Female Novel
Chapter 290
At the Zimmer Villa.
Harvey York went to the bank specially just to retrieve eight hundred thousand dollars in cash.
When he threw the plastic bag with the cash on the coffee table, Lilian Yates’ eyes becamebloodshot.
At that moment, she did not even bother about the fact that Harvey was right there beside her. Shesoon started to flip through the blue stacks of banknotes. After she ensured that the banknotes werereal, she could not even suppress her smile.
“What about your personal declaration? Didn’t you claim that you will endure the debt all byyourself?” Lilian looked up and said to him condescendingly.
Harvey took out a document which was prepared beforehand. Not only did he sign the document,there was even the signature of a lawyer too. It outlined that the 1.6 million dollars were Harvey’spersonal debt, and it had nothing to do with Mandy Zimmer.
Lilian looked at the document carefully for a short while. She then made a few calls to inquire aboutthat from a few so-called professionals. Only then she kept the personal declaration happily.
With that document, she could be rest assured and enjoy spending the money. She could lead anextravagant life. As to how he was going to pay off the debts, it did not concern her. Next, she justneeded to wait until Mandy figured it out herself, and kicked Harvey out of their family.
“Do you think that I’m rather cruel in doing such a thing?” Mandy said as she just looked at Harvey.Beside them, Mandy did not even take a glance at the few hundred thousand dollars.
Previously, she regretted it slightly after she promised Lilian to do that. It made her feel like sheowed it to Harvey. At the same time, she felt like she should never doubt Harvey. After all, he had
been sacrificing a lot for the Zimmers after so many years. Besides, he did not even complain aboutit.
Maybe he did indeed have other things to deal with, given that he went to meet Ella.
Hearing what Mandy said, Harvey smiled slightly and said, “I feel very happy to see you asking methat. It means that you still care about me.”
“Don’t be acting smug and smiling happily here. Before you give me a clear explanation, I won’tforgive you. I won’t even allow you to return to the room to sleep either.” Mandy said coldly.
The facial expression on Harvey’s face disappeared soon. He did not even know how long he hadto wait just so that he could give her a clear explanation.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
At that moment, Lilian had put away the money in the safe. She looked just like a rather rich butstingy person.
“Harvey, don’t think that you’re quite capable now since you manage to borrow that little bit ofmoney! Let me tell you. It’s impossible that we’ll forgive you given what you had done. You’d betterunderstand it well. When I go and report it to Senior Zimmer, you can get ready to pack up yourthings and leave!”
Lilian had totally forgotten about the fact that Harvey was the one who took the money home. Atthat time, she put her hands at her waist and said condescendingly.
Harvey said nothing. He had long guessed that such a scene would happen. If he had ever beenangry with Lilian, he would have fallen out with them a long time ago. He did not have to wait untilnow.
“Mom, don’t blame me for not reminding you about one thing. Actually, eight hundred thousanddollars will be used up quite quickly.... I know you like one of the Hermes’ famous bags. But they
have rather an exaggerated qualification system. Just look at the bag you want. If you don’t spendaround one hundred fifty thousand dollars on the other items in their shops, you won’t be able to getto buy that…” Harvey reminded her kindly. He knew about Lilian well enough during those threeyears. She always read the fashion magazine, and she yearned for the Hermes bags deeply.However, she could not buy those Hermes bags at her own will given the family background of theZimmers.
“Qualification system? What’s that?” Hearing what Harvery said, Lilian was stunned. “It’s just a bagwhich costs around fifteen thousand dollars. Why do I need to spend around one hundred fiftythousand dollars on the other items? What do you mean by that?”
Harvey smiled faintly and said, “Is it the first time you’re going to buy a Hermes bag? The so-calledqualification system means a price bundling basically. For example, you want to buy a bag whichcosts around fifteen thousand dollars. However, that bag is quite popular, and a lot of people want it.Then at the same time, you need to buy a lot of other items. Only then they’ll sell the bag to you.Just look at the classic bag you like. I heard that you need to spend around one hundred fiftythousand dollars on the additional items in order to get to buy that particular bag.”
Lilian was stupefied. “How could they be like this? Isn’t that like robbing the other people’s money?”
“If you go and steal the money, you won’t even be able to earn much money in such a fast manner.The classic and popular bags from Hermes are always popular items with the customers. If youdon’t buy them, there will be a lot of people who want to buy them. Besides, the price of the amountof additional items you need to spend in order to get a bag increases every year. Maybe when youwait until next year, you won’t be able to buy even a bag with eight hundred thousand dollars.”
Lilian was stunned. In the past, she did not dare to step into the Hermes shop. She just thought thatshe would be able to buy those bags with the price stated. But it never occurred to her that therewould be a lot of rules one needed to adhere to in order to do so.
“Hermes is the most high-end brand from among the luxury items. In the past, they designed theirproducts for the royal family of France. The people without a noble status are not even qualified tobuy their bags. I think that one hundred fifty thousand dollars are not that much for the additionalitems.” Harvey spoke with reason and ease. “Besides, I even heard that you need a maintenancefee for this kind of bag. You need to spend quite a lot of money every year for that… Mom, I thinkthat your eight hundred thousand dollars won’t last long…”
“And there’s even a maintenance fee… How much will it cost for a year?” Lilian was slightlyfrightened.
“Not much. It should be around fifteen thousand dollars…” Harvey smiled and said, “Of course,mom, you’ll be able to buy an ordinary house with eight hundred thousand dollars if you don’t buythe Hermes bag.”
Lilian's facial expression darkened. During the previous night, she even boasted to her best friendsthat she had bought a few classic Hermes bags. Now if one asked her not to buy them, she wouldcertainly suffer tremendously.
Her best friends claimed that they wanted to go to her house and looked at the bags. What shouldshe do now?
