Chapter 973
“Mom, this has nothing to do with him. Just let him go.”
Yvonne Xavier subconsciously stood in front of Harvey York at this moment, not wanting him to be hurt.
The middle-aged woman that Yvonne called her mom was none other than Iona Sherman, Yvonne’s stepmother.
After her father passed away, Iona Sherman was her closest relative in public.
She furiously scolded Yvonne, “You spoiled goods. You still call me your mom?
“What? Your heart broke when I hit your lover?
“Don’t be shameless like your father, not knowing courtesy and shame, outside looking for women every day!”
Iona then shifted her cold gaze back toward Harvey after her speech, then said coldly, “A so-called prince like you only dares to take cover behind a woman? You’re just as useless as the legends say that you are!”
Harvey looked deeply into Iona’s eyes, then covered Yvonne behind his back and quietly whispered, “It’s fine. I can handle things like this.”
After seeing Yvonne and Harvey as if they were lovers, Iona was boiling with anger.
“Alright then! You shameless bunch are still being lovey-dovey right in front of me. Are you pretending that I’m dead or something?”
Iona’s tone was full of ridicule, and her expression was as cold as ice.
Harvey frowned.
“If it weren’t for you being related to Yvonne, you would’ve been dead already for speaking to her that way.”
“Heh! You’ve no other talents other than talking big, huh?! I’d like to see if anyone in South Light would even dare to touch the Xaviers from Wolsing!
“Even South Light’s first-in-command, Sheldon Xavier, is but a middle-class man amongst the Xaviers from Wolsing. What place does a so-called prince like you even have?”
Iona glared at Harvey full of disdain while making sarcastic remarks towards him.
“Enough.”
At this moment, Grandma Xavier, who was holding a string of beads while sitting in the middle of the hall, spoke calmly.
Once her voice echoed, even the rude and disrespectful Rita Lawson or Iona Sherman that was full of ulterior motives had all gone dead silent. They would not dare to say another word.
Other than Jesse Xavier, who was still smiling after all this. The others looked quite serious.
Grandma Xavier’s eyes that were closed had been opened at this moment.
Her sights landed upon Harvey. She seemed clumsy and shaky, but she had an unspeakable aura at this moment.
Harvey York frowned. He was able to tell.
This woman was more terrifying than Melissa Leo.
After looking at Harvey York deeply, she stood up while trembling constantly.
Iona Sherman and Rita Lawson helped lift her beside her. They would not dare even to let out a breath of air in the process.
Grandma Xavier then walked toward the entrance, then stopped for a brief moment when she got there.
“Jesse, you can handle this small matter.”
Jesse smiled and replied, “Rest assured, Grandma Xavier, I’ll handle this swiftly.
“Who knows how many lowly families wanted to step on the Xaviers from Wolsing for so many years. But for a rundown person like you thinking of finishing off the family, what a joke!”
Grandma Xavier’s silhouette gradually disappeared with the help of the others lifting her.
She did not even look Harvey in the eye since the beginning, and she did not intend to talk to him either.
Prince York was worshipped by infinite amounts of people in South Light. But in her eyes, it was as if he was not worth even a single dime.
When Grandma Xavier had left, the hall seemed like it had the temperature raised back up.
Jesse straightened his body that was tilting to the front, then chuckled after looking at Harvey.
“Prince York, sit down for a spell and talk with me.”
