Chapter 412

Seeing what Earle had just done, Harriet immediately decided to jump at the chance to flatter him.

“Amazing, Mr. Moran. I never thought of adding alcohol to my coffee. I’ll definitely recommend it to my

family when I get home.”

“You should indeed ask them to have a try. The only thing that sucks is the vodka, which isn’t the best,”

Earle said, taking a sip of his alcoholic coffee with delight.

“Speaking of liquors, Mr. Moran, I remember Maurice’s uncle’s wine factory is full of good wine. I’ve

been here a long time, but I haven’t met him.”

Harriet’s words suddenly reminded Earle of something. The old man frowned and turned to rebuke

Maurice.

“You bastard! What’s going on between you and Gerald? I heard you reported him to the police! He is

your uncle, damn it! It’s the whole family you’ve humiliated!”

Earle slammed his cane on the floor as he spoke. He seemed very angry and agitated.

“I’m sorry you take it that way, Grandpa, but what Uncle Gerard did is illegal. I couldn’t sit idly by and

watch him continue his illegal activities. It wasn’t just him he was putting at risk, but the whole Moran

Group as well!”

“Stop talking nonsense, you bastard! It was just a small matter. You didn’t need to involve the police.

We are a united family, damn it! If the Moran family is where it is today, it is because we have always

supported each other. Can you understand this?”

Earle was really beside himself and he refused to listen to Maurice’s explanations.

“A small matter?” Maurice sneered.

He guessed that his uncle hadn’t told his grandfather the truth at all.

If Earle had known Gerard was risking human lives for the resort, he would definitely have been

furious.

So there was no doubt that Gerald had lied to Earle. Seeing that his grandfather was not in a good

mood now, Maurice didn’t want to tell him the truth right away and risk breaking his heart.

Maurice therefore decided to keep silent.

Earle and Maurice had the same temperament. They were both determined and stubborn men who

would never back down when they had made up their minds.

As the situation was about to get out of hand, Harriet saw fit to get them to calm down.

“Mr. Moran, please, calm down. Maurice, you should apologize to your grandpa. You have to admit that

you made a mistake. Your uncle may have acted without thinking about the consequences, but you

can’t deny that he always tried to act in the best interests of the Moran Group.”

In fact, Harriet had noticed that Earle seemed to particularly care about Gerard, so she decided to

speak well of Gerard in order to ingratiate herself with Earle.

Sure enough, Harriet’s words made Earle calm down a lot.

“Maurice, did you hear what Miss Stone said? Such a woman is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of

the Moran family. You’d better marry her as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Moran…”

Hearing what Earle said, Harriet lowered her head, pretending to be shy.

Maurice looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and suddenly said, “Miss Stone, I too would be

happy to have you join the Moran family. Welcome.”

“Maurice, are… are you serious?” Harriet asked, her eyes widening in shock and her heart beating fast.

Was her dream coming true?

Maurice smiled impishly and uttered, “Of course I’m serious. Uncle Gerald lost his wife many years

ago. Since you seem to like him so much, maybe you can ask him to marry you.”

Harriet’s face changed drastically upon hearing that. When she realized that Maurice was making fun

of her, she felt extremely embarrassed and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Maurice, even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to humiliate me like this!” Harriet complained

pitifully.

“You bastard! Would you stop talking nonsense?”

Earle was furious. He raised his cane to hit Maurice.

However, as soon as he raised the cane, his body suddenly stiffened.

His chest heaved violently and his breathing quickened. He quickly lowered his arm and covered his

chest with his hand.

Harriet rushed over to Earle, looking seriously worried. “Are you okay, Mr. Moran?”

Then she looked up at Maurice and screamed, “Maurice, come here! Your grandpa must be having a

relapse. Call the doctor!”

However, Maurice didn’t move a muscle. He sat there calmly and didn’t even raise an eyelash.

“Come on, Grandpa. You are too old for this. You don’t need to act anymore!”
