When Hank learned that it was Mr. York, he was taken aback and exclaimed, “No wonder there was such a commotion; it was Mr. York! What a shame! If I had known it was him, I would have pushed my way to the front to catch a glimpse of his handsome face p>
He had heard that Mr. York was incredibly attractive.
The middle-aged man shot Hank a sideways glance and chuckled. “You’re not too shabby yourself, but you can’t compare to Mr. York.” Hank didn’t take offense. “How could I even think of comparing myself to Mr. York? The only one who might come close is probably Mr. Stone. I consider myself fortunate to have encountered Mr. York today. I think I’ll buy a lottery ticket later and see if I can strike it rich.” The middle-aged man found Hank’s words amusing. Jessica appeared astonished. After the middle-aged man left, she took Hank’s arm and led him to the hotel restaurant, saying, “Mr. York is a god-like figure in Wiltspoon. I wonder what kind of man he is and who the lucky lady is that has captured his heart.” The York family was the wealthiest in Wiltspoon, and Mr. York was the head of this generation. He oversaw the enormous York Corporation and even had his own private business. He was certainly a highly sought-after partner.
Few rumors circulated about women who admired him, possibly because ordinary people rarely had the chance to see Mr. York in person. Without the opportunity to meet him, it was unlikely anyone would become infatuated or fall in love. However, there was one person who was completely enamored with Mr. York: Elisa Stone, the beloved daughter of the Stone family. Elisa not only openly confessed her feelings for Mr. York but also passionately pursued him. Jessica thought to herself, ‘If I had Elisa’s background and confidence, I would also go after Mr. York.’ “I felt that Mr. York’s figure looked a little familiar earlier. I…
“I just can’t figure out where I’ve seen him before,” Hank expressed his thoughts. Jessica hesitated to shatter his illusion but felt compelled to tell him the truth. “There’s no way you’ve met Mr. York before. York Corporation isn’t one of our clients. Even if they were, people at our level wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet him. Additionally, our company competes with one of York Corporation’s branches.” They could not collaborate for the time being unless their company changed industries and ceased competing with York Corporation’s branch.
Hank understood that, given his status, he could not even meet Mr. York’s administrative executive, Mr. Bucham, let alone Mr. York himself. It was rumored that even long-serving employees at York Corporation had never seen Mr. York’s true face. “I just think his figure looks a bit familiar.” ‘Mr. York… Zachary York? Isn’t Serenity’s husband’s last name York p>
However, Hank quickly dismissed the idea. When they first met, he had asked Zachary about his connection to the York family, but Zachary explained that their families were related five centuries ago—meaning he had no current ties to Mr. York. Moreover, Mr. York was the young heir of the York family. How could he marry Serenity? Furthermore, Zachary drove a national MPV valued at only around one hundred thirty thousand, which seemed incongruous with Mr. York’s status.
