Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 104

He was at the pinnacle of his life. He could marry any woman he so wishes and he had a good fortune too. Yet, this loser live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, had the audacity to laugh at him? Was he not being too arrogant?

At that instant, everyone turned to look at Harvey. Many of them had some faint expectation for him to have the situation mixed up. They wanted to keep the hope alive.

“I’m so sorry, I did not hold myself back,” Harvey covered his mouth while saying. “Some people have very good imagination. Zack Zimmer, I think you better not try to woo her. Why don’t you try and become the live-in son-in-law of the Xavier family? See if she wants you to be that for her!”

“Y-You’re only a live-in son-in-law, how dare you insult me!” Zack’s expression drastically changed. Although he did have the desire to be a kept man, a thought was just a thought. His intentions were exposed, and his ego could not take it anymore. He could not resist bellowing out at him.

Indeed, Senior Zimmer understood this as well. For one to rely on a woman to obtain the investment was no difference to wanting to be a kept man. However, everyone in the Zimmer family wanted to keep their own pride. They felt that they belonged to the upper-class society. Hence, this was not considered wanting to be a kept man, it was just trying to have a stronger bond with another person. When Harvey spelled out the reality and exposed his intentions, Zack’s dignity was left hanging by a thread. If word of this gets out, he would have no place in the circle of rich heirs.

“Harvey, don’t simply say things like that.” Mandy frowned slightly. She could not stand to remind him. Why would this j*rk not know the appropriate crowd to say certain things? There are some words that should not be said now.

Harvey still had the guts to trigger Zack. He might even be fanning the flame of Senior Zimmer.

Zack laughed coldly and said, “What does a live-in son-in-law like you understand? You think that everyone wants to be a kept man like you? Did you not see how much Yvonne admires me? This is called true love. What do you understand?”

Harvey initially planned to not say more. However, when he heard the words ‘true love’, he could not contain himself from chuckling out loud once more.

Lilian Yates’ expression darkened immediately and she looked toward Senior Zimmer’s face twisted with irked frowns. She gritted her teeth and said, “Harvey! If you make another joke, you will leave this house tonight!”

Harvey was almost rendered speechless. “Mom, I was not joking around. I just feel that this whole incident is rather awkward. Zack doesn’t even have Yvonne’s private number. How can you call this true love? If word of this gets out, the Zimmer family will become the laughing stock of Niumhi.”
