Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 4

“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!

“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!”

“What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?”

Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’

Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the b*stard want to do?’

Thinking about that, Don smiled coldly all of a sudden. He seemed to be so sure of himself. “Mandy, aren’t you in need of five million dollars for your company’s funds? I could help you with that.”

“What?” Mandy was stunned.

Don said calmly, “Mandy, I know that your company is in need of five million dollars. Fortunately, I have that kind of amount in my hand, and it could be used as the funds for investment. If you have a meal with me this afternoon, it’ll be yours.”

“Are you serious?” Mandy let go of Harvey’s hand unconsciously. Her company did need that amount of money.

“I always keep my promises.” Don appeared quite confident.

“Sure.” After considering it for a while, she gave her word at last. If she did not gain such funds, her company would most probably go into bankruptcy.

“Let’s go, Mandy. We could discuss the project and where we’re going to have our lunch later…” said Don politely.

“Dear! You can’t go with him!” Before Mandy could speak, Harvey stared at Don angrily. His facial expression worsened. “Don, I’m warning you. You better stay away from my wife!”

Don sneered. “How can a useless son-in-law decide about this? Why? Are you afraid that she might cheat on you?” Don smiled faintly at that moment.

“You’re just a good-for-nothing. Do you think that you can change your fate?”

“I…” Harvey’s facial expression changed, and he wanted to say more.

But at that moment, Mandy walked out of the elevator and said coldly, “Harvey, don’t be unreasonable.”

“Am I being unreasonable?” Harvey was stunned.

“Do you know how important this investment is to me?” Mandy looked at Harvey in disappointment. ‘If he were more capable, I wouldn’t have to be like this.’

She sighed and followed Don out of the lobby of the company. She then got into the BMW.

“Dear!” Seeing that Mandy had gotten into Don’s car, he rushed after her quickly. He then said, “Dear, don’t go with him! I have the money. I’ll give you five million dollars!”

“Harvey, why don’t you go and look for a job? Don’t be daydreaming here.” Mandy sighed.
