Chapter 3951

Ellen was surprised as well; she didn’t think that Harvey was actually this capable.

“You have a pretty good attitude. At least you can admit to your own faults.”

Harvey smiled while he wrote something on paper before throwing it to Finley.

“when I ate this dish before, I knew that there was something that should’ve been added.”

“Not only will the taste be better, but this accident also won’t happen either.”

Harvey turned around and left after that.

Finley lowered his head before seeing “quail eggs” written on paper; he froze before coming to his senses seconds after.

The size of the egg was smaller, but the blast of the ingredients would only remain in the mouth; the airways wouldn’t be affected at all.

This was a simple change, but it was enough to deal with the problem once and for all.

Finley couldn’t help but raise his thumb.

“You’re amazing! Truly amazing!”

Noemi froze after hearing Finley’s words; she didn’t think Harvey was actually this impressive.

Ellen was stunned as well.

“Harvey! Do you actually know this dish?” she instinctively asked after going after him.

“Of course not.”

Harvey turned around with a smile on his face.

“I only read the recipe on the Empire’s well-known website about the dish.”

Ellen stopped in her footsteps after hearing Harvey’s words; a hint of disappointment could be seen on her face.

She thought Harvey actually had a hidden identity. She thought they’d have a chance together.

But no matter how capable Harvey was, he was just a chef and medicine seller who got lucky.

The two would never be compatible…

After leaving Blackburn City Hotel, Harvey went back to the store to prepare for the opening of the business.

He got Irene to send a few disciples from Longmen’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branches who had experience with medicine to help with some samples.

Katy was struggling quite a bit because of everything that happened; she had to stay with Dean the whole time, but she still insisted on sending more men for Harvey.

Ellen, who felt extremely guilty, came to help in the store. Not only did she find journalists to advertise the place, but she even helped Harvey get a few billboards up.

Harvey declined, but Ellen thought he was just being too narrow- minded about his incident with Noemi. Harvey sighed; he had no choice but to let Ellen do whatever she wanted.

“Come with me to the Budokan, Harvey.”

The next afternoon, everything in the store was basically done and all that was left was the opening.

Ellen had nothing to do after that, so she decided to take Harvey around.

Harvey sighed.

“Why are we going there again?”

“There’s something you don’t know. Martial arts are very prevalent here! A lot of people like to train!”

‘The Budokan here is under the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.”

“We should go together. Help me get a good teacher! You can teach me how to do things there, right?”

Ellen kept swaying Harvey’s arm around; she looked as if she was about to cry if Harvey didn’t humor her and follow her along. After hearing the organization’s name, Harvey nodded.

“Fine. I’ll come along.” He wanted to decline, but after thinking about the situation for a while, he wanted to see how different the Budokans under the organization were compared to Country H.

“Great!”

Ellen was exhilarated.

“Let’s go together!”

Chapter 3950

Ellen couldn’t hold back her feelings any longer.

“You should really apologize, Harvey. Don’t anger Mr. Finley!” she exclaimed after a moment’s hesitation.

“You won’t get another chance later!”

Noemi couldn’t help but shoot a deathly glare at Ellen; she thought her daughter was completely blind for helping Harvey.

Finley was a bit angry as well; he believed he had already given the young man in front of him another chance, and yet…

Harvey clearly didn’t know how to cherish it.

Once again, Harvey smiled.

“Mr. Finley, your Truffled Eggs should be ingested in three minutes as soon as the lids are opened, right?”

“That’s right. The taste is the most mysterious at that timing,” Finley replied coldly.

“You say that, but it’s actually not as mysterious as it seems.”

“The egg would explode in the mouth, and everything inside would then turn powder-like without any chewing. This is the refreshing and unique taste you were talking about, right?”

Finley froze; he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. This was exactly why the dish was special. Nobody would know this without tasting it beforehand…

Yet, Harvey managed to figure it out.

“For other people, this is indeed an exquisite feast. In fact, it’s a rare delicacy. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it food for the gods.”

