Simon Zimmer’s face darkened.The big project that he brought back was taken away, and the framework agreement that belonged to his daughter was snatched by someone else.Now, he could only stand aside and watch as other daughters marry into a wealthy family. He felt very uncomfortable.“We have to make Mandy divorce that loser Harvey as soon as possible.” Lilian Yates said coldly. “With that hoodoo around, our lives can only get worse!” Simon Zimmer took a deep breath and said, “I also want that to happen! But the old man gave me a warning before I left. The Zimmers’ big day is near. If anything off happens during that time, I’m dead!”“The old man’s afraid that Mandy will steal other people’s spotlight. He won’t let Mandy divorce Harvey under any circumstances!”Lilian slapped Simon hard across his face and screamed fiercely, “Simon, are you going to do whatever that old man says? Can you be assertive at least for once?” “First, Prince Silva! Then, Prince York!”“If our dau
Harvey waited for about half an hour before he finally entered the house, carrying some meat and vegetables. “Father, Mother, I just passed by the market and found something on sale. Let’s have a big meal tonight!”Mandy smiled. “Okay!”Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates’ gazes were strange. When they looked at Harvey, there was no disgust or helplessness inside their eyes.Instead, they were filled with hopelessness. There were some things that they no longer wanted to talk about.Mandy refused to get a divorce. They had no choice but to let it slide. They decided to give up.Now, all their hopes rested on Xynthia. ***The next day, Mandy went to the Zimmer Enterprise for work. Harvey went out with her.Before they left, Lilian said,“Mandy, it’ll be the National Day in two days. Your sister just started her studies in a boarding school. I’m not sure if she’ll get used to it.”“So, you’ll be responsible for bringing her home.”Lilian had it all figured out. Since her eldest daugh
Harvey spent a few seconds playing with his watch before finally turning to look at Queenie. “You’re coming to see me so openly. Aren’t you afraid that Quinton will find out and kill you?”“Would he have the heart to kill such a cute little sister?” Queenie smiled sweetly.“Cute?” Harvey smirked mockingly. The woman before him could be described as many things. Manipulative, a femme fatale, a cold beauty, dangerously fliratious… Cute was not one of them. Cute did not suit her at all.Sure enough, Harvey couldn’t deny her beauty. However, he knew that it was nothing more than a weapon for murder.A weapon so powerful, it could harm the country and the people.“If you didn’t think I’m cute, why did you take me to the Yorks back then?” Queenie asked calmly, recalling their past.“I was only eight when I brought you back. How could I anticipate that the three-year-old little girl I found on the roadside would try to kill me ten years later?” Harvey replied, indifferent.“Of course,
Queenie York stared at the direction Harvey left. After a while, she broke into an amused smile. “Second Brother, let’s make a guess. Do you think his words were meant for me, or for you?”A man in a tunic walked out. He was playing with a jade-made chess piece clenched in his hand. He said indifferently, “It’s for me, and also for you…”“Aren’t you afraid?” Queenie asked.“Why should I be? You mustn’t be afraid if you want to tame a fiery horse. The Yorks are like that, and so are you.” Faint crimson flashed through Quinton’s eyes, but he quickly recovered his composure.He wasn’t sure if Queenie understood him. She replied casually, “Since Big Brother has come to declare war, then I’ll stop playing tricks on my sister-in-law.”“Whatever.” Quinton strode out of the suite.“But let me advise you, don’t overdo it. Even I can’t save you if you keep playing with fire!”As soon as he finished speaking, he left and vanished without a trace. Queenie’s smile disappeared. She looked a
This incident made the unmarried women of the Zimmer family incredibly happy. They were so excited, they couldn’t sleep well for days and nights.They could sense that this was another one of Prince York’s betrothal gifts for his future wife. Whoever who was elected as the new CEO would attain fifty-one percent of shares from Sky Corporation.As for Senior Zimmer, he would be replaced.On this day, all the relatives of the Zimmer family arrived in Buckwood and held a meeting in Zimmer Enterprise’s new company building.Senior Zimmer sat in the CEO’s seat and looked at the rest of the Zimmers before him. Ambition and passion coloured their eyes, regardless of their gender. The CEO of a brand-new company, backed by the powerful Prince York! This kind of progress was destined to make them into a first-class family in Buckwood!Such an incredible position was making the Zimmers knock their heads from sheer excitement.Once again, Senior Zimmer felt powerless.After he came to Bu
The Zimmers exchanged silent glances as they listened to Zack’s spirited exclamation.Although everyone had their own greed and ambition… Senior Zimmer had been in charge of the Zimmers for many, many years.Even until now, he still wanted to remain in power. Who dared to disobey him in person?“Father, we too think that you are most suited to be the CEO!”Sean Zimmer was the first to stand up and support Zack.“Yes! As long as you continue to be the CEO, no matter what the new company is called, it’s still the Zimmer Enterprise!”“Grandfather, you’ve brought us Zimmers this far. Under your leadership, becoming a first-class family in Buckwood is within reach!”Senior Zimmer knew they were insincere, but their words satisfied him. “You all…”“I’m senile. I’ve always wanted to retire and enjoy a good fortune.”“But when I look at you youngsters, apart from Zack, none of you are capable enough!”“I can’t allow you to act on behalf of the Zimmers and laze around. Embarrassing
“Yes… It seems that there is such a rumor.”“Prince York wanted young people to be the new CEO.”“Prince York did mention newcomers bringing in a fresh perspective. He wanted to give us Zimmers a chance to prove ourselves. We can’t make any mistakes.”“We all truly support you, Grandfather. But is it alright to disobey Prince York like this?”“Prince York owns fifty-one percent of our shares. In other words, he can control our company now and in the future. Does it make any sense for us to choose the new CEO right now?”Senior Zimmer fell silent.The Zimmers pretended to look discomfited, as if saying all that was against their conscience.In truth, they were about to crack broad grins.How would they get a chance to rise if they let this old man remain in power?Now that this live-in son-in-law had come forward to make trouble, they just went along with it.This way, they would have the opportunity to become the CEO.After all, this live-in son-in-law could never be the CE
If Senior Zimmer couldn't not find a scapegoat to vent his anger, he would end up unleashing the full brunt of his fury on Zack.Zack knew his grandfather all too well.Whoever “suitable” at this moment would be extremely unlucky.Just then, his eyes fell on Mandy Zimmer.Senior Zimmer had always hated her, anyway. Letting her be the most “suitable” person would be great."Grandfather, I think Mandy is the most suitable!”“After all, she was the one who brought back the framework agreement! She deserves to be the CEO of the new company!”Zack blurted out, speaking without a care in the world.He must praise Mandy! The more he elevated her, the worse things would be for her.Zack’s intention was lost on the rest of the Zimmers. However, some of them contemplated his words and ended up agreeing with him.“Yes, Mandy is familiar with the people of Sky Corporation. So, it’s okay for her to be the new CEO.”“Besides, she has nothing to do all day long. She can’t keep being a rice
