“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
After walking out of the villa, Harvey York dialled a number once again. This time, the call was answered very quickly. On the other side, Yvonne Xavier answered with an apologetic tone, “Mr. York, I was at the underground parking just now, my cellphone had no signal,” “It’s alright, you can come and fetch me now,” Harvey said calmly. Since he did not have any place to go tonight, it would be nice if he went to rest at the office instead. “Huh? Alright, where are you, Mr. York? I’ll be there immediately.” Yvonne was obviously stunned for a while but she quickly opened her mouth and responded. Harvey told her the address before hanging up. In less than ten minutes, a red Ferrari stopped by Harvey’s side and the car window was lowered. Not knowing since when Yvonne changed into a leather top and miniskirt ensemble, she looked at Harvey bashfully and said, “Mr. York, I was about to go for a drive when you called me, so I could not change in time.”“It’s alright, am I disturbing yo
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
