"Grandpa...” Mandy Zimmer anxiously looked at Senior Zimmer.
Senior Zimmer smiled and said, "Mandy, I know that I've wronged you today. However, this contract that you've brought back does not bring any benefits at all t o the Zimmer family. Of course, I will not forget your contribution to this. How about this? Once everything i s in place and we've gotten our profits, I will give you a bit more than promised?”
Senior Zimmer kept mum about the CEO position. He had tossed the matter out of the window without revisiting it anymore.
He had never thought highly of his granddaughters. H e always thought that women were money-consuming goods sooner or later. It did not help that Mandy's husband was a worthless live-in son-in-law.
He used to have some respect for her solely because Mandy managed to secure the contract from York Enterprise. Since Zack Zimmer was now more capable than her, he naturally casted Mandy aside.
Mandy sat down in silence. She could not say another word. Senior Zimmer's words were final. If she continued to argue with him, it would only wreak more distaste toward her. However, Mandy felt restless in the recesses of her heart.
Harvey York stretched out his hand from the side and held onto her right hand. He smiled at her and shook his head, then said in a lowered voice. "Don't you worry. Do you really think Zack would be able to get the contract with that kind of attitude?”
Although Harvey's voice was not loud, many around them heard him speak. Everyone turned to look at them.
Zack was about to burst with rage but he suddenly calmed down. He glared at Harvey and said, "Hey loser, do you dare to make a bet with me? If I’m able to get this contract, you and your wife will be disowned from the Zimmer family. Both of you will never be allowed to step into this house ever again."
"Harvey!" Mandy tried to stop him from the side.
"The bet's on!" Harvey did not bother to spare a glance at Zack. "However, what will you do if your negotiation is not successful? Are you going to leave the Zimmer family? I'm afraid that by that time, no one would even want you as a live-in son-in-law!"
"Y-You!" Zack pointed straight at Harvey. "You just wait and see. After tonight, you will not be able to take even one step through the doors of the Zimmer family's house! Hmph!" 1
"That’s enough. Stop arguing." Senior Zimmer still had some composure. "Let’s all go down and prepare ourselves for tonight. We need to entertain our VIPs well. Everyone is to accompany them. Do you understand?" "Yes sir!" The crowd of the Zimmer family nodded in unison. Rumor has it that the main guest for tonight, Manager Wendy Sorrell, was not only young and enchanting, she was also quite influential in York Enterprise. If they could win her over and go along with whatever she says, they were sure to stand a chance to secure the contract.
