Chapter 807 Harvie's Friend

• The man did not want to let go of Gloria, who he saw as his savior. He clung to her hand, despite her increasing annoyance. This man was about fifty, but he was still abrupt to the point of rudeness! Dealing with him proved to be a real challenge for Gloria. She didn’t trust strangers easily and certainly wasn’t about to take his word for it. She tried to pull her hand away, but to her surprise, the man fell to the ground. Just then, someone saw the commotion and cried out in anger, “What are you doing!” The voice belonged to a man, who was quickly joined by several others who rushed over and surrounded Gloria. The man who had shouted at her initially spoke again, “Do you know where you are now? Do you know who he is?” The voice was familiar to Gloria, and she turned to see the same person who had scolded her earlier. She noticed the cold look in his eyes and the warning they held. The man who had fallen to the ground was getting up slowly, but didn’t offer any explanation. Obviously, he was acquiescing to the man’s rebuke to her. So what? Was he trying to force her to compromise and give him medical attention in this way? Gloria felt a little funny. She had saved a person only to find herself in trouble. “I did nothing! He’s the one who’s pestering me to treat him! If you don’t believe me, why don’t you just go check the surveillance?” Gloria sneered, completely unafraid and unwilling to explain herself further. She did not want to explain, nor did she want to say anything more, and of course, she was not afraid at all. At that moment, the man she had saved reached out to signal for everyone to be quiet. She had found out the man had a high status at the beginning, but she still refused his offer, and now with so many people trying to pressure her, she was even less likely to compromise. “Miss, I am truly…” the man began, but was cut off by Gloria.
• “Don’t say anything else. Even if you just fell down accidentally, what about now? So many of your men came over to surround me, and are you sure you’re not trying to force me to treat you?” Gloria interrupted, her cold demeanor never wavering. Gloria was a cold person, and what this man had done had already forfeited the good opinion of her. Just then, Violet pushed through the crowd and pulled Gloria behind him. The man opposite was taken aback, recognizing Violet, and asked, “Violet, you know her?” He was curious about Gloria’s identity, as he was a friend of Harvie and had never seen Gloria at the casino before. But from Violet’s protective gesture, the man immediately perceived that the young girl in front of him might be Gloria who was rumored to be with Harvie. She was the niece that Harvie once talked about! After realizing this, the man was filled with regret for his behavior and for not stopping his men from surrounding Gloria.
• He asked, “Where is Mr. Ferber?” Gloria remained silent. She never expected the man in front of her to be a friend of her uncle.It’s Just a Misunderstanding People with high status like her uncle would usually not tell others their real names, and in her previous investigation, Gloria also didn’t find out any information about the boss of the Crockfords Club. So, anyone who knew the real name of her uncle was naturally a person who had a great relationship with her uncle. But Gloria had no qualms about refusing to treat him! After all, this man was just her uncle’s friend, but not hers. With a gloomy face, Violet said coldly, “Mr. Turner, why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers?” Violet was in accordance with Harvie’s instructions and came back to take care of Gloria, because the party was held by Welch Turner, and before he came here, he first ordered his man to lead Harvie to the VIP Lounge. But Harvie was concerned about Gloria. And since Violet learned that Gloria was Harvie’s niece, she chose to pass over what happened before between her and Gloria. Instead, she now had responsibility for protecting Gloria. At this moment, Violet did not ask anything, and she only believed what she saw with her own eyes! As soon as Welch heard what Violet said, he immediately showed a smile. “Violet, this is just a misunderstanding. I just wanted to ask her to do me a favor, but I accidentally fell on the ground. Then, my men came over when seeing that and misunderstood.” And that was indeed what happened. But Gloria was already upset, and she didn’t want to hear any more words from the man.
