NovelReadingChapter 51 Eloise got dressed and was ready to head out.
Before leaving, she glanced towards the direction of the study.
Harvey was still working in his study, she whispered, "I'll be back by half ten." It was a plain sentence, but it made Harvey heave a sigh involuntarily.
Having an extra person in the house really made a difference.
Even though it could be a bit restrictive and inconvenient, so far, he found it bearable. Eloise wasn't overly clingy but was gentle enough. She cooked delicious meals and did the house chores, almost like...
Harvey didn't continue to think further. He simply responded with a nod.

But to her surprise, the moment she stepped out, she saw a black sports car parked in front of her.
In the cool night breeze, Max got out of the car.
Upon seeing him, Eloise's heart raced. She was scared of being alone with him, let alone his current grim expression.
She tried to control her emotions.
Max strolled up to her without any rough movements, only scoffing, "I underestimated you. You're actually with Harvey! But Eloise, do you really think you and Harvey could work out? Do you know his past? If you do, you shouldn't be so ambitious." Eloise just gave a faint smile.
She retorted, "What's it to you?" She wasn't dumb. She had guessed that Harvey had someone else in his heart. Confronted with her cool demeanor, Max felt a choking sensation.
He couldn't help but ask, "You really don't care? Are you willing to play his game? Eloise... what can he offer you apart from wanting to sleep with you?" "And you?" Eloise slightly lowered her head, sneered, "Max, what can you offer me?" She didn't want to tangle with him any longer and pushed him away to walk towards the roadside.
Max suddenly grabbed her hand. Eloise tried to struggle free but to no avail. He stared at her darkly and said, "Whatever he can offer, I can too. Whatever he can't, I can!" His pride was overriding everything at that moment.
He even thought that if Eloise was willing to spend a few years with him, he might divorce and then marry her... Eloise felt disgusted to the extreme.
She said quietly, "Let go of me, or I'll scream for help! Max, you wouldn't want everyone to know about this, right? It could affect your engagement." Max gritted his teeth and let her go.
Eloise walked straight towards the road, hailed a taxi, and quickly got in and left... Max watched as she left, his eyes wide open. He punched the car in frustration. From afar, Harvey held two small boxes in his hands, watching everything with a thoughtful look.
Just after Eloise left, he realized he had left something in the car. He didn't expect to witness such a scene when he went to retrieve it.
Harvey smirked slightly and dialed Denise on his phone, "Getthe audit reports of Velona Corporation from the past few years. Have them on my office desk first thing tomorrow morning." Denise on the other end of the phone was taken aback.

Velona Corporation was owned by the Velona family and was Attorney Horigan's in-laws. Was it appropriate for Attorney Horigan to audit them? Denise was smart and quickly realized this must be because of Ms. Laurent.
The competition between men was obviously due to jealousy.
When Eloise returned, it was exactly half past ten.
It seemed Harvey had finished his work. He was holding a glass of red wine, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.
When Eloise entered, he didn't turn around.
Eloise stood at the door for a while, thinking silently.
She didn't know how other women pleased men, but she knew he liked her body and that was the kind of relationship he wanted. So, she mustered up the courage
to walk over, gently embraced him from behind, and asked) "Have you finished your work?"
