Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 285

Thinking of that, Zack Zimmer’s facial expression became extremely unpleasant.

“No, I can’t let Mandy Zimmer have her way. What if she truly divorces him successfully? Then she’ll have the chance to compete for the post with me. No way! I must think of a resolution!” Zack frowned slightly.

“That’s easy. You just tell Grandpa that it’s a critical time for us now given our cooperation with York Enterprise. We can’t afford to have any kinds of issues here in the Zimmers. Then you can ask Grandpa to prohibit them from having a divorce. That will do, isn’t it?” Quinn Zimmer said smugly. She felt that her idea was tremendously good.

“That’s reasonable!” Zack breathed a sigh of relief. However, the way he looked at Quinn was slightly vigilant now. ‘It seems like this woman is not to be trifled with. I need to keep my guard up around her in the future.’

Harvey York did not see Mandy when he reached home. However, he saw Lilian Yates sitting in the living room with a solemn facial expression. But she could not suppress the smile she had at that moment.

Seeing that Harvey had entered the living room, Lilian threw the agreement in her hand to the floor with a bang. She then said coldly, “Harvey, sign the divorce agreement. From now on, you’re not the Zimmers’ son-in-law anymore. Do pack up your things and get the hell out of here!”

At that moment, Lilian nearly burst into laughter. She had been yearning to say that for three whole years. At last, she could finally kick the worthless piece of trash out of her house. She was indeed greatly overjoyed.

Next, she would just have to look for an exceptional son-in-law. Then, she would be able to stay at home and enjoy all the wealth and glory.

Harvey took up the divorce agreement from the floor and took a few glances at it. But he did not sign it. He just frowned and asked, “Where’s Mandy?”

Lilian did not know what had happened either. However, she saw that divorce agreement on Mandy’s desk when she entered Mandy’s room just now.

For her, it was not important as to what had happened. Harvey was about to be kicked out of the house. At last, her daughter could divorce him. That was indeed a wonderful thing.

In that instant, it was impossible for her to be a mediator. But she realized what she was supposed to do. She should make the incident worse and kick Harvey out of the house at the first possible moment.

“What right do you have to ask where Mandy is? She’s prepared the divorce agreement. Don’t you understand what she meant by that?” Lilian smiled and said. ‘What a terrific chance! I can make use of this chance to kick Harvey out of the house. It'll certainly be much better that way.’

“Mom, stop talking!” Harvey said.

Now, it seemed like Mandy was still angry about the incident related to Ella Graves. He could not even explain himself well. If he let Lilian create a mess there still, the incident would only be worsened.

“Harvey, what do you mean? Now, my daughter has finally seen clearly what a worthless piece of trash you are. She wants to divorce you. Why are you shouting at me? You’re just a live-in son-in-law. I ask you to get lost, and you’ve no choice but to do so. What right do you have to talk nonsense with me here?” Lilian sat on the sofa condescendingly, and she appeared cold.

“Mom, can’t you let the two of us resolve our own problem?” Harvey sighed. Although he had long gotten used to Lilian’s temper, he was quite helpless that day.

“Resolve it? Isn’t it resolved now? Don’t you understand the words there? It’s a divorce agreement! Are you blind?” Lilian pointed at Harvey and scolded him loudly.

In that instant, Mandy came downstairs from the first floor all of a sudden. She looked at Lilian calmly and said, “Mom, I’ll resolve it by myself. You don’t have to talk much.”

After that, she looked at Harvey coldly and said, “You saw the divorce agreement. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me now. I’ve got around a few hundred thousand dollars of property under my name, and I can give a part of it to you. Besides, about the eight hundred thousand dollars you lent me before, I’ll certainly return them to you even though I’ll have to take out everything I’ve got…”

Hearing that, Lilian became nervous. She rushed toward Mandy directly and said softly, “Daughter, are you stupid? You gained those few hundred thousand dollars of property with so much toil. And that eight hundred thousand dollars too. He was the one who gave them to you. He’s been eating and living for free in our home during all these years. He should really give some contribution, right?

“I think that he should leave without taking any alimony. Besides, he should endure the debt of eight hundred thousand dollars by himself!”

As Lilian said that, she could not help but praise herself. If they did it like that, not only could they kick that worthless trash out of the house, they could even earn that eight hundred thousand dollars without any effort. As soon as she thought about that, she felt rather happy.

“Mom, we can’t be like this. It’s me who borrowed that money, and I should really return it.” Mandy said coldly, “Besides, I don’t want to have anything to do with him in the future.”

Seeing Mandy’s cold facial expression, Harvey said helplessly, “Could you please tell me what happened? If it’s related to Ella, I can explain…”

“Fine! I’ll let you explain it now!” Mandy threw the phone in front of Harvey with a bang.

Harvey then picked up the phone in confusion.
