Harvey York’s Rise to Power Chapter 6458

Chapter 6458

Harvey felt like he was looking at concubines from a bygone era as he looked at the women, old-fashioned and drowned in decadence.

He instinctively felt disgusted.

“Were you looking for me, stepmother?”

It seemed like Journi did not like what she was looking at as well, but she still started the conversation with a blank expression.

It was obvious that the woman who won the card game was Elric’s current wife, Pamela Thompson. She was barely a few years older than Journi.

“Stepmother?” Pamela glanced coldly at Journi. “I told you many times. You can either call me mom or mother. You keep on calling me stepmother… Will you only be satisfied by reminding me that I’m your father’s subsequent wife? Or maybe you think I can’t deal with you after you mocked me like that?”

Pamela was sneering at this time, and she seemed surrounded by an air of arrogance that Harvey could not really put his finger on.

However, Harvey could already tell from Pamela’s last name that she was most likely someone from the Thompson family. The only thing he could not ascertain was whether she was someone from the main family or the branch family.

However, whether she was from the main or branch family did not matter. Pamela was someone quite highly ranked within the Stanton family.

Journi narrowed her eyes as she looked at the woman before her.

After a while, she replied, “There’s something I don’t have to remind you of, and you know it very well. My mom is dead, but you’ll never become the owner of this estate.”

Pamela scoffed. “Do you think you’ll be the owner when you are married? What? Do you feel like you have the power to speak so loudly against me, your stepmother, right after you have graduated and worked for a few months? Do you think that you don’t have to listen to me anymore?

“All I need is to say one word, and your dad will take back all the money he invested in you. I can even make him lock you up in your room. Once I’m in a good mood, I’ll sell you off and let you know what it means to be the mistress of the house!”

Journi’s expression turned sour when she heard what Pamela had said. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and said, “I’m here today to tell you I have a boyfriend now. From now on, I will decide on my own marriage and won’t allow any of you to interfere.

“Boyfriend?” Pamela was slightly surprised and turned her attention to Harvey-a smirk formed on her lips. “Don’t tell me it’s this man who looked like one of our drivers. Is he your so-called boyfriend?

“Haven’t I told you many times? A woman shouldn’t find a man from the garbage heaps. She has to be responsible for herself and the entire family.”

It was clear how much Pamela despised and looked down on Harvey from her tone alone. Harvey could not be bothered by wasting his breath with Pamela, but she was crossing the line. He smiled and introduced himself, “Hello. I’m Harvey York, glad to meet you.”

“Silence. Am I addressing you? What makes you think you can join in this conversation?” Pamela coldly interjected. “Another word from you and I’ll have your tongue cut out, understand? You should know your place. You don’t even know where you are on the social ladder. Do you think you can act so arrogant towards me just because you’re mooching off of Journi?”
