Chapter 753
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

While everyone was gossiping about, several men in uniforms strode gracefully into the banquet hall.A young man led them. He looked around about twenty-seven or eight years, but carried the grace of an elite.This was Keith’s son and Mandy’s cousin, Finn Yates.He was a captain-level inspector at Buckwood Police Station, and thus possessed a degree of authority in Buckwood.He entered the hall, followed by his men, looking exhilarated.“Grandmother, father. Let me introduce you, this is the second-in-command of Buckwood Police Station, Deputy Inspector Greg Finch. This is the third-in-command, Kevin Caulfield…”Finn introduced seven to eight Buckwood Police Station higher ups. These figures were all one or two levels above him.However, the chief inspector was not present.These higher ups all respected Finn Yates.Under Finn’s lead, every one of them presented their gifts and congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish Grandma Yates fortune that spread across the seas and a life

The reality was, Simon and Lilian had the lowest ranking out of everyone in the Yates family.Needless to say, Keith Yates was South Light’s third-in-command. He had a high status and immense power.His son was about to be the deputy inspector of Buckwood Police Station, a young and promising man.As for Tanya Yates, she was establishing her own business. Although it wasn’t anything major, she would earn thousands of dollars per year.Leyton Luv, on the other hand, was the vice president of Buckwood Bank. He, too, had immense power and high status. In fact, countless people constantly sought his help.Compared to them all, Simon and Lilian were nothing. They were but a bunch of clowns.Mandy Zimmer was able to make a good impression before, but she ultimately failed because of Harvey York.Right now, Simon and Lilian were ashamed beyond belief.Suddenly, sounds rang from outside the hall door.A few middle-aged men walked in with big steps. The man at the very front wore a smi

The crowd went wild after hearing this and started to gossip frantically.Finn Yates’ identity was already so extraordinary. How much better would someone he personally praised be?A bewildered guest asked, “Didn’t the Yates family say that Finn is the most talented young man in his generation? Is there another brother-in-law that’s just as capable?”“How could it be possible for a granddaughter of the Yateses family to marry an ordinary person? No matter what, she’d definitely pick a wealthy and powerful man, right?”The crowds’ gazes shifted around, finally landing on Harvey York. At the sight of him, they began to tremble.“This man, his mannerisms…!”The Zimmers, who were in the crowd, all looked terribly anxious. When they heard the gossip, they exchanged glances and burst into quiet chuckles. Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth as she laughed. “Grandfather, now I finally know why the Yateses looked up to Mandy and her family!”“Harvey must have boasted up a storm!”“The Yate

At this very moment, Mandy Zimmer’s face had lost all color. She had no idea that word had spread this far.She didn’t know how to reply to Finn’s remark. When she finally came to her senses and was about to take a step forward to correct the misunderstanding, Harvey York suddenly cut her off.“Brother-in-law, I am indeed Prince York.”To Harvey York, it was fine if the Yates family knew of his true identity. He could even take a peek at their reactions.Hiss!The crowd sucked in a sharp breath of air right there and then.‘Is this man really Prince York?’‘He’s the man who controlled the Yorks and built a million-dollar company on his own!’‘The Yates family are about to be filthy rich!’Right now, Finn had no other thoughts.“Oh, good brother-in-law! The Yates family is in your hands! In the future, we will need you to support all of us!”Keith Yates had a profound look in his eyes.If the man in front of him really was Prince York, then the Yatese family should really

Slap!Under the crowds’ dumbfounded gaze, Grandma Yates swung her cane against Harvey’s back.After hitting him, she spat icily, “It’s important to know your own limitations! Aren’t you aware of your own abilities?”She then jabbed her cane in front of Simon and Lilian.“Properly discipline your live-in son-in-law! How is it that he cannot comprehend when to talk and when not to?”“If you don’t know how to teach him properly, then take him out here and leave!”“My birthday banquet is supposed to be a happy one, not a circus where a clown can act like an insane person!”Her words were too heavy.Simon and Lilian were dumbfounded. They could only bow their heads down and stay silent.Lilian had tears dripping down her face.This was her family!She dreamt of coming back to her family full of grace.Yet now that she returned, she was forced to endure shame of this magnitude!Right now, she wanted to hang herself.Embarrassing!How could she be able to raise her head up high
Chapter 760
How shameful!Before, Lilian thought that she had already lived a shameful life in the Zimmer family.She didn’t think she could surpass the humiliation she felt today!Even Simon Zimmer was grinding on his teeth.They were here to get closer to the Yates family. Even if they could not bathe in the Yateses’ limelight, they could at least build some connections.But what happened in the end? Other than getting utterly humiliated, what did they gain?“Leave! You’ve embarrassed the whole Yates family!” Finn shouted, unable to hold himself back. “This is just outrageous!” “You can embarrass yourselves all you want, but don’t drag my father and grandmother into this!”“You all may not resent being shamed, but the family cannot lose face!”Finn remarked bitterly, resentful that Simon’s family did not meet his expectations. Simon and Lilian had no choice. They could only hang their heads low as they retreated from the hall.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were about to leave as w
