NovelUpdateChapter 35 Eloise was dumbstruck.
Michelle was as pale as a ghost, "Your father tried to kill himself! He's been revived but it's really serious! Eloise, I beg you to helpfind a way to see him! His health has always been poor, and this blow is too heavy for him!" Michelle covered her face, crying in pain.
Eloise was in a turmoil. She refused to believe that her father, who was as strong as a mountain, would attempt suicide. She had just seen him a few days ago and he looked fine! She immediately called Dominique, hoping that he could help them see Angus.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDominique had already received the news and was planning to discuss it with Eloise. He asked Eloise to cto his office for a chat.
Eloise comforted Michelle, and they both skipped breakfast and went straight to his office.
Dominique looked very serious. He made several phone calls in front of Eloise and Michelle, but finally put down the phone and shook his head, "He's okay now, but he can't be bailed out. He still needs to receive treatment in the jail." Because of Landon, Dominique tactfully added a few words, "Eloise, your father's case involves Velona Corporation, can you approach Mr. Velona, and see if there's any room for negotiation?" Mr. Velona! Max! Eloise shut her eyes in pain. She should have guessed it was Max's doing! He had done so many outrageous things, just to force her back to him.
But how could she go back? If Eloise bechis mistress, even if her father got out of jail, he would be so angry he might have a stroke! But if she didn't give in, what about her father and Michelle? Would they really have to lose everything? Eloise sat there in a daze.
Dominique looked at her with ssympathy. He handed Eloise a cup of water and softly said, "Maybe you can talk to Harvey again. I heard from Landon that you two have been getting along well." Eloise's heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle. That pain was like countless needles piercing her heart. Dominique was experienced, and he continued, "Harvey is not unreasonable. He just ctoa few days ago for..." He suddenly remembered Harvey's instructions and didn't finish his sentence. What if Harvey changed his mind? Wouldn't that disappoint Eloise again? Eloise took his advice and nodded. When she left, she held her phone in her hand, hesitating whether to call Harvey or not. But she had just rejected him the night before. Would he still care to listen to her now? Eloise wasn't sure. But for her father's sake, she gathered her courage and made the call. The call didn't go through. Harvey had turned it off.
Eloise felt somewhat desperate; she hardly dared to face Michelle.
Michelle, where was she? Eloise thought Michelle had gone to the restroom, she looked around but couldn't find her. She began to feel uneasy and dialed Michelle's number.
"Pick up the phone..." Eloise murmured.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call went through, but no one answered.
Eloise suddenly thought of something. She quickly ran to the elevator, frantically pressing them elevator button. When she was in the enclosed elevator, her whole body was trembling. "Michelle, don't do anything stupid! Don't..." Eloise was too late. When she arrived at the President's office of Velona Corporation, it was in chaos.
Max was leaning against his desk with his hand on his stomach, blood seeping out between his fingers.
The scene was shocking! Michelle was holding a fruit knife in her hand. She seemed to have gone crazy, babbling on about something that couldn't be made out! Eloise called out in a shaky voice, "Michelle!"
Michelle just stared straight ahead, whispering, "I killed Max, and he can't hurt Angus or you anymore. Eloise, I told you a long tago that he wasn't right for you." Eloise's face was full of tears. She walked up and gently hugged Michelle, choking out the words, "Michelle, don't be scared. I'm here!" Max was clutching his wound, blood steadily dripping down.
The secretary tried to bandage his wound, but he pushed her awaym asking Eloise word by word, "Can't you see I'm bleeding? Eloise, do you not care whether I live or die?"
