Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 204

204 /355

That night, Harvey York returned home early.

Mandy Zimmer was filled with much resentment and anger when she saw Harvey who appeared indifferent and nonchalant. After all, he came home in the middle of the night the previous day. Hence, Mandy glared at him sternly and turned to enter her bedroom.

"Mom, what's wrong this time around?" Harvey was puzzled. 'I didn't annoy Mandy.’

"Do you know that you still need to care for your wife? Tell me. Where have you been these two nights? You neither washed the clothes nor cleaned up the bathrooms. You didn't even cook dinner. What do you want me to eat then?" At that moment, Lilian Yates was watching TV in the living room. At that moment, she glared at Harvey sternly when she heard that.

Since Harvey spent fifteen dollars to help Mandy retrieve the investment funds from York Enterprise, Lilian was slightly nicer to him. But it was not so much better.

"I'm busy with work." Harvey explained.

"How busy could you be? Don’t think that you deserve my daughter now since you drive a pathetic secondhand car and become someone else’s driver. Let me tell you. If it wasn't for the fact that my daughter pleaded for mercy from me, I would've kicked you out

long ago!” Lilian said coldly. "But I don’t really understand it. What has gotten into my daughter recently? How could she think that there's still some hope in you? For me, you're just a hopeless b*stard!"

Harvey was speechless. When did a Porchse become a pathetic second-hand car? But he still nodded immediately, "Mom, what happened exactly? Could you please tell me about it?"

"What's the use of telling you that? Can you resolve that?" Lilian scolded him. But she still continued, "The commercial centre project which Mandy is in charge o f started yesterday. Do you know about that?"

"Yes, I'm aware of that."

"What the f*ck do you know? Do you know that since the previous night, there were a lot of people who went there to create mess ceaselessly. Not only did they ruin the construction materials, they beat up the workers there and set the place on fire too. Mandy’s having a hard time because of that. She made use of a lot of connections, but still she failed to investigate the truth behind it." Talking about that, Lilian sighed sadly. "Why do I have such a worthless piece of trash a s my son-in-law? Usually, this kind of thing is resolved by men. How could we just rely on my daughter..." She sighed. 1

Lilian did not know what happened after that in the Zimmers meeting. At that moment, she wanted so badly to strangle Harvey to death. In her opinion, if Harvey was as capable as the others' husband, Mandy did not have to tackle those things in person.

"Did somebody do something to the commercial centre project? That's a project which is funded by York Enterprise. How bold they are!" Harvey looked solemn. Only gangsters would do such a thing. But now he had influence and power over almost half of the gangsters in Niumhi. If they did not get his approval, who would stand against the Zimmers?

"Why not? York Enterprise invests in a lot of properties. Besides, if the commercial centre is not built in the allocated time, the Zimmers have to compensate for that. Why would the Yorks care for that?" Lilian looked at him as if she was looking at some ignorant people.
