Eloise looked down, soberly saying, "It's just his ego playing up."

Max didn't love her. He simply couldn't bear the humiliation of being dependent on the Horigan family. He wanted to regain some pride elsewhere. And Eloise, a woman who once loved him deeply, was his perfect target.

Veronica was even more upset, and she hugged Eloise tightly, "Just ignore him, he's got issues!"

Eloise nodded lightly. She had made up her mind. Once the matter with her father was over, she would take Michelle and leave Peterborough to start a new life elsewhere.

Veronica comforted her for a long time before leaving early due to some other matters.
