Chapter 1
At the Zimmer Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights.
That night was Senior Zimmer's seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with many guests.
All his children and grandchildren gave him gifts and said in unison, " We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life."
Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat in his chair. He replied, " Good. You are all quite obedient indeed. I am very happy today, so I will grant your every wish! Just tell me what you want."
"Grandpa, I want an apartment near the sea. It is inexpensive and just over a million dollars..."Grandpa, I want a Chanel Limited Edition bag..."
"Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car..."Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch..."..."
"Good. I will grant all your wishes!"Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without hesitation.
The little ones who asked for gifts were very happy. They almost knelt on the floor in gratitude.
Seeing their facial expressions, Senior Zimmer was also delighted. He felt grateful.
At that moment, the son-in-law of the Zimmers-Harvey York suddenly stepped forward. Said,
"Grandpa, can you buy me a scooter? It's easier for me to go and buy some
vegetables..."
At that moment, everyone from Zimmers was shocked. Almost everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Harvey in disbelief.
Has the son-in-law lost his mind? What kind of opportunity is that? How can a son-in-law ask for something?
Moreover, he did not even prepare a gift for Senior Zimmer during the birthday party. How could he be so shameless as to ask for something from Senior Zimmer? He even asked for nothing but a scooter. Did he want to embarrass Senior Zimmer on purpose?
Three years ago, they didn't know where Zimmer's grandmother found a man named Harvey. She forced her eldest grandson to marry her. At that time, Harvey was a poor man and was no different from a beggar.
However, on their wedding day, Zimmer's grandmother passed away. Since then, everyone from Zimmer has looked down on him. For the past three years, Harvey has done all kinds of menial work for Zimmers. He had to prepare water for the others to wash their feet. He is also in charge of cooking. He did live a pretty miserable life there.
Now, he blurted out and asked for a scooter. It was indeed the best of a bad bunch.
The scooter at home was stolen by someone when he went and bought vegetables the day before. He was poor and had no money, so he could only voice his wishes at that moment.
Since Senior Zimmer was quite happy, Harvey felt that he would grant his wish because it was a minor matter.
Senior Zimmer appeared quite happy right now but his face darkened suddenly.
He threw the glass out of his hand and it shattered on the floor. He then shouted furiously, " B*stard! Did you come to attend a birthday party or did you come to ruin it for everyone?"
Harvey's wife Mandy Zimmer rushed forward and explained, " grandpa, Harvey is unconscious. Today is a happy day. Don't be mad at him."
Then, he dragged Harvey aside.
At that moment, Mandy's cousin Quinn Zimmer sneered. "Mandy, look at your useless husband! What opportunities do we have today? It's grandpa's seventieth birthday party. He came empty-handed. How dare he ask something from Grandpa? When did he become so brave?"
"That's right. He has no manners. How could he ask for anything? Didn't he see so many guests here today? This is such a shame!"The one who voiced was Zimmer's most beloved senior grandson-Zack Zimmer. He always disliked Mandy. Now he found an opportunity to mock her.
"What a useless Bastard! What right does he have to live in our family?"Yes! He humiliated us!"
"I see it now. He did it on purpose to annoy us! He wants to ruin grandpa's happy mood!"
"Useless people! We have so many servants here in the family. Do we need you to go and buy vegetables?"
"You don't even work hard for it. How shameless! Do you think that you are important to us?"Get lost this instant! I'll hit you if you embarrass us more!"
"..."
Listening to condemnation and accusations from Zimmer, Harvey could not help but look down. Three years ago, Harvey might have died a violent death if Zimmer's grandmother hadn't brought him up. That is
also, why has he never complained about doing all kinds of menial tasks for Zimmer for the past three years?
"Grandpa, the manager of York Enterprise-Don Xander came to wish you a happy birthday!"Someone said at the door.
Immediately, a tall and handsome man entered the hall with a smile.

In addition, Don is one of the project managers working for York Enterprise. He comes from good family background and holds an important and prestigious position in the company. Many families in Niumhi wanted to be close to her, but they never found a good opportunity. Surprisingly, he came to wish Senior Zimmer on his birthday.
"Senior Zimmer, this is my gift to you!"
Don smiled and said. When he opened the gift box, many people were dumbfounded.
There was a check in the box, and it was worth eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars. In Niumhi, that amount of money is used for marriage proposals.
"Senior Zimmer, I came today to make a marriage proposal. I have admired Mandy for a long time now. I wish he could accept my proposal and marry me!"
Others gasped in amazement.
At that moment, everyone was shocked.
Mandy is Harvey's wife. Don't you care for that? He showed no respect to Harvey at all.
But after much deliberation, Harvey is just a useless adopted son-in-law. Why should Don respect him? Don wasn't even afraid that he would offend Harvey.
"I know that what I'm saying may be too sudden but I can't stand to see my beloved Mandy living with such a useless man. Senior Zimmer, I hope you can properly consider my offer."Don smiled and said. She then turns around and smiles at Mandy before she turns around and leaves.
"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress.

With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything.