“But what does this dish mean for a person with tuberculosis?”

“The food will instantly spread throughout that person’s mouth and airways.”

“The congealed butter will clog the organs.”

“What a patient with tuberculosis needs first and foremost is fresh air.”

“Once your dish does all that, the lungs will be in the most danger”

“Tell me, do you think that person’s going to die after that?”

Finley’s expression changed the moment he heard that. He instinctively looked at Noemi.

“Do you have tuberculosis, Mrs. Moreno?”

“It’s not a problem…” Noemi replied, though her eyes twitched. Finley’s arrogant and distant look on his face disappeared, and he quickly waved his hand. The staff quickly grabbed the dishes and left soon after.

He let out a sigh of relief; he bowed to Harvey and wiped the sweat off his face.

“I was being reckless!”

“I’m so sorry!”

“You were right!”

“When the dish was passed down to me, my teacher told me that people with tuberculosis aren’t allowed to eat it.”

“I was serving people from the upper social circle. Everyone seemed healthy, so I forgot about this completely!”

“If it wasn’t for you, I’d be making a huge mistake!”

“I’m truly sorry about this! In the future, everything here is free if you plan to eat here!”

Finley was truly grateful. If it wasn’t for Harvey, someone would’ve actually died here. If that were to happen, not only would the business be shut down…

Finley would also be chased down by the furious people from the South Sea.

He didn’t want to spend the rest of his life trying to make a living for himself.

The rest of the people there looked at Harvey in surprise; they didn’t expect him to actually be right.

‘Maybe he actually tasted the dish before…’

‘More importantly, Mr. Finley owes him a huge favor!’

‘He’s a great connection to have!’

Chapter 3949

“Slander?” Harvey looked calmly at Finley, unperturbed by the scorn he was facing.

“These are Truffled Eggs of the royal family, yes?” Finley frowned.

“That’s right.”

Harvey took a step forward.

“The ingredients I pointed out are all correct too, right?” Finley’s eyes twitched.

“That’s right. Only I know this dish. Nobody else would know what’s in it, other than the people who ate it!”

Noemi and the others froze; they looked at Harvey with odd expressions.

‘Did this country bumpkin actually have this dish before?’

‘He’s just a country bumpkin, though! Maybe he’s attended the Empire’s banquets before…’

Ellen’s eyes lit up; she was certain Harvey probably had another identity.

“You’re pretty impressive, young man.”

Finley called himself down after pondering for a moment.

“That said, you still have to apologize.”

“Is that so?” Harvey replied casually.

“I admit, you’re pretty capable if you can recognize this dish that well.”

Finley crossed his arms with a distant look on his face.

“But if I remember correctly, I must’ve made this exact dish when I retired a few years ago; a TV station did interview me about this.”

“If ’m guessing correctly, you must’ve seen that.”

“Not only did I say the name of the dish there, I even pointed out every single ingredient that went in it.”

“It’s a shame I can’t explain the taste to the public since it’s confidential.”

Finley put on a pitiful look.

“You just got lucky you happen to know the ingredients! This means nothing! It’s just a coincidence.”

“Since you’re able to point out the name of the dish and its ingredients, I don’t need you to kneel. All I want is an apology!”

After hearing Finley’s explanation, the guests looked at Harvey with growing disdain.

‘So he was just lucky enough to see the dish being shown on TV!’

‘People who don’t know might just think that he actually ate the dish before!’

‘How can someone like him have such an exquisite dish in the first place?’

‘Even us elites need to wait our turn!’

A lot of women were glancing seductively at Finley.

‘As expected from a man of the Empire’s royal family! What a gentleman…’

‘This country bumpkin keeps being so disrespectful. He’s even saying that Mr. Finley’s dish will kill people…’

‘But Mr. Finely doesn’t even care! All he asked was an apology. How sophisticated and graceful he is!’

Harvey only smiled.

“Are you really that sure your dish won’t kill?”

