Chapter 273

It seemed as though Eliana’s heart had been pierced. She immediately stopped breathing and bowed

her head.

“See? It’s only fitting that Mr. Moran should fall in love with Miss Stone. Other women should avoid

fantasizing about marrying into a wealthy family. Don’t put too much stock in yourself.”

Lilian popped up. Her voice was sarcastic and snarky. She was virtually pointing her finger at Eliana

and chastising her for wanting something she wasn’t entitled to have.

Eliana was well-acquainted with the taunts of others. She had developed a resistance to the effects of

the taunts. She said in a measured tone, “Dreams are essential for human beings; otherwise they

would be like a dull fish. I am not like those who are just envious of others.”

Please! She was also very adept at using sarcasm!

As predicted, Lilian became enraged immediately. “About whom do you speak?”

“This is not about you. Don’t compare yourself so eagerly to my remarks.”

Eliana extended her hands wide in a fun gesture.

“You! How long can you remain complacent, Eliana? When Mr. Moran abandons you, don’t weep too

much!”

Lilian stormed out in a rage after failing terribly.

Eliana’s peace of mind vanished as soon as Lilian walked out the door. Harriet and Maurice’s intimate

encounter just now kept replaying in her head.

The attractive guy and the beautiful woman were an ideal pair.

However, Eliana was unaware that the minute she bowed her head, events did not unfold as she had

anticipated.

Maurice reacted quickly as Harriet stumbled over, and he ducked without hesitation.

Harriet landed squarely… On Corbin’s body after he dodged her.

Corbin was still dazed when Harriet laid her head on his shoulder and he smelled a heavy scent,

almost making him throw up!

So he had no choice but to abandon his gentlemanly demeanor and shove the frail lady out of his way.

Harriet stumbled, and her feeble visage became frozen.

She wasn’t expecting things to go the way they did.

Corbin apologized for his reaction, “Miss Stone, I’m really sorry about that. I wasn’t intending to push

you. However, the fragrance on your body… Achoo!”

He sneezed before he could finish what he was saying.

The sneeze was stronger than many words.

Maurice went away without so much of a glance at Harriet.

“Please wait, boss.”

Fearing that his nose might be harmed for the second time, Corbin also fled the scene.

Only Harriet was left in the hallway, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Cheryl’s agent, Janetta Clark, phoned Eliana shortly after that. She informed Eliana that Cheryl was

presently filming and invited her to the set in order to discuss the bracelet’s specifics.

Work was work. Despite the fact that Eliana felt a bit uneasy about going to the shooting location with

bracelet sketches to discuss with Cheryl, she decided to go nonetheless.

She nearly fell asleep at the shooting scene after waiting for many hours, but no one had come to

speak to her.

She couldn’t just wait.

Since Cheryl would not approach her, she would seek her out.

Eliana stomped her feet and smiled to boost her spirits. She made the decision to go out and find

Cheryl on her own.

However, the shooting area was vast and crowded. Eliana became confused and stumbled into an

isolated area not long after.

A coquettish feminine voice sounded out of nowhere.

“Why haven’t you seen me yet, honey?”

Then came the sound of a deep masculine voice.

“That’s because my wife is a mean-spirited tyrant and a stickler for her own rules, Babe. But I’m all

here now.”

“So what! I don’t give a hoot.”

“I get what you mean, okay? Let me kiss you, honey…”

What a scandal!

Eliana was nearly sickened by the arrogant snort, but the sweet feminine voice sounded familiar.

Eliana could not resist peeking out to have a look. She shouldn’t have looked!

Cheryl, the lady she was seeking, was the one having an affair with a married guy.

Eliana just discovered something significant.

She wanted to escape at the mere notion of this.

However, the moment she turned around, she received a phone call.

The calm area was rocked by the abrupt sound of her phone ringing.
