Chapter 319

“Don’t! Give my child back to me!”

Eliana awoke in terror, her entire face covered in cold sweats.

Her nightmare directly reflected her deepest fear, leaving her dazed for a long time after she woke up

from the dream.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Eliana’s eyes lit up. Someone was coming!

Several maids came in with a lot of things, including a quilt and food. One of the maids was even

carrying a vase filled with fresh lilies.

“What are you doing?” Eliana asked confusedly.

The elder maid replied, “These are all ordered by Mr. Moran. He said that it is cold here in the

basement and asked us to bring one more quilt for you. The food was also prepared by the chef. The

flowers…”

“Enough! Stop! I don’t want to stay here forever! What does he mean?” Eliana shouted in rage.

“He means he can give you everything you want, except for leaving the Moran family.”

“I have to leave! Maurice is such a bastard. I’m not going to let him lock me up like this!”

Eliana jumped out of bed, dashed out the door, and went upstairs.

When she reached the top of the stairs, out of breath, she noticed the door that was shut tightly. Her

eyes instantly lit up with a glint of hope.

Freedom was right ahead!

She rushed over excitedly and began twisting the doorknob.

She tried many times to twist the knob.

But she still failed to open the door.

Maurice had locked the door.

“Did you get enough exercise today? Do you want to go for a run before you eat? Of course, you can

take a shower first.”

Eliana shivered in fear as she heard a faint voice from behind her.

She turned around to see the maid standing behind her, smiling.

No wonder no one stopped her when she ran out of the room just now.

They already knew that she wouldn’t be able to go out.

“Miss Pierce, Mr. Moran said that you can go anywhere you want in this house, but you can’t go out or

surf the internet,” the maid said calmly.

Eliana got so furious and yelled, “Tell me, where is Maurice? I want to see him now!”

“I’m sorry, Miss Pierce, but he is very busy at the moment. He returned from abroad because of you,

and he has a lot of things to deal with. He asked me to tell you to stay here for the time being and not

to go out.”

The maid even imitated Maurice’s tone while conveying his words in detail.

Eliana sneered. “Does Maurice think I can’t do anything against him? From now on, I won’t eat

anything! I… I’ll go on a hunger strike!”

“Mr. Moran also said that if you dare to go on hunger strike and eat less, he will lock you up for one

more day until you listen to him,” the maid countered.

Maurice was one step ahead!

Eliana was now helpless. “I’ll… eat the food!” she said through gritted teeth.

The maid couldn’t help but snicker when she turned around.

Mr. Moran seemed to know Miss Pierce quite well. He could even predict her reaction.

Nicole burst out laughing while watching the surveillance video of Eliana’s live streaming.

She knew that Eliana would not give up easily.

Even if she didn’t have Maurice’s help, she would still protect herself and those around her with all her

might.

Esteban had also witnessed Eliana’s brilliant counterattack, and his opinion of her had shifted

dramatically.

“Miss Pierce looks so weak, but she is very tough and determined. She will risk everything to fight for

something very significant to her. She is really brave.”

Brave…

Esteban’s words tugged at Nicole’s heartstrings, and the smile on her face faded.

If she had been as brave as Eliana, would the ending of her and Wyatt’s story have been different?
