Harvey York paid no attention to Cecilia Zachary's scathing remark and simply laughed.
"Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I do in fact have an invitation."
"Hahaha! You really do get more and more interesting by the minute." Jake Surrey pointed at Harvey York." I've met a lot of show offs, but one who goes this far is truly rare. Look, if you can show us your invitation right now, I’ll leave this place straight away and not say another word. But if you lose, you get out. What do you say?" 1
Jake Surrey's lips curved into a tiny smirk.
"Listen, kid. If I were you, I'd turn around and leave right away to avoid further embarrassment to your wife."
Wyatt Johnson grinned. "Mr. Surrey, you forget. What sort of self-respect does a live-in son-in-law have left? Every bit of it is long gone by now!"
Harvey York chuckled nervously, saying, "Fine, let's gamble. I'd like to see who leaves next."
As he spoke, he reached into his pocket. The next second, his body froze. Though he did indeed bring his invitation, it was kept inside the pocket of his suit which he had left in the car. 1
Thus, Harvey was unable to show his invitation.
"Hahahaha!” Jake Surrey exploded into uncontrollable laughter. Never had he seen a poser fail so miserably. " Kid, I really do admire you. You even managed to sneak in here without an invitation. Now, scram!"
Wyatt Johnson laughed along coldly.
'This Harvey York truly is a kept man. Even his mistress refused to speak up for him. I'm different. Not only did Madam York allow me to attend the auction on my own, she also gave me a credit card to spend on whatever I want.'
Wyatt Johnson found slight relief at the thought.
A furious waiter walked up to Harvey. "Sir, if you do not have an invitation, the Mountain Top Auction will have to kindly ask you to leave."
Those were the rules of this place.
Not waiting for Harvey to utter a single word in response, the waiter called security to send Harvey away.
"Harvey..." Mandy Zimmer managed to say.
Commercial Bank, Dawson Robbins, was pacing back and forth in a VIP lounge while staring at his watch.
"Why isn’t Mr. York here yet...?"
For Dawson, today is the best day to make an acquaintance with Mr. York. In his opinion, this CEO o f York Enterprise was not only young and promising, but also an extremely discreet individual.
'Young people nowadays turn so arrogant as soon as they get a little bit of money, but not Mr. York. Even if he had hundreds of millions of dollars, he would never forget his roots. He likes wearing stall bought goods, and looks like an ordinary person to boot.'
To Dawson, it is people like Harvey who do honest work and accomplish great things. Dawson Robbins would not hold any other simple-minded rich heirs to such a high regard. 1
Mr. York did not show up even after quite a while, and Dawson was beginning to grow anxious.
Without a second thought, he hurriedly gave Yvonne Xavier a call.
"Hello? Miss Xavier? Is Mr. York free to pick up the phone right now?" He said, while smiling on the phone. "May I ask where you are right now? Do you need me to escort you here?"
