Chapter 1366
Vicky turned and saw a familiar face. "Harvey?" Surprise flickered in Vicky's eyes. "You're here too?"
Harvey walked up to Vicky's side in long strides. "This business banquet is quite important, so I had to make an
appearance."
Vicky chuckled. "Good for you."
Ever since she knew Harvey, she was aware of his aversion to attending banquets. When she was his fiancee, she

sneak away halfway through the event.
He had always been casual and loved his freedom; banquets were a form of torture for him.
Harvey wore a suit and looked unusually formal. However, his tie was loose and crookedly wrapped around his
neck. The top buttons of his shirt were also undone, which gave him a certain rebellious charm.
"Luckily, I ran into some familiar faces here, or I'd be bored to death," remarked Harvey with a carefree smile.
The back garden had a serene atmosphere. The gentle breeze carried the scent of flowers, creating a beautiful

Since Vicky had nothing much to do, she continued to chat with Harvey.
"I remember you said before that you wanted to become a professional car racer, and I thought..." Vicky paused,
realizing that her assumption might not be appropriate as Tyler had once sent Harvey to prison. This might just be

have a chance to pursue my dream. Who would've thought..."
He stretched lazily and continued, "Who would've thought that none of the Sparks has what it takes to run the

my cousins and siblings were worried that they might make mistakes and end up destroying the family wealth, so
they left the whole thing to me."
He clicked his tongue and continued, "Members of other powerful families fight over the family business, yet
everyone in my family is trying to avoid any involvement with it."
Vicky chuckled. "As a successor, you're exposed to tremendous stress and have to work yourself to exhaustion
every day. Your family, on the other hand, obviously prefers to sit back and enjoy the bonus without having to work
at all. They don't have to work and can all do whatever they want. If I were them, I would have done the same."
"I guess my dream to become a professional car racer is over, but you, on the other hand..." he said before turning
to look at her.
