Female Novel
Chapter 234
After a brief pause, Mandy took a deep breath. “Miss Xavier, I understand the conditions youmentioned, but please trust me. We Zimmers definitely didn’t do any of those things on purpose.This shopping centre project is incredibly important for us.”
Momentary silence followed. Yvonne broke into a sudden smile. “If anyone else came andrequested this, I’d definitely have security throw that person out by now.”
“But before I came, the CEO specially told me that he likes ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak’painting very much. Because of that, he agreed to do you another favor. We hope that the Zimmerswill learn their lesson and not create any more problems for this project again.
“If another similar incident occurs again in the future, I’m afraid that the CEO will not entertain yourrequests anymore.”
‘Is that it? Surprisingly, the CEO’s actually giving us a favor.’
Previously, Harvey only mentioned that casually. Although Mandy trusted him, she was not thatconfident herself. It never occurred to her that York Enterprise would actually let go of this incidentsimply because of the ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak’ painting.
“Miss Xavier, you’re not pulling my leg, are you?” Mandy asked.
“Of course not. This is the CEO’s orders. I dare not speak any nonsense. Afterwards, I’ll havesomeone retract that legal letter. You can be at ease now and deal with the shopping centre project,Mrs Zimmer.” Yvonne flashed Mandy a faint smile. “Our company is eager to see the day theshopping centre is established.”
Mandy found herself growing dizzy. The whole situation didn’t feel real. This was a major issue thatrequired a compensation of four hundred and fifty million dollars, yet everything was resolved just
like that? How could it be this simple?
“Miss Xavier, is ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak’ painting that amazing? Is it worth such a bigfavor?” Mandy asked weakly.
“Of course…” Yvonne smiled again. “It’s a legendary painting renowned among our kind. The CEOsaid that being able to protect a national treasure from being lost to foreign countries is indeed astroke of luck. Compared to that, this amount of money is trivial.”
Mandy then discussed a few details with Yvonne, including the next payment date. When that wasdone, Mandy left York Enterprise. Even as she got into her car, she still felt that everything wasunreal.
Nighttime, at the Zimmers.
When Mandy opened the door and entered her home, Harvey was mopping the floor. Noticing her,Harvey looked up and said, “How did it go? Is everything solved?”
“Yes, it’s all solved now.” Mandy leaned against the door and looked at Harvey suspiciously.“Harvey, tell me. How do you know York Enterprise would do us this favour? Is it just because ofthat ‘The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak’ painting?”
“I made a guess.” Harvey smiled. “York Enterprise is a powerful and dominant company. If theyreally wanted to find fault with the Zimmers, they would’ve taken direct action. Why else would theyissue a legal letter?”
“They probably did it as a warning. So, I guessed that they won’t make it difficult for you! How aboutit? Did I make the right guess? Do I get any kind of reward?”
Harvey appeared smug. He even looked Mandy up and down deliberately. That kind of look wasindeed something.
Mandy’s beautiful face flushed slightly at his aggressive stare. She glared at Harvey sternly andsneered, “Luckily, you made the right guess. We’d be ruined if anything happened!”
“Didn’t I guess correctly?” Harvey continued. “How about my reward?”
“Tonight… We’ll talk about it again…” Mandy rushed upstairs. Her voice was extremely soft.
“What?” Harvey was stupefied. ‘Did I hear that right? Is the much anticipated moment finally comingto me?’
Harvey went to take a bath at the first possible moment, and then entered the bedroom.
Mandy had just finished her bath. She was drying her hair as she spoke. “By the way, I received acall just now. My university classmates and I are going to have a gathering. Why don’t you comewith me?”
“What?” Harvey was shocked. “You want to bring me along?”
They had been married for three years. Every year Mandy would attend the gathering with herclassmates, but he never had the chance to go with her.
Are pigs flying now? It was unexpected, but she actually asked him to attend the gathering with her.
“Why? Don’t you want to go? If you don’t, then forget it.” Mandy said lightly.
“Go! I’m definitely going! How could I not go? My dear wife has such an order for me. Don’t mentionthe gathering,” Harvey patted his chest. “Even if it’s an extremely difficult and dangerous task, aslong as my dear wife will be happy, I’ll do it.”
He sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly, “Why don’t we switch off the lights now?”
Mandy was puzzled. “Why do we need to switch off the lights?”
“Didn’t you ask me to come? I thought that you’re ready to…”
“You…” Mandy blushed deeply. ‘I wanted to talk about the gathering with him. What exactly was hethinking all this time?’
“Get out!”
Bang!
Harvey touched his nose slightly and smiled bitterly. It seemed like he still had a long way to go...
The next day, at Zimmer Enterprise.
Zack sat in his office for a long time, a leisurely expression on his face.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
The previous night, he had inquired about the incident from various people. The new CEO of YorkEnterprise had been utterly furious about the whole thing. There were even rumors that theZimmers would be completely screwed this time around.
That had made Zack quite ecstatic. Although he was slightly afraid for the future of the Zimmers, hewouldn’t let Mandy have her way even if it meant burdening the entire family. He was reluctant tosee her succeed.
