Mandy Zimmer did not know why Lilian Yates would ask about this, but she still nodded and replied, “Yeah! She’s back. Currently, she’s a general manager for a company in San Francisco!”“Halsey’s so talented!”Lilian was showing an expression full of admiration.“You should call and ask her to come to hang out in Buckwood. I’ll treat her to a meal when she gets here!”After her speech, she then left with utmost content.She knew that she could not convince Mandy anymore, but Halsey Lowe might have a different case.If she were to convince Mandy successfully, she would have no problems enjoying wealth and glory in the future!Without a second thought, Lilian disdained Harvey York more than before.She glared at Harvey without even greeting him when she left.When Lilian and Simon had left, Mandy then apologized, “Harvey, don’t put this to heart. Mother’s always been like this.”Harvey smiled and replied, “I’m used to it.”He wanted to explain the situation about Prince York b
At the Black Tea Diner.The Olden Trade’s most high-end dining place, it was said that a meal there would cost about ten thousand dollars.Ordinary people did not even have the right to pass by the diner, not to mention dining in the place.Yvonne Xavier and the handsome man walked into the Black Tea Diner at that moment. Harvey York then followed in hastily while frowning.Harvey saw Yvonne in the middle of the big hall when he came to the entrance.It was apparent that the whole diner had been booked. The hall was decorated as if it was a palace.Not far from Yvonne, there was an elderly woman with silver hair. There were a few middle-aged men along with a few younger women.The handsome man who came with Yvonne bowed in front of the elderly woman and stood on the side.The crowd’s gaze all landed on Yvonne Xavier. Some were as cold as ice. Others were looking at her with disdain.Harvey frowned. If he looked at it this way, the man seemed like he was not Yvonne Xavier’s boy
Yvonne Xavier tilted her head up after a moment of dead silence to look at Jesse Xavier.“Cousin Jesse, I’m not marrying anyone.”Jesse chuckled, not saying another word.Ivan Xavier then exclaimed, “Yvonne, you don’t have the right to speak in front of our great grandmother!”“You’re but a collateral relative. You’re already lucky enough that the prince of the Leo family isn’t disgusted by you. What right do you have to give him the cold shoulder?” Rita Lawson scolded Yvonne with an expression as cold as ice.Yvonne coldly glared back at her aunt.“Aunty, I’ll decide what happens to my own body. None of your opinions matter.”Slap!Rita Lawson walked up toward her and gave her a slap across her face, then exclaimed furiously, “How presumptuous! I can’t believe you’re this disobedient! Are you not even going to listen to what our great grandmother has to say?”After Yvonne was slapped, Harvey York, that was standing at the entrance, could not bear to see the sight any longer.
“Mom, this has nothing to do with him. Just let him go.”Yvonne Xavier subconsciously stood in front of Harvey York at this moment, not wanting him to be hurt.The middle-aged woman that Yvonne called her mom was none other than Iona Sherman, Yvonne’s stepmother.After her father passed away, Iona Sherman was her closest relative in public.She furiously scolded Yvonne, “You spoiled goods. You still call me your mom?“What? Your heart broke when I hit your lover?“Don’t be shameless like your father, not knowing courtesy and shame, outside looking for women every day!”Iona then shifted her cold gaze back toward Harvey after her speech, then said coldly, “A so-called prince like you only dares to take cover behind a woman? You’re just as useless as the legends say that you are!”Harvey looked deeply into Iona’s eyes, then covered Yvonne behind his back and quietly whispered, “It’s fine. I can handle things like this.”After seeing Yvonne and Harvey as if they were lovers, Iona
Harvey York did not sit down.Jesse Xavier did not mind at all but sipped on his tea without a care for the world.“Grandma Xavier’s always been like this. She wouldn’t even care about anybody that she isn’t interested in.“As for Yvonne, she was a granddaughter that Grandma Xavier really adored before. But because of you, she became a laughing stock in all of Wolsing’s upper social circle. You tell me, how are you going to pay for this?”Harvey frowned.“I have nothing to do with her, we…”Before Harvey York could even finish his sentence, Jesse let out a puff of air.“Harvey, we’re all men here. Should I be more blunt with this?”“Secretary this, secretary that. If there’s something up, the secretary does it. If there’s none, do the secretary. I’m not the one that made this up.”Harvey was utterly speechless after hearing his words.He was definitely taking the blame for this, no matter what.Yvonne Xavier opened her mouth, but she ultimately could not say a word.Jesse X
“Yvonne, I already told you. Harvey’s ambition is terrifyingly big.“A man like this will never be subdued under another.“If you choose him, you’ll live a life full of pain and suffering.”Sheldon Xavier let out a sigh. He admired Harvey York because of his true identity.Even though the Xaviers from Wolsing did not look up to his status as Prince, they would try their best to avoid conflict with the man if his other identity was revealed.But Sheldon did not once hope that his own granddaughter is involved with Harvey.“Listen to your grandfather. You should be picking Chris Leo. Or maybe you looked up to another person, even if it’s a beggar. If you say the word, I can make him into a man.”“I’ll allow anyone but him!”Yvonne then coldly replied, “Grandfather, don’t forget our promise before. Are you saying all these things to try to break the promise now?”After seeing Yvonne’s stubborn look, Sheldon then let out another sigh.“Right, the fifteen-day promise isn’t far awa
Sky Corporation, CEO’s office.The CEO’s office felt a bit empty due to Yvonne’s absence.The office desk, which was clean before, was covered with documents that had piled up like a mountain.Seeing this, Harvey couldn’t help but smile bitterly.He never took notice of his habit of making Yvonne do all the work while doing nothing himself in the past, and how much of his work Yvonne had done for him. Staring at Yvonne’s desk, Harvey muttered to himself, “Don’t worry. No one in this world can force you to do anything.”“Not the Leos of Hong Kong…”“Nor the Xaviers from Wolsing.”About half an hour later, the sound of knocking came on the CEO’s office door. Ray Hart entered respectfully.“Have you checked thoroughly?” Harvey asked.Ray answered seriously, “Prince, I’ve investigated the matter. But because we assigned someone else to check this, our identities might get exposed.”“It’s alright, pass me the documents.” Harvey said casually.The moment Harvey assigned Ray to s
At the same night, Chris Leo and the others received a message.Chris held the letter, which was blood red colour, for a long time before chuckling. “Prince York is truly arrogant and forceful. He’s basically forcing me to take back my marriage proposal!”“No, not only taking back my marriage proposal…he’s trying to step on our heads. Us, the Leos of Hong Kong! Is he worthy enough to do that?”Stephen York, who was sitting opposite of him, smiled. “Prince York is being too rash this time.”“Although he got rid of the Surreys and Ryan Gotti, this letter of his is no different from pushing the Robbins and the rest of three first-class families to our side.”“This is getting interesting.”Chris said casually, “Of course it’s interesting! Callum Robbins and the others have contacted me to discuss the countermeasures. This time, we’ll let them be the pawn before the horse. You and I can definitely reap the benefits out of this whole thing!”When he finished speaking, Chris and Stephe
