“Think of something? What can you even do? Propose to someone else? Who, the CEO? The problem is, the CEO’s a man!”Someone from the crowd exclaimed.Following this, a few of them began throwing criticisms at Zack once more. ‘According to the original plan, everything would be fine if Mandy Zimmer was the one who got the contract, even if it meant everyone would receive less money. But this troublemaker had to ruin the plan and stir up chaos, further escalating their chances of going bankrupt. Were it not for Senior Zimmer, Zack would have surely been shred to bones and pieces right there and then.’“Yeah! If only we followed Mandy’s plan!”“Boasting on and on about how great you are! See what’s happening now? You’re trash!”“Zack Zimmer, don’t tell me you’re actually one of the spies from the other families?”Zack expressed his dismay, “My dear uncles, all of you have been supporting me from the start. What’s more, I’m also one of the victims here! Please don’t worry, I’ll wor
“Old Man Stone, how can you add insult to the injury at a time like this?”“Yeah! Where are your business ethics?”“Last night, all of you arrived with fancy gifts in order for us to propose to you partnerships. And now in just one day, you’re retracting them? How despicable!”Upon hearing that, Yohann Stone and others did not back down and continued to retaliate.Filled with rage, Senior Zimmer slammed the table and bellowed, “Enough!”Only until the voices died down did he turn to Yohann Stone. With a sincere look on his face, he asked, “My friends Stone and Brooke, I cannot do anything now that you have decided on this. Given that we’ve been partners for so many years, could you possibly give us three days to fix this problem? We’ll terminate our contracts if we still can’t solve the problem in three days. How about that?”Yohann Stone and the rest exchanged glances of agreement and nodded. “Alright. We’ll give you three days, seeing as how we’ve been business partners for suc
Senior Zimmer smiled, his eyes glinting. “Mandy, I know you feel wronged and you’re mad at us. I apologize for not trusting you wholeheartedly before. Sean, Zack, come over and apologize to Mandy as well!”Sean and Zack Zimmer glanced at one another awkwardly. They were already used to having people bow to them. To have either of them to apologize to Mandy, the family’s outcast, proved difficult indeed.The thing was, they had little choice but to do so. Taking in a deep breath as he faced Mandy Zimmer, Zack Zimmer bowed his body slightly and apologized. “Mandy, this time it’s my fault that I caused all of this trouble. Please forgive me.”A wicked grin flashed briefly across his face as he kept his head down, but he hid it well.On the other hand, Sean Zimmer grinned like a Cheshire cat and said, “Mandy, now that Zack has apologized, as your uncle I will also apologize to you. I promise the same thing will never happen again. Can you visit York Enterprise for my sake?”“For your
“Sir, your wife is here again for the matter regarding the investment. What should we do about it?” This time, Wendy Sorell really didn’t know what to do. Had it been Zack Zimmer again, she could kick him out with no issue. However, Mandy’s identity was too special for her to do anything as absurd.“Oh, her again?” Harvey York pondered for a moment and understood instantly. A man as cunning as Senior Zimmer would have obviously thought of this solution, since the Zimmers wouldn’t survive a second longer without the partnership with York Enterprise.Mandy Zimmer’s face flashed in his mind. Harvey York softened up slightly and said, “Then, this time, we’ll give them an investment fund of fifty million dollars…”“Huh?” Wendy Sorell couldn’t believe her ears.“The contract would be the same as last time.” Harvey York added. “If the Zimmers do anything stupid again, we’ll have guaranteed access to this property right away.” Realization dawned across Wendy’s face. The CEO was as smart
CEO’s office.Staring at the screen with both hands behind his back, Harvey chuckled. “Wendy Sorell’s doing a good job here. When the time comes, I should promote her as the general manager.”Yvonne Xavier, who was wearing her hair down, stood behind him. At his words, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and lightly replied, “Yes, then I’ll thank the CEO on behalf of Wendy for now…”Harvey York smiled and said, “Remind Wendy Sorell to wholeheartedly do her job as a good actress. There’s no need to be so polite just because Mandy’s my wife. I don’t even know how long we can last as husband and wife…”Saying this, Harvey York sighed. His feelings for Mandy were real. However…Upon hearing that, Yvonne Xavier was struck with shock. She didn’t seem to have absorbed the earlier parts of his words. “CEO, you… do you want a divorce?!”“Is it strange that I want to divorce her?” Looking outside with a faraway stare, Harvey York sighed. “I admit I definitely feel something deeper a
An Amex Card!The card lying before her was indeed the legendary Amex Black Card! There were no more than five pieces of Amex Black Cards in the whole city of Niumhi. Whoever owned this card must be someone distinguished and reputable!Even with this thought in mind, Sheri Wilson calmed herself down. There were only so few Amex Black Card holders, and the bank even had a special customer service counter for the sake of these customers’ privacy. It’s definitely impossible for them to come all the way here over a matter as trivial as increasing the withdrawal amount! Plus, these customers were prestigious folk who donned fancy attire. They wouldn’t even bother lining up to small cashiers like these.Sheri Wilson’s mind was fixated. Either this card was fake, or it was stolen from somewhere else!‘People nowadays really do have the guts to try this, huh?’Looking at Harvey York, Sheri Wilson shook her head inwardly. Her upper lip curled even more in disdain.The next thing he knew,
