Chapter 338

Eliana knew that it would be difficult for Corbin to do it, so she took out her cell phone and called

Maurice.

Maurice was in his office, talking about business with Harriet.

When he saw that the call was from Eliana, he stood up and took his phone over to the window to

answer it.

“Hello. What’s going on?”

Maurice sounded exhausted.

“Maurice, Nana just told me that you imprisoned Kimora. Can you let her go?” Eliana said bluntly.

Maurice’s eyes narrowed and a rueful smile appeared on his face.

Eliana always managed to irritate him with her worries about unimportant people.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think that I’ll release her just so that she can run to Jonathan and tell

him everything? Have I been too lenient with you, Eliana? Do you really think it’s wise to try to bargain

with me now?”

If she didn’t pacify him right away, Maurice was likely to fly into a rage.

Eliana decided to change her demand.

“You don’t have to release her right away. I just want to see her,” Eliana stated in a gentler voice.

“See her? So you can conspire with her to communicate with Jonathan so he can save you?” Maurice’s

icy voice was thick with sarcasm.

“Yes, I do want Kimora to take a message to Jonathan for me.”

Eliana’s words were shocking.

“So you dare to admit it?!”

Maurice was getting closer and closer to losing his temper.

“Maurice, calm down and hear what I have to say. I want to ask Kimora to tell Jonathan not to come to

me again in order to prevent trouble in the future. I want to sever ties with him completely.”

How could she change her tune so quickly?

Maurice’s initial reaction was to disbelieve her.

She had tried to run away before. Why had she suddenly decided to break up with Jonathan?

Something was off…

“Maurice, trust me. I’m telling you the truth. I’ve decided to stay with you. Kimora is just a worker who is

paid to follow orders. She is unable to stir up any trouble,” Eliana explained patiently.

It was true that she wanted Maurice to release Kimora, and it was also true that she wanted to break up

completely with Jonathan.

Sooner or later she would repay Jonathan all that she owed him, but not in the form of love.

It was best for both of them that they parted ways as soon as possible.

Her words caused waves inside Maurice’s heart, like a stone thrown into a lake.

Eliana said she would stay with him…

Maurice was stunned for a moment.

Although he was still suspicious of Eliana’s motives, hearing her say this calmed him.

Maybe he should give her what she wanted.

She had to cut ties with Jonathan sooner or later, and sooner was better.

“Alright, I’ll allow it. But remember your promises. Don’t let me down. If I find out that you secretly

contact Jonathan, the price of your dishonesty will be steep.” Maurice finally agreed.

Eliana signed with relief. “Thank you.”

After hanging up, Maurice went back to his chair again and continued his conversation with Harriet. He

was obviously in higher spirits.

Harriet noticed his improved mood.

Who had he spoken to on the phone?

Harriet thought of the expression on Maurice’s face… Had it been Eliana?

The more Harriet considered this, the more certain she became.

Now she finally understood why there had been a lot of discussions about Eliana on the Internet

before, but now there was nothing. No matter how hard the media tried, they could not find any

information about Eliana. It seemed the Maurice had already hidden her away.

Jealousy burned in Harriet’s heart. “Mr. Moran, I have something to report to you,” she said tentatively.

“Say it.” Maurice didn’t even look up at her.

“It’s about Eliana of the Design Department. She hasn’t shown up to work in a long time, even though

she has a big project to deal with. If this goes on, it will become difficult for me to run things without her.

What do you think…”

Maurice’s face had already darkened.

“I still haven’t settled accounts with you. Why did you give Cheryl’s case to Eliana?”

It seemed to Maurice that all of the trouble had started with Harriet privately giving Cheryl’s case to

Eliana.

Maurice didn’t believe that Harriet hadn’t done something behind his back.
