“Of course! What? Do you want them to apologize to you instead?” exclaimed Billie Higgs as if it was obvious.“Don’t be naive, Harvey!“My father provided you with food and a place to stay!“He told me to care for you while you’re studying here too…“But he never said you’re allowed to use the family’s name to show off wherever you please!”Then, Billie looked at the others.“This guy isn’t that involved with the family!“I don’t care what happens…“But I do hope you’ll let this one slide for my sake. Is that fine?”Roger Cobb and the others looked at each other. They would not even dare say a word.‘You?‘Your family’s impressive…‘But you’re just a relative!‘Why are you still trying to pretend here?!‘Then again…Roger and the others instinctively nodded after seeing Harvey nod as well.“That’s right! We’ll let it go!“We won’t harass Harvey anymore!”Roger and the others scurried away, secretly thanking Billie for showing up.Nobody knew what would happen to the
Harvey York just smiled. He did not care about such baseless threats.He turned around before getting ready to leave. He could not be bothered to deal with Billie Higgs.“I think you should keep in mind what Billie’s saying.The car door opened.A man in a white shirt emerged from the car. He seemed like he was a couple of years older than Billie.He leaned on the car before glaring at Harvey with a smile.Harvey looked back quietly.“Let me introduce myself.“I am Asher Klein.“I’m an underclassman at Oaklands University and your senior.“Other than that, I’m also the university’s student council president.“If I want you expelled, I’d only need three days.”Harvey instinctively rolled his eyes.He completely ignored Asher’s showing off when he casually glanced at Billie.“I can’t be bothered to argue with you…“But that’s because your dad treated me really well.“I’ll let you off the hook for many things because of that.“That said, you better not cross the line.“P
The rumors naturally did not reach Harvey York.Then again, Roger Cobb and the others who were afraid of him immediately understood after hearing about it.Garry Duncan and Ernie Surrey refrained from going against Harvey out of respect for the Higgs family.Harvey only dared to flaunt his strength because he had an arranged marriage with Billie Higgs.That said, he did not know that Asher Klein fancied Billie either.Billie also seemed to have a thing for Asher. The two were seen constantly together recently.With the Klein family’s authority, Harvey’s arranged marriage would be voided if Billie and Asher decided to get together.After realizing that, many people ignored Harvey’s impressive fighting skills.Many jealous people were quietly waiting for Harvey to make a joke out of himself.After an entire night, Roger and Teo Fairman calmed down quite a bit.Other than Roger’s family giving him and the others the confidence they needed…They truly believed Harvey was only th
‘Everlasting life?!‘This again?!’Harvey York just figured out why the Jean family was willing to sacrifice two branch heads for some bead.Everything made sense now.He had no choice but to go at this point.“I am interested in attending the auction here.”“Should I fetch you tonight, Master York?” asked Aria shyly.“It’s fine.Harvey shook his head.He had been attracting enough attention while he was at the university.Things would get hairy if a beautiful woman like Aria came to fetch him in a luxury car.He just wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble.“Send me an address. I’ll head over there tonight.”Aria would not want to force Harvey.“Right. Just mention my name to the guards.“I’ll let them know about you.”After hanging up the phone, Harvey ignored everyone’s odd gaze when he texted Yvonne Xavier and Tyson Woods.The two texted back soon after.Harvey took a few glances before leaving in the afternoon when the classes ended.After seeing him leave, Lore
Aenar Temple was located in the Scuva Mountains range.However, the auction site was not held there. Rather, it was in a memorial tower about thirty miles away from the temple.The tower had thousands of years of history and was one of Aenar Temple’s properties.Because of the outskirts’ tourism development, many elegant buildings were built around the tower, turning it into a typical place of leisure.Harvey York took a shower and got into his usual clothing after classes before calling a cab to the venue.Many luxury cars could be seen all around the auction site.Not just ordinary luxury cars like BMWs and Audis, Lincoln Customs, Bentleys, and Rolls Royce Phantoms were also seen everywhere.Judging from this, it was clear that even a secluded place like the outskirts was filled with wealthy people.Harvey casually took a few glances before coming to the entrance. After mentioning Aria Surrey’s name at the reception, he was respectfully invited to enter.No matter how lavish
“You just waltzed in here?Judith Pedler was in disbelief.“This place is heavily guarded, Harvey! Don’t say things like that!“You’ll get yourself thrown out if you do!”“Heh! Nothing that came out of his mouth has been true anyway!Billie Higgs walked over before showing a cold glare.“If I’m correct, he must’ve used the Higgs family’s name to get in!“The others probably think he’s a part of the family! That has to be the only reason why!”Billie was being utterly disdainful and arrogant as she glared at Harvey.Harvey felt a little speechless. It was safe to say Billie was a little too good at holding grudges.Dark circles were forming around her eyes. She must have been so angry that she could not sleep a wink the previous night.“Billie’s right, Judith,” replied Harvey with a smile.“Everyone in the outskirts knows about this anyway.“I’m destined to become the Higgs family’s live-in son-in-law.“It’s only natural for them to let me inside, right?”Judith was shock
“Billie’s live-in husband?“Judith’s also interested in him? It’s not just some puppy love now, is it?”Everyone looked at each other with disbelief.Judith Pedler and Billie Higgs were well-known goddesses in the outskirts’ upper social circle.The two also had immense identities, yet they were involved with a kept man like Harvey York.Because of the arranged marriage, Billie could just divorce Harvey another time if she wanted to…But what about Judith?Her kindness and curiosity would kill the man!After all, a goddess like her would surely have many people pursuing her. Many fierce pursuers would not hesitate to slap Harvey aside either.Since Harvey was Billie’s to-be husband, and Judith was also interested in him, he would probably die without ever knowing why!“Billie’s been close to Asher recently. She probably wouldn’t want anything to do with Harvey.“Judith was just too naive. It’d be bad if she gets fooled by the man…”The woman in a black dress frowned.“No!
“The guy from yesterday?“The one who has an arranged marriage with Billie?” Asher Klein muttered to himself in confusion.“How did he get in here?“Did Harlan give him an invitation?”After pondering for a moment, Asher believed that to be the only possibility.Billie Higgs was only a relative to the family, but Harlan’s wife, Whitley Cobb, was quite famous, making Harlan Higgs’ identity rise to the top as well.The auction was relatively high profile, but it would be easy for Harlan to get an invitation for Harvey, judging from his status.That said, Asher did not understand why Harlan would do such a thing.“He’s not trying to show Harvey just how inferior he is compared to Billie…“That said, an old fox like him might do just that.“After all, because of the family’s credibility, voiding the arranged marriage won’t be easy.“But Harlan didn’t need to wait this long just to do something like this…“And now, Harvey’s even talking with Judith!“He’s just trying to die at
