Leighton put on a bold face as he walked over and bowed a little when he saw Haruka approaching them. "Ms. Haruka, I know today is Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise. Outsiders like us shouldn't be here, but our chairman Mr. Harvey York wishes to discuss something with you. That's why we're here.""Discuss? What's there to be discussed?" Haruka scoffed. "Have you forgotten that Hexagon Inc. is Country H Commercial Group's largest shareholder? I can say that we're your boss. This so-called chairman is, at most, a living sign. At worst? He's just another one of our employees. What's there to discuss?"Leighton smiled. "He wishes for your company to withdraw all your investments from the group…""I refuse," Haruka said without even giving Harvey a look. "If there's nothing else, leave. Get out of my sight.""Ms. Haruka Ito, is it?" Harvey said with a calm smile as he narrowed his eyes. "I checked last night, and your company has used multiple channels to obtain the group's shares.
"The last Islander who dared to speak to me like that got in a coffin for a long time," Harvey said with a dry smile. The entire atmosphere cooled down when the Islanders what Harvey had said. Their expressions were especially gloomy.It was Hexagon Inc.'s team-building exercise today. For saying something like that in a place like this, Harvey wasn't showing any respect to the Islanders and Hexagon Inc. Nicholas, who was standing in the corner discreetly, revealed a cold smile. In an instant, he put down the wine glass in his hand and walked over, filled with murderous intent.A woman like Haruka was difficult to obtain. Even a warrior from the Dark Island like Nicholas had to use everything he knew to be able to get to her. To save her in a place like this… The effects would more than double. Originally, Nicholas was going to start a fight with Harvey. An opportunity like this was more than suitable."Enough! Why are you so bold to speak to Ms. Haruka in such a manner?" Nich
Everyone around Harvey and Nicholas looked at them oddly. To outsiders like them, they would never place any importance on those who looked up to them. The scorn in their smiles became even more apparent when Harvey humiliated Nicholas completely.To them, what was happening right now was like a scene out of a prison fight where the criminals were fighting each other.On the other hand, Haruka couldn't help but laugh. She didn't feel ashamed when someone so loyal to her would say anything to get her approval, even if he got humiliated. She simply found it all laughable.In truth, Haruka had never regarded her bodyguard as someone on equal footing. He was humiliating his own country. This had nothing to do with the Island Nation, right?Nicholas didn't know that Haruka was laughing at him. He assumed Haruka was happy because he stepped in and saved her.He turned around and smiled at Haruka. His expression was basically saying that if anyone wanted to hurt her, he would have to wal
Harvey looked at Nicholas who was making a show in front of him like he was looking at an idiot.Haruka stepped forward icily and immediately slapped Nicholas. There was a loud sound, and her expression remained just as cold. "Do you think you can call me by my first name? You're just a bodyguard who earns less than 400 dollars a month, so stop acting in front of me! I hired you to work here, not to act cool! Now, scram! Right now!"Haruka originally wanted to get rid of Harvey and his entourage at the speed of light. However, this bodyguard was simply making her feel disgusted as she looked at him acting cool and wanting to save her. She was no fool, and quickly understood why Nicholas wanted to do it.This was why she hated the men from Country H the most. Did the bodyguard believe he had a chance with her? What a joke!However, Haruka's attitude was enough to make Nicholas reveal an even more mischievous smile. When he was in Dark Island, he had pursued plenty of daughters of
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the
