Zack appeared like he had seen through the lie. “That’s right! It must be so. There are no other possibilities. If not, how could we explain the fact that their contract looks like a real one? But they’re so stupid. It didn’t occur to them that their lies would be exposed so soon…”
“Yes! That might be the case here. Senior Zimmer, call them home, and we’ll get to the bottom of it then.”
“That’s true! We’ve known about it for a long time now that the live-in son-in-law is just a useless man. Unexpectedly, he went and became a thief. Besides, how could Mandy bring home a fake contract? It’s a great humiliation for the Zimmers!”
The people from the Zimmers echoed what the others said loudly. ‘Mandy went too far. It’s an investment with an amount of fifty million dollars. A lot of us can gain many benefits and enjoy a luxurious life because of that. How bold of her to take a fake contract and fool us with that! She deserves to be punished severely!’
Senior Zimmer had no facial expression at that moment. He took out the void contract and took a few glances at it. He then said coldly, “Ask Lilian to call them home. If they didn’t give us a logical explanation today, we’d ask them to get the hell out of the Zimmers.”
A lot of the Zimmers looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.
That was a good thing. Without Mandy in their family, they would be able to get a larger share of properties in the future. They wanted so badly for Mandy and her family to be disowned from the family.
***
At York Enterprise.
Harvey had almost read through the documents in the company during those two days. York Enterprise was an investment company at first. But his cousin—Belle had made a lot of useless investments in the past, and she had made the company suffer a significant loss. She did not even manage the company well, and the profit they gained during the previous year was less than fifteen million dollars.
A profit like that was considered somewhat less for a company that was worth 1.5 billion dollars. Luckily, the minute Harvey was appointed as the president, he canceled some of the contracts which were not carried out yet. The company was then able to take a break from suffering significant losses. Besides, they needed to be more careful with any investments in the future.
Harvey had roughly read through all of the investment projects before. In fact, except for the Zimmers’s project of the shopping center, the only other project that was quite valuable was the automotive city’s project.
Harvey read the information. He remembered that his electric bike was damaged, and it was quite troublesome if he always asked Yvonne to fetch him. He should have a car now.
He could go and buy a car that day and at the same time be able to go and investigate whether the automotive city had any investment value.
After he asked Yvonne to call the automotive city, he did not ask her to send him there. However, he rode on his electric bike and went there directly.
