NovelUpdateChapter 37 Michelle was fighting back tears, struggling in pain.
"Eloise, you can't be with this jerk! How am I supposed to explain this to your dad?" Michelle said.
Footsteps echoed from outside the door, and in walked a few uniform-clad figures.

Max, I beg you, don't touch her!" Michelle collapsed to the floor, covering her face. She hated herself for being powerless, impulsive, and most of all, for letting her anger towards Max drag Eloise into this mess.
The people who walked in were taken by surprise. Looking at Max, they asked, "Mr. Velona, what's going on here?" Max gently took Eloise's hand and pulled her to sit next to him, with Eloise trembling all over. He was slightly annoyed. Was she that afraid of him? But since Eloise was somewhat relenting, Max decided to offer scomfort. Holding a tissue against his stomach, he said casually, "Things got a bit messy just now, and I might have accidentally hurt myself. But our company has surveillance, and even though it's currently malfunctioning, it'll be fixed in a couple of days. I'll show you the full video then." The cops knew it was just a love feud. They asked a few questions and left shortly after.
Eloise was still trembling. She knew Michelle was safe for now, but with the surveillance in Max's hands, he could turn her in at any moment.
The office was eerily silent and terrifying.
Max looked pale as a ghost. He turned his head to tell his secretary to get the car ready, then gently lifted Eloise's chin, "Will you cto my villa tomorrow night?" Eloise's eyes were vacant.
Max pulled a smile, "Play the piano forthen." Eloise didn't respond, but Max didn't mind. He just wanted her by his side. He was confident that with time, she'd return to her obedient self. She'd better forget her flirtatious relationship with Harvey.
Max was seriously injured. A group of assistants and secretaries hurriedly left. Eloise helped Michelle get home. Michelle was still in shock. Eloise whispered, "Michelle, go take a shower. I'll make sfood." As soon as she finished, her arm was grabbed forcefully. Michelle's voice was filled with anger, "Eloise, I won't allow you to see that monster!" Eloise lowered her head. What else could she do if she didn't go? Watch her dad suffer and Michelle go to jail? No, Eloise had no other choices.
Eloise didn't plan to tell Michelle. She would send her father and Michelle away once she solved all the problems. And then it would just be her and Max. Max, he forced her into this.

She lied to Michelle, saying she'd try to find a solution with Attorney m Bowen, or see it Veronica could help. Michelle was somewhat relieved with her repeated assurances. At a private hospital in Peterborough.
Max was settled in a ward after his wounds were treated. He changed into a loose hospital gown, his waist wrapped in several layers of white gauze.
Despite his condition, he was still discussing work matters with his assistant.
Orlena came. Her eyes were red, "Max, who did this to you?"
Max couldn't tell her that he inflicted the injury on purpose, and he certainly didn't want Orlena to hear about Eldise. So, he made up a story and as expected, Orlena bought it and felt sorry for him.
The concern in her eyes was genuine. But Max was thinking of Eloise. In the past, Eloise loved him deeply too. But today, when he was injured to this extent, she didn't show any worry or shed a single tear.
