After a brief pause, Mandy took a deep breath. “Miss Xavier, I understand the conditions you mentioned, but please trust me. We Zimmers definitely didn’t do any of those things on purpose. This shopping centre project is incredibly important for us.” Momentary silence followed. Yvonne broke into a sudden smile. “If anyone else came and requested this, I’d definitely have security throw that person out by now.”“But before I came, the CEO specially told me that he likes ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak’ painting very much. Because of that, he agreed to do you another favor. We hope that the Zimmers will learn their lesson and not create any more problems for this project again.“If another similar incident occurs again in the future, I’m afraid that the CEO will not entertain your requests anymore.” ‘Is that it? Surprisingly, the CEO’s actually giving us a favor.’Previously, Harvey only mentioned that casually. Although Mandy trusted him, she was not that confident herself.

Suddenly Quinn barged into Zack’s office, her face the epitome of anxiety. Her makeup was ruined. “Zack, we’re in big trouble! Did you hear?” “What the hell is with you?” Zack asked nonchalantly. “Why are you in such a hurry?” “I passed by the legal department just now. I heard that York Enterprise just retracted the legal letter!” Quinn was dumbfounded. ‘It’s only been one night! How could something this big happen so quickly?’ At this, Zack frowned. “Did you hear wrong? York Enterprise is a huge company. How is it possible for them to change their decision in such a short time? They retracted the legal letter they issued only the day before yesterday? Is this a joke?” “It’s true! The entire company is discussing it right now. I also heard that the lawyer was quite polite and cordial this time. He’s completely different from how arrogant he was when he came before.” Quinn looked frightened. “What?” Zack grew agitated and fell off his chair. He got back up awkwardly, gritt

Senior Zimmer smiled faintly, but he did not spare Zack the slightest glance. He continued, “Mandy is an exceptional person among the Zimmers. She’s holding two posts concurrently, as both the project manager of the shopping centre and the finance manager. It’s rather difficult for her. As she has heavy responsibilities, I decided someone should help her shoulder some of the burden.”“Zack. After much thought, I feel you are the most suitable person for this position. From today onwards, you are the Zimmers’ vice chairman. You must work hard and help Mandy to handle all kinds of issues, and contribute to our Zimmers. Do you understand that?” All of the people present exchanged helpless glances with one another, stunned. It never occurred to them that Senior Zimmer would promote Zack at such a critical moment. The problem was, lately Zack failed to perform well. To top it off, he repeatedly burdened the Zimmers. Because of him, the Zimmers fell on the verge of bankruptcy several t

“Senior Zimmer said he wants somebody to share my responsibilities, so he made Zack the vice chairman of Zimmer Enterprise.” Mandy spat angrily. “He even told me to discuss things with Zack if anything happens.” “I see.” Harvey frowned. “I never imagined Senior Zimmer would be shameless to this extent, just to suppress your power within the family.” “He clearly said that if I managed to settle our problems, he’d give me the sole responsibility for the shopping centre project and the company finances.” Mandy was puzzled, unable to understand how things had escalated to this point.“It’s quite simple.” Harvey said. “He doesn’t want you to have too large an authority in Zimmer Enterprise. It’ll affect Zack’s status. After all, for him, Zack is the heir of the Zimmers!” “Why? Isn’t he afraid I might refuse to help?” Mandy could not accept this. “If it wasn’t for me, would York Enterprise have done the Zimmers a favor? If I didn’t care about the Zimmers, how long can they survive?”

At the end of the day, the secretary was just an outsider. He could only give some reminders to Senior Zimmer during critical moments. However when Senior Zimmer had made a decision, no ordinary person could change it. Besides, Senior Zimmer assumed Mandy would most probably refrain from doing anything stupid. Mandy needed protection from a family like the Zimmers. If the Zimmers were bankrupt, she wouldn’t be able to lead a good life either. Senior Zimmer shook his head and inhaled deeply. “What I’m worried most is if Mandy will make more contributions as time goes by.”“She’s just a useless woman. What if her achievements grow so much, she starts to influence my status? She’ll become the chairman directly. When that happens, should we abandon the Zimmer name and take up the York surname instead?”“That’s true. We cannot let outsiders take over the Zimmers.” The secretary said in agreement. As the chairman’s secretary, he wouldn’t have a good end if the Zimmers fell to outsid

“Of course, he’s my husband.” Mandy replied matter-of-factly. “But you’ve never brought him along before?” Angel asked curiously. “Don’t mind it so much. Are you willing to bring your boyfriend?” Tsk! Angel said contemptuously, “Mandy, I don’t mean to argue with you. If you bring Harvey, this worthless piece of trash, you’ll just humiliate yourself. Maybe someone at the gathering will take delight in that.” “Who?” Mandy appeared adorkable. “Nia Howell! Have you forgotten about her? Back in university, every man she liked had a secret crush on you. She would fail every time she confessed to a man. She wanted to strangle you to death so badly.” “I heard she had a good life in South Korea during these years. She’s now as beautiful as an angel after her plastic surgery. The reason she’s returning to our country is for this gathering.” Angel advised Mandy patiently. “She’s probably coming for you! Mandy, you’d better be careful!” “Besides, Nia was really lucky. I heard she us

“It’s a gift from your cousin.” Harvey said casually. “Kevin? How is that possible? This car costs at least more than three hundred thousand dollars. Why would he give this to you?” Angel was filled with disdain. ‘Harvey likes to act arrogant and put up a show. I don’t know where he rented this car. How can he be so shameless and say that it’s a gift from someone else?’ ‘It’s normal to rent a luxury car to show off for gatherings. But he’s not even aware that he needs to put up a better act if he really does want to show off. How could he wear such shabby clothes? If he tells people this car is his, no one will believe him.’ Harvey didn’t want to explain himself and simply drove. He was only telling the truth, but no one believed his words. The Porsche drove swiftly toward Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.Hot Spring Villa was famous in Niumhi. The springs there were renowned for their ability in lessening fatigue and improving the appearance. The number of people who booked

“Wow! A Porsche!”One of the classmates exclaimed in astonishment. A Porsche was not as high-end as a Ferrari, but it enjoyed immense popularity among the masses. To the rest, both the Porsche and the Ferrari stood on the same level. Nia felt a twinge of annoyance. She said, “It’s just a pathetic second hand car. At most, it’s just one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Compared to my Ferrari, it’s not much. A Ferrari costs around eight hundred thousand dollars!” “What? How could there be such a vast difference in price?” “Nia, it turns out that your husband is very rich!” Her classmates’ jealousy towards Nia swelled further. There was indeed an incredible difference between the two cars. While a Porsche could be considered a nice car, it was nothing compared to a Ferrari. Now that everyone’s attention was back on her once more, Nia deliberately put on a disdainful air. “Honestly, my husband isn’t as great and exceptional as you think. Back when he tried to gain my affection,
