Chapter 311

Eliana felt torn when she gazed at the children’s sleeping faces at night.

Her phone began to vibrate at the same time.

Who the hell would call her right now?

When she looked at her phone screen, she found that Eli was the one trying to reach her.

The preceding several days had been a whirlwind of things. She felt as though they hadn’t spoken in a

long time when she saw the name.

Eliana exited the children’s room and shut the door with care. Then she headed to the living room to

take the call.

She said, “Hello.”

For a little while, Eli remained quiet.

“Eliana, you… Are you doing okay?”

Eli was aware of the situation.

Even though Eliana was a bit taken aback by his question, she quickly realized that everyone who

knew her had to know about it.

Eliana’s face contorted into a sour grin as she said, “Not at all. I can comprehend what you went

through. Being a star, it turns out, isn’t as simple as it seems.”

“What became of Maurice? Why wasn’t he there to help you?”

When Eliana was mistreated, Eli became enraged at the notion that Maurice had done nothing.

Something else also made him mad—not being with Eliana at this very moment.

His questions threw Eliana off guard, and she had no idea what to say.

“You don’t need him. As long as there is nothing going on in your life, he cares about you. He’s also

prone to becoming envious. But he is nowhere to be found when you need him the most.”

Eli’s words left Eliana in a quandary.

“Eli, what’s the matter with you? I’m not connected to Maurice in any way. He owes me no duty of

assistance.”

Eli scoffed and commented, “Since Maurice is unwilling to assist you, I can step in. First, I’ll help you

get a safe location to hide. As of now, take a deep breath and let go of everything else.”

Eliana was ready to reject when a fantastic thought struck her in the blink of an eye.

To carry out her plan, she required Eli’s cooperation.

“Eli, I truly need your assistance. Tomorrow, I’m going somewhere, and then I’m going to…”

Eli agreed to her proposal without hesitation after a lengthy debate.

Before hanging up the phone, he reminded her once more, “Eliana, I will do what I promised you, but

you must promise me that you will be cautious and watch your six.”

Eliana’s heart was warmed. “Hey, take it easy. I’ll make sure to look after myself.”

Wilfred Morales, Maurice’s partner, and Maurice, who was now overseas, were having lunch together.

Wilfred’s gaze was drawn to Maurice’s swollen, wounded arm a few times.

In the end, his curiosity got the better of him, and he inquired, “Mr. Moran, I am sorry, but what

happened to your arm?”

For a split second, Eliana’s face appeared in Maurice’s head, making him motionless. His features

softened as well.

He didn’t say a word. He just smirked.

Maurice lifted his head and saw Corbin nearby. Corbin was pacing back and forth, clearly restless.

“What’s the matter?” As he beckoned Corbin over, Maurice questioned, a scowl on his face.

“Nothing. I just saw a lot of unanswered calls on your phone. Every one of them was from Mr. Todd. It’s

possible he had something important to say.”

“The odds for that are very low. Do not pay attention to him.”

Maurice didn’t take Wyatt’s calls seriously and went on with lunch.

Corbin returned to Maurice’s side when the lunch had almost come to an end. “Mr. Moran! Something’s

gone awry.”

He passed the phone to Maurice in a rushed manner.

When Maurice took a quick look, he saw that Eliana had been vilified online as a mistress. His eyes

narrowed.

Eliana was in hot water again in such a short period of time!

In a split second, Maurice jumped to his feet and said, “Go, Corbin, and make the travel arrangements.

It is imperative that I get on the next flight back.”

Corbin’s response was uncomfortable. “I just checked it, Mr. Moran. The next flight is scheduled for

tomorrow morning.”

Was there anything Maurice could do at this point?

He paused and turned his attention to Wilfred. “I heard that you had a helicopter, Mr. Morales. Do you

mind if I take it right now?”

Wilfred was shocked. “What is so urgent, Mr. Moran, that you must return immediately?”

“Something occurred to the lady who made me hurt my left arm,” Maurice stated hopelessly, raising his

wounded arm.
