Veer's phone started to vibrate at this time as well. He instinctively picked up his mobile and gave it a look before offering Harvey an apologetic smile. Then, they stood up and walked away to greet the uninvited guests.Harvey narrowed his eyes. One who could appear at this time and required Veer to invite him… It was definitely not anyone with a low status. Not to mention, to come right at this time… This newcomer was most likely coming for him, too.When that thought crossed his mind, Harvey didn't stand up and simply started to drink the coffee from his cup.Very quickly, a pair of well-dressed couple appeared outside the door, led by Veer. The man was wearing a traditional garb. The woman, despite her makeup, was sitting quietly in the wheelchair and was being pushed in.When Harvey saw the two of them, he wasn't sure if he should smile.It was the chairman of Country H Commercial Group, Elric, and his wife, Pamela."Allow me to introduce you, Harvey. This is an important p
As the leader of the Judd family and having spent so much time in the community of the social elites, Veer was no doubt very experienced. He could sense the enmity from both sides, and couldn't help but frown. It was obvious something upsetting had happened between them repeatedly.From Veer's angle, he didn't want to offend Harvey. However, Elric's identity was also quite high, and he couldn't simply cross Ekruc as well.After giving it a thought, Veer smiled and tried to calm the two of them down. "Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? I wonder if I have the chance to become the peacemaker and help the two of you make peace?"Harvey smiled as well. "Mr. Veer, I think it's best you don't interfere. There's too much involved. I don't want to drag the Judd family into this as well."Then, Harvey gave Pamela a good look and said with a smile, "You must be in a lot of pain right now, Pamela. As if your entire body is giving way. Just a little shaking is enough to make yo
For someone like Elric, who had survived a long time in Wolsing, he knew the importance of making alliances.If he couldn't kill Harvey, it would be best if he could drag the Judds of Wolsing at a critical time. Elric believed that if the Judds of Wolsing were willing to work with him, it would be easy to kill Harvey. Or rather, it would be easy to force Harvey to surrender.When Veer heard Elric's words, he smiled—however, his smile was stern. He was also very experienced, so of course he understood the provocation in Elric's words. He had introduced Elric to Harvey out of the goodness of his heart, but Elric wanted to stab him in the back in the end instead. It made Veer livid. Veer slowly walked forward and patted Elric's shoulder. "There's something you don't know, Elric. We won't pursue him if he doesn't take us seriously at all. We still won't do it even if he humiliates us out in the open. If he needs it, we will even ask our multimedia companies to help him promote this."
Elric nodded and said in a superficial manner, "Don't you worry. We won't let the two of them go just like that…"Pamela wanted to say something—but in the next instance, she suddenly screamed and her whole body started to shake."What's happening? What's happening to you?" Elric asked nervously.Pamela's face twisted in pain. She couldn't stop herself from convulsing and screaming in agony."Quick! Just say yes to whatever he wants! Just say yes! Tell him to save me! Save me! I don't want to die! It hurts so much…!" -In the evening, Harvey and Journi went into the Stanton residence. They came after receiving Elric's call.In one afternoon, Elric had made at least 30 calls. Other than begging Harvey to show him some mercy, he even begged Journi. The chairman that was sanctimonious and holier-than-thou had finally given up all his pride.He kept on begging and begging, hoping Harvey could save Pamela. He even promised to do everything Harvey wanted. However, time was of the
"This is the proof of my sincerity," Elric said, giving Harvey a serious look."This is not enough," Harvey said calmly.Elric's eye slightly twitched, and continued, "Secondly, this is your official appointment letter." He took out another thing."I have ten more days left as the chairman. Ten days later, you'll be Country H Commercial Group's new chairman. With this list, this seal, and this appointment letter, it will already be enough for you to take part in the Commercial Group's daily operations from now on."Elric looked at Harvey with mixed feelings."Everyone knows what to do when someone like me is leaving his post. From now on, no one in the group is going to listen to what an old timer like me has to say. Also, I will no longer interfere with my daughter's marriage. I don't care if you're really a couple or you're just faking it, my daughter is free either way." When Journi heard what Elric was saying, she shuddered a little, feeling like she was in a daze. She cou
Elric himself couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he praised Harvey in his mind. If someone like Harvey wasn't opposing him, he would try to recruit him at all costs. Of course, even if he did recruit Harvey, he wouldn't make Harvey into his son-in-law.To someone like Elric, only a scion from a top-class family like Emery would fit his criteria and benefit him."Don't be so happy, Mr. Elric," Harvey said with a meaningful smile. "While it looks like her condition is improving by leaps and bounds, I'll come to check up on her again in ten days just in case. I want to make sure that the cause of her problem is completely rooted out."We'll see each other again in ten days. Of course, I know that you know a lot of people and are quite influential, and you might be able to recruit some experts to help you deal with the remaining problems. But I want to advise you that it's best not to try that."If someone is interfering, it might make irritate me. And when I act again, it might b
Journi was slightly stunned, not sure why Harvey was doing this. Harvey smiled. "The Country H Commercial Group is connected to the Stanton family, after all. As an outsider, I won't be able to convince everyone when I become chairman. That's why I'm appointing you right now as my agent. Help me manage Country H Commercial Group. Are you alright with that?"Journi was quite surprised, to be honest. She knew very well why Harvey was doing this. While she was already free, all her resources and connections belonged to the Stanton family. If Elric wanted, he could take back all of it easily. Someone who lost everything like her would probably end up becoming his puppet again.However, things would be different if she acted as Harvey's agent. If she could take control of the Commercial Group, she would have the power to go against Elric directly. Not to mention, Harvey didn't simply give the commercial group to her. He only made her act as his agent.Which meant that she could count o
Journi didn't care that the board of directors was staring at her oddly. She politely invited Harvey to take his seat reserved for the chairman before sitting next to him. She switched on the mic and said, "Alright everyone. All of you know the person that's next to me. He is the next chairman that you have chosen, Harvey York."I am the agent he has employed. Which means that once he has officially become chairman, I will perform all the duties of a chairman on his behalf. My father is retiring in ten more days, but he has already signed the letter of appointment. The reason I called for this meeting is so that all of you can get to know and support each other better. That way, the Country H Commercial Group will become even better."After Journi had finished, she clapped. "Everyone understands what I'm saying?"When everyone from the board heard what Journi had to say, all of them revealed nothing but sneers and contempt. From what she had to say, even if Harvey had become chair
