Tangled Temptations

Chapter 108

Eloise slammed the car door shut.

Her eyes were tinged with red, glowering at Ravenna with anger.

Ravenna's gaze fell on the red sports car, her voice laced with jealousy and mockery, "Eloise, do you think you're all that? The truth is, we're all living off men's money. Who's to say who's more noble between us?"

Eloise snorted in response.

"So, you ruin other people's happiness and think it's justified, feeling no guilt at all, huh?" Eloise retorted.

Ravenna laughed. "Let's go to the café and have a chat, Eloise. I've been wanting to talk to you since the last reunion," she suggested.

Eloise really didn't want to waste her time chatting with such an annoying person. But for the sake of Veronica, she followed Ravenna into the café -The Cozy Cat.

Eloise didn't speak first, fearing she might be tempted to toss her coffee at Ravenna's face.

Ravenna, on the other hand, seemed to have a lot to say.

Taking a sip of her coffee, she smirked confidently, "Don't think I just met Gunner recently. We've been together since college!"

Eloise was both surprised and angry.

Ravenna stirred her coffee, raising an eyebrow, "Don't believe me, Eloise? Remember that Christmas party? Gunner was the one accompanying Veronica. He was handsome, rich, and generous. Veronica naively introduced him to all of us. That night, Gunner and I hooked up! He was quite pleased with my 'performance' and even gifted me an iPhone!"

"Since then, we've been together. Whenever Veronica was indisposed, I was there with Gunner. He was very generous, and he practically paid my entire college tuition."

Eloise was taken aback, her blood boiling.

She was in disbelief!

After a while, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Weren't you infatuated with Max back then? How did you end up with Gunner?"

Ravenna laughed, shaking with amusement.

"Eloise, you're so innocent! I did like Max, but how does that contradict with me dating Gunner? Didn't I eventually get Max, too? Eloise, want to hear about me and Max?"
