Harvey knew Cathy's identity naturally because of the influence of the social world. Who doesn't know a star like existence in the social world?
Harvey was surprised when Cathy knew his name. Harvey Adrian was a dissolute man, but he was still normal in the society. Why should the heirs of a declining family be remembered by others? He was still a member of the Elroy family.
Cathy's self introduction was also very interesting. She didn't say her surname and identity directly, which was quite modest to outsiders.
Elroy.
Harvey had an instinctive guard against this surname. He shook hands with him quietly and said with a humorous smile, "Oh, I know you are Kathy Elroy, the husband that many girls dream of. Who doesn't know the stars of Elroy's society? It's just that you know my name that makes me a little flattered."
The tone of indifference can't hear any overtones, but it certainly has no meaning of respect.
Cathy also gave Harvey a smile: "I learned your name from Diana. She is my friend, but I didn't even know she had your fiance before."
"Oh, you must be from the same university."
"Yes."
University is not rare in today's era. It is one of the good ways to gild and promote ordinary nobles and civilians. However, the university is the product of the new era. As the representative of the old era, the traditional nobles rarely let their children go to the University. In particular, some universities publicize the idea of equality for all, which is no different from heresy in the eyes of the nobles.
"Are you the Harvey Adrian? I heard that you are a well-known Playboy in the society. You are very good at hooking up widows. I'd like to learn from you. Haha, it's just a descendant of a declining aristocrat. "A wild laugh came from behind Cathy, and one of his male friends came forward and said with a smile, looking at Harvey with contempt.
"How can you talk to Mr. Adrian like that, York?" Cathy turned her head a little angrily and taught in a low voice.
The young man named York was discontented: "originally, I really don't know what qualification such a person is worthy of Diana."
Kathy had no choice but to look embarrassed and bow to Harvey to apologize: "I apologize for my friend's frivolous words. He can't control his mouth, but his words are absolutely harmless."
No malice?
One sings "red face" and the other sings "white face". There are too many performances in the movie, and Harvey doesn't care. He waved his hand and said, "of course I don't care. What he said is true, isn't it? If you really want to ask me, I can teach you some skills. "
The young man disdained to sneer: "it's just a shameless man. He has such a good fiancee as Diana, but he still has to go out and hook up with the widow."
Christie, who didn't join the conversation behind her, closed her folding fan and watched the play without expression.
"York, shut up!" Cathy stopped in an emphatic tone.
Cathy's gloomy surprise was fleeting, and she chuckled at Harvey: "you are so humorous. I'm here to invite Miss Christie Isaiah to our school party the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Adrian would like to join us? We students from Ansel University will attend this banquet. Of course, we will also invite some aristocrats and celebrities. It will also make the banquet more lively if you come to the banquet. "
Harvey couldn't understand what medicine was sold in this handsome young gourd, and he didn't dare to be interested. He shook his head and refused: "sorry, now I'm going to quit the society, and I'm not going to participate in social activities like banquets."
Cathy took a deep look at Harvey. "I'm so sorry. I was rude."
······
——Is the conflict between myself and the Elroy family caused by jealousy?
Leaving the theater, Harvey analyzes the conversation with Kathy as he walks. If Harvey Adrian in the past is expected to make a fool of himself in this conversation, he will have a physical conflict if he is slightly provoked by the young man because of Harvey Adrian's character. He recalled the information Lester had revealed to him and the whole story before. If Cathy wanted to destroy his engagement with dianha, everything would make sense.
If the conjecture is true, he only feels funny and naive. He is still young, but his age has already passed the stage of jealousy.
He decided to ignore the provocation of the second son of the Elroy family for the time being, and if he did something, Harvey didn't mind a straight return. When he got the news of their party the day after tomorrow, Harvey wrote a letter to Shirley and invited Diana to go out for dinner on the night of the party. The reason was to thank Diana for her help.
After dinner, Harvey did not rush to study the magic crystal and second-order magic from Kenneth.
The second half of the count of Monte Cristo is nearly finished. He plans to finish it in a few days, and then devote himself to the study of magic.
In the simple study, Harvey sits in the center of the room, holding his hands flat and reciting strange incantations. A stack of white manuscripts on the desktop floated out of thin air, divided into nine pieces and stood up in front of him in a nine palace pattern. He pondered for a moment, glanced at the ink bottle on the desktop, and several drops of ink flew out onto the white manuscript and slowly evolved into words.
Harvey quickly scanned the content of the manuscript, found the wrong place when the ink faded away, directly correct the content.
This is Harvey's way of writing now. The speed of writing is no longer limited to the field of ordinary people. It is more than ten times faster than typing on a computer. If it wasn't for the content of the count of Monte Cristo, it would be OK to write more than 100000 words a day.
Each page of manuscript can write about a thousand words, and it took him about half an hour to finish all of them, while it took him an hour to check and revise them.
After finishing all the writing, nine pieces of manuscript paper automatically flew back to the desktop and folded. Harvey closed his eyes and broke away from the casting state. His body didn't experience intense anaerobic exercise, but it was like being fished out of the water. His sweat wet his T-shirt. As soon as he got up, he felt dizzy and had to sit down to rest.
"Huhu ~ energy consumption is more than expected, but this repeated casting energy consumption can also be regarded as a part of mental exercise."
After a while, she went downstairs to find that Shirley had already prepared the laundry and hot water for him, and she was drawing the novel illustration of the count of Monte Cristo in another room.
Harvey came out of the bath and passed Shirley's studio. She was still dressed as a maid, sleeping on the desk, showing half of her beautiful face.
"I'm probably tired. I have to do housework and draw illustrations... Ah, just now I told her to go out and post letters for me." Harvey slapped himself on the forehead and said to himself in shame《 Count of Monte Cristo has a large capacity. In the second half of the book, it is required to draw ten exquisite illustrations. It takes at least one month for ordinary painters to finish the work.
