Senior Zimmer’s face had turned slightly darker when he looked at Yvonne Xavier.“Ms. Xavier, what… do you mean?”Yvonne chuckled, then stared at Zack Zimmer that was standing near them.Zack trembled upon the sight; his face immediately turned ugly.“I thought CEO Zimmer, you said that you read the contract closely, apparently not. I’m afraid the contract you’ve read was the one that was modified.”“Since CEO Zimmer did not know about the exact details of the contract. I brought with me today Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association to talk to you about the details and consequences of breaching the contract.”Yvonne clapped her hands lightly.After a moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the hall with his briefcase.Senior Zimmer’s mind was blown immediately after seeing the man.This was Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association. He had a high status.For ordinary families and companies to meet him was almost an impossible task. He acted noble and virtu
‘What?’‘Not only that, York Enterprise owns the land, and we have to pay them back four hundred and fifty-six million dollars as compensation?’Everyone was shocked after hearing it. The sight of the Zimmers looking at Chairman Hawkins had all turned sluggish.“Impossible! How could this be?! I took a look at the contract a few days ago! Not like this! Zack, bring the contract to me!”Senior Zimmer was sweating profusely. If he had known about the contract details, how would he even think about selling off the Commercial Center Project?“Grandfather…”Zack Zimmer was showing a face full of guilt. He did show Senior Zimmer the contract, but it was a fabricated one, not the one that Mandy Zimmer signed previously.He really wanted to go to Buckwood because the project in Buckwood was already destined to fall into his hands.He had enough of the feeling of being chained up by Mandy in Niumhi. He wanted to show his capabilities and prove himself in Buckwood!So he fabricated the
Senior Zimmer stared at Chairman Hawkins leave the hall blankly, then his sight started to dim. He fell onto his iron throne, his expression constantly changing.“What are we going to do?”“Even if the family sells all of our assets, I don’t think we’ll get four hundred and fifty-six million, right?”“Speaking of which, why was the contract a fake? What’s going on?”“...”The Zimmer family was gossiping. Their sight landed upon Zack Zimmer with their faces full of anger.If the Zimmer family were to go bankrupt and ended up begging for food on the streets, Zack would be to blame for everything!Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, barely hanging on to his sanity. His finger pointed at Zack while trembling.“Zack… Tell me… You… You… Why did you do this?!”“Do you not realize that you would be ruining the whole family?!”Zack opened his mouth but could not bring himself to say anything.This was the true definition of might making right!At that moment, Zack could not think of a
“What do you mean shameless?! Don’t just spout out nonsense. Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you shut up! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to say anything you want here anyway?!” Quinn Zimmer said with a peculiar tone.Harvey York coldly said, “Since you have the capabilities to make up an excuse like this, why are you even afraid of being bad-mouthed by other people? Who was it that was crying and shouting at my wife to snag the contract when nobody could?!”“And now you forged a fake contract to deceive yourself and others, making a huge mistake, then you decide to shift blame!”“Can the two of you be any less shameless? You think grandfather is an idiot to believe something like this? Or do you think that he has Alzheimer’s and he would believe whatever you say?”Senior Zimmer was sitting on his seat while his eyes twitched.‘Screw you! Of course, I believe him! He’s my grandson! Why wouldn’t I?!’The problem was that the live-in son-in-law had already
“I disagree!” Harvey York stood up and roared.‘The live-in son-in-law again?! Does everything involve you?!’The Zimmer family all glared at Harvey, full of hatred. If it weren’t for Zack Zimmer’s past lessons and was afraid of Harvey breaking his head when he goes crazy, he would’ve started to throw his punches at Harvey immediately.“If you disagree, do you have another plan?” Senior Zimmer said while he stared at Harvey coldly.Harvey laughed.“Grandfather, do you know about the allusion of bringing the bramble and asking for punishment?”“And?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“I think that the CEO of York Enterprise does not need the money, the thing that York Enterprise took the most offense is not the termination of the contract but something else,” Harvey talked freely.Senior Zimmer got interested.“Then tell me, what does York Enterprise care about?”“Respect.”Harvey said with a stern face.“Does York Enterprise need money? No!”“York Enterprise is supported by the York
Harvey York said confidently, “Should be.”“Even if it doesn’t, at least it showed them the attitude of the family.”“I think, even if the CEO of York Enterprise was being unreasonable, he would surely cool down after seeing the vice CEO of the Zimmer family kneeling in front of his office, right?”“But what if that doesn’t work?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“Wouldn’t the honor of the Zimmer family be lost as well?”“Grandfather.”Harvey tried to persuade him patiently.“Even if there’s no way to fix it, at least we can show them our attitude!”“Even if we can’t fix it, we could still try to stall and buy us a few days for everyone to think of ideas, right?”“Besides, a certain someone had already kneeled before at the antique fair. One more isn’t that much, right?”Senior Zimmer was deep in thought, he was perplexed about the situation.“Of course, it might be even better if the CEO of the Zimmer family were to go himself.”Harvey took the opportunity.“If I could, I would go
Mandy Zimmer sighed, her expressions perplexed.She was from the Zimmer family after all, she only wanted to see the family safe.On the family’s brink of destruction, Zack Zimmer apologized. Her grandfather even had urged her; she saw no point in saying anything more.Harvey York secretly sighed, Mandy could have asked for more authority in the family during that situation.But Mandy valued her family more than anything else.Even if she asked for it herself, she might not even accept it.Looking at Mandy cooling herself down, Senior Zimmer stood up.“Zack, since things have been decided, don’t keep stalling. When you go this afternoon, remember to bring a lavish gift.”He was forcing Zack to go to the Yorks’ whatever it takes.Zack did not know how to feel, he only stared at Quinn Zimmer at that moment.The woman that was soon to be the most noble of all others did not even say a word.She was not married into the Silvas yet after all, she did not even know what Leon Silva
Mandy Zimmer seemed down when she walked out of the hall.Harvey York swiftly caught up with her.“Dear, do you feel wronged?”“Wronged?”Mandy sighed.“I’m a Zimmer, no matter how indecent these people are, these trash, they are my family.”“I just think it’s a shame. Why can’t the Zimmers just finish the Commercial Center Project properly? Why are they even thinking of going to Buckwood?”“Once we finish the Commercial Center Project, the Zimmer family would be able to build a good foundation with the project!”“The Zimmer family could finally be ranked among Niumhi’s first-class families with this project. Why would they be so greedy?!”Mandy felt horrible. She had given so much effort to finish the project.She almost could not accept the current conclusion.But what if she couldn’t anyway?Could she have changed anything on her own?Impossible.“If it were you, how would you change it?” Harvey said after giving some thought.But there was something that he did not s
