Chapter 865 Pale In Comparison

Harvey's voice was cold and authoritative. “I'm sorry, madam. I don't know your daughter. I'm here to celebrate

Lynnie's birthday.”

His cold attitude starkly contrasted with how he had spoken with Ashlyn earlier.

Mary felt her face going hot with embarrassment.

Tears brimmed in Penelope's eyes. She had never felt so humiliated in her whole life.

She stood there and felt her legs going weak, ready to give out at any moment.

Other than putting up a weak front, Penelope could think of no other way to save her dignity.

Meanwhile, Harvey beamed at Ashlyn like the friendly grandfather next door.

He even turned to look at Naomi and the others.

“Oh, I'm so happy to see you youngsters here. You lot are so full of energy!”

Winsor considered himself a well-connected man, and he had seen his fair share of important things in life.

However, he still widened his eyes in surprise at the sight of Harvey.

The legendary businessman who dominated the business world was smiling and talking to him. Winsor was flattered

beyond words.

“You're too kind, Old Mr. Laith.”

“You must be Winsy. When your father and brother were still around... Ah, forget it. There's no use bringing up the

past now. You've grown so big.” Harvey tousled Winsor's hair, pleasantly surprised to see that the boy had grown up

tall and handsome.

Winsor didn't dare to stop the man from ruffling his hair.

Hence, he kept his head low and basked in the moment.

It was an amusing sight to behold. Yet, many envied Winsor's position.

After all, it was an honor to let a man like Harvey ruffle one's hair.

Penelope and the others grew green with envy at the sight.

Winsor had Ashlyn to thank for his luck.

Earlier, they had looked down on Winsor for hanging around Ashlyn. However, now they were envious of him.

Naomi and Blair were so astounded at the sight of Harvey that they were rendered speechless.

Hence, they could only muster the words, “Hello, Old Mr. Laith.”

“Why so serious? Just call me Uncle Harvey like Lynnie.” Harvey grinned. “Same goes for you, Winsy.”

“U-Uncle Harvey,” Winsor stuttered out, struggling to recall the last time he had addressed someone so

endearingly.

Winsor was also a respectable figure in the public's eyes. However, now he found himself in the position of a junior.

He reckoned he needed more time to get used to the change.

However, he knew that only a handful of people in Lake City could address Harvey as Uncle Harvey.

With Ashlyn being one of the handful, they had her to thank for the honor.

The group stared at Harvey with conflicted expressions on their faces. He was an individual who exercised

significant influence over the country. H Nation might tremble if he so much as shook his legs.

And yet, Ashlyn dared to reject the man's attempt to tousle her hair.

Nonetheless, it seemed the man had a habit of tousling others' hair. They couldn't help but wonder if that was due

to his fondness for twirling his prized walnuts in his hand.

After patting Winsor, Harvey turned to tousle Blair's head, and the latter felt like the walnuts clutched in Harvey's

hand.

“You've got nice hair. Winsy, you've got to use some hair conditioner. Your hair is too hard and prickly. Then again,

your eldest brother has the same type of hair. It's in your genes. You all have prickly hair, much like a hedgehog's

spines.”

Blair couldn't believe the old man had even patted Winsor's elder brother's head too.

Tinsor gulped and said, “Why don't you feel my hair too? I always use hair conditioner, so my hair is really soft and

smooth.”

His request invoked a chorus of laughter.

While the atmosphere was cordial on their side, the same could not be said for Penelope's side.

Jason suddenly felt he had chosen the wrong side by taking Penelope as his goddaughter.

He wondered what Dixon was up to since he hadn't seen the man anywhere.

Jason took a deep breath. He initially thought the Haddock family was good enough. However, it paled in

comparison to Magnecal Tech.
