NovelUpdateChapter 12 Landon didn't dare to put up an argument. Even though Harvey was of the sgeneration as them, his career was so stellar that it made them all feel the heat. He winked at Eloise. "I'll wait for you in the car." Eloise managed to put on a weak smile.
After Landon left, a few cops, sensing the situation, jokingly said, "Attorney Horigan has spersonal business to discuss. We should make ourselves scarce." Once the area was completely quiet, Harvey looked down and fiddled with the cigarette in his hand. His fingers were long and strong, every simple movement filled with allure. After a while, he looked up at her. "Ms. Laurent, you have quite the influence." Eloise was taken aback. She instinctively defended herself, "Today's incident had nothing to do with me..." "You're trying to say it's none of your business?" Harvey smiled lightly, a hint of mockery in his tone. "Ms. Laurent, can't you guess why they were fighting?" Eloise turned pale. In front of the powerful Harvey, all of her explanations seemed futile. If he said so, then it was so, because he was Harvey, the country's best lawyer, and she, Eloise, was just a small fry.

Eloise didn't move. She opened her eyes wide and looked at him helplessly. Harvey towered over her, even flicking her face lightly. Eloise felt humiliated and turned her head away in embarrassment.

"I don't!" "You're still thinking about him?" "I'm not!" Harvey retracted his hand, smiling faintly. He said, "I believe your promise." Eloise felt awkward and angry. Why was Harvey treating her like this? She didn't dare to fight back, only mustering up a quiet. "Harvey, you're such a jerk!" He didn't get angry but just gazed at her intently. After a while, Harvey spoke softly, "You haven't done anything wrong. You just trust love too much." Eloise was stunned. By the tshe cto, Harvey had already left.
Harvey drove with concentration. He occasionally saw his sister leaning on Max's shoulder in the rearview mirror, her face beaming with happiness. Harvey smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his smile.
His golden Bentley slowly pulled up to the restaurant. Max got out of the car, bent down, and thanked Harvey. The two men locked eyes, a mutual understanding passing between them.
Harvey nodded, then drove off. Orlena climbed into the passenger seat.
