Chapter 5008
Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched. If Mandy Zimmer were to be taken out and robbed of her position, she would end up horribly.
“This was our fault, Elder Reuben!” exclaimed Lilian with a pampering look.
“We’ll do whatever you say!
“We won’t complain! We won’t hold a grudge either!
“Come! You should slap me first to console yourself!”
“You must be tired after coming all the way here! You should have some rest! I’ll arrange a meal for you immediately!”
added Simon Zimmer.
“You’ll definitely be satisfied!”
Simon did not mention anything about his daughters kneeling.
Xynthia was a little dissatisfied but kept her mouth shut after Lilian fiercely glared at her.
Reuben Jean shifted his gaze towards Harvey York’s casual expression with a hint of gloom.
“Aren’t you the live-in son-in-law?
“What’s the matter with you? Why are you just standing there?
“You take everything from the family, yet you wouldn’t even kneel to greet Elder Reuben?!”
Elodie Jean saved no breath to ridicule Harvey after getting the chance.
Then, she walked beside Reuben before whispering into his ear.
“He’s the one who took advantage of me, Elder Reuben!
“His power in Golden Sands is immense!
“My mother and I had to be questioned because of him!
“If the family didn’t bail me out after realizing you were coming...
“We would’ve been locked up for at least a decade!”
Naturally, Elodie hid the truth to fan the flames and shift the blame.
Reuben’s face darkened before he sized up Harvey.
“You’re Harvey York?” he asked coldly.
“Master York of the Fortune Hall?
“I’ve heard of you!
“You’ve garnered quite a lot of connections using schemes and trickery!
“But you are quite capable!
“Then again, you better show that off in front of us now!
“You’ll have to pay a dear price if you decide to cause the ninth branch any trouble with this. Do you understand me?”
Harvey would have no way out if Reuben targeted him.
With Reuben’s status, he could invalidate everything Harvey worked for in the city.
“What kind of price would I have to pay?” Harvey asked after glancing at Reuben.
Simon and the others froze.
Nobody thought that Harvey would dare challenge Reuben despite his identity.
Even Mandy had to give in!
Simon and Lilian showed bitter expressions after hearing those words.
‘Why would he drag us down with him if he really wants to die?! He should just die by himself!’
Mandy was confused but did not say a word since she knew Harvey was speaking on Xynthia’s behalf.
Xynthia, on the other hand, was thrilled. She knew that Harvey would stand up for her from the beginning.
