Chapter 975

“Yvonne, I already told you. Harvey’s ambition is terrifyingly big. “A man like this will never be subdued under another. “If you choose him, you’ll live a life full of pain and suffering.” Sheldon Xavier let out a sigh. He admired Harvey York because of his true identity. Even though the Xaviers from Wolsing did not look up to his status as Prince, they would try their best to avoid conflict with the man if his other identity was revealed. But Sheldon did not once hope that his own granddaughter is involved with Harvey. “Listen to your grandfather. You should be picking Chris Leo. Or maybe you looked up to another person, even if it’s a beggar. If you say the word, I can make him into a man.” “I’ll allow anyone but him!” Yvonne then coldly replied, “Grandfather, don’t forget our promise before. Are you saying all these things to try to break the promise now?” After seeing Yvonne’s stubborn look, Sheldon then let out another sigh. “Right, the fifteen-day promise isn’t far away from now. I’d like to see if you could actually bring him home.” “If you can, I’ll give in!” *** In the presidential suite of Buckwood Hotel. Grandma Xavier was reciting a prayer while sitting cross-legged on a futon. Jesse Xavier was standing with his arms folded, not far from her. The smile on his face never faded. Around half an hour later, Grandma Xavier then opened her eyes and slowly asked, “How are things?” Jesse replied, “I’ve already conveyed your message. “But Harvey York is a prideful and arrogant man. He would never agree to the first condition. “But the second one, I’m not so sure…” Grandma Xavier calmly asked, “What’s not to get?” Jesse Xavier replied quietly, “There are ten top-rated families in Country H. The Xaviers are in tenth place. The family’s authority could move up if the Leos were to arrange a marriage with us. Why would you want Harvey to face off against the Leos in Hong Kong?” Grandma Xavier calmly said, “There was a time when our family was the top family out of all the top-rated families. Do you not understand why we’re at the bottom of the barrel nowadays?” Jesse’s eyes showed utter coldness. “It’s because the other families are fearing our rise.” Grandma Xavier replied calmly, “It’s good that you know. “Even though the Leos from Hong Kong isn’t on the list of the top-rated families, they’re still the top family in Hong Kong. Their wealth could rival a country. “Once a family like this arranges a marriage with us, do you think that the top three families would just sit there and watch?” Jesse’s expressions changed. The Xaviers had been slightly inferior in terms of wealth and power. Resisting the eighth and ninth top families together had caused quite a few problems to deal with. If any one of the top three families were to deal with the Xaviers, there would be a big chance that the Xaviers would drop out of the list immediately. “That’s why we’re sending a message by using Harvey to deal with the Leos. We’re saying that we have no intention of fighting against the other nine families for the top spot, and we’re willing to be at the bottom of the barrel?” Jesse’s face had gotten slightly worse. Grandma Xavier counted the beads in her hand and calmly replied, “Not bad, this is a test for Harvey as well. “Even if he has a bit of talent if he were to force Chris Leo away, talent like this isn’t enough to enter our family. “If he were to succeed this time, what’s wrong with me admitting his relationship with Yvonne anyway?” “But what if he fails?” Jesse was curious. “What does filth have to do with the Xaviers?” Grandma Xavier’s expression was as cold as ice. This was just a simple chess move. In her eyes, the mere Prince York had no right to fight in the highest level of Country H just yet.
