Chapter 217

“Sir, maybe Asher knows something about Eliana’s kids. Besides Hodge, he also assisted you in

destroying the Pierce family, after all. Plus, he and Eliana used to be in a relationship. Maybe he’s the

father of the kids,” Sean explained to Gerald.

“You’re right! How did I forget about him?”

Gerald was enlightened. He fell silent, thinking, and soon came up with a brilliant plan.

The very next day, he led a large group of men to ambush Asher’s house. His subordinate broke the

door open with a ferocious kick.

“Where’s Asher?! Call him out!”

Gerald strode in arrogantly with his subordinates in tow. With the way things were at the moment, he

looked no different than the leader of a gang of violent thugs.

Erica was lying on the sofa, drinking without a care in the world. Gerald and his men’s sudden

appearance caught her unawares.

The shock turned her sober. She screamed in fear before taking flight and rushing to her room.

“Get her, men!” Gerald ordered, not about to let her escape. His men obeyed immediately and sprang

forward to subdue her. Erica was caught in an instant, denied any means of escape.

“I’ll ask again. Where’s Asher?”

Frightened by Gerald’s cruel and merciless behavior, Erica couldn’t retaliate. She stammered a reply,

her voice shaky, “H-He… He’s upstairs. W-Who are you? What do you want?!”

“Oh, what a surprise! Hello, Mr. Moran. How can I help you?”

Asher appeared, and rushed downstairs with a smile.

“H-Honey, help me!” Erica immediately turned to him for help, her face pale.

But Asher had no pity for her. Instead, he glared at her in disgust and said to Gerald, “I don’t know what

my wife did to upset you, but rest assured. I’ll have her apologize to you right away.”

Gerald sneered, “It’s not your wife. It’s you.”

Asher broke into cold sweat, fear gripping his heart. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Moran?”

Gerald took his time to reply. He said nothing and sank into the sofa, making himself at home.

“Don’t be so nervous. I just have a small question for you.”

Asher, however, felt nothing but nervousness. He hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and

said with a wry smile, “I’ll tell you everything I know, Mr. Moran.”

“Very well. I knew Eliana is your ex-girlfriend. I came here today just to ask you this one thing: Who’s

the father of her children?”

Gerald’s question momentarily stunned Asher. Immediately after, he fell into panic.

Why did Gerald know that Eliana had children? How did he find out?

And… Why did he care so much about it?

Asher was well aware of Gerald’s atrocity. Subconsciously, he wished to cover up for Eliana and protect

her from him.

Unexpectedly, it was Erica who spoke first. Before Asher could say anything, the hateful woman yelled,

“I know!”

Asher’s face turned pale in an instant. He turned to her angrily and barked, “Shut up!”

However, Gerald was interested. “Let her go. Let her talk.”

At his behest, the men let go of her. She staggered to her feet and flashed Gerald a vicious smirk.

“Eliana’s nothing but a slut! She slept with a gigolo working in Imperial Golden Club and had the

children right after. Rather being ashamed, she actually likes the brats very much! After that, she

hooked up with the CEO of Moran Group. I bet Maurice doesn’t know that Eliana has two kids!”

The more Erica spoke, the more excited she became. It seemed that whenever she belittled Eliana,

she would get momentary pleasure and feel better about herself.

However, her happiness was short-lived. Asher slapped her across the face, hard, rendering her

stunned.

“You… You slapped me?” She stared at him, slack-jawed and filled with disbelief.

“I just did. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?” Asher was trembling with anger, his chest

heaving up and down.

“You bastard! I knew it. You’re are still protecting that bitch. I’ll kill you!”

Erica let out a crazed roar and sprang forward to scratch Asher’s face, much like an infuriated cat

whose tail was stepped on. She looked cruel and vicious, devoid of any humanity, as if she wanted

nothing more than to disfigure Asher.

“You crazy woman!”

Asher couldn’t stand it anymore. He had despised her for a long time, and right now, his patience had

reached its limit. The accumulated grudges between him and Erica, new and old, surged out.

Trying his best to control the crazy woman, he howled, “I can’t stand you anymore, you stupid bitch! I’m

going to divorce you. You’re not taking away the kid!”

His declaration worsened Erica’s fury. She grew even angrier and burst into ear-piercing screeches.

“Ha! I know you’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Do you think that if you dump me, you can

make up with that bitch again? Let me tell you, it’ll never happen! I won’t let you go, even if I die!”

The couple broke into a fight and began attacking one another, uncaring about the fact that many eyes

were on them.

Gerald stared, incredulous. For a moment, he was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

“Whatever. Let’s go.”

He had already known what he wanted to know, so there was no point caring about the couple. He

turned around and left with his men, no longer sparing the couple another glance.

On the way back, he thought over the newfound information. There was something strange about what

Erica had told him.

Maurice owned Imperial Golden Club. Meanwhile, Eliana’s partner and the father of her two children

was a gigolo working for the club. What an incredible coincidence!

After a few moments of pondering, he dialed Sean.

“Keep investigating who the biological father of Eliana’s children is.”

“Yes, sir.”

He then hung up, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

Gerald couldn’t wait to tell Maurice that the woman he loved dearly had sired another man’s children.

What would Maurice’s face look like upon receiving the news? Gerald was certain it’d make for an

amusing sight!
