Harvey York smiled faintly. He was indifferent about Quinn Zimmer’s hatred toward him.Quinn Zimmer’s confidence came from her mediocre looks.A shame that she was only a little good-looking. Her beauty could not be compared to Mandy’s, which would topple buildings.For wealthy people, a woman like Quinn Zimmer would at most be a toy for them.She could only dream of marrying into a wealthy family at most.***In Hong Kong, the sea breeze from Victoria Harbor blew toward Taiping Mountaintop.The mountain that only wealthy people could stay in did not have any winds blowing over for many years.The top villa in the Taiping Mountaintop was considered the peak of the mountain itself.The villa was able to overlook Hong Kong’s entirety as if it had control over the families that reside within.In reality, the Leo family did have the right to do so.As one of the top four families in Hong Kong, the Leo family’s power would be far beyond an ordinary man’s imagination!The people
“All hail the matriarch!”Along with the sounds of cheering, the Leo family’s transfer of power was successful!Melissa Leo had planned this for ten whole. She had the force akin to a rolling thunder when she returned to reclaim the Leo family’s authority.***At the top villa of Taiping Mountaintop.Quinton York looked at his left palm, the freckles on his palm seemed like they changed.He instinctively put down his palm when Melissa Leo walked up behind him.“Having ambition is not a bad thing, but with only ambition and no planning—no method of achieving a decisive victory—that ambition will only burn you in the long run,” Melissa Leo looked at Victoria Harbor from afar as she spoke eloquently.Quinton York was showing a hint of perplexity, then bowed soon after.“Everything that I have right now was given to me by you. I would never dare to mention ambition in front of you.”Melissa Leo smiled and calmly replied, “In your eyes, do you think that today’s efforts were succe
At Buckwood.The next day, Senior Zimmer, Zack Zimmer, and Quinn Zimmer all showed up at The Gardens Residence.All of them were holding property deeds, large amounts of jewelry, and lots of cash, among other possessions.Those things were about to be handed over to Mandy Zimmer.Just by looking at the sight filled Quinn with hatred.All of this should be hers, but all of it would be Mandy’s soon.She was resentful!On the other hand, Zack said sternly, “Grandfather, we sold off all property we had—but it was still not sufficient.”Selling off cars and houses within a short time was only possible to be sold at low prices.It was still not enough to gather the amount that they spent even with their savings and possessions.Senior Zimmer looked like he had grown ten years older.He let out a sigh.“We still have to come here. We can only hope that Mandy helps us fabricate the truth for the sake of us being family before.“If not, I’m afraid we won’t even have the capacity to
On the rooftop of Gardens Residence.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were already anxiously waiting in the hall.It was as if the gifts actually belonged to them.Soon after the doorbell rang, Lilian did not even lounge around and immediately rushed toward the door.Just as if the gifts would suddenly fly away if she went any slower.“Simon, Lilian…”Senior Zimmer crossed his arms and came in the door warm-heartedly.He had been a part of the Zimmers for most of his life. After all, Simon and Lilian were subconsciously scared of him because of it.They both stopped their movements when they saw his figure.“Simon, where’s Mandy?” Senior Zimmer asked calmly after seeing the two froze over.Lilian came back to her senses after hearing his question. Her gaze then shifted toward the items that were in Quinn Zimmer and Zack Zimmer’s hands. Her eyes lit up soon after.“Mandy went to the office. You can just hand me the things.”Lilian did not even give the others time to speak up.
Zack Zimmer’s face had lost all color after hearing what Harvey York said.On the other hand, Senior Zimmer’s face had turned as dark as night.They all knew that Mandy Zimmer was extremely generous. She always had a sharp tongue with a kind heart.Pleading in front of her would usually work more or less to their advantage.But Harvey was in charge of the situation in her place that day. What are they going to do?“Lilian, is your house letting a live-in son-in-law be in charge now?”Senior Zimmer cleared out his throat.Naturally, he wanted to provoke the relationship between Lilian Yates and Harvey York. That way, they could take advantage of the situation.Lilian did not have the mood to scold Harvey even at that moment. She thoroughly checked the jewelry once, then looked at the money present. Her expressions then changed.“Patriarch Zimmer, this isn’t the right amount now, is it?“Compared to the gift list that Sir Ray provided us, excluding the villa, you’re missing at
Harvey spoke up calmly, “Mom, listen to the rest of my words first.”At his words, Lilian calmed herself slightly. “Fine. If you don’t have a good reason, I won’t let you rest easy!”Senior Zimmer, Zack, and Quinn exchanged brief glances and saw the anxiety in each other’s eyes.All of them assumed that Harvey was plotting something in secret. Harvey continued, “From what I know, there’s still some of you who haven’t sold off your properties yet.”“That’s bullshit!” Zack was the first to argue, but in truth he had yet to sell one of the houses in his possession. Quinn’s expression changed as well. She had hidden some jewelleries for herself in secret.The Zimmers were too used to their selfishness. How would it be possible for them to give up their valuables for the sake of the whole family?For them to hand over a portion of their possessions was already good enough!Only Senior Zimmer still had his eyebrows knitted together. He knew Harvey wouldn’t be so kind.“Listen to
Even though the Zimmers were leaving, it was obvious that Zack refused to see Mandy and Harvey live well. He wanted to drive a wedge between the two of them.Harvey couldn’t be bothered, and simply shrugged in response. “Casting a stone between us is no use. If you really hate me that much, then I earnestly wait for the day you can return to take revenge upon me.”Zack clenched his teeth hard, trying to appear dignified. Ultimately, he failed and ended up grabbing all the money on the floor before scampering away under Harvey’s aloof gaze. …After returning to Zimmer Mansion, Senior Zimmer stared blankly at the now empty mansion.After this day, he would have to leave this place. Right now, the Zimmer family could only be described as monkeys that were scattered when their tree fell.Zack put away the money he had picked up carefully before throwing a meaningful gaze at Senior Zimmer, preparing to leave.Quinn was the same.All of a sudden, Senior Zimmer barked out, “Don’t le
At the Silver Nimbus Resort project construction site.Staring at the construction site before her, Mandy was all worried and gloomy.There were no other problems plaguing the resort project’s construction site. Plus, with Old Niner and his people on watch, no thug would dare come and destroy the site.Unfortunately, the project had to be stopped temporarily as an issue with the supply of raw materials had arisen out of the blue.Mandy called her secretary, her eyebrows knitted together in frustration as she spoke. “Cash out thirty thousand dollars from the finance department and distribute a hundred and fifty dollars for every worker as reward. Have them rest for a few days and wait for my announcement to return to work.”The secretary nodded, but she still asked in worry, “CEO Mandy, it’s almost winter now.”“Winter is South Light brings the cold north wind. wThe worker’s efficiency will be reduced.”“If we can’t finish constructing the whole framework before autumn ends, I’m
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
