Chapter 260

The next day, by the time Eliana woke up, Preston had already left.

This time, Preston left with the ring, leaving nothing behind.

Reflecting on the crazy night yesterday, Eliana couldn’t help but slap her head. She smiled helplessly.

She was completely smitten by Preston’s charm.

Luckily, she had rid the room of every trace of the children yesterday. If Preston had found any

evidence, she would have had to open up to him.

Just to be on the safe side, Eliana decided to call Nana and ask her to stay away from home with the

two children for two more days.

As soon as the call was answered, Nana’s anxious voice came through on the phone.

“Eliana, watch the news. Something has happened.”

‘What’s going on?’ Eliana thought to herself.

She quickly opened Twitter only for her to see Eli’s apology statement.

Eli who had hit Maurice issued a public apology, hoping that Maurice could forgive him for his

impulsiveness.

The apology statement was quite detailed and honest.

Strangely, Maurice made no response to it.

But just now, the official account of the Moran Group suddenly released a message that due to Eli’s

misbehavior in recent days, the Moran Group would withdraw his advertisement and claim a high sum

as penalty for breach of contract.

The news instantly sparked a buzz across the internet.

Eli was fooled!

It was then everything became clearer to Eliana.

Perhaps, Maurice never wanted to let Eli off the hook from the beginning, and the reason why he didn’t

clarify it despite public pressure was because he wanted Eli to finish filming the whole commercial.

As soon as the commercial was done with, he immediately produced evidence to prove his innocence

and get back at Eli.

When Eli apologized under pressure, the Moran Group had a reason to bring a claim against him for

misconduct that damaged the group’s interests.

It was Eli’s fault. He had to pay for it.

Maurice perfectly planned his game. Now there was no escape for Eli.

Eliana was a little worried.

She felt Maurice was a terrifying person.

Eliana sighed and continued flipping through the Internet.

A large number of Eli’s loyal fans commented in the comments section of the official account of the

Moran Group. They rained curses on Maurice, using all kinds of terrible pictures. Some of them

clamored to go to the Moran Group to protest.

Eliana couldn’t put up with it and retorted when she saw a bad comment about Maurice.

Consequently, she was immediately chewed out by the aggressive fan who even threatened to track

down her details.

Eliana was so livid that she was about to harshly reply to the fan, but her phone rang.

It was Inger!

Why was she calling?

“Hello, what’s up, Ms. Sumner?” Eliana answered the call.

“Miss Pierce, can you do me a favor? I’m aware that you have a special relationship with Mr. Moran.

Please plead with Mr. Moran to let Eli go, okay?”

Special relationship?

Eliana smiled wryly. “Ms. Sumner, you’re wrong. I don’t have any special relationship with Mr. Moran.

He is just my former boss.”

“Miss Pierce, I know that Eli has wronged you before, but he is really not a bad person. You don’t want

to see him ruined, do you? Besides, if this continues, Mr. Moran won’t be able to get off the hook

either.”

As expected of a top agent, Inger made the stakes clear in just a few words, playing the pity party.

Eliana was indeed swayed. She suddenly remembered that only just a few days ago, Maurice was

beaten and scolded by Earle because of this matter. If things continued like this, Maurice would

probably be hit again.

“Okay, Ms. Sumner. I promise to do my best, but I can’t guarantee that Maurice will let go of Eli.”

“Thank you so much, Miss Pierce.”

After hanging up the phone, Eliana resigned herself to getting up from the bed and got dressed.

An hour and a half later, she was at the entrance of the Moran Group again.
