At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.In the VIP room on the second floor.A silhouette stood with hands behind her back, gazing at the man below who was blended in with the crowd. Her beautiful eyes showed delight.Not far from her, a man who was playing chess got up and stood beside her.He too looked at the indifferent man standing among the crowd, complicated waves surging in his eyes.After a while, he started to speak.“Queenie, that’s your big brother. Aren’t you going to greet him?”“You poured your heart and soul out for this banquet, after all.”When he was finished with his words, he gazed at her quietly.He hailed from the impressive York lineage and the first of the four masters of the family, Quinton York.The woman before him was Queenie York.Quinton York’s expressions did not change much, but Quinton’s words had a deeper meaning. The way he spoke was as if he was teasing and testing her at the same time.She acted like she didn’t hear anything he said and continu

Yvonne Xavier’s eyes lit up and she smiled. She shot a discreet glance at a particular direction without attracting any attention.That man shook his head slightly, and her smile widened.“Everyone, I have something to announce.”“My CEO said he is no longer the heir of the York family.”“Calling him Prince York would be improper.”“From today onward, everyone can address him as Mr. York.”At this, the guests fell in an uproar.“Prince York was no longer Prince York.” What did that mean?Maybe the truth was truly just like what the rumors spoke of?Prince York had left Buckwood because he lost the battle for authority in the York family?If he did fail, then why did he come back?Plus, the York family went out of their way to organize a banquet just for him at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard.Manager York was not present, not to mention the four masters of the Yorks.What was all this supposed to mean?While everyone present made their own private guesses, Yvonne Xavier

When would Prince York arrive?This was the question everyone was concerned about.Yvonne Xavier flashed them all a pleasant smile.“Actually, the CEO had already arrived a while ago. But he is usually very discreet and doesn’t attend events like this. For him to come today is also a surprise to me.”Yvonne Xavier’s statement caused uproar in the guests.Immediately, they started scouring the hall for Prince York.Yvonne Xavier coldly added, “Everyone, what you’re doing right now is disrespectful toward my CEO.”“He ordered me to tend to everyone. So if there’s any problems, naturally I’ll be the one to handle it. If you need anything, please do let me know as well.”Simon Zimmer’s face changed after hearing her words.“We’re finished! She’s hinting at everyone to bring out their gifts. We don’t have anything, we’re done for!”Lilian Yates’ face had also darkened.Everyone understood what Yvonne Xavier meant as well. Of course it’s that they should bring out their gifts!“T

Simon Zimmer was perplexed.Harvey York was displeased. Despite his efforts, it turned out that his father-in-law truly wasn’t meant for big things.Without a second’s hesitation, he looked at Mandy Zimmer.“Mandy. If you trust me, stand up right now. This is a great opportunity!”Mandy Zimmer hesitated for a split-second, but then stood up.Instantly, everyone’s gaze shifted toward her.Yvonne Xavier saw her and was surprised as well.“Ah, Mrs. Mandy Zimmer.”“The CEO was rather disheartened, thinking he might not have another opportunity to work with you after he left Niumhi. Who would’ve thought we’d cross paths here?”“No wonder the CEO looks up to you so highly! I’ll report back to him in full detail about your respect for him.”Everyone present was shocked.Before, they didn't know how Mandy Zimmer and her family managed to sneak in here.Now they understood. She and her family already had connections to Prince York before.Maybe getting closer to the family would be

Even after she reached home, Mandy Zimmer was still in excitement.Before, she mentioned that she had never met Prince York in person.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates refused to believe it.Looking at the way Mandy reacted, they suspected their daughter might be the woman Prince York had kept in the dark.If it were true, they couldn’t consider forcing a divorce for the time being.They would have a cover-up if Mandy Zimmer conceived a child with Prince York.But what if Prince York hated the live-in son-in-law?The husband and wife pair was at a loss, to the point where their stomachs hurt.Despite that, they all enjoyed a grand time that evening.They even gained some respect for the Zimmers. Nobody would underestimate them from then forward.Right then, Senior Zimmer gave the family a call.“Simon, you don’t have to come to work at the Zimmers’ company from tomorrow onward.” Senior Zimmer said coldly. Following the plan, the Zimmers’ company would officially use the headq

