Harvey York's Rise to Power

It was beaming with lights.

That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests.

All of his children and grandchildren presented him with 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 on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.”

“Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only 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…”

“…”

“Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation.

The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude.

Looking at their facial expressions, Senior Zimmer was delighted too. He was feeling gratified.

At that moment, a son-in-law from the Zimmers—Harvey York, stepped forward all of a sudden. He said, “Grandpa, could you please buy me a scooter? It’s more convenient for me to go and buy some vegetables…”

In that instant, everyone from the Zimmers was shocked. Almost everyone was stunned as they looked at Harvey in disbelief.

Had the son-in-law lost his mind? What kind of occasion was that? How could a son-in-law ask for something?

Besides, he did not even prepare a present for Senior Zimmer during the birthday party. How could he be so shameless to ask for something from Senior Zimmer? He even asked for nothing but a scooter. Did he want to humiliate Senior Zimmer intentionally?

Three years ago, they did not know where Grandma Zimmer found a man called Harvey. She forced her eldest granddaughter to marry him. At that time, Harvey was a poor man and was no different from a beggar.

However, on the day of their marriage, Grandma Zimmer passed away. Since then, everyone from the Zimmers looked down on him. For the past three years, Harvey did all kinds of menial work for the Zimmers. He had to prepare water for the others to wash their feet. Besides that, he was in charge of cooking too. He indeed led quite a pathetic life there.

Now, he voiced out and asked for a scooter. It was indeed the best of a bad bunch.
