Chapter 367

No, thanks.” Maurice waved his hand in dismissal. “She is very stupid. It would be pointless to teach

her. Besides, I don’t want to bother you, Mr. Stone.”

“Well, it will be my honor to teach Miss Pierce if she is willing to be my student.”

Kelvin wore a slightly devious smile.

This was the plan he had previously discussed with Harriet. Once he got their approval, he would

quickly move into action.

It didn’t matter what methods Kelvin used. One goal was clearly embedded in his mind. By whatever

means necessary, he was to find a way to separate Eliana from Maurice.

Upon hearing Kelvin’s insistence, Maurice’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stood silently in front of Eliana,

still unconvinced.

“I know for a fact that Miss Pierce is a great designer. How could she be stupid? Maurice, tell me what

is really bothering you. Don’t you trust me?”

Harriet chimed in, “Mr. Moran must be joking. How can Eliana be stupid? She is one of the brightest

minds in the fashion industry. On the contrary, I should be the one you called stupid. I can’t even get off

the horse properly. If you hadn’t caught me to prevent me from falling down just now, I surely would

have been injured and in an embarrassing situation.”

Maurice couldn’t help but frown. He immediately sensed that something was wrong after hearing their

words.

Why was Kelvin so eager to teach Eliana? What were his ulterior motives?

When Maurice was about to refuse again, Eliana suddenly uttered, “Okay, I agree! Please teach me.”

She didn’t know what was going on in Maurice’s mind. All she could think about was one thing.

Maurice had the guts to call her stupid!

How could she be stupid?

Eliana decided to show Maurice what a smart person she actually was. It was only a matter of time

before she made him eat his words!

She was so infuriated that she bypassed Maurice’s authority and agreed to Kelvin’s request.

Seeing how things turned out, Kelvin couldn’t believe his luck. He didn’t expect that it would be so easy

to trick Eliana.

Afraid that Eliana would back out, he immediately replied, “We have a deal! Since we have finally

reached an agreement, Miss Pierce, you can go and get changed first. We will wait for you here.”

Glaring at Maurice defiantly, Eliana strode away.

She went to the female dressing room, changing her clothes while sulking over the situation.

Truthfully, Eliana regretted the moment she agreed. Her pride had gotten the best of her. She just didn’t

want Maurice to look down upon her, so she accepted Kelvin’s offer to prove that she wasn’t stupid.

In her eyes, learning how to ride from Harriet’s uncle was equivalent to torture.

But she had no other choice. It was all Maurice’s fault! If he hadn’t insulted her in front of everyone,

none of this would have happened!

Eliana kept cursing him in her heart. To her surprise, Maurice came in as soon as she raised her head.

“Hey! What are you doing here? Get out and leave me alone!”

He was inside the female dressing room!

How could Maurice invade her privacy?

This was unacceptable behavior. He was just like a pervert!

Wearing only a vest, Eliana immediately covered her breasts with both hands.

“Why are you screaming like this? Don’t act as if I haven’t seen every inch of your body before.”

Maurice walked straight into the dressing room without any expression on his face. He acted like he

was at his own house.

Hearing his words, Eliana was left speechless. She couldn’t deny that what he had said was entirely

true.

Before she could even react, Maurice walked up to her and trapped her in a corner.

“Stay away from me.” Eliana nervously gulped as she felt her back press up against the wall.

“Why did you agree to Harriet’s suggestion earlier?” Maurice asked in a low voice.

When he mentioned Harriet, Eliana felt her blood boil. She glared at him and snarled, “Forget about

me! It’s none of your business! Why don’t you go and take care of your precious Harriet?”

What was going on here? Was she jealous?

Maurice felt amused upon seeing Eliana’s puckered mouth. Everything was suddenly clear now.

“Do you really want me to go to Harriet? You might regret it.”

Maurice bent over and leered at Eliana. He was so close that she could feel his warm breath.

Turning her head away in displeasure, Eliana tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart.

But her jealousy was too much to bear.

“Go and be with her. I don’t regret saying it at all!”

She was such a stubborn woman.

With an amused smile on his face, Maurice gently turned Eliana’s head to face him. This time, he got

closer to her.

“Well, I won’t make fun of you anymore. You can certainly try to put on a brave face when you ride a

horse later, but it’s no good if you get hurt. Let me tell you something. How about you don’t continue

your lesson on how to ride a horse?”

When Eliana was entranced by the handsome face in front of her, her heart beat faster. But she

immediately regained her senses upon hearing his suggestion.

It was obvious that Maurice thought so poorly of her!

“Nothing you say can change my mind! Get out this instant! I need to change my clothes!”

Eliana pushed Maurice away and hurriedly put on the coat.

Despite his constant objection, she ultimately decided to ride the horse today!

As she hastily swung the coat over her shoulders, something fell out of the coat’s pocket by accident.

Upon closer inspection, Eliana realized that it was a small blue box of condoms.

She was immediately taken aback.

What in the world was happening?

Who could have planted the box of condoms in her clothes?
