Tangled Temptations

Chapter 121

The room went dead silent.

The men who had been drinking and playing poker all stopped, their eyes all on Eloise.

Joan sat next to Harvey, acting like a hostess.

Eloise was in a tough spot. She was here at this party, but no one had invited her. She was here to expose Harvey's actions, but she had no ties with Harvey.

Gunner, who had a quarrel with her last time, was the first to mock Eloise in a sarcastic tone. "Eloise, what brings you here? Wanna join?"

Eloise turned her gaze toward Harvey.

Harvey was dressed casually today. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, lounging on the sofa, and smoking leisurely.

This laid-back attitude was something Eloise had never seen before.

Harvey glanced at Eloise, seemingly a bit annoyed, but didn't pay any attention to her.

Joan suddenly leaned over and pecked Gunner, then said half-jokingly. "Gunner, don't tease Ms. Laurent. She might not be able to handle it."

Eloise clenched her fists.

Again, someone said she couldn't handle it! Joan and Harvey were two peas in a pod!

Harvey's gaze was deep. He stared at Eloise and was silent for a long time before he finally spoke. "Eloise, go home."

His words left Eloise with no dignity, as if she were someone who didn't know the ropes but had no power to take men away.

Gunner chuckled coldly.

That felt good.

Then someone spoke up. "Alright, let's not push Eloise. Let's get back to the game."

The scene started to heat up again.

But just then, a voice gently said, "I can handle it!"

The voice was very soft and was almost drowned out by the noise.

But Harvey still heard it; it was Eloise who said it.

His gaze tightened, and his tone was even more severe than before. "Eloise, go home!"

No one dared speak; everyone could tell Harvey was not happy.

Perhaps because Eloise didn't give him any respect.

In the silence, Landon chuckled and said, "Eloise said she can take it, so let's let her join us!"

He pulled Eloise to sit next to him and poured her a glass of red wine.

"Lose the game, drink the wine. If you win, you can make a request to anyone. No restrictions."

Harvey said lowly, "Landon!"
