“Young Master York, I apologize for what happened just now. Take the 1.5 million dollars as compensation for this young lady.” Shane Naiswell smiled, handing a check to Xynthia Zimmer.Xynthia glanced at Harvey, but did not reach out her hand.Harvey said indifferently, “Take it. You deserve it. If you refuse to take it, I’m afraid Master Naiswell won’t be able to sleep tonight.”Xynthia nodded and accepted the check.The staff who followed Shane were all dumbfounded.Who was this man?He treated and talked to Shane Naiswell as though Shane was just your average Joe.Most importantly, Shane did not refute the words he spoke.What was that supposed to mean?This was a clear indication that his status was certainly higher than Shane Naiswell.In front of him, Shane held a station equivalent to that of a younger brother!The staff had followed Shane for many years, and had seen the ways of the outside world.However, at the moment, they couldn’t recall if there was a young man
In the Zimmer family.Since Mandy Zimmer’s Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project was flourishing, she now held sway among the Zimmers and they took her words seriously. Besides, the Silva family was no longer. Zack Zimmer could not find a new backer in such a short time. Thus, no one in the Zimmer family was giving Mandy any problems. Everything was in order.On this day, an invitation letter was sent to the Zimmer family by a man in a suit.In the Zimmer Villa, Senior Zimmer studied the contents of the invitation letter. He said excitedly, “Hurry! Hurry up, call Simon and his family here!”Soon, Simon Zimmer and his family came, including Harvey York.Senior Zimmer took out the invitation letter and said with a smile, “Simon, Lilian!”“Look at this! It’s an invitation from the Yates family, a first-class family in Buckwood!”“They’re inviting us Zimmers to their family’s birthday banquet!”Senior Zimmer’s gaze on Lilian Yates was a little different when he spoke.In the pas
Lilian Yates stood up at this moment. She pointed an angry finger at Zack Zimmer and exclaimed, “Stop stirring up trouble here. My sister already mentioned before that my family is allowed to join Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet!”“This invitation is clearly for us!”“Okay, okay. Stop arguing!” Senior Zimmer said indifferently.“Just look at the letterhead of the invitation card.”Then, he flipped open the invitation card with an excited look.A group of Zimmers subconsciously came over for a peek.“The Zimmer family” was written on the letterhead.Zack Zimmer laughed after seeing the three words. “See, Grandfather! What I said was right. The Yates family is surely coming after the Zimmer family, not after someone!”Senior Zimmer added with satisfaction, “Not bad. It’s exactly as Zack had said.”“The Yates family reserved ten seats for us at the birthday banquet. If it’s only for your family, then at most, they’ll just give you five seats.”In truth, Senior Zimmer did not kno
Senior Zimmer gazed deeply at Mandy Zimmer. After thinking about it, he finally said, “Mandy if you have time, go and sort out the recent carrying value and the progress of the project. Send it to me, I would like to have a look.”Mandy knew that Senior Zimmer was using this as an excuse to intervene in the affairs of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project.However, Senior Zimmer’s request was quite reasonable. She could not refuse at all. She could only slightly nod, her expression unpleasant. Zack Zimmer glanced at Mandy with a complacent stare.‘Since Grandfather is willing to make a move and I can’t take you down today, there are still many chances in the future.’“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let’s see who is going to attend the Yates family’s birthday banquet this time.” Senior Zimmer waved his hand. Now, it was time for him to demonstrate his authority.In truth, he did not expect this. He wondered why the Zimmer family was able to receive this invitation.Did th
At Zack Zimmer’s taunts, Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If I want to go, of course, I can go. If I don’t, no one can force me to.”Zack sneered, “You’re so good at bragging. Then you should go! If you can attend the birthday banquet, I will kneel in front of you!”Harvey laughed. “It’s not like you didn’t do that before. I’m not interested.”“You, you, you…!” Zack recalled the Antique Fair in Niumhi and his complexion worsened.Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and said, “Harvey, this is different from the past. At that time, you did a bit of power. That’s why the Naiswells invited you to the Antique Fair!”“The birthday banquet this time isn’t the same. It’s held by the Yates family, the first-class family in the provincial capital!”“The chief of the Yates family is the third-in-command in South Light!”“Such a family wouldn’t invite you just because you have a bit of ability!”“I initially thought that Mandy could be a representative of your family and attend the birthda
Lilian Yates immediately grew furious at Harvey’s remark. Glaring at him, she screamed, “Didn’t I just say it?!”“My brother is the head of the Yates family and the third-in-command in South Light!”“Are you saying that the third-in-command in South Light will personally come and send you the invitation card?”“Yes.” Harvey said indifferently, “I initially refused, but now, since Mandy wants to go, I’ll let him come.”Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer were both enraged.They had seen people bragging, but never to such an extent.It was just, Harvey’s lies seemed so close to the truth.Lilian did not even have the mood to get angry at this moment. Instead, she glanced at Mandy and said, “Mandy, as your mother, I kindly persuade you again. This kind of liar can only talk big without doing things practically. You should have kicked him out long ago!”Simon also left, lamenting. He was destined to have a miserable life in the next half of his life for getting involved with such a worth
In Buckwood Hotel.Although this place was not famous, it was not opened to the public. Instead, it was just a place used to entertain foreign guests and investors.This was where Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet was hosted.With this, we could also see the Yatese’ status in Buckwood.Today, the roads in this place were blocked by the police. Many of them were patrolling the surrounding area.Except for those with the invitation cards, no one else was permitted to access this area.It was said that even the waiters engaging in the internal services were specially and carefully selected. This was sufficient to further illustrate the influence of the Yates family in Buckwood.Luxury cars entered the hotel’s parking lot one after another. Those who exited these cars at the front of the hotel were all big shots from Buckwood’s elites.There were several figures from the business circles, as well. After all, the Yateses were an aristocratic family.Among these people, the Zimmer fam
“Father, we’re here to attend the birthday banquet. We have an invitation card.” Simon Zimmer said, gritting his teeth slightly.Simon couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was telling the truth, but he couldn't back down right now!“Oh? You have an invitation card?” Zack Zimmer laughed. “Then show it to us!” “This…”Simon automatically glanced at Harvey York.“Harvey said…”“What did he say?” Zack smiled.“Could it be that he told you he asked someone to send the invitation card here and let you come over?”“Yes.” Simon replied.“Pfft! Hahaha…”In the next second, the Zimmers roared with laughter. How could Simon and his family believe in Harvey’s clumsy lie?This was so funny!Senior Zimmer looked at Simon and said, “You’re still so stupid. I shouldn’t have brought your family to Buckwood back then. I truly feel ashamed!”It was apparent that Senior Zimmer had forgotten why the Zimmer family was able to come to Buckwood in the first placeFeeling the mocking gazes and merc
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
