“Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer, you’re both here. This is your invitation, please keep it well.”Yvonne Xavier handed the invitation to Harvey York respectfully. Then, she turned around and left.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were shocked beyond belief.‘Someone actually did send an invitation!’The Zimmers were also dumbstruck by this turn of events. Harvey York was not boasting, someone really did turn up to give an invitation!And the person was none other than Yvonne Xavier of Sky Corporation!What an honor!While Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were still numb with shock, their family was respectfully invited into the banquet.The banquet was extremely crowded, and the spacious hall was flooded by people.Mandy Zimmer paid no attention to the full hall. Instead, she turned to flash Harvey a stern look. “Harvey, listen to me!”“Huh? Aren’t we already inside?”Harvey York was perplexed.‘We’re already in, what’s the problem now?’Mandy Zimmer told him seriously, “It’s true Miss
“Mother, brother!”Lilian was holding back her tears of joy. Finally, after being away from her family for so long, she was able to return to them!Simon was excited as well. He wanted to greet the family.His eyes lit up even more brightly after seeing Keith Yates.If he could be acquainted with this man, then his status in the Zimmers’ family would be solidified in the future.But before he could even utter a single word, Keith Yates simply nodded his head curtly.Grandma Yates, for her part, let out a cold harrumph. She glanced briefly at Mandy and her family, and then closed her eyes.Simon and Lilian were shocked.This was the best example of a cold shoulder!Embarrassing! Truly embarrassing!Keith Yates’ manners were still tolerable in Lilian Yates’ eyes.Naturally, her brother had barely accepted herself as family. As for her own mother, the old woman still needed a lot more time.If it weren’t for the fact that today was Grandma Yates’s birthday banquet, the old wom
At Harvey’s words, everyone flashed him looks of disgust.Especially Lilian, whose face was now as dark as night.She understood the kind of person that her mother was.Back when Lilian married Simon, he was still an ambitious man. Even then, Grandma Yates wanted to choke Lilian to death for her choice.Now that Mandy Zimmer’s husband said something that shameless, there was no way to make Grandma Yates look up to the family again.As predicted, Grandma Yates exhaled quietly, then spun on her heels and left. She didn’t even bat an eye at Mandy Zimmer’s family as she went away.Keith Yates glared at Harvey York coldly, then turned around and left as well.Since Mandy Zimmer was very capable in the eyes of the Yateses, they could accept her as a relative.But as she had married a man like Harvey, the whole family had to reconsider if they should actually accept her.“It’s fine, brother-in-law. Grandma Yates usually has a bad temper. It’ll be fine after a while,” Xynthia Zimmer t
After a long while, Simon stood up shakily and put his hands around Lilian. “Honey, don’t cry. We don’t even know what’s inside yet, what if it’s something good?!”“Something good? How can it possibly be good?!”Lilian's face had lost all color.“I only hope that it’s some sort of crystal or antique! If it’s something ordinary…”Lilian was on the verge of passing out again as she spoke..There was finally a chance to reconcile with Grandma Yates after all these years. If this filth Harvey York actually caused her to lose it, she might actually die of anger!Soon, the birthday banquet was about to begin.However, most of the VIP guests who were supposed to attend had not arrived yet.These people were all basically big shots of South Light and Buckwood’s government.Keith Yates may be the third-in-command of South Light and has a very high status in the government, but it was the big shots who held the real power. Their authority was not inferior to his.When the others paid
While everyone was gossiping about, several men in uniforms strode gracefully into the banquet hall.A young man led them. He looked around about twenty-seven or eight years, but carried the grace of an elite.This was Keith’s son and Mandy’s cousin, Finn Yates.He was a captain-level inspector at Buckwood Police Station, and thus possessed a degree of authority in Buckwood.He entered the hall, followed by his men, looking exhilarated.“Grandmother, father. Let me introduce you, this is the second-in-command of Buckwood Police Station, Deputy Inspector Greg Finch. This is the third-in-command, Kevin Caulfield…”Finn introduced seven to eight Buckwood Police Station higher ups. These figures were all one or two levels above him.However, the chief inspector was not present.These higher ups all respected Finn Yates.Under Finn’s lead, every one of them presented their gifts and congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish Grandma Yates fortune that spread across the seas and a life
The reality was, Simon and Lilian had the lowest ranking out of everyone in the Yates family.Needless to say, Keith Yates was South Light’s third-in-command. He had a high status and immense power.His son was about to be the deputy inspector of Buckwood Police Station, a young and promising man.As for Tanya Yates, she was establishing her own business. Although it wasn’t anything major, she would earn thousands of dollars per year.Leyton Luv, on the other hand, was the vice president of Buckwood Bank. He, too, had immense power and high status. In fact, countless people constantly sought his help.Compared to them all, Simon and Lilian were nothing. They were but a bunch of clowns.Mandy Zimmer was able to make a good impression before, but she ultimately failed because of Harvey York.Right now, Simon and Lilian were ashamed beyond belief.Suddenly, sounds rang from outside the hall door.A few middle-aged men walked in with big steps. The man at the very front wore a smi
The crowd went wild after hearing this and started to gossip frantically.Finn Yates’ identity was already so extraordinary. How much better would someone he personally praised be?A bewildered guest asked, “Didn’t the Yates family say that Finn is the most talented young man in his generation? Is there another brother-in-law that’s just as capable?”“How could it be possible for a granddaughter of the Yateses family to marry an ordinary person? No matter what, she’d definitely pick a wealthy and powerful man, right?”The crowds’ gazes shifted around, finally landing on Harvey York. At the sight of him, they began to tremble.“This man, his mannerisms…!”The Zimmers, who were in the crowd, all looked terribly anxious. When they heard the gossip, they exchanged glances and burst into quiet chuckles. Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth as she laughed. “Grandfather, now I finally know why the Yateses looked up to Mandy and her family!”“Harvey must have boasted up a storm!”“The Yate
At this very moment, Mandy Zimmer’s face had lost all color. She had no idea that word had spread this far.She didn’t know how to reply to Finn’s remark. When she finally came to her senses and was about to take a step forward to correct the misunderstanding, Harvey York suddenly cut her off.“Brother-in-law, I am indeed Prince York.”To Harvey York, it was fine if the Yates family knew of his true identity. He could even take a peek at their reactions.Hiss!The crowd sucked in a sharp breath of air right there and then.‘Is this man really Prince York?’‘He’s the man who controlled the Yorks and built a million-dollar company on his own!’‘The Yates family are about to be filthy rich!’Right now, Finn had no other thoughts.“Oh, good brother-in-law! The Yates family is in your hands! In the future, we will need you to support all of us!”Keith Yates had a profound look in his eyes.If the man in front of him really was Prince York, then the Yatese family should really
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
