“What’s the matter?”“He’s been sent to the emergency room?!”The initially calm and peaceful Jacob’s expression changed instantly. He stood up, furious.“CEO Warner, are you alright?” Mandy asked.Jacob replied with a frown, “CEO Zimmer, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone the negotiations for a few days.”“My son was beaten up badly on campus and was sent to the hospital. The perpetrator wasn’t found, either. I have to go take a look.”“My son can’t possibly be beaten up for nothing now, can he?”Mandy held the collaboration between their two companies in high regard. Listening to Jacob, she said, “Then I shall accompany CEO Warner to visit as well.”“Alright.”Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.Jacob’s face twisted into a vicious expression when he saw Mason pushed out of the emergency room, covered in plaster casts.“Who did this to you?! Didn’t you tell them that you’re the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”Jacob’s face was filled with murderous intent.“Father, I told
“Hurt?”On the other side of the phone, Harvey had already forgotten about the affair with Mason.When Mandy questioned him, he suddenly remembered.“I didn’t beat up anybody. I only sparred with a kid.”“Sparred?”Mandy was livid.“You tell me that it’s only sparring when you hospitalized the heir of Regency Enterprise?!”“I’m telling you right now! You’re in big trouble!”Mandy hung up angrily.She took a deep breath and calmed down soon after, and then bowed to Jacob. “CEO Warner, this whole incident is our fault!”“I’m willing to pay one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your son’s to compensate for your son’s emotional assault, along with the medical fees.”“Regarding our collaboration, my company is willing to give ten percent of our shares to express my apologies.”But Mandy’s words only made Jacob laugh coldly. “Money? You really think Regency Enterprise is short on money?”Mandy frowned.“Then why don’t you make your request, CEO Warner? We’ll do everything
At the Yateses’ residence. Jacob dropped by for a visit, bringing hefty gifts with him. His face bore a horrid expression. “Sir Yates, is South Light’s business climate already this bad?”“People could go on and cripple their competitor’s child just to win a negotiation?”At this, Keith Yates’s expression changed. “Who’s acting so presumptuously?!”“South Light’s business climate has always been fair and square! Whoever’s causing a ruckus like that is only making life difficult for themselves!”“Didn’t you tell your opponent that I’m the one supporting you behind the scenes?”Jacob sighed and replied, “Sir Yates, perhaps your influence isn’t so great after all.”“My son Mason already brought up your name, but someone still had the audacity to break his ribs. He’s in the hospital right now, barely hanging on!”“What?!”Keith stood up furiously, his expression horrible.Because of the previous incident, the connections that belonged to the Yateses had decreased by thirty perce
Jacob smiled slyly at seeing how agitated the Yateses had become. Prior to this, he had run some investigations and discovered that Mandy Zimmer was actually the granddaughter-in-law of the Yates family.However, as he was unsure of her relationship with the Yateses, he needed to say all those things to get information out of the Yateses.Now, he understood that the Yates family did not welcome Mandy Zimmer and Harvey York. It was safe to say that the Yateses loathed the couple!Since that was the case, Jacob could go on conducting his business unscrupulously.He could even use the Yateses against Mandy Zimmer, since they were supporting him. He could force Mandy to submit to him!Keith fell in deep thought.“Tell Finn to come back home.”Soon, Finn Yates arrived home.He was already the third-in-command of Buckwood Police Station. His current position was a deputy inspector.He was considered to be an outstanding man despite his young age.“Finn, go look for Harvey York
Harvey replied calmly, “Some people are just low. You can’t make them see eye to eye without beating some sense into them.”“If I didn’t do that and that boy continued harassing Xynthia, God only knows what might happen next.”“Anyway, I can’t be with Xynthia all the time either.”“That’s right! Brother-In-Law’s only trying to protect me. Please stop blaming him already.”Xynthia pulled Mandy’s hand, flashing Mandy a pitiful gaze.Mandy let out a sigh, uncertain of what to say at this moment.But the problem was Mason had been hospitalized, and reason was on his side. How could she possibly handle this matter?Mandy had no intention to accept the conditions set by the other party.However, they naturally wouldn’t give up that easily.This was certainly headache-inducing!Just then, the doorbell rang.Jacob Warner and Finn Yates were at the door, bringing along a group of inspectors with them.Jacob’s face was as cold as ice.Finn tapped the firearm on his waist and annou
“That’s right! Isn’t the student council president basically the king of the university? I think this is normal. After all, Mason does have the qualifications!”“On the other hand, you’re the shameless one! You were acting so lovey-dovey with your brother-in-law, only to be shamed into anger when you were exposed and beat Mason up!”Xynthia’s face was ugly. She turned to Dwayne. “Senior Haris, you’re willing to stand up for Mason even after he beat you to a pulp?”Dwayne replied with a shocked look, “Xynthia, can you stop twisting the truth? The man who hit me was your brother-in-law, Harvey York!”“I didn’t even want to pursue this matter any further, but you had to bring it up!”Xynthia was dumbfounded by Dwayne’s confession. She never anticipated for Dwayne to simply shift the blame toward Harvey.At this moment, Harvey understood.The collaboration between Jacob and the Yateses had already been arranged.Dwayne’s father may work for Buckwood’s government, but he was only
Finn’s words distorted Simon and his family’s faces into horrible expressions.Finn’s title as the Yates family’s prince was not for show. It was said that he had studied in the university established by the South Light General Police Department, and was the champion of the police force’s fight league a few times while he was there.Though he wasn’t the type to casually throw a punch, if he actually did so, he would surely cripple or even kill his opponent.The Yates family sending Finn Yates to aid Regency Enterprise and show up this time was enough proof that Harvey was finished!Right this moment, getting crippled seemed like an insignificant consequence. Harvey might be forced to live the later half of his life behind bars after getting crippled. A fate like that was definitely worse than death.Looking at Harvey’s icy expression, Finn assumed Harvey was frightened. Finn approached Harvey and gave Harvey a light slap on the cheek. His face was filled with ridicule.“Since
Twelve o’clock midnight, at the Emperor Clubhouse.This place was property of Regency Enterprise, and was closed for the night.Finn Yates had already left with the benefits provided by Jacob.The way they saw it, they only needed to scare the Zimmers a bit to deal with them. There was no need for Finn to actually show up.Soon, Harvey arrived.“What? Only the live-in son-in-law came?”“No matter, I’ll sleep with his woman after crushing all of his limbs!”Jacob spoke without mercy. He knew how to torture a man’s soul and drive that man into a life worse than death.When Harvey entered, a dozen security guards immediately surrounded him. Someone swiftly locked all of the windows and doors in the building, preventing him from leaving and from any sounds or shouts to leak out.Nobody expected for Harvey to stride in without a care in the world, take a seat before Jacob, and pour himself a glass of red wine.His calm expression stunned Jacob. Jacob had only seen this kind of
