Senior Zimmer stared at Chairman Hawkins leave the hall blankly, then his sight started to dim. He fell onto his iron throne, his expression constantly changing.“What are we going to do?”“Even if the family sells all of our assets, I don’t think we’ll get four hundred and fifty-six million, right?”“Speaking of which, why was the contract a fake? What’s going on?”“...”The Zimmer family was gossiping. Their sight landed upon Zack Zimmer with their faces full of anger.If the Zimmer family were to go bankrupt and ended up begging for food on the streets, Zack would be to blame for everything!Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, barely hanging on to his sanity. His finger pointed at Zack while trembling.“Zack… Tell me… You… You… Why did you do this?!”“Do you not realize that you would be ruining the whole family?!”Zack opened his mouth but could not bring himself to say anything.This was the true definition of might making right!At that moment, Zack could not think of a
“What do you mean shameless?! Don’t just spout out nonsense. Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you shut up! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to say anything you want here anyway?!” Quinn Zimmer said with a peculiar tone.Harvey York coldly said, “Since you have the capabilities to make up an excuse like this, why are you even afraid of being bad-mouthed by other people? Who was it that was crying and shouting at my wife to snag the contract when nobody could?!”“And now you forged a fake contract to deceive yourself and others, making a huge mistake, then you decide to shift blame!”“Can the two of you be any less shameless? You think grandfather is an idiot to believe something like this? Or do you think that he has Alzheimer’s and he would believe whatever you say?”Senior Zimmer was sitting on his seat while his eyes twitched.‘Screw you! Of course, I believe him! He’s my grandson! Why wouldn’t I?!’The problem was that the live-in son-in-law had already
“I disagree!” Harvey York stood up and roared.‘The live-in son-in-law again?! Does everything involve you?!’The Zimmer family all glared at Harvey, full of hatred. If it weren’t for Zack Zimmer’s past lessons and was afraid of Harvey breaking his head when he goes crazy, he would’ve started to throw his punches at Harvey immediately.“If you disagree, do you have another plan?” Senior Zimmer said while he stared at Harvey coldly.Harvey laughed.“Grandfather, do you know about the allusion of bringing the bramble and asking for punishment?”“And?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“I think that the CEO of York Enterprise does not need the money, the thing that York Enterprise took the most offense is not the termination of the contract but something else,” Harvey talked freely.Senior Zimmer got interested.“Then tell me, what does York Enterprise care about?”“Respect.”Harvey said with a stern face.“Does York Enterprise need money? No!”“York Enterprise is supported by the York
Harvey York said confidently, “Should be.”“Even if it doesn’t, at least it showed them the attitude of the family.”“I think, even if the CEO of York Enterprise was being unreasonable, he would surely cool down after seeing the vice CEO of the Zimmer family kneeling in front of his office, right?”“But what if that doesn’t work?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“Wouldn’t the honor of the Zimmer family be lost as well?”“Grandfather.”Harvey tried to persuade him patiently.“Even if there’s no way to fix it, at least we can show them our attitude!”“Even if we can’t fix it, we could still try to stall and buy us a few days for everyone to think of ideas, right?”“Besides, a certain someone had already kneeled before at the antique fair. One more isn’t that much, right?”Senior Zimmer was deep in thought, he was perplexed about the situation.“Of course, it might be even better if the CEO of the Zimmer family were to go himself.”Harvey took the opportunity.“If I could, I would go
Mandy Zimmer sighed, her expressions perplexed.She was from the Zimmer family after all, she only wanted to see the family safe.On the family’s brink of destruction, Zack Zimmer apologized. Her grandfather even had urged her; she saw no point in saying anything more.Harvey York secretly sighed, Mandy could have asked for more authority in the family during that situation.But Mandy valued her family more than anything else.Even if she asked for it herself, she might not even accept it.Looking at Mandy cooling herself down, Senior Zimmer stood up.“Zack, since things have been decided, don’t keep stalling. When you go this afternoon, remember to bring a lavish gift.”He was forcing Zack to go to the Yorks’ whatever it takes.Zack did not know how to feel, he only stared at Quinn Zimmer at that moment.The woman that was soon to be the most noble of all others did not even say a word.She was not married into the Silvas yet after all, she did not even know what Leon Silva
Mandy Zimmer seemed down when she walked out of the hall.Harvey York swiftly caught up with her.“Dear, do you feel wronged?”“Wronged?”Mandy sighed.“I’m a Zimmer, no matter how indecent these people are, these trash, they are my family.”“I just think it’s a shame. Why can’t the Zimmers just finish the Commercial Center Project properly? Why are they even thinking of going to Buckwood?”“Once we finish the Commercial Center Project, the Zimmer family would be able to build a good foundation with the project!”“The Zimmer family could finally be ranked among Niumhi’s first-class families with this project. Why would they be so greedy?!”Mandy felt horrible. She had given so much effort to finish the project.She almost could not accept the current conclusion.But what if she couldn’t anyway?Could she have changed anything on her own?Impossible.“If it were you, how would you change it?” Harvey said after giving some thought.But there was something that he did not s
In the afternoon, at the CEO’s office in York Enterprise.It had been a while since Harvey York visited the company. There were quite a few contracts to sign.Harvey had not invested too much into the eight hundred million dollar plan that he had suggested at the moment.But he did retract all the bad investments.This way, York Enterprise would increase in company value compared to before. Of course, the rate of return won’t be too much.But this was the reformation period of the company. Harvey had accepted it.After signing the contracts, Harvey then leaned on his chair.“Go talk to the higher-ups in the company. We need to select some people to open a branch office at Buckwood next…”“Soon, most of our businesses would be at Buckwood. The people willing to go with us would have their pay increased by thirty percent...”Yvonne Xavier was shocked. She could not help but ask, “Sir, Buckwood is the York family’s home turf…”“On the outside, the company is affiliated with the
Zack Zimmer unconsciously wanted to go crazy, but he eventually held back and shyly said, “My apology is quite unusual. It would definitely make the CEO happier. Could you please ask for his time?”“Unusual? How unusual?” The lady at the front desk frowned.She sized up Zack and then realized.“I remember now, I heard that some vice CEO from the Zimmers had kneeled in front of people at an antique fair. Was that you?”“If you’re going to kneel for my CEO later, I guess I’ll try to contact him then.”Zack’s face was as dark as night.‘Screw you, Harvey York! It’s all your fault!’‘My bad reputation has been spread across all of Niumhi!’‘Thank goodness that the family is about to go to Buckwood. Nobody there would know about these embarrassing things.’‘When the Zimmers become a second-class family in Buckwood, I’ll come back to Niumhi and give you fools a beating!’But then, even the lady was mocking him with a resolve for revenge. Zack Zimmer that had come to give a humble a
"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
