Chapter 48 - Bluff

[Chapter 48]

"Yvonne, please pass the message down. Terminate the automotive city project that has been discussed in the morning." Harvey York said and did not even bother to look at Kevin Quinn.

"Yes!" Yvonne Xavier responded simply.

After putting this old-model phone on the table, Harvey looked at Kevin who was almost kneeling on the ground at the moment, and said with a smile, "Mr. Quinn, why are you bowing to me? I'm a worthless trash. I can't afford it."

Kevin did not dare to stand upright. He laughed subserviently. "Mr. York, what are you talking about? Didn't you say it just now? If I beg you to come back, I have to kneel and call you Father…"

"Don't do it. I'm not that unlucky to have a son like you." Harvey waved his hand.

"Yes, yes. I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy. I'm so ignorant before, but I know that Mr. York is a generous man. Please have some mercy." Kevin's face stiffened.

Harvey was indifferent. He was flipping through the magazines on the desk at will.

Kevin gritted his teeth when he saw Harvey's attitude. He grovelled a few times at the next moment. He then said deeply, "Please forgive me, Mr. York!"

Only Kevin knew how bad the book value of this automotive city was. If there was no strong external aid to inject capital, he would struggle in maintaining the capital chain. If that was the case, the company would close down. He would have nothing left.

Moreover, he also heard it just now. Mr. York who was in front of him had initially considered continuing to invest in the automotive city. However, due to his attitude…

When he thought of this, he did not even dare to have any hatred toward Harvey but only dare to feel regret and apprehension.

Harvey finally put down the magazine in his hand and smiled after seeing this scene. "Mr. Quinn, I really couldn't afford your big bow. You should stand up. Otherwise, what will your employees be thinking about if they saw what you are doing." 

"Yes, yes!" Kevin got up respectfully and stood beside Harvey, acting as an attendant.

"Hey, cousin, I just…" Kevin sighed. At this moment, he saw Angel Quinn opening the door and walking in. She had already left but suddenly remembered that she still had something to say, so she came back.

As soon as she came in, she saw the useless live-in son-in-law-Harvey sitting on the sofa like a boss, while her cousin—Kevin was standing on the edge nervously like an attendant.

The atmosphere dampened at this moment.

Kevin was indescribably embarrassed. He could not wait to jump off from the second floor at this moment.

As for Harvey, it did not matter, he did not even look at Angel.

"Well done, Harvey! You come back and threaten to blackmail my cousin, or did you come to negotiate terms with my cousin? Are you only willing to divorce if you have the money…?"

Kevin had already interrupted her before she had finished speaking. "Go out first, don't talk nonsense…."

Kevin had pushed Angel out of the office door while he was still talking. However, he turned around quickly and said, "Wait a moment, I'll take care of the matter…"

Harvey motioned him to close the door and then said calmly, "You should have seen it. I am a low-key person. Even my wife doesn't know much about me. I don't want some unimportant people to know about my identity. So, you should knowhow to explain to her, that includes your employees too, understand?"

"Understand! Don't worry, Mr. York!" Kevin was not stupid. He immediately understood what Harvey meant, and kept nodding.

Kevin took a deep breath and resumed his initial stance after getting out of the office. He stared at Angel and said. "Don't you know that you have to knock first before entering my office?"

"Got it, I'll remember it next time." Angel stared at the absent-minded Harvey in the office. "Cousin, what's the matter? Did you apologize to him just now? Or did you beg him? I'm telling you it's not necessary. He's trash. You don't have to care about him!

"This…" Kevin was quick-witted. He then said, "His electric bike just broke down. He thought it was caused by one of my employees. So, he came to rock the boat. I invited him to the office so that he would not make a big fuss outside and ruin the environment…"

"Oh, I see!" Angel just came around to realize what had happened. She then despised. "Cousin, trash like him would always try to bluff wherever he goes. You must not be nice to him. Just order someone to beat him and drive him away!"

"Shall I call the police for you?"
