Chapter 438
Hearing of Senior Zimmer’s reassurance, Zack Zimmer was delighted. He bowed to Senior Zimmer, his back angled at a perfect ninety degrees.“Grandpa, as the eldest grandson of the family, my efforts are nothing! What I do is for a better future for us Zimmers!” “After we move to Buckwood, I’ll contribute more and work even harder for the family!”Senior Zimmer nodded and smiled in relief. “Good! That’s my grandson!”At that moment, everyone heard the sound of footsteps outside the gate of the Zimmer’s mansion.Yvonne Xavier, dressed in a suit, strode into the entrance.Instantly, they focused their gaze on her.A VIP like Yvonne actually came to visit them again! It seemed the CEO of York Enterprise was no longer furious with them. This was a happy occasion worth celebrating!“Secretary Xavier, we’ve been waiting for your arrival.” Senior Zimmer was all smiles. “Come in, come in!” The fact that Yvonne was willing to see them was proof of the Yorks’ impression of their family.

What?! A hundred and fifty million dollars?!At Yvonne Xavier’s light tone, every single one of the Zimmerswas shocked once again and began to shudder.York Enterprise was indeed extremely well off!The Zimmers couldn’t sleep for nights out of sheer panic regarding the one hundred and fifty million dollars.And now?The Yorks could easily produce that much money, as if they couldn’t care less about the amount!Even if the Zimmers sold their entire businesses and properties, it could only amount to a hundred and fifty million dollars at most. Perhaps even less!Still in shock, their gazes on Yvonne became more heated and desperate.With that amount, the Zimmers wouldn’t need to sell off their properties or projects anymore in order to move to Buckwood.Senior Zimmer wouldn't have to worry about anything. At the same time, he could preserve their business in Niumhi City!Senior Zimmer was so exhilarated, he almost got a stroke right there and then.The rest of the Zimmers we

Without pausing to let senior Zimmer finish his sentence, Yvonne Xavier cut him off. “CEO Zimmer, they say curiosity kills a cat…”“For now, you should focus on the matter at hand. Time is gold, and I can only let you consider this for five minutes.”“You should discuss what you want to do. I’ll be back after five minutes.”With that, Yvonne turned around and left to give space for the Zimmers to mull over her words.Senior Zimmer’s face was dark.Right now, the Zimmers really didn’t have any other choice left.They could only pick between compensating four hundred and fifty million dollars and a piece of land, or losing their power over the whole family business.No matter which path they took, the choices were extremely difficult. Right then, Quinn Zimmer spoke up coldly, “Mandy, we don’t know what kind of relationship you have with York Enterprise’s CEO, but do you really have the heart to see our family perish?”“Yeah! Mandy, how could you be so cold-blooded?”“Mandy, th

Even though York Enterprise’s condition was quite unacceptable to most, at the very least, it could give the Zimmers a bit of time to relax.In fact, having the support of the York Enterprise would guarantee the Zimmers a good future in Buckwood.They shall only think about how to get their shares back after a while. Right now, the most important thing was to get through this hardship.When the Zimmers heard Senior Zimmer’s words, however, they burst into panic.“Grandpa, we can’t do this!”“That’s right! If we accept, we’ll lose the rights to speak on behalf of our family business!”“Grandpa!”“We’ll think of something else!”Right then, all of the Zimmers spoke up urgently.No matter how helpful the Yorks’ dominance would be for the Zimmers’ business development, the absence of fifty-one percent of shares would place the Zimmers firmly as subordinates under York Enterprise.“Enough! Silence, all of you!”Senior Zimmer bellowed, rising to glance around the room.“The decis

“Him?” Senior Zimmer snorted. He spoke on without pausing a single beat. “A live-in son-in-law like him obviously doesn’t deserve a chance! Moving to Buckwood is an important matter!”“But Simon’s definitely come along, and so will Mandy. Harvey York, I feel so bad for you!” Zack Zimmer spoke to Harvey in a mocking tone. “Your wife and her whole family are moving to Buckwood, leaving you all alone here in Niumhi City. Will you starve to death by yourself?” Looking at how Zack Zimmer was proud of himself, Harvey felt speechless.A dimwit like Zack wouldn’t understand that Harvey could’ve returned to Buckwood whenever he liked.Before Mandy could speak up for Harvey, Quinn Zimmer suddenly stood up and yelled, “No! Harvey York must go to Buckwood as well!”The entire Zimmer family stared at Quinn in disbelief. Was she out of her mind? She’s actually standing up for Harvey York!Quinn didn’t try to hide her intentions and added coldly, “Since Mandy has to go to Buckwood, this douche
Chapter 443
Half a month later, in Buckwood.Today, the Buckwood airport was crowded with people. Esteemed families and enterprises had all arranged for their important executives to wait here as soon as they received the news.There were even securities armed with guns and bullets patrolling around key areas to prevent any mishaps from occurring.For the past half month, there had been rumours that a hotshot who visited Buckwood three years ago would be returning with power!The upper-class families of Buckwood found out about this matter earlier than most. Right now many were waiting for the arrival of this famous and enigmatic man, eager to catch a glimpse of him.Rumours had it that this legendary man had ultimate control over Buckwood three years ago. Yet at the peak of his power, he suddenly vanished into thin air. No one knew what happened after that.Some said that he died. There were also those who said he got backstabbed by his own family. Others believed that he had angered anothe

After some thought, Simon Zimmer said, “Old man, the Silvas have arranged a welcome dinner for us Zimmers to celebrate our first time coming to Buckwood. It’s rumoured that they have also invited a number of hotshots.”“Why don’t we send an invitation to this powerful man as well? It has to be a work of fate and luck for us to exit the VIP lounge with him on the same day. Who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky again this time.”Senior Zimmer grew ecstatic. “We can try.” If they could meet this man during their welcome dinner, the Zimmers would most definitely be considered powerful enough when they establish their entrance in Buckwood!It would certainly bring the Zimmers great opportunities, as well as a boost in status.Behind the crowd, Mandy Zimmer wasn’t bothered by the noises in front of them. She glanced backward worriedly and then murmured softly, “Mom, I’m going to walk to the back and check where Harvey is. He hasn’t come out yet…”“What?” Lilian Yates glared at her. “This i

It would be unthinkable for Harvey York to travel all the way back to Buckwood on an economy class flight. Instead, he booked an entire plane for himself.He couldn’t be certain if this had something to do with the York family, but the news that he was returning to Buckwood had been leaked by some secret sources.A gigantic crowd had actually formed at the airport, waiting just for him.Harvey didn’t rush to the exit and asked Yvonne Xavier, “Yvonne, have you checked about this matter?”Yvonne came to Buckwood a few days prior to arrange everything. She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, “CEO, your travels were a tightly kept secret between us. I wasn’t able to find out which sources leaked the news.”“But when your flight landed, Miss Queenie York sent me a text.”Harvey stiffened. “What did she say?” Queenie was the adopted daughter of the York family, but her status in the family was high enough that she played a vital role in what had happened the year Harvey was kicked out
