Chapter 1366
Vicky turned and saw a familiar face. âHarvey?â Surprise flickered in Vickyâs eyes. âYouâre here too?â
Harvey walked up to Vickyâs side in long strides. âThis business banquet is quite important, so I had to
make an appearance.â
Vicky chuckled. âGood for you.â
Ever since she knew Harvey, she was aware of his aversion to attending banquets. When she was his
fiancee, she accompanied him to a few banquets and helped him fend off advances from other women.
Usually, Harvey would sneak away halfway through the event.
He had always been casual and loved his freedom; banquets were a form of torture for him.
Harvey wore a suit and looked unusually formal. However, his tie was buttons of his shirt were also
undone, which gave him a certain rebellious charm.
âLuckily, I ran into some familiar faces here, or Iâd be bored to death,â remarked Harvey with a carefree
smile.
The back garden had a serene atmosphere. The gentle breeze carried the scent of flowers, creating a
beautiful scene.
Since Vicky had nothing much to do, she continued to chat with Harvey.
âI remember you said before that you wanted to become a professional car racer, and I thoughtâ¦â
Vicky paused, realizing that her assumption might not be appropriate as Tyler had once sent Harvey to
prison. This might just be what stopped Harvey from realizing his dream.
Harvey did not mind the past grievances and chuckled. âI did think about it. After I got out of prison, I
assumed that my influence would be mostly diminished and Iâd finally
have a chance to pursue my dream. Who wouldâve thoughtâ¦â
He stretched lazily and continued, âWho wouldâve thought that none of the Sparks has what it takes to
run the family business? After I got out of prison, my grandfather was practically on his knees, begging
me to take over. All my cousins and siblings were worried that they might make mistakes and end up
destroying the family wealth, so they left the whole thing to me.â
He clicked his tongue and continued, âMembers of other powerful families fight over the family
business, yet everyone in my family is trying to avoid any involvement with it.â
Vicky chuckled. âAs a successor, youâre exposed to tremendous stress and have to work yourself to
exhaustion every day. Your family, on the other hand, obviously prefers to sit back and enjoy the bonus
without having to work at all. They donât have to work and can all do whatever they want. If I were
them, I would have done the same.â
âI guess my dream to become a professional car racer is over, but you, on the other handâ¦â he said
before turning to look at her.
