Tangled Temptations

Chapter 142

Chapter 133

Harvey watched as Max was at a disadvantage, a mix of anger and pity welling up inside him.

Winona brought over dessert. Having watched Harvey grow up, she cared for him deeply. She naturally asked, "Where's Ms. Laurent? How come you didn't bring her home, young master?"

Harvey paused. He said, "It's late. She's already asleep."

Winona nodded, exchanged a glance with Pauline, and left.

Pauline tried to pry into his affairs again, but Harvey's response was so cautious that there was no room for any leaks. He made it clear that he didn't want his mother interfering in his personal life.

Max got the hint. He chuckled lightly, "Did you have a spat with Ms. Laurent?"

Harvey sternly replied, "Max, it seems you're not busy enough with the Velona Corporation."

Max's face darkened, and Harvey lost his appetite. He got up and headed upstairs.

Orlena couldn't help but call him. "It seems like you're biased against Max."

Harvey turned around. His gaze was cold as it landed on Max. "Really? I didn't notice."

Max's expression worsened, glaring at the privileged Harvey. Clearly, he had suffered a loss on Eloise.

Well, with all the women fawning over him usually, of course, he'd be uncomfortable dealing with a tough cookie like Eloise.

Max remembered how Harvey had seemed indifferent towards her, as if he was just playing around. Harvey probably didn't realize he had genuinely fallen for her.

Max didn't pick a fight with the heartbroken man. He left the Horigan Mansion and couldn't help but glance at the calendar once he got in his car.

In two days, he could see Eloise. He imagined the surprise on her face when she saw him, her expression would be vivid, even a bit adorable.
