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

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

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

“Prince Surrey, outsiders say that you always are arrogant since you’re a young upstart. It seems you already have the charisma of Prince York!”“You were born in the wrong era! If you entered society three years earlier, then Prince York’s got no business being in Buckwood!”“Yes! It seems that the outside world has highly exaggerated Prince York’s abilities. In truth, you’re the one who is young and successful!”The crowd around also began to praise Luke.After all, Luke did show them some respect. Naturally, they had to return the favor.As for the comparison with Prince York, this was quite normal.After all, Prince York was the number one man in all of South Light.Listening to these people comparing himself with the legendary Prince York, Luke couldn’t help but feel complacent.Being compared to Prince York was the highest honor in South Light.Didn’t Leon Silva claim he was the closest to Prince York back then?“Gentlemen, stop flattering me too much. I know very well

Rowan Juan, who was on the sidelines, found the whole thing very interesting.She never thought that things would reach this point.How dare that coquettish Yuna’s lover hit Luke Surrey?He was definitely asking for death!Now, the situation has escalated this far. Not only was this man going to die, but Yuna would also end up just as badly.After all, Luke was not as suave as he seemed to be.“Who are you? How dare you hit Prince Surrey!” Rowan ran to Luke’s side with a concerned look. She pointed angrily at Harvey and cursed, “Do you know who he is? Do you know his status?” Secretly, she was hoping that things would get worse.Luke’s eyes were ice.To him, the looks of the people around him were all a mockery.They were all taunting him!His rationale began to fade away. Right now, he couldn’t wait to slaughter Harvey.The security guards were dumbfounded. They never expected that Harvey would dare to hit Luke, even going as far as to slap the latter.It wasn’t just that

“Sir Yoel, I don’t care whether their invitations are real or otherwise, or whatever their status may be. Since they dared to hit me, they owe me an explanation!”Luke Surrey exclaimed furiously.Yoel narrowed his eyes at Luke and replied indifferently, “Prince Surrey, I’m afraid you still don’t know who is standing in front of you.”“I’m telling you. He’s a noble person who even I, Yoel Graham, have to respect!”“I know what happened. You started the whole mess. You deserve to be hit!”“I urge you to kneel right this instant now apologize to Mr. York. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”So saying, Yoel nodded respectfully at Harvey’s direction and went to greet Harvey. The sight stunned every single person in the hall.Even Yoel Graham respected Harvey so much. Who was this young man?“Yoel Graham! What do you mean?!”“You think you can run trample all over the Surreys just because you’re the first-in-command of Buckwood?”“Let me warn you! It’s only a matter of a few words from
