“Are you wondering why I have such skills?” Harvey smirked.
Thea York was shocked to the core and collapsed on the sofa in a disheveled heap. Her breathing quickened as she asked, “How could this be?”
“It’s simple, really. If I didn’t have these skills, I would not only have been driven out three years ago, I would be dead. Do you understand?” Harvey said slowly.
Thea’s eyes widened. She had not known why Harvey had managed to stay alive three years ago, but now she knew.
The York family would usually kill an abandoned heir, without a doubt. Why would they allow him to be a live-in son-in-law? It was a hidden danger for them.
However, this abandoned heir could not be properly dealt with. Could the York family not even take his life?
Under these circumstances, would the family not have planted a trap at the very least?
“Harvey… I admit that I looked down on you. However, so what if you have some skills? In this age, we don’t look at great fighting skills anymore. No matter how strong you are and how fast your fists can be, can you beat the speed of a gun?” Thea drew in a deep breath and tried to calm herself. “No matter what skills you have, the York family has countless ways to kill you without leaving a trace!”
Harvey smiled and said, “Is one of their tactics to send an old b*tch to come and bother me? If that’s the case, I can only say that the York family’s standards have plummeted.”
Thea gritted her teeth and barked, “So what? You’d need to kill me in the end! Do you dare kill me?”
“What are you talking about, you old b*tch? Killing is against the law.” Harvey pulled out his phone.
Soon, Tyson Woods was dragging Wyatt Johnson into the CEO's office.
“My baby, why have you…” Thea saw Wyatt’s discolored nose and swollen face. Her heart was aching so much that she found it hard to breathe. He was her man, after all. How could they hit his handsome face until this state?
When Wyatt saw Thea, he thought he was finally being saved. With his face drenched in tears, he said, “My baby, sweetheart, you’ve finally come. Quick, get someone to cripple this live-in- son-in-law. He had the audacity to make others beat me up. You must avenge me. You must make him regret living!”
Wyatt fell to the ground and groveled, clinging onto Thea’s legs. It was quite comical but nauseating to watch.
Everyone knew that he was a kept man, but they did not expect him to sink to this level.
