Tangled Temptations

Chapter 256

Chapter 245

In the quiet town of Brockville, a shiny black SUV pulled up at the entrance of the grand Noland Manor.

The vehicle came to a graceful halt.

A tall figure stepped out, and the servants greeted him respectfully, "Good day, Mr. Harvey!"

Harvey frowned, "Where is Mr. Brett?"

The servant, noticing his displeasure, didn't know how to respond. Just then, Brett appeared. Seeing Harvey, he asked nonchalantly, "What brings you here so early?"

Harvey flashed a toothy grin. He chuckled coldly, "Of course, to see my dear Uncle!"

Brett glanced at his watch, "Unfortunately, I have a meeting soon. My driver's waiting!"

Harvey blocked his path, his smile not reaching his eyes, "A little delay won't hurt you. Finish the talk then you can go!"

Brett frowned.

Harvey lit a cigarette, took a few slow puffs, then extinguished it, saying softly, "I want to talk about Orlena!"

Brett gave a signal, and his secretary retreated, taking all the servants with him. Once they were alone, Brett lit his own cigarette. He stood in the breeze, the smoke swirling around his handsome face, sometimes clear, sometimes obscured. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "How is she doing?"

Harvey laughed coldly, "How? A girl of 31, not married or coming home, living alone in a rundown apartment. Mr. Brett, how do you think she's doing?"

Brett's slender fingers, holding the cigarette, trembled slightly. Despite his high position, he always maintained his composure. But hearing about her after more than two years, he couldn't keep his emotions in check. He suspected Harvey knew something.

Brett's voice became huskier, "Why doesn't she come home?"