Finley frowned; he was getting a little mad.

“The Queen ate this exact dish dozens of times already! If she died from this, I would’ve been shot to death!”

“Enough nonsense, Harvey!”

Noemi managed to calm down.

“We have nothing against Mr. Finley. In fact, we all respect him very much! Why would he hurt us in the first place?”

The others nodded; they were sure that Harvey was just some clown trying to show off.

‘He’s just saying all this to impress us so he can get together with Ellen!’

Yet, Harvey seemed so ridiculous and naive to them.

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3948

Chapter 3948

Finley paused in his tracks when he heard Harvey’s words.

‘I’ll die if she eats it?’

Noemi and the others were frightened; they instinctively looked at the egg in front of them with a wary gaze.

“Mr. Finley’s dish can kill?”

‘How is that possible?’

After the initial shock, the people quickly came to their senses; they thought Harvey was just trying to scare them to get more attention.

“What are you even saying?!”

“Do you know who Mr. Finley is? He’s the royal chef of the Empire! The head chefs of the royal family are all his students!”

“And yet, you’re saying that his dishes are going to kill?!”

“Not only are you slandering Mr. Finley’s abilities, you’re also slandering the entire royal family of the Empire!”

“Do you think you’re some big character when you’re just a country bumpkin?!”

“You talk like you know everything! Have you ever seen a truffle? Do you even know what caviar is?”

“Kneel and apologize! If not, you’ll have to crawl your way out of here!”

A few people started frowning.

After all, Finley wasn’t just any head chef; he was the royal chef of the Empire, for pity’s sake!

A prominent figure like him wouldn’t be able to stand such slander from a small fry!

If Finley got furious and decided not to return, where else would the people go for such exquisite meals from the Empire?

They’d probably turn into Blackburn City’s biggest joke, too!

‘He only sells medicine! Does he think that he’s God?!’

‘He probably checked for the meal’s ingredients ahead of time!’

“How dare you act so high and mighty instead of humbling yourself? Do you really think you’re that impressive?”

Noemi flashed him a frosty glare.

‘Kneel and apologize! If not, I’ll get the security guards to throw you out myself!”

“I’ll chase you out of the damn country, too! You won’t get another chance to embarrass everyone else here!”

Ellen’s hand, which was holding a fork, trembled.

“Apologize to Mr. Finley already, Harvey!” she exclaimed, tugging on Harvey’s sleeve.

“You can’t just slander a prominent figure like that!”

“Mr. Finley’s a generous man! He’ll definitely forgive you if you apologize.”

Finley slowly turned around, glaring coldly at Harvey.

“You want me to kneel and apologize?”

Harvey turned to Finley as well, a small smile crossing his lips.

“You should ask Mr. Finley if he can take an apology from me instead.”

“Are you still showing off even right now?”

“Why wouldn’t he be able to take that from you?” Noemi exclaimed, agitated.

“All you did was spout a bunch of nonsense before slandering him! It’s only natural for you to kneel and apologize!”

“If you don’t ask for his forgiveness today, we won’t let you get off that easily!”

“The other guests here will chase you down to the ends of the earth!”

“You’re ruining our idol’s image, after all!”

“Yeah!”

The others glared furiously at Harvey.

The rest of the guests were looking at him coldly as well.

‘Mr. Finley’s dish kills people?’

‘Is that man just making fun of those people for being uneducated? There’s no way a conman could actually be this impressive…’

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3947

Chapter 3947

Ellen couldn’t even speak up after hearing her mother’s words.

She knew those words weren’t just nonsense.

In the first place, she was only throwing a fit for saying that she wanted to be with

Harvey.

After seeing the look on Ellen’s face, Noemi knew that Ellen was swayed.

Thus, she wanted to go all out and make sure that Harvey’s will was thoroughly

crushed.

“He doesn’t even know how to use a knife and fork, let alone live with you for the rest

of your life!”

“How could you hope to stay with him when he doesn’t even have common knowledge?”

