Mandy Zimmer was calm. She did not say a single word.Even though it was a bit unbearable, she did not show her emotions.But Lilian Yates still remembered the moment when she was kicked out of the Zimmers along with her family.She then coldly chuckled and exclaimed, “Everyone, all of your skins are thicker than castle walls!“Don’t you all remember the things that you said here yesterday?“Need I remind you all?“Only one day had passed, and you’ve already treated the things you said like farts in the wind. How shameless!”The Zimmers’ expressions all changed for the worse after being insulted.The family felt unperturbed, forcing Mandy Zimmer and her family to sign the contract to break all ties previously, but they were immediately aggrieved.Senior Zimmer finally let out a huge sigh and said, “Simon, Lilian. I beg of you!“Be the bigger person here!“Your hearts should be big enough to stomach the whole family!“My eyes were blinded by other people before!“Now I fina
“You…”The Zimmers were boiling with anger after they got insulted by Harvey York.Zack Zimmer pointed at him and exclaimed furiously, “So what if we spent all of it?! Can a live-in son-in-law like you even question our decisions?! Stop joking around!“You eat our food, drink our water, then you spout out nonsense like this. Have you no shame?”Zack was acting as if he had nothing to lose. He couldn’t get the money anyway, but a life was ready to be taken in front of him.The Zimmers’ Patriarch was Senior Zimmer as well. He could bear the problems if any were to arise.He was not afraid in the slightest.“I hope your temper is just as bad in a bit.”Harvey smiled.“Tch, Harvey. Are you just here to watch me make a fool out of myself? Stop dreaming!“Who do you think I am? I don’t bend over backward because of some meager pay. How can you possibly make a joke out of me?“Do you actually think I’m as filthy as you?!”Senior Zimmer was pleased; it seemed like the most ambitiou
Ray Hart was so respectful in the beginning before as if he saw his master.But his words came out so brutally honest.Naturally, the Zimmers would never know that Ray was respectful because Harvey York was there.If it weren’t for him, how would he ever be this civilized and well-mannered?Senior Zimmer forced a smile and said, “Sir Ray, please. You must be joking! In what world do gifts get taken back anyway?“Is it because Mandy rejected Prince York the day before that he wanted the gifts back?“If that’s the case, give us three days, no no no. One day! In one day, we’ll make her accept the proposal!”“No need!” Ray replied coldly.“The Prince said that his woman and his marriage are personal problems. Nobody is allowed to interfere!“Because the Zimmers have already broken all ties with his woman, the gifts do not have anything to do with you anymore.“And I came here to retrieve the gifts because Prince York willed me to.”Senior Zimmer’s body wobbled. He was almost on
What kind of person was Ray Hart?Ray Hart was Harvey York’s personal bodyguard back then. He marched in front of millions of soldiers and horses of the five strongest countries.Even when the opposition was wielding powerful firearms, he would not even blink.How could a man like him even be scared by the Zimmers’ way of intimidating people just by using powerful connections?As Ray Hart straightened his body, a terrifying aura was seething out of his body.He had restrained himself when he was in front of Harvey York.But he could not control his temper at that moment. Even patriarchs of first-rated families could not compare themselves to a powerful aura such as this.Harvey York nodded from the side.Ray Hart was exceptional. He still had the mannerisms from long before when he was in the Sword Camp.Ordinary people would indeed be overwhelmed seeing Ray Hart’s mannerisms, but Harvey remained indifferent.Any of Sword Camp’s ordinary soldiers would be similar to him after
Quinn Zimmer started panicking at that moment.“Grandfather, I spent all of the money. I sold off most of the things as well.”Zack Zimmer was also gritting his teeth.“Grandfather, you know we spend quite an amount daily. That money has already been long gone.“There’s no way to get those things back beside the villa itself.”The other people in the Zimmers had no other choice. They had to tell the truth.Of course, they wouldn’t say where they spent the money.What if they were forced to sell off the houses and cars that they bought?The Zimmers could fall, but they could not be bankrupt!“You Zimmers had the nerve to do that after all!” Ray Hart exclaimed calmly.“But, some things can be spit back out.”“I don’t care if you sell off your other assets or your company’s stocks to repay the debt, but I can guarantee that you’ll live the rest of your lives behind bars if you miss even a single dollar.”The Zimmers’ hearts sank to the bottom.There was no doubt about Ray Har
Ray Hart’s facial expression instantly turned as cold as ice.‘The Prince is right there. How dare this shameless woman call Mandy a loose woman?’Ray Hart immediately walked up to Quinn Zimmer, grabbed her throat with his left hand, and then slapped her across her face with the other.Ray Hart’s slap was more severe compared to Senior Zimmer’s the previous day.The slap was enough to make a few teeth fly out of her mouth.After throwing Quinn Zimmer to the ground, Ray Hart then said with disdain, “I feel like my hands are getting dirty just by touching you. How dare you still spout nonsense about Prince York?“What are you even worth?“You’re nothing!”Quinn was left in a daze.She usually had a sharp tongue and was extremely arrogant, but she could not even utter a single word at this moment.“If I don’t see the gifts sent to The Gardens Residence at the same time tomorrow, what you see before you right now will all show up in Buckwood Police Station.“I guarantee you that
Senior Zimmer finally said hesitantly, “Mandy, we said that you have no more ties with the family anymore; but even if we’re incredibly cold-hearted, I genuinely hope that you can help us this one last time!“After this, the family will have no more quarrels with you whatsoever!”Naturally, Senior Zimmer was trying to bait her gratitude.Mandy Zimmer did not even want to bat them an eye, but she had gotten softer after seeing Senior Zimmer’s old and pitiful look.“I can help you come up with an idea, but it’ll be up to you whether you want to execute it or not.”“Good, pray tell!”Senior Zimmer’s eyes lit up.She then took a deep breath and replied coldly, “Didn’t you all sell off the gifts and split the money, then used it to buy cars and houses?“Sell off everything that you bought and see how much you can all gather. We’ll talk about the rest later!”Quinn Zimmer was the first one to boil with anger as soon as she heard that suggestion.“Mandy, what do you mean? Do you wan
Mandy Zimmer thought about it for a while and shook her head.She didn’t know, and to be honest, she did not want to know.Harvey York continued speaking.“At this rate, they won’t be able to gather the gifts. The Zimmers had been lavished with glory and wealth, living luxurious lives. Even if they managed to sell off all the properties, they won’t be able to recoup the amount they spent.“But there is still a way for them to settle their debt.“For example, you can still give them a little bit of money to survive, but all forty-nine percent of the Zimmer Enterprise’s stocks have to be transferred to you.”“This…”She hesitated on that idea. This was the only stock left for the Zimmers after all those years. If she were to take that away, the Zimmers would perish entirely.After seeing her being hesitant, Harvey then said, “I know that you’re unwilling, but you’re also giving them a path of survival.“If not, how would the last of the stocks be of use after they sell off every
"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
