Category: Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 5021

Chapter 5021

“I’ve been unwell recently. I easily get upset and spout nonsense. Please don’t mind me!

“I’ll bring out some thirty-year-old liquor for you later!

“Treat yourself at home! Don’t hold back, okay?”

After seeing such a turn in Lilian Yates’ attitude, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer were utterly speechless.

They already knew exactly how Lilian behaved, but they still had no idea what to do whenever she pulled something like this.

She completely forgot about the two slaps she had to endure the moment she talked about money.

Harvey heaved a sigh of relief.

At least Lilian stopped running her mouth at this moment.

Compared to her usual self, this was a thousand times better!

***

At the same time, inside the Zimmer Enterprise’s CEO office.

Clang!

An antique vase was slammed right into the ground.

Reuben Jean was heavily panting. The discreet and menacing look on his face was utterly gone then.

He furiously slammed the table before he screamed, “Bastard!

“That damn bastard!

“They want me to go to Mandy myself?!

“Who do they think they are?!

“The Zimmer family are just bastards to the Jean family!

“How dare they even go against people like us?!

“Bastard!

“That contract was a trap! Mandy should be taking responsibility for making the mistake!

“Do they think that I’m just a decoration?! How dare they keep showing off before me?!”

Reuben was on the verge of coughing up blood.

Ever since he joined the Elder Group, his status within the family had been immense!

Even the head of the family would have to pay him respect.

The other branch heads would give him extravagant gifts every single year.

But because of Harvey and Mandy’s contract, even Simon did not mind trampling over him.

The higher-ups and shareholders remained silent while Reuben was lashing out in rage.

Everyone seemed a little miserable.

‘So what if Reuben’s impressive?’

‘He lost everyone’s money! That’s a huge sin!’

“Mandy’s taking control of us with the contract, Elder Reuben!

“You can’t just give up like this!

Elodie Jean looked miserable when she sought a compromise. “Maybe I should go!

“It doesn’t matter if I grovel or give my position back! I’ll make sure to deal with the problem!

“I won’t let you down!”

Aunt Witby also spoke behind her.

“That’s right! I’ll go with my daughter! We’ll definitely get through the situation…

“After all, we have to focus on the bigger picture!

“The ninth branch’s interest is more important than anything else!”

After seeing the pitiful expressions of the mother and daughter, Reuben was utterly enraged!

He waved his hand before looking at the monk, who had been silent all along.

“You go, Aung!

“Remember! Send Harvey to the afterlife, then drag Mandy back here with her legs snapped in half!

“As for Xynthia, you can do whatever you want with her as a reward!

“Play with her however you like!”

“Of course,” Aung replied.

“I don’t send live-in husbands to the afterlife…

“But I’ll gladly do it for him.”

Chapter 5020

Lilian Yates was not too thrilled about the idea.

“What if Young Master John decides to help?

“Don’t forget! Cedric Lopez is Elodie Jean’s boyfriend! That man is Young Master John’s friend!

“There’s a huge chance that he’ll take action!”

“He won’t!

Harvey showed a determined expression.

“Blaine John has no use for the Corpse Walkers anymore.

“Besides, Blaine still has a headache about Darby Xavier’s situation. He has no time to deal with such a trivial matter at the moment.

Mandy was confused. She did not quite get what Harvey meant by that statement.

“You don’t get it?” Harvey asked while he glanced at Mandy.

“The Jean family took action and got the underground casino swept up.

“Darby was also arrested and locked up.

“At the same time, dozens of ledgers there point towards

Blaine’s involvement with the casino.

“This is clearly a violation of the country’s law. This alone should be enough for them to stay behind bars for a while.”

“What?!

Mandy gasped with a horrible expression.

She did not think the Jean family would actually do anything about the situation, let alone deal with it that way.

‘How is this supposed to solve anything?!

‘Both sides are being torn apart for this!

‘Blaine definitely wouldn’t lend a hand to Reuben for this…

‘But when Blaine and Darby come out…’

Mandy felt a sudden headache.

“Let’s talk about our current problem for now,” said Harvey.

“Judging from the situation, Reuben definitely has no support in the city. This means that his support of Elodie’s rise wouldn’t have any effect.

“I heard that Elodie even promised all the higher-ups and shareholders’ dividends to multiply at the end of the year…

“How can she even accomplish that?

“Using her words?

“The higher-ups who are used to living in decadence would have their salaries cut off. Who would even want such a thing?

“The ninth branch is surely in a mess right now!

