Chapter 202

Jordy smiled at Eliana and remarked, “I was worried that you couldn’t find the red wine the customer

asked for, so I came to help you.”

Was that his true motive?

Eliana recalled the times that Jordy had said strange words to her and touched her. A sinking feeling

filled her stomach.

“There’s no need,” Eliana said, clutching the red wine in her arms. “I’ve found it. I’m leaving now.”

Eliana quickly walked to the door and turned the knob. However, the door did not open.

Damn it! The door was locked from the inside and the key was gone.

Eliana’s heart rose into her throat.

“Eliana, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don’t you stay and have a chat with me?”

Jordy’s disappointed voice came from behind her.

Eliana’s hair stood on end and her heart raced.

Eliana struggled to keep her voice calm. “Mr. Hamilton, you must be joking. We’re supposed to be

working, not slacking off in here.”

“Are you still trying to fool me into thinking you’re a chaste girl?”

In the dark and hidden storeroom, Jordy finally revealed his true nature.

He approached Eliana with a lascivious smile. “You are such a temptress. You not only have a gigolo

lover, but an affair with a CEO as well. You have even given birth to illegitimate children. Don’t pretend

to be innocent in front of me.”

“Jordy! Stop it!” Eliana shouted as she stumbled backwards away from him.

“Babe, I’m coming!”

Jordy rushed towards Eliana.

Eliana had already retreated to a corner. There was nowhere to hide. She raised the wine bottle and

smashed it on Jordy’s head.

The bottle shattered into pieces.

Bright red wine splashed all over Jordy.

Jordy snorted in surprise.

Eliana had missed his head and hit his shoulder. The sharp pain awakened his anger. He wanted to

hurt Eliana.

While Jordy was distracted, Eliana shouted and ran away from him.

“Help! Is anyone here? Help!”

“No one’s coming, no matter how loud you scream!” Jordy grinned hideously and ran after her.

At this moment, the locked door was kicked open with a bang.

Maurice stood silhouetted against the light, giving off a terrible aura that would make anyone shiver.

Eliana couldn’t believe her eyes.

Maurice… he had come to help her?

Without thinking, she threw herself into his arms.

Maurice’s strong and murderous demeanor made her feel protected.

“What were you trying to do?”

Jordy raised his head and met Maurice’s fierce eyes. “I wasn’t doing anything!” he shouted. “This

woman tried to seduce me…”

“You’re courting death!”

Maurice kicked him hard.

“Ah!”

Jordy was thrown several feet away.

He rolled back and forth on the floor, giving shrill cries of pain.

The glass fragments from the wine bottle pierced his face. Blood mixed with the red wine on the floor.

His face was disfigured.

Maurice wanted to kick Jordy again, but Eliana grasped his sleeve.

“Take me out of here…”

Maurice’s eyes shone with ferocity and his handsome face seemed to be covered in frost.

“Eliana, are you stupid?” Maurice snapped. “I’ve told you that the chef is up to no good!”

Thinking about what could have happened if he hadn’t showed up made Maurice want to skin Jordy

alive.

Eliana was still in shock from her encounter with the lecher. Maurice yelling at her just made her more

confused.

The words sounded familiar, but they didn’t seem to have been said by Maurice.

This thought only flashed through Eliana’s mind for an instant.

Maurice carried Eliana to the rear of the restaurant.

Wyatt hurried over to them. He looked from Maurice’s serious face to Eliana lying limply in his arms.

“What happened?” he asked.

“Wyatt, take care of your staff!”

Maurice couldn’t help but vent his anger on Wyatt.

He glared at Wyatt and carried Eliana out of the restaurant.
