Harvey York's Rise to Power



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?This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

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 later.

"What the... What's with this harbinger of misfortune again?!" Zack Zimmer was on the verge of breaking into swear words.

"Old friend, long time no see." Harvey interjected and stood up smiling before Yvonne had the opportunity to say a word.

Yvonne was slightly stunned but she was quick on the uptake. She regained her senses immediately and faintly laughed. "H-Harvey... Who knew that we would meet again after graduation? What career ranking are you currently at?"

All of the Zimmer family heaved a sigh of relief at these words. Fortunately, they were just old friends.

Else, how would a loser like Harvey know someone of such high ranking as Secretary Xavier?

Zack ran over in nervousness. When he heard their conversation, he started insulting Harvey, " Secretary Xavier, why would you talk to a loser like him? Don't you know? He's not only well-known in the Zimmer family, he's also famous in the whole of Niumhi! He's the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family. He only has one hundred as his daily pocket money! Secretary Xavier, don't get too close to him or else, his misfortune might rub off on you!"

Yvonne shuddered at his words and looked at Harvey in disbelief. She knew that Harvey stayed in hiding for three years after leaving the York family. Yet, she never imagined that he was enduring such disgrace over these three years. It was no wonder when he returned, he did so with towering force!

Zack did not wait for Yvonne to reply as he continued, "These kinds of people are losers. Our family is preparing to kick him out for good. He will never be able to step into our circle for the next eighteen generations!"

"Harvey! Scram already! Are you planning to just be an eyesore here?"

Harvey was too lazy to bother about Zack. He just smiled and said, "Yvonne, you used to be an indifferent goddess back when we were studying. When did you start associating yourself with these untrustworthy people?"

"Loser, who are you calling untrustworthy?!" Zack bellowed.

"You know that yourself." Harvey faintly replied.

He then ignored Yvonne and continued to sit down and eat his meal. He saw that Yvonne's face was still filled with nervousness. Then, he casually said, " Since you're here and have been invited for dinner, why not just have the meal? It would be a waste if you don't eat."

Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Harvey' s words. She knew that the CEO was not angry and that he had allowed her to continue having the dinner.

"Are you a reincarnation of a hungry ghost? Miss

Xavier, come along this way. Let's not be bothered by this loathsome piece of trash!" Zack hurled another insult before gesturing with his hand a sign of welcome. After tonight was over, he must kick

Harvey out of the Zimmer family's front door. He was not only useless; he only knew how to make things worse.

While Zack was hurling insults, he did not notice that Yvonne's face turned paler by a few shades. Wendy's face also turned paler than death. They really did not come to be guests at the Zimmer family today. The problem was that the situation had escalated to this stage that they found themselves unable to dismount from the tiger that they were riding on.

Senior Zimmer's face had changed through a series of emotions when he saw Yvonne walking back. He was afraid that things might take a bad turn, so he suddenly stood up and clapped lightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Zimmer family welcomes you even if you have invited yourselves over today. After all, we do have something major to announce. Since all of you are here, why don't you become our witnesses?"

"Oh? I wonder what good news this is?"

"Could it be that Senior Zimmer has found his second love?"

The family heads present were all skeptics. Although there were beautiful women in the scene, they had no intention to mask their real feelings and ended up laughing out loud instead. Senior Zimmer blinked at them. "Don't laugh at an old man like me now. Before that, I would like everyone to identify something for me..." Senior Zimmer clapped his hands as he said this.

Soon, the bodyguards of the Zimmer family each brought in a big box into the hall before retreating.

These boxes were holding items of luxurious brands of high quality. They were all gorgeously eye -catching while looking expensive.
