Chapter 314
The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy
âIt is a no-brainer thing to say that kidnapping is illegal. However, isnât it also against the law to coerce
someone into getting married?â Maurice said with conviction, trying to conceal the raging storm that
was building up in his chest.
âMaurice! What are you doing here? I was told youâre on a business trip abroad. When did you return?â
Eliana successively asked in surprise.
She wasnât expecting to see Maurice at all.
However, if there was anyone who had been utterly shocked by Mauriceâs unannounced arrival, it
would undoubtedly be Erica. Her eyes grew bigger, her fist clenched. Mauriceâs presence completed
the puzzle in her mind.
âIâve been racking my brain for an answer, but it turns out to be you. Maurice, you kidnapped Ivy, didnât
you?â she asked, chuckling sarcastically.
It hadnât even crossed Ericaâs mind that Maurice would go to such lengths for the sake of Eliana.
Furious, Erica roared, âMaurice, have you always been this dumb? Have you lost your marbles? You
are the renowned CEO of the Moran Group, yet you dared lower yourself to help a slut who got
pregnant with two children by a gigoloâ¦â
âShut up, Erica!â Eliana hastily shouted as traces of anxiousness filled her face.
Mauriceâs gaze, on the other hand, shifted between the two girls and he instantly confirmed something
was going on.
He was neither blind nor deaf. Since the tension between the two was unmistakable, Maurice wasted
no time and directly ordered his men to look into that matter further while he was on his way back. In
the end, he found out that Erica and Cheryl premeditated everything.
Even so, Maurice couldnât help but feel strange about Elianaâs odd behavior in the face of Ericaâs
provocation.
He was curious about how irrefutable the evidence Erica got up her sleeve for Eliana to be scared to
death.
With that, waves of thoughts flooded Mauriceâs mind. He wondered what Eliana was hiding from him.
Erica mentioned two children, right? Was she referring to the twins? Was it possible that those two kidsâ
mother was not Nana?
Maurice stayed silent despite a chaotic mind. His expression remained blank, making it difficult for
Erica to decipher his thoughts.
What she realized, however, was Elianaâs weakness.
Erica knew the only reason Eliana was so afraid of her children being exposed was that Maurice might
break up with her once he found out about them.
With that in mind, Erica smirked and didnât hold back. Her heart was brimming with wickedness,
overpowering her ability to stay logical. Determined to destroy Eliana, Erica swept her gaze at
everyone and pointed her finger at the trembling gigolo, Sam.
âIt was him! He was the gigolo who slept with Eliana back then. I have a witness! Eliana, if you think the
skeletons in your closet wonât come out, youâre wrong. Remember that there are no secrets time does
not reveal. Admit it because thereâs no use in denying it,â Erica boldly announced.
All eyes then fell on Sam.
The latter hadnât even calmed down entirely since Maurice arrived with a group of people. He had
never been used to receiving excessive attention, so everyoneâs scorching gazes made him feel more
nervous and uncomfortable.
âGo ahead and tell them the truth, Sam. Tell them that you slept with Eliana five years ago!â Erica
ordered.
Faint traces of guilt flashed on Samâs face, but Erica didnât notice them at all. Instead, she constantly
forced him to tell the truth.
Not long after, Maurice, who had always known the truth, stepped forward, unable to watch and stand
still from the side any longer.
He walked casually toward Sam and gave him a grim look.
âDid you have sex with her back then?â Maurice asked in a cold and sharp tone.
Sam, on the other hand, almost stepped back in fear. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead,
unable to meet the beastly gaze of the man before him.
Not wanting to worsen the situation, Sam didnât dare lie anymore. He gulped down his saliva in
nervousness and unhesitatingly unveiled the truth.
âNo! Of course not! Nothing happened between the two of us because I went to the wrong room. I
didnât touch her or share a bed with her. Sir, please believe me,â Sam admitted.
He shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, looking utterly sincere about his words.
âYouâre lying!â Erica exclaimed in anger. She strode toward Sam, held his shoulders tightly, and added,
âWhy did you lie to me if it wasnât you then?!â
âItâs because I am in desperate need of cash! You said you would give me a large sum of money if I
agreed to marry this woman, so how could I refuse?â Sam replied in both embarrassment and
frustration.
He could only heave a deep sigh in the face of such a situation. Great! What kind of situation did I get
myself into? Now, I am in great trouble, and I canât even get paid after all this humiliation! He thought
helplessly.
Hearing Samâs reasonable answer, Erica could only look at the floor, feeling utterly weak. âIf you didnât
sleep with Eliana back then, who else could it be?â she muttered.
Ericaâs voice wasnât that loud, but her words swiftly pierced through Elianaâs ears. Her heart then wildly
pounded as if horses were running inside her chest.
Eliana could feel her strength gradually depleting, but her eyes automatically searched for the man who
had been calm since he arrived. Suddenly, she felt like all the trivial clues she had were slowly making
sense.
