At this moment, the waiter’s body quivered.‘There’s no way that this woman is actually Mr. Robbins’, right? If so, this kept man…’The thoughts he had were written all over his face. He almost couldn’t hold them in.Harvey wasn’t in a hurry, anyway. ‘Jake Surrey used his connections with the higher-ups of York Enterprise to get close to Mandy. The problem is, they won’t do him any good either way.’The moment the waiter arrived, Harvey said to him, “Didn’t you say I can’t attend the auction without an invitation? Why are you here, asking me back? What kind of joke am I to you?”The waiter was screaming on the inside.‘You wretched kept man! No, you disloyal cheater! How dare you still try to show off? If it weren’t for Mr. Robbins, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to sweep the bathroom floors of the Mountain Top Villa!’Alas, he dared not reveal these emotions. Instead, he said respectfully, “I beg your pardon, sir. I didn’t know you were an important guest of Mr. Ro

Her cold and elegant demeanour painted an exceptionally glamorous image, but her smile roused many hearts into excitement.When she looked around Dawson Robbins, she caught sight of Harvey York and grew puzzled.‘What kind of reputation does Dawson Robbins have? Why is there a shabby looking man near him?’Rosalie knew her way around the world. She held herself from questioning about the man. Around this point of time, Jake Surrey and Mandy Zimmer had already entered the hall. Wyatt Johnson on the other hand, did not. He was mesmerized by Rosalie’s stunning appearance. He walked over, and let out a cold laugh.“Oh? If it isn’t the live-in son-in-law from the Zimmer household?” Wyatt said suavely, inching closer. “Weren’t you kicked out before? How did you manage to sneak back in?” “Mr. Robbins, young miss… This man is the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer household infamous throughout Niumhi. I’m not sure how he got in such a classy place like this, but I would suggest you don’t

Wyatt Johnson chuckled coldly.“No need to thank me. Even if you leave now, I would have to inform the Zimmers about the thief from their household coming here to taint my eyes. It won’t do if I don’t demand an explanation from them.”“Of course, I can give you a chance. Grovel and beg for forgiveness, and I’ll let it slide. What do you say?”Harvey York smiled wordlessly, not deigning Wyatt any reply.Dawson Robbins couldn’t hold himself back and burst out, “Mr. Johnson, are you out of your mind?”Dawson had always wanted to be acquainted with Harvey for some time, but there had been no opportunities. Inviting him to the Mountain Top Auction was simply an act of apology.He knew that Harvey York was a discreet person, hence why he was just standing from the sidelines during all this. But when he saw that he was being insulted, he couldn’t withstand it a second longer.“Mr. Robbins, do you really think that the existence of this live-in son-in-law won’t be a thorn in my eyes?”

If they continued to argue with each other, the Naiswells might be burdened too. That was unnecessary for Rosalie Naiswell. After all, the reason she went there was none other than for the auction.“Miss Naiswell, please wait for a moment…” Wyatt Johnson became nervous. ‘I had taken a slap for you. How could you leave just like that?’At that moment, he caught up with Rosalie while turning around. He then said with an ugly facial expression, “Dawson, it’s over for you now. Just you wait and see. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer my family's money out of the bank. You won’t be able to be the CEO of the bank anymore!”At that moment, Dawson Robbins did not even look at Wyatt. However, he turned around and looked at Harvey York. He then sighed and said, “Mr. York, I acted rashy, and I didn’t hold myself back. I hope you don’t mind.” Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If you didn’t do anything about it when someone scolded you and claimed that you’re stupid, I’ll really look down on you, Dawson

Although Rosalie Naiswell was a cold and aloof beauty, Mandy Zimmer on the other hand, was a charming natural beauty. Those two women sat there together just like two beautiful flowers. It was such a pleasing sight, just like a world renowned painting. But Harvey York just took his seat there casually, and he soon ruined the rare and exquisite sight. At that moment, both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson had a drastic change in their facial expressions. “You’re just a live-in son-in-law. How did you even get in here? Staff! What’s wrong with your auction here? How could you let a person without an invitation card enter the auction house? Aren’t you going against the rules and regulations here?” Jake queried. “That’s right! Someone thought that he could enjoy the same treatment as ours after he became the live-in son-in-law. In the end, he doesn’t even know that he’s just a nobody!” Wyatt said coldly. “Yes! What is happening exactly?” “Don’t you organizers care to give us an ex

Soon, Jake Surrey sent a text message to Cecilia Zachary. Cecilia glanced at her phone. Although she was slightly helpless, she still stood up. She then smiled and said, “Mandy, don’t sit with this worthless piece of trash for the fear that you’ll be affected by his poverty and bad luck. You need to have some good luck today. Come and change your seat with me. Later, Mr. Surrey wants to take you to be acquainted with the superiors from the York Enterprise.”Mandy Zimmer replied without hesitation, “Forget it. I’ll just sit here.” At that moment, Mandy was in an awkward situation. But weirdly enough, she found herself feeling more comfortable and calmer, sitting there with Harvey York than compared to a while back when she was sitting beside Jake. That kind of comfortable feeling did not have anything to do with wealth. It was a feeling like she had returned to her own home, and now she was lying in her own little bed. Mandy also could not explain that feeling, where it came fr

“Dear, it seems like you don’t have to leave with this liar tonight. Since he doesn’t know the CEO of the York Enterprise, then he’s useless. Why don’t I bring you along tomorrow to meet my classmate—Yvonne? That may be much more productive.” Harvey York said to Mandy Zimmer. “Really? How nice!” Mandy appeared overjoyed. Yvonne Xavier was the secretary of the CEO of the York Enterprise. If they could get in touch with her, it would be certainly much easier to get to know any superiors there. Jake Surrey’s facial expression worsened slightly. But Cecilia Zachary was shaking her head slightly, indicating to him that he clearly had a Freudian slip. He would not be able to turn the situation around no matter what he wanted to say. At that time, the auction house soon became packed. In the end, there were around a thousand people. It could be said that the Mountain Top Auction was indeed quite popular.After a short while, the auction began. The first few lots were some classic wat

Cecilia Zachary’s facial expression changed. She did indeed have some interest in Jake. However, Jake Surrey was only interested in Mandy Zimmer, and he was not friendly to her. That had always caused her pain. If not, she would certainly throw herself at such a rich and handsome guy long ago. Why would she introduce him to Mandy then? “Harvey, you can’t even give your wife the things she wants. Could you please stop pretending. You’re very annoying!” Cecilia sneered, and her facial expression changed ceaselessly. “Harvey, Cecilia, please stop talking.” Seeing that scene, Mandy was put in a dilemma. Cecilia had always been disgusted with Harvey York. Harvey did not retort her before, so she would cease talking after condemning him for a short while. Until recently, Harvey was clearly different from before and Cecilia had suffered many times because of her argument with him. Sitting beside them, Jake smiled faintly, and as he was about to say something. All of a sudden. “9.
