’s number.“There’s a company called the Candid Intermediary.“I want you to find out everything about it in three minutes.“I want the company shut down in five.“And I want its CEO to be locked up after t
Eiden Jackson’s body instantly tensed up. He instinctively slapped himself in the face, ensuring he was not dreaming.Then, he started making calls while his entire body trembled in fear.He was able to keep his composure at first…But in the end, his face became as pale as paper.He realized that his secretaries were speaking the truth!His company was in an even worse situation then!The people he had gone against—the people he had silenced and blackmailed…Those he believed to be easy to condemn were suddenly united.They were brave enough to go against the Candid Intermediary as if they managed to find their own support.It was unbelievable!Change in quantity would usually affect quality.Eiden could not be bothered if only one or two people opposed him…But with this many of them together, even Eiden would not have a way to deal with the situation despite his iron grip.His powerful company, which had the potential to be listed in the market, was about to crumble at
Three days later, the Hunt family would definitely harass Harvey York if the old lady remained vigorous.But if not…The Hunt family would have to beg for Harvey’s help.The butler believed that there was a slight chance for that to happen, but he needed to consider the possibility even so.The butler took a deep breath before finally speaking again.“Eiden…”Eiden Jackson froze. He could sense something going wrong.“Father?”“Good luck.”Beep beep beep!The butler calmly hung up the call.Eiden’s eyes frantically twitched.He could not figure out what Harvey and his godfather’s conversation meant…But judging from the butler’s reaction, Harvey’s identity was probably extraordinary.Along with the series of incidents with Eiden’s company…Even an arrogant man like him suddenly realized something.Despite believing he had total control over Wolsing, he was horrified by Harvey’s sheer power!Eiden wiped the cold sweat off his face before showing a horrible look.“Broth
“Mandy’s my woman,” said Harvey York.“Do you understand what that means?“If you go against her, you’d have to pay the price.“I already told you my conditions.“You can do as I say, or you can ignore them.“But then, you’d have to deal with the consequences of your actions after that.”Eiden Jackson’s eyes twitched nonstop after hearing those words.He finally understood that he was going against someone he should not have in the first place.He wanted to leave as soon as possible…But he knew that he would suffer worse consequences than this if he actually did.His company going bankrupt was nothing, but he also might be locked up behind bars! If he were to be brought down finally…Nobody would know how the people he oppressed would deal with him then.He shuddered even more after thinking of all this.Without a second thought, he instinctively looked at his arms when the idea of breaking which arm never seemed to cross his mind.“You can’t do it? Do you need my help
Maya Lee made some Black Tea for Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York before subtly shutting the door.Mandy seemed torn when she kept her gaze on Harvey momentarily.“Thank you, Harvey…“But then, I still think that you’re too violent.“It’s shocking how violence can solve things, but there also are many problems that come with it.“We took Eiden down this time, but who knows what he’ll do against us next time?“After all, doing this in business is a little out of hand. Promise me not to use it that much, okay?”Mandy’s words made Harvey look gloomy. He did not expect Mandy to change this much.‘I’m the one resorting to violence?‘Heh…‘Is this how you see me now…?’Harvey was not angry, though. He pondered for a moment before finally talking.“It’s not that I want to do things this way, Mandy.“Different problems require different solutions.“You’re right about the business world…“But, is it really as clean as you say it is?“Loopholes are being used to bypass the law. The s
Mandy Zimmer took a deep breath, forcing her to snap out of her emotions. Harvey York was right about one thing: there were too many problems that she had to face because of her company.Harvey managed to get the license for her, but the people who were fooled out of their wallets downstairs were also a huge problem.She could not just hope Harvey would fix everything with a few words as well.But in reality, this was something all too easy for him to handle.Then again, he knew Mandy too well.Her pride would not allow her to accept any more help from Harvey after he dealt with such a massive problem.After realizing that, he waved at Mandy before he was about to leave.“Right, Harvey…Mandy suddenly remembered something.“I recently helped Xynthia transfer to Wolsing’s Academy of Motion Pictures.“I was supposed to help with her luggage today.“But with the people downstairs, I’m afraid…”Harvey did not intend to refuse Mandy’s request.“Right. I’ll go help her out then.
