The crowd had their eyes wide open and their jaws dropped, not able to utter a single word.Jensen Carlson’s mind had exploded and slowly turned him numb.‘What’s going on?’‘This Harvey York guy not only knows Senior Oskar Armstrong, but he’s talking to him like old friends despite their age difference.’Before people came back to their senses, Senior Armstrong laughed.“Alright, Harvey. Come visit anytime, you know you’re always welcome here…”“Let’s talk business, is there a reason for you to call me this late at night?”Obviously Senior Armstrong also had a brilliant mind. There must be something urgent for Harvey to call him so suddenly.They were only reminiscing before, now onto the main topic.Harvey did not waste any time and flipped open the documents in his hand, then pointing it at the camera.After a few minutes, Senior Armstrong was confused.“Harvey, why do you have the documents of the research project?”“You talked to me about this before, didn’t you?” Harv
Harvey York looked at Gregory Clarke with an expression as cold as ice.“Saint Clarke, you said it yourself, if I can find evidence of his fraud, you’ll expel him as your student.”Gregory’s face turned for the worse, he was awkward beyond belief.He did say such a thing, but the problem was…The Carlson family had an extraordinary status in South Light!To evict someone that came from a medical family, even for Gregory, he would be punished for that consequence!But if he did not do so, his family principles would be ruined!Harvey did not give Gregory any time to think about the situation.“I already saved you from embarrassment by not telling Senior Armstrong about the situation.”“But since you’re Jensen’s teacher, you have to take responsibility for this matter.”“There are documents that should be destroyed, and there are projects that should be abandoned.”“If not, and the word spread, I don’t think even you are able to bear the consequences. Am I wrong?”Gregory imm
“Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me for being reckless. I deserve to die. I really deserve to die…”Ella Graves used to respect his senior, but even she started to sigh at that moment.Ella was more serious about her education more than anyone else.‘Jensen Carlson using means like this to have a little more fame was truly silly.’‘Does he not know that he would be exposed sooner or later using despicable means like this?’Jensen saw Ella looking at him like some sort of disgusting insect and trembled even harder than before.Since the first semester of university, when he first saw Ella speak, he had already decided that he would do anything to pursue her.He knew that his junior values her education the most, that was why he had painstakingly endured for so many years to stage this set.Jensen thought that he could finally take a beautiful woman home after all this time, but he did not think that the situation would end up like this.“Teacher, please! You ha
Jensen Carlson covered his face while making a baleful expression.“Dad, I tried! I’ve put out everything that I prepared since years ago!”“I was prepared to wait until Senior Oskar Armstrong died then bring out the thesis paper!”“But was it not enough that I gave everything I had for this?!”“Us Carlsons are also wealthy, why do we have to be someone else’s servants? Quinton York is nothing…”Slap!The patriarch of the Carlsons swung his hand across Jensen Carlson’s face once again, and immediately stopped him from saying what he wanted to say.“You rebellious child. I’ll tell you one last time, without Master York, the Carlsons would have been under the rubble by now!”“To help Master York with his business is our honor! And we must bear for the consequences this time for our failure!” The patriarch said gloomily.His tall body unconsciously trembled after his speech.Obviously, the name “Quinton York” to the patriarch of the Carlsons had struck fear in his heart.Jensen
Ella Graves followed Harvey York while they walked down the street, she felt like her head was spinning constantly.Too much was happening that day, she could not react to everything properly.She did not know which expression to show Harvey that was walking beside her.‘What is this man actually capable of? He could do almost everything!’Harvey did not care much about what had happened. He ate dinner with Ella and then returned home.***Harvey had just gotten home while bumping into Mandy Zimmer and her mother rushing out. Lilian Yates’ face turned furious after seeing Harvey. She immediately scolded Harvey, “Where have you been at this late hour?!”Harvey replied, “I went to dinner with a friend.”“Eat eat eat, all you’ve known to do is to eat! Do you even realize that your father is back?!” Lilian scolded at him again.“He’s already at the Zimmer Villa! Hurry, don’t let him wait for long!”Harvey froze, were they talking about his own father?He came back to his senses
“Oh? A way to let the Zimmers be a part of Simon Zimmer’s good project and resources?”Senior Zimmer’s eyes lit up.“Let’s hear it!”The other members of the Zimmer family too held their breaths and listened closely.Being a second-class family in the provincial capital would definitely make the Zimmers increase their wealth tenfold. That also meant that they would be swimming in money.At that moment, nobody wanted to undermine Simon’s plans. Everyone was making a face full of excitement.Simon laughed.“Dad, have you heard of the Silva family in South Light?”Senior Zimmer fretted.“Simon, you mean one of the first-class families in all of South Light, that Silva family?”“Right! That’s them!”Simon Zimmer was acting proud.“Legends say that the Silva family were the king’s royal relatives during the old times, the true Lord Kye Silva!”“After the war, they set foot on South Light and had the surname Silva!”“The family is not as deep-rooted as the Yorks.”“But, the fa
‘What?’‘Is this even real?’Everyone scoffed at this idea, how fake could this even get?Were the Silvas idiots to even sign a contract like this?Simon Zimmer looked at the faces of everyone full of distrust and smiled. Then, he pulled out an exquisite folder out of his briefcase and threw it on a table.“Here, take a look.”Everyone surrounded the table and closely inspected the contents.The contract indeed had specified what Simon had said, a newly planned area in Buckwood would be given ten acres for the Zimmer family to operate in.A shopping centre aside, a few residential buildings were also included in the land. Every inch of the new area in Buckwood was worth tons of gold.If the Zimmer family could manage the project with ten acres of the land, their net worth would increase tenfold!The contract had specified as well that this collaboration would give the Zimmer family fifty one percent of all the shares and appointed to take charge in said project. If they wou
“That’s right, grandfather. This is a huge matter, you have to think carefully. If you make one wrong move, you’ll lose everything. It seemed like we’ll get tons of benefits as said in this contract, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch!”“Buckwood is a place where vicious and greedy people gather. Who knows how many first-class families from prefecture-level cities tried to make a living there, then came back as dead as a dodo? What capabilities do we even have to survive in Buckwood?”“Once we go all in and there’s no way to go back and we failed, the whole family would be in shambles!”Zack Zimmer was the first one to oppose Simon Zimmer’s idea with a vigilant expression on his face. If this plan did go through, his position of vice CEO in the family would be like a fart in the wind. He would never allow this.“Grandfather, I am the vice CEO in the family, I have to think of the family’s safety. These things should not be decided just because someone brought a project home.
