Not only was Elodie Jean planning to suppress Mandy Zimmer and take her position…

She also wanted to make an example out of Mandy, ensuring her reign of the ninth branch and preventing anyone else from going against her.

Slap!

Harvey York immediately swung the back of his palm across Elodie’s face after stepping forward.

“Aaagh!

Elodie screamed in pain when she was slammed into the ground. She could not even crawl back up after a long while.

“You hit me?!

A few security guards stepped forward with fierce expressions, ready to take Harvey away.

“You can’t be doing that right now, Harvey! Get out of here! I’ll handle this!” exclaimed Mandy.

Harvey blew on his cup of tea.

“I do want you to leave, but not when you’re discredited.

“I want you to make the Jean family regret when you do.

“Besides, we’re not remarried yet…

“But it’ll be easie

Harvey York casually sat down on an open chair with a cold look on his face.

She thought Harvey set his pride aside to get the contract by treating Brayan Foster’s curse.

“Impossible!

“The Foster family belongs to the top ten families!
