Mandy was slightly shocked. She had never expected Harvey to refuse money and exchange it for the Forever Mine instead. If he willed it, a few hundred million dollars would have also been a fair price. However, this man only thought of her even under such circumstances, and he just wanted to make her happy.Mandy looked at Harvey and bit her lip unconsciously as she thought about it. A strange feeling bloomed in her heart.“Miss Xavier, you can’t give it to him! The painting may be fake!” Jake suddenly blurted out.What? Why did he say that? Everyone immediately turned to him.Yvonne looked over, speechless. Where had this guy come from? She was just having fun while acting with the CEO. Why did he have to suddenly appear like this?However, Yvonne continued acting as though she was shocked. She smiled hesitantly and asked, “Sir, why did you say that?”Jake said solemnly, “Miss Xavier, Harvey is just a live-in son-in-law. He doesn’t know how to identify the authenticity of the pa

Harvey’s eyes lit up. He could finally enter the bedroom after sleeping in the study room for three years. At that moment, he could not wait to go back home.As for the idea of a divorce, he had blocked the thought out of his mind.Jake gritted his teeth, and could not help but glare at Cecilia.Cecilia nodded and said coldly, “Mandy, you must not be deceived by him. He is just a useless guy and has not changed. He was just lucky that he got the painting, whether it’s real or not, for only fifteen dollars. You must not accept the gift from him. Otherwise, if the Yorks discover that the painting is fake one day, then—”Slap!Yvonne had strode forward in her high heels and slapped Cecilia across the face before she could finish.“You… You...” Cecilia held her face in shock, unable to speak for a long time.“What?” Yvonne’s face was cold. “I don’t care what kind of relationship you both have, and I don’t care whether you are joking or being sarcastic. However, I don’t allow anyone

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Harvey. Do you really think that highly of yourself?” Jake laughed. “If you are so awesome, then why not ask Yvonne to come here now? Why not let her send you home? If you can do it, I will kneel for you now!”Yvonne quickly walked over in her high heels while he was talking.“Mr. York, I have already informed our CEO about the exchange of the painting. He specifically asked me to tell you that you were being taken advantage of this time. To express our apologies, we agree to the investment that Miss Zimmer applied for. She can come and sign the papers tomorrow,” Yvonne said, then continued, “Also, if you don’t mind, I would like to give you a ride back. After all, we have just finished a business deal here. I have the responsibility to send you home safely.”“Okay, thank you then, Miss Xavier. I’ll take you up on that.” Harvey smiled and then casually glanced at Jake. What? Did Yvonne come over and ask to give him a ride? The CEO of York Enterprise was expressing

Harvey was speechless when he saw Rosalie’s body trembling. ‘Miss Rosalie, can you please not act like this? Others will think I’m teasing you.’‘I have a wife, I’m not that kind of person!’Rosalie gritted her teeth and said softly before Harvey could speak, “I heard… Although you have been married to your wife for three years… you both never did that thing before, and you have not even touched her hand… is it true?”“What thing?” Harvey absently asked.Rosalie stomped her feet, her cheeks a bright red. “The thing that happens between a husband and wife!”Harvey became more speechless. ‘You, a pure and innocent little girl, are looking at me with those big eyes and asking me such a question. I don’t know how to answer!’However, Harvey felt helpless after being stared at by Rosalie for a long time. He finally sighed and said, “Well, you’re not wrong…”“Great!” Rosalie exclaimed softly.“Huh?” Harvey frowned. ‘What’s so good about knowing my embarrassing story? Can you not be l

“Please stop it, Mom! We need to thank Harvey since he was the one who introduced me to Miss Xavier, which helped me get the investment,” Mandy pleaded.“Really?” Lilian exclaimed in surprise. She had always been worried about the investment, so she stopped talking about Harvey since he had helped them.“Yes, Mom, let’s get some rest now, alright? We’ll discuss the other things after I settle everything with York Enterprise,” Mandy said soothingly.“Okay, we’ll take care of the important stuff first,” Lilian agreed.“The floor hasn’t been mopped for days, get to it! You’ve been going out so often lately, do you even see this as your home?” Lilian sneered, glaring at Harvey.“Alright, got it,” Harvey replied as he was used to Lilian’s attitude by now. He had been doing the chores for the past three years anyway, so it wasn’t a big problem for him.Mandy stared at Harvey contemplatively for a while, then went to take a shower.After half an hour, Harvey’s mobile phone rang. It was

“This is a gift from my husband, I will not sell it no matter what!” Mandy Zimmer protested while glaring at her so-called relatives. “Mandy Zimmer, you have no sympathy!”“Do you want to see us go bankrupt?”“You traitor! We were the ones who raised you!”They were furious because they thought that they might have had a chance if Mandy had given the ring to the Yorks.Swoosh!“Rather than telling my wife to give back her ring, why don’t you all give your properties to the Yorks? They might give us a chance then,” Harvey said sarcastically as he opened the door and entered the room.The members of the Zimmer family immediately looked upset when Harvey barged in.“Who allowed you to come to our meeting, you worthless piece of trash?!” Zack yelled at Harvey.“I’m here to witness my wife becoming the new project manager. Am I troubling you?” Harvey asked coldly.“Hah, keep dreaming! Both of you will be kicked out of the family if she can’t get the deal, so don't be so confident

“Grandpa, I would like to request something. As we don’t have much time left, I’m planning to start the construction tomorrow, so I would like to pick someone trustworthy to keep an eye on the construction process,” Mandy said to Senior Zimmer.“Sure, pick anyone you like,” Senior Zimmer replied easily.“Grandpa, I pick Harvey…” Mandy suggested hesitantly as she looked at Harvey.Mandy was starting to think that Harvey was reliable, so she wanted to give Harvey a chance to learn what it was like working on the frontline.Senior Zimmer frowned at Mandy’s request.“Mandy Zimmer, do you really think you can control everything about the project? It’s not even your asset to begin with! You want to let this worthless guy supervise the construction? Who’s gonna bear the responsibility if he screws up?” Zack Zimmer shouted, jealousy clear in his tone.“Grandpa already said that I’m in charge of the entire project. Who are you to object?” Mandy replied with a frown.“Mandy, please don’t

It didn’t take long before the news spread around Niumhi that the Zimmers got a fifty million dollar fund from the Yorks.“I heard they got the funds because of a woman!”“Is it the one who has a live-in husband?”“I heard the husband bought the painting “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” for only fifteen dollars, and gave it to the CEO of York Enterprise.”“No wonder!”“Could it be that the CEO was interested in Mandy?”Outsiders started to gossip all of a sudden, but that didn’t stop the Zimmers from becoming more popular, as a lot of families came to visit in the afternoon.The Zimmer Villa was crowded, and everyone was there except for Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer.Other families had come to learn a thing or two on how they got the funding, but it was too bad that Mandy wasn’t there to share the details.At the Platinum Hotel.Harvey wanted to meet Tyson Woods, and coincidentally met Jake Surrey on the way.Jake was surprised to see Harvey there as he had come with th
