Chapter 235

This time, returning to the Moran Group didn’t bring Eliana joy. She had been through many struggles

and even almost lost her life.

It was like the place was plotting against her.

She got home very late and threw herself on the sofa, exhausted.

Nana had heard the door open and she came over with the twins. She found Eliana lying on the sofa in

new clothes, which were inside out.

“Eliana, what’s wrong? Why did you change your clothes? And why are your clothes inside out?”

Inside out? Were they really?

Eliana immediately jumped up and looked down at her clothes.

Sure enough, Nana was right.

She was embarrassed. Apparently, earlier in his office, Maurice was just trying to tell her that her

clothes were inside out.

Eliana felt so humiliated.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Aileen asked worriedly as she ran to Eliana.

“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired from work.”

Eliana picked Aileen up and took a few deep breaths.

“Mommy, who is the man that answered your phone today?” Adrian asked abruptly.

Eliana’s hands froze.

“When Adrian called you, a man answered the phone. Who is he, Mommy?” Aileen raised her head

and looked up at Eliana.

“What? Eliana, do you have a new man? Why didn’t you tell me? Tell me everything!” Nana exclaimed.

Three pairs of large eyes burned holes into Eliana.

“You’ve gotten it wrong. That was just one of my colleagues,” Eliana explained.

“Which colleague? Do I know him?” Nana gave Eliana a piercing and curious look that pulled the truth

out of her.

“Mommy, was it really just a colleague?”

Adrian frowned. He obviously didn’t believe it.

Eliana had no choice. She winked at Nana and silently mouthed, “Maurice.”

Damn it! It was him.

Nana immediately caught Eliana’s meaning. She suddenly shifted her position to be on Eliana’s side.

“Aileen, Adrian, since your mommy said it was just a colleague, he must be just a colleague.”

“But…” Aileen recalled the phone call. “The voice I heard sounded like the voice of Silas’ uncle.”

Silas’ uncle? Corbin?

How could Corbin’s voice sound like Maurice’s?

“Dear, you must have misheard. They are not alike at all,” Nana said.

“Yes, they are.” Adrian nodded in agreement.

Nana grew suspicious. It was impossible that both children had misheard.

She wanted to get the details from them.

“Nana, come here and have a look!”

Eliana had turned on her cell phone and been greeted by a ton of notifications from news sites and

social media.

The Internet was in an uproar. “Eli put on a display of haughtiness at the site of his latest commercial

shoot. He forced a female stylist to jump into a pool to pick up diamonds.”

The top comments were all criticizing Eli. Many were even from partners saying they would no longer

work with him.

How could the news of what had happened just today spread so fast?

Eliana couldn’t believe it.

“What’s wrong?”

Nana approached her. Eliana handed her the phone. “Have a look!”

Nana’s eyes widened as she scrolled through the news.

“Eliana, is this true? Did Eli really do this to you?”

Eliana sighed. “It’s true. Eli targeted me. He went too far today.”

“How dare he?”

Nana’s anger flared up and she looked like she was ready to fight Eli.

“Calm down!” Eliana threw water on the flames of Nana’s fury. “Here’s what happened…”

Eliana explained the whole story in detail.

“So Preston’s ring is in Eli’s hands now? Are you doing all this to get the ring back?” Nana finally

figured it out.

Eliana nodded seriously. “But now Eli doesn’t want to return the ring. Things are getting more and more

complicated.”

But this wouldn’t stop her.

Once Eliana was determined to do something, she would never give up.
