"It has nothing to do with pity. However, the Xavier family is still a reputable family. If you do something like this before your marriage, even if it's just with an illegitimate daughter of ours, it is enough to damage our reputation," Nashon said with a sigh."For my sake, please don't touch her for now. Once she has married into your family, we won't complain no matter what you want to do to her. Once a woman marries into your family, she is your responsibility, so you have my permission to do whatever you wish. We are all members of high society, so you have to show us this much respect at least."Shingen looked at Nashon, whose face was stern. After a moment, he chuckled. "Fine. I'll let this be for your sake, Mr. Nashon. However, Selene's Blessing has no cure. Let her drink three glasses of amaranth beer each day to suppress the effects of the drugs. The effects of the drugs would compound and burst the day she stopped drinking the beer."However, I believe that day is also
"Testing you?" Jesse muttered under his breath, stunned.Nashon stood up, walked next to the window, and looked at the garden for a while. "None of the Islanders are simple. Often, we have to make costly sacrifices if we want to gain their trust. Shingen must be very suspicious of us offering him a marriage. He thinks we're up to some schemes or this is in preparation for something else."Meanwhile, the Shinto Way requires the help of our family to enter our country. However, he needs to be on his guard in case we're up to no good. That's why we had this performance today. "If I'm someone who values family ties, then he will be sure I won't betray my country for some benefits. But if all I care about is profit and care little for family, it will make me the best partner for him. That's why I'm saying that instead of confirming the date of marriage, he's here to decide if he wants to work with us."Nashon explained all his conjectures one by one, and it was enough to stop Jesse i
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
“Don?”Harvey was stunned for a moment. He then smiled, ‘This guy is just a dog raised by the York Enterprise. It was only a matter of time before he got kicked out.’“Mother, I won’t get a divorce. Even if we are getting a divorce, this is none of your business. I hope you don’t interfere in our affair.” Harvey laughed and said this sentence before riding on his beloved electric bike and left.“Harvey, you’re nothing!” Lilian shuddered with anger. She had almost driven over Harvey with her car. However, she could only suppress her anger and quickly left after seeing a crowd surrounding them.…Mandy walked to the front desk of the company during after-hours.She then saw two girls laughing while saying something and many employees were watching.“Miss Zimmer’s husband is a loser. He said that he would give her roses from Prague. How dare he say that? Didn’t he look at himself in the mirror? Not to mention that he rode an electric bike, even his slippers were broken. A guy like
