Chapter 914
Without a second thought, Ms. Yuna was naturally a bit disappointed.Because this meant that his carefree attitude back at Buckwood High School was not because of him having actual power.It was just because he did not know how strong the Surreys were actually.He was lucky as well. His wife even called the first-in-command of Buckwood along with the others to help him stand his ground.There were still loopholes to this theory.But the title of a live-in son-in-law was enough to change Ms. Yuna’s impressions of Harvey York in an instant.Her eyes were showing slight disgust toward him as well.What sort of dirty thought did the live-in son-in-law have if he did not specify that he was taken when she asked him out for food?But Ms. Yuna was not to be blamed; she was a beauty too and had a pair of peach-eyes. Men that approached her would naturally have heinous thoughts about her.That was why she would always be cautious and disgusted toward any man that approached her.And i

“What chance?” Harvey York calmly asked.Luke Surrey slammed his hand onto the table and swiped the remainder of Harvey’s meal to the ground. He then stepped on the table with his leather boot.“Now, kneel! Lick the boot clean, and then you can leave!”“Yeah! Lick the boot!”“How dare you pursue a man that Prince Surrey wants?! How presumptuous!”“You’re lucky that you’re not beaten to death yet, being this arrogant in front of the prince!”“...”The crowd was clamoring. Luke was wearing a smile fit for a victor, proudly looking down at Harvey.Harvey then let out another sigh.“Ms. Yuna, I didn’t think you were such a dangerous beauty.”Ms. Yuna frowned. She was truly disgusted by Harvey at that moment.Not only was this man a live-in son-in-law, he even wanted to shift all blame toward her when things had escalated to this point.After taking a deep breath, Ms. Yuna then stood up and looked at Luke.“Luke Surrey, let him go. I’ll even have a meal with you if you do!”Ha

Harvey chuckled. He didn’t expect Luke Surrey would calm down at a key moment like this.He sized Luke up for a while, then laughed softly while murmuring, “Interesting.”“Now, scram!” Luke spoke up coldly.“Prince Surrey demanded you to leave! Why are you still standing here?!”“Get your ass out now! After this, keep your eyes wide open and remember that Prince Surrey isn’t someone you can offend!”Faced with the barrage of insults and yelling from the others, Harvey left without a care.Yuna trotted along to catch up to Harvey.Seeing this, Luke’s face darkened by a few shades. However, he didn’t stop anyone.“Prince, why are you letting him go? He disobeyed you!” A servant strode in quickly and asked out of curiosity.Smack!Luke slapped the servant hard in the face and bellowed icily, “What do you know? That man probably has some skills, so go check everything out! Investigate him thoroughly!”“Only after everything is clarified will I decide whether or not to touch him!

What did that mean?Harvey suddenly became guarded.‘I’m an upright man, so don’t you dare target me.’Yuna didn’t think that her statement was anything suspicious, so she handed Harvey an invitation card and added, “There’s a gathering tonight which requires me to bring along a male partner.”“You saw how things are for me. I have no male friends at all.”“If you’re willing to be my male partner for tonight, I’ll regard it as you repaying me the favour.”Harvey thought about her offer for a while. He asked, “Is this gathering very important to you?”Yuna nodded lightly. “Those who will be attending the gathering tonight are all big shots in Buckwood’s education industry, as well as the whole of South Light. I hope to get to know some of them.”“It’ll aid Buckwood High School’s future developments and our students to get admitted into colleges.”“Alright.”Hearing this, Harvey agreed instantly.Xynthia would be applying for colleges already next year. Maybe tonight, he could
Chapter 918
After arriving at the college town’s exhibition centre, Harvey and Yuna got out of the cab. Harvey realized that quite a number of people were staking out, probably waiting for the headmasters and chairmen of various prestigious schools. When they noticed Harvey and Yuna’s arrival, many thought of the two as competitors and shot them glares of daggers. But when they saw Yuna pulling out an invitation card, they became speechless.Who wouldn’t drive an expensive car to attend an educational gathering like this?Even those who wanted to stay low-key would at least drive an Audi or BMW. Certainly, no one else would arrive in a mere cab!Harvey and Yuna entered the banquet hall shortly after their arrival at the exhibition centre.There were people assigned specifically to check their invitation cards, who then ushered them to the entrance. “Mr. York, Ms. Yuna. The banquet is about to start. If there’s anything both of you need, you can call over any of the waiters here.”Harvey

In an educational event such as this, the security was always extremely tight.The people who went in and out of here were all big shots of the education industry. If anything went wrong here, it would reach the headlines.At Rowan Juan’s words, a few fully-armed security guards hurried over.“Sir, Miss. Please show me your invitation card, “The security requested Harvey.Harvey wiped off the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Yuna.Yuna nodded before showing the guards the invitation card from before.Seeing this, Rowan’s facial expression changed slightly. Apparently, she didn’t expect Yuna really did have an invitation card.However, she wasn’t ready to give up. She immediately suggested, “Captain! You better look properly. Maybe this invitation is stolen from somewhere!”The security captain, who was about to apologize, instantly opened the card and took a good look at it. His expression changed. “This invitation card is for Buckwood High School’s chairman, but I
Chapter 920
Rowan Juan was shocked when the security guard captain yelled at her, and put on a look as though she had been wronged.She thought revealing the true faces of this thief and conman would be for the betterment of this gathering.Why didn’t this security captain appreciate her gesture?But how could she understand his thoughts? If this problem worsened, even if it did get taken care of in the end, the captain knew he would be finished.“Sir, Miss. Please leave.”The security captain struggled to keep his cool as he gestured for Harvey and Yuna to leave.Yuna’s face became pale white. This was the first time she had attended such an event, so she didn’t know what to do under these circumstances.Harvey, on the other hand, said calmly, “If I were you now, what I would do is to investigate Miss Yuna’s true identity instead of being unreasonable and forceful.”“After all, Buckwood High School is the best high school in Buckwood. If the school headmistress gets kicked out by you and

Luke Surrey’s complexion worsened at those words.Even though he was the Prince of the Surrey family, he still dared not lash out on this occasion. He could only glare at Rowan Juan before walking out.“Gentlemen, I do know these two. But they are surely not my friends. I will not make friends with such trash.”Normally, he would still defend Yuna.However, since Yuna and Harvey had come together now, how could he flatter them?Meanwhile, the guests were all focusing on Harvey. No one noticed that the first-in-command of Buckwood, Yoel Graham, had already entered the venue.His secretary went to Buckwood High School with Yoel today, so he recognized Harvey with just one glance. He said in a low voice, “Sir Yoel, there seems to be some misunderstanding. The identity of Mr. York isn’t that simple. I think I should go and explain.”Yoel waved his hand, his expression a little solemn. After a while, he replied slowly, “Don’t do anything for the time being. Wait until the situation i
