“Yvonne, please pass the message down. Terminate the automotive city project that has been discussed in the morning.” Harvey York said and did not even bother to look at Kevin Quinn.“Yes!” Yvonne Xavier responded simply.After putting this old-model phone on the table, Harvey looked at Kevin who was almost kneeling on the ground at the moment, and said with a smile, “Mr. Quinn, why are you bowing to me? I’m a worthless trash. I can’t afford it.”Kevin did not dare to stand upright. He laughed subserviently. “Mr. York, what are you talking about? Didn’t you say it just now? If I beg you to come back, I have to kneel and call you Father…”“Don’t do it. I’m not that unlucky to have a son like you.” Harvey waved his hand.“Yes, yes. I’m not worthy. I’m not worthy. I’m so ignorant before, but I know that Mr. York is a generous man. Please have some mercy.” Kevin’s face stiffened. Harvey was indifferent. He was flipping through the magazines on the desk at will.Kevin gritted his te
“No need. No need.” Kevin said. “Someone may think that something bad has happened here if you call the police. It may affect the business if we can’t explain it… I’ll deal with him. I’ll just give him some money to send him away. It was not worth it for this kind of person…”Kevin felt that the cold sweat was about to wet his shirt while he was talking.‘It’s entirely your fault! As Mandy’s best friend, you do not know about her husband’s true identity and even encouraged me to go after her. Are you so eager for me to die?’“Cousin, why are you so sweaty? Are you hot?” Angel did not notice anything and asked curiously.“The weather’s a bit hot, a bit hot…” Kevin said awkwardly.“Oh, then that’s fine. By the way, you don’t need to give him too much later, just thirty dollars will do… You can be rest assured about Sister Mandy. I’m here, I’ll surely help you get her!” Angel made a cheering gesture and then said goodbye with a smile. She did not want to go into the office anymore. S
“Yes, yes!” Kevin nodded quickly. He did not dare to think about the collaboration at this moment.After a while, he sent Harvey out of the showroom and saw him driving away in the Panamera. Then only Kevin realized that his whole body was soaking wet.“Mr. Quinn, I don’t understand why you…” The little chief looked puzzled.Slap! Kevin slapped her. “Do I have to explain to you whenever I do something? Remember! Whoever dares to spread even half a word about what happened today, I will kill him!”***After leaving the automotive city, Harvey saw that the time was a bit late. Thus, he did not return to the company. Instead, he went to the mall to buy something after sending a message to Mandy, preparing to take it home.On the other hand, Mandy felt a little shy when she learned that Harvey was going home. However, she also finished her work quickly and returned home.In the living room, Lilian was holding her phone, her expression was a little awful. Senior Zimmer had just ca
Lilian would know this person even if he turned into ash because he was the useless live-in son-in-law—Harvey! It was not that she had not seen a Porsche, but hers was the entry-level model, which cost about a hundred thousand dollars.However, Harvey drove the special edition Panamera where the price was about four hundred thousand dollars. Mandy’s car was only a fraction of that figure. Although the Zimmer family ran a big business, they were still a second-class family. It was difficult for ordinary people to pay so much money at once to buy a car like this.This car could be regarded as Lilian’s dream car. Hence, she could not react even when her useless son-in-law stepped out of the car.Harvey did not care about this. Instead, he walked in and greeted Mandy while carrying something in his hand. “I’m back.”Mandy was also a little dazed. She looked at Harvey and then at the Porsche outside, with a doubtful expression on her face.Harvey smiled and said after perceiving Mandy’
Meanwhile, Harvey was queuing up for the milk tea. His cell phone rang. Yvonne’s voice came from the opposite end. “CEO, someone has uploaded the video of Zack being driven out on the internet. The netizens were already questioning us, saying that we were too cruel. Do you think we need to hold a press conference to explain it?”Harvey thought for a while and said, “Are there any footage of the meeting room that day? Just cover up the female colleague’s face that was at the front desk and find someone to post it online.“Yes!” Yvonne’s eyes lit up when she heard that. ‘CEO is indeed the CEO. He’s able to solve such a big matter with just two sentences. Why didn’t I think of that?’Harvey had already hung up the phone without waiting for Yvonne’s compliment. He got his milk tea and was ready to go home.He suddenly heard a squeal of brakes behind him as soon as he walked to the side of the road. An Audi A4 suddenly stopped behind Harvey and vaguely heard a yell from the car.The ne
“Yes, Brother Howard, you’re great. You just found a job with an annual salary of seventy six thousand dollars. How can he—a live-in son-in-law understand what this means?!” The woman with thick makeup was beaming with pride as if she had found herself a rich husband.Harvey glanced at Howard in surprise. It seemed that this guy was quite capable. Howard thought Harvey was being jealous when he saw his gaze. He humbled himself and said, “Don’t irritate my old classmate. I’m just lucky. My cousin—Don Xander is the senior executive of York Enterprise. He sent my resume to the company before, and the company thought I was excellent. They decided to hire me. It’s nothing.”Howard was beaming with pride when he mentioned York Enterprise. After all, everyone knew that the Yorks—the top family in Niumhi were the ones behind York Enterprise. He would have a promising career if he was able to work with such an influential family.Harvey was stunned. It seemed he still did not know that Do
