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.

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

Brent Silva initially had no interest in hosting this pointless banquet.If it weren’t for the fact that his family had forced this task on him, he wouldn’t have come.Yet at this moment, he felt he had committed to the right choice.Brent was a typical phony. While he fancied both sisters, Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, he did not act like a greasy man. Rather, he put on a personable facade. He raised his glass to Mandy, whose face was red. He said, “Senior Zimmer, let me congratulate the Zimmer family on behalf of the Silvas tonight!”“The Zimmer family is the best of the best. Now, you are the leading figure in the business community in Buckwood. You’ll be part of Buckwood’s noble circle in the near future. Here’s to you, Senior Zimmer.”Senior Zimmer was so excited that his hands shook.Brent was from the Silva family!Not only did the Silvas hold a welcome dinner for the Zimmer family, Brent Silva also personally toasted to him. This was an incredible privilege.“It’s my hono

“That’s right, I heard a very important person had come to Buckwood. He arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Zimmer family is truly lucky, maybe all of you arrived at the same time as him!”“It’s said that the heirs of the first class families such as the Naiswells and the Cloudes are all here to see that big shot. Unfortunately, they aren’t qualified enough!”“What’s this?! I saw Queenie York of the Yorks there as well. She seemed to have been waiting at the airport for several hours. In the end, she was unfortunate and wasn’t able to meet him.”“By any chance, did you Zimmers get to see him?”Senior Zimmer remained silent.Then, he nodded and smiled at the crowd’s discussion. “Everyone. After we learned about him, our family sent him an invitation here. We’re not sure if he would come to our banquet.”“It should be impossible. How could such a big shot come to this kind of banquet?”“It’s someone that even the Yorks couldn’t meet!”No one believed him.Senior Zimmer

Immediately, the Zimmers started making weird expressions. Lilian Yates gritted her teeth. “I’ve forgotten that this useless b*stard hasn’t appeared yet!” Didn’t this live-in son-in-law understand his place?Didn’t he realize what kind of occasion this is? How could he have dared stepping inside?On top of that, he came in so boldly!Damn it!Lilian couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Simon Zimmer.Had it not been for his cowardice in Niumhi, she would’ve long driven this live-in son-in-law out!Did he not see that Brent Silva has fallen in love with their daughter?That was such a great opportunity!Yet, everything was ruined by this wimp!As for Simon, his gaze turned gloomy.In Niumhi, Senior Zimmer had the final say. However, that was not the case in Buckwood.He must let this wimp go!Harvey York ignored the strange gazes from the crowd and walked up to Senior Zimmer.“Congratulations, Senior Zimmer. The Zimmer family has officially set foot in Buckwood today

“Is this the live-in son-in-law? Look at how the Zimmers treat him! He doesn’t have any worth at all!”“His clothes are too shabby. I bet he doesn’t have much money.”“For a poor sap like him, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is enough to live for a long time. I’m sure he’ll agree to it.”“But the Zimmer family is certainly interesting. To think they came up with this kind of event to entertain everyone, hahaha…”Harvey York was speechless.The crowd was talking and looking at Harvey with a gleeful look.Everyone was anticipating whether this live-in son-in-law would kneel or not.Zack Zimmer shouted fiercely, “Kneel and grovel to me!”Things were different now.Now, Zack had several great people backing him.He believed that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, wouldn’t dare to mess with him this time.Harvey stared at Zack wordlessly. In his eyes, there was only coldness.“Kneel!”Zack pressed Harvey’s shoulder with one hand, forcing Harvey to kneel.Unfortunately, Har

Sean Zimmer replied with a puzzled look, “He should have already arrived by now. I’ll call his secretary and ask.”Soon, Sean's face became ashen and he hung up the phone. He said, “Father, the big shot had already come. He’d just left.” “What? Has he been here?”“The big shot said that the Zimmer family is too stupid…”“I understand! He must have seen that idiot Harvey making trouble when he arrived. That’s why he left angrily!”“It must be because the Zimmer family doesn’t respect him!”Senior Zimmer yelled, “Harvey, you’re a useless b*stard. You must die!”Everyone in the banquet reacted to Senior Zimmer’s outburst.The Zimmer family’s live-in son-in-law, Harvey had angered the big shot!His action was ruining the Zimmer family’s fortune!Harvey was the sinner of the Zimmer family!Right now, the Zimmers were all gritting their teeth, wishing to devour Harvey whole.Senior Zimmer turned around and looked at Simon. He said viciously, “I agree! Divorce him!”“Let Mandy d