“Are you planning to eat roasted sweet potatoes with a savage like him forever?”

“Are you sure you can handle that?”

Ellen remained silent; she knew full well that her lifestyle was completely different

than Harvey’s.

She wouldn’t be able to handle eating the same thing for the rest of her life.

At this moment, an elderly blonde man with well-kempt hair in a tuxedo pushed out a

tray.

Steaming hot iron plates were placed in front of Noemi and the others, with lids. covering what was inside.

Even so, the sizzling sounds of butter could still be heard from inside.

The fragrant smell burst out in an instant, making everyone crave for the food inside.

The elderly man showed a warm smile.

“Mrs. Moreno, this is the best dish from the Empire that I can make. I’d normally only make this for the queen’s birthday.”

The high and mighty Noemi instantly changed expressions after hearing those words; the cold and distant look on her face was replaced with a warm smile.

“Thank you for

your hospitality, Mr. Finley,” she said respectfully.

Chaple

“Thank you for such a wonderful meal, Mr. Finley. We spent the entire night giving. you likes in your friend group for this!” the others exclaimed, grinning foolishly.

Finley burst out laughing, crossing his arms, a prideful look on his face.

“Your happiness is the most important thing to me! I can guarantee that you’ve never experienced this before!”

He waved his hand, and the waiters lifted the lids.

Exquisite platings could be seen on the table, as if they were elegant paintings.

A seemingly ordinary-looking egg was placed in the middle of the plates; the surface of the eggs were swaying ever-so-slightly.

Noemi was in no rush to grab her utensils. At the same, she glanced disdainfully at Harvey

“Ellen, ask your friend here if he knows what this dish is,” she said with a mocking smile.

“If he even knows how to eat this thing, I’ll admit defeat.”

The others smiled derisively when they looked at Harvey.

In their eyes, a country bumpkin like him wouldn’t know how the upper social circle. worked.

‘He probably doesn’t even know how to hold a knife and fork!”

‘He might just ask for a spoon soon enough!”

Ellen instinctively looked at Harvey; she wanted to speak up for him, but she couldn’t even open her mouth.

Harvey glanced at the table with a calm look on his face.

“The Empire’s Truffled Eggs.”

“It’s made with eggs from newborn hens with truffles from the Siberian Plains, together with Northern Europe caviar.”

“It has an exquisite taste and a long-lasting flavor.”

“Even the Queen herself wouldn’t be able to have this for more than a few times each year.”

“It is quite a rare delicacy in the Empire.”

“That said, you’re quite unlucky. If you eat this, you’ll die without a doubt.”

Chapter 3946

“I’m saying this not because I’m desperately trying to get together with Ellen.”

“She may be your daughter, but she’s also a living being.”

“She has her own life.”

“She has the right to choose how she lives.”

“If you want me to leave, then so be it.”

“However, only if Ellen wants the same.”

“I’m not leaving if she’s not saying anything.”

“She was the one who got me here in the first place; not you, and not the others either!”

Harvey showed a calm expression when he stood up for Ellen.

Judging from Noemi’s behavior, he knew that she had a strong desire for control.

If this were to continue, Ellen’s life would be completely ruined.

As a friend, Harvey knew that he had to give Noemi a warning.

He didn’t care about anything else then.

Ellen had an odd expression when she looked at Harvey; her heart instantly skipped a beat.

She didn’t think Harvey would care for her this much to stand up for her.

He didn’t even stand down against her mother, an extremely prominent figure.

Ellen couldn’t help but sigh in secret.

If it weren’t for Harvey’s poor background, she would’ve given him her entire life.

After hearing Harvey’s lectures, Noemi’s glare turned a lot colder.

She didn’t look up to him at all; her disdain only grew stronger.

A prince or a young master would naturally have the right to say something like that…

But a country bumpkin would only turn himself into a joke for saying such a thing.

Noemi held her exquisite nose high, her face the epitome of arrogance as she stared down at Harvey

Chapter 3946

“There’s no point in pestering me, Harvey,” she exclaimed coldly.

