Chapter 5960
After returning to the No. 1 villa at Eden Mountain, Harvey York had nothing to do. He texted Mandy Zimmer, Yvonne Xavier, and a few others for a while before dozing off.
After all, he could not rest well at the police station, no matter how calm he seemed. It was only natural to rest up after finally getting the chance.
In the evening, the doorbell rang.
Harvey freshened up himself before opening the door. Aria Surrey came inside with an elegant-looking lunch box.
“You got all this time to get me takeouts?”
Harvey gestured to Aria to sit.
“You stayed at the police station yesterday. I figured you hadn’t eaten well since you didn’t go out today either.
“I went to Wolsing Road and bought you some mutton chops.
“It’s delicious. The meat is of good quality and not greasy either.
It’s good for your body.”
Aria opened the lunch box before the fragrant aroma wafted in the air.
Harvey started chomping down on the food. He had not eaten anything for dinner yet.
When Harvey was just about done, then Aria whispered.
“I came here to thank you on behalf of the Surrey family, Sir York.”
Harvey raised his head.
“No need to thank me. The Surrey family’s problem is also my problem.”
He naturally knew that Aria was referring to Miley Surrey’s incident.
Miley belonged to the Smalt Sect, but the family would still lose its reputation if she became someone else’s Cask.
From a certain perspective, Harvey was protecting the family’s dignity.
“Another thing. Aenar Temple sent a hefty gift as thanks.”
Harvey briefly froze.
“Is Stefan planning to announce Miley as his bride?”
The Smalt Sect was not opposed to marriage, but Stefan giving Miley that title was still quite surprising to Harvey.
“That’s probably it.
Aria gave a slight nod.
“Other than Stefan, there’s also the seal of his teacher, Great Wall Vaati, on the gift.
“He must’ve approved of this.”
Harvey frowned.
“Logically speaking, Stefan must’ve been more ambitious after I fooled him this afternoon…
“But a man like Vaati can’t be tricked that easily, no?
“Why would he still support Stefan now?”
Aria smiled.
“I investigated this with my grandfather.
“He said that can happen too.
“After all, there had been rumors in the outskirts when Stefan was first brought back to the Smalt Sect, saying that he was actually Vaati’s illegitimate child.
“Stefan’s mother also had an immense status.
“But for many reasons, Vaati couldn’t marry her.
“Though, it didn’t stop him from giving Stefan an identity.
“Since Stefan wanted to rise to power, it’s only natural that his father would support him, right?”
Harvey put his utensils down before frowning.
“It makes sense, but this seems confusing…
“Vaati can clearly tell I’m using Stefan as bait, right?”
