Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 35

At that moment, Senior Zimmer, who was seated on the seat of honor, had finished reading the contract. He even took out the magnifying glass and looked closely at the seal. After a short while, he said, “Don’t argue anymore. This contract is real indeed. However, what Zack said is right. This contract seems not to be drafted up at the last minute. It seems like it was drafted up yesterday.”

“Certainly, Mandy has her own credits since she went there in the first place. But Zack was willing to endure the humiliation for Zimmers yesterday. His contribution is much more significant.”

Hearing that, Zack took a glance at Mandy arrogantly. He then bowed toward Senior Zimmer and said, “Grandpa, as one of the Zimmers, I’ll definitely be quite willing to undergo various ordeals for the Zimmers. So what if I’m being humiliated? If I need to be beaten up just so that the Zimmers could earn money, I’m more than willing to do so!”

“Grandpa, I think that this new CEO is aware of the value of Zimmers’s piece of commercial land, so he gave us such a tremendous amount of funds. We should sign the contract as soon as possible and send it to them tomorrow as a sign of our sincerity.

“I’m willing to take up the task. I’ll definitely send the contract back to the CEO of York Enterprise tomorrow, safe and sound. I’ll even invite him over to come and visit us!”

Zack appeared like he would be able to achieve that. Now that they had the contract, it was more than enough to prove that the new CEO valued the Zimmers highly. Hence, he was able to do a trivial thing like that.

Besides, if he were the one who sent the contract to York Enterprise, he would be the project manager then. As for Mandy, who would ever remember her credits?

“Good! You’re my excellent grandson!” Senior Zimmer nodded slightly, and he appeared to be approved of Zack. “Zack, so we’ll send you to go to York Enterprise tomorrow then.”

Mandy looked disappointed. She was clearly the one who brought the contract home, but now the credits belonged to Zack solely.

York Enterprise had signed and sealed the contract. Certainly, Zack would be successful if he went there the next day. Then, who would ever remember Mandy’s contribution?

Although Mandy was annoyed inwardly, she bit her lips and refused to speak at that moment. It was because what Senior Zimmer said was always as good as his bond. In that instant, it would be useless no matter what Mandy said.

At York Enterprise.

Harvey read through the few documents in his hands casually. He then rubbed his forehead to relax for a short while.

The incident that day was undoubtedly arranged by him. At first, he did not want to bother about the Zimmers. But Mandy had gone there, and he became soft-hearted. He would give her a hand since they had been a married couple for three years now, and he had indeed fallen in love with her.

At that moment, his old phone started ringing all of a sudden. The minute he answered the call, he heard Lilian shouting at him from the other end of the phone, “Harvey! How bold of you to stay out there instead of coming home?! That’s fine! If you’re reluctant to stay in the Zimmers, don’t come back here anymore in the future!”

After hanging up the phone, his sister-in-law—Xynthia, called him too. “Harvey, it’s because of a good-for-nothing like you. My sister is being bullied today. How daring of you not to come home. You’re such a useless person!”

After those two calls, Harvey frowned slightly. He still did not know what had happened.

At that moment, he heard a knock on the door. His secretary—Yvonne, entered the office.

“Mr. York, you asked me to go and withdraw eight hundred thousand dollars from the bank. I’ve got them now. Besides, I’ve converted part of the gold shares into dollars as per your request.” Yvonne put the Amex Black Card in front of Harvey respectfully. Her CEO was indeed very wealthy. When she went to carry out her tasks, she was shocked out of her wits by the amount of money in that bank account.

“I haven’t bought a car yet. Give me a ride home,” said Harvey. At first, he decided to return to the Zimmers again. Since he had gotten the money, he would send it to Mandy then. He could give her a hand again.

***

At the Zimmers.

Mandy was deeply upset. It was clearly her contribution, but all of her credits had been snatched away by Zack.

Besides, her company was still in need of eight hundred thousand dollars. She failed to get that from Don. Now, she did not know where she could gain that amount of funds in such a short time. She was indeed quite flustered.

Seeing that her sister was in a bad mood, Xynthia quickly called over her sister’s best friends—Cecilia and Angel. As expected, her sister’s mood became slightly better after the three of them got together.

“By the way, Mandy. My sports shoes are dirty. Where is that useless person in your home? Ask that person to come and wash them for me.” Angel sat on the sofa and played with her phone. She swung her fair and beautiful little legs while she said that.

Certainly, Mandy knew who she was referring to. At that moment, she smiled and said. “That person hasn't come home since yesterday. I don’t even know where the hell he went.”

“How could it be?” Cecilia put down her phone. “I heard what happened yesterday too. That good-for-nothing Harvey has such a small significance. How could he lose his temper and not come home? Let me tell you. You’d better divorce a husband like that as soon as possible., since you’ve never really been with each other as husband and wife, and everyone knows about this.”

As they were talking, they heard someone opening the door. Then, they saw Harvey entering the house. He was drenched, and he was holding a big black plastic bag in his hand.
