NovelUpdateChapter 34 Ravenna was stunned.
Max, showing no mercy, once again grabbed her long hair, forcing her to look at him. His expression was colder than ice, and he said, "Now you know the consequences of not keeping your mouth shut, huh?" Ravenna felt pain, but more than that, she was panic. She finally understood why Max was so angry. He didn't want Eloise to know about them! Ravenna couldn't accept this truth. She couldn't help but whisper, "But you said you didn't love her!" "Yes, I don't love her!" Max's smile was even colder, "But who do you think you are? Are you qualified to intervene in my business with her?" Ravenna began to laugh through her tears. Blood and tears were blended together, ruining her once sophisticated makeup, making her a pitiful sight. She chuckled, "Max, you're actually in love with her, aren't you?" "I don't love her!" Max denied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRavenna said, "If you really don't love her, then why do you care if she knows the truth? You don't want her to know you're such a mess, fooling around with any woman who comes your way! If you really don't love her, then why do you go to great lengths to mess with her? Why haven't you touched her in four years? Are you really not interested in her, or can't you bear to? Max, you regret it, don't you? Four years you couldn't bear to touch her. But now she's single, free to do what she wants with whoever she likes." With red-rimmed eyes, Ravenna blurted out all these words. She thought she had defeated Eloise, but only to realize that she was the fool. From beginning to end, Max had never shown the slightest hint of affection for her. What he cared about, besides power, was Eloise! She spoke her mind, and got slapped twice by Max for it. Ravenna's lips trembled, but she still laughed, "Max, I don't care if you hit me! What's important is that Eloise will never cback to you. You may get what you want, but you'll never have her!" "Get out!" Max roared quietly.
Ravenna straightened up, wiped the blood from her mouth, and left proudly.
Max was still seething. He smashed his phone in rage! His secretary was about to enter when she saw this scene and froze.
Mr. Velona had never lost his temper like this! Max stood amidst the wreckage, murmuring, "Tomorrow, I'll need to see Eloise." The secretary understood his meaning and her face darkened.
Meanwhile, Eloise kept the fact that she lost her job from Michelle for now. Too much had happened at hlately, she didn't want Michelle to worry.
She couldn't sleep at night, her mind filled with thoughts of the future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt one in the morning, Harvey called. Eloise didn't pick up, but texted back instead: [Michelle is sleeping. I don't want to wake her up.] Only a minute later, Harvey replied: [I'll be back this Saturday. What would you like as a gift?]
Eloise didn't know what to say. She had already planned to leave Peterborough, and naturally she' Wouldn't hay have much to do with m Harvey anymore. Besides, she wasn't the type to just fool around. After sthought, she replied with a simple message: [Attorney Horigan, thank you for everything.] With such a simple sentence, she clearly indicated her intention. She didn't want any more flirtations with him! Harvey, being as smart as he is, would definitely understand.
Just as she expected, Harvey didn't reply. This was the outcEloise wanted, but when the dyst finally settled, she felt a pang of disappointment. She couldn't help but wonder, if they had met in a different way, would the outcbe different?
Afterwards, she laughed at herself for thinking too much! A guy like Harvey, with his background, how could he possibly have a future with her? They would have a brief fling at most. Eloise didn't get much sleep that night, but she still got up early in the morning. She was afraid Michelle would suspect something.
Just as she was finishing up her morning routine, the door swung open. Michelle was pale as a ghost, her lips trembling, "Eloise, your dad tried to kill himself in jail."
