The man sitting opposite Tara Lewis was Frank Zummo. He built up his own business and started a small company, and currently had a net worth of millions. He had even bought several villas; one in the city center, one in the suburbs, and another one on the beach.Such a man was the definition of a successful person. Naturally, Tara’s parents were extremely pleased with him.They looked at him as if they were looking at their son-in-law. The more they gazed at him, the more satisfied they became.As for Frank, he knew he wanted Tara the moment he laid his eyes on her.Tara was not only incredibly beautiful, but also had a gorgeous body and plenty of useful connections.Marrying such a woman would be a great boost to his career.Frank felt that he overpowered Tara in every aspect of their careers. He knew she was well within his reach.Frank’s parents shared his sentiments. After all, their son was nothing short of amazing.“Old Man Lewis, if you think it’s okay, then let’s settle
Even Tara Lewis was just as stunned.She never thought that Harvey would be so anxious to come find her straight away.“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know where this is? Are you trying to make trouble?”Frank Zummo couldn’t help but yell in anger.He just had to say a few more sentences to bring Tara down. Yet, this guy came out of nowhere and instantly spoiled his plan.He wasn’t sure when such a good opportunity would come again.Right now, he wanted nothing more than to choke Harvey to death.Tara’s parents stared at Harvey curiously and asked, “Dear, who is this? Why does he look familiar?”Tara replied helplessly, “Father, Mother, this is Harvey.”Tara’s father’s expression changed drastically. “What? Harvey? Your college classmate? What is he doing here? How did you get in touch with him?”“He… we participated in the class gathering before.” Tara explained. “Naturally, we got in touch.” Frank’s father thundered with a darkened face, “Old Man Lewis, w
“Yes.” Harvey nodded. “A quiet, comfortable and safe house. Most importantly, the facilities must be perfect.”Tara Lewis understood that Harvey York wanted to buy a villa. Otherwise, he could have simply bought another house in the Gardens Residence. After all, it was the best community in Buckwood.“Well, our company has the type of villa you want.” Tara said quickly. “I’ll show it to you.” She then turned around and said, “Uncle, aunt. I’m sorry about today. I have to deal with my classmate’s request first. Let’s meet again next time.”She was initially against this marriage because she felt that it was too soon. Harvey came at the right time, giving her an excuse to get away.Looking at it in this way, she was quite grateful to Harvey.Tara’s parents stood up as well and said, “Let’s do this. Since everyone has almost finished eating, let’s take a look at your working environment. How about it?”Although Tara was against this marriage, her parents were impatient and wanted
Everyone was stunned into shock.They shot Harvey York and Tara Lewis looks of disbelief.“Buy…buy a villa…?” Frank’s voice was trembling.“Yes! Buying a villa.” Tara said bluntly. “If you want an ordinary house or a large apartment, the Gardens Residence will have it.” Frank was quite baffled. His assets weren’t enough to buy a house in the Gardens Residence, even the smallest one.Let alone a villa in the Gardens Residence!None of the villas on sale were under sixteen million dollars.Frank’s father suddenly burst out in laughter. “Young man, you’re doing great business! You must have received a lot of commissions and rebates from buying a villa for someone, am I right?”Harvey was just an intermediary in Old Man Zummo’s eyes.“Hehehe, seems we’ve underestimated you. No wonder you’re so eager to find Tara. This big of an order should have a commission of tens of thousands, correct?”Frank quickly regained his senses and mocked Harvey.Truthfully, he was still a little en
Harvey did not even ask about the price.Shawn Bell and his wife were his best friend’s parents. He must give them the best of the best, and nothing less.It was just a villa. It was nothing much.For Harvey, this was just part of his everyday life.However, Frank Zummo and his father took in the scene in utter shock.They thought the treatment Harvey received was just random luck, and that Harvey was just pretending to be rich.Nonetheless, now they could see that Harvey was truly rich.He didn’t need to ask the price when he bought the villa. He treated it as if it was a mere cabbage from a roadside stall!Thinking of their cynicism against Harvey previously, they flushed in embarrassment.Perhaps in Harvey’s eyes, they looked like complete clowns.“Mr. York, this way.” Wilson Carter said diligently. “Do you want to have a look at the drawings first?”Harvey thought for a brief moment and ultimately decided that he should have a look. At the very least, he should know abou
Standing on the sidelines, Tara Lewis was unperturbed.She was only slightly dazed.Harvey’s order alone would grant her a commission of at least 1.5 million dollars.She didn’t even need to do anything, and had just simply watched the events unfold in silence.Seeing that Tara had earned one million dollars in an instant, her parents suddenly felt that Frank was very ordinary.Their daughter could earn a million in just one day. For a man who had properties of only a few million, he was completely out of her league.One in the city center, one in the suburbs, and one at the seaside… How could all these be compared with a villa that was casually bought?“Old Man Zummo, I think we should put aside our children’s affairs for now. We’ll talk about it later.”Tara’s father stood up and said ruthlessly.“Huh? No, what does that have to do with anything?”When Frank saw that Tara could easily earn a million dollars, he was even determined to win her over. However, her father’s word
Nighttime.A group of people from the Silva family led by Brent Silva came to see the Zimmers. This time, he did not give Zack Zimmer any face. His presence intimidated Senior Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers.“Young Master Silva, what wind has blown you here? It’s already midnight…”Senior Zimmer looked at the crowd in black suits tagging along Brent, trembling. He could hardly speak.Brent’s face was cold, not a trace of gentleness in his expression.“What wind? Of course, it’s the fatal wind!” Brent snarled coldly.“Your live-in son-in-law is certainly amazing! How dare he interfere with the Silva family’s affairs?!”“Do you think that once you have Sky Corporation’s backing, the Silva family can’t do anything to you?”“I’m warning you! You better give me a clear explanation on this matter! The Silva family was the one who allowed you into Buckwood, and we can also send you back to where you came from!”“If this whole problem isn’t properly handled, forget the engagement!
“What?”“You’ve always been like this! You never care about how I feel!”“Now you have completely offended the Silva family, and they’re taking it out on the Zimmers!”“There’s absolutely no room for the Zimmers to survive in Buckwood if the Silvas are dissatisfied with us!”“Our lives might even be in danger. Are you trying to kill us all?”Mandy had already broken down in tears.Harvey wasn’t able to explain anything at all. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t say anything.“What should we do now?”Senior Zimmer had a headache.Zack Zimmer thought of an idea. “There’s only one solution now…”“Let Mandy divorce Harvey!”“Only then, the Zimmer family won’t have anything to do with him!”“That’s the only way we can save ourselves!”Quinn Zimmer and others immediately shouted their approval. “Yes! Divorce him immediately! Divorce him right now!”“Only then will everything be solved.”Although both Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates had been ostracized from the family, they s
