Chapter 12

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.

Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.

He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”

He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?

Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.

…

The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

The news was like thunder on the ground, spreading throughout Niumhi within a short time.

Everyone knew that this was a major reshuffle of the major family forces in Niumhi.

If any family could get York Enterprise to invest in their projects, it would grow rapidly and eventually become one of the top families in Niumhi!

The Zimmer family certainly would not remain indifferent. Senior Zimmer immediately held a family dinner and asked all family members to be present.

Mandy quickly called Harvey. She then asked him to go home and prepare to attend the dinner together.

Harvey hurried home. Meanwhile, Mandy was already sitting in her red Porsche, looking at the phone impatiently.

“Honey, I’m late.” Harvey trot all the way and came to Mandy.

Mandy wore a halter dress tonight, with a unique rose brooch on the chest.

“The Heart of Prague?” Harvey’s eyes slightly lit up. He knew where this thing came from. He never thought that she would like the thing he gave her so much that she could not wait to use it now.

However, Mandy was staring at Harvey unhappily. She said coldly, “If you continue to look at me like this, I’ll dig your eyes out…”

“Okay…okay…” Harvey was startled. He never expected that Mandy would discover him. Thus, he hurriedly diverted his gaze to another direction.

“Also, tonight is the family dinner. Just behave yourself. Don’t embarrass me.”

“Alright, I know.” Harvey got into the car. He then heard a yell from behind before he could put on his seat belt.

“Harvey, are you wearing torn clothes for the family dinner? Why do you reek of hot pot smell? Don’t tell me that you got these clothes from the garbage dump?” His mother-in-law—Lilian’s face became colder and colder. The more she looked at this live-in son-in-law, the more she disliked him.

Lilian wore a short evening gown, showing off her slender legs. She was mature and sexy, elegant and decent, generous and attractive.

Harvey’s styling was so horrible compared to her.

Nonetheless, Harvey did not want to argue with her. He just smiled and kept quiet.

Lilian was trembling with anger and said, “Are you stupid or deaf? You’re like a piece of trash! How did my daughter marry you in the first place? It’s a misfortune to the Zimmer family!”

“Mother, don’t be angry. You will ruin your makeup.” Mandy who was driving sighed and said. She had nothing to comment about Harvey’s appearance.

“Can I not be angry? I envy looking at other people’s son-in-law. Why is my son-in-law like this?” Lilian pointed at Harvey. “I’m telling you. Don’t think that it’s okay if you don’t speak. You will go get your divorce certificate with her early tomorrow morning. This is your compensation, understand?”

Lilian grabbed a handful of hundred-dollar bills from her handbag and threw them at Harvey’s face.

Harvey sat there, motionless as if he did not realize it.

Although Mandy felt sorry for him, she was still angry when she saw Harvey’s indifferent behavior. If only he could be a little smarter, she would not be this embarrassed.

Mandy suppressed her urge to drive Harvey out of the car.

…

At the gate of Zimmer Villa, dozens of cars have been parked there. All of them were famous luxury cars.

The hall was already full of people when they arrived.

Mandy’s younger sister—Xynthia had also arrived. However, she was wearing a school uniform today. It should have been too late for her to change after school.

Nevertheless, the school uniform brought out her unique youthful atmosphere. The sisters of the Zimmer family were the best-looking ones. Xynthia would also be incredibly pretty after she had grown up!

They sat down and other family members came to say hello. On this occasion, Harvey was like an invisible man. No one bothered to look at him.

He did not care. His status in the Zimmer family was just like that anyway. He was here tonight to join the fun. Thus, it was better to eat more than anything.

However, someone still wanted to give him a hard time. Xynthia sat next to him and said coldly, “Loser, do you know, starting from tomorrow, you’ll have to get out of the Zimmer family?”

