Chapter 290 Don’t Take Me as a Fool

“Why?” Christopher gave Harvey a perplexed look and waited for an explanation.

Harvey merely glanced at him and said casually, “It’s good to have more friends.”

It puzzled Christopher even more. “Grandpa, don’t take me as a fool.” He was speechless at the lame

excuse. “Friends? Since when do I need friends?” he thought.

Harvey coughed in embarrassment after his intention was exposed. “I think Jenny is a decent lady. I’d

like you to bring her around Bardoff and bond with her.”

“But didn’t you say that it was a joke?” Christopher recalled that Harvey had asked him to pursue Jenny

in Parrington, but they both took it as a joke. He had long put that memory at the back of his mind.

Something felt off when Harvey brought up the matter again after a long time.

Feeling annoyed by the barrage of questions, Harvey grumbled, “What’s with all the questions? Don’t be

noisy, and get it done!”

“I won’t!” Christopher shook his head furiously. “I don’t even love her. Why do we need to bond?”

“Who do you love, then?” Christopher had no good answer to Harvey’s question. Harvey pressed on, “Do

you know what is love?” When he was met with silence again, he advised his grandson earnestly, “See?

You have no idea what’s love like. If you can’t define it, how are you sure you’re not in love with Jenny?

Perhaps you do, but you haven’t realized it yet.”

A confounded Christopher questioned himself, “Do I love Jenny?”

Harvey took the chance to convince him, “That’s why it’s not a bad thing to get to know each other

better.”

“Oh, okay.” Christopher was fully persuaded by his grandfather. However, he sensed that something was

fishy. Before he left the study, he paused and turned around. “What’s so special about Jenny Walter?

Why do you insist that I go after her?”

“You little brat…”

“Grandpa, I know you very well. You’re only motivated when you have something to gain.” Christopher

came to his senses and formed a vague guess.

Feeling frustrated, Harvey finally decided to get to the point. “If you marry her, the Spades will be one of

the Ten Elites of Bardoff City by your time.”

Christopher was taken aback by the information. The Spades might have appeared influential to the

other families in Parrington, but they were at most a second-class in the high society of the wealthy

Bardoff City. They were beneath the first-class elites, who were one class below the Ten Elites of Bardoff

City. The ten elite families were at the top of the hierarchy and whom he would never have the privilege

to meet.

He was shocked when Harvey proclaimed their family could be one of the Ten Elites if he married Jenny.

How is that possible?” he wondered. “Grandpa, about Jenny Walter…”

‘Don’t ask questions. You only have the right to ask questions once you’re dating her. Your questions

would be meaningless otherwise.” Harvey waved at him and refused to reveal more.

Even the information he held was courtesy of the old Faust guy from Parrington-he had a favor to ask

and leaked Jenny Walter’s identity in exchange for help. Harvey would have never learned about Jenny’s

background if it hadn’t been for that guy. Armed with that information, he wouldn’t give up on the one

chance at becoming one of the Ten Elites.

Christopher fell into a long silence. He seemed to be deliberating over the idea of giving up love for al

chance at becoming a member of the Ten Elites. His hesitation didn’t last long, and he came to his final

decision.

“Love? Happiness? Those are bullshit compared to the attractive idea of becoming one of the Ten Elites

of Bardoff City,” he thought.