“That phone call only means that Reuben’s starting to panic!

“After all, hidden enemies are harder to deal with…”

Lilian instinctively nodded.

‘I have to admit, this bastard’s quite capable…

‘He completely sees through everyone…’

Lilian was treating the Ostrane One as her own house at this point.

She would surely go against anyone trying to stop her from enjoying herself.

“Good point. If so, we’ll just hang low for now.”

Mandy also understood the situation.

“Let’s find a place to go on a vacation. We’ll turn our phones off and have some fun for a couple of days. Someone’s bound to go nuts after that…”

Lilian nodded.

“That’s right! That way, Mandy’ll become head again!”

Simon Zimmer’s eyes lit up.

“If Reuben can’t deal with the situation, what else can he do other than to give up Elodie’s position?”

“You’re awesome, Harvey! You made that old fox give up with just a few words!” commended Xynthia, clapping her hands.

“Oh, dear son-in-law! I knew I could rely on you!” said Lilian with a forced smile.

“You should stay for the meal today!”

Chapter 5019

Chapter 5019

Harvey York calmly snatched the phone from Simon Zimmer.

“Elder Reuben Jean, right?

“If you want to see Mandy Zimmer, then get over here yourself.”

Then, Harvey hung up the call soon after.

“You bastard! How can you just decide on that yourself?!

“You’ll kill us all for going against Elder Reuben like that!

“Surely he called us because he wants Mandy to regain her position!

“This is Mandy’s chance!

“Our family will live on the streets if Mandy doesn’t earn money!

“You’ve ruined Mandy’s future again!

“You need to pay the price for this!”

In Lilian Yates’ mind, Mandy would gotten many benefits for returning even if she could not return to her position.

She only wanted to enjoy the rest of her life in the massive villa…

Other problems could wait.

“You’re still being this naive now?”

Harvey calmly smiled before looking at Mandy.

“The Foster family’s contract has a trap. If you leave the Zimmer Enterprise, not only will the contract be void, but the company will also have to pay a hundred and fifty million dollars to the Foster family.

“Reuben’s only trying to give you an idle job to solve the problem.

“You don’t have to go.

“When he can’t hold himself back anymore, you can take everything that belongs to you before anything else.

“You’ll remain as the head of the ninth branch.”

Mandy froze. She showed mixed feelings after hearing Harvey’s words.

‘He must’ve suffered a lot just to have such a condition written inside the contract…’

Lilian pondered for a moment before coldly chuckling.

“You have a pretty good plan, Harvey!

“But don’t forget!

“Reuben isn’t Elodie Jean. His power and connections are immense!

“If he wants to, he has a lot of resources to mobilize!

“A hundred and fifty million dollars isn’t much for him either!

“Even the Foster family wouldn’t dare go against him if he wants to use his connections to support Elodie’s rise!

“After all, he’s being supported by the Jean family!

“You want to handle him with just a single contract?! Dream on!”

“Of course, I know the Jean family is backing him up. As an elder of the Elder Group, I know he also holds a lot of power and connections.

“That said, since the major shareholder of the Foster family is the one enforcing the contract, even the head of the Jean family wouldn’t have much of a say.

“Besides, the head would probably just sit back and watch!

“Without the contract and the money, no matter how powerful Reuben is, it wouldn’t be easy for him to find other contracts or loans to compensate either.

“The Hermit families and the Patel family are also dead set on shutting them down!

“They’d solve the problem if the John family lends them aid, but I doubt they’ll do that…

“After all, Reuben doesn’t have that kind of power.”

Mandy froze after hearing Harvey’s explanation.

It had only been a short while since they arrived in Golden Sands, yet Harvey already had total control over the entire city.

Chapter 5018

Chapter 5018

Lilian Yates covered her face in disbelief. She did not expect Harvey York to actually hit her.

“You call him your father-in-law, yet you don’t acknowledge me as your mother-in-law?!” exclaimed Lilian as she gritted her teeth, glaring at Harvey.

“Hit me again!

“Come on!

“Hit me if you’re that impressive!

“You can have my daughter if you do!”

Harvey frowned after seeing Lilian’s intense expression.

“Are you really going to act like this, Lilian?”

“You’re calling me by my name?!

“Look at you, Harvey!

Lilian chuckled out of rage after seeing him completely unfazed.

“This bastard’s disrespecting his elders! He called me by my name!

“Let me tell you something ! I will never agree to your damn marriage!

“If you two keep forcing it, I’ll slam my head right before your doorstep!”

