Chapter 1519


    "It really has been a long time, but I can understand. I heard you’ve been working for the Riddle


    Corporation during the holidays. It''s understandable that you''re busy.” Snow said, trying really hard to


    portray Harvey herself as an understanding character.


    After she had spoken, she turned to Mr. Ellison, having not forgotten about him. “Hello, Mr. Ellison. I


    haven''t seen you in a while, and yet, here you are, as strong as ever."


    Mr. Ellison did not have a good impression of Snow, though she was one of the daughters of the Riddle


    family. Although she is not remotely close to Nicole in terms of her capabilities, her position in the


    Riddle family should not be overlooked nheless. It would serve him best if he could maintain a


    good rtionship with the Riddles, and so, Mr. Ellison did not treat Snow coldly.


    "Yeah, you guys may continue,” Mr. Ellison said.


    "I''ll see your grandfather for a bit. I heard that he fell sick two days ago."


    Snow was caught off guard upon seeing that Mr. Ellison was treating her politely.


    ‘Mr. Ellison actually excused himself so that I could spend more time with Harvey...Does that


    mean...that Mr. Ellison approves of my rtionship with Harvey?’ she pondered.


    As soon as she thought of that, Snow got even more excited.


    Unable to hold back, she moved in closer to Harvey, "Harvey, it seems that you do not have any


    partner tonight??Do you mind if I..."


    Usually, Snow''s faux coyness and clinginess were traits she could use to gain herself favors from just


    about anyone.


    Unfortunately, Harvey''s eyes were already set on Nicole.


    "It''s fine. I don''t need a partner. I have some friends there, so would you please excuse me?"


    As he was speaking, he turned around with a cold expression on his face and walked away.


    Snow was locked in a smile, but she could only stare nkly at Harvey as he left her and approached


    the Wyance family, who had just arrived. The Wyance family was ranked as the first family within the


    political circle. Their presence at the event had thus added a lot of ir to the room.


    However, Sebastian would soon be promoted to governor within the next few days. As it was a vtile


    period, he would not be able to attend the event on his own. Thus, Martin had represented him that


    night.


    Once Martin entered, a number of people approached him, which was something he could not manage.


    Coincidentally, he saw Harvey walking towards him, so he immediately seized it as a means of escape.


    "I''m sorry, my friend is here. I''d like to talk to him for a sec."


    As soon as he had spoken, the two men met each other.

    The instant the crowd saw Martin and Harvey standing together, none of them approached them


    thereafter.


    Martin only began speaking to Harvey once everyone else had already left.


    "Thank God you came. Otherwise, I''m not sure how to deal with those people."


    "Same," Harvey replied, not wanting to get involved with the other people as well.


    Yet, Harvey''s eyes would range across the crowds from time to time.


    "Where is Nicole? Is she at the hall?"


    “I''m not sure, but she must be at home. After all, she is the star of the show tonight.”


    “The star of the show?" Harvey asked, slightly stunned.


    ” Aren''t these people here for Mr. Riddle Sr.?"


    Hearing this, Martin instantly picked up on something. "Don''t you know?"


    Sebastian had already told Martin everything, as he was asked to represent him. He had also


    instructed Martin to be even more formal to Nicole without disying any signs of impudence."


    ''But how could Harvey not know?’ Martin thought.


    "Know about what?" Harvey said, feeling that he was kept in the dark again, much to his chagrin.


    It was then that the Bradford family arrived, with Edwin spotting Harvey once he had entered the ce.


    Then, he bade his parents goodbye at once and grouped up with the two other men. "Goodness


    gracious! It really has been a long while. Harvey, you''re here too!"


    Harvey saw Edwin. He knew that the Bradford family did not like to attend events. Previously, they


    would always ask Edwin to attend these events on their behalf. However, Edwin''s parents were also


    there for the dinner.
