Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 14

Max was decisive and ruthless. In just two days, all of the Laurent family's assets were frozen, including their two properties and the stocks under Eloise's father's name. He was certain that Eloise wouldn't last long!

The court ordered an asset freeze, and Michelle was so furious that she had to be hospitalized. Once she recovered, she rushed to protest at Max's company. However, Max was no longer the man he used to be, so despite Michelle's long protest, she never saw him and almost got hauled away by the police.

It took Eloise a long time to calm Michelle down and return her to the hospital.

Lying in the hospital bed, Michelle was full of worries. "It doesn't matter if we're homeless, but your dad still needs a lot of money to handle the situation. Although Attorney Bowen is an old friend, we should still pay him."

Eloise quietly reassured her, "Okay, I'll figure out the money thing."

Feeling sorry for her, Michelle gave Eloise her bank card, which had over $100,000 she had secretly saved.

Eloise knew this was Michelle's retirement fund. Holding Michelle's bank card, her voice choked. "Then I'll borrow it for now, and later..."

Michelle cut her off, "I have a small apartment in the suburbs. It's a bit old, but at least it's livable. Eloise... you must do everything you can to help your dad win the lawsuit."

Eloise nodded in agreement.

When Michelle was discharged, Eloise settled her in a rented house. This house was in an old neighborhood, only 60 square meters, simply decorated, and couldn't be compared with the high-end residence they used to live in.

Michelle took a look around and decided to stay.

Feeling guilty, Eloise asked Veronica to help her find two part-time jobs.

Veronica didn't agree. "You're already busy with your current job. If you take on a part-time job, can you handle it?"

But Eloise insisted, "I'm fine."

Seeing her difficulty, Veronica found her a job and even lent her savings to Eloise.
