Tangled Temptations

Chapter 192

Eloise followed Veronica into the banquet hall.

She was observant and noticed that their table was mostly filled with younger members of the Colman family.

She immediately understood that Riley was truly invested.

Callum's mother cover to distribute candy, and upon seeing Eloise, she courteously exchanged a few words.

Eloise smiled and handed over the gift.

The expression on Callum's mother's face was somewhat subtle when she accepted it. Initially, she had looked

down on the girl in front of her, but after Eloise had a fallout with Harvey and declined to enter high society, she

couldn't help but see her in a new light.

Although Callum's current marriage wasn't bad, his mother could see that Callum wasn't truly happy.

Tonight, seeing Eloise, she felt a bit wistful.

Eloise wasn't the type to dwell on the past, she just gave a small smile. At that moment, Dwight cover and

sat down right next to Eloise, his charming demeanor quite eye-catching.

Half the banquet hall was watching them.

Griffin had sconnections with the bride's family, so the entire Lynch family had cand were seated at the

table next to them.

Upon seeing Eloise in the spotlight, Joan was not pleased.

Diana whispered, "He's just a chauffeur. Don't let it bother you."

Joan scoffed.

She was constantly comparing herself to Eloise. Before, she was arrogant because she had made a small name

for herself in the piano world, but she couldn't break into the mainstream due to her limited talent.

She had seen Eloise play the piano, and her talent made her jealous.

Luckily, Eloise would never be able to be a pianist again.

Ha!

She thought Eloise was so impressive, but all she had done was fall in love with a good-looking chauffeur after

experiencing heartbreak. That man's only redeeming quality was his handsface.

Joan was not worried; she firmly believed Harvey would quickly grow tired of Eloise.

At this moment, Harvey returned.

His status was apparent; he was seated at the main table, surrounded by industry tycoons.

Parker and Stuart were both there.

Harvey had been around for a while, and he fit right in amongst the old men, chatting and smoking, occasionally

glancing at Eloise. She looked quite nice in her dress today.

Parker followed his gaze.

He patted his son, "Aren't you going to say hello?"

Harvey lightly chuckled, "With Mr. Arellano's son accompanying her, I'm afraid there won't be a spot for me."

Stuart, who had been jovially socializing, paused upon hearing this, "Did you mention Dwight... Where is

Dwight?"

Before Harvey could answer, Griffin and Joan cover to say hello.

Joan was good at playing coy and called out to Parker.

Parker didn't like her much, but he politely responded, then turned to chat with Griffin. Seeing Harvey ignoring

her, Joan chuckled and said, "I saw Eloise. | was going to apologize to her, but it seems she's moved past her

heartbreak and started dating a chauffeur. She even brought him to the wedding."

A chauffeur?

Parker glanced at the table. Indeed, there was a handsyoung man.

But he didn't seem like a chauffeur.

Stuart was curious as well. He took a casual glance, and then his expression changed.

The man sitting amongst the women, attracting attention like a butterfly, wasn't that his precious son? And that

expression of joy on his face, where was the sign of being down on his luck?

Stuart's expression turned stern, "That's my son."

Joan's beautiful face froze.

What? He's not a chauffeur, but the sole heir of the billionaire businessman, Stuart Arellano?

Parker chuckled, "So it's Dwight."

Harvey slowly took a drag from his cigarette, and with a meaningful tone said, "Congratulations to Mr. Arellano

on finding his son. It seems... Mr. Arellano won't be alone on your private jet back to Rossland."

Stuart looked over.

He noticed the girl next to Dwight was quite nice and seemed mature. Dwight treated her with respect and even

took care of her from tto time. His son could actually be considerate.

Stuart had an idea.

He directly got up and walked over to their table, placing a hand lightly on his son's shoulder, "Boy, you've got

game."

Dwight didn't try to hide.

He stood up, even pulling Eloise up with him, "Dad, you're here too?"

Stuart couldn't help but overthink. He chuckled, "A new girlfriend?"

Eloise recognized the middle-aged man in front of her, and she immediately said, "I'm not... I..."

Dwight affectionately said, "Dad, she's my boss. She tookin when | was homeless, fed me, gavea job,

and I'm even living at her place now. She's been so good to me."

Stuart took another look at Eloise.

She was attractive, with a dignified look in her eyes.

Without further ado, he took his son back to the main table, and brought Eloise along.

Stuart was a shrewd man, he could tell his son was trying to latch onto this girl.

He cup with a sufficient reason, "Ms. Laurent is Dwight's boss, so she has the right to sit with us."

Under the gaze of everyone, Eloise joined the ranks of the billionaires.

The waiter added two chairs, and by coincidence, they were next to Harvey. Of course, Eloise didn't want to sit

next to him; she quietly sat down next to Parker instead.

Because of this, Harvey arched an eyebrow at her, his expression somewhat teasing.

As Dwight sat down, he said in a low voice, "Horigan's sour, isn't he? The future will be more interesting."

Harvey smirked slightly.

Stuart held Eloise in high regard, speaking respectfully to her. In the end, he even decided to leave his son in

Eloise's care for training. Eloise knew his status, so how could she accept this?

Stuart poured her a glass of almond tea, smiling kindly, "I heard Ms. Laurent's Crescendo Sound Workshop just

started operating, and many things haven't fallen into place yet. It's not easy for a young girl to start a business,

so how about this, I'll invest 20 million. Consider it tuition for my unworthy son."

His offer was just too generous.

Eloise flashed a smile, "Much obliged, Mr. Arellano."

She poured half a glass of red wine, raised it to Stuart, and it was clear that it was

all business. Stuart was even more impressed by this gesture, and he said to Dwight, "Learn from Ms. Laurent."

This conversation was not lost on Parker, a shrewd man who quickly understood Stuart's intention. Wasn't it clear

that he was trying to pawn his son off on their Eloise?

He cast a sympathetic glance at his son

, who maintained his suave demeanor, though he was somewhat concerned

inside.

Dwight shot him a triumphant smile before heading to the restroom.

When he cout, he found one of the Lynch women standing at the door, her posture and expression speaking

of her party animal identity. Dwight chuckled, zipping up his pants and washing his hands.

Joan, alluring in her attire, gave a soft laugh. "Mr. Arellano, do you know about Eloise's past?"

Dwight lit a cigarette, leaning against the opposite side, and slowly took a drag. Joan was about to move closer

when Dwight spoke up.

"Don't cany closer. Honestly, | can have my pick of unmarried women, so a married woman like you should

behave. Don't parade around like you're single. |

don't want to catch anything."

Joan's face drained of color.

Dwight blew a puff of smoke in her face. "Move, you're in my way."

Eloise and Veronica overheard the exchange outside the restroom.

They quickly found another restroom.

Veronica laughed, "Quite interesting and fiery. But are you sure you want someone like him around?"

Eloise washed her hands slowly. "His father gave too much, a 20 million investment for my Encore Soundworks.

I'm treating it like babysitting."

Veronica was envious.

Why hadn't a handsome, wealthy man fallen into her lap? A stud who could drive

her, make Michelle happy, and even bring 20 million - it was like a dream come

true.

The more envious Veronica got, the more her stomach acted up.

She bent over the sink, dry heaving for a long time. Eloise quickly started patting

her back. As she did, a suspicion began to form in her mind.

Could Veronica be pregnant?
