Chapter 166

Eliana had been staying in the villa for two days already.

Maurice had never shown up since that night. The servants of the Moran family, however, did not dare

to let her go because of his order.

Nancy, on the other hand, made sure she ate nutritious food every day. Now that Eliana had completely

recovered, she could no longer bear being imprisoned in his villa.

Moreover, Aileen and Adrian would be worried if she still did not go home.

Nancy came over with a smile on her face, looking quite happy, just as Eliana was busy thinking about

how to escape.

She took Eliana’s hand and said, “Eliana, I’ve been here for quite a while, and it’s time for me to go. But

before I leave, I want you to promise me one thing.”

Eliana, surprised and delighted, responded, “Mrs. Moran, I will promise to do whatever you ask of me.”

“Good girl. An auction is coming up in a few days, and I’m too old to go out. Please do me a favor and

attend the auction on my behalf. You are free to leave after that. I’ll take care of everything else.”

Eliana’s face turned red unexpectedly when she heard that. Nancy had apparently read her mind.

Nancy was the one who helped Earle establish their family business. With her experience, how could

she not know Eliana’s desire to leave?

So she went along with it because she wanted to use the auction to bring Maurice and Eliana together.

“Mrs. Moran, I…”

Eliana was in a dilemma. Every time she attended such an event, something seemed to go wrong. She

was drugged the last time she went to a dinner party with Maurice and spent the entire night with him.

“Eliana, don’t say no too quickly. I’ll show you the auction items, and maybe you’ll be interested in

them.”

Nancy took out the auction booklet and handed it to Eliana.

Eliana was about to refuse when a small antique music box on the cover caught her attention.

She immediately collected the booklet and took a closer look at it.

Indeed, it was her parents’ antique music box. She had always seen it at their home when she was still

a child. Later on, the Pierce Group declared bankruptcy, and all of their valuables were auctioned off.

Eliana took a deep breath and felt conflicted emotions.

She was overjoyed to see her parents’ old belongings again. But she was well aware that she couldn’t

afford the music box.

However, even if she couldn’t buy it, it would be good to be able to see it again in person after years of

not having a glimpse of it.

With the music box in mind, Eliana decided to grant Nancy’s request.

“Okay, Mrs. Moran. I promise to attend the event.”

Nancy instantly gave Eliana a beaming smile and gently patted her hand.

“Good girl. I knew you would not refuse me. Don’t worry. I have arranged everything.”

After Nancy left, the driver came to her.

“Miss Pierce, Mr. Moran has requested that we take you to the salon.”

Eliana took the opportunity to make a request. “Can I go home first?”

Not knowing what to say, the driver then called Maurice.

Maurice paused for a moment before responding, “Grant her every request. Let her do whatever she

wants before the auction.”

In the end, Eliana went home using Maurice’s luxurious Maybach.

Nana, who had received the news, was waiting for her at the building’s entrance with the twins. Eliana

hurriedly got out of the luxury car, which surprised the three.

Nana was taken aback when she realized the car was Maurice’s.

She rushed forward, grabbed Eliana’s arm and whispered, “Really? Your relationship with Maurice has

progressed to this point?”

“You think too much,” Eliana replied, shaking her head.

Adrian raised his head and doubtfully asked, “Mommy, did you win a lottery while you were gone?

Where did you get this car?”

On the other hand, Aileen didn’t give it much thought. “Mommy, are you playing a princess?” she

asked, clutching Eliana’s thighs. “I want to join you.”

Eliana held Aileen in her arms and explained softly, “Mommy is not playing a princess. My friend let me

use his car. I have something to deal with today, so I won’t be able to get home until the evening. You

have to behave yourselves.”

“Oh.” Aileen lowered her head in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Adrian was staring at the car and recognized it.

‘That car… Why is it so similar to the car Silas’ uncle used to pick him up? The license plate number is

even the same.’

He frowned. Something was wrong.

Eliana kissed Aileen and Adrian on their cheeks. “Nana, thank you for taking care of the kids,” she said.

“I’m attending an auction. Please look after them for a little longer.”

Eliana then got into the car and left.

Adrian stared at the plate number, feeling that there was really something strange about it.

“Do you think two cars will have the same license plate number, Nana?” Adrian asked.

Nana didn’t take his words seriously. “Of course not. You must be seeing things incorrectly.”

“Really?”

Adrian was lost in thought.
