At Zack Zimmer’s taunts, Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If I want to go, of course, I can go. If I don’t, no one can force me to.”Zack sneered, “You’re so good at bragging. Then you should go! If you can attend the birthday banquet, I will kneel in front of you!”Harvey laughed. “It’s not like you didn’t do that before. I’m not interested.”“You, you, you…!” Zack recalled the Antique Fair in Niumhi and his complexion worsened.Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and said, “Harvey, this is different from the past. At that time, you did a bit of power. That’s why the Naiswells invited you to the Antique Fair!”“The birthday banquet this time isn’t the same. It’s held by the Yates family, the first-class family in the provincial capital!”“The chief of the Yates family is the third-in-command in South Light!”“Such a family wouldn’t invite you just because you have a bit of ability!”“I initially thought that Mandy could be a representative of your family and attend the birthda
Lilian Yates immediately grew furious at Harvey’s remark. Glaring at him, she screamed, “Didn’t I just say it?!”“My brother is the head of the Yates family and the third-in-command in South Light!”“Are you saying that the third-in-command in South Light will personally come and send you the invitation card?”“Yes.” Harvey said indifferently, “I initially refused, but now, since Mandy wants to go, I’ll let him come.”Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer were both enraged.They had seen people bragging, but never to such an extent.It was just, Harvey’s lies seemed so close to the truth.Lilian did not even have the mood to get angry at this moment. Instead, she glanced at Mandy and said, “Mandy, as your mother, I kindly persuade you again. This kind of liar can only talk big without doing things practically. You should have kicked him out long ago!”Simon also left, lamenting. He was destined to have a miserable life in the next half of his life for getting involved with such a worth
In Buckwood Hotel.Although this place was not famous, it was not opened to the public. Instead, it was just a place used to entertain foreign guests and investors.This was where Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet was hosted.With this, we could also see the Yatese’ status in Buckwood.Today, the roads in this place were blocked by the police. Many of them were patrolling the surrounding area.Except for those with the invitation cards, no one else was permitted to access this area.It was said that even the waiters engaging in the internal services were specially and carefully selected. This was sufficient to further illustrate the influence of the Yates family in Buckwood.Luxury cars entered the hotel’s parking lot one after another. Those who exited these cars at the front of the hotel were all big shots from Buckwood’s elites.There were several figures from the business circles, as well. After all, the Yateses were an aristocratic family.Among these people, the Zimmer fam
“Father, we’re here to attend the birthday banquet. We have an invitation card.” Simon Zimmer said, gritting his teeth slightly.Simon couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was telling the truth, but he couldn't back down right now!“Oh? You have an invitation card?” Zack Zimmer laughed. “Then show it to us!” “This…”Simon automatically glanced at Harvey York.“Harvey said…”“What did he say?” Zack smiled.“Could it be that he told you he asked someone to send the invitation card here and let you come over?”“Yes.” Simon replied.“Pfft! Hahaha…”In the next second, the Zimmers roared with laughter. How could Simon and his family believe in Harvey’s clumsy lie?This was so funny!Senior Zimmer looked at Simon and said, “You’re still so stupid. I shouldn’t have brought your family to Buckwood back then. I truly feel ashamed!”It was apparent that Senior Zimmer had forgotten why the Zimmer family was able to come to Buckwood in the first placeFeeling the mocking gazes and merc
“Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer, you’re both here. This is your invitation, please keep it well.”Yvonne Xavier handed the invitation to Harvey York respectfully. Then, she turned around and left.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were shocked beyond belief.‘Someone actually did send an invitation!’The Zimmers were also dumbstruck by this turn of events. Harvey York was not boasting, someone really did turn up to give an invitation!And the person was none other than Yvonne Xavier of Sky Corporation!What an honor!While Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were still numb with shock, their family was respectfully invited into the banquet.The banquet was extremely crowded, and the spacious hall was flooded by people.Mandy Zimmer paid no attention to the full hall. Instead, she turned to flash Harvey a stern look. “Harvey, listen to me!”“Huh? Aren’t we already inside?”Harvey York was perplexed.‘We’re already in, what’s the problem now?’Mandy Zimmer told him seriously, “It’s true Miss
“Mother, brother!”Lilian was holding back her tears of joy. Finally, after being away from her family for so long, she was able to return to them!Simon was excited as well. He wanted to greet the family.His eyes lit up even more brightly after seeing Keith Yates.If he could be acquainted with this man, then his status in the Zimmers’ family would be solidified in the future.But before he could even utter a single word, Keith Yates simply nodded his head curtly.Grandma Yates, for her part, let out a cold harrumph. She glanced briefly at Mandy and her family, and then closed her eyes.Simon and Lilian were shocked.This was the best example of a cold shoulder!Embarrassing! Truly embarrassing!Keith Yates’ manners were still tolerable in Lilian Yates’ eyes.Naturally, her brother had barely accepted herself as family. As for her own mother, the old woman still needed a lot more time.If it weren’t for the fact that today was Grandma Yates’s birthday banquet, the old wom
At Harvey’s words, everyone flashed him looks of disgust.Especially Lilian, whose face was now as dark as night.She understood the kind of person that her mother was.Back when Lilian married Simon, he was still an ambitious man. Even then, Grandma Yates wanted to choke Lilian to death for her choice.Now that Mandy Zimmer’s husband said something that shameless, there was no way to make Grandma Yates look up to the family again.As predicted, Grandma Yates exhaled quietly, then spun on her heels and left. She didn’t even bat an eye at Mandy Zimmer’s family as she went away.Keith Yates glared at Harvey York coldly, then turned around and left as well.Since Mandy Zimmer was very capable in the eyes of the Yateses, they could accept her as a relative.But as she had married a man like Harvey, the whole family had to reconsider if they should actually accept her.“It’s fine, brother-in-law. Grandma Yates usually has a bad temper. It’ll be fine after a while,” Xynthia Zimmer t
After a long while, Simon stood up shakily and put his hands around Lilian. “Honey, don’t cry. We don’t even know what’s inside yet, what if it’s something good?!”“Something good? How can it possibly be good?!”Lilian's face had lost all color.“I only hope that it’s some sort of crystal or antique! If it’s something ordinary…”Lilian was on the verge of passing out again as she spoke..There was finally a chance to reconcile with Grandma Yates after all these years. If this filth Harvey York actually caused her to lose it, she might actually die of anger!Soon, the birthday banquet was about to begin.However, most of the VIP guests who were supposed to attend had not arrived yet.These people were all basically big shots of South Light and Buckwood’s government.Keith Yates may be the third-in-command of South Light and has a very high status in the government, but it was the big shots who held the real power. Their authority was not inferior to his.When the others paid
