Tangled Temptations

Chapter 178

Harvey stepped out of the private room. He was wearing a white shirt, smeared with blood-most of it Max's. He lit a cigarette in the corridor and puffed away in silence.

Though he despised Max, he had to admit that some of Max's words were true. His relationship with Eloise, seemingly equal, was, in reality, her making all the compromises. Due to their difference in background, he took her sacrifices for granted, never really considering them.

Max was right; he had hurt Eloise's feelings as a woman.

Harvey took a long drag on his cigarette. He was handsome and appeared noble, attracting many women.

In The Mirage Club, Max had a little mistress named Bella, who bore some resemblance to Eloise. She had once met Harvey briefly at an event. She felt that the way Harvey looked at her was different, so when she saw him again, she couldn't help but be drawn to him. Even if he wasn't interested in a long-term relationship, she'd be satisfied just to share his bed.

Bella was smitten.

She approached and lightly touched Harvey's handsome face. "Attorney Horigan, may I keep you company for a drink?"

Just how picky was Harvey? He hated unfamiliar women touching him. He downed some more drinks, then roughly shoved Bella away. Her slender body crashed into the opposite wall, causing her to cry out in pain.

The club manager rushed over after hearing the commotion.

It shouldn't have been a big deal, but when Harvey got a good look at her face, he was agitated. He kicked open the door of a private room and shoved Bella inside.

The manager hastily followed in to apologize. "Bella doesn't know any better, Attorney Horigan, please be lenient."

Harvey sat on the couch. He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and inhaled silently, his dark eyes boring into Bella.

He was really handsome, and Bella felt her heart flutter under his gaze.

"Come here!" Harvey suddenly commanded.
