After waiting for Harvey York to leave, Ray set his razor-like eyes onto Roxanne Barr and the rest of them.Roxanne, Felix Howard, Brody Jenner, and the rest all lowered their heads, dared not to speak at all. They couldn’t even breathe properly.Ray landed his sight on Roxanne and asked casually, “Which hand was it?”Although Ray didn’t say anything, Roxanne instantly knew what he was talking about. At that moment, she could only reach her trembling right hand out and said with a shaky voice, “This hand.”“Seeing how you’re a woman, ten slaps will do,” Ray announced.“Smack!”Roxanne didn’t dare to defend herself at all or blabber any more nonsense as she gave herself a big slap.The slap was so strong that her cheek instantly turned swollen and all red.Because Roxanne knew very well if she didn’t satisfy Ray well enough, she would have an even worse ending for herself.Ray didn’t bother to look at Roxanne anymore as he turned to Brody and the rest and said, “You all are men
Hearing that, Quinn sniggered sweetly and said, “Grandpa is teaching the right thing, we should always be kind to everyone, you all heard what grandpa said, kneel with your heads on the floor!”Mandy Zimmer replied coldly, “We entered the door through the proper channel. Why should we kneel down for you?”Quinn sneered with a ‘pfft’ and said, “Okay then, even if you did enter with the proper channel, but didn’t you all forget? I am the mistress of this place. Now I order you to kneel before us with your heads on the floor!”“If you don’t, I’ll make your lives hard after Prince York proposes to me!”With that, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were full of worry.Although Harvey York might have some status, how would he be even compared to Prince York?Prince York was the legend of the South Light. He would only have to move his lips if he wanted to make someone suffer!And based on Quinn’s personality, she really would do such a thing.Right at that moment, a few servants walked ov
“So then, let us deliver our utmost genuine blessings to Prince York and his woman!”With that, thunderous applause erupted in the hall without stopping. Everyone was all excited, waiting to see the real faces of that couple.To be fancied by Prince York and be his woman was definitely as lucky and straightforward as your ancestral grave emitting smoke.There were rumors previously about how it would be the daughter of the Zimmer family. Most of the people didn’t believe it.Now everyone was waiting to see who would be the heroine today!Right then, Ray clapped once, accompanied by eighteen workers in white suits strode out from the backstage.These workers were all soldiers from the Sword’s Army camp, plus every one of them were from respective distinguished families of the great Country H. Thus, they had such noble and dominant air that it was astonishing.Even though they weren’t in army suits, they’re still standing strong and handsome there.This made everyone couldn’t hel
“Hum…”At this moment, Quinn Zimmer felt that her brain was going to blow up.She was not the woman that Prince York had a crush on originally.She was in a daze at that moment. Her eyes unconsciously fell on Mandy Zimmer, and her body could not help but tremble in the next moment.Mandy?!Could it be that Mandy was the one that Prince York was about to propose to?If that was the case, she might as well die!At this moment, Quinn just wanted to die, hitting her head to the ground. Unfortunately, she could not muster the courage to do so.Mandy was confused at the moment. She could not wrap her head around what had happened.Meanwhile, Ray Hart stepped forward and walked in front of Mandy. He bowed again, ninety degrees, and said respectfully, “Sister-in-law, please accept Prince York’s proposal!“These are some gifts that Prince York prepared for you today!“A villa at the foot of Silver Nimbus Mountain!“A Rolls-Royce Phantom!“Cash amounting to one hundred and thirty-fo
Moreover, Mandy Zimmer would have never guessed that the person that Ray Hart mentioned was standing just next to her at this moment, waiting for her answer.She took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.Mandy smiled slightly at the next moment and said, “Sir Ray, I truly appreciate Prince York’s gesture!“However, please go back and inform him that I’m not suitable for him. So, I refuse.”Bang…It was as if thunder had struck the ground.The whole crowd was stunned.Everyone had petrified expressions on their faces. They were in total disbelief.How many young girls would want to get married to a famous and rich man nowadays?How many girls would want to marry into a wealthy family and live in luxury?However, Mandy refused.This was impossible!Many women present there had distorted faces. They could not wait to replace Mandy’s place at that moment.Ray was also stunned with her answer. He unconsciously glanced at Harvey and then quickly asked, “Sister-in-l
“Even if it means living on the lap of luxury, it’s not what I really want.”Harvey York slightly smiled and muttered in a voice only he could hear, “In that case, then I’m going to make a woman out of you and let you become a big shot.“In this way, identity would not become a hindrance between you and me.“Moreover, I believe that the relationship between the two of us will get better and better…”At this moment, Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer finally came to their senses.Both of them were in a state of bewilderment just now.After all, they had just experienced the biggest ups and downs of their lives today. It was already quite good that they were able to come around now.Meanwhile, Lilian glared at Mandy and shouted in a low voice, “Mandy, how can you be so silly?!“This is an opportunity that many people can’t ask for!“However, you’ve wasted it when it came before your eyes!”Speaking of this, Lilian kept her hand over her chest. There was nothing she could do. She was
With such development, they could not stand observing the ceremony now!Otherwise, it would surely drive them crazy!Seeing Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates insisted on leaving, Mandy had no choice but to leave together with them.Although Harvey still had something to do, he could only stand up at the moment and followed them to the gate of Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard.Unexpectedly, as Mandy and her family walked out, the people from the Zimmer family, who had been thrown out earlier, suddenly walked over from the side of the road.“What do you want to do? Our family has nothing to do with the Zimmer family anymore!”Mandy thought that Senior Zimmer and the others were coming for her and her family. She immediately stood in front of both Simon and Lilian protectively. Senior Zimmer then clarified.“Mandy, it was Grandfather who was wrong before! I had been deceived by this foolish woman, Quinn Zimmer!” Senior Zimmer was trying to force a smile as he said those words.“I’m going
However, if Senior Zimmer’s behavior could let Mandy Zimmer do the right thing, they certainly had no objection.Mandy, who was hesitating a little initially, had a change in her expression at this moment. She said slowly after a while, “Grandfather, are you insinuating that the condition for returning to the Zimmer family is to divorce Harvey and then marry Prince York?!”Senior Zimmer smiled and said, “Mandy, don’t talk nonsense. Grandfather is doing this for your sake!”Mandy’s expression instantly became extremely cold. She then said coldly, “Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry, I can’t agree to your conditions.“Since we have signed the agreement, then we have nothing to do with the Zimmer family anymore!”Mandy no longer looked at Senior Zimmer after finished speaking. She then just turned and left.She was so disappointed at this moment. She finally saw the truth.The Zimmer family did not care about the affection between each other. All they cared about was their own interests.If
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
