Harvey York's Rise to Power

Chapter 327

“Mandy Zimmer, that man is still your husband after all, you should remind him how to kneel properly before Zack Zimmer always… It’ll be so sad if both of you get kicked out of the house because of his attitude!” Quinn Zimmer advised Mandy with ‘kindness’.

Mandy remained a blank face and said, “How does it matter with me whether he’s here or kneeling down?”

“Woah, trying to strike a line between you and him already? Mandy, you weren’t like this before becoming the poor little manager. Who would’ve known that you’re starting to care about your reputation after a change of status? Or is it that you haven’t gotten used to how trashy your husband is after three whole years?” Zack sneered. “But don’t you even dream about getting a divorce, your marriage was set by our great grandfather when he was still alive, you’ll be up against the whole family of Zimmer if you go against his wish!”

Zack has been thinking about it a lot those days, he won’t allow Mandy and Harvey York to get a divorce as his own status would be guaranteed only with Harvey staying and being a burden, pulling Mandy down.

“Zack, I have a sudden idea. It’s no fun to have that guy kneel down every day to you. Why don’t we ask the couple to kneel right in front of the whole company of employees once and for all? Let’s be kind enough to do that for them at least?” Quinn had a friendly smile plastered on her face but her mind was full of devilish thoughts.

Zack thought for a moment and howled with laughter. “You’re absolutely right. Mandy, I’m going to be kind and give both of you this great opportunity since he’s your husband, don’t be too grateful for me!”

Zack was extremely pleased, Quinn’s evil idea was so great, if Mandy and Harvey kneel before him in front of the whole company, no one would respect them anymore for sure!

“Oh yeah, is Harvey’s zodiac sign a dog?”

“Must be, or else why does he kneel down to anyone he meets?”

“As the saying goes, couples tend to act more and more similar to each other as time goes, why don’t both of you become dogs together?”

“But it’ll be cuter if dogs wag their tails, Zack, why don’t you let this shitty pair of a couple wag their tails for you and treat you like their master?”

At that moment, other Zimmers started to join in and mocked Mandy as she’s the sole cause of them losing out so much benefits those days, they’d be more than delighted to have an opportunity to bring her down.

Zack grinned like a Cheshire cat and replied, “Nah, it’s fine, I feel too ashamed to even be the master of the two dogs, can’t have my image of the vice-CEO ruined because of them you know?”

“That’s also true…”

The number of guests entering increased little by little but there’s still no sight of Harvey York, Zack even watched the hotel staff closely to make sure he wasn’t among them hiding, in that case Zack felt more and more reassured.

***

In the presidential suite of Niumhi Grand Hotel.

Harvey and Shane Naiswell were sitting directly across each other with a set of gorgeous antique chess in between them, they’re in the middle of a game of chess.

Shane knitted his eyebrows together while thinking, whilst Harvey looked nonchalant as ever, even played with his phone, as he moved his chess pieces.

This was already the third round and also the third time Shane lost.

With that, Shane couldn’t help but admire Harvey more and more.

Chess is well-known to almost everyone on this planet that anyone could absolutely play it without having to learn a lot.

But the truth is one could see another’s personality and working attitude as that person plans out his way of playing the game.

Throughout those few games Shane could already tell that Harvey was a well-organized person as he acted only after planning precisely, in his eyes, this man was absolutely perfect, he couldn’t understand why Harvey would become a live-in son-in-law of that obscure little family of Zimmers.

At that moment, Shane pushed the chessboard away lightly and sighed. “Let’s rest up, if not my image as an old man would all be gone, Harvey, your talent in playing chess doesn’t look like something you could obtain out of a basic training from anyone, who was your teacher?”

Harvey laughed. “Master, you’re overly praising me for this, who says that you should have a teacher to learn something as trivial as chess?”

Shane was slightly surprised at his statement and replied, “If playing chess is just something not important, what’s considered important to you then?”

“Personal development, family-oriented, good leadership in managing a country and making the world a peaceful place to live…” Harvey stated simply, “But of course, an ordinary man like me hasn’t even achieved the criteria of personal development well enough yet, lest other aspects.”

Shane was astounded at his words, this guy was so young yet everything came out of his mouth sounded so mature in a certain way.

“Naiswell, who would’ve known there’s a day you get a lecture from another person too?”

Right at that moment, the door was pushed open followed by an old man with a head of pure white hair, looking graceful as ever, with a pair of young man and woman tagging along behind.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
