Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 329

Hearing those words, Harvey York squinted his eyes slightly, it seemed that Luis Zarate wasn’t trying to be friendly with him at all.

With that thought in mind, Harvey turned his gaze toward Rosalie Naiswell for a while, what more troubles could she bring to himself with her good looks?

Noticing Harvey’s stare, Rosalie’s icy expression softened up and was replaced with a smile as she winked at him mischievously.

Harvey smiled back helplessly, not knowing what to do for the next step.

Meanwhile, Luis who stood at the side clenched his fists taking in the scene, this douchebag from God knows where dared to flirt with the apple of his eye? It’s totally unacceptable!

Charles Zarate noticed everything that had happened with the corner of his eyes and sighed mentally, his student had already lost to this young man just with his composure and act.

But of course, Charles had to help Luis as a family member, so he glared at Luis and told him off, “What have I been teaching you all these time, Luis? Always be humble and don’t show arrogance just because of your talents and skills, understood?”

But it was clear in Harvey’s eyes that although it might seem as if Charles was lecturing his student, his belief and faith in his student couldn’t be hidden away from his tone of speaking as well.

“Teacher, I just couldn’t stand how some people act like they know everything when they actually don’t, considering himself as a good appraiser already just because of his sheer luck last time!” Luis exclaimed indignantly.

His words immediately triggered Rosalie even before Harvey could respond.

She glared at Luis and stated, “Mr. Zarate, don’t think too highly of yourself just because of those basic talents of yours. Your skills can’t even be compared to those of Harvey York.”

“Rosalie, I just don’t want you to get fooled, this guy…” Luis instantly replied to her with eagerness.

“Who are you to call me Rosalie? Don’t make it sound as if we’re close with each other when we’re not.” Rosalie stated icily.

Luis had been chasing after her for a long time, moreover their families were in very good terms leading them to try and pair the two up as a couple, that’s why he could speak to her in that way.

Before this, Rosalie just spoke to him nicely out of pressure from the elders, but given how her mind was all about Harvey she didn’t even have the slightest interest in entertaining Luis.

Luis got enraged as he stared at Harvey intensely with fume in his eyes.

Harvey just stood there looking helpless, it’s Luis’s fault for not able to get the girl he fancied so why was he mad to Harvey? Plus, Harvey wasn’t interested in her anyway.

At that moment, Shane laughed lightly and commented, “Young people these days are so full of energy, we’ve become old Zarate, if the young ones want to play let them be, as long as everyone’s still on good terms, we shouldn’t interfere as old men.”

Charles gave Shane a look and frowned. He could tell that Shane was trying to defend Harvey, fearing that Charles would bully the young one with his status and age.

Taking that into consideration, he decided to not further ‘bully’ Harvey and instead he smiled. “You’re right Naiswell, young people have different ideas and opinions all the time, then why not you all sit down and have a few matches to see who’s the true appraiser here? In our field, authentic would always be authentic and fake would always be fake.”

With this, Luis gave Harvey a cold hard stare, showing how he’s not afraid of anyone at all in the industry of antique appraisal, he’s fairly confident of that.

Rosalie raised her eyebrows, intrigued by the idea as well, then she proceeded to stare at Harvey with anticipation and admiration with her beautiful glassy eyes.

It was true that Harvey did successfully appraise the painting of ‘Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains’, but he never showcased his skills again after that.

Taking in everyone’s facial expressions, Harvey sighed knowing it’s unavoidable to have a match today.

He didn’t try to delay anything further and sat down instead, said “If so, let’s do it, may I know how you want us to have this match? By using what?”

Shane thought for a moment and walked over to the side of the book rack, taking out an old wooden box to place it on the table. “This piece of antique watch was what I got during my trip in Niumhi, whether this is authentic or not, why don’t you young men help me take a look and find it out?”

Appraising antique watches was just one of the tests they had to take in order to enter the appraisal industry, but if it’s something taken out by Shane, it must have its own meaning behind, which was why both Harvey and Luis didn't utter a single word about it.

“The only rule here would be you can only observe with your eyes without touching it at all. Then you tell me whether it’s authentic or fake, starting now.” Shane opened the wooden box with a hint of playfulness in his smile.
