Seeing how everyone’s reaction changed, Zack Zimmer felt pleased with himself.He still had not recovered from his anger associated with the failure in courting Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorell a few days ago.How lucky must he have been to meet Ella Graves – a goddess with the curviest body and prepossessing face like that, of course he would not let go of this opportunity!Ella finally lifted her head up and stared at Zack asking, “Anything?”Zack pointed to the VIP lift not far away from them and said, “Miss Pretty, I’m having dinner in the Western restaurant at the top floor, plus I’ve booked the best seat, may I invite you for dinner?”Without even waiting for Ella’s reply, the plastic face had already hurriedly rushed to Zack’s side. “Mr Zimmer, I don’t mind turning a blind eye to you going around and hooking up with random girls, but you specifically invited me out for dinner tonight and now you’re ditching me? What kind of girl do you think I am?”Zack turned around and gla
Zack Zimmer snorted. “Harvey York, how good are you at boasting, before this you boasted how you’re actually the CEO of the York’s Enterprise, and now you’re saying us Zimmers are not even qualified to reserve the spot you’re taking? Who do you think you are? If you’re that incredible how are you still just a live-in son-in-law in the Zimmers family?”“Whether I’m incredible or not how does that matter with you? How does it matter with you wherever I choose to have dinner? Mind your own business.”Zack replied coldly, “I’m the vice CEO of the Zimmers family business, can I not interfere when someone is trying to use our money to pick up girls?”Seeing how Harvey was verbally attacked so many times, she suggested, “Harvey, why don’t we eat somewhere else?”“There’s no need for that, we’re eating here.” Harvey decided to not entertain Zack’s nonsense any longer and led Ella Graves to the lift.“Okay, I’m going to see what kind of ‘good’ spot you’re taking then!” Zack retorted immedi
Seeing how Harvey York and Ella Graves talked and laughed in the VIP area, Zack Zimmer’s face turned cold as ice.How dare this live-in son-in-law pick up girls right before his eyes and spend so much money out of Zimmers’ pocket, he was going to kick Harvey out of the door today definitely.***Mandy Zimmer, who was resting in the room after dinner, heard her phone rang.“Zack, it’s already late, what do you want?” Mandy answered the call coldly.Zack rarely called her as they weren’t in their best terms.“Mandy, you’re not with that trashy live-in husband of yours at home right?” Zack snickered.“What do you mean by this? What does that have to do with you?” Mandy sounded as cold and distant as ever even through calls.“Originally it has nothing to do with me, but the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers is bringing some girl to the Niumhi Grand Hotel using our family’s hard-earned money, and even reserved the best seat in the western restaurant there, I think I have the right t
Shirley Ryan became panic-stricken and uttered, “Senior, you’ve misunderstood me, I wasn’t close with you that’s why I didn’t spoke nicely, but after getting to know you more and more these days I know that you’re actually a great man and I’m trying to accept you for who you are.”“See, I even accompanied you for dinner, we have better days waiting ahead of us, let me go this time would you? We can have supper together.”Shirley tried to look as pitiful as she could be, she’s not the girl who just graduated from college anymore, after years of immersing herself into the realities of the working industry she knew very well that if she didn’t act obedient, he might get impulsive and do something way worse than just touching her.Jerry Zabel moved closer and sniggered. “Trying to accept me? You’re such a sweet talker, Shirley! If it isn’t for me achieving what I have now will you even look at me in the eyes? You women only love money!”Shirley trembled lightly. “Senior, this is really
Shirley Ryan’s face turned red instantly. She’s not a kid anymore, how could she not know what would happen if Harvey York hadn’t come to her rescue. Not knowing what to reply, she could only bite her lip.“Harvey, I’m warning you, if you dare to touch me even once more I’ll have you locked up in jail for sure!” Jerry Zabel finally managed to get himself up unstably as he howled at Harvey.Some live-in son-in-law, who’s looked down upon by everyone, washed the feet for his mother-in-law, cleaned the toilet of the house, dared to touch him. He’d had tons of ways to make Harvey begging for his life!In the end…Swoosh!The next thing he knew, Harvey had already slapped Jerry right across the face hard as he became dizzy with a red mark burning on his cheek.“You… dare to hit me…” Jerry was in full rage.Shirley was all flabbergasted, rumours had it that after Harvey became the live-in son-in-law, he was bullied all the time by the Zimmers but however she looked at him right now, h
After approximately ten minutes, a black Mercedes Benz S-class stopped there. After that, a man in a white suit got out of the car slowly. There were two bodyguards behind them. They seemed ferocious. At first glance, they seemed quite exceptional in fighting. The heir of the Brookes, Kane Brooke, was so daring to offend even York Enterprise just because he thought that Liam Stone was on his side. After Mandy Zimmer’s gathering that time around, the Brookes received a hard lesson from Liam. Now, they had suffered a slightly great loss. There was a saying which claimed that even a lean camel was bigger than a horse. Although the Brookes were quite miserable lately, they were still so much better than the ordinary people even after the repeated losses they suffered in the business field. Recently, a lot of bad things went wrong. Hence, Kane suffered quite a deep wrath. After he got a call from Jerry Zabel, he heard that the woman whom he had his eyes on, Shirley Ryan had been
Harvey York was slightly speechless. ‘What kind of perception is that? Could it be that Jerry Zabel is mentally ill?’ But before he could say anything, Kane Brooke had started to feel slightly impatient. He then took off his coat casually and threw it at a bodyguard beside him. He then said lightly, “Who’s that? I don’t care who you are. Get lost now. Don’t ruin my fun. If not, I’ll kill you later.” As he was saying that, he threw a glance at the bodyguard behind him. That bodyguard understood what he meant well. Hence, the bodyguard took out a stack of blue banknotes and threw them on the ground. For a lowly person like that, Kane had a lot of experience. He just had to threaten them slightly and gave them some money. Then, that person would know perfectly well what he should or should not say. That night, he went there to enjoy himself. He was in no mood to tackle a lowly person like that. Seeing that, Jerry was nervous inwardly. If Harvey took the money and left, he wou
Seeing that Mandy Zimmer had fallen asleep, Harvey York asked no more. He then moved his things to the study and spent his night there. The next day, when he woke up in the early morning, he got ready to prepare breakfast. But he soon heard Mandy, saying coldly, “From today onward, you don’t have to prepare breakfast for our family.” Harvey appeared helpless. He then sighed, “Darling, you’ve been overthinking about the incident last night. I’m just friends with Ella Graves.” Mandy peeked at him, and she had no intention to argue with him. She just appeared particularly cold and aloof. At first, she thought that the relationship between her and Harvey had changed slightly now. It was different from the past. She even imagined that they could act like a normal couple one day. Besides, she thought that she had indeed misunderstood about the incident at the hospital. She even prepared to express her gratitude. But unexpectedly, one single call and a photograph from the previous
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
