Chapter 496
Senior Zimmer stared icily at Zack, frowning. “Do you think I’m not aware of everything you just said?”“I’ve been thinking about them all this time!”“You do realize that if it wasn’t for Mandy, we wouldn’t be able to reach this solution?”“What if they rescind the contract when we send another person to go over and sign it?”“Zack, I understand your concern.”“But this time, we need to be vigilant!”“This is a matter of life and death for the Zimmer family!”Zack’s mouth hung agape, but no words came out.Grandfather was right. This was a major issue, so he couldn’t act as wilfully as he liked.Still… did he really have to hand over all of his power to Mandy? Without getting to do anything else? If that was truly the case, what would his standing in the Zimmer family be from then onwards?Must he be under Mandy’s control even in Buckwood?Zack hung his head low, a twisted expression coloring his face.Senior Zimmer shot Zack one last glance before letting out a sigh, an
Chapter 497
Emperor Clubhouse, Buckwood.Only the esteemed and the affluent could frequent this exclusive clubhouse.It was a particularly popular haunt for young rich heirs.Renting a private room for just one night could cost tens of thousands of dollars.This was where the rich spend their money like water without the slightest care in the world, a place the poor could only look at from afar. In one of the private rooms, Brent Silva sat at the end of a long table. He was smiling as he played with his phone.“Everyone, I’m your host for the night. None of you are ordering any drinks or calling any women over. Are you all looking down on me?”Sitting on his opposite were at least ten to twenty rich heirs. They were usually nonchalant and egotistical, but at this moment all of them bore similar strained expressions.In the past, they would’ve happily played around with women.In contrast, today they ordered only clear soups and plain water, and didn’t dare to touch the French red wine se

“What rule did Prince York break?”Someone asked with a hesitated tone.No one dared to speak up freely as this matter was related to Prince York.This was the man who established a corporation worth millions and billions of dollars, and had stood above South Light’s ceiling since three years ago. In their eyes, he was just like a god.Even though he was the reason they were going bankrupt… Yet, who dared to show even the slightest bit of resentment towards him?They understood their place. None of them had the right to do so!Watching them, all Brent Silva could feel was disdain.These people had been high and mighty all this while, eating and living off their families’ wealth without a care in the world. Yet, look how timid they became the moment they stumbled over an obstacle! Of course, he couldn’t possibly show his disdain. Instead, he continued, “Not long ago, a family by the name Zimmer just moved into Buckwood. Have you heard of them?”Some replied indifferently, “T

Brent Silva looked at Zack Zimmer and replied, “How can I be as smart as you? You’ve only been in Buckwood for a few days, but you already know how to build and use your connections well.”Zack bowed lightly and said, “I can’t comment on that, but even someone like me knows how deep the waters of Buckwood go. In order to survive, a strong backing is necessary.”“Using this opportunity to get connected with a family as esteemed as the Silvas is my pleasure.”“From now onwards I would gladly do anything Mr. Silva orders me, no matter what!”Brent curled his lips. “You’re someone who can sell off your own family without batting an eye. How can I trust you? Those are your close relatives!”“Mr. Silva, we businessmen will always chase after profit.” Zack flashed Brent a devilish grin. “It’s our true nature!”“Anyway, someone who doesn’t belong to the Zimmer family has nothing to do with me.”“Plus, after the plan succeeded, you’ll be able to get what you want, won’t you? What kind o
Chapter 500
At Senior Zimmer’s order, one of the Zimmers stood up proudly and blocked those rich heirs with a smug grin. “Gentlemen, this is a private property. You can’t simply trespass here.”“Zimmers? As in, the Zimmers from Niumhi?”A buff rich heir spoke up coldly.This Zimmer didn’t sense anything wrong and continued grinning. “That’s right! We’re the Zimmers from Niumhi, and we’re under Sky Corporation. If you want to meet our CEO, you need to make a reservation first. Today I don’t think…”Slap!Before he could end his sentence, the rich heir slapped him hard across the face. He was utterly dumbfounded.The rich heir continued, “What a family! Insignificant outsiders like you people dare to call yourselves a new rich family in Buckwood in front of us? Hah!”His acquaintances who were standing behind him let out mocking sneers.Despite the fact they were now facing bankruptcy, in the past they were feared by many.It was obvious they came here to make trouble and besmirch the Zimme
Chapter 501
Senior Zimmer’s face darkened instantly.He was the Zimmers’ CEO. His company had Sky Corporation’s backing and was on good terms with the Silvas. Not to mention, the Zimmers once collaborated with the distinguished Naiswells.No matter how one looked at it, the Zimmers clearly had a high enough status.And yet, Craig Long literally smashed a cup right in front of him. What’s the meaning of this?Senior Zimmer was a bit taken aback, but he inhaled deeply and said slowly, “Mr. Long, correct? We Zimmers always treat everyone genuinely. If you came with good intentions, we will welcome you with the utmost kindness and respect.”“But seeing your actions, it’d be best for us to send you out, no?”“Send us out?” Craig sniggered. “We’re not done yet. If you don’t give us a good explanation, I can assure you, we won’t let you Zimmers survive in Buckwood!”“We’ll make you understand the consequences of offending people like us!”The others chortled along.“A family as insignificant as
Chapter 502
Craig Long replied coldly, “Well then, allow me to begin!”“I don’t know what your family’s Mandy Zimmer did to take your business out of bankruptcy.”“It may be due to her skills, but as I’ve said before, we have our own rules and conventions in Buckwood’s commercial world. Without them, nothing can proceed smoothly.”“Her doing this makes you Zimmers the enemies of all the elites and royalties of Buckwood!”The Zimmers took in all of this with stunned realization.Quinn was the first to react. She stood up angrily and exclaimed passionately, “Grandpa! I always thought something wasn’t right! How could Mandy solve all of our problems the moment she shows up? It doesn’t make sense!”“She must’ve resorted to dirty tricks!”“We Zimmers are righteous and upright folk. How can we tolerate someone like her in our midst?”“The way Mandy works violates the basic rules of Buckwood’s business industry. Instead of saving our family, she’s bringing harm to all of us!”“Grandpa! I suggest
Chapter 503
Senior Zimmer was patient as he explained his thoughts to the rest.Craig Long furrowed his eyebrows lightly, and then snuck a quick glance at Zack.Zack shot him a discreet glance in reply, before turning to his grandfather to speak. “Grandpa, you can’t do that! Mandy’s going to think I planned a farce to discredit her and reach the top!”“About that…”“What about it?” Craig cut in, snickering. “Well… seeing that CEO Zimmer’s come to a decision, we’ll let you all off the hook for now. Remember this! If you don’t keep your word and Mandy Zimmer still remains in power, it’ll be all over for you Zimmers! We’ll make sure of it.”“Come on, guys. We’re leaving!”Craig Long strode haughtily out of the door, followed by his clique. Unlike him, they looked rather astonished and dumbfounded. They had stormed the Zimmer mansion filled with rage and frustration, but they achieved nothing. How was this a satisfactory conclusion? None of this is enough! …Once outside, one of the rich he
