He dared not make the slightest move. Yvonne Xavier may appear all tough and mighty, but based on what Harvey York knew, she had never been in a relationship. In this situation, he wouldn’t be surprised if she stabbed him with a knife the moment she returned to her senses… Yvonne started to stutter. “Sir… sir… Are you done hugging me?”“Oh!” Harvey immediately released her. He himself did not notice that he was subconsciously hugging her. Harvey turned incredibly awkward, and he could only let her go. Yvonne sprang up in an instant, but a bashful expression remained on her face.Both of them could only feel that the situation was too f*cking awkward. Even for a self-admitted shameless person like Harvey, he was unable to bear the awkwardness of the whole situation.Yvonne became all the more embarrassed. She said, “I heard… you were married for three years.”Harvey fell into a brief silence. After a while, he spoke. “Well, let’s not talk about that. I need you to lend me your
Yvonne Xavier noticed Harvey York walking towards her. She smiled and said, “Please wait for a moment, sir. Breakfast will be ready soon.”Harvey gazed at Yvonne with suspicion. For some reason he couldn’t fathom, he had an inkling that Yvonne was not treating him as warmly as she usually did.Harvey enjoyed a pleasant night’s sleep, but he did not know that Yvonne spent the whole time tossing and turning in bed. She had wondered whether she should open the door on the chance Harvey came knocking.It turned out that Harvey was as senseless as a piece of log and had none of that intention. The fact really got on Yvonne’s nerves.After finishing breakfast, they did not stay any longer at Yvonne’s house. Yvonne drove her Bentley and dropped Harvey at York Enterprise. It was already nine o’clock in the morning, and people were gradually bustling into the area.A large group of people had gathered at the main entrance of the York Enterprise for unknown reasons. There were workers from
“Oh! It’s you, Miss Xavier.” A man dressed in a white suit walked out of the company. Upon hearing the commotion, he came outside.Yvonne Xavier scrunched up her eyebrows in disgust. The man standing in front of her was no other than Zack Zimmer, who had been rejected by Wendy Sorell. She knew what he wanted with her and said coldly, “Ah, it’s you, Zack Zimmer. Unfortunately we don’t entertain any romantic shits here, so I will have to ask you to leave.”“Now, now, there’s no need to rush...” Zack replied with a smirk. His eyes turned cold instantly upon seeing someone else.‘The hell?! And now Harvey York’s here too?! This annoying guy is practically everywhere!’“What the hell is wrong with you, Harvey York?” Zack Zimmer pointed a finger at Harvey and started to yell, not even pausing to wait for Harvey’s response. “Are you stalking me? What a sicko!”At the same time, Zack grew worried as he recalled what happened with Harvey last night. If this guy ruins Zack’s plans again, it
Sick of Zack, Harvey York ignored him and turned towards the grand entrance of York Enterprise.“Didn’t Zack Zimmer say he’s just a live-in son-in-law? Why is he entering through the grand entrance? What’s more, with an access card?”“Could it be that he’s holding a position in the company?”The crowd babbled non-stop as they began to question Harvey York’s identity.Zack Zimmer sneered, “What else can he be? Our live-in son-in-law is working as a cleaner at York Enterprise!”“So he’s a cleaner here!” The mystery was solved as they wondered how this poor man managed to enter the company. No wonder!Finished with his sentence, Zack beamed at Yvonne Xavier, saying, “Miss Xavier, let’s not allow that worthless wretch to ruin our good mood right now. Or shall we meet up somewhere else tonight and have a good talk?”Yvonne finally understood Wendy’s feelings last night. Only after a long moment of silence did she reply coldly, “Mr. Zimmer. First off, I’m not interested in you. Second
The news that Zack Zimmer had gone over and asked Yvonne Xavier out spread all over the city of Niumhi right after the incident happened. At the same time, the business partnership between the Yorks and the Zimmers had stiffened up because of him as well.…Zimmer Villa.The whole Zimmer family was gathered in the living hall of the villa. None of them knew what to do. Even Senior Zimmer carried a dark expression on his face.Zack Zimmer stood in the middle of the hall, ashamed and panicky, as his surrounding family members threw insult after insult at him with looks of disapproval.“You’re such an idiot, Zack Zimmer!”“Didn’t you say Yvonne Xavier had feelings for you? What now? You’re nothing!”“I knew for a fact that you’re not reliable at all! Never!”“I don’t care what you had to do, but you need to give us an explanation on this! You ruined not just our business operation, but also the Zimmers’ reputation!”The Zimmers grew even angrier as they went on, flames of fury bu
“Think of something? What can you even do? Propose to someone else? Who, the CEO? The problem is, the CEO’s a man!”Someone from the crowd exclaimed.Following this, a few of them began throwing criticisms at Zack once more. ‘According to the original plan, everything would be fine if Mandy Zimmer was the one who got the contract, even if it meant everyone would receive less money. But this troublemaker had to ruin the plan and stir up chaos, further escalating their chances of going bankrupt. Were it not for Senior Zimmer, Zack would have surely been shred to bones and pieces right there and then.’“Yeah! If only we followed Mandy’s plan!”“Boasting on and on about how great you are! See what’s happening now? You’re trash!”“Zack Zimmer, don’t tell me you’re actually one of the spies from the other families?”Zack expressed his dismay, “My dear uncles, all of you have been supporting me from the start. What’s more, I’m also one of the victims here! Please don’t worry, I’ll wor
“Old Man Stone, how can you add insult to the injury at a time like this?”“Yeah! Where are your business ethics?”“Last night, all of you arrived with fancy gifts in order for us to propose to you partnerships. And now in just one day, you’re retracting them? How despicable!”Upon hearing that, Yohann Stone and others did not back down and continued to retaliate.Filled with rage, Senior Zimmer slammed the table and bellowed, “Enough!”Only until the voices died down did he turn to Yohann Stone. With a sincere look on his face, he asked, “My friends Stone and Brooke, I cannot do anything now that you have decided on this. Given that we’ve been partners for so many years, could you possibly give us three days to fix this problem? We’ll terminate our contracts if we still can’t solve the problem in three days. How about that?”Yohann Stone and the rest exchanged glances of agreement and nodded. “Alright. We’ll give you three days, seeing as how we’ve been business partners for suc
Senior Zimmer smiled, his eyes glinting. “Mandy, I know you feel wronged and you’re mad at us. I apologize for not trusting you wholeheartedly before. Sean, Zack, come over and apologize to Mandy as well!”Sean and Zack Zimmer glanced at one another awkwardly. They were already used to having people bow to them. To have either of them to apologize to Mandy, the family’s outcast, proved difficult indeed.The thing was, they had little choice but to do so. Taking in a deep breath as he faced Mandy Zimmer, Zack Zimmer bowed his body slightly and apologized. “Mandy, this time it’s my fault that I caused all of this trouble. Please forgive me.”A wicked grin flashed briefly across his face as he kept his head down, but he hid it well.On the other hand, Sean Zimmer grinned like a Cheshire cat and said, “Mandy, now that Zack has apologized, as your uncle I will also apologize to you. I promise the same thing will never happen again. Can you visit York Enterprise for my sake?”“For your
