Chapter 120

The next day, Corbin told Maurice that Nana had asked him to look for Hodge.

“Sir, I think that there must be an issue or something.”

However, Maurice was not surprised to hear that at all, because it was pretty evident that the reason

Nana was trying to find Hodge was for Eliana’s sake.

If he did not know that Eliana was the daughter of the Pierce family, then he might still suspect that she

had ulterior motives behind her quest to find Hodge, but now everything was clear to him. She was only

trying to find Hodge to figure out who was the mastermind that was responsible for the bankruptcy of

the Pierce Group.

“Why are they trying to find Hodge?” Corbin asked in confusion.

“They’re doing it for the Pierce Group. Hodge is the only one who knows the truth behind the Pierce

Group’s bankruptcy.”

“The Pierce Group? What does the Pierce Group have to do with Nana or Eliana?” Corbin was puzzled

for a moment. “Wait… The Pierce Group, Eliana Pierce… Oh my God! Is Eliana the daughter of the

Pierce Group’s boss?”

Maurice glanced at the shocked Corbin and commented lightly, “It seems that you are not stupid.”

“Didn’t you purchase the Pierce Group? Then, you and Eliana are…”

“Hmm…”

Corbin was about to say that Maurice and Eliana were enemies, but when he met Maurice’s cold gaze,

he immediately swallowed his words.

“What should we do now?”

“You have to agree to find Hodge to Nana even if it means that you’ll have to dig a hole in the ground.”

Maurice had to keep his word since he had already promised to help Eliana.

Moreover, he also felt that there was something mysterious about the Pierce Group’s bankruptcy.

And it was because before he had bought the Pierce Group, his uncle had done something to the

company.

Maurice remembered the news from that time.

The boss of the Pierce Group had committed suicide by jumping off a building, and his wife had

followed him soon after.

Gerald had not made any moves after that, and thinking about it, Maurice realized that it could not be

that simple.

And he was also curious about how Eliana had survived all those years. She had been the daughter of

a wealthy family, and her family had fallen overnight. How did she manage to cope with such miserable

things?

Maurice recalled the fact that she had agreed to act like his girlfriend for money and had been forced to

work in the company to pay off the debt of one million dollars, and his heart ached.

He could not help but wonder how many such injustices she had suffered in her life.

All of a sudden, Maurice wished that he was able to turn back time and meet her sooner.

If he had met her earlier in life, then he could have…

What would he have done? Maurice didn’t dare to think further about it.

Looking at his boss, who was being so silent, Corbin sighed with mixed feelings.

Eliana had indeed changed Maurice greatly. In fact, Maurice had never been as concerned about a

woman’s past as he was now, and Corbin could not figure out how much he really cared about her.

“Sir, do you still want me to look for the dog?” Corbin reminded him in a low voice.

At the very mention of the dog, Maurice’s expression darkened.

“How dare you mention the dog? You’re the one responsible for that.”

“Is the dog that important?” Corbin was perplexed.

Did Maurice really love Eliana so much that he even cared about her dog? Corbin could not help but

complain in his heart.

Maurice suddenly sneered, “The ring I’ve been looking for the past five years is in that dog’s belly. And

since the dog ran away, we have no way of finding the ring. Is the dog important or not?”

With an awkward smile, Corbin said, “Sir, you’re kidding, right? How could such a coincidence

happen?”

Maurice raised his eyebrows at him. “Do I look like I’m kidding?”

Corbin was completely stunned.

‘Why? Why does it always have to be me who gets hurt in the end?’

Ever since Eliana met Hodge at the Golden Imperial Club, she had been trying her best to find him, but

her efforts were in vain.

However, she still had to continue working.

Soon, she resumed her normal life at the company and at home.

One morning, when she was about to enter the company building, a woman rushed forward and

blocked her path.

“Eliana, you bitch!”

“Evelynn?”

Eliana looked at her in shock.

Evelynn’s face was haggard, and she was not looking like the elegant daughter of the Jarvis family

now.

How did she become like that?

Resentment began to pour out of Evelynn’s heart the moment she saw her. She really wished that she

could tear Eliana into shreds.

“What kind of vicious methods did you use? How could you let Maurice destroy the Jarvis family?”

Evelynn screamed hysterically.
