Chapter 502: True Colors
Harvey muttered, "With that cold and nasty temper, I wonder which unlucky guy will marry you in the future." Selene didn't catch what he said and shot him a cold glance. "Aren't you going to drive?"
"Coming, coming. Why so fierce? Girls should be gentle," Harvey grumbled, but moved quickly, afraid of making Selene angry again. Realizing he was afraid of Selene made Harvey feel frustrated. Then he thought, as a man, he shouldn't argue with a woman.
Harvey got into the car, started it, and drove back to the Lu family home. Once they arrived, thinking about Selene's injury, Harvey wanted to help her out of kindness and gentlemanliness. But before he could touch her, Selene gave him a cold look.
Harvey withdrew his hand awkwardly and started muttering again, "Really doesn't know how to be gentle. So fierce, no one will want her."
Today, Mrs. Fieldmouse was at home. Hearing the car return, she came out happily. "Stinky, you're back! Oh my, you brought your girlfriend home? Stinky, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could prepare myself?"
Selene stood still and glanced at Harvey. Stinky was his nickname? People still had such names these days?
Harvey felt embarrassed and pulled Mrs. Fieldmouse aside. "Mom, don't say that. She has nothing to do with me. And please don't call me Stinky in front of others; it's so embarrassing."
"What's embarrassing about it? You're my son; I've called you Stinky since you were little." Mrs. Fieldmouse ignored Harvey and turned to look at Selene. "Stinky, this girl doesn't look like your girlfriend. With your personality, if she liked you, she'd have to be blind."
Harvey was dumbfounded. "Mom, am I really your son?"
"You mess around outside and don't let me say anything?" Mrs. Fieldmouse glared at Harvey. "You're always so unserious. You're an adult but still act like a fool, getting tricked by girls outside. People say behind our backs that we have a silly son."
Harvey was used to it and said, "Mom, just ignore them."
"Silly son..."
"Selene." Harvey noticed Selene's pale face and furrowed brows; she must be in pain from her injury. "Forget it; I'll take you upstairs to rest." Harvey walked over to Selene and couldn't help but support her this time.
With someone else around, Selene didn't refuse Harvey's help. She nodded slightly at Mrs. Fieldmouse. "Mrs. Fieldmouse, sorry for the trouble."

Then she followed Harvey upstairs.
Mrs. Fieldmouse was puzzled and asked when Harvey came back down, "Who is that girl?"
"Her name is Selene; she's my friend. She's injured and will stay here for a few days to recover," Harvey didn't elaborate.
Selene staying over was not only because Harvey saved her last night but also because she was worried Damien would cause trouble for Harvey.
Damien was someone who did things without any bottom line and was very sinister.
Mrs. Fieldmouse didn't quite believe it and looked at Harvey. "That girl doesn't seem simple. Be careful and remember the warning letter you received; don't forget it again. I think you should find a nice girl to marry soon and settle down." "Mom, don't worry about my business anymore. The girls you introduce are all... If I had listened to you and married Joy Chaucer back then, it would have been a disaster for our family."
"I misjudged Joy Chaucer's case, but that doesn't mean all girls are bad. There are kind-hearted and gentle girls out there," Mrs. Fieldmouse said firmly. "Leave it to me; I'll find one for you."
"If you want to fuss about it, go ahead. I'm going to take a nap."
Harvey hadn't slept all night and was exhausted.
At Sterling Corporation Tower.
The swapped seal had been replaced by Leyton Sterling again. Terrence had been closely monitoring all companies controlled by Ethan Channing and noticed some movements. "Mr. Sterling," Linda walked in. "As per your instructions, the information you requested has arrived."
"Hmm." Terrence took the documents and glanced through them with a furrowed brow.
Ethan Channing had changed his name; his original name was Rhys Lyons from Willow Creek.
"Cancel tonight's dinner with Mr. Walter; I have something else to attend to."
Terrence decided to visit CC Club again tonight.
