My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Harvey gently pressed his hand to his somewhat unsettled heart and frowned in bafflement. 'Impossible! How can there be such a thing?' he said in his mind.

'I am Harvey Riddle, Mr.

Riddle Sr.'s only grandson.

I can have any woman I want.

No way I would be into such an ill mannered woman.' 2

Harvey seemed to have convinced himself.

He did not stay longer and went to his grandfather's office to meet his grandfather before going to class.

On Monday, unlike usual, the Royal Creek Institute would have a flag-raising ceremony that high school and university students would attend.

After breakfast, everyone gathered at the sports ground.

The flag-raising ceremony was about to begin when Harvey arrived.

Everyone was talking, watching Harvey come over.

Many girls screamed, and some boys could not help but look over.

Harvey smiled and walked forward with calm steps.

He found the line of his class and stood in the front.

While everyone was looking at him, a girl trotted up to him.

Harvey subtly frowned, somewhat unnerved to be disturbed in public.

When he looked down, it turned out to be Snow.

Snow looked at him with a shy smile.

"Harvey, I will see you during lunch break."

After not seeing her in two weeks, Harvey did not reject her but nodded slowly.

But at this moment, there were cheers from those behind him.

"I have said it all long: Harvey and Snow are a perfect couple." "Absolutely! This is the first time I have seen Harvey smile so gently at a girl." "I have to say that these two gentle people look great to be together." Snow listened to these words and could not hide the joy in her eyes.

She deliberately did not go out to welcome Harvey this morning.

Had she done it, no one would have noticed how special she was to Harvey.

She had to let everyone know Harvey was paying special attention to her.

Apparently, she succeeded.

Snow pursed her lips and let out a restrained, modest smile.

She thought he would feel distant after being away for two weeks.

But now, Harvey's attitude toward her had not changed much, which made Snow feel a little relieved.

She was determined to have Harvey for herself.

She tried her best to keep the title of the most beautiful girl in school just to make herself worthy of him.

As long as she had Harvey, no one at school could challenge her position.

Nicole was standing not far away and had seen what had happened.

She could not help but squint, recognizing Harvey as the man who interrupted her martial arts practice in the morning.

'No wonder he is so rude; He likes Snow.

Birds of a feather flock together, so he is unlikely to be a good person.

His handsome face will be a waste if that's the case.

All he got is his good looks.' Seeing Nicole also looking at Harvey, Lulu rushed over.

"Do you also think Harvey is charming?" It was the first time she had seen Nicole staring at a boy.

"Good looks are all he got, and having good looks doesn't mean he is capable." Nicole did not bother to look at them again. Harvey seemed to have sensed Nicole's gaze.

As soon as she looked away, he glanced in a direction and spotted Nicole.

While he was the center of attention and other people were talking about him, Nicole paid him no mind.

There was an unexplained frustration inside him.

This was the first time he experienced the taste of being slighted, and it really upset him.

But Harvey quickly collected himself and pulled back his gaze.

The flag-raising ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Unbeknownst to everyone, someone standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the parlor of the principal's office was watching the flag-raising ceremony outside. The man dug his hands into his pockets and watched the flag-raising ceremony downstairs with great interest.

He kept watching when he found the person whom he wanted to see.

It did not take long for Mr.

Ellison to return to the parlor.

"I am sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr.

Johnston.

I met my grandson just now."

"It is okay." Jared pulled back his gaze.

"Have you thought about the proposal?"

Mr.

Ellison knew Jared was talking about investment, and he smiled heartily.

"Yeah, but I think you do not know the Royal Creek Institute very well.

So I might as well take you on tour today and see if the Royal Creek Institute is a worthwhile investment." Although Mr.

Ellison said it euphemistically, he made it clear: the Royal Creek Institute did not need capital injection right now.

But Jared may take a look at it, and Mr.

Ellison would not refuse if Jared still wanted to do it.

"Okay, but can I choose someone else to show me around?" Jared raised an eyebrow and went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Mr.

Ellison was puzzled and did not know what was there for Jared to see with the flag-raising ceremony going on, and the sports ground was full of people. But hearing what Jared had said, Mr.

Ellison had put two and two together and figured there was someone among the crowd that Jared wanted to see.

Mr.

Ellison let out a benignant smile.

"I was planning to show you around myself.

Am I not a good enough tour guide for you, Mr.

Johnston?" Since Mr.

Ellison had said so, Jared raised an eyebrow and said, "It is my pleasure." Sure enough, Ellison wanted to hide and protect someone in the school. Seeing that he agreed, Mr.

Ellison stood up with no hesitation.

"Please, this way." Jared nodded gently and followed Mr.

Ellison.

The two went downstairs, and Mr.

Ellison graciously and gently introduced Jared to the architecture of and teaching in the Royal Creek Institute.

Max was following from behind, taking notes with a pen from time to time.

Further at the back were the teaching directors and grade directors, who followed with trepidation.

They looked nervously at Mr.

Ellison and Jared from behind, afraid that a mistake would upset Jared.

As they finished touring the school buildings, Mr.

Ellison walked with Jared to the sports ground.

The flag-raising ceremony was nearing the end, and everyone was about to disperse and return to the teaching buildings.

It was at this moment that a commotion rose from the back of the crowd.

"Wow! Who is this man? He is so charming!" "Yeah, he looks more charming than Harvey.

Is he from our school?" "Idiot! When you see Mr.

Ellison is so respectful toward him, you know he is not an ordinary figure." "Absolutely.

Even the teachers behind them look so nervous.

This guy must be some bigwig."

As more and more people shifted their attention to Jared, Harvey also looked back toward the rear of the sports ground.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

'It is him!'
