Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 281

Harvey York was slightly speechless. ‘What kind of perception is that? Could it be that Jerry Zabel is mentally ill?’

But before he could say anything, Kane Brooke had started to feel slightly impatient.

He then took off his coat casually and threw it at a bodyguard beside him. He then said lightly, “Who’s that? I don’t care who you are. Get lost now. Don’t ruin my fun. If not, I’ll kill you later.”

As he was saying that, he threw a glance at the bodyguard behind him. That bodyguard understood what he meant well. Hence, the bodyguard took out a stack of blue banknotes and threw them on the ground.

For a lowly person like that, Kane had a lot of experience. He just had to threaten them slightly and gave them some money. Then, that person would know perfectly well what he should or should not say.

That night, he went there to enjoy himself. He was in no mood to tackle a lowly person like that.

Seeing that, Jerry was nervous inwardly. If Harvey took the money and left, he would suffer a terrible loss and come out empty-handed.

At that moment, he shouted loudly, “Mr Brooke, don’t let him go. Shirley Ryan had a secret crush on this man. Won’t you have a lot more fun if you let him witness how you ruin Shirley’s innocence?”

At first, Kane was about to fly into a rage. But as soon as he heard that, his eyes brightened. He then said, “Interesting. Jerry, I never expected to see that you’re slightly capable…”

After that, Kane took out a few stacks of banknotes and threw them on the ground himself. He then said lightly, “Did you hear that? Ask that woman to lie down there by herself, and you’re going to watch the scene at the side…”

Hearing that, Shirley was filled with disappointment. She never thought that the devil was so frightening. How could he even be able to do such a thing?

At that moment, Harvey finally laughed slightly and stood up. He then got out of the car. “Mr. York, it seems like Liam didn’t give you quite a good lesson that time around…”

Hearing that familiar voice, Kane, who was smiling at that moment, became tense all of a sudden. His facial expression changed dramatically. When he saw Harvey’s face clearly, his facial expression worsened.

‘Harvey York! It turns out to be Harvey York!’

How could Kane bother about a live-in son-in-law like that given his status?

But with what happened previously, Liam had suppressed Kane deeply for the sake of the Zimmers. Besides, without Liam’s protection, the Brookes had suffered a lot lately since they had found faults with York Enterprise before.

The Brookes could not take notice of the Zimmers. But Zimmers was a family under the protection of Liam and York Enterprise. Hence, the Brookes had no choice but to mind them and be in fear of them.

Therefore, it could be said that a second class family like the Zimmers was now an existence which the Brookes could not afford to offend now.

Kane was a decisive man. At that moment, he did not even care about the ins and outs of that incident. He soon changed his facial expression dramatically and broke into a smile. He then said, “It turns out to be Mr. York. Since it’s a woman who you have your eyes on, then certainly I won’t ruin another’s pleasure…”

Kane said those things rather reluctantly. But he knew about one thing very well. Even though Harvey was only a live-in son-in-law, and he even heard that Harvey was merely a nobody in the Zimmers, he thought that it was better to be safe than sorry in an incident like that.

Currently, the Brookes could not afford to suffer any more blows.

Hearing that, Shirley trembled all over. She was filled with disbelief and shock.

She never expected to see that Harvey would be feared by a devil like Kane.

At the side, Jerry was even much stupefied.

At first, he thought that Harvey was certainly screwed after Kane came. But what was happening now? How could Kane be frightened of that live-in son-in-law? For what reason? How was that possible?

“I don’t care much about it either. But how to resolve this incident at hand?” Harvey smiled faintly and pointed at Jerry.

“Certainly, I’ll give you an explanation for this, Mr. York.” Even though Kane was filled with great annoyance, he still kicked Jerry’s head without any hesitation. “Jerry, you’re just a dog I keep with me. How could you go out there and create troubles every day? How could you be so bold as to offend Mr. York? Do you even know who he is?”

“He… He’s just a live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers…” Jerry touched his head and said in great pain.

“Shut up!” Kane said coldly. “Beat him up now! If you don’t beat him up vigorously today, this won’t be over! And destroy this pathetic car too!”

The two bodyguards took actions after they heard that. After a short while, Jerry could not even manage to scream and wail in pain after being beaten up vigorously.

Then, his MPV was smashed into a mass of twisted metal directly.

Having done that, Kane smiled softly at Harvey. He then said cordially, “Mr. York, this issue is resolved now. Are you quite satisfied with it?”

Harvey said lightly, “You’re indeed quite wise and sensible. You resolved the issue in just the right manner…”

Harvey said that, but he soon became vigilant.

Kane was a person who could endure harsh difficulties and act decisively. That was why the Brookes were still able to endure that even though the York Enterprise oppressed them secretly during the past few days. ‘It seems like I’ve looked down on the Brookes.’

However, the Brookes were just a mere second class family. Harvey would not care so much about them.

After Kane did that, he gave Harvey a meaningful look. He then smiled and said, “Since the issue is resolved, I’ll leave now. Mr. York, do you need me to give you a ride?”

Harvey said lightly, “No need.”

“Fine, I’ll leave now!”

When the Mercedes-Benz was driven away, Shirley just felt that her legs were shaky at that moment. She was filled with astonishment too. ‘Is that really my deskmate? Why is he so calm when he faced that incident? Is he really as simple as a live-in son-in-law?’

***

After Harvey sent Shirley home, he returned to his home in the middle of the night. But he soon saw that his clothes were dumped on the floor in the corridor. Harvey was stupefied on the spot.

‘What’s wrong all of a sudden?’
