Tangled Temptations

Chapter 188

Chapter 179

Joan was glaring at Eloise, who was wearing a stunning emerald dress and seemed to be in high spirits.

Joan was fuming. She couldn't understand why Eloise looked so radiant. Harvey had dumped her, yet she was living a carefree life and had even been named one of the most influential people by the city council! She couldn't let Eloise walk around so smug!

Joan said softly, "I heard about your award. I came to give you a special gift."

The secretary brought in some tea. Eloise took the tea calmly and said, "Ms. Joan, I appreciate your gesture. But there's no love lost between us, is there?"

Suddenly, Joan pulled a razor blade from her pocket. A hint of madness flashed across her face. "I'm going to slit my wrist to celebrate your victory, Ms. Laurent."

Veronica gaped in disbelief. "If you want to off yourself, do it elsewhere. Don't bring that drama here. Harvey's not here. You won't win him over by doing this. Think it through!"

Eloise just watched Joan calmly.

Joan burst into a manic laughter. "Harvey doesn't want to see me, so I had to come see you. What do you think Harvey would think of you if I cut my wrist and then call the cops on you for doing it?"

...

"What he thinks of me is none of my business. But your life is your own. If you don't value it, no one else can." Eloise knew Joan wouldn't actually kill herself. Such a selfish woman wouldn't give up her life so easily.

In front of her, Joan was like a little girl who lost her candy and wanted to snatch even more from others. Eloise was just a casualty of her and Harvey's emotional mess.

Joan gave a sinister smile and gently slit her wrist. As she cut, she dialed Griffin. "Daddy, Eloise hurt me... Please come and save me! I'm bleeding a lot..."
