Tangled Temptations

Chapter 211

Harvey sat across from Brett. Speaking with a man like Brett required utmost caution, yet Harvey blurted out, "I want to marry Eloise!"

Brett laughed elegantly. He took out a cigarette pack, drawing a single white cigarette, and idly played with it between his fingers. After a while, he said, "We all know about you two! My mother is the first to disagree. My sister, Louise, chose the wrong man once, and it led to a life of misery and regret. So, Eloise's marital affairs are of utmost importance!"

Parker glanced at his son. The expression on Harvey's face faded.

Brett continued with a soft smile. "I believe Mr. Horigan and his son can understand. Eloise is the only girl in the Noland family's generation. She's precious. There's no reason for her to suffer once she's found someone."

Parker got the hint. He understood perfectly. Brett clearly knew everything and was here to make things difficult. His words shattered the Horigan father and son. Parker was so frustrated!

Brett's mockery could be unbearable for ordinary people, leading to a loss of composure. But Harvey remained calm and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Brett.

"I'll remember what you said. I will get along well with Eloise and will not let her suffer."

Brett was slightly surprised. He had heard that Harvey was quite argumentative in court, but he didn't expect him to have such thick skin. Brett gave him an extra glance, then gracefully stood up. "I've overstayed my welcome. Excuse me."

The Horigan father and son personally saw Brett off. A few bodyguards in black suits stepped forward and escorted himto his car.

Harvey held the car door open for Brett. "Goodbye, Brett. I'll make sure to visit Brockville soon."

Brett's eyes lingered on Harvey's face for a moment, then he gave a light laugh and got into the car. A line of four Audi A8 cars slowly drove away.

Parker glanced at his son and sneered, "Well, we don't need to discuss whether I agree or not. Didn't you see? The girl's family doesn't agree! Let me tell you, the Noland family is not ordinary. You can't just charm Eloise and make this happen! Brett is ruthless. There's nothing he can't do!"

Harvey, hands in his pockets, was looking into the distance. Surprisingly, he managed to laugh. "Dad, don't you think Eloise looks a lot like Brett?"

Parker was furious! This shameless boy, that was his only focus!

Back in the hall, Orlena had finally come downstairs. She peeked outside and eagerly said, "Eloise's uncle is so handsome!"

...

Brett left the Horigan Mansion and headed straight to Michelle's.

Michelle's neighborhood was no better than before. It was a typical middle-class community. The arrival of four black cars and a bunch of bodyguards caused quite a stir, leaving Michelle in shock.

Brett spoke to her in a gentle and cultured manner. Michelle was not naive, but even she was dazzled by such a man. Even Milo barked a couple of times.