“Why don’t you do it with that instead?” Harvey asked, pointing at a stone lion statue.

“I’ve been wanting to replace that for a while now.”

“You…

Lilian was shaking in rage. She felt her chest aching as if it was about to burst.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down before looking at Mandy, who had remained silent the entire time.

“Mandy!

“I’m your mother!

“Are you just going to watch as this brute takes advantage of me?!

“Are you just going to cast me away for him?!”

Mandy frowned.

“Harvey’s probably here to talk to me, Mother.

“He isn’t here to cause trouble.

“Don’t you want to keep enjoying your life here? Don’t you want to stay?

“If you do, you should just keep quiet for now. Alright?”

Lilian’s eyes twitched. She instantly held herself back for the sake of her living a good life.

“I’m a reasonable woman!

“But we can’t just let the situation go either. Harvey needs to pay!

“No! He should compensate for our loss!

“Give Mandy the Ostrane One, Harvey!

“I’ll forgive you if you do!”

Even if Lilian were to give in, she would not hesitate to ask for more benefits before doing so.

Mandy’s face instantly turned dark.

“If you keep saying things like that, we’ll move out immediately. “We’ll just sleep under a bridge instead. I’m not embarrassed anyway.”

Lilian was enraged.

“Do you really think that I won’t?!

“Do you think that I’m staying here on my own accord?!

“I’m doing this for you!

“Do you understand what Harvey’s doing right now?!

“He’s been hooking up with God knows how many women outside! If you don’t take control of him, you’ll be nothing to him in the future!”

At this very moment, Simon’s phone suddenly rang.

He froze for a moment before picking up the call.

“Mandy, Elder Reuben wants us to head to his office,” mentioned Simon with an odd expression.

“He said that he has something to talk to us about.”

Mandy and Lilian froze.

“Right now?”

Mandy was also confused. It seemed like deja vu…

Chapter 5017

Chapter 5017

Mandy Zimmer could not help but speak after seeing the miserable look on her mother’s face.

“Forget it, Harvey. She’s my mother after all.”

Harvey York smiled before casually taking a few sips of his tea.

“She’s only able to stay exactly because of that.

“Then again, I didn’t expect she’d treat the place as if it was hers …”

Lilian Yates gritted her teeth.

“You better not cross the line, Harvey!

“Let me tell you something! You did this to the family!

“You have to pay!

“How about this? Hand over the Ostrane One to Mandy! I’ll only forgive you after that!

“If not, don’t even think about seeing my daughter again!”

“You’ve already been with big families for decades, Lilian,” replied Harvey.

“Reuben’s stopping at nothing to support Elodie’s rise. What does that have to do with me?

“Even without me, they’ll find other excuses to bring you down.

“If anything, you’d probably end up worse than this!”

Lilian instinctively shuddered before she abandoned all reason.

“Get it straight, Harvey!

“We’re family with Elder Reuben. Even if he did take us down, he wouldn’t be this merciless in the first place!

“But because you keep slapping him around as you please, he decided to make our lives miserable!

“I don’t care! You have to take responsibility no matter what!

“Besides, you’re not putting the house under my name either. It’ll be under Mandy’s!

“Don’t you like her? So what if you give her the house?

“You can’t let it go?

“Are your feelings that cheap?

“Or are you saying that the villa isn’t even yours to begin with?

“You’re just using it to show off in front of Mandy so she’d start looking up to you, right?!

“You also forged the certificate just to fool us!

“How dare you?!

“You bastard!”

“Enough,” Harvey interjected.

“Even if I did rent the place…

“I can still throw you out if I want to!

“So, can you zip it?”

Lilian was speechless, as if she was being strangled.

Simon Zimmer and Mandy remained silent as well.

They were not idiots either. They knew Reuben Jean would find an opportunity to make things harder for them even without Harvey.

Harvey’s presence only hastened the process.

From another perspective, he might have even saved the family.

Without a second thought, Simon stepped up before dragging Lilian back.

“Enough of this! Let Harvey talk to Mandy about this!

“Maybe there’s still a chance for Mandy to get the company back!

“As for the Ostrane One, we’ll talk about that another time!”

Slap!

Lilian swung the back of her palm across Simon’s face.

“You really are just filth, you bastard!

“You can’t even stand up for me, your own damn wife!

“You’re worse than Harvey!”

Slap!

Harvey instantly slapped Lilian on the face.

“Who told you that you can slap my father-in-law just like that?”

Chapter 5016

Chapter 5016

“How dare you still come here after all that, you bastard?!

