“Can someone bring me a flashlight, please?” Yvonne Xavier suddenly asked. “Quick, quick! Bring it over!” Although Senior Zimmer did not know what Yvonne was up to, he ordered the people to fulfil her request.Soon, a flashlight was brought over. Yvonne turned on the flashlight and shone the light toward the two diamond pieces. The bright dazzling light illuminated over them. The crowd could not help but to hold their breaths. Many of them displayed disbelief on their faces.Under the light, everyone saw the vast difference between the two clusters of diamonds. Yvonne’s diamond was smaller, but its shimmering reflection of light dazzled the onlookers. The sight attracted the attention of the people.However, Zack Zimmer’s fist-sized pigeon egg was…“This…” Someone broke the silence. His face was in disbelief. “What is this situation? How is this one carat diamond more dazzling and eye-catching than the ten-carat pigeon egg?”“Isn’t this the diamond that was worth four millio
At the side, Senior Zimmer was controlling his smile. “Manager Sorrell, I can vouch on behalf of the Zimmer family that all of our resources will be for both of you if you marry into our family. That cluster of diamonds is nothing when all of the Zimmer family’s properties will be yours. Why would you make a fuss about it now?”Senior Zimmer was being straightforward with his thoughts. He was prepared to give the whole Zimmer family to the young couple. She did not need to be angry over such a small matter, and especially during such a crucial time as when Zack Zimmer was proposing to her.“That’s right, Sister-in-law. That really is a trivial matter! You would just be punishing Zack for no good reason!”“Yes! Let’s not talk about this diamond ring which is worth hundreds of thousands. Just look at that trash, Harvey York. He’s not even able to buy a diamond ring of a few hundred dollars. You’re very fortunate to have won Bro Zack’s favor!”“Yes! Indeed!”The Zimmer family tried t
In the middle of the hall, Senior Zimmer’s eyes were twitching. He coughed and said, “Everyone, it’s just a dispute of the younger generation. Please don’t mind what had just happened. Don’t mind it at all. I’ll play the host for tonight. Shall we?”All the family heads who were present were sly foxes. However, they assumed what Senior Zimmer said was true. They would soon find out whether this situation was real for sure by observing whether the Zimmer family will successfully attain the investment from York Enterprise.After three more rounds of wine, the family heads each found an excuse to leave. They did not come for the sake of the Zimmer family. The Zimmer family were not so reputable for them to do so. Their goal was Yvonne Xavier.They knew that the Zimmer family did not have a hold on York Enterprise. Some of the family heads had some ideas. Since the Zimmer family could send a young man to woo Wendy Sorrell, they can do so too.***When the guests had left, Zack mustere
“Grandpa, when we analyze the details. Don’t you think that she has feelings for me?”Zack Zimmer put on a convincing face. Why did his reasoning sound reliable?The Zimmer family looked at each other. He did have quite a good explanation. What was Yvonne Xavier’s status? Many family heads wanted to meet her but had not the opportunity. However, she did come over to the Zimmer family with weird behaviors. It seemed that there were no other justifications other than her liking Zack. “Grandpa, Wendy’s rejection of my proposal is good news. Think about it, Wendy is only a small manager, what more can she do?” Zack saw through the truth of the reality. “Yvonne, no… my Vonnie is the secretary to the CEO of York Enterprise! In fact, rumor has it that she is the mysterious CEO herself. Grandpa, the Zimmer family is about to get rich!”The CEO of York Enterprise?When he said this, the Zimmer family who were present all heaved a sigh of relief. This was not impossible. The previous CEO w
He was at the pinnacle of his life. He could marry any woman he so wishes and he had a good fortune too. Yet, this loser live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, had the audacity to laugh at him? Was he not being too arrogant?At that instant, everyone turned to look at Harvey. Many of them had some faint expectation for him to have the situation mixed up. They wanted to keep the hope alive.“I’m so sorry, I did not hold myself back,” Harvey covered his mouth while saying. “Some people have very good imagination. Zack Zimmer, I think you better not try to woo her. Why don’t you try and become the live-in son-in-law of the Xavier family? See if she wants you to be that for her!”“Y-You’re only a live-in son-in-law, how dare you insult me!” Zack’s expression drastically changed. Although he did have the desire to be a kept man, a thought was just a thought. His intentions were exposed, and his ego could not take it anymore. He could not resist bellowing out at him. Indeed, Senior Zimmer und
Mandy Zimmer’s curiosity piqued. She could not resist herself and asked, “What was your relationship with Yvonne Xavier like back in university? Were you both not a couple?”When she said this, Mandy felt that this was quite an unusual scenario. She knew the capabilities of her worthless husband. How could he possibly have such an elegant ex-girlfriend as Yvonne?Harvey York did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Dear, please don’t simply think about it. We were never in that kind of relationship. Just assume that we were not on good terms!”Lilian Yates’ eyes glimmered at that instant, as if she had caught Harvey red-handed. She could not resist rebuking him. “So, that is the case! A kept man like you is hiding a woman behind my daughter’s back! Harvey, I’m telling you! You need to divorce my daughter this instant! Immediately!”“Mom!” Mandy glared at Lilian. “Whatever it is, let’s go home and talk about it.”“No way!”Zack Zimmer coldly interjected before Lilian could contin
After walking out of the villa, Harvey York dialled a number once again. This time, the call was answered very quickly. On the other side, Yvonne Xavier answered with an apologetic tone, “Mr. York, I was at the underground parking just now, my cellphone had no signal,” “It’s alright, you can come and fetch me now,” Harvey said calmly. Since he did not have any place to go tonight, it would be nice if he went to rest at the office instead. “Huh? Alright, where are you, Mr. York? I’ll be there immediately.” Yvonne was obviously stunned for a while but she quickly opened her mouth and responded. Harvey told her the address before hanging up. In less than ten minutes, a red Ferrari stopped by Harvey’s side and the car window was lowered. Not knowing since when Yvonne changed into a leather top and miniskirt ensemble, she looked at Harvey bashfully and said, “Mr. York, I was about to go for a drive when you called me, so I could not change in time.”“It’s alright, am I disturbing yo
At this time, Wyatt Johnson who was behind her walked to the front and said while smiling, “This lady looks unfamiliar. You have probably just come to Niumhi not long ago. Miss, how should I address you? There are some people in Niumhi who like to goof around. You must be careful, don’t mess around with them, they are very disgusting. If you need anything, miss, I can bring you around our shopping area. I am the manager of the Northland Restaurant and I am very familiar with this area.”Obviously, Wyatt was very interested in a beauty like Yvonne Xavier who also happened to drive a Ferrari. She seemed like she had a remarkable status by a mere glance. If he could hit on her, wouldn’t he be able to own both beauty and wealth?Initially, Harvey York did not want to bother them, but those two were just too annoying. He couldn’t help but glance at Wyatt and said, “Hey Johnson, can a restaurant waiter like you stop boasting about what you don’t have? Why would my people have to be associa
"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
