Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 5

“Sir, I’ll report to the chief immediately. You…”

“Don’t try to bargain with me. Otherwise, I’ll ruin the entire York Enterprise!”

Before the person at the other end of the phone could speak, Harvey hung up the phone immediately.

...

In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich.

At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now.

Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…”

“Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush. Just go straight to the point. Tell me, how do you want me to help the Yorks? How do you want me to be in control of the entire situation?” Harvey asked calmly, and he did not even look at Yonathan.

Yonathan sneered. “Harv, you’re certainly a straightforward person. Then, I’ll be frank with you…” At that moment, Yonathan appeared quite helpless. He was an influential and powerful person in Niumhi. He could provide a great impact on the entire city just by doing a mere action. But now he had no choice but to be humble and submissive before Harvey, given that he had a request to make.

“Our family followed the trend and invested the money in the stock market of the oil futures. Consequently, we suffered a great loss. Now our family’s funding is…”

“Cut to the chase! How much do you need?”

“Not much, just around a billion dollars…”

‘F*ck!’ Harvey’s eyes twitched slightly. 'A billion dollars? Why don’t you go and rob a bank?'

“Regarding that, Chief York, I still have some other business to deal with. I’ll leave first…” Harvey stood up immediately and was about to leave.

“Harv!” Yonathan became quite anxious at that moment. He said immediately, “We do indeed need this much money. If we don’t have it, our funding will be cut, and our large enterprise will be ruined. Besides, I can fulfill your requests!”

Harvey looked deep into Yonathan’s eyes and said rather helplessly, “I saw your sincerity. But the problem is where do I get such a great amount of money?”

“Harv, do you really want to see our family be ruined entirely? You have around a trillion dollars in your offshore account. You can help save the Yorks just by giving us a tiny bit of that!” Yonathan became so nervous that his eyes became bloodshot. “Don’t forget where you came from!”

At first, Harvey was smiling. When he heard that, his facial expression worsened. “Uncle, from what I remembered, the entire York family believed that I couldn’t be the heir of the Yorks at that time.

“There are around a few hundreds of us in the Yorks. You interrogated and condemned me vehemently. I was once a great contributor to the family, but I was kicked out like a bad egg. Now you’re asking me to remember where I came from. Don’t you think it’s rather ridiculous?

“Why don’t you think about how much I earned for the family during all those years, working extremely hard? You enjoyed the money and profits I earned and refused to approve of me at the end.”

“I’ve become a son-in-law for the other family for the past few years. I led a terribly miserable life. You don’t even come to visit or lend me a helping hand.

“If you’re not in a great crisis, would you still remember about the previous heir now?” Harvey said every word distinctly.

Yonathan’s eyes twitched slightly. He said immediately, “Harv, we were wrong. Let us apologize to you. We’ll ask for your forgiveness sincerely… But we need you to help us to resolve this crisis first. I can make the decision here. From now onward, you’re the CEO of York Enterprise!”
