No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1407

"Mr. MacLeod, don't tease me," she said, giving Harvey a half-flirtatious push.

Just then, Harvey spotted Ian in the center of the room. He gave Vanessa’s waist a squeeze. "Want to go say hello to your old flame?"

Vanessa's gaze drifted toward Ian. She forced a smile and said, "He has someone with him now. Why would he remember me?"

"Mr. MacLeod, you want to get to know Mr. Goodwin? I could introduce you," Mr. Lambert offered, hoping to earn a favor and expand his own network within The Kingston Elite Circle.

Harvey's expression turned a bit awkward. He tugged at his tie. "Forget it. A guy on that level... we'd better not try to get close."

Harvey waved his hand dismissively, his tone sheepish. His eyes betrayed an undisguised mix of apprehension and self-awareness.

Although Ian wasn't part of The Kingston Elite Circle, Harvey had heard whispers about his connections to Kingston.

As arrogant as he was, he knew that forcing an introduction wouldn't get him anywhere with a man like that.

Vanessa sneered inwardly but said softly, "Mr. MacLeod is right. We should just have our own fun."

Mr. Lambert's eyes scanned Vanessa up and down with a meaningful smile. Vanessa met his gaze and gave him a seductive look of her own. "Mr. Lambert, here's to you."

Mr. Lambert smirked, acknowledging her flirtatious signal, and raised his glass. "To you, Miss Shannon."

Then, a few of Harvey's buddies came over. Vanessa felt extremely uncomfortable as their eyes raked over her.

Eleanor glanced over as Vanessa stepped in, a mocking smile on her red lips. "What a coincidence."

Eleanor looked away, turning back to the mirror to touch up her lipstick, ignoring her completely.

Vanessa wasn't annoyed. Instead, she leaned against the counter, crossing her arms and staring at Eleanor with resentment. "There's no one else here. We can drop the act. You must be so proud, seeing me like this."

All the stall doors were open; they were indeed alone.

Eleanor capped her lipstick and said coolly, "Whether you're doing well or not has nothing to do with me. I don't care."

Vanessa let out a derisive laugh, as if she'd heard a joke. "How could it have nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation."
