“Second Brother…”Wayne York glanced at Queenie York and then bowed calmly.Quinton York glanced at Queenie with a smirk on his face and said faintly, “Third Brother, what’re you going to do?”Wayne smiled and said, “Of course, I will follow your instructions and explicitly execute what you’ve ordered.”“Then play with him. Let him lose. Let him lose everything.“Let him lose until he could not pay off the debt even if it meant to give the entire Zimmer family. I want to see how far our good Big Brother is willing to go for his cheap father-in-law…”Quinton said nonchalantly. For him, this was all just a game.Wayne nodded and said, “Second Brother, don’t worry. I will arrange everything and make sure that there wouldn’t be any mistakes. Even if the police arrive, they wouldn’t be able to find any proof!”***Three of the Famous Four of the Yorks were in the venue tonight.Simon Zimmer would not have thought that such a nobody like him could actually let so many nobilities ob
Soon after, Harvey York and the others were escorted into a large box; there were a few dozen people holding steel pipes and watermelon knives with intimidating looks on their faces.The smell of blood rushed into people’s noses, making them feel nauseated.There was a man lying on the ground at that moment, his body curled up in a fetal position, twitching incessantly and covered in blood.“Simon…”“Father…”After recognizing the person that was lying on the ground, Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates swiftly rushed toward him.Seeing Simon Zimmer beaten up to this state, Harvey had a cold look in his eyes even though he was not too fond of his cheap father-in-law.‘These people should die for making my wife shed her tears!’“Save me! Please!” Simon said while trembling and curling up on the ground the moment he saw his family.He was truly beaten up to a pulp that night, he had never encountered an affair of the sort for a man that had been fed by a silver spoon his whole life.A
Simon Zimmer had froze after listening to the “friends” accusing him of such things, he stared at the gang of scoundrels in astonishment.“You all framed me! You planned this all along!” scolded Simon.“Did we force you? Did we even tell you to come?”“You were doing this on your own will from the beginning!”“Did we even do so much as to touch you from beginning till the end?”Simon went dead silent.Just as the scoundrels he called friends said, he willingly did everything. Nobody could force him.Only his greed was to blame!Mandy Zimmer had understood the situation, this was a thorough frame-up.She thought for a while and whispered to Harvey York, “Should we call the police?”“No, it’s no use. They might do something out of desperation!” Harvey reasoned calmly.Tiger Ray heard what the two were talking about and gave a cold chuckle.“You wanna call the cops? Sure! Do as you like!“All the money he owed and borrowed from other people, everything was written in black an
Finally, Harvey York and the others left the scene with Simon Zimmer.Lilian Yates trembled as they had gotten back to the entrance of the place and reprimanded Simon while on the verge of tears, “I told you to stop gambling, but you never listen to me!“Tell us, what are we even going to do now?!“Where are we even going to find fourteen million dollars?!”“Yeah!”Mandy Zimmer let out a huge sigh.“We’re only delaying them for now, is there anything that we can do other than paying them back?”Harvey let out a chuckle without saying anything.Simon was down at first, but he straightened his body and pointed at Harvey and screamed at him after he saw his expression.“What are you laughing at?!“Hurry up and think! You worthless sack of trash!“If I had a good son-in-law, this thing would be solved in minutes!“You! You’re just filth! You’re to blame for what happened today!”Harvey froze over after hearing what he said, he could not fathom how Simon even came close to this
Simon Zimmer had gotten back to his senses while he was in the middle of his explanation and then he loudly exclaimed, “I understand now. I’m being framed and my friends are involved with it!”Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked at each other, then nodded in unison.“This must be it!“There are only two ways of solving this problem…“Either we pay the money back!“Or we find out the person framing you and solve the problem completely!“But I suggest the latter for now. Let’s figure out the situation before we think about paying them back!”Harvey York suggested the idea.Simon then glared at Harvey full of vex in his eyes and then scolded him, “Are you serious? The man said that every day we stall, I’d get one of my fingers cut off!“Who do you think you are? Sherlock Holmes?!“You’re not paying the money, but instead you’re looking for the truth?!“By the time you’re done, all of my toes would be gone!”“Alright—alright—stop fighting. We’ll figure it out first thing in th
“I’ll give you one day to get the money, you know the consequences if you don’t already!“When that happens, I’ll have to invite the Zimmers to beg for food on the streets!“Hahaha…”Tiger Ray turned around and left with a smug expression, extremely full of himself.When the Zimmers all calmed themselves down, they were all almost driven mad.“Go… Find Simon Zimmer!”“Right, someone needs to take responsibility!”“Senior, beat this bastard to a pulp…”***On first light, Simon and Lilian Yates were just heading out the door while carrying dark circles around their eyes.Knock knock knock!At this moment, there were loud knocks on the door echoing inside.As soon as Simon opened the door, a throng of people immediately rushed in and filled the room.Senior Zimmer leading the crowd gave Simon a furious slap across his face.“You wastrel! What did you do this time?! Tell us!“I worked hard my entire life and finally got us into Buckwood!“After so many setbacks, so many ha
“Where’s Harvey?” Zack Zimmer immediately jumped up and said furiously.Simon Zimmer took this opportunity.“Can’t you see that he’s absent? He already ran away!”Senior Zimmer was trembling in anger.“Harvey York, you bastard. I’ll kill him!“Go! Find that bastard now!”A crowd of people furiously marched out of the hall.When the Zimmers had finally left, Simon Zimmer let out an exhale of relief.‘Thank goodness that I was smart. I would’ve been beaten to a pulp if I wasn’t.’“Thank goodness you’re also here, honey. They wouldn’t believe me if you weren’t,” Simon said nervously.“Why would I even say things like this if it weren’t for saving your sorry soul?“But the filth, Harvey isn’t all that useful anyway. He’ll be better off being a scapegoat!“Come on, let’s go find my sister and my brother-in-law and ask them for money…“The people will cut off your finger if we don’t give them the money soon!”Lilian Yates let out a sigh.Simon did not waste more time to speak
At the same time, Harvey York had already started his investigation.He inquired information from the connections he had with some gangsters and was basically sure that Simon Zimmer was not cheating from the beginning, him winning a lot at the start was purely luck and it was not even intentional.He had only lost money later only because he met a skilled player in the said game.It was safe to assume that the incident had been plotted by an outsider, but everything was flawless, he could not find anything off about the situation.Of course, it would be much easier for the police to find out what actually took place if they were called.But if that were to happen, then Simon Zimmer would have to live behind bars for quite a while.If that were the case, Mandy Zimmer would be heartbroken.And Harvey definitely did not want to see her that way.In all honesty, it was only fourteen million dollars. With his worth, it would be a matter of minutes before the money could be paid back
