Tangled Temptations

Chapter 276

At ten in the morning.

Denise headed to the law firm. Harvey's assistant ushered her into the office, greeting her with a warm smile. "Denise, welcome back!"

But Denise felt an edge of anxiety. She closed the door behind her, taking in the sight of Harvey sitting behind his desk. Harvey didn't even glance up as he was engrossed in his paperwork. He spoke casually, "Eloise sent you?"

Denise didn't deny it, nodding. "Yes! Ms. Laurent thought I was familiar with this case and could help you, Attorney Horigan."

Harvey gave a light chuckle. He closed the file and began engaging in small talk. Finally, he asked casually, "What about Mr. Gerald from Everest Technologies? Is that his name, Gerald?"

Denise was taken aback. "Oh, yes, that's him."

Harvey's voice grew softer. "Is he married?"

Denise didn't understand his interest, but she answered honestly, "Mr. Gerald is

35 and quite attractive, but he's never been married. I heard he doesn't even have a girlfriend."

Unmarried, no girlfriend...

Harvey's lips thinned slightly. "Alright, I get it. You can go now."

As Denise reached for the files to leave, Harvey suddenly asked, "When is

Eloise's prenatal checkup and at which hospital? Send me the details..."

Denise couldn't help but chuckle. "Sure! I'll send it to you later."

...

When Harvey reached the hospital, it was nearly eleven.

Eloise had already finished her checkup. She sat alone on a bench, quietly examining the ultrasound results.

Harvey slowly approached. He saw her alone, with no sign of Mr. Gerald. He knew then that Eloise had played a little trick on him. He wasn't annoyed, instead,

he sat next to her, stretching out his body, and asked, "Let's see it."

Eloise handed him the ultrasound. "It's almost been five months now! You decided on the name Darrien."

Harvey looked at the ultrasound. "Is it a boy?"

Eloise nodded, her gaze falling on his face. How she wished he could suddenly remember, and tell her, "Eloise, I'm sorry I'm late."

But that didn't happen...

Harvey, who had lost part of his memories, was only playing the role of a husband. He was here merely doing it out of fear that she might cheat on him.

Sure enough, after seeing the ultrasound, he politely escorted her downstairs, not even bothering to invite her for lunch. They went their separate ways at the entrance of the hospital.

In the following days, Harvey lived as if he were single, always out socializing, and rarely coming home.

Private detectives sent photos to Eloise of Harvey attending one social event after another, surrounded by countless socialites.

A month later, in the president's office at Everest Technologies.

Eloise stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window. Her desk was littered with photos.

Gerald walked in, catching sight of the photos. He pretended not to see, suggesting considerately, "Ms. Laurent, why don't I go to Gregory's private dinner alone tonight? You should go home early and rest."

Eloise shook her head lightly. "Gregory has done us a great favor. It's only right we show him some respect."

Gerald didn't insist further, and he left the room.

At nine-thirty in the evening, at the most high-end business club in Peterborough.

After dinner, Eloise prepared to leave. Gerald escorted her out and planned to return for a second round of drinks. They chatted about work as they walked. Suddenly, Eloise's gaze froze.

By the elevator, a private room door was half-open. Inside, the scene was clear.

There were about five or six men, half of whom Eloise recognized, including her husband. The most notable thing was that each man was accompanied by a young woman. Harvey was no exception.

Although he wasn't behaving inappropriately, the girl was coyly leaning against him. And he didn't push her away.

Eloise watched in silence. Perhaps he felt her gaze, because Harvey looked up and met her eyes, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere...

Inside, there was a man named Mr. Hughes, who was familiar to them all, the owner of a six-star hotel.

Mr. Hughes immediately put out his cigarette, quickly standing up. "What a coincidence, Eloise! Don't misunderstand Harvey. We're just discussing business. He's as clean as a whistle. You know that better than anyone!"

He invited Eloise in.

Inside, there were five or six other girls. In such a situation, if Eloise entered, it would seem like she was lowering herself. Gerald also suggested, "Ms. Laurent, why don't you head home?"
