Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 245

Seeing that the classmates were speaking up for her, Nia became relieved. If her lie was exposed, she would be humiliated. Luckily, no one was willing to believe that live-in son-in-law, Harvey.

“Worthless trash, why do you have to act like this? If you want to stand up for your wife, you need to have a little bit of self-awareness. You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Who would ever believe in your nonsense?” Nia spat, full of contempt. “I heard that you’ve been a live-in son-in-law for three years now. You always prepare the water for your mother-in-law to wash her feet. You even had to clean the bathroom. You don’t even get the chance to hold your wife’s hand. Why do you have to be like that? You’re a man, but you’re so pathetic. You’re an embarrassment to your own kind!”

“Nia, you need to apologize to my wife and her best friend. We can just let it go just like that. How about that?” Harvey said calmly, not at all disturbed by Nia’s insults.

“Mandy, is your husband out of his mind? Don’t you need to ask him to behave himself?” Nia frowned, turning to Mandy.

“He’s right.” Mandy replied icily. “Apologize to Angel now, and we can forget about this whole incident.”

Nia burst into laughter. “You asked me to apologize to Angel. You want me to apologize to your dog. Do you think she deserves that? Can she accept it?”

“Mandy, I thought your husband was the one who lost his mind. It seems you’re no better than him. But this is to be expected. After all, if you’re so smart, how is it possible for you to find yourself a live-in husband?”

Not only Nia, the other classmates burst into laughter as well.

‘That’s hilarious! This live-in son-law is just a worthless piece of trash who always cleans up the bathrooms and serves the others water for washing their feet. He’s really bold to talk like that to Nia! He’s very daring and reckless!’

‘Why doesn’t he go and look into the mirror? Take a good look at himself! If he’s too poor that he can’t afford a mirror, he can make a pool of pee for himself and look through it.’

“Mandy, it’s rare for you to come to our gathering. You better don’t humiliate yourself.”

“That’s true. If not, we won’t be able to meet you next year! Why would we come then?”

“If your husband knows how to play piano, then I’m the reincarnation of Beethoven!”

“That’s right. In my opinion, you should really ask your husband to apologize to Nia!”

“Mandy, I advised you a long time ago. You shouldn’t keep this kind of husband. It’s much better if you divorce him as quickly as possible!”

The crowd babbled. Mandy’s face darkened.

Mandy was quite pleased when Harvey spoke up for her. Yet, he insisted that Nia and her husband used a stereo system to play the music. Was he not looking for trouble himself?

Harvey heaved a sigh. At first, it didn’t concern him at all if Nia and her husband wanted to put up a show and acted smug. But now...

He didn’t want to care about them. He walked directly toward the piano without saying a thing.

“Hey! The person who has learned how to play the cotton candy is now ready to play the piano. Don’t be reckless, now. If you ruin the piano, can you even afford the repair cost?” Nia shot Harvey a disdainful look. She was nervous, but she would never show that in front of the others.

Harvey had now reached the piano. The next moment, he did something that made the rest stare at him with widened gazes. He raised his right hands and slammed them hard on the keys.

Bang!

The piano gave a muffled and dull sound, but they could not hear any music...

Laughter followed. “How could you play the piano like that? Do you think that you’re smashing a walnut?”

“We don’t even need to use our hands if we want to smash a walnut, right?”

“Worthless trash, hurry up and get down from the stage. Don’t ruin the piano! You won’t be able to afford to compensate for it!”

Everyone was busy laughing, but Jamie’s facial expression changed slightly. He was the only one who knew about that very well. The lid of the piano was not lifted, so it would not make any sound even if anyone tried to play it. He was clearly playing the stereo system just now.

Seeing that everyone was still mocking him, Harvey smashed a few more piano keys. But still no sound was heard.

Now, everyone exchanged helpless glances. If the first time was an accident, then what was happening now? Could it be that the piano indeed made no sound?

Harvey touched the piano with both of his hands. He circled to the back of the piano and stretched his hand out to break something off the piano.

“Harvey! What are you doing? Can you afford to pay if you ruin the piano? This piano costs around a few ten thousand dollars!” Jamie’s facial expression was stern. He had the urge to rush toward Harvey.

But Harvey didn’t care for him. The next moment, there was a bang. Soon, they saw Harvey breaking something at the side of the piano. It was something as large as one’s palm. Harvey then threw it on the floor.

“Is this… a small portable loudspeaker?”

Some people were standing quite near to the piano. They stared at the floor, and their voices fading.

“It’s indeed a portable loudspeaker, and one of the best quality. I heard that the loudspeaker of this brand is very good and has a pleasant sound. If that’s the case, could it be that…”

They looked at each other, filled with disbelief. ‘Did this mean that the worthless live-in son-in-law made the correct guess?’