As she spoke, Sheri Wilson laughed scornfully in her mind. Yvonne Xavier’s looks, body and elegance weren’t just a class above hers. Sheri was envious, but she refused to admit it.‘This thief is something else. He went around lying to people that he’s a CEO, how shameless can this man be?’Yvonne Xavier fixed her gaze on Sheri Wilson and said in a serious tone, “Please be mindful of your language. This is our company’s CEO. If you keep up with this disrespectful act, we don’t mind opening an account at another bank. Your bank may be reputable, but there are other banks in this city as well.”‘Our very own CEO who invested millions of dollars without even blinking an eye, and you called him a thief? This has to be the worst joke ever.’Sheri Wilson sized Yvonne Xavier up and down and replied contemptuously, “Should I believe you just because you’re saying he’s not a thief? Do you even know what’s an Amex Black Card? Only people who own billions of dollars in our bank would have the
“I’m okay, sir, but you…” Yvonne Xavier was worried. How could a CEO with a high status be wronged in this way, at a degrading place such as this to boot?Harvey York said faintly, “I’m fine. Let their president come and see us. We’ll stop using this bank for my accounts, the company’s accounts, and the company’s investment funds.” “Yes, sir!” Yvonne agreed immediately. When she looked into Harvey’s eyes, she became filled with determination. There was no doubt that the CEO was indeed the CEO. One simple command from him alone would determine the life and death of this bank. She thought that this decision was irreversible, even if the president did come.“Are you still pretending? You still have the guts to play pretend? It really is a pity that you didn’t go on to become actors!” Sheri Wilson chided. “You! Take the card!”At her behest, one of the security guards quickly grabbed the Amex Black Card from Harvey. Harvey chuckled coldly. He offered no resistance and simply allowe
"You're bold, kid. Are you giving me death threats? If you're really that brave, give me your name. I'll visit you next time?" The corner of Zeon's lips curled as he spoke to Harvey with a snarky tone.Slap!Harvey did not waste his breath and slapped him instead."You're talking too much. You can let your hand go and let the dice roll. If worse comes to worst, both of us can fight to the death. If not, you can bend your knee and apologize! I'm very impatient, so I hope you can decide quickly," Harvey said without even giving Zeon a shred of dignity. Instead, he kept on testing Zeon's bottom line.It was obvious for Harvey, he knew how to deal with someone like Zeon. To deal with those who called themselves mad, the best way to deal with them was to completely humiliate them in the shortest time possible to make them know how useless they were. Otherwise, they would begin to show their ego again.Harvey slapping Zeon made Jade's eyes twitch. She could not believe what she was seei
"One!"The moment Harvey counted down the last number and wanted to let go of his thumb on the Thunderblast, Zeon immediately pressed his hand on Harvey's thumb, refusing to let it go."What are you doing, Mr. Zeon?" asked Harvey mockingly. "What a coward you are. In this kind of situation, isn't it better if I just let go of my thumb and let everyone die with us? Didn't you use this to threaten everyone? You're afraid now? Could it be that you're just a fake? And that your fearlessness before death is just a facade? Don't tell me the truth because you grew up without love, so you have a mommy complex?"Zeon was so angry that his whole body was shaking when his secrets were revealed. "You bastard! You dare humiliate me? I'll kill you!"Slap!Harvey slapped Zeon's face using his free hand. "So, what if I'm humiliating you right now? I dare you to let go, and we can all die together!"That slap was strong enough to shake Zeon's body. He was instantly falling backward. However, Zeon
Zeon, Blade, and their men all gritted their teeth as their expression turned dark. When had they ever suffered such humiliation, especially with their status? But the problem was that they would not dare to go against Zeon in such a condition.Which meant that they had lost tonight."Excuse me, but whether there's justice in Grand City or not is up to me. You have no right to say that," said Harvey calmly at this time as he stepped forward. He appeared right in front of Zeon like a ghost.Zeon, who was in glee, instinctively stepped back at this moment. But before his foot landed on the floor, Harvey had already leaned into him and his right hand into his pocket. Then, a Thunderblast appeared in Harvey's hand.Then, Harvey moved his fingers, and the Thunderblast's pin had been removed with a click.It was not that loud, but it sounded extremely loud on the terrace.Everyone who was watching Clarion like a joke all let out a blood-curdling scream and tried to hide behind covers.
"Ha! Aren't all of them quite prideful? Why are they all cowards now?" There was a twisted and arrogant smile on Zeon's face as he narrowed his eyes, scanning everyone's expressions."All of you are so prideful. But in the end, you're nothing! Especially you, Clarion! How can a rubbish like you still have power over Earth Hall? All of you are a disgrace to Grand City!" exclaimed Zeon. At this moment, he was not impressed with them at all.Meanwhile, Blade was angered by what was happening before him. He could not help but roar, "Do you think you can scare us with a few Thunderblasts? No matter what happens today, I'm going to protect our Hallmaster! I believe Grand City's law and justice will be upheld!""Law? Justice? Here, catch," Zeon revealed a twisted smile and waved his right hand. A Thunderblast immediately appeared, and he was pretending to throw it. He also whistled at the same time.Whee-ee…Blade and the other Earth Hall elites instinctively rolled away. At the same tim
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
