Chapter 478

“Ah!”

Lucia was so scared that she jumped up.

Eliana also started. When she clearly saw who it was, she walked straight up, tapped his forehead and

asked angrily, “Damn, Corbin, what the hell are you doing? Why did you sneak in here?”

Corbin patiently explained, “I didn’t sneak in. You were so serious, discussing something and you didn’t

notice me.”

Frowning, Eliana asked, “Well, why are you here?”

“I have something to ask you to do. I want you two to go sort through the documents in the Design

Department this afternoon. Don’t run around.”

“You want us to go sort out the documents?” Eliana muttered in confusion.

She sensed something was wrong. She was a jewelry designer! Why did Corbin ask her to work as an

assistant? And why did he specifically insist that they shouldn’t run around this afternoon?

Eliana remembered that this afternoon, the Moran Group was going to hold a press conference.

Did Corbin mean that Maurice didn’t want her to show up at the press conference?

Eliana thought she probably had guessed right.

Lucia had also figured it out. Being a straightforward person, she questioned Corbin directly, “Mr.

Jenkins, don’t you want us to go to the press conference this afternoon?”

Eliana stared intently at Corbin. She also wanted to know if she had guessed right.

Corbin felt nervous at the way the two women were staring at him.

He quickly shook his head and denied their guess. “No, you are thinking too much.”

However, Eliana was not fooled. Seeing the guilty look on Corbin’s face, she thought about the reason

for this press conference. It was intended to formalize the cooperation between the Moran family and

the Stone family. She also remembered the scene of Maurice and Harriet walking out of the office

together earlier.

She also thought of the ring Maurice gave to Harriet at the restaurant.

Eliana’s mind slowly put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Suddenly, she looked at Corbin seriously

and asked, point blank, “Corbin, will Maurice announce his engagement to Harriet at the press

conference?”

The moment those words came out, Eliana felt cold all over. She should have known this was

inevitable. After all, the best way to bind the two families together was through marriage.

Corbin didn’t expect that Eliana would think of this and he felt a chill all over. He quickly denied it.

“Absolutely not. Mr. Moran would never think of doing such a thing. Eliana, you must trust Mr. Moran.

He will handle everything well.”

Eliana sneered and didn’t say anything.

“So, do you agree to go sort out the documents this afternoon?” Corbin asked tentatively.

“Yes, I’ll get to it right away.”

With an expressionless face, Eliana strode forward.

However, Lucia was not as obedient as Eliana. She looked Corbin in the eye and said angrily, “I’m not

going! Why do you want us to disappear? Why should we disappear? Mr. Moran likes to bully people

too much. I want to talk to him face to face!”

Corbin felt annoyed and tried to calm her down. “Please calm down. If you want to help, you better help

me keep an eye on Eliana.”

“Help you? What do you mean?” Lucia asked confusedly.

Corbin then told Lucia the whole story.

“Oh! So that’s why you and Mr. Moran do not want Eliana to be at the press conference!” Lucia

exclaimed after she heard the explanation from Corbin!

“So, do you want to help me now?” Corbin asked again.

“Of course!”

After her discussion with Eliana, Harriet ran to the company gate and waited for Kelvin and Earle to

arrive.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Kelvin.

Harriet quickly picked the call. “Harriet, I’m afraid I can’t come to the press conference this afternoon…”

The man’s voice rang out from the other end of the line.

He couldn’t come! Harriet panicked and asked, “Why can’t you come?”

On the other end of the phone, Kelvin was very nervous. He had gotten himself into trouble.

He had seduced a married woman before and that caught up with him today. The woman’s husband

showed up in his house today to settle his scores with him. Kelvin was about to go out when he was

blocked at the door by that man. The man didn’t come alone. He came with a large group of people.

These people seemed to have carefully prepared their response. They even came with several

journalists.

“Now these people have besieged my house. I can’t go out at all…” Kelvin explained in a sad voice.

Harriet was almost driven mad.

Her uncle was really a good-for-nothing who never accomplished anything but always screwed things

up.

She was determined to make him pay bitterly if he screwed up her plan.

Harriet was so furious that she gnashed her teeth and cursed her unreliable uncle in her heart.

After thinking it over, she felt something was wrong.

Kelvin had always been a skirt-chaser. Why was it only today, when she needed him most, that karma

came back at him?

Did someone do it on purpose?

If so, then the person behind it didn’t want him to show up at the Moran Group.

The more Harriet thought about it, the more she felt it must be. Her expression gradually changed and

she looked ferocious.

What she didn’t know was that at this very moment, the people behind what had happened to her uncle

were hiding in the grass nearby and were secretly watching her.

Seeing Harriet’s fierce expression, Corbin and Lucia knew something had happened to Harriet’s uncle.

The two of them looked at each other with joy on their faces.

The first stage of the plan had been a resounding success.
