Vince York was looking extremely glum at this moment.
Cory York was also showing a horrible expression. He was glaring at Akio Yashiro with a deathly look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Akio himself.
Lexie York was horrified. She had not expected that Vince would have such a deep connection with the Islanders.
Did Vince himself know that he was being supported by them during his rise then?!
Even Grandma York looked weird as she intently stared at Vince. Her persistence and support for Vince were steadily dwindling
Along with Akio‘s word, a Dragon Palace elite later walked out with a few trays.
Pictures, contracts, ledgers, and various documents were brought out. Everyone understood that this was solid proof without even perusing it.
If not, Harvey York would never allow all this to show up here, judging from his attitude. Harvey then squinted at Vince.
“Is there anything you‘d like to explain, Young Lord York?”
“There‘s nothing to explain!”
Vince was not enraged, nor did he lose control. He just stayed calm like never before.
He looked at Marcel York and Grandma York with a collected gaze and said, “I‘ll admit. I had a close relationship with the Islanders before.
“We had collaborated on a few big projects.
“I also received some of their gifts.
“But, what‘s the problem with that?
“The Yorks of Hong Kong is the face of Country H! Of course, we need to make friends with people across the globe!
“Besides, Country H and the Island Nations are practically neighbors!
“If we have a good relationship with the Island Nations‘ royal family, our position in Country H will be solidified!
“I accomplished all this!
“Since I‘m pretty discreet, I didn‘t bring up any of this to the public.
“But instead, you‘re using something like this to criticize me?!
“I‘ll have to thank you for that then!”
Everyone looked at each other after hearing Vince‘s words.
Even though Akio‘s words were quite harsh, revealing that Vince‘s rise was all because of the Islanders‘ manipulation tactic…
Vince managed to turn those words around, proving that he was just a business partner with the Island Nations.
Judging from this perspective , Vince did nothing wrong.
Harvey chuckled.
“What are you saying, Vince?
“Are you telling us that you‘re only collaborating with them?”
“How are you not ashamed? “As the young lord of the family, you‘re still here running your mouth after being treated as some puppet.”
“Don‘t you think that it‘s embarrassing?”
“Embarrassing?”
A hint of playfulness was showing in Vince‘s eyes.
“Why would I be embarrassed?
“Country H and the Island Nations are neighboring countries!
“We‘re all strong countries from the far east! Isn‘t it normal to borrow their strength to climb the ranks?”
“Don‘t forget! We have a good relationship with them!
“Even the higher–ups of the country have been in contact with the Island Nations for years!
“I‘m not even selling out my own country! What‘s wrong with that?!”
