Chapter 263

Eliana said nervously, “I’m not here for an interview today.”

What was the point?

Without saying anything, Maurice just blinked.

“About Eli, Maurice. Can’t you just let the poor guy go?”

Eliana made up her mind, closed her eyes, and blurted it out. She didn’t seem to want to rethink it.

Was she attempting to sway him for the sake of another man?

As soon as he realized this, Maurice’s eyes shrank and a melancholy mood swept over him.

He gave a frigid reply, saying, “Why should I listen to you?”

“What?”

Eliana didn’t expect such a reply.

“Aren’t you begging for Eli’s release? Why should I let him go?”

Did Maurice erroneously interpret something?

Eliana suddenly realized what he was thinking.

She really came here to beg for Maurice’s sake, not for Eli.

She witnessed how Eli’s crazed admirers assaulted Maurice and discussed how they would cause

problems in the Moran Group once again over the Internet.

Therefore, she wished for Maurice to end this situation as quickly as possible.

“Maurice, you misunderstand what I’m trying to convey to you. I am here for you, not Eli.”

Once she had her phone out, Eliana went to the Moran Group’s social media account and reviewed the

comments there. She wanted Maurice to see the inflammatory remarks and manipulated images that

had been made against him.

The phone was handed to Maurice, who had a look through it.

An angry look spread over the man’s face. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his face became more

irate.

As a result, Eliana hoped he would now believe her.

She had no idea how critical the situation was. Just as she was going to resume her proposition with

him, she heard Maurice yelling angrily at her, “You saw these comments?”

Maurice was enraged at the moment. Was Eliana enjoying reading the comments criticizing him?

Eliana was shocked to hear that. When she got her phone, she saw that all of her remarks in favor of

Maurice had been removed, leaving just the defamatory ones.

This was simply messed up! She couldn’t even explain herself in this manner.

Eliana was distraught. Except for her comments, none of the others were deleted. This was truly

unfortunate.

Eliana was forced to give up when she saw that Maurice’s expression was becoming more sinister by

the second.

“Let’s not bother with it because you don’t want to. I must go at this time because I have to deal with

something at home.”

It was a bad day for negotiating, unfortunately.

While speaking, Eliana took steps backward.

As soon as she reached the door, she spun around, opened it in an instant, and prepared to leave.

As if on cue, a large hand pulled her backward.

Harriet, who was on her way to report to Maurice with interview materials, occurred to walk in on this

situation by chance.

Once again, the door was shut, and Eliana collided with a robust chest.

“The Moran Group, Eliana, is not a location where you may come and leave as you choose!” Maurice

hissed in a husky tone.

Eliana’s breath was a bit jumbled for a minute. Just now, she appeared to catch a glimpse of Harriet.

Harriet seemed downbeat.

“Release me, Maurice. We’re in the firm. Miss Stone is standing outside. Be a good sport.”

Eliana’s efforts to free herself of him were unsuccessful.

“In the Moran Group, the ultimate word belongs to me.”

Her pleas were disregarded by Maurice. Eliana’s power was like a tickle to him.

“Eliana, I’m with you.”

“What do you mean with me?”

Eliana didn’t understand what he was trying to say.

“As long as you return to the Moran Group, I am prepared to accept Eli’s apology.”

In the end, Maurice came around.

“Eliana, are you interested in rejoining the Moran Group?”

Eliana instantly lifted her head and stared at Maurice upon hearing this. This guy was taking it quite

seriously.
