Harvey York's Rise to Power

Chapter 316

Harvey York smiled cruelly as he grabbed Wyatt Johnson’s neck, lifting him up with one hand. He snarled softly, “Do you not understand the situation? Do you think that this old b*tch can really protect you?”

Harvey flung him away roughly.

Thud!

Two of Wyatt’s teeth fell out, and he squealed like a pig who was being slaughtered. However, this was the CEO’s exclusive floor. No one else was around aside from them.

Thea York’s heart clenched at the sight, and she quickly tugged on Harvey’s arm. “Let go of him, Harvey. He is my precious sweetheart. If you dare hurt him, I’ll make sure that you’ll end up not having a body to bury!”

Harvey kicked her and Thea was sent crashing to the ground. However, Thea refused to give up. She hugged Harvey’s calf and held on. “Let go of him! Let go of him!”

Harvey smiled frostily. He loosened his left hand and hit Wyatt’s belly with his fist.

Wyatt wailed loudly, his whole body curled up like a fetus. He was in such excruciating pain that sweat covered his whole body. He felt like he was losing feeling in his stomach.

Thea let go of Harvey’s leg and quickly staggered towards Wyatt’s side, looking heartbroken. “Wyatt, Wyatt, are you alright?”

“Baby, you need to help me kill him! Help me kill him!” Wyatt kept crying.

Thea was seething. How dare Harvey harm her baby?! However, there was no one around for her to order. How could she face an opponent like Harvey?

“Harvey! I’m your aunt, for goodness’ sake. Do you not feel any guilt for what you’ve done? You’re being completely unreasonable!” Thea’s tone was rife with hatred.

“Aunt? Unreasonable?” Harvey scoffed. “What great relatives I have. You used to eat my food, drink my wine, and trail behind me to indulge in life’s greatest pleasures.”

“What happened after that? Three years ago, my so-called relatives casually decided to kick me out of the York family. My own parents were sent to Africa and can never come back to this country for the rest of their lives. Three years ago, why did you not think that you were my aunt?” Harvey asked emotionlessly.

Thea gritted her teeth and said, “Harvey, I was not the one against you three years ago. I’m as helpless as you. If I didn’t agree to their decision, I would have had a worse end than you!”

“I understand.” Harvey nodded slowly. “You’re helpless too. I’ll consider that and give you a chance. Tell me who sent you to Niumhi and I’ll let your baby go. How about that?”

Thea could not help but tremble at Harvey’s words. Her face was contorted in fear. It was obvious that the person was more frightening than Harvey by miles.

Thea calmed down and drew in a deep breath. “No one instructed me to come. I only came to Niumhi to support my lil’ baby. Harvey, let’s not continue this fruitless talk. Kill me if you dare!”

It was clear that Thea still had some confidence left in her. She thought that Harvey would not dare to kill her. She was, after all, a member of the York family. She could be beaten up and insulted by him, but if he killed her, the York family would not sit by and ignore her death.

It did not matter what trump card Harvey had at that point. He was doomed for sure.

“What makes you think that you deserve to dirty my hands? Do you qualify?” Harvey mocked her.

Thea shuddered at Harvey’s expression. She was not afraid of being killed by him, but his poker face was downright terrifying.

Thea had seen many people from all walks of life, but he had her drenched in cold sweat. Finally, she could not bear the suspense any longer and asked, “What are you planning to do?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your worthless life. However, you need to offer an explanation for what happened yesterday and today.” Harvey’s expression was cold.

“Explanation? All I did was give her a few slaps. If you're so heartbroken about it, I can give you two slaps too.” Thea narrowed her eyes. She felt like she had to surrender.

“I told you: you don’t qualify,” Harvey said disdainfully, then looked at Wyatt who was akin to a dead dog. “Don’t play dead there. Since this woman is your most beloved, why don’t you beat her up too? She hit Yvonne a few times earlier, so I want you to return the favor ten times more. If you restrain yourself or hit her less than expected, I’ll ask Tyson Woods to do the beating instead.”

The choice offered was to be beaten up by Wyatt or a built man like Tyson. Thea knew which option was the better one. She was more than willing to endure a few slaps if that could solve the conflict that day.

“Hit me! Hit me with force!” Thea gritted her teeth and said to Wyatt.