Zack Zimmer shot his father a disdainful look. “Dad, can you stop acting like a coward?”“Problematic?”“What do you mean, problematic?”“Our collaborative projects with the Silvas are fixed.”“Plus, we’ve already got Brent Silva on our side.”“As long as we have Brent Silva, what use would Simon Zimmer be to us?”“What’s more, I heard Brent Silva was humiliated by Simon Zimmer and his family at the welcome banquet.”“If we don’t kick them out, we’d be the ones suffering in the end, wouldn’t we?”Hearing Zack’s words, every one of the Zimmers nodded in unison.Who did Simon Zimmer and his family think they are?They actually embarrassed Mr. Brent Silva. They didn’t want to live anymore, did they?“I also heard that everyone except their family brought gifts to the welcome banquet!”“When Prince York said he didn’t like gifts, they actually believed it!”“Ha ha ha…!”All of them burst into loud laughter.In the past, they thought Mandy Zimmer was the only naïve one. Who w

Mandy Zimmer pressed her forehead, frowning.Harvey York tried to comfort her and said, “Mandy, what’s the big deal? Right now the one in power is York Enterprise, not Senior Zimmer.”“Seeing how close you are to Secretary Xavier, she’ll definitely do something when she finds out that you’re fired.”Mandy glared at him. “How is that possible? The Yorks may have taken away fifty-one percent of the Zimmers’ shares, but why would such a big company notice or care about a family as insignificant as the Zimmers?”Harvey shook his head. “Who said that? Didn’t you talk to Secretary Xavier just now?”“Didn’t she invite you to attend Sky Corporation’s opening ceremony?”“When that time comes, if you’re not going, then who would have the right to attend as the Zimmers’ representative?”“The Zimmers’ business is now officially under York Enterprise. If you didn’t attend Sky Corporation’s opening ceremony, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kicked the Zimmers out!”“So you don’t have to worr

Senior Zimmer knitted his eyebrows together. “That’s not a bad idea. Mandy was the one who worked with the York Enterprise in Niumhi. She should definitely be the representative!”“Yeah, Grandpa! She ate and lived off our family for so many years, so obviously she should do something for us in return!”“That’s right! Right now she doesn’t have any status in our family’s company. Since we’re willing to offer her a job, she should be grateful and complete this task perfectly!”“Yes, she has to go. Isn’t begging what she does best? It’s her job, anyway.”All of the Zimmers spoke up in agreement.After thinking about it for a while, Senior Zimmer finally said, “Okay, Sean. You go over and ask Simon and his family to come back. Tell them they’d get their jobs back if they succeed making connections with Sky Corporation. If not, they’ll never return to the Zimmer family!”…Harvey, Mandy, Simon, and Lilian were having breakfast.Xynthia Zimmer had completed the process of transferrin

“Mandy Zimmer, I’m ordering you to represent the Zimmer family and go to Sky Corporation by today!”“No matter the method, you have to bring us some projects! I don’t care if you even sleep with Prince York!”“Otherwise… Hmph!”Senior Zimmer’s tone on the other side of the phone was heavier than ever.Realistically speaking, someone in his position shouldn’t be speaking in such a manner.When Sean Zimmer prepared to head out, Zack Zimmer came up with many ridiculous ideas to force Mandy Zimmer into being the representative.Mandy wore a look of utter disbelief.She knew her grandfather was always biased towards Zack and his family, and looked down on her and her family. Yet, she never expected he would descend to such a low point.At that very moment, Harvey York strode forward and snatched away Sean’s phone. With a rough swing of his hand, he smashed the phone hard to the ground. It immediately crashed with a deafening shatter.Crack!Indistinct noises crackled out from the

Meanwhile, the rest of the Zimmers were in their rented mansion.Senior Zimmer slammed his tea cup to the ground, and it crashed with a loud bang. He howled, “They really said that?’After returning from Mandy Zimmer’s place, Sean Zimmer reported everything to the rest of the family and exaggerated the facts.Senior Zimmer wore a dark look and exclaimed, “Well! It seems Simon and his family are all successful enough in their careers to stop listening to me!”“Do they think us Zimmers couldn’t do anything without Mandy?!”“Zack! You’ll be the one in charge of this matter for now. All you have to do is to speak well. In fact, you don’t even need to bring back any projects for us!” Senior Zimmer announced.Zack Zimmer who wanted to refuse at first beamed when he heard the second half of Senior Zimmer’s words.If all he needed to do was to send greetings and form connections with the executives of Sky Corporation, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. Zack believed he’s a pro at this.H