“He turns out to be a live-in son-in-law. He’s such a disgrace for men!”“Hey, this handsome guy is saying that this live-in son-in-law lured his classmates to buy expensive wine at their reunion dinner. However, he did not succeed in scamming his classmates. He even bragged that he has let someone waive the bill for them.”“How come there is such a person? He’s a shame for men!”“Such worthless trash! Why isn’t he fatally struck by a car?!”The people were gossiping about the story, and Harvey was instantly angry.‘I am in such a good mood today. I just came out to buy milk tea for my wife. How did I meet such a fool? Why didn’t I know that Howard was an idiot?’The woman next to him was even more arrogant now.Just when Howard was about to continue, Harvey had already carefully put the milk tea on the ground. He then said coldly, “Howard, I’m warning you since you were my classmate, don’t take this any further!”“Why? What can you do to me? Can’t I say about the things that y
Howard felt proud and purposely turned on the speaker with everyone watching upon hearing this. He then coughed and said loudly, “Manager, are you saying that the CEO of York Enterprise has signed my appointment letter?”The onlookers were looking at Howard with admiration when those words were being said.“This elite said that he’s working in York Enterprise with an annual salary of seventy-six thousand dollars!”“He’s surely from the senior management, and he has a bright future!”“This is what it means to be young and successful. It is said that York Enterprise is also very demanding even in finding their security guard. Moreover, this company has plenty of deep connections. Those who can enter the company are industry elites!”At this moment, many people were envious and jealous of him and wished they could replace him.The woman with thick makeup who was standing beside Howard was looking at him with admiration at this moment. The man she chose was great. He was a man amongs
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
Evening. Six o'clock. The sun was already setting. It was the most beautiful hour of the day, and it was also the most fortuitous hour of the day.However, an iciness slowly expanded from the Island Nation embassy in Wolsing's countryside, next to Lake Dove.According to international law, the area where the embassy was belonged to the Islanders. Which meant this area, including Lake Dove, was territory belonging to the Island Nation. This land followed the law of the Island Nations, and the ones protecting the land were their nations.After working hard for decades, the Islanders finally acquired such a good piece of land, which was a rare opportunity for them.Today was also a day that was worth remembering for the Island Nation's Shinto Way.How attractive it was for someone from the Shinto Way, one of the Island Nation's Six Schools of Martial Arts, to marry someone from Xavier of Wolsing, one of Country H's Top Ten Families.That was why the Island Nation's five other sc
Yvonne's expression was cold as she said nothing. Shingen could feel his anger building up when he saw how Yvonne refused to say anything, as if she were not afraid.He immediately pushed Jesse away, who wanted to stop him. He walked over and grabbed Yvonne by the throat. "Do you think you can act arrogantly just because Jesse is protecting you and I need to show your family respect? I'm warning you. After today, that sorry excuse of a man you love will have his fate decided!"I will turn his head into a decoration and put it right on our bedside table! I will make sure he watches us sleep together forever!"Shingen let go of his hand when he said that, then turned to look at Jesse with a dark expression. "It's getting late. Make sure she looks pretty, and get her into the bridal car! If you missed the time, then the entire wedding is off!"After that, Shingen gave a cold snort and left with his men. It was obvious that not only did he want to conquer Yvonne, but he was going to us
Yvonne did not even raise her eyes, as if an air of death surrounded her. It was as if everything she did today was just to complete a mission. And once that mission was done, her existence would be meaningless after that.Slap!When Shingen saw that Yvonne was like a marionette, his arrogant smile became cold and furious. He immediately slapped her on the face with an open palm.Yvonne said nothing but could not control herself and fell to the ground because of the force. Even her forehead was bleeding a little from the hit."Do you think you can avoid this by pretending to be deaf? Or do you think you can die once you've married into the Tokugawa family after the wedding is complete, and the Tokugawa family's and Xavier family's cooperation is complete?" Shingen said with a smirk."It's useless. If you obey me, then it's fine. If you don't, then I'll simply feed you the special Bonerust Powder that the Shinto Way makes. Forget about trying to commit suicide; you won't even have
