Chapter 700 Harvey said nothing, just awkwardly keeping his head bowed. He had only joined the company as an intern, learning to take over the company’s business and
making some changes, not as exaggerated as Sebastian said.
But Mr. Ellison nodded proudly. “It is indeed Harvey. He has a keen market sense. Knowing that the market is starting to saturate along the coastal area, he has thought of
investing in San Joto.”
Sebastian smiled and looked at Harvey meaningfully. ‘Investing in San Joto isn’t something everyone dares to do. This young man has got guts. But I wonder if he has the
means to see it through.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Harvey is indeed a dark horse. It looks like Mr. Ellison has a capable successor.” The three of them exchanged some pleasantries for a moment before realizing that they had
neglected Snow and Yvana. Sebastian and Yvana had not seen each other for a long time, and Yvana seemed to realize something and took the initiative to say hello. “Uncle
Sebastian, do you remember me? I’m Yvana.”
Sebastian smiled. “You have grown up and become a pretty girl. I almost couldn’t recognize
you.”
Sebastian cleverly defused the embarrassment moment. Mr. Ellison also looked at Yvana but somehow did not like her heavy makeup. Instead of symbolically complimenting
Yvana, he simply said to Harvey, “Get your classmate a glass of water.”
As Harvey nodded, Snow suddenly stepped forward. “Let me do it.”
She went into the pantry. Minutes later, she came back out with glasses of water for both Mr. Ellison and Sebastian. Snow thought she was going to get Sebastian and Mr.
Ellison’s appreciation, and Sebastian would recognize her because they had met at the party last time.
But the two of them looked at each other and changed the topic of their conversation. They did not spare a glance at Snow nor drink the water that she had brought as if
none of them recognized who she was.
Snow tightened her hand that carried the bag. She tried so hard to impress, but neither Mr. Ellison nor Sebastian spared a glance at her as if she was just a tea lady in their
eyes. Snow knew that these people looked down on her. She looked back at Harvey in tears, hoping that the man would save her from this embarrassing situation. But Harvey

Yvana was gloating over it, as Snow liked to pretend in front of her classmates, always trying to appear superior. But she was nobody in front of her uncle. Turning her head
away to pretend that she did not see her predicament, Yvana listened to the conversation, saying nothing but not embarrassed.
Snow regretted it now. At first, she wanted to impress Harvey, not expecting that she did not get a chance to talk to Sebastian. She now wished she had not come at all.
There was nothing she could do but sit on pins and needles in the principal’s office like an invisible person, feeling extremely humiliated. She did not dare to disrespect Mr.
Ellison and Sebastian by leaving just like this. If she left, Harvey would probably never want to see her again
So Snow sat awkwardly there until the few of them finished talking. As soon as they walked outside, she immediately stood up and said to Sebastian, “My name is Snow. I’m
from the Riddle family. Do you have time to have dinner with us in a while? Harvey, would you join us?”
Sebastian gave a faint response, saying, “I’m sorry, I have to attend dinner later, so I’m afraid I can join you guys.” Harvey looked at Snow indifferently, as if he had nothing to
do with her. The smile on Snow’s face faded. She did not expect that Sebastian would snub her even after she dropped the Riddle family’s name. But Snow did not know the
reason Sebastian met with the Riddle family last time. Had it not been Nicole, he would not have bothered to talk to them.