“Mandy got fired all because of you!

“The entire family’s on the verge of collapse!

“How dare you show up now?!

“Do you really think I won’t break your damn legs?!

Lilian Yates looked as if she was about to skin Harvey York alive.

“Leave! Get out of the Ostrane One right now!

“This isn’t a place that you can come to!

“You’ll pollute the environment ! The place will turn foul if you keep staying here!”

Then, Lilian pointed toward the entrance.

“I’d rather let a dog stay here than let you in!”

“Is that so?

“Do you think you’re the actual owner of the place or something?”

“Oh?

“This place belongs to my daughter! That means that it’s mine!

Lilian showed a righteous expression.

“Are you telling me that it’s yours?”

“I’m sorry, but it is actually mine,” replied Harvey.

After showing up, Mandy Zimmer overheard the altercation since she got word that Harvey arrived.

“Harvey’s right, Mother. The Ostrane One isn’t mine. It’s his. He is lending the place to me for the time being.”

Simon Zimmer, who had been observing the entire time, gasped.

“What? This is Harvey’s?”

The family had also been quite confused. Mandy did not have the finances to buy such a high-class villa, while the ninth branch had been suffering due to the lack of funds…

But after moving in, they did not bother to ask either. They immediately assumed that the villa belonged to Mandy.

Lilian, who had been acting all high and mighty, felt it was like a slap in the face.

“You ungrateful daughter!” she exclaimed.

“You’re helping this savage of a man?! How dare you claim the villa is his?!

“Do you think I’d believe you just because you said that?!”

Naturally, Lilian did not want to believe such a thing.

She could never admit that such a good villa belonged to Harvey.

She did not want to believe she was taking advantage of him instead.

Mandy calmly took out her phone before showing Lilian the real estate certificate on the housing department’s website.

“I’ve been trying to tell you this, but I couldn’t find a chance to.”

Lilian felt extremely parched when she saw Harvey’s name on the certificate.

Harvey stepped forward before smiling calmly.

“Do you have an opinion of me visiting my own house?

“You can say whatever’s on your mind.

“But I wouldn’t listen.

“That said, I can kick you out too, if you dare say anything. “After all, I’m not your live-in son-in-law anymore.

“Right?

“Or are you saying that you’ll let Mandy and me get our marriage certificate so that you can keep staying here?” Harvey faintly smiled.

Lilian gritted her teeth while showing nothing but utter resentment.

She had already thought of a way to ridicule Harvey and trample all over him…

But she did not expect that she would be talked down like this.

As for moving out…

She had already been showing off the place more times than she could count.

If she were to leave and stay in her small villa again…

Her reputation would be completely tarnished!

Chapter 5015

Kairi Patel lightly chuckled.

“You’re falling a little behind, Sir York.

“First off, an elder like Reuben Jean can never order a branch director like that around. After all, he knew full well just how he’d end up doing something like this.

“The John family, the Xavier family, and the Braff family are involved. There’s no way that he’d be able to survive after this.

“Then again, he still did this despite everything. This means that he’s extremely confident. He isn’t intimidated at all.

“I also discovered that he has ten million dollars in his private account in Switzerland…”

Harvey sighed.

“That’s quite a lot of money…

“A branch director wouldn’t be able to earn that amount his entire life.

“Did you find out who gave that to him?”

“Not yet, but I don’t have to anyway,” replied Kairi.

“I have other information that might be of use to you…

“The day before yesterday, the head of the Jean family came to Golden Sands. Mandy Zimmer met him, pleading for him to resolve the conflict between you, Blaine John, and Darby Xavier.

“I don’t know if he agreed to such an arrangement, but he left after visiting Indigo Mountain. Everything then happened the day after that…

“I can’t imagine he has nothing to do with the situation.”

Harvey frowned.

“The head of the Jean family? Typically, he should be burying the hatchet with the other families, correct?

“Is he dead set on going against them?

“Is he insane?”

Kairi chuckled.

“Maybe not. He’s a sly old fox after all.

“He probably knows that Blaine and Darby can’t do anything to him even if they figure out he’s involved.

“After all, they don’t have the power.

“That said, Mandy was the one who incited the entire situation.

“Judging from that, it’s clear who they’ll target next.

“My dear Sir York, the city will be in an uproar very soon…

“Not only are there more pawns, but more players will join the fight as well.

Harvey merely shrugged.

“There at least needs to be a goal to all this, right?

