Chapter Forty-Nine: Jealousy

Harvey knows that Cathy's identity is naturally because of the influence of the social world, who doesn't know an existence that is equal to a star in the social world?

I was surprised that Kathy knew his name, Harvey, who had been dissolute before, but it was still the norm in the social world, and why should the heir of a declining family be remembered by others, or a member of the Elroy family.

Cathy's self-introduction is also very interesting, and he does not directly say his surname and identity, which is quite humble in the eyes of outsiders.

Elroy.

Harvey already had an instinctive precaution against this surname, and quietly shook hands with him and smiled humorously: "Oh, I know that you are Kathy Elroy, the coveted husband of many boudoir girls, who doesn't know the stars of the social scene in Elroy City, but I am a little flattered that you know my name." ”

The indifferent tone didn't make any noise, but there was certainly no sense of respect.

Cathy smiled at Harvey in return: "I learned your name from Diana, she's my friend, but I didn't even know she had your fiancé before. ”

"Oh, you must be from the same university."

"Yes."

Universities are not uncommon in the present era, and are one of the best ways for ordinary nobles and commoners to gild and advance. However, universities are a product of the new era, and the traditional aristocracy, as representatives of the old era, rarely let their children go to university, especially since some universities promote the idea that everyone is equal in the eyes of the nobility and heresy.

"You're that Harvey Adrian? I've heard that you're a well-known playboy in the social world, and that you're pretty good at hooking up with widows, and I'd like to learn from you. Haha, it's just the heir of a declining nobleman..." Debauched laughter came from behind Cathy, and one of his male friends stepped forward and grinned, looking at Harvey with contempt.

"York, how can you talk to Mr. Adrian like that." Cathy turned her head and whispered angrily.

The young man named York looked dissatisfied: "Originally, I really don't know what qualifications such a person has to be worthy of Diana." ”

Cathy reluctantly turned his head and bowed to Harvey with an embarrassed look and apologized: "I apologize to you for my friend's frivolous and rude words, he has always been unable to control his mouth, but his words have absolutely no malice. ”

No malice?

One sings red face and the other sings white face, there are many acts in the movie, and Harvey doesn't care and waves his hand and says lightly: "Of course I don't care, what he said is the truth, isn't it?" If you're really interested in asking for advice, I can teach you a few hands. ”

The young man sneered disdainfully: "Sure enough, he is just a shameless person, even though he has a fiancée as good as Diana, he still has to go out and hook up with a widow." ”

Christie, who did not join the conversation behind her, closed the folding fan in her hand and watched the scene expressionlessly.

"York, shut up!" Cathy shouted in an accentuated tone.

The gloomy surprise on Cathy's face was fleeting, and she chuckled at Harvey, "You're so humorous. I'm here to invite Miss Christy Isaiah to the banquet that our school will hold the day after tomorrow, I wonder if Mr. Adrian would be interested in joining us? This banquet will be attended by our students from Anse Air University, and of course some nobles and celebrities will also be invited, and it will be more lively for someone of status like you to attend. ”

Harvey couldn't understand what medicine was sold in the handsome young man's gourd in front of him for the time being, and he didn't dare to be interested, so he shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, now I'm planning to quit the social world, and I don't plan to participate in social activities such as banquets." ”

Cathy gave Harvey a deep look: "I'm so sorry, I was abrupt." ”

······

- Was the conflict between himself and the Elroy family caused by jealousy?

Leaving the theater, Harvey walked and analyzed the conversation with Cathy just now, if Harvey Adrian in the past was estimated to have been out of appearance in this conversation, with Harvey Adrian's personality being slightly provoked by the young man, he would definitely not be able to help but have a physical altercation. He thought back to the information Lester had given him and the whole thing before, and if Cathy wanted to sabotage his engagement to Dianha, everything would have made sense.

If the speculation is true, he only feels funny and naïve, he is still young, but the age in his heart has long passed the stage of jealousy.

He decided to ignore the provocation of the second son of the Elroy family for the time being, and if he did do do something, Harvey wouldn't mind coming back to revenge him. After learning the news of their college party the day after tomorrow, and returning to his residence, Harvey directly wrote a letter for Shirley to send out, inviting Diana to go out to dinner together on the night of the college party, citing the reason of thanking Diana for her help some time ago.

After dinner, Harvey didn't rush to study the illusion crystal and second-order illusion [illusion] he got from Kenneth.

The second half of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is nearing completion, and he plans to finish "The Count of Monte Cristo" in one sitting in the next few days before devoting himself to the study of magic.

In the simple study, Harvey sat in the center of the room, his hands raised and chanting a strangely sounded incantation. A stack of white manuscript paper on the table floated out of thin air, split into nine sheets and stood in front of him in the style of a nine-square grid, he pondered for a moment, his eyes glanced at the inkwell on the table, and several drops of ink flew out and dripped on the white manuscript paper and slowly evolved into words.

Harvey quickly scans the content of the document and corrects the content directly when the ink fades and disappears when he finds the wrong place.

This is Harvey's current method of writing, and the speed is no longer limited to the realm of mortals, but more than ten times faster than typing on a computer. If it weren't for the excellence of the content of "The Count of Monte Cristo", it would be no problem to write more than 100,000 or 200,000 words a day.

Each page of manuscript paper could write about 1,000 words, and it took him about half an hour to write it all, and it took him an hour to check and revise it.

After all the writing was done, the nine manuscript papers automatically flew back to the table and folded them, Harvey closed his eyes and broke away from the spell casting state, his body did not experience vigorous anaerobic exercise but it was like being salvaged from water, and sweat wet his undershirt. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and had to sit down to rest.

"Huhu~ The energy consumption is more than expected, but the energy consumption of repeated spells like this is also part of the exercise of mental power."

After a while, he went downstairs to find that Shirley had prepared a change of clothes and hot water for him, while she was in another room drawing illustrations for the Count of Monte Cristo.

Harvey came out of the shower, and passed by Shirley's studio to see her still wearing a maid costume lying asleep on the table, revealing half of her beautiful face.

"I'm probably tired, I have to do housework again, and I have to draw illustrations... Ah, just now I told her to go out and help me send a letter. Harvey slapped himself on the forehead and said to himself in shame. "The Count of Monte Cristo" has a large amount of content, and the second half of the book requires a total of ten beautiful illustrations, which requires at least a month to complete on the average artist.
