Mandy stayed around the construction site for the whole afternoon. After that, she went to the city and made her way to the hotel where she and the suppliers promised to meet.Reaching there, she saw that the private room was empty. Mandy guessed that they were putting on an act, for reasons she couldn’t know. She said nothing and instead ordered a pot of tea, and waited quietly in the room.For four hours she waited, from noon until evening. Only by then did suppliers arrive. They came in as a group, referring to each other as brothers as they entered.“CEO Mandy, please excuse us for being a little late.”“These days, we’ve been very busy with our work. You too know that after the market price of raw materials rose, more people came to us for business. That’s why we’re not that free!”“Yes! We have so little products, but so many companies demanded this and that from us! We don’t even know to whom we should distribute our products anymore. What a hassle!”The moment they appe
“Ha ha ha! Are you going to file a lawsuit against us, CEO Zimmer?”“I’m going to give you a piece of advice. Sure, employing a lawyer doesn’t cost a lot.”“Still, civil disputes like this prioritize mediation. It’s rare for the case to be concluded quickly.”“If we want, we can delay this case for as long as eight to ten years. While we don’t really care, can your company afford it?”Barry Waters was incredibly satisfied with himself.Obviously, he had thought of everything before arriving. His presence right now was solely to crush Mandy.The other suppliers sneered and nodded along. After all, they’d all be sharing mutual benefits.Of course they’d take this opportunity to make a huge profit as a group! No one was dumb enough to resist cold, hard cash! Mandy inhaled deeply and replied, “Mr. Barry, when we Zimmers were looking for suppliers, you were the one who came to our doorstep and told us your factory was going bankrupt.”“You were the one who pleaded to offer us the
At his words, Mandy’s face grew cold. She was here to talk about collaboration. How could she accept this humiliation?“Mr Waters, our company is honest and sincere in dealing with people. Please show us more respect. Collaboration is good for both of us. It won’t be good for us to dismiss that chance, no?”“I’ll let it slide this time. Next time you insult me, you’ll get a letter from my lawyer!”“Letter? Insult?” Barry Waters grinned and sneered coldly. “CEO Zimmer, do you really think you’re a decent woman?”“I’m telling you. The matter today isn’t over yet.”“Do you think we can’t survive if we don’t collaborate with your company? Let me tell you, many other companies are eager to collaborate with us!”“Even our raw materials aren’t enough for all of them!”“Waters.” Mandy hissed icily. “Aren’t you grateful for the assistance I gave you that day?!” Barry chuckled and folded his arms.“Why, CEO Zimmer, please forget the past. We’re both businessmen. All I care about is the
Barry Waters’ head was filled with evil thoughts. He only had one thing in his mind.He flashed Mandy a cruel grin. “CEO Zimmer, let’s go to Buckwood Hotel tonight. Don’t worry, I’m a member there. They’ll give us a presidential suite. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied!”“Don’t even think about it! If you don’t let go, I’ll call the police!”Mandy struggled to take out her phone.Barry sneered at her attempts, and slammed her to the ground.“Woman. Do you think you’re that capable? How dare you pretend to be a virgin?”“I’m telling you. In the end, you’ll beg me and climb into my bed!”“No one in Buckwood can provide you any raw materials without my approval!”Mandy grabbed her phone and replied solemnly, “Waters, don’t flatter yourself.”“Nothing couldn’t be bought with money! Don’t regret it when that happens!”Barry burst into laughter at Mandy’s words.There was a reason why he was so rampant.The one backing him was the big boss of the real estate industry of South Light, t
When she reached home, Mandy threw herself on the sofa. A gloomy cloud hung over her face and she refused to talk to anyone.Xynthia Zimmer, who came home from school, was shocked to see her sister that way. Xynthia knew her sister too well. Based on Mandy’s expression, she must have suffered a lot.Xynthia quickly dialed Harvey.She knew very well that her brother-in-law would never let anyone hurt her sister.Half an hour after receiving the call, Harvey appeared.After all, Mandy was his most precious treasure.“Mandy, what happened today? Can you tell me?”Harvey gave Xynthia a look, motioning her to go upstairs. Then he walked to the sofa, holding a glass of milk in his hand.Mandy took the glass of milk and drank it angrily. Thinking back to the grievance she had endured today, she wanted to cry.That shameless Barry Waters even pulled her hair! Her roots still hurt.“Barry Waters, that ungrateful man! He was about to go bankrupt back when the Silver Nimbus Mountain Res
Tyson did not speak. He just looked at the cigar in his hand, which was burned only halfway.His two subordinates immediately understood his actions and proceeded to hit Barry even harder.Tyson took a drag of the cigar, sighing. “Barry, you’re nothing in my eyes.”“There’s no misunderstanding between us.”“What have you done recently? Who have you offended? You should know better than me, right?”“No! I didn’t offend anyone!” Barry replied miserably. “I’ve always been a well-behaved businessman!” “Really? Then I’ll help you recall.”Tyson then stepped forward and kicked Barry in the face.“Gggh!”Barry’s body flew and smashed into the wall of the room. The impact made him spit out a few broken teeth. Yet at the moment, he was wide awake with realization.He remembered it!He had offended Mandy recently!But if Mandy could hire someone like Tyson Woods, why was she intimidated by him?None of this made any sense!“Brother Tyson, no, Sir Tyson! I’m sure it’s a misundersta
At two o’clock in the morning, Harvey left the Gardens Residence and went to Tyson’s residence.Barry Waters was dragged out of the basement. His injuries weren’t minor, but in Harvey’s eyes, they were nothing serious.Seeing that Barry was still able to stand up, Harvey’s indifferent gaze fell on Tyson.Tyson shuddered. He gave Barry no chance to speak.He hurriedly threw a violent kick at Barry’s stomach, sending the latter flying. Barry’s whole body started to convulse when he slumped to the ground.“Misunderstanding…”“Brother Tyson, it’s really a misunderstanding!”Barry murmured weakly.Tyson did not dare to speak casually in front of Harvey. He stood with his hands pulled down, not saying a word.Harvey stepped forward and slowly pressed his foot on Barry’s face. With a cold hiss, he began, “What did you do to Mandy today?”For a moment, Barry was dumbfounded. He never expected to hear Mandy’s name!He struggled to turn over, but couldn’t. He could only mutter, “Who a
Harvey stared at Barry Waters indifferently. After a while, he turned and left without doing anything.Tyson Woods was dumbfounded. When did Harvey ever talk so nicely? He actually walked away just like that!“Prince, this…”Harvey said indifferently, “Let him go.”“Why?” Tyson Woods was flabbergasted. “Didn’t he offend Sister-in-law?” “Prince York, don’t worry. Just leave him to me. I’ll deal with him and finish the job.”But Harvey said, “You’re still not smart enough even after following me for so long.”“Can’t you see that this man is useless? What ability does he have to be in charge of the raw material market in Buckwood? Clearly, someone is behind him!” “Isn’t it the Surrey family?” Tyson Woods asked.Harvey shook his head. “It’s hard to tell exactly who.” The four major first-class families; the Surreys, the Robbinses, the Yateses, and the Cloudes were definitely on the same side.They had just suffered a loss in his hands recently. Because of Harvey, these first-
"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
