Chapter 756
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

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

“Let’s hurry and get to the front. It’s almost our turn!”Simon and Lilian hurried to the front of the hall shamelessly, hoping for the moment for a counterattack.They began to imagine a scene where Grandma Yates smiled from ear to ear when she received their gift.“Up next is a pair of antique porcelain vases with a history that spans five hundred years! These were made out of official kilns during ancient times, and were extremely valuable. If someone were to collect the pair, the value would skyrocket!”The host continued reading out the list.Tanya Yates and Leyton Luv stood up, and respectfully congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish you to have fortune that spreads across the seas and live as long as the mountains!”Grandma Yates wore a wide smile that could not be covered. She signalled the host to bring the pair of vases in front of her. She took a long look at them, nodding approvingly. “Oh, Tanya! You’re too sweet!”“Of course! I’ll do anything to satisfy you.” Tany

“You!”Grandma Yates trembled with fury.‘Why did Mandy Zimmer and her family give me a molding mudball?! Are they mocking me for still being alive at this age?!”“Sister, you don’t have to give Grandma Yates anything if you don’t want to! If you don’t have the money, anything would be better than this. Even just fruits will do!”Tanya Yates was speechless.In the beginning, she wanted to help her sister and put in some good words for Lilian.But Grandma Yates was already trembling in anger, and Tanya dared not provoke the old woman any further.Lilian Yates wanted to slam her head on the floor very badly.Things would still be fine if she and her husband didn’t walk up in front.But they did, and they became the center of attention in the entire hall… and then gave something like this!Embarrassing!Not only to her mother’s side of the family, but also to Buckwood. No, the entire South Light!‘I shouldn’t have come!’‘It’s all Harvey’s fault!’‘This man’s always doing mo

Mandy looked at Harvey and walked toward him, breathless. She exclaimed quietly, “Harvey, what are you trying to do?”“What can you do even if you keep staring at the gift box?”“A flower isn’t going to suddenly pop out just by you looking at it, right?”Harvey York frowned and replied, “You don’t understand. Master Naiswell gave me this before. It must be valuable!”Mandy Zimmer chuckled.‘Who do you think Master Naiswell is?’‘Alright, let’s say that the man looks up to you since you know how to appraise antiques.’‘But saying that he was the one who gave you this, who are you kidding?’The gift giving ceremony continued.Even Alex Swift and the others prepared their gifts.Of course, their gifts weren’t as extravagant as the rest, being only ordinary calligraphy and paintings of the sort.Still, they were all government officials. For them to attend the banquet was already the best gift they could offer. Grandma Yates would not dare to ask for anything more from them.Th
