Tangled Temptations

Chapter 33

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. But she couldn't shake the feeling of guilt. Her feelings had led to her father being imprisoned and Michelle living a life of instability in her old age.

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

Eloise still had more terrible things to face. Max was ruthless. One by one, the places where Eloise worked part-time called to terminate her contract. Eloise could only nod helplessly.

The last call was from Max, which Eloise answered. They were quiet, with only their breathing intermingling at both ends of the phone. Finally, Eloise spoke, "Max, what else do you want?"
