Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 86

Harvey asked with a smile, "Where's Mr. Velona?"

Officer Ferris gave a slight nod, "Don't worry, we're taking good care of him."

Harvey strolled in.

The police station was bustling with quite a few folks there.

The guy who had fought with Max was happily devouring pizza, looking utterly content.

The manager sat quietly with a young girl who wore a black tank top under a blazer, shaking like a leaf. She looked up at the sound of footsteps, then froze.

She had never seen such a handsome and dashing man!

His aura made her feel incredibly awkward, as if she, a woman like her, didn't deserve to be in his presence.

Harvey's gaze fell on her face.

She bore some resemblance to Eloise, and Harvey quickly pieced together what had transpired.

He sneered at Max.

Max met Harvey's gaze, a hint of defiance faintly detectable in his eyes. Others might not notice, but Harvey saw it clear as day. He chuckled softly but didn't say a word.

"Officer Ferris!" Harvey whispered, "What do I need to do?"

Officer Ferris had already prepared everything.

"Attorney, just sign here, pay, and you're good to go."

Harvey glanced over, then casually said, "I'll bail these people out too, and about tonight's incident."

Officer Ferris got his drift.

Rich folks dreaded scandals, especially when family members who were up to no good cause headaches. He quickly assured, "Attorney, rest easy. This ends here."

Harvey promptly wrapped up the paperwork.

The guy who had fought with Max complained loudly, "I don't need his help. I don't want to owe him any favours."

Officer Ferris was about to lose his cool.

About half an hour later, Harvey parked by the beach. It was tranquil, with only the sound of waves hitting the shore.

"Get out." Harvey's voice was icy.

Max sneered, and he followed Harvey out of the car.

As soon as he got out, Harvey removed his jacket, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, and without much small talk, he started throwing punches.

Max was pushed back several steps with one punch.

He steadied himself and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Harvey kicked him hard again, "Max, did you really think the Horigan family was done for? If you didn't like Orlena, you shouldn't have seduced her. Does it make you feel accomplished seeing her love you so much that she'd even kill herself for you?"

Max was kicked to the ground. He clutched his stomach in agony, but he still managed to force a smile.

"I'm a jerk! I wronged her! But what about you, Harvey? Didn't you know what kind of person I am? Why, then, did you still marry your sister off to me? What right do you have to accuse me? You clearly knew Eloise was my ex. Why did you still get with her?"

Max's eyes were filled with rage.
