“Zack Zimmer is truly the hope for our family!”“Looks like even without that ‘somebody’ who went this morning, the Yorks would contact us after all.”The crowd changed their standpoints again, this time turned against Mandy Zimmer.“You sure about that Zack?” Senior Zimmer asked with a frown on his face.“Of course!” Zack replied as he called Wendy Sorrell and put her on the speaker.“Hello, Mr. Zimmer.” Wendy’s soft voice came out from the speaker.“Hello Ms. Sorell, I’ve already notified Senior Zimmer about your visit tonight, may I know when will you arrive?” Zack replied with a smirk.“No need to cause a scene, I’m just here to hand some stuff over to you.” Wendy replied.“My pleasure. Do you need a ride?” Zack offered.“No need, I have my own transport, I’ll arrive around 7pm.” Wendy replied.“Alright, we’ll be waiting for your arrival!” Zack replied with a proud look before hanging up the call.‘Stuff? What stuff? Could it be the contract?’ The crowd was astonished.

“Grandpa…” Mandy Zimmer anxiously looked at Senior Zimmer.Senior Zimmer smiled and said, “Mandy, I know that I’ve wronged you today. However, this contract that you’ve brought back does not bring any benefits at all to the Zimmer family. Of course, I will not forget your contribution to this. How about this? Once everything is in place and we’ve gotten our profits, I will give you a bit more than promised?”Senior Zimmer kept mum about the CEO position. He had tossed the matter out of the window without revisiting it anymore.He had never thought highly of his granddaughters. He always thought that women were money-consuming goods sooner or later. It did not help that Mandy’s husband was a worthless live-in son-in-law. He used to have some respect for her solely because Mandy managed to secure the contract from York Enterprise. Since Zack Zimmer was now more capable than her, he naturally casted Mandy aside.Mandy sat down in silence. She could not say another word. Senior Zimme

In front of the villa at this moment, Senior Zimmer lifted his arm to look at the time on his gold watch worn on his wrist. He saw that it was almost time, so he waved to signal the crowd to keep quiet. He then said in his low voice, “Remember that tonight is an important night for us, the Zimmer family. Tonight will determine whether our family will be able to become a first-class family in Niumhi. Everyone, please give your best spirits and carefully tend to our main guest. Do you understand?”“Yes sir!” The crowd of Zimmer family replied with smiles on their faces. Wendy Sorrell was a gold mine for them. They naturally would want to entertain her well. Zack Zimmer suddenly whispered at this time, “Grandpa, I actually have a premature proposal.”“Sure, my dear obedient grandson. Tell me quickly what’s on your mind.” Senior Zimmer became excited.He was quite disappointed with Zack’s performance before. However, he was particularly pleased with him tonight.More importantly, he

An incredulous gasp was heard amongst the crowd. A golden miniature horse statue was sitting inside the box. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was quite expensive! It was an old-fashioned item, but the price was displayed there.Accordingly, Yohann Stone and Senior Zimmer were of the same status. There was no need to present such a generous gift when they would meet. However, he was being modest today which allowed the Zimmer family’s reputation to greatly increase.“Sure, sure, sure. Anyone who goes through this door is our guest. Please take a seat, Manager Stone. However, please don’t be so modest next time. I will humbly accept this gift!” Senior Zimmer’s smile was so wide that he could hardly close his mouth as he nodded profusely.This was not a matter of money, but of reputation. Although Yohann had his doubts and found out that Wendy Sorrell and Secretary Xavier were coming over, he was a sly fox himself. He did not expose this side of him.After greeting Yohann

Senior Zimmer noticed the change in her expression and sighed. She must be an inexperienced woman to be easily shocked. She would be easily influenced.Zack Zimmer went forward with a wide smile and stretched out his hand. “Welcome, Manager Sorrell, it is an honor to have you here. Allow me to introduce. This is the senior of our family…”Wendy Sorrell’s face was polite. She retreated half a step without any change in her expression. She nodded slightly and said, “I’ve seen Senior before.”Zack’s hand stiffened at her words, but he kept his high spirits. He quickly changed his gesture to a welcoming one. “Since you are here, Manager Sorrell, please have something to eat at our humble abode before we proceed to talk about business. Is that fine with you?”Wendy hesitated for a while before smiling and said, “I’ve asked another friend to come. I’m not sure if she will agree to the dinner invitation.”Soon, a beautiful woman clad in a business suit with her hair tied up in a ponyta

The Zimmer family were displaying such hospitality and although Wendy Sorrell and Yvonne Xavier were both embarrassed, they politely sat down. They were not intimidated by the Zimmer family. However, they remembered that the CEO’s wife belonged to the Zimmer family, so they needed to show some manners. Else, if word gets out that people of their standings were being rude, they might even lose their future meals. Yvonne and Wendy sat at the center seats of the main table. Beside them, Senior Zimmer, Sean Zimmer, and Zack Zimmer all sat in turn. On the other side, Yohann Stone, Zachariah Brooke, and the rest of the family heads sat down too. These people all had high standings in the city of Niumhi. Senior Zimmer did not dare to be discourteous. However, when the younger generation of the Zimmer family saw this scene, their eyes were about to burst with rage. This b*stard, Zack, had prosperous luck indeed. He did not only manage to have Wendy come along, he even got Yvonne to attend
Chapter 96
Yvonne Xavier was about to say something when her gaze swept across the crowd and she was utterly shocked that instant she saw someone familiar.Harvey York!She managed to spot Harvey who was seated in the corner. She had no more appetite for the meal and dashed toward Harvey’s direction. She was shrouded with anxiety.Everyone’s attention was focused on her and wondered what she was up to. Yet, she walked toward the man who was clad in clothes bought from the street stalls. When she stood next to him, the expression on the faces of many changed drastically.This was especially true for the Zimmer family. Numerous people’s faces have changed that instant!What was with this live-in son-in-law? Had this worthless trash offended Secretary Xavier? That she had to sprint over to him the moment she caught sight of him?A chill ran down Senior Zimmer’s spine. Secretary Xavier was someone who should never be offended. If Harvey had upset her in the past, he would cut him up into pieces

Zack Zimmer was rendered speechless at this spontaneous decision. He never thought that his grandfather would treat him so well that he would bring out all these items.The expressions of the other family heads started to slightly change one by one. They all had the same set in their homes. After all, this was trendy to have for the upper-class society of Niumhi.Senior Zimmer eyes turned toward Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell. He then smiled. “Dear distinguished guests, since you’re here, why not come and have a look at our set of precious items that belong to the Zimmer family?”Yvonne and Wendy were about to reject the offer but when they saw the luxurious items of high quality in few of the boxes, any woman would be moved. Hence, they both could not resist but glance over. Senior Zimmer noticed their expressions. He was adamant to attain victory that night. He then waved and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, come and have a look.”The first bodyguard opened the box at the front. I
