Chapter 398

The longer Eliana thought about it, the more she was convinced that her guess was right.

Just when she was about to ask Maurice if her guess was right, Harriet walked up to them.

“Mr. Moran, you’re finally here!”

Harriet was now wearing a lime green dress, her hair neatly brushed, looking like nothing had

happened.

When she saw Eliana and Eli, she couldn’t help teasing, “Eliana, your dance with Mr. Goodwin was a

splendid sight to see! You two were so well coordinated that it almost looked like you were a couple! I

never knew that you were romantically involved with an idol.”

Harriet seemed to be concerned that Maurice might not have noticed the unordinary relationship

between Eliana and Eli.

Obviously, Eliana was not having it. She immediately corrected her, “Don’t say such nonsense, Miss

Stone. Eli and I are just friends.”

However, Harriet wasn’t willing to back down either. She continued with a hint of sarcasm in her voice,

“Oh come on, Eliana! Don’t keep secrets from me and Mr. Moran. I really think that you and Mr.

Goodwin make a great match. If you’re worried about the paparazzi, don’t be. The paparazzi aren’t

allowed to get into the Moon Lake Manor. You two can have your romantic time in peace here. Your

privacy is guaranteed!”

When Maurice heard that, his eyes darkened.

Not only did Eliana wear such a sexy dress, she also danced with Eli?

“Eliana, you are really testing my patience!”

Maurice was completely irritated. He grabbed Eliana’s hand and was about to pull her away.

Clearly, Eli was not going to let him do that. He quickly grabbed her other hand and pulled her the other

way.

“Let go of her!” Maurice warned, glaring at Eli.

“No!” Eli was unfazed.

Neither of them seemed to be willing to let go of Eliana, and she was understandably embarrassed.

Two men fighting for a woman attracted the other guests’ attention.

“Look! Isn’t that the CEO of the Moran Group and the idol fighting over a woman?”

“Who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before?”

“Look at her! She was dressed like a slut. Maybe she’s a tramp from a nightclub!”

“Well, she has an amazing body! Look at her plump breasts and long legs! No wonder they’re both into

her. I am pretty sure that she’s great in the sheets too…”

People were commenting lewd and unpleasant things about Eliana.

Hearing their words, Eliana was very embarrassed and her eyes turned red.

She did nothing wrong. Why was she the one suffering?

“Let go of me, both of you!” she snapped, shaking off their hands. “I am begging you. Please, just leave

me alone, okay? Do you really have to make things difficult for me?”

Unwilling to give up, Maurice clenched his fist and tried to force her to come back to him, but when he

looked at her teary eyes, his heart sank to the bottom of his stomach, and he couldn’t utter a word.

Eli also felt guilty. He walked up to her and gently patted her on the shoulder as he said, “I’m sorry…

Please, don’t cry.”

He then stepped aside quietly, letting her walk away.

Lowering her head and sniffling, Eliana suppressed her sadness.

Neither of them stopped her.

She walked to a quiet corner to get a breath of fresh air. All of a sudden, she heard a sobbing voice.

Her hair stood on end. She was terrified and froze in fear.

Who was crying? Why was someone crying there?

Was… Was that a ghost?

The Moon Lake Manor was a few hundred years old, and in most horror movies, such places were

always haunted.

Oh, God! Could she even run away now? Or was it too late?

Gradually, the sobbing voice grew louder and louder until it sounded like it was coming from right

beside her.

Hearing that, Eliana turned her head stiffly and saw a girl in white, squatting in a corner, wailing, her

right hand covered in blood.
