Chapter 3061
Harvey froze after he heard those words.The reason he had been staying in Hong Kong and Las Vegas for so long was so he could keep the citizens of Country H safe.That way, the dastardly ambitions of the Island Nations and The Empire would never come to fruition.This was justice. That was why Harvey had no guilt in his conscience and toward the citizens as a whole.But when Queenie told him Country H would be safer if he sat on the throne…Harvey was at a loss.Fate is a fickle mistress, after all!Queenie studied Harvey’s dumbfounded expression before narrowing her eyes at the higher-ups of the Yorks of Hong Kong, who were also at a loss.“The Yorks of Hong Kong had been waiting for a suitable successor for so many years,” she began with a small smile.“And you are the most qualified person to serve that role, Harvey.”Queenie then leaned towards Harvey and began to whisper in his ear. “If you think I’m not good enough for you…”“We can just turn the marriage into a sho

For a time, the situation was extremely tense.A glint of pride flashed in Cory’s eyes when he saw that his words were enough to shock the crowd.He gave a cold chuckle and waved his hand.“For the sake of your father, Grandma York, and the fact that you’re my junior…”“I’ll let you off the hook this time.”“I’m giving you ten seconds to get out of here!”“If you don’t, don’t blame me for killing you with my own two hands, even if we’re blood-related!”Cory waved his hand once more. The people from the head house instinctively stood up, prepared to move forward.Julian, who stood in front of the crowd, laughed coldly and took his men to step forward with him.Since he was already on Harvey’s side, he had no choice but to fight till the bitter end.He was surprised to see Harvey was fooled into being the son-in-law of the family, but he understood why Marcel would do something like this.If Queenie were to rise to power, she would probably be met with a lot of resistance.Ho

“You…”Cory was so enraged that he was rendered speechless.When he was about to say something, a calm and dignified voice cut him off.“Why haven’t I known about such a thing?”“Did you ask for my permission?”“Or are you saying that my words mean nothing to you?”The crowd spread out to both sides in an instant.In the deepest part of the hall, Grandma York was seen clad in a white robe, surrounded by a dozen people.Her face was quite skinny, but she still looked elegant. Her beauty from her youth was still apparent even at her current age.She also carried a terrifying aura that seeped out of her body, giving others the urge to kneel after taking just one glance at her.In the crowd with Grandma York, there was an equally calm man in a green robe.He was none other than Walter York, the second lord of the family.He had been obsessed with martial arts, but he had yet to show that side of him. His head was raised up high; he seemed quite powerful, as if he could kill a b

Slap!Grandma York slapped Noah in the face once again, causing him to bleed out of his mouth. He stumbled backwards.Julian came to his senses and held his father up before the latter could fall.Even then, Noah wouldn’t dare question Grandma York, nor would he even try to resist.Everything else aside, the woman in front of him was his own mother.He wouldn’t dare go against her, even if he had all the courage in the world.Slap!“Today is my birthday! How dare you try to stir up trouble between Marcel and Cory in front of all these guests and the family?!”“You think nobody in the family can hold you down?! Or do you think that I’m on the verge of death?!”Slap!“When did you get the right to shout at your big brother out in public?!”Slap!“Do you not know how to respect your elders?!”Slap!“Did I teach you how to act like this when you were a child?!”Slap!“What gave you the courage to be this arrogant in front of me?!”Grandma York swung her palm across Noah’s

Noah chuckled bitterly.“Even if you’re going to take my position away, I have to tell you everything!”“Fourth Brother has finally let go of what happened ten years ago. He’s ready to live a new life!”“This is a great thing for the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“All he wants right now is for his daughter to marry a good man—one of unparalleled talent!”“This is only natural!”“Can’t you just fulfill Fourth Brother’s only wish?”“Shut your mouth!”Grandma York took a step forward, her face frosty. “I may be eighty years old, but I’m no idiot!”“I don’t care if he wants a dependable son-in-law!”“But do you really think you can just make him climb the ranks of the family in this way?”“Keep dreaming!”“The Yorks of Hong Kong will only accept direct descendants of the family!”“This is our legacy!”“That is an undeniable fact!”“That is a rule that our family set in stone!”“Whoever that disobeys will be killed without mercy!”“Even if the lord himself violates this rule, he’l

Swish, swish, swish!The women in plain clothes pounced right at Harvey at the same time.Their eyes were sharpened into an intense gaze, as if they wanted Harvey dead.Right as they got close, a shadow could be seen flying from the back of the hall.A hidden blade shot out from the shadow with a single wave.The women in plain clothes trembled as a silver glare flashed in front of everyone’s eyes. Bright red wounds could be seen on every single one of their wrists.“Who dares to lay a finger on my son-in-law?”Selena’s frosty face could be seen as she glared angrily at the entire crowd. She looked very domineering.“Lady Judd?”“Sister-In-Law?!”“What are you trying to do?!”After seeing Selena protect Harvey at such a crucial moment, the higher-ups of the family were at a complete loss.The Hamilton family, Mendoza family, and the Clarke family, and everyone else were all shocked.Nobody expected Harvey to have such a complicated relationship with the Yorks of Hong Kong.
Chapter 3067
The crowd trembled at those words.Everyone was reminded that Marcel did in fact have the right to appoint whoever he wanted as the new young lord.Even though Vince was known as the young lord of the family, he had never been acknowledged by Marcel since the very beginning.This was the reason why Vince wanted to be Marcel’s son.Vince’s dream would never come true if Marcel didn’t acknowledge him.He could attain the chance to rise to power only if Marcel took him under his wing.Recently, Vince felt that Marcel was using Queenie to fight him.He had suffered some losses before, but he wasn’t too worried.After all, in his eyes, Grandma York would never let a woman take the position of the young lord.Not just Grandma York, the higher-ups of the family wouldn’t agree to that decision either.But just then, Selena declared that she wanted Harvey to be her son-in-law and for him to climb the ranks.Anxiety filled Vince at that very moment.He knew just how capable Harvey wa
Chapter 3068
Harvey knew that Marcel was doing all this in order to suppress Vince’s ambition and make Vince lose all hope of rising to power…But this sudden move had pushed Harvey to the forefront.From that day onward, Vince and the head house would stop at nothing to deal with Harvey.Even though Harvey understood Marcel’s reasoning and feelings for doing this, he still felt like he had been stabbed in the back.Harvey was ready to walk out and announce that he wasn’t going to be Marcel’s son-in-law…But Selena and Queenie looked over as if they were begging for him to stay back.Naturally, they knew that Harvey was going to be painted at a huge target that day.But to prevent Vince from climbing ranks within the family and to stop The Empire and the Island Nations from meddling with Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s affairs, they had no other choice.“Shut up!”“Shut up right now!”Grandma York furiously slammed her cane to the ground, filled with unbridled rage.“You b*stards have no right
