“Rest assured, Sir Ray. I only need three days to be done with preliminary preparations.” Halsey said with a serious tone.She heard Ray say that Prince York would supervise her project.She was happy and excited.Maybe she could finally see Prince York!“Hmph! Harvey, you said yourself that Prince York doesn’t look up to me, and that he already has a woman he likes!”“But he must really like me if he’s willing to supervise me!”Halsey then asked with a hint of curiosity, “Sir Ray, when will the Prince come over to San Francisco? Can I meet him?”Ray chuckled.“What’s the rush? He’s quite busy these past few days, but he’ll surely reward you himself if you handle this project well.”“When that happens, there won’t be a need to arrange any meetings.”Halsey gave herself a silent encouragement after hearing Ray’s words.‘Oh, Halsey! This is the chance to get the man of your dreams!’Halsey was hands-on with site selection and project establishment.The higher-ups in the comp
Queenie York chuckled lightly. She really liked Sam Baker’s attitude. He understood his gains and losses full well.People like this were usually capable and ambitious.And she liked using people like him the most.“I’m sure that you’ve heard of Sky Corporation, yes?” Queenie retracted her finger, smiling gently.Sam still didn’t dare to open her eyes. He said attentively, “I’ve heard of it. Their branch in San Francisco is planning to reintegrate assets in Gangnam, and they wanted to build a brand new shopping mall in the heart of San Francisco.”Queenie then replied, “I hope that their shopping mall will never be built, forever.”“Of course!”Sam Baker did not question her any further. His head was still bowed to the ground.Some time later, when the footsteps grew further away, he opened his eyes slowly. A dark expression was on his face.“A storm is coming to San Francisco, but this might be an opportunity for the Bakers. Sky Corporation…interesting.”Sam Baker muttered
Harvey did not care for Jimmy, and immediately started to flip through the pages of the contract.Slap!Jimmy’s lackeys walked up and slapped Harvey’s contract to the ground. They shouted fiercely, “Are you signing or not? If you don’t, you won’t be getting out of these doors alive!”Harvey chuckled.“Are you trying to force a buy here?”Jimmy smoked his cigar and calmly replied, “Brother, you can’t be spouting out nonsense whenever you want. I’m a real businessman. How could I force a deal on you? I just don’t really like playing around too much.”“Sign the contract already while I’m still in a good mood.”Harvey did not care about Jimmy.Ray picked up the contract and went through it swiftly. His expression immediately changed and he quietly whispered, “Sir York, this contract isn’t right.”“The price that we agreed on was seven hundred and fifty million dollars, but there was another zero added to this contract, it’s seven billion and five hundred million dollars now.”The
Jimmy replied innocently, “Everyone, this isn’t about me acknowledging the payment or not. I don’t even know what’s going on here!”“I didn’t even talk to you all about this yesterday, nor did I take your money!”“Why don’t you go find the man that took your so-called deposit instead?”The crowd was shocked after hearing this. Subconsciously, they turned to look behind Jimmy.The few people that they talked with weren’t there.The higher ups all looked at each other. Wendy Sorrell then put the receipts the day before on the table and exclaimed coldly, “CEO John, the receipt has your company’s signature and seal.”Jimmy clapped his forehead and said, “I remember now, there’s a bunch of scammers that showed up in San Francisco not too long ago.”“The seal looks exactly like ours, but it’s actually fake. I’m not the one who got your money.”“Should we help you report the incident to the authorities to look for them?”Jimmy seemed like he was being generous.Yet at his words, eve
“Scram!”“If you don’t, I’ll tear off your arms and legs!”“And you... You look pretty good, do you want to play with me and my boys here?”The fighters all looked extremely fierce.The higher ups from Sky Corporation showed horrible faces.They would usually go in and out of high-end venues, only meeting with decent people.It was their first time being in such a raggedy place like this, they were slightly affected by it.However, Harvey and Ray were indifferent about the situation.Harvey calmly said, “Jimmy John, last chance. Give us back the money.”Jimmy coldly chuckled.“You're still not leaving yet? You bastard. Do you really want your legs crippled before you do?”“Fine. Cripple this kid for me!”At that moment, a few fighters rushed toward Harvey. Ray, who was standing beside him, stepped out and kicked Jimmy in the chest.The next moment, Ray grabbed Jimmy’s hair and slammed him on the table. Ray then grabbed a pen nearby and fiercely stabbed Jimmy.Pffft!The
Harvey York slapped Jimmy’s head, then rubbed his hand against Jimmy’s body. He was filled with disdain.“Let me ask you, who was the one who made you change the price of this land and take my hundred and fifty million dollars?”Jimmy was gasping in pain, but he still grinded on his teeth and replied, “Nobody! It’s my own doing! It doesn’t involve anyone else!”“Actually, I already did this a few times before. I didn’t realize that I’d meet terrifying people like you this time around!”Harvey laughed, and then glanced at Wendy Sorrell.“You should go outside for now. What happens next is not suitable for children.”The higher ups all lost color in their faces. They all sprinted out of the room swiftly after hearing what Harvey said.When they left, Harvey chuckled and asked, “Ray, you didn’t forget about the things that I taught you on the battlefield before, right? Today’s the first test.”“Alright.”Ray was smiling. He rubbed Jimmy’s head, and gave a smile that would be cons
Looking at the smirk on Harvey York’s face, Jimmy John shivered right away.Although he had thirty-plus people on his side, he had a gut feeling.That if he didn’t know what’s the right thing to do at this moment, the other two men could crush this group of people down quickly.Till then, not only would he lose the 7.6 million, he wouldn’t be able to get even one dollar.In the end, Jimmy could only sign the agreement with his shivery hand, then transferred the 7.6 million back to the Sky Corporation right in front of everyone.***At the San Francisco branch office.Halsey Lowe got to know what happened and her admiration for her own CEO grew more.Initially, she thought to buy this piece of land would have to cost at least seventy million dollars. She was even mentally prepared that they would set a skyrocketing price.But she didn’t expect that 7.6 million dollars would be able to solve the issue with the land already, plus they were very cooperative that they completed the
The Bakers really held power in San Francisco.Right in front of Queenie York, by simply making a call, San Francisco’s Construction Company’s CEO already promised Sam Baker that he would sign the agreement and take the deposit. Still, he definitely wouldn’t commence the project. For sure, he wouldn’t start working till it’s delayed for eight or ten years.And by delaying for eight or ten years, then Sky Corporation’s layout in San Francisco and the whole of Gangnam would end unsuccessfully.After all, based on Halsey Lowe and Harvey York’s line of thinking, it’s best to complete the construction of the commercial center in half a year and finish all the preparation of integrating resources and spreading of branch offices.And Sam’s strategy would be as if destroying Harvey and Halsey’s original plan right away.“Miss, I wish to use the Bakers’ influence to issue a ban amongst the whole of Gangnam’s construction industry. That is, everyone is prohibited from cooperating with Sky C
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
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
