Chapter 250

Before Eliana could answer Maurice’s call, Eli stopped her.

“What do you mean by that?” Eli demanded. “What do you mean by saying that I deserve it?”

Eliana tried futilely to shake off Eli’s hand.

“It’s the truth,” she snapped. “If you hadn’t provoked Maurice for no reason, the public wouldn’t have

attacked you and this wouldn’t have happened.”

Anger burned in Eli’s stomach.

“You’re biased towards Maurice!” he sneered. “You care so much about him. Have you told him that

you have children?”

Eliana froze. “How does whether I have children or not have anything to do with Maurice?”

“What if I told him?” Eli said passionately.

“How dare you!”

Eli smiled. He had finally located Eliana’s weak spot.

“Eliana, I don’t have to tell him. As long as you let me stay here a little longer, I will keep your secret.

What do you say to that? You know, there is a big difference between Maurice hearing this from you

and hearing it from other men.”

“I’ll think about it. Let go of my hand. I have to answer the phone.”

Eliana was upset, but determined to answer the call.

But Maurice had already hung up.

He stared at the phone and felt his heart sink.

Just now, Maurice went to visit Eliana, but Inger told him Eliana left with Eli. Eliana probably didn’t

answer the phone because she was with Eli.

The thought of Eliana being alone with Eli made Maurice’s stomach churn.

When Corbin saw Maurice’s expression turn sour, he guessed that it was because of Eliana.

Eliana could make Maurice react in ways that no one else could.

“Mr. Moran, if you want to see Eliana, how about we go out to find her?”

“Who said that I want to see her?” Maurice snapped. “I’m thinking about how to deal with Gerald. He

has been playing games recently. It is quite possible that he asked Grandpa to come today.”

Corbin suddenly remembered something.

“Mr. Moran, I heard someone went to the Imperial Golden Club to investigate Preston and was sent

away. Do you think it was Gerald?”

Why would Gerald try to investigate Preston?

Did he know the relationship between Maurice and Preston? Or was it because of Eliana?

Maurice couldn’t sit around and wait.

“If he is bored and needs something to do, I will give him something to occupy his time.”

Maurice went straight to Gerald’s company.

Gerald was in a meeting.

Recently, he had profited from investing in a resort. He was planning to continue his investments and

further develop the resort.

Gerald was calm and confident until the door of the conference room was kicked open.

Maurice coolly entered with his men.

“What’s going on? Where are the security guards? Why didn’t they stop these people?” Gerald glared

at the receptionist.

The receptionist’s face was as pale as ashes. “Mr. Gerald Moran, we couldn’t stop them…”

“So you’re in a meeting? I assume you won’t mind if I sit in.”

Maurice found a seat and sat down.

Maurice looked up at the plan of the resort that was on the screen. “Don’t develop anymore,” he said.

“Maurice, what are you talking about?”

Gerald had a feeling in his stomach.

“Because…” Maurice explained. “It will close down tomorrow.”
