NovelStartChapter 64 Eloise really wanted to cheer him up.
She naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and affectionately called him "Daddy".
Harvey was a bit stunned at first, but then, a slight ripple stirred in his heart.
This ripple continued all the way to his office. Even Denise noticed that Attorney Horigan was in a great mood, and he looked even more handsthan usual.
At ten in the morning, Denise knocked on his office door.
Smiling, she said, "Attorney Horigan, Velona Corporation's legal advisor wants to meet with you! I've checked your schedule, and you're free at four this afternoon..." "Nope!" Harvey responded indifferently. "The authorities have already taken Velona Corporation to court over financial issues. They can deal with their own mess." Denise was a bit taken aback. The young owner of Velona Corporation was related to Attorney Horigan, yet Horigan didn't lift a finger to help them.
Maintaining her professional smile, Denise said, "Understood, Attorney Horigan." She returned to her office and relayed the message to Velona Corporation's legal advisor.

Max wasn't surprised.
This move from Harvey was clearly aimed at him. Considering he was lucky not to be fucked over by Harvey at this point, how could he possibly expect any help? This crisis, although not severe, was enough to distract Max from his pursuit of Eloise and dealing with Angus. Harvey was truly a big shot in the legal world, an expert in manipulation. Even though Max had been in the business world for many years and thought he was tough, compared to Harvey...
He felt completely outmatched! Max was irritable.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, chain-smoking cigarettes.
He remembered even during Velona Corporation's biggest crisis, he never smoked this frantically. Back then, Eloise would always gently say, "Smoking too much isn't good." Then she would pop a mint candy into his mouth.
At that time, Max actually found her annoying. To him, Eloise was like an unsatisfying dish.
Pretty to look at, but lacking in depth.
If it wasn't for the plan to scapegoat Angus, why would he have tangled with her for four years? But when he really lost her, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
Just getting used to it, he told himself. Just getting used to it! A knock sounded at the office door.
His secretary cin, telling him about sissues with a shopping mall they'd acquired at the beginning of the year.
Max responded coolly, "Go check it out." Half an hour later, Max's car pulled up at City Plaza.
He spent half the day handling matters. By the the was done, it was already four in the afternoon. His secretary brought him a light meal, "Mr. Velona, you haven't had lunch yet! Eat something first." Max wasn't hungry.
He said plainly, "Let's head back to the office first." While leaving the fourth floor office center, the elevator broke down. He had to take the customer elevator instead.
Max's mood worsened, and he looked even more sullen.
Just as the elevator was about to reach the first floor, his eyes flickered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe saw Eloise.
Eloise was shopping alone, carrying several shopping bags, and wasm selecting clothes in a renowned men's clothing store. She looked very focused, her eyes gentle. Max knew she was picking out clothes for Harvey.
The sight made his heart skip a beat, and he didn't want to look any longer. He quickly left the mall and got into his car.
Max gently closed his eyes and instructed the driver to go home.
His secretary had also seen Eloise, but she didn't dare to speak or ask...
When Max got home, Aliza was surprised to see him. She wanted to ask about the company, but seeing him loosen his tie as he ascended the stairs, he said, "Mom, I'm a bit tired. I want to rest." Aliza looked at him, wanting to say something but held back.
Max entered his room, closed the door, and lay on his bed, covering his eyes with one hand His eyes were filled with tears, and his mind was filled with the gentle image of Eloise...
