No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1364

Harvey MacLeod certainly wouldn't be her last man. She planned to use his connections to break into the Kingston elite circle and find a more suitable target. After all, she still wanted to settle down one day.

She had to find the right man, preferably someone like Ian, Xavier, or Henry. If she ever met a man of that caliber again, she would absolutely marry him without a second thought.

Suddenly, Vanessa thought of the man who had once pursued Eleanor—Mansfield. She seemed to recall he was also from Kingston. When she had a chance, she could ask Harvey MacLeod about him and find out what his background was.

That evening, Harvey invited her to another dinner. As soon as they got in the car, she snuggled into his arms and asked with a smile, "Mr. MacLeod, you're so well-connected and know so many people in Kingston's elite circles. Do you know anyone in the military?"

Harvey, who loved to boast in front of her, tweaked her cheek. "Several of my buddies are in the military. You shouldn't underestimate me."

"Of course, I wouldn't dare. It's just that a friend of mine is being pursued by a soldier, and I wanted to ask about him for her," Vanessa said with a charming smile.

Harvey immediately said, "Go on, then. What's his name?"

"I think she said his name is… Mansfield!" Vanessa enunciated the name clearly.

"Mansfield?" Harvey sat bolt upright. The smug, casual look on his face vanished, replaced by an expression of utter shock. He pushed Vanessa away, his voice changing pitch. "Who did you say? Mansfield? Which Mansfield?"

Still, Vanessa couldn't let it go. She threw herself back into his arms and pleaded, "Mr. MacLeod, please just tell me! I promise I won't go around asking anyone else. I'm just curious who he is."

"Do you know who his father is?" Harvey lowered his voice.

Vanessa frowned and shook her head. "Who?"

"The Vice President." Harvey practically whispered the words in her ear. Then he added, "The Ellington family is a true political dynasty, with deep roots. They're not people businessmen like us can ever get close to or ask about. If a girl is being pursued by Mansfield, that's the kind of luck you get once in a lifetime. So, stop asking about him. You'll get burned."