    All eyes fell on Harvey once more. Everyone wanted to see what the legendary Representative Harvey York would choose to do at such a pivotal moment.In such a sensitive time, a single word or move could decide the fate of Grand City itself.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at everyone. After a while, he chuckled. "Oh, Emery. Dan. Do you really want to see me openly stand up and try to steal the position of mayor or shrink back in cowardice?"If I choose to fight, I'll have to fight with the Seven Families to the bitter end. One wrong move and I will be completely ruined. If I choose to back down, the Martial Arts Alliance will lose its representative, and Grand City will be none of my concern anymore. But why should I choose to walk the path you lay out for me? Why should I choose at all?"With that, Harvey moved at blinding speed and immediately appeared right in front of Wenzel. Then, in the next moment, the Representative's badge was now in Wenzel's hand.Harvey smiled. "T

    "Did you not hear a word I said?" Harvey ignored the eight priests in yellow robes approaching him and simply gave the Hierophant a calm gaze."If you want my badge, fight me. These nobodies you called to fight me are useless. Why don't you try it out yourself? I believe if you're willing to do it, I might even go easy on you out of kindness."Everyone choked when they heard Harvey's words as they looked at him in disbelief.Go easy on her?Out of kindness?Against the Hierophant?Harvey didn't give a shred of respect to the Hierophant at all! When she wanted his badge, he simply humiliated her!The Hierophant's expression turned cold. "What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to stage a coup?"Harvey smiled. "Don't misunderstand me. It's not that I'm trying to stage anything. It's just that I have been left with no choice. I hope you won't mind this."His words might sound helpless, but the tone was filled with indifference. Every word he said was humiliating the Hierophant

    Or perhaps, Emery was showing submission because there was more to gain.Meanwhile, Wenzel's expression had finally returned to normal after it shifted a few times. He stepped forward with a smile, a decision had already been made.Harvey becoming Grand City's next mayor would be ideal. He had already considered it for some time. It would be even better if Harvey married his daughter.However, just when Wenzel wanted to step forward, the Hierophant spoke coldly. "Self-interest? Public good? What kind of a joke is this? The reason you do all this is so you can disgrace Grand City, so that your so-called Top Ten Families can stand above us at least once. Am I wrong? Well, congratulations. You've succeeded. My birthday celebration is ruined. Happy now?"This matter is now over. For the sake of that man from your family, I won't take your life today. But you will get out of here now! If you speak another word, don't expect me to show you any more mercy!"The Hierophant waved her hand,

    Emery burst into laughter. "Don't worry, Mr. Dan! If I'm bold enough to represent all the Top Ten Families, the Five Hidden Families, and the Four Pillars to support Mr. Harvey, it then means I have both the sincerity and the means to see it…""Enough! This is over!" A calm but commanding voice rang out. It was so overwhelmingly powerful that everyone subconsciously wanted to get down on their knees. Then, several figures emerged as a crowd surged forward.Harvey narrowed his eyes and saw that all of Emery's bodyguards had been struck away by the powerful aura. They coughed out blood when they slammed into the ground. All of their faces were twisted in agony as they struggled.Then, eight figures in yellow robes appeared and surrounded both Harvey and Emery.Then, the voice appeared again when a woman wearing white robe appeared, her age unknowable. Her beauty was impeccable and was one of grace and maturity. There was a red mark between her brows, making her look mysterious and co

    "According to Grand City's rule, whoever is the Representative will be the next mayor of Grand City. Isn't this how you managed to become the mayor back in the day? You're not going to deny this now, are you?"Emery then turned to look at Wenzel, who stood in the limelight."I believe that we should officially name Harvey as the next mayor today and on this very occasion. Only when he has the title will Grand City know peace. There's nothing more important right now than this!"Emery then raised his arms and cried out, "Congratulations, Mr. Harvey York! Congratulations to Grand City as well!"Among the crowd, many of those who represented the Top Ten Families and Five Hidden Families stepped forward."Congratulations, Mr. Harvey!""Congratulations to Grand City!"Wenzel's eyes became sharp as he stared at Harvey, trying to determine whether Harvey had orchestrated all of this.Harvey's expression remained calm, but he was secretly having a headache. This situation today was a t

    Emery smiled faintly as he said to the Priestess, "Normally speaking, the Top Ten Families, the Five Hidden Families, and the Four Pillars all have no authority to meddle in Grand City's affairs. However, I come today bearing their only will."Emery stepped forward and loudly announced, "The Top Ten Families, the Five Hidden Families, and the Four Pillars all nominate Representative Harvey York as Grand City's next mayor. From this moment on, we stand with him!"There was only silence during the moment Emery announced those words.Everyone thought that there would be a showdown today between Wenzel and the Hierophant. Dan's faction might even join in. Truly, it was a game of thrones made real.No one expected that Emery would suddenly appear and present all of them with such a shocking announcement.
