“Right! For old times’ sake, I’ll take a few pictures for you to expand your chances.”Harvey York replied coldly, “Pictures of you being servants?”Quinn’s eyes twitched. She paused, and then hissed icily, “You think I’d care about some nonsense from a homeless dog?”Harvey couldn’t care less about these people. He picked up a copy of the contract and turned toward Mandy.“Dear, let’s go.”After Mandy and her family exited the Zimmer Household, Lilian grabbed Harvey York’s collar and shouted at him.“Harvey! What right do you have to sign the contract in our place?!”“Do you feel better if everyone begs for food like you?!”Harvey York comforted her, “Rest assured. With Mandy around, you can still enjoy wealth and glory.”Simon Zimmer exhaled sharply.“Harvey, can you not be so naive? We relied on the Zimmers for Mandy to succeed!”“What can we still rely on now that we’ve left the Zimmers and Mandy’s lost her position of CEO?”Harvey York replied with a laugh, “Dad, you’r
“From today onward, the Zimmers will enter the threshold of a first-rated family!”“Everyone, please come by the Zimmers’ for drinks tonight…!”The wealthy were cunning. When they heard this, they burst into loud congratulations. They even brought their entire families to congratulate Quinn and the rest of the Zimmers.Everyone was busy admiring them.They all knew about Prince York’s proposal.They were filled with jealousy and admiration as they looked at Quinn, the undoubted protagonist of the show. This was the equivalent of achieving the highest rank with the least work and effortlessly reaching the top!Under these circumstances, the scene was extremely crowded as if they were celebrities going out of their homes.Yet, just as the Zimmers neared the Lexuses… All of the cars turned around and left.“What happened?!”“Tell them to stop!”“Didn’t they see their bride isn’t even in the car yet?!”The Zimmers were all shocked beyond belief. After a brief moment, they sn
Originally, they wanted to use Mandy Zimmer’s identity to enter the ceremony.Yet as soon as they had gotten out of the car, someone handed them an invitation card?What was going on?Mandy looked at Harvey, perplexed. “You didn’t plan this, did you?”Harvey York frowned. He did not ask for anyone to hand them an invitation.But he simply shook his head and said, “It wasn’t me. Besides, we wouldn’t need one to enter anyway.”Simon and Lilian looked at Harvey with exhilaration before, but at what he said, they exhaled sharply. ‘Of course!’‘Just say that it wasn’t you and stop spouting nonsense!’“Heh, of course it wasn’t this filth.”A burst of laughter echoed at that moment.A chubby man with big ears got out of a Mercedes Benz and walked towards the family.Seeing him, Mandy frowned instantly. He wasn’t just anyone. He was the man that Felix Howard introduced to her before, Stanley Robbins from the Robbins family.“This is…”Lilian Yates’ eyes lit up after knowing th
“From today onward, your family’s problems are my family’s problems!”“The Robbins family may be just a first-rated family, but even the top rated families would have to think twice before crossing us!”“Now, let us attend this grand ceremony!”“But…there’s only three spots in the invitation. I’m afraid the beggar might not have the right to be inside.”Stanley pointed at Harvey York, then hugged his own arms as if he had won a battle.Lilian said coldly, “He’s just some filth. He acted on his own, signing the paper and dragging the whole family down with him!”“We should let people like him rot all by himself! No need to bat him an eye!”“Mandy! Let’s go, we should head inside!”Simon and Lilian looked like they were ready to ditch Harvey.The sight made Mandy frown even more deeply. “Father, mother. You can go if you want to. I’m not going, I’m staying with Harvey.”Stanley then smiled and said, “Mrs. Zimmer, I know that you have the heart of a saint. You won’t leave that
Some moments later, Mandy murmured in a disappointed tone, “Let’s just go home.”She didn’t expect Harvey would still talk big after things had gotten to this point. He wasn’t grounded to reality at all.Initially Mandy pitied him, but now she only felt disappointment. How was it that her live-in husband was incapable of anything except boasting?Harvey, however, looked at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard behind him and said, “We can’t leave yet. Mom and dad will need us later.”Mandy cupped her face and let out a huge sigh.“Harvey…where did you get all your confidence from?”“What are you planning now? Are you going to ask for help from Ms. Xavier again?”“You do realize you can't ask her for favors all the time, right?”“And have you ever thought about me when you go looking for another woman the moment you get into trouble?”“Don’t you think I’ll be ashamed?”“Oh, whatever! Fine, let’s wait here since you said that Father and Mother would be in trouble soon.”On the o
If Mandy would just compare Stanley to Harvey, she could easily come to a decision.Simon then said, “Actually, we’ve been thinking of kicking Harvey out of our family!”“It’s been three whole years since they’re married. Their marriage has always lacked substance!”“For a long time, all sorts of mishaps stopped them from divorcing! It’s such a shame.”“But this time, I won’t let it go that easily!”Stanley was at ease after hearing this.His reasons for wanting to marry Mandy wasn’t just because of her good looks. He also wanted to be acquainted with the Yateses.It was true that in terms of power, the Yates family might be the weakest out of Buckwood’s five first-rated families.However, the fact remained that they were a family of government officials.For Stanley, his rank in the eyes of the other Robbins would surely rise if he could become a grandson-in-law of the Yates family.This was the prime reason behind his determination. As the three were busy laughing and gos
The three were completely surrounded.One of the guards placed a hand on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, as if he was facing an enemy.“Since you dare fake an invitation, I will assume you have ulterior motives. You’ll be sent to the authorities later!”Feeling the murderous intent emanating from the guards, Stanley and the others could barely control their bowels. It looked as though these men were close to unsheathing their blades.Stanley, who was born with a silver spoon, had never faced a scenario like this.He immediately gave in.“It’s my fault, it’s my fault! We’ll leave immediately!”The guard could only laugh humorlessly.“Leave? This is the site of Prince York’s engagement ceremony! Obviously, the security here is of the highest level!”“You handed over a fake invitation and caused a huge ruckus. Now you’re trying to escape? I have to question your actual goal!”“Let me be frank. All of us here are soldiers from the Sword Camp. Lieutenant Colonel Ethan
Lilian Yates pointed wordlessly at Stanley, unable to say anything.Simon was hyperventilating, all too clear about the severity of the situation.Anyone who dared to use a fake invitation at a ceremony hosted by Prince York was seeking death!“Enough, stop fighting!”The staff were scowling.“If you can’t tell us where you got the fake invitation, then we’ll put you behind bars!”“I… I… I…!”Lilian was unable to muster a coherent reply.Simon looked as if he ate a bitter gourd.Never in their wildest dreams did they anticipate something like this would happen. They hadn’t prepared any excuses to get out of this mess.They had no clue how to explain their situation.The staff member was already quite impatient. Everything that happened at the Head Coach’s ceremony was his responsibility, after all!He wanted to deal with the problems as swiftly as possible. At this moment, a thought crossed over Stanley’s mind. He glanced at Simon and Lilian. “Uncle, Aunty. I know both
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
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