“Your grandiose words are enough to fool the kids, but it won’t be enough to do anything to us.”

“Let me tell you this one last time!”

“You and Ellen are from two different worlds!”

“People like you have no future!”

“As a mother and as a member of the Moreno family, I’ll never allow a dangerous man like you to be with Ellen!”

Noemi was being extremely fierce.

“If you still don’t know what’s best for you-if you’re still going for someone way out of your league…”

“My daughter can bring you up, but I can easily rip you to shreds as well.”

In Noemi’s eyes, Harvey was just a kept man clinging onto Ellen and taking advantage of her.

She felt nothing but disgust and hate toward a man like him.

She turned to Ellen with a cold glare.

“Of course we have to repay the favor, but money alone can solve just that.”

“You’ll turn yourself into a joke if you give your entire life to this man!”

“Movies are filmed this way to trick ignorant children!”

“You shouldn’t hang out with someone like him anymore! You’re from two different worlds!”

“A medicine seller wouldn’t be able to keep up with a woman from the upper social circle!”

“All he does is sell medicine!”

“He has no chance!”

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3945

Chapter 3945

“You need to listen, Ellen!”

“Even if you do your best to pull someone like this into our circle…”

“He’s still completely out of place! The smell of medicine on him will only make everyone stay away!”

“Your mother, along with the entire family, will become the South Sea’s biggest joke because of your recklessness!”

“Even if you don’t care about your family, at least think of your mother!”

“She already has a hard time within the family. You’re making it harder for her if you do something like this, aren’t you?”

After seeing Ellen Moreno’s helpless look, a third person jumped in before coldly glaring at Harvey York.

“I’m sure you know yourself enough, kid.

“We can pay you some respect and support your business. We’ll buy fifteen thousand dollars worth of your goods for our dogs to use…

“But don’t even think you can be in our league just by selling some medicine!

“There are some things that you own since birth!

“And there are things you can never have your entire life!

“Do you understand me?”

The person showed a faint smile before sipping her wine.

She thought that she was clear enough.

In their social circle, their birth was enough to dictate a person’s entire life.

Harvey could not be bothered explaining anything. He was not mad because of the people constantly insulting him either. All he did was remain silent with a calm look on his face.

After all, judging from Ellen’s perspective, those people were only protecting her.

Harvey decided to let this one slide since Ellen had been such a big help. He could not be bothered to deal with these people.

That said, Harvey’s casual attitude made Noemi Moreno look more arrogant than

Charl

before.

Noemi had been with a lot of men for a long time.

She had been countless prominent figures from the government, bosses with massive businesses, and young and vigorous talents, among others.

These so-called successful people had their own pride. They could not afford to have their dignity crushed.

Even the people who had the patience to wait to take their revenge would always grit their teeth while boiling in anger…

But Harvey did not even speak up about the situation. In Noemi’s eyes, he was just completely shameless at that point.

‘A kept man like him has no shame at all!’

Whatever was left of Noemi’s gratitude instantly disappeared. She was filled with disgust when she glared at Harvey.

She sized up Harvey with a disdainful expression before she clicked her tongue.

“Are you not going to say anything after so long?

“Or are you saying that you don’t even dare to speak up in front of us?”

Harvey could not be bothered to speak, but after seeing Ellen’s helpless look on her face, he heaved a sigh.

“Me being with Ellen or not…

“And the man she chooses…

“Is none of your business.

“In this day and age, love is all about freedom.

“Ellen has the right to decide for her own marriage!

“She’s an adult! She can take responsibility for her own decisions!”

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3944

Chapter 3944

After looking at Noemi Moreno’s faint smile, the card with a hint of fragrance, and the people around showing playful expressions…

Harvey York merely chuckled.

He was only brought here to be broken up with Ellen Moreno.

That said, he had no intention of being together with her.

The two only became friends out of pure coincidence.

He only came here to thank Ellen for everything she had done for the past few days.

