She did not hope to be proposed to, all she hoped for was only to have a happy complete wedding ceremony. However, this husband of hers…When she thought about this, Mandy Zimmer heaved another silent sigh.“Harvey, you piece of trash!” Xynthia Zimmer who was beside them turned ferocious and glared at Harvey York. “Look at them, now look at yourself! Let’s not even touch on the marriage proposal. You’ve been married to my sister for so many years. What have you ever given her? If you are truly a man, you should initiate the divorce. You are no match to my sister. You don’t have any capability to provide her happiness!”“Xynthia!” Mandy threw a stare at her little sister but kept the rest of her thoughts to herself. “Sis, don’t protect him anymore. Trash is trash. Losers are losers. This is in his nature; he cannot change that. If I were him, I would have found somewhere to hide myself a long time ago. How could I even have the face to stay here and watch the proposal? Does he not
“What!?”The audience were shocked to the core. He had lost millions worth of interest to buy luxurious items? Had he gone mad? When they looked at his mannerism, they thought that he could not have faked it.It was no wonder he was able to win over Wendy Sorrell, having splashed that much money on her. Was there any woman who would be able to refuse that?“H-He is willing to use millions to woo a girl? That truly is astonishing!”“That’s right. It is one matter for a man to be rich, whether he is willing to spend the money on you is another!”“How admirable. If my husband treats me this way, I would even be willing to die!”Numerous women were talking! Millions worth of luxurious items? That would mean that all the classic items and in season trends have been gathered? Any woman who claimed to not admire this move would be lying!Many women were currently wishfully gazing at Zack Zimmer.Senior Zimmer nodded profusely. His grandson was too outstanding. He knew how to capture a
“Can someone bring me a flashlight, please?” Yvonne Xavier suddenly asked. “Quick, quick! Bring it over!” Although Senior Zimmer did not know what Yvonne was up to, he ordered the people to fulfil her request.Soon, a flashlight was brought over. Yvonne turned on the flashlight and shone the light toward the two diamond pieces. The bright dazzling light illuminated over them. The crowd could not help but to hold their breaths. Many of them displayed disbelief on their faces.Under the light, everyone saw the vast difference between the two clusters of diamonds. Yvonne’s diamond was smaller, but its shimmering reflection of light dazzled the onlookers. The sight attracted the attention of the people.However, Zack Zimmer’s fist-sized pigeon egg was…“This…” Someone broke the silence. His face was in disbelief. “What is this situation? How is this one carat diamond more dazzling and eye-catching than the ten-carat pigeon egg?”“Isn’t this the diamond that was worth four millio
At the side, Senior Zimmer was controlling his smile. “Manager Sorrell, I can vouch on behalf of the Zimmer family that all of our resources will be for both of you if you marry into our family. That cluster of diamonds is nothing when all of the Zimmer family’s properties will be yours. Why would you make a fuss about it now?”Senior Zimmer was being straightforward with his thoughts. He was prepared to give the whole Zimmer family to the young couple. She did not need to be angry over such a small matter, and especially during such a crucial time as when Zack Zimmer was proposing to her.“That’s right, Sister-in-law. That really is a trivial matter! You would just be punishing Zack for no good reason!”“Yes! Let’s not talk about this diamond ring which is worth hundreds of thousands. Just look at that trash, Harvey York. He’s not even able to buy a diamond ring of a few hundred dollars. You’re very fortunate to have won Bro Zack’s favor!”“Yes! Indeed!”The Zimmer family tried t
In the middle of the hall, Senior Zimmer’s eyes were twitching. He coughed and said, “Everyone, it’s just a dispute of the younger generation. Please don’t mind what had just happened. Don’t mind it at all. I’ll play the host for tonight. Shall we?”All the family heads who were present were sly foxes. However, they assumed what Senior Zimmer said was true. They would soon find out whether this situation was real for sure by observing whether the Zimmer family will successfully attain the investment from York Enterprise.After three more rounds of wine, the family heads each found an excuse to leave. They did not come for the sake of the Zimmer family. The Zimmer family were not so reputable for them to do so. Their goal was Yvonne Xavier.They knew that the Zimmer family did not have a hold on York Enterprise. Some of the family heads had some ideas. Since the Zimmer family could send a young man to woo Wendy Sorrell, they can do so too.***When the guests had left, Zack mustere
“Grandpa, when we analyze the details. Don’t you think that she has feelings for me?”Zack Zimmer put on a convincing face. Why did his reasoning sound reliable?The Zimmer family looked at each other. He did have quite a good explanation. What was Yvonne Xavier’s status? Many family heads wanted to meet her but had not the opportunity. However, she did come over to the Zimmer family with weird behaviors. It seemed that there were no other justifications other than her liking Zack. “Grandpa, Wendy’s rejection of my proposal is good news. Think about it, Wendy is only a small manager, what more can she do?” Zack saw through the truth of the reality. “Yvonne, no… my Vonnie is the secretary to the CEO of York Enterprise! In fact, rumor has it that she is the mysterious CEO herself. Grandpa, the Zimmer family is about to get rich!”The CEO of York Enterprise?When he said this, the Zimmer family who were present all heaved a sigh of relief. This was not impossible. The previous CEO w
He was at the pinnacle of his life. He could marry any woman he so wishes and he had a good fortune too. Yet, this loser live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, had the audacity to laugh at him? Was he not being too arrogant?At that instant, everyone turned to look at Harvey. Many of them had some faint expectation for him to have the situation mixed up. They wanted to keep the hope alive.“I’m so sorry, I did not hold myself back,” Harvey covered his mouth while saying. “Some people have very good imagination. Zack Zimmer, I think you better not try to woo her. Why don’t you try and become the live-in son-in-law of the Xavier family? See if she wants you to be that for her!”“Y-You’re only a live-in son-in-law, how dare you insult me!” Zack’s expression drastically changed. Although he did have the desire to be a kept man, a thought was just a thought. His intentions were exposed, and his ego could not take it anymore. He could not resist bellowing out at him. Indeed, Senior Zimmer und
Mandy Zimmer’s curiosity piqued. She could not resist herself and asked, “What was your relationship with Yvonne Xavier like back in university? Were you both not a couple?”When she said this, Mandy felt that this was quite an unusual scenario. She knew the capabilities of her worthless husband. How could he possibly have such an elegant ex-girlfriend as Yvonne?Harvey York did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Dear, please don’t simply think about it. We were never in that kind of relationship. Just assume that we were not on good terms!”Lilian Yates’ eyes glimmered at that instant, as if she had caught Harvey red-handed. She could not resist rebuking him. “So, that is the case! A kept man like you is hiding a woman behind my daughter’s back! Harvey, I’m telling you! You need to divorce my daughter this instant! Immediately!”“Mom!” Mandy glared at Lilian. “Whatever it is, let’s go home and talk about it.”“No way!”Zack Zimmer coldly interjected before Lilian could contin
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
