But when Zack Zimmer thought about Harvey York standing not far from him, he could not falter. He was grinding on his teeth and quietly said, “Why don’t you try and touch me? Do you even know who I am?“The Zimmer family were the ones that invited Prince York to the banquet. He promised to come!“Would you dare cross the Zimmers like this? You’re just a bodyguard…”Slap!The person that looked like the captain hit Zack backhanded across his face and immediately made him unconscious.“If you don’t leave right now, don’t blame me for what happens next,” the captain said coldly.The Zimmers were trembling in their boots. They pulled Zack away, prepared to make a run for it.Not far away, Simon Zimmer saw that and felt strangely invigorated.“Harvey, you were right. They couldn’t get in.”Harvey smiled and held onto Mandy Zimmer’s hand.“Dad, mom. We should get in.”“Don’t! Are you not afraid of dying? Even the invitation cards from the Silvas aren’t enough to let the others in.
Simon Zimmer, Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer…They were all transfixed, unsure of how to feel about this.Not only did the personal bodyguards not check for their invitations, they even respectfully let them in into the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard?And the people waiting to make fun of them, including Zack Zimmer, were frozen.“How… Did they get in? How… Could this be possible?”Senior Zimmer was sluggish. He could not believe what he saw.Simon and Lilian looked back with faces full of content.They were rejoicing. Whatever it was that happened, they had already gotten in.Simon had stayed in Buckwood for many years. He knew how hard it was to even come here. He felt like he was dreaming at that moment.“It was that easy? My good son-in-law, how did you do it?”He even changed his pronouns at that moment.Before, Harvey York was only filth, a worthless sack of trash, junk of a person.But he called him his good son-in-law.They thought that the son-in-la
Simon Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers’ faces turned as dark as night.They believed Brent Silva was able to do as he said.It would be a simple matter for him, what with the Silva family supporting him.One word from him, and the Zimmer family could get thrown out immediately.Mandy Zimmer shot Brent Silva a frown.“Mr. Silva, there have been no problems between us until this point. What do you want?”Brent Silva laughed and approached Mandy Zimmer, and then whispered into her ear with a low tone that only both of them could hear.“It should be an honor for you to have someone like me to come to you. Yet you chose not to divorce this filth?”“Mr. Silva, you’re shaming me!”“As long as you and your sister promise to spend the night with me, I won’t give you too much trouble. How’s that sound?”“I’ll even give you two a project to work on. Deal?”“You… You’re shameless!”How could Mandy Zimmer even accept an offer like that?With her pride, she would not give in, even if
“Get your invitations out already!” Brent Silva shouted, his tone aggressive.“We don’t need it.” Harvey York replied calmly.“Hahaha! Captain, did you hear that? They don’t even have one! He even said that they don’t need one!”Brent Silva laughed his heart out.“This live-in son-in-law does seem suspicious. Maybe he came in by climbing over the wall!”The captain however was still skeptical, and something seemed off to him.Yet because of his duty, he immediately let out an order to his subordinates.“Take these people to the security room. Find out what their deal is, then decide what to do with them!”Simon Zimmer and his family were frightened and horrified.If they were interrogated, they’d definitely be forced out of the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard!The rest of the Zimmer family might still be waiting outside.How embarrassing would that be for him and his family if they got kicked out just like that?Were that to happen, they wouldn’t know what to do.“Wait! Sist
The bodyguard captain was also looking at Harvey York with disdain. However, he understood that if he wanted to climb the ranks in the York family, he shouldn’t be too rash.He sized Harvey York up and calmly replied, “Alright! Let’s see if Manager York really does know you, live-in son-in-law!”Brent Silva was ecstatic.‘Looks like the next part of this play is going to get even more exciting!’A crowd now gathered around all of them. Simon Zimmer and his family all hung their heads down in shame.Embarrassing!Truly embarrassing!The captain swiftly sent Manager York a text.The next moment, his phone immediately rang.After hearing what the person said on the other side of the phone, the captain’s face immediately changed.His gaze fell on Harvey York, this time filled with fear.Even his knees began to grow weak.He couldn’t believe he was trying to cause trouble to the legendary…“I understand… Manager York… I understand…”The captain was trembling as he spoke.Br
“It’s simple.”“We might not have any invitations, but we came in through the security check.”“Since we got in, that means that there are no suspicions about our identity.”“Clearly, Brent Silva was the one causing all the commotion and disrupting the banquet.”“You all saw the crowd that gathered her just now, right? How terrible must that have been?”“I don’t know who this Prince York is, but I think he won’t like people disrupting his banquet.”“Not just Brent Silva. I assume even Leon Silva would get thrown out like that if he caused trouble here.” Harvey York said naturally.Simon Zimmer nodded in agreement.“That must be it. I did hear before that the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard has a lot of rules.”“In this place, nobody would care about your identity if you could get in legally.”“But if you cause a ruckus in here, you’d be thrown out immediately regardless of your status!”“I see, no wonder the invitations are so expensive!” Lilian Yates said with a thoughtful ex
Simon Zimmer’s expression changed. He added quietly, “Maybe I should get someone to bring gifts here. There should still be enough time.”Lilian Yates immediately frowned.“If we just start preparing right now, won’t Prince York think we don’t care much for him?”Simon Zimmer's face darkened even more. That seemed like a high possibility.They were being passive, it was truly hard for them to think of a plan.Mandy Zimmer stood up.“Father, mother. Stay here for now, I’ll go prepare us a generous gift. Nothing too cheap. We should be alright.”Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates nodded in response. At this point, the only thing they could do was to bring out the big bucks for a gift. Harvey York pulled Mandy’s hand and said, “Darling, I don’t think there’s a need for that. Prince York has seen and experienced every luxury in the world. He won’t care about gifts.”“Even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t matter.” Mandy Zimmer said. “We should still do our part and show our etiquette.” Har
At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.In the VIP room on the second floor.A silhouette stood with hands behind her back, gazing at the man below who was blended in with the crowd. Her beautiful eyes showed delight.Not far from her, a man who was playing chess got up and stood beside her.He too looked at the indifferent man standing among the crowd, complicated waves surging in his eyes.After a while, he started to speak.“Queenie, that’s your big brother. Aren’t you going to greet him?”“You poured your heart and soul out for this banquet, after all.”When he was finished with his words, he gazed at her quietly.He hailed from the impressive York lineage and the first of the four masters of the family, Quinton York.The woman before him was Queenie York.Quinton York’s expressions did not change much, but Quinton’s words had a deeper meaning. The way he spoke was as if he was teasing and testing her at the same time.She acted like she didn’t hear anything he said and continu
