Chapter 179

Eliana was dumbfounded.

Maurice seemed fine the day before. Did he really fire her for something so trivial?

“Mr. Scott, may I ask something?”

“Sure. Go ahead.”

Eliana swallowed hard. “Did Mr. Moran decide to fire me?”

Theo sighed. “Miss Pierce, I hope you understand. Although it is difficult, I am only doing what Mr.

Moran ordered yesterday,” he said with conviction.

No way! It was really Maurice’s order. That bastard! He was so petty!

Eliana was so upset.

“What about my stuff in the office?”

“Miss Pierce, I must remind you that you should not come to the company today because Mr. Moran is

in a fit of anger. I’m afraid he will outburst again when he sees you. I’ll make time today to pack your

stuff and send them by post. Please don’t ever come to the company.”

Theo felt he was very considerate after saying that.

“What about my debt?” Eliana asked again. “Am I now absolved?”

“Your debt? What kind of debt? Do you have a financial obligation to Mr. Moran?”

Theo was confused. His boss hadn’t told him about any debt.

“Forget it. You probably don’t know the whole story. Anyway, please tell Maurice that I will definitely pay

back the money I owe him. I’m not the type of person who doesn’t keep her word,” Eliana grumbled.

Before Theo could even reply, Eliana had already hung up the phone.

She threw away her phone and lay on the bed, unable to express how upset she was.

Did Maurice hate her so much? Did he despise her so much that he forgave her debt just to get rid of

her?

He seemed determined this time to cut her off from his life.

“Mommy, don’t you want to get up yet? It’s already late!”

The door was opened, and Aileen entered. Adrian trailed behind her.

Her daughter’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

Eliana rubbed her temples.

‘Cheer up! It’s not the time to dwell on your issues with Maurice,’ she reminded herself.

She was fine with being fired. She now had more time to spend with her children.

Eliana got out of bed and squatted in front of Aileen. “Baby, I’ll ask Nana to take the day off today.

Mommy will send you to school. Okay?”

“That’s great! It’s been a long time since Mommy sent us to school.”

Aileen giggled, and Adrian, who had always been understanding, looked extremely happy as well.

“We’ll wait for you.”

Eliana felt sorry and sad as she watched her children walk out of the room.

Unconsciously, she had been neglecting her children due to her hectic schedule.

“Aren’t you going to work?”

Nana was confused to see Eliana washing her face unhurriedly.

“I was fired.”

“What? Who fired you?” Nana choked on the milk she was drinking.

“Maurice,” Eliana answered calmly. “Well, it’s time to end our story.”

Nana looked at her friend, whose eyes were filled with sadness, and she wanted to say something but

couldn’t find the words.

Eliana then turned around and took the children out without saying anything else.

They quickly packed their belongings and left. Nana was bored at home and didn’t know what to do.

‘How about I visit Corbin?’

When Eliana took the twins to kindergarten, she happened to run into Silas at the gate.

“Silas, over here!” Aileen greeted Silas from a distance.

Silas waved back at them and shouted, “Come here, Miss Pierce, Aileen, and Adrian. Something has

happened.”

What happened?

When the three got closer, they noticed a crowd blocking the entrance. In the center of the crowd stood

Ivy, with tearful eyes, and her nanny who was wearing a sullen expression.

“What happened?” Eliana asked.

“The kindergarten is not letting Ivy go in there,” Silas explained.

“Why? Because of what happened last time?”

Eliana was perplexed. She didn’t think the minor squabble was serious enough to kick Ivy out of

school.

Silas shook his head, a calm expression on his face that belied his age.

“No, Miss Pierce. It’s because other parents have been complaining about Ivy’s mother. They claimed

that every time she take Ivy to and from the school, she causes chaos by either taking other people’s

parking spaces or inciting children to fight. They believed that Ivy should no longer attend this

kindergarten.”

Eliana finally understood.

She was speechless.

It was exactly what Erica would possibly do.
