Chapter 340

After talking with Maurice, Eliana took Corbin back to her previous house to meet Kimora.

Because of Maurice’s acquiescence, Eliana entered the house alone, while Corbin stayed outside with

his men.

For the past two days, Kimora had been locked up at that house. Despite the fact that she didn’t have

to worry about food, she couldn’t communicate with the outside world either. She was terrified.

When she saw Eliana was standing in front of her unharmed, she dashed over to her.

“Miss Pierce, you are finally back! We were so worried about you. I have been locked up here and have

no idea what’s going on outside.”

Kimora excitedly grabbed Eliana’s hand and looked her up and down.

Eliana gently patted Kimora’s hand and said, “Kimora, I’m sorry to make you worried. I’m actually here

to free you.”

“Really?” Kimora’s eyes lit up in an instant.

Eliana nodded. “Yes. Thank you for looking after Aileen and Adrian after I came back from abroad. I’m

truly grateful for everything you’ve done for me and the kids. But let us now bid goodbye to each other.”

Kimora’s expression shifted dramatically. “What exactly do you mean, Miss Pierce? Don’t you

remember that Jonathan sent me to take care of you? You can’t fire me.”

“Kimora, I’m here to ask you a favor,” Eliana said seriously. “I know you have been secretly in contact

with Jonathan. Please help me in making it clear to Jonathan that whatever happens to me from now

on has nothing to do with him. I hope he stops trying to monitor and control my life.”

Jonathan had helped her during the most difficult period of her life. She was extremely grateful to him.

But she now had a new life. If Jonathan continued to meddle in her life, he would be crossing the line.

Eliana’s words stunned Kimora, but she could sense her determination.

This time, Miss Pierce was serious.

Kimora sighed. “Miss Pierce, have you really thought it over? I must remind you that Mr. Bowman is not

someone to be trifled with.”

Of course, Eliana had known Jonathan for five years and knew his temper better than anyone else, but

she had already made up her mind.

“Kimora, I understand. But I don’t want to think about it for the time being.”

When Kimora realized Eliana had made up her mind, she just sighed and stopped trying to persuade

her.

“And Kimora, after you leave here, you’d better not work for Jonathan anymore. You should either retire

early or find a leisurely job because your grandchildren surely miss you.”

Kimora’s face softened.

Eliana then took out a bank card and handed it to Kimora. “Take this portion of my savings.”

“Miss Pierce, you… you don’t have to do this. Mr. Bowman has paid me enough,” Kimora said, refusing

to accept it.

“Kimora, you should take what Jonathan gives you. You earned it. But this is my little gift,” Eliana

insisted.

Kimora softened after a while. She stepped forward with teary eyes and hugged Eliana.

“I can tell you’re a good mother, Miss Pierce. I am a woman too. I understand how difficult your life is.

Don’t worry. I’m not going to talk nonsense to Mr. Bowman. I sincerely hope that someday, things will

finally fall into the right places for you, Aileen, and Adrian.”

Eliana felt a lump in her throat when she heard that. “Thank you, Kimora. Goodbye,” she said as she

hugged Kimora back.

It was still early when Eliana walked out of the house. She didn’t want to go back to her old house yet.

She had nothing to do there anyway.

Looking around at the seemingly-deserted neighborhood, she complained, “Corbin, I should have been

working at this hour.”

“Eliana, you can go back to work if you want. Consider it as another job to accompany Mr. Moran,”

Corbin said seriously. “In that way, you may be able to earn more money.”

“Don’t you always accompany Maurice? Did you make more money?” Eliana retorted.

Corbin was rendered speechless.

At that moment, Corbin received a call from Maurice.

“Boss, what’s up?” Corbin immediately answered the phone.

“Is Eliana done?”

“Yes.”

“You don’t have to take her back to the Pierces’ house. Bring her to the Blooming Restaurant.”

Maurice then hung up the phone.

Corbin looked at Eliana but didn’t exactly know how to tell her about the change in her schedule.

Eliana, on the other hand, had deduced it from his expression.

Maurice wanted to see her. Her temporary freedom was over.

“Look, am I like Maurice’s exclusive lover who is on call?” Eliana sneered.
