Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 548

Eugene had never introduced Violeta to Harvey.

Harvey was growing increasingly frustrated, but Eugene remained calm.

Eventually, Harvey could no longer contain his irritation.

At the Brewclub, with its vibrant bar lights casting a spectrum of colours, Harvey laid his cards on the table. "Eugene, what's this deal you keep hinting at? I don't have time for this endless back-and-forth."

Eugene had long understood Harvey's true intentions.

He had been patient, playing along with Harvey's schemes, but Eugene was ready to move forward.

Had Violeta not been slow to respond, Eugene would have already cut ties with Harvey.

With Violeta's approval to proceed, Eugene told Harvey, "The arrangement is straightforward. You want to get close to a wealthy woman, correct? I can provide a suitable candidate. She'll meet your requirements."

Harvey stiffened, a shiver running through him.

He hadn't anticipated that Eugene would see through his plans so easily.

All his scheming to get close to Violeta seemed futile now that Eugene was fully aware of his game.

He tried to stall for time.

"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Eugene swirled his drink, maintaining a casual yet assertive tone. "Stop pretending. The deal is that I'll supply you with all the details you need about this wealthy woman. Your task is to get close to her and report back every detail of your interactions. So, what's it going to be?"

Harvey narrowed his eyes, revealing his cunning nature.

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

Eugene chuckled. "As I've said, this deal is advantageous for you with no risks. Besides, what would I gain from deceiving you?"

Harvey fell silent, deep in thought.

Eugene, growing impatient with the delay, pressed, "Yes or no? If you refuse, we're done here."

After a tense minute, Eugene stood up to leave.

Harvey called after him, "Alright, I accept."

Eugene paused but did not turn around. "I'll send you the details later. Watch for my message."
