Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 548 A Lost Cause

Eugene had never introduced Violeta to Harvey.

Harvey was growing increasingly frustrated, but Eugene remained calm.

Eventually, Harvey could no longer contain his irritation.

At the Brewclub, with its vibrant bar lights casting a spectrum of colours, Harvey laid his cards on the table. "Eugene, what's this deal you keep hinting at? I don't have time for this endless back-and-forth." Eugene had long understood Harvey's true intentions.

He had been patient, playing along with Harvey's schemes, but Eugene was ready to move forward.

Had Violeta not been slow to respond, Eugene would have already cut ties with Harvey.

With Violeta's approval to proceed, Eugene told Harvey, "The arrangement is straightforward. You want to get close to a wealthy woman, correct? I can provide a suitable candidate. She'll meet your requirements." Harvey stiffened, a shiver running through him.

He hadn't anticipated that Eugene would see through his plans so easily.

All his scheming to get close to Violeta seemed futile now that Eugene was fully aware of his game.

He tried to stall for time.
