Harvey York's Rise to Power

Lilian considered it for a short while, and she realized that it was quite logical. If that were indeed the reason that the Zimmers went bankrupt, then she would not be leading an enjoyable life.

“Okay,” After thinking about that for a while, Lilian nodded and agreed to that.

“No way!” At last, Harvey who had stood aside spoke again.

At that moment, everyone from the Zimmers stared angrily at Harvey, including Lilian.

The Zimmers had discussed it well. ‘Why is this live-in son-in-law coming to create a mess again? Don’t you have a little self-awareness?’

Lilian said coldly, “Harvey, get lost! This is not a place for you to raise your opinion!”

“Mom, I’m speaking on Mandy’s behalf! I want to right the wrong which was placed upon her! At first, it was she who signed the contract York Enterprise. But the Zimmers didn’t care about that at all, and they changed the person-in-charge directly. Now the entire cooperation is ruined, and the Zimmers want Mandy to go and resolve it in person. What is that supposed to mean?”

Harvey said coldly, “Don’t you need to give her an explanation? Don’t tell me that when Mandy goes and gets the investment again, you’ll change the person-in-charge again. Is that so? Then who is Mandy to you? Is she a little girl who runs errands for you?”

“Harvey, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you doubt Grandpa!” Zack finally got his chance, and scolded Harvey loudly and angrily. But in fact, Zack did have that intention. If Mandy did retrieve the investment, he would be the person-in-charge again since Senior Zimmer adored him the most.

At that moment, Lilian was having something on her mind. In fact, she never thought of that possibility just now.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Harvey, you’ve no right to speak here. You’d better get lost now. If not, don’t blame us for being rude to you!” Sean said sternly. He could almost guess at the reason Harvey did so now. At that moment, he was very frightened.

Harvey did not want to bother about them. He just fixed his eyes at Senior Zimmer and said, “Senior Zimmer, you must be certain on one thing. Look at the current situation, is it true that no one has the slight possibility who could overturn the situation except Mandy?”

Senior Zimmer took a deep breath. He then said, “That’s true. So what about that? Mandy is one of the Zimmers. She represents the interests of the Zimmers too. Besides, everything she has or uses belongs to the Zimmers. You’re the same even if you’re a live-in son-in-law. Everything you have or use belongs to the Zimmers. At a moment like this, so what if she takes action on behalf of the Zimmers?”

“That’s certainly not a problem if she takes action on behalf of the Zimmers. But you need to understand that everyone needs a logical reason if they are asked to do something!” Harvey said calmly. “What’s the use of it if an ordinary person from the Zimmers goes to York Enterprise to negotiate that? If the chairman of the Zimmers goes there in person to apologize to them properly, maybe York Enterprise will think that you’re quite sincere.”

“You…” Senior Zimmer was shocked. How could Harvey be so bold and say something like that? How could he ask for the position as chairman of the Zimmers? How shameless and undaunting!

“Of course. If Senior Zimmer thinks that the position is too high, a CEO will do too. After all, one gets to represent the Zimmers.” Harvey smiled happily.

“Stop daydreaming!” Sean, who was standing at the side, scolded angrily. Sean was the CEO of the Zimmers, and it seemed like Harvey had his eye on Sean’s position now.

“Shut up!” Senior Zimmer took a deep breath. He then looked at Lilian and said, “Lilian, I’m sure that this good-for-nothing couldn’t say things like these. Is this your idea?”

At first, Lilian wanted to oppose that. But when she thought about the post as the CEO of the Zimmers, she forced a smile and said, “Senior Zimmer, I’m just considering the welfare of the Zimmers.”

“If you want Mandy to have that post, just ask her to go and retrieve the investment. If she’s able to do that, she’ll be our CEO in the future.” Senior Zimmer took a deep breath and made his decision swiftly without any room for change.

“Thank you, Senior Zimmer!” Standing at the side, Harvey smiled happily and said.

…

At the living room of Mandy’s house.

Lilian sized up Harvey. After a short while, she said coldly, “Tell me. Who asked you to say something like that in front of Senior Zimmer just now?”

Mandy also looked at her husband suspiciously beside them. From what she remembered, it was the first time that he had acted in such a strong and firm manner.

“Mom, I just think that it’s not easy for Mandy to get the investment. But her credits and contributions were snatched away by Zack. I think it’s unfair to us, so I acted on her behalf. Is there a problem?” Harvey smiled and said.

Lilian frowned and said, “If we want to fight for things, we can do that by ourselves. How could a live-in son-in-law like you have the right to speak up? The others might think that I’m not strict with you, and I don’t discipline you well. I’m warning you. Don’t do it anymore in the future. If not, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Harvey smiled faintly, but he did not care about that. He was used to that during these three years.

However, Mandy said softly, “Mom, Harvey did a right thing this time around. If we go to York Enterprise to retrieve the investment for no good reason, and if Zack claims credit for our efforts, we’ll certainly be extremely angry.

“Now, I’ll be appointed as the CEO of the Zimmers as long as I retrieve the investment. It’s not bad this way.”

Mandy was not stupid. She understood that if she did not grab onto that chance to gain some right to speak up in the Zimmers, their family might really be kicked out of the Zimmers in the future.

Lilian was speechless. After a short while, she sighed and said, “If you think that it’s fine, I won’t say anything more. Mandy, your dad is doing business abroad. He won’t be home for a period of time. We need to act cautiously with the Zimmers.”

The same thing always happened in a large family. If one was not being careful, they might be ruined or hurt by their own family members.
