Charles Zarate was furious, the aura on him immediately dissipated. He then looked at Harvey York, disdained.“Young man, what are you saying? Master Naiswell had already concluded that the painting is indeed real, but you’re still here running your mouth. You’re not actually doubting his eyesight now are you?”Shane Naiswell was the patriarch of treasury appraisal, who would dare to question his abilities?A lowly live-in son-in-law not willing to admit that he’s wrong even after that, he truly does not fear death.At that moment, everyone at the fair was judging Harvey with disgust.Shane Naiswell swung his hand side to side.“Please, everyone. Harvey’s right. Why don’t you let me finish speaking first?”‘Huh?’‘Master Naiswell isn’t done talking? But he had already said that the painting is real. Is he going to take back what he said?’‘For a live-in son-in-law?’‘Is he really that worth it?’Shane kept talking, “This painting is real, yes. But it is not by Jasper Higgins
Harvey York immediately jumped into appraising the antiques.“This short sword must have come from the 12th century. Despite being a little eroded, a little patina on these bronze wares should be normal!”“This chandelier must be from the 15th century, supplied to the palace!”“And this thumb ring, this must be the legendary ring that Prince George used for hunting.”Shane Naiswell was frozen after Harvey was done appraising.He then clapped for Harvey after coming back to his senses, full of gratification.‘Gifted. Harvey truly is gifted in appraising treasury, making the profession look easy. Not everyone in the field is able to be like this.’‘A shame that he does not have any interest to be successful in the profession. Something extremely precious in the eyes of Charles and his student is nothing for Harvey.’‘A man like this has to be the best heir for the Naiswells.’‘I just don’t know when he’s going to divorce his wife…’Shane Naiswell let out a huge sigh while looki
At the Zimmer Villa.Senior Zimmer sat on top of the seat that belonged to him. His seat felt like an iron throne, it symbolized his authority and power.The Zimmer family was truly arrogant, he truly believed that the Zimmer family were nobility, a first class family.The complex and redundant rules aside, they even had to make proper arrangements on who sat where and this was truly hilarious.Lilian Yates saw Senior Zimmer composing his anger and unconsciously said to Harvey York, “Harvey! Hurry up and properly greet Senior Zimmer! See what instructions he would give you!”“Senior, are you really trying to make a stand for Zack Zimmer?”Harvey laughed.“Harvey, not only you’ve got the talent, you’ve sure got guts too!”Senior Zimmer made a face full of rage, his tone turned strict.“I don’t know where you learned all these martial arts from, but do you really think that you could just simply climb the ranks by learning a few tricks and do whatever you please in the Zimmer fa
Senior Zimmer froze after hearing what Zack Zimmer had said. He never would’ve thought that the narrow-minded Zack would say something like this.He thought about it and then nodded.“Alright, if this filth could make up for what he did to you. I’ll let this thing slide.”“You hear that? You need to repay me!”Zack stared at Harvey York triumphantly while making a face full of greed.“Repay you?”Harvey let out a playful smile and asked, “What kind of repayment would the vice CEO like to have, might I ask?”“The watch on your hand, hand it over, then I’ll forgive you.”Zack had stopped concealing his greed.The antique Rolex watch is valued at sixteen million dollars. If he had sold off the watch, how long could he be able to live a life of debauchery? Getting a few D-list celebrities to serve him for ten to fifteen days wouldn’t be a problem.Harvey could not hold in his laughter.Zack did not come here for an explanation despite making a judgemental face, instead he came h
“Again? What sort of brilliant idea have you cooked up in your head? How do you want me to repay you?” Harvey York said with a sarcastic tone.The young and the old, one more shameless than the other. But, Harvey had already gotten used to how people like this work.“It’s really simple for you, the Zimmer family’s business is currently booming during this time of year.”“The Naiswells have a very high status even in all of South Light. Go speak well of us to Shane Naiswell, it’d be best if he could lend us a hand.”“You and the Naiswells’ relationship seem to be in the honeymoon phase, they won’t reject you if you’d ask.”“As for you, you won’t even have to break a sweat. You just need to say a few good things about us. And for today’s affair, I’ll even turn a blind eye about it.”Senior Zimmer was determined, and he talked like everything he asked for was natural. It was as if he ordered Harvey to do something, he must fulfill it.Harvey looked at Senior Zimmer, astonished.He
After Harvey York along with everyone else had left.Zack Zimmer looked at Senior Zimmer, seeming like he had something to say but stopped himself.Zack was clear about this too, he let in a huge breath of air. And softly said, “Grandfather, do you also think that I was a bit greedy just now...?”“Oh? Even you knew?” Senior Zimmer coldly said.“Grandfather, you mistake me. I never wanted the watch, it was only a test for Harvey. Now it has been proven, Harvey indeed has gotten more arrogant as soon as Mandy Zimmer rose in position...” “Then what are you planning to do? A CEO like you talking like this, I’d rather you stop.” Senior Zimmer calmly said.“All I’m suggesting is, should we make a little trouble for Mandy? Of course it won’t trample with the profits of the Zimmer family. These small bumps make it a bit harder for Mandy to gain authority. It would force Mandy down a bunch while preventing Harvey from being too arrogant.” Zack carefully said.He’s learned to be brighter
“What do you mean we’re asking him to do such a thing? He’s the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family, what’s the matter if he does something for the family? And do you not realize? Your grandfather’s furious, and judging by his personality, if he doesn’t get what he wants, you know more than I do about the consequences, don’t you?” Lilian Yates calmly warned Mandy Zimmer.Mandy naturally had known what kind of person Senior Zimmer was.If she wasn’t able to complete Senior Zimmer’s objective, she would be in danger in the Zimmer household from that day onward. Senior Zimmer might not rob her of her identity, but removing her authority was something that he could definitely accomplish.The commercial centre project that the Zimmer family was organizing was also on the starting phase, Mandy did not want other things to obstruct the event.“I’ll think about it,” Mandy said quietly.Lilian impatiently said, “Well think faster! Don’t you realize how big of a matter this is? I’m stil
“You want me to beg Master Naiswell so that he can help the Zimmers too?” Harvey York said directly.Mandy Zimmer did not say a word, nor did she react whatsoever.Harvey’s heart let out a sigh, it looked like he had guessed right. If not, she would’ve at least shaken her head.“You just have to nod and I’ll be able to help you. But, whether the Naiswells care about the Zimmers isn’t within my control.” Harvey said.Mandy hesitated and then nodded.Harvey did not have any complaints or did he have any feelings of vex. Instead, he changed the subject.“You also think it’s my fault for making Zack kneel?”Mandy took a sip of porridge, then stood up and left without a single word.Harvey let out a huge sigh, forcing a laugh.He too did not know what happened between the two of them.***Inside a villa beside a lake with a five-star scenery.Rosalie Naiswell was sitting on a couch, sighing while making a sour face.She was about to head back to the provincial capital the next
