Harvey couldn't care less about them. He turned to look at Mandy and spoke softly, “Make the call, and put it on speaker mode. Trust me!” The phone rang. With that sound, the noisy Zimmers soon looked at each other helplessly. After that, they quieted down soon. Even Senior Zimmer who always favored Zack surprisingly held back at that moment. It was because of the fact that the investment funds of fifty million dollars were so important. If they did not have that investment funds, their Zimmers might be ruined. “Hello, how do you do? I’m the secretary of the CEO of York Enterprise—Yvonne Xavier. May I know who you are…” After a short while, they heard a pleasant but cold voice. Mandy’s exquisite face was filled with worry and awkwardness. She then said, “Miss Xavier, hello. I’m Mandy of the Zimmers. We met each other yesterday…” “Oh! It’s Miss Zimmer!” Yvonne sounded even colder. “To be frank with you, our CEO has listed the Zimmers as some unwelcome people. The CEO even cl
At the Zimmers’ residence. The people from the Zimmers looked at each other helplessly. After a short while, the lot of them fixed their gazes upon Zack. At that time, the entire truth was revealed.Harvey smiled faintly, and he retreated to the corner. What would happen subsequently was none of his business anymore. If the Zimmers were not stupid, they should know what to do then. A slap was heard.Senior Zimmer stepped forward and walked toward Zack. He then slapped Zack directly and vigorously. But at that moment, Zack only touched his face, and he did not dare to say anything. “How useless! You disappoint me greatly! It’s a waste since I’ve always raised you as an heir. But you…” Senior Zimmer was very angry that his body shook ceaselessly. “Grandpa, I didn’t mean for that to happen. I just talked to the female receptionist for a short while. Who knew that she’s the CEO’s woman?” In that instant, Zack regretted it deeply. “That’ll not do. We must go and resolve it. T
“Harvey, don’t you have a tinge of dignity? You’re just mooching off your family. How could you act like the head of the family? Do you really think that this is a place for you to raise your opinion?” Sean stepped forward and stared at Harvey coldly. It was because of Harvey that his beloved son was humiliated in front of so many people. At that moment, he detested Harvey tremendously. “Do you wish to speak for Mandy? Did she agree for you to do that? Even if she agrees, your parents-in-law haven’t spoken up yet. What right do you have to speak here? You don’t even know what seniority and propriety are! Get lost!” Sean glared at Harvey in contempt. “Brother, what Harvey said is right. Mandy is not going this time around!” Suddenly, Lilian spoke up. “You… What did you say?” Sean stretched his finger out and pointed it at Lilian. He was very angry that even his finger was trembling now. “What about you and me? You didn’t give us an explanation after you accused Mandy wrongly.
Lilian considered it for a short while, and she realized that it was quite logical. If that were indeed the reason that the Zimmers went bankrupt, then she would not be leading an enjoyable life.“Okay,” After thinking about that for a while, Lilian nodded and agreed to that. “No way!” At last, Harvey who had stood aside spoke again. At that moment, everyone from the Zimmers stared angrily at Harvey, including Lilian. The Zimmers had discussed it well. ‘Why is this live-in son-in-law coming to create a mess again? Don’t you have a little self-awareness?’ Lilian said coldly, “Harvey, get lost! This is not a place for you to raise your opinion!”“Mom, I’m speaking on Mandy’s behalf! I want to right the wrong which was placed upon her! At first, it was she who signed the contract York Enterprise. But the Zimmers didn’t care about that at all, and they changed the person-in-charge directly. Now the entire cooperation is ruined, and the Zimmers want Mandy to go and resolve it in p
Mandy would be appointed as the CEO as long as she retrieved the investment. That news was spread to the entire Zimmer family. A lot of them were stunned. But they did not say much for they knew that the Zimmers might really go bankrupt if they did not have that investment funds. For most of them, they did not find any problem with who was in power as long as they could always maintain a rather luxurious and extravagant life. As for Zack’s family, both father and son sat across each other, looking at each other helplessly. Zack looked menacing. He then said, “Dad, all of the people from my uncle’s family are nothing but losers. All of them are ungrateful people who side with the outsiders. Not only did they stand by and witness the scene where Harvey humiliated me, they wanted to take the position as the CEO just because of some pathetic investment. They’re bullying us to the extreme!” Sean focused his attention and said, “Senior Zimmer was right about one thing. The investme
Wendy’s makeup was exquisite, which made her look beautiful that day. At first, Howard did not recognize her. But after she took off her sunglasses, Howard was soon shaken to his core. His face paled too. She was the goddess whom he had failed to gain her contact. Not only did she work as a supervisor in York Enterprise, she drove a Porsche too. On the other hand, he was only working as a security guard there... Howard felt quite stunned, and it was with much difficulty that he managed to swallow slightly. Standing beside them, Harvey felt nothing. He walked toward Wendy, smiled and said to her, “The parking space which is left is quite narrow. Why don’t you take mine?” Wendy was shocked. ‘Mr. York came and spoke to me!’ She quickly opened the door of the car and got out of the car. She then said, “It’s fine. You just park there.” As she said that, she looked over that parking space. She was soon tongue-tied. ‘My CEO is indeed quite humble. It’s such a large parking space,
Wendy shook her head and said, “The CEO told us that he won’t have time to meet any guests lately. But regarding the incident with the Zimmers, the CEO has asked me to take charge of that solely. So if you have any request, just tell me directly.” Mandy took out a stack of documents and handed them to Wendy. She then said softly, “Then I’ll speak frankly with you. Miss Sorrell, the Zimmers’ shopping center project is indeed an exceptional asset. Although you’ve rejected us twice before, we still want to strive for the investment.”Wendy read through the documents carefully. She then smiled softly and said, “Miss Zimmer, since you came here in person, I won’t make it bad and difficult for you. We can invest in the Zimmers’ shopping center…” “Really?” Mandy appeared confused. She thought that she would be put in a difficult position, but it never occurred to her that it would be that easy. “Don’t worry. Just listen to me first.” Wendy said, “But since you were being disrespectful
“Alright, Mr. York!” Yvonne nodded. At the same time, she lamented for the Zimmers. How could they bully the CEO’s wife? The Zimmers really did not know how to behave themselves properly. “Besides, ask Tyson to come and meet me in the afternoon.” Suddenly, Harvey thought of someone else. Yvonne was stunned. Tyson was a gangster in Niumhi, and he led quite a good life, doing that. He never had any kind of contact with York Enterprise. Why would the CEO...“Ask him to come.” Harvey spoke again. Yvonne seemed to have something on her mind. But she still nodded respectfully before she left the office. After all, Harvey’s every command must be obeyed and carried out in York Enterprise no matter what. She just needed to fulfill her task, and she did not have to ask the reason. …Tyson came. But it was beyond Yvonne’s expectation. Tyson was usually a rather frightening and powerful person in Niumhi. After he received her call, he went to York Enterprise in less than half an hour. He
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