Harvey was planning to thank Noemi in person. He was just about to tell Ray Hart to treat her nicely as well…

But after seeing such a horrible attitude, he could not help but frown.

In reality, Harvey did not mind Noemi’s words at all. After all, he and Ellen were not couples in the first place. All he needed to do was to explain the entire situation.

That said, he was in a bad mood when she saw Noemi’s expression, as if she was trying to tell off some kept man.

Right when he turned around, Ellen immediately got angry!

She stood up and tenderly held Harvey’s hand.

“You’re crossing the line, Mother!

“I brought him here because you asked for him!

“How could you do this to him?!

“Besides, he saved your life. He even saved mine a few days ago!

“No matter how incompatible we are, he’s still our savior! We should always repay the favor! How do you not understand that?!

“Besides, he’s still better than Eden Cobb anyway! You were the one who introduced him to me, remember?!

“At least he’s not scum! He wouldn’t just hook up with anyone he pleases!

“He’s an honest man! I like him!”

Ellen’s face was bright red. She was utterly furious at her mother’s words. It was as if

she was ready to go against Noemi by saying those things.

Noemi did not expect that her own daughter would even start questioning her. After looking deep into Harvey’s eyes, she coldly glared at Ellen.

“Who taught you to say these things, Ellen?

“Did you already forget what I taught you?

“Are we not civilized people?”

“Sigh! You two should cut it out already…

A person in a purple dress sipped her wine before smiling warmly in front of Ellen.

“I’ll have to be fair, Ellen.”

“Your mother told you all this for your own good. She’s thinking about your future!”

“This person named Harvey…”

“He did help you two quite a bit. He deserves some credit…”

“But that’s no grounds to be tied to him for the rest of your life.”

“It’s already enough that you’re letting him use your store for free, but you even renovated the whole thing and worked around the clock just for him…”

“If that still isn’t enough, your mother can even give him the store for free.”

“It’s only a few million dollars. Your family can afford to give that money away anyway

“You’re the lady of the family! You can’t just do something that you’ll regret just to repay a small favor!”

“Oh, Ellen! You need to understand that we’re on a different level here!” said another

person.

“Ordinary people just can’t hang out with people of our caliber…”

Ellen was furious.

“Harvey isn’t ordinary! He has a medicine store!”

“A medicine store?

The person who spoke up let out a scoff.

“What right does he have to be in the upper social circle when he only sells

medicine?” 1

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3943

Chapter 3943

Ellen Moreno was a little worried. She knew that her mother despised people like Harvey York…

But she was the one who dragged him here in the first place.

It was extremely disrespectful of Noemi Moreno to leave Harvey like this.

That said, Ellen had no way to speak up on an occasion like this.

After ten minutes or so, the conversation finally ended.

Noemi showed a faint smile when she glanced at Harvey. After looking at the Cartier Balloon Bleu watch on her wrist, she squinted at Harvey with a playful look.

A few others glanced at him with disdainful and arrogant gazes as well.

“I managed to figure out my body’s problem because of you last time.

“I’ll properly thank you for that,” thanked Noemi calmly.

She was acting as if her lungs failing was not that big of a problem in the first place.

This was only natural. With her family’s status, it would not be hard for her to be properly treated as long as she did not stress herself.

She thought that Harvey only got lucky. She also believed that Harvey’s bad luck was the thing that caused her lungs to fail. 2

Even though she seemed grateful on the outside, an unbearable disdain could still be

felt in her heart.

Harvey’s calm look on his face was enough to make Noemi frown.

She wanted her daughter to be married into a wealthy family.

‘Even if she can’t be married to the boss of the Sky Corporation and the Kaizen Group, at least she has to be with some prince or young master…

‘What’s the point of being with this country bumpkin here?

‘If I guess correctly, the clothes were all bought just before. My dear daughter probably bought everything just for him too…’

Without a second thought, Noemi was showing an expression as cold as ice.

Harvey did not expect that Noemi was filled with so many thoughts in her mind.

“Don’t mention it, Aunty…”

“Hold on. We’re not that close.

“Call me Mrs. Moreno or CEO Moreno.

“Forget calling me Aunty.”

Noemi immediately cut off Harvey.

Then, she swirled her glass around before taking a sip of her wine.

“I brought you here to tell you something important,” said Noemi with her delicate red lips.

“You can tell that my daughter here is always pampered. She’s a true lady of a wealthy family!

“To put it simply, she’s a woman with extremely high standards.

“And you? I’ve looked into your history before. Your identity, status, and background all say you’re just a country bumpkin. You’re just a poor sob from Country H at best.

“My daughter’s an approachable and beautiful lady, but who in the right mind would marry anyone below their standards?

“That’s why I’m hoping you’ll let her go.

“Of course, to show my apology, I’ll ensure you’re being treated properly as well!”

Noemi calmly pulled out a card from her Chanel bag.

She lightly tapped on the card with a faint smile.

“Here are seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars. You wouldn’t be able to make this much money your entire life.

“The password is six eights.

“If

you promise to leave my daughter alone, you can take this away and enjoy your riches for the rest of your life.

“You have it pretty well despite only being with my daughter briefly.”

Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3942

Chapter 3942

After taking a closer look, Harvey York saw Noemi Moreno standing in the middle of those fashionable people.

She was wearing an exquisite dress that showed off her pale and slender legs. It was an extremely eye-catching sight, to say the least.

Along with the distinct and colorful fashionable people gathered together like ripe peaches…

The men could not help but glue their eyes to the sight.

It was a shame nobody dared to step up.

After all, the second lady of the Moreno family was quite a prominent figure.

Ordinary men would not be able to get ahold of her. Even some of the princes and young masters would be daunted by the sight.

The woman was just like a rose…

She seemed extremely attractive, but her thorns would start showing if anyone got a

little too close to her.

Without having absolute confidence, who would even dare do something like that?

“Mother!”

Ellen Moreno hopped her way toward her.

“Hello, everyone,” she greeted respectfully.

“You’re here.”

Noemi pointed at a seat without even looking at Ellen.

“Sit,” said Noemi calmly.

After that, she kept talking to the people around her without even batting an eye toward Harvey.

Harvey was completely ignored. He was forced to stand aside since there were no

more seats in the box.

Simply put, Harvey was put in a very awkward position.

For any ordinary man, this would be extremely humiliating. Some would even walk away in anger after getting into the situation.

That said, Harvey remained perfectly calm. After enduring three whole years of the Zimmer family’s treatment, he had seen everything.

He would not bother about such a trivial matter.

Harvey casually took out his phone while he leaned on the side of the door to read the news. ↑

Ellen wanted to get someone to bring another chair, but she would not dare say a word after Noemi showed her a cold glare.

The others kept swirling their glasses around while they chatted happily without even looking in Harvey’s direction.

“I heard you started talking with Sir Ray Hart from the Sky Corporation, Noemi! You’ll be the only person they invest in the entire country soon enough!”

“The Sky Corporation is a massive company! You’ll be rich if you actually get their exclusive rights!”

“Yeah! With their funds, you can invest in whoever you want! When that happens, you can crush all three great families of the South Sea on your own!”

“No matter how great their businesses are, they’re no match against the Sky Corporation!”

“Right! I heard Mordu’s Kaizen Group is interested in opening up business here! That’s a big fish in the entertainment industry!”

“Making a few movies with them would net anyone a hundred and fifty million dollars a year at least!”

“I heard people say that the Sky Corporation and the Kaizen Group have the same boss! He’s quite the young and handsome man as well!”

“Ellen’s a beautiful young lady. Maybe she has a chance to be the man’s wife! Your reputation will skyrocket when that happens!”

The people were constantly chuckling, as if they had complete control over everything.

Their high and mighty attitude was enough to afflict immense pressure on the people walking by.
