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

“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

Everyone’s sights all fell on Harvey York. Once again, he had become the center of attention.Harvey York pointed at the mudball that was thrown to the ground by the host with a righteous face.The crowd glared at him with disdain after seeing his actions.‘This live-in son-in-law is shameless!’‘How dare he still speak at this point!’‘He clearly gave some sort of trash. How dare he say that his gift was the original pallet after he heard Keith Yates talk about it?!’‘That thing is South Light’s first-rated family, the Naiswell Patriarch, Shane Naiswell’s precious little baby!’‘It was said that the first-in-command of the military force in South Light asked for one before, but to no avail.’‘He’d give this to a live-in son-in-law like Harvey York? Why would he?’‘Is it because he's filth?!’“Harvey! What are you doing?! Stop playing around!”Mandy was on the verge of tears.‘Can’t he see what’s happening right now? Why is he still causing a ruckus?’‘Does he still think

The crowd who saw everything wanted to come up and slap Harvey York to death.‘What’s going on here?’‘Why is this man so disgusting? He’s doing it intentionally!’Simon and Lilian, who had seen the whole thing, wanted nothing more than to hide under a table.Embarrassing!Too embarrassing!Things were already fine before, things had already passed.But then this bastard actually claimed that the trash in his hand was actually the Authentic Lung Tonic!Wasn’t he afraid of being exposed?Right now, Simon wanted to strangle Harvey dead.Zack rose from his place and exclaimed,“Grandma Yates, I’ll represent the Zimmers to make a stance!”“This man, Harvey York, is the live-in son-in-law from my family!”“However, all of his actions have nothing to do with us whatsoever!”Listening to Zack, the rest of the guests confirmed that the disgusting-looking pallet was not the Authentic Lung Tonic.Babbles burst out in unison from the entire crowd.“Patriarch Yates, why are you still

Finn Yates couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma, is this the so-called Authentic Lung Tonic?“This is impossible!“That thing is practically equivalent to Master Naiswell’s life, he would never offer it just to anyone. What’s more, he’s just a mere live-in son-in-law!”The others also voiced out in agreement.“Grandma Yates, you must look at it carefully! There are a lot of con men these days. If one is not careful enough he or she will certainly fall for it!”“Yeah! This is medicine and not something to joke about. If it’s a fake one, not only you won’t get any benefits out of it, you might even get poisoned!”“Grandma Yates, this guy doesn’t look like someone who could own the Authentic Lung Tonic!”Keith Yates knitted his eyebrows together and said, “Mom, the Authentic Lung Tonic owned by Shane Naiswell it’s not something even the army’s first-in-command could get, so what about other people?“Please do think straight about this!”Keith was anxious about this matter, if his old

Mandy Zimmer was trembling hopelessly as well.She could accept the fact that her own husband was boastful and unaccomplished.But she would never accept that her husband was a thief!At that moment, even Keith Yates’ face darkened as he spoke, “Harvey York, now both the second-in-command of the South Light General Police Station and the first-in-command of the Buckwood Police Station are here!“At a time like this, you better clarify the matter!“It still won’t be too late to repeal for your mistake!”This wasn’t because of how understanding Keith was toward Harvey, it was only because if a matter such as something is stolen appeared in Grandma Yates’ birthday ceremony, the Yates family’s reputation would go down the drain!So now the best thing to do was to make Harvey return the thing while hoping Shane Naiswell to accept his apology.Only by then, the negative repercussions arising from this incident would be diminished as far as possible.Out of everyone’s expectation, Ha
