Tangled Temptations

Chapter 346

Half a month later.

Ravenna's husband's coal mine was turned upside down.

Five lives were lost four years ago, and the news was now broadcasted widely. The wealthy mine owner was immediately detained, facing at least 20 years in prison.

Ravenna's world was collapsing. She tried to see Mr. Brett, but was stopped by Donny.

Donny spoke solemnly, "Ms. Ravenna, Mr. Brett had long-term plans to cooperate with you. But we never knew your husband was involved in such dirty affairs. We have to cancel our plans."

Ravenna, though slow, sensed the unusual. But considering her status, she could never challenge Brett. All she could do was to beg for his leniency.

Donny smiled calmly. "Ms. Ravenna, have you ever thought about who you might have offended?"

Ravenna was stunned. After a while, she muttered, "It's Eloise."

Donny did not respond directly. He only said, "Mr. Brett's sister died young. All his affection is poured into Eloise. You should have thought twice before acting against us."

After saying that, Donny left.

Ravenna sat alone in the tearoom, feeling absolutely defeated. She picked up a cup of coffee. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that after all her hard work, she was still losing to Eloise.

Eloise hadn't even lifted a finger, but she was left in a miserable state.

No, she couldn't let this happen! She had to save her husband Stuart, even if that meant begging Eloise.

Ravenna walked out of the tearoom into the rain. The initially hot early autumn weather was cooled down by the light rain.

At Eloise's mansion, the rain was light.

Eloise was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard, arranging flowers in a vase. The flowers were all planted by herself.

A servant came over and whispered, "Madam, there's a Ms. Ravenna who wishes to see you."

Eloise blinked lightly. She had seen the news today and guessed that Ravenna would come to beg, but she hadn't expected her to come so soon.

She smiled faintly and said, "Tell her I'm not here."

The servant nodded and left.

At the mansion gate, Ravenna was pacing anxiously, with an umbrella in her hand.

She desperately needed Eloise's help. She thought, despite their differences, they were old classmates. It wouldn't be hard for Eloise to lend a helping hand if she could swallow her pride.

From a distance, the servant came over with an umbrella.

"Ms. Ravenna, I'm sorry but our madam is not at home. Please come back another time!"

Ravenna knew this was just an excuse from Eloise. She was clearly at home.

Ravenna wouldn't give up. She abandoned her dignity and shouted at the gate, “Eloise! I know you're at home. Why won't you see me? ... Yes, I did wrong by revealing your secrets, but it didn't really affect you, did it? Do you have to ruin me to be happy?"

The servant looked uncomfortable. "Ms. Ravenna, please don't make things difficult for us." If Mr. Harvey came home and saw this, he would definitely be furious.

Ravenna was so angry that she threw her umbrella away and began shaking the large, black, carved gate violently. She was shouting obscenities, "Eloise, come out! What are you playing dead for? Do you think you're better than me? Have you forgotten how you pursued Max?"
