Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 279

Shirley Ryan’s face turned red instantly. She’s not a kid anymore, how could she not know what would happen if Harvey York hadn’t come to her rescue. Not knowing what to reply, she could only bite her lip.

“Harvey, I’m warning you, if you dare to touch me even once more I’ll have you locked up in jail for sure!” Jerry Zabel finally managed to get himself up unstably as he howled at Harvey.

Some live-in son-in-law, who’s looked down upon by everyone, washed the feet for his mother-in-law, cleaned the toilet of the house, dared to touch him. He’d had tons of ways to make Harvey begging for his life!

In the end…

Swoosh!

The next thing he knew, Harvey had already slapped Jerry right across the face hard as he became dizzy with a red mark burning on his cheek.

“You… dare to hit me…” Jerry was in full rage.

Shirley was all flabbergasted, rumours had it that after Harvey became the live-in son-in-law, he was bullied all the time by the Zimmers but however she looked at him right now, he seemed nothing but manly in her eyes…

Jerry, who was still shook up from the beating he got from Harvey, tried to calm himself down and spat on the floor. He glared in hatred at Harvey York as he fumbled for his phone. “You’re in total trouble, worthless sack of trash!”

After that, he furiously punched a series of numbers into his phone and made a call.

Harvey wasn’t at all disturbed by Jerry’s action, instead, he climbed onto the car and untied Shirley from the seat, only then he glared at Jerry. “Calling for backup? Sure, I’ll wait here and see who you can ask for help from!”

Shirley had a concerned look on her face as she tried to recenter herself, and whispered to Harvey, “Harvey, I think we should leave right away, Jerry got to know some big shot recently which is why he’s earning loads of money, that big shot is rumored to admire Jerry a lot, we don’t know what will happen if we triggered him!”

After saying all of that, Shirley got steamed up even more. She herself was an ordinary office worker with no prestigious background, which was why she couldn’t afford to displease people like Jerry.

And Harvey seemed to be in a worse condition than herself, a mere live-in son-in-law like him got himself into trouble because of her, what would they have to do?

“It’s okay, we were desk mates remember and how can I not help you? Plus, these are just small matters.” Harvey sat there being chilled as ever.

Small matters?
