Chapter 78 Thinking of Harvey, Eloise can't help but light up.
She's at that sweet spot between girl and woman, where once she fell in love, she becextra captivating. Max was just sitting there, surrounded by their old classmates.
They all called him Mr. Velona, respecting and flattering him, with no shortage of pretty ladies who were good at winning people over. If this were before, Max might have casually picked one of the women, had his fun, and then tossed her a bone.
But now, Max can't find a single one appealing.
None of them hold a candle to Eloise.
Max had a glass of wine in his hand, taking sips now and then, his gaze fixed on Eloise.
Over there, Eloise and Veronica had just paid up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRavenna took the money without hesitation, flashing a fake smile, "I feel a little bad, Eloise. Your family is bankrupt and I'm still taking your money. How about we split your bill among everyone else?" Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, clearly trying to embarrass Eloise.
Eloise just gave a light smile, "No need, I can still afford this." Ravenna counted the money, looking at Eloise in surprise, "You paid for two? Eloise, you're not seriously bringing that old man to the reunion, are you?" Without waiting for Eloise to reply, Ravenna covered her mouth with a laugh, "Seems like the old man is quite possessive." The room fell silent.
The expressions on the classmates' faces varied.
Eloise was once the most beautiful girl at Music College, coming from a wealthy family, and yet here she was in this predicament. They saw the news on the school website, but didn't believe it until Ravenna confirmed it. It must be true then.
Spitied her, smocked her, and swere clearly distancing themselves. Those who used to sit with Eloise had already subtly suggested to change seats.
The fickleness of human relationships, it's really something.
Even the principals from Music College can't help but sigh at the complexities of society that far exceeded those of school.
Ravenna took a look around and smiled contentedly.
This was exactly what she wanted.
After all, Eloise really did go get herself an old man.
Max frowned slightly, Ravenna had gone too far. Who gave her this confidence, this feeling that she can bully Eloise at will? Just as he's about to stand up, the elevator door slowly opened.
Harvey strode out. Tall, handsome, with a cool demeanor.
The banquet hall was in an uproar, they can't believe they're seeing Harvey in person.
Oh my gosh, he's even more handsthan his magazine photos! His aura, his legs, and that high, straight nose! What was Harvey doing here? The principals of Music College and Dawson have already stood up, along with the parents of the more prestigious students, all getting up to greet Harvey.
In Peterborough, whoever can make friends with the Horigan family had a chance to make a fortune.
Even though Harvey was known to be aloof, they can always benefit from greeting him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnexpectedly, Harvey was unusually friendly today.
He politely refused the offered cigarettes, "My girlfriend doesn't letsmoke." Girlfriend?
Harvey gently draped his arm over Eloise's shoulder, "No need to be m polite, I'm just here to have dinner like polite, I'm you guys. Eloise doesn't likesmoking at home." Everyone was stunned. The information in Harvey's words was too much.
Eloise? The woman that Ravenna just said was with an old man, was actually Harvey's girlfriend!! The banquet hall fell silent again, and no one spoke for a long time.
Harvey had a charming smile on his face, he turned to Max and said m "Max, I'm with Eloise now, seems like it's quite a surprise to everyone!" Max was frozen stiff, barely able to move.
How ridiculous!
Just now, he was thinking of helping Eloise out of her predicament, but she already had someone to protect E her, and it's the most influential man in Peterborough! Max lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp.
Then he smiled faintly and said, "You two make a great couple!" Hearing his words, all the men in the room put out their cigarettes, because Attorney's girlfriend didn't like people smoking.
