Shingen nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. At the same time, he took out another cigar and started to smoke. After he was done with the first puff, he said, "You said these are all on the surface. Why don't you tell me what's under the shadows?"Mizukakushi nodded and said, "Maybe it's me being too suspicious, but I found out something the Xaviers had never told us. Yvonne has been working as Harvey's right-hand woman for a long time, and the two of them often appear together."In other words, Yvonne might have belonged to Harvey already. If you're going to steal his woman, he's going to go against you until the bitter end.""Harvey?" Shingen was slightly taken aback. "Why is this name so familiar to me?""Of course you're familiar with ut. He's the one who has ruined Shindan Way and Shinkage Way's plans in HK City. Even our men from Shinto Way in the outskirts have suffered in his hand. In other words, this man is our public enemy. Unfortunately, he's still living a good long
Only when the old man had put down the brush in his hand did Jesse take a step forward and say, "Sir, Mr. Shingen from the Shinto Way has arrived."The old man turned and let out a smile. "I am Nashon Xavier. I'm glad to finally meet you."Shingen smiled and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Nashon. I know what I'm capable of, so please stop teasing me."Shingen didn't want to waste his breath anymore, and immediately steered the conversation to the topic of the day."Since the Xavier family has invited me to Wolsing for a marriage proposal, I wonder if my possible fiancee is already here? I'm not exactly particular about this, but I don't believe I'm asking too much if I wish to see the woman who's going to be my wife earlier, right?""Of course not, of course not." Nashon laughed and waved his hand. "Jesse, ask your sister to come out here."Jesse smiled and left. After a while, Yvonne appeared in front of all of them while wearing a white traditional dress. She didn't wear any makeu
"Sir, while the blood of the Xavier family does flow within my veins, the Shaw family is the one that raised me. I'm afraid not even I can decide who to marry. Only the Shaws have the right to decide that for me. "It doesn't matter how I look at it. The Xaviers have no right to do this… Especially when you're asking me to marry an Islander. You're dreaming!"With that, Yvonne added determinedly, "You want me to marry him? Over my dead body!"When Nashon heard what Yvonne had to say, his expression darkened. "Yvonne, don't forget that this is part of our deal. The family has used our yearly privilege to assist you in helping that man and used our men in Dragon Cell to silence the critics. And now, you wish to turn your back on us?"I can make Harvey innocent, but I can also make him guilty. Whether he's innocent or guilty is in your hands. That's why I must ask you to reconsider before speaking another word."Yvonne spat coldly, "If I have to marry an Islander to make free Harve
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the
“Sir, I’ll report to the chief immediately. You…” “Don’t try to bargain with me. Otherwise, I’ll ruin the entire York Enterprise!”Before the person at the other end of the phone could speak, Harvey hung up the phone immediately.... In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich. At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now. Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…” “Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush
