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
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
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 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
“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.E
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
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 sta
“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
