At that moment, Cecilia was sitting on the ground, frozen in shock. The woman had always been vain, so she was a bit aware of the situation.
‘Harvey York really was their boss. Wasn’t the one in the lead respectful towards him too? How is that possible? He’s just a worthless live-in son-in-law!’
‘For the past three years, whenever I would go to Mandy’s house, this piece of filth would always be washing feet or the restroom. I could even tell the filth to wash my dirty shoes and socks that I didn’t want to wash. But… I can’t believe that he’s a gangster boss…’
This incident had really shocked Cecilia. Now that she knew his identity, would Harvey end her life here?
Cecilia was terrified for her life. These people that lived on the streets were cruel and brutal—if they really wanted to do something, nobody would even know if she suddenly disappeared.
“Harvey… Sir York…” Cecilia kneeled in front of Harvey and hugged his legs, sobbing hysterically.
“I was wrong… I was truly wrong…” Cecilia was ashamed to no end. She did not think that one day, she would have to kneel in front of this live-in son-in-law and beg for his forgiveness while hugging his legs.
Harvey smiled and asked casually, “Did you not just say that you’ll let Mandy force me out of the family—not even giving me a spot to beg for food?”
“I was wrong! I was truly wrong!” Cecilia was trembling.
“I’m begging you, for Mandy’s sake, please let me go! I don’t want to die... I won’t say a word of what happened tonight, your secret’s safe with me! I swear! I promise!”
“Promise?” Harvey calmly asked. “How can you guarantee it?”
“I… I…” Cecilia bit her lip. “Master, from today onwards, you are my master. I am merely your little dog, and I won’t say anything about this. I’ll heed my master’s call…”
“Woof woof,” Cecilia quietly barked twice.
Harvey was shocked—where did all of Cecilia’s dignity go? He didn’t even ask for it but Cecilia had barked on her own.
Cecilia’s face was now crimson red.
She used to despise Harvey York to the point that he disgusted her, but right now, she had just thrown away all of her dignity in front of him.
“I’ll let this slide since I don’t have this kind of perverted hobby, but remember—if anybody finds out about what happened today, I’ll make your life a living hell.”