“The head’s goal isn’t to become the city’s first-in-command anyway.”

Harvey finally understood the situation.

Since the Braff family was about to expand in Wolsing, Blaine’s movements were as clear as day.

As long as the John family were not idiots, they could use this opportunity to clean up the city and solidify their position as the only kings of the city.

After all, the waters run deep here, but not too deep.

With the Braff family’s departure, the lack of a leader from the Heaven’s Gate branch, and Evermore’s involvement…

The John family had a good chance of completely taking control of Golden Sands.

It was safe to say that with the head of the Jean family’s actions, he could clarify everything and speed up the process.

What an expert!

After putting down the phone, Harvey got Thomas Burton to drive him to the Ostrane One.

There were some things that he needed to talk to Mandy about beforehand.

Even before Harvey could see Mandy, Lilian Yates instantly pounced at him the moment he stepped inside the villa.

Chapter 5014

Chapter 5014

“But no matter the case, the branch made a big

accomplishment by shutting down the casino and apprehending the suspects.

“From a righteous perspective, not only did the director do nothing wrong, he’d probably be rewarded for this.

“No matter how unhappy Soren Braff was, he had no choice but to endure.

“He even awarded the director a medal himself to calm the branch’s police force.”

Harvey York frowned for a moment before chuckling.

“That’s not good.

“Blaine John and Darby Xavier will think we’re trying to crush their spirits!

“Not only do they already hate me, the Braff family would probably get involved as well.”

Amora Foster lightly nodded.

“You should take care of yourself, Sir York.

“The Braff family belongs to the government. Even though the situation affects both the John family and the Xavier family’s interests, they didn’t do anything wrong from the side of justice.

“You’re different.

“You’re completely alone. It’d be easier for them to go against you…”

Harvey lightly nodded.

“What of the director then? Do we know anything about him?”

“Based on my information, the director seems to be an orphan who grew up at the orphanage. He has been working for the police force since he graduated. He’s a diligent worker.

“When Soren gave him his medal, he said he had been following the situation for the longest time. After getting enough evidence, he decided to take action immediately.

“His reasoning is completely flawless. The branch also has all the right to do something like that.

“That said, he didn’t even inform Soren in advance before the raid. Despite completely going against the John family and the Xavier family, he even casually took the medal…

“There’s no way he’s acting alone.”

Harvey showed a faint smile.

“The head of the ninth branch was replaced, then Darby got immediately arrested…

“Judging from the timing, someone’s definitely trying to cause chaos in the city…

“I got it now. I’ll handle the situation. Just make sure that the contract’s dealt with.”

Harvey hung up the call soon after.

The moment he did, a text popped up on the screen.

Harvey froze after taking a short glance.

The text came from Kairi Patel, whom he had not seen in a few days.

Kairi only wanted to tell him that the Jean family owned the orphanage where the branch director grew up.

“Mordu’s Jean family?”

Harvey frowned while he held his phone.

After pondering for a long while, he decided to call the number.

An extremely seductive voice echoed from the other side of the phone.

“If I didn’t send you the text, were you even going to call me back at all?

“You’re only here because I found something you’re interested in, right?”

Harvey felt a sudden headache after hearing the alluring tone.

“Stop joking around,” replied Harvey while suppressing his anger.

“I’m just curious. How did the branch director even come together with the Jean family in the first place?

“And if that actually was the case, who’s ordering him around? Reuben Jean?

“What’s the point of doing all this?”

Chapter 5013

Chapter 5013

Harvey York froze.

“Reuben Jean ousted Mandy Zimmer from her position?

“Is he not afraid to make a mess of the entire situation?”

Amora Foster quickly explained everything she knew.

“Last night, Reuben used his special privilege, available once every year, for Elodie Jean to take charge instead of Mandy.

“Today, he used his connections to try and keep the hundred- and-fifty-million dollar contract going.

“Simply put, he’s doing everything he can to keep Elodie in charge.”

“Did you agree to it then?” Harvey asked.

Amora smiled.

“Of course not.

“Then again, Reuben was a once prominent figure with many connections. He managed to get a few of the elders from the Foster family to talk to me about this.

“After telling them that you specifically requested this, they kept their mouth shut soon after!

“But even though we already declined Reuben, he’d still find other ways to compensate for the losses caused by Elodie’s rise.”

“It’s not that simple now, is it?

“Mandy and I signed the contract, but the Zimmer Enterprise would have to pay a hundred and fifty million dollars for damages if Mandy were to leave…”

“If I remember correctly, there should be a clause like that in the contract, right?”

