I'll send the keys back to you." She said. Max was taken aback. What made Eloise change her mind so suddenly? He wanted to ask, but she had already hung up.

Twenty minutes later, Max's car stopped inside the detention center. As soon as he got out, he saw Harvey being escorted out by a group of people.
Harvey was wearing a pricey suit, looking rather imposing. At the moment, he was coming down the stairs, chatting cordially with a few top leaders.
Denise was also there, laughing and saying, "We'll leave it at that! We really appreciate your help this time." They all responded kindly. After all, Harvey was a member of the Horigan family! Harvey bid farewell to each one of them. After he left, they looked at each other and laughed. One of them said, "Harvey is the devil in the legal field. I've never seen him up close before.

On the other end, Eloise answered calmly, "Max, you know how you treatand I decided to treat you the same. Any problem?" "No problem! Not at all!" Max sneered, "Just don't regret it."
