The man in the white suit was none other than Edmund Harvey.
Edmund Harvey was the Young Master of the Harvey Family and had donned the nickname of Prince.
When Edric Carman saw Edmund Harvey, he trembled with fright and spoke in a shaky tone, "Young Master Harvey, why are you here?"
Edmund scanned the compartment with a half-smile. He sneered when he saw Nathan Cross and Penny Smith before he soon directed his gaze towards Edric. "You recognize me?"
Edric let out a flattering smile as he answered, "Of course I recognize you. You're the Young Master of the Harvey Family, also known as the Prince!"
Edmund nodded. "Who are you?"
Edric continued buttering him up and announced, "My name is Edric Carman. I am but a humble general manager of the Johnstone Hotel."
"You threatened my people earlier, didn't you?” Edmund questioned.
Edric's face instantly paled as he heard this. His voice quivered, "It's a misunderstanding, Young Master Harvey. I didn't know they were your people. I wouldn't dare do that to your people."
Edmund nodded yet again. "That's true. Who's she to you?"
Edmund pointed his index finger towards Penny. When Edric saw who he was pointing at, he hurriedly replied, "She's my cousin!”
Edmund smiled and announced, "I'm going to take your cousin out for some fun. I assume that you don't have any objections?"
Edric was taken aback when he heard Edmund. He immediately knew that this playboy was attracted to his cousin's beauty.
He shook his head. "No objections at all. You can take her away and do as you
please, Young Master Harvey."
Penny was furious when she heard this. "Edric! You!"
Edric lowered his head, choosing to avoid eye contact with Penny. The truth was that he had also coveted Penny. However, Master Harvey had already set his eyes on her. Edric simply could not compete against him.
Edmund stretched his hand out and patted Edric's face. He was pleased with his attitude, so he smiled vaguely and pronounced, "I see that you're smart enough to take a hint. Look at my leather shoes. They seem dirty. Now, what shall we do about that?"
"Let me help you wipe it off, Young Master Harvey!" Edric exclaimed as he knelt hastily.
