The moment she got off the car, Snow sped off to the principal’s office as if she was afraid Harvey would
run away.
Her frantic pace aside, even her usual gentle smile was somewhat diminished.
Her schoolmates along the way looked at her, yet Snow had no time to bother with her usual image.
She frantically pressed the elevator button as if she would be doomed if she was a second too late.
After reaching the top floor, Snow took a deep breath and sorted her somewhat messy hair before
walking toward the principal’s office.
Yet, before a few steps in, she saw two persons standing guard by the staircase and another standing by
the principal’s office door, upright as a pine tree.
Snow looked at them in a daze and stopped.
She then said to the sturdy – looking bodyguard with a smile and said, “Hello, can I enter the principal’s
office?”.
The bodyguard responded matter-of-factly, “Miss, please state your identity.” Snow immediately said, “It’s
Harvey who called me here.
I’m…” “Please state your identity.” Snow gritted her teeth and said, “I’m Snow Riddle, of the Riddle
family.” The bodyguard frowned as he turned around and whispered to the others.
The rest of them shook their heads, and he turned back to Snow.
“I’m sorry, you are not authorized to enter.”
Snow’s expression turned dark as she heard that.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
A particularly stern voice then came from behind her.
“That means that your authorization is not high enough, and you cannot trespass.”
Snow was taken aback and then spat back angrily, “Why aren’t you letting me in? Didn’t I tell you that
Harvey called me over, don’t you understand?”
Those bodyguards just looked on impassively at Snow and said nothing.
Inside, Mr. Wyance was talking with Mr. Ellison while Harvey was by the side, fiddling with his cufflink, his
entire person seemingly sinking into an abyssal shadow.
Mr. Wyance noticed Harvey and asked curiously.
“Harvey, I heard that you went to Nottingbrook two days ago?”
Harvey did not deny it as he smiled and said, “I can’t hide anything from you, Mr. Wyance.”
Mr. Wyance guffawed as he looked at Harvey.
“Is it because of the Moon House’s Gold Session?
Harvey nodded and did not say much else.
Mr. Wyance had always been curious about those treasures.
It was a pity he did not have time, and this sudden visit was probably to ask about the matter.
Sure enough, Mr. Wyance smiled and asked, “What did you manage to find this time?”
As he was busy, he had few opportunities to personally attend the Moon House’s Gold Session, yet
every time he wanted to know what good stuff the Moon House was auctioning.
Harvey smiled gently and said, “Nothing special this time.
I managed to win the bid for the most valuable piece, the pink diamond.”
Hearing that it was just a diamond, Mr. Wyance let out a faint look of disappointment.
It was said that while diamonds are priceless, he was more into seeking out precious jadeites.
He was not interested in diamonds at all.
“If that’s the case, then I think I shouldn’t impose on you any longer.” He had already talked to Mr. Ellison
for a bit, and he should be taking his leave now.
“Harvey, please send Mr. Wyance off.”
“Alright.” Harvey nodded and rose from his seat.