Amora nodded.

“There is one, yes…”

“Go claim your debt then.

“Elodie wants to replace Mandy as the head, right?

“Then, she should at least pay the price for that.”

“I understand.”

Amora lightly nodded before she hesitated for a moment.

“Is there anything else?”

Amora lightly gritted her teeth.

“Other than that, something else also happened in Darby Xavier’s casino.

“Half an hour ago, some director of the Golden Sands Police Department’s branch decided to lead a group and raid Darby’s casino!

“Not only did they catch dozens of customers there, but they also confiscated dirty money worth hundreds of millions of dollars. As the organizer, Darby was arrested too.

“They found a ledger with Blaine John’s name in it. The police have already sent a warrant and are ready to question him soon.”

Naturally, Amora only knew of all this because she was paying close attention to Harvey’s encounters.

But she would not speak up about it since she feared that Harvey would mind.

Though Harvey did not care about such a thing.

“The casino’s shut down?” he asked while lightly frowning.

“Darby’s locked up?

“Blaine’s also involved in the situation?”

Harvey also intended to shut down the casino, but he told Soren Braff to pause the operation for the time being since the John family was involved.

After all, letting Soren do such a thing would force the Hermit Families against the John family ahead of time.

Along with the Xavier family being a part of the top ten families, the Braff family would have a challenging time if they went to Wolsing in the future.

Then again, he did not expect it to still happen despite all that.

After pondering for a moment, Harvey showed a faint smile. “Does Soren know about this?”

“Not before. He does now.”

Amora sighed.

Chapter 5012

Chapter 5012

Lilian Yates froze after seeing the sight. She wanted to scold Mandy Zimmer but knew there was no way to alleviate the situation.

After all, she was simply powerless.

Reuben Jean was using the authority granted to him once every year!

Elodie Jean’s rise was as good as done at this point.

Mandy sighed before leaving without saying a word.

Xynthia Zimmer wanted to say something but quickly followed Mandy while she kept silent.

Lilian and Simon Zimmer hesitated momentarily before bowing in front of Reuben and left.

That said, their expressions were as horrible as could be.

After getting inside the car, Lilian could no longer hold her feelings.

“That bastard! It’s all Harvey York’s fault!

“You already divorced him, yet he’s still here causing trouble!

“If only he indulged Elder Reuben a bit more, none of this would’ve happened!

“Mandy will still be the head of the ninth branch!

“It’s all because of him!

“He’s still trying to be the family’s live-in son-in-law?! Bastard!

“Think again!

“I won’t even let him set foot inside our damn house!”

“Enough! Keep quiet!” exclaimed Simon.

“If it weren’t for Harvey begging Brayan Foster for the hundred-and-fifty million dollar contract, Mandy would’ve been fired already!

“Even without Harvey, the outcome would’ve been the same!

“Reuben’s clearly here to support Elodie! Can’t you see that?! “He’s just using the situation as an excuse!

“If this didn’t happen today, it’ll happen tomorrow anyway!

“In any case, Reuben won’t stop until Elodie takes the position!

“It’s good that we got this over with anyway! Who knows what Reuben would do to take care of us if that wasn’t the case!

Then, Simon looked at the person standing outside the car.

“Harvey’s not to blame for this…”

“You’re teaching me how to do things?!

Lilian was utterly enraged.

“Harvey’s trash! You’re also trash!

“You look like you have everything under control! If you’re really that capable, then steal the damn position as head of the ninth branch back!

“Even if you run your mouth the whole day…

“All this is still Harvey’s damn fault!

“If it weren’t for him, Mandy wouldn’t have lost her position !

“Tell him that he needs to answer for this!

“If he doesn’t give me at least a hundred and fifty million dollars as compensation for this, I’ll rip his mouth apart if he shows up in front of my daughter again!”

Lilian showed a fierce expression, as if she was being reasonable.

Mandy wanted to say something, but she could only sigh in the end.

***

On the next day, in the Fortune Hall.

Harvey was sipping his tea while thinking about what happened the night before.

At the same time, he was tending to a few customers.

When Harvey was done, a call came through. It was Amora Foster.

Harvey frowned before picking up the call.

“Hello, Sir York.”

Amora spoke in a gentle tone.

“Cut to the chase.”

Harvey had no intention to waste time on Amora.

Amora smiled. She was not asking for anything since she knew she could not change Harvey’s impression of her because of what she did.

“Did you know the ninth branch appointed a different leader since last night?”
