Tangled Temptations

Chapter 194

The car pulled up at her apartment.

Dwight made a fuss about wanting to go upstairs, claiming he was too exhausted and needed to crash there.

Eloise, of course, wouldn't allow it.

She calmly stated, "If you're not willing to sleep at my mom's place, then sleep on the streets."

Dwight gritted his teeth in frustration and brought up another matter, "I should get a piece of that 20 million, right? Don't tell me you're planning to keep it all to yourself."

Eloise pondered a bit before replying, "Mr. Arellano gave me the 20 million to ask me to control you."

So she wasn't going to give him a cent of the money.

Dwight snorted and hopped out of the car, glaring at Eloise, "Wow, I cannot believe it."

Eloise ignored him and slowly ascended the stairs.

Dwight wanted to continue ranting, but when he saw her straight back, he suddenly found himself lost for words.

She looked heartbroken.

Ha!

He had said it before that she still had feelings for Horigan. They clearly liked each other, but were pretending to be indifferent. If it were him, he would just take her to bed and ravish her repeatedly throughout the night.

What problems couldn't be resolved?

Dwight jumped back into the car, initially planning to enjoy a night out, but tonight

all he could think about was Eloise's heartbroken expression.

Damn it!

What a mood killer!

He couldn't even muster up the energy.

When Eloise returned to her apartment, Milo immediately came up to her.
