Chapter 480

After Maurice hung up the phone, Earle was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.

Earle was very anxious as their car got further and further away from the destination. He turned to his

assistant and said sharply, “You better find a way!”

Aleck quickly lowered his head. He was very embarrassed right now.

What could he do now? They had lost all chance of changing their situation.

Earle was furious. He snapped, “Damn it! Corbin must be the one behind all this. Is Corbin more

capable than you?”

Aleck didn’t say anything, but quietly turned off his phone.

He had just received a short message from Corbin, which read, “I’m sorry. I guess Mr. Moran’s pissed.

Take good care of him. Remind him to take medicine.”

Although Aleck was angry, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

He was the one who taught Corbin everything Corbin knew.

Since Corbin could trick him, it proved Corbin had finally finished his apprenticeship. How couldn’t

Aleck be proud of his student?

At this time, Harriet was still waiting at the gate of the Moran Group building. She didn’t know that

Earle, whom she had been waiting for impatiently because he might be able to help her, wouldn’t come.

It was getting late. Seeing that Earle was still nowhere in sight, Harriet grew increasingly anxious.

All of a sudden, a car rushed over. Harriet’s eyes lit up.

The car stopped right in front of Harriet. When the driver’s seat door was opened, Harriet was stunned

to see Gerald’s silhouette appear.

Her eyes darkened again.

Why was he here?

Gerald walked up to Harriet and said with a gloomy face, “You don’t need to wait. Neither my father nor

your uncle will come.”

Harriet was stupefied. She looked at Gerald in disbelief and asked, “How could this be?”

Gerald was furious and it showed in his eyes. With veins appearing on his forehead, he hissed, “It is all

Maurice’s work. Kelvin is stuck at home because of an adultery scandal and my father is stuck in traffic.

Maurice is really good at playing tricks!”

Harriet’s face turned pale upon hearing that.

She murmured in disbelief, “Does he hate me so much? How could he come up with such a plan just to

ruin the announcement of our engagement? Doesn’t even his grandfather mean more to him than

Eliana?”

Staring at Harriet who was absent-minded, Gerald said seriously, “Don’t be upset too early. You still

have a chance…”

“There’s still a chance?” Harriet muttered, a glimmer of hope passing through her eyes.

“Yes. It will all depend on whether you are capable of taking the chance or not. You should turn the loss

into victory…” Gerald was like a devil, constantly tempting Harriet.

Meanwhile, Eliana was busy sorting out the documents in the office. She didn’t have the faintest idea

what was going on outside.

Lilian suddenly rushed into the office.

“Eliana, the superior just said there weren’t enough people at the press conference. Come and help

them.”

As Lilian spoke, she reached out to grab Eliana’s arm.

However, Eliana dodged and said coldly, “No! You can ask someone else for help.”

“Everyone else is very busy. Do you think we all have nothing to do like you? You have to go today!”

This time, Lilian forcibly dragged Eliana to the room where the press conference was being held.

At this time, the rehearsal of the press conference had begun. Maurice and Harriet stood on the stage

together.

The two of them looked like a real couple.

Looking at the two people on the stage, Eliana felt like there was a heavy stone in her heart, making it

difficult for her to breath.

Lilian brought Eliana to the stage and said dryly, “After Miss Stone announces the cooperation, a

female employee is needed to present flowers to them on stage. That would be your responsibility. Do

you understand?”

Eliana looked at her coldly and said nothing. Her whole being was unwilling to do that.

“Why are you still standing here? Go and help Miss Stone adjust the microphone,” Lilian ordered,

pushing Eliana to the stage.

When Harriet saw Eliana, she immediately held Maurice’s arm as a sign of her relationship with him.

Seeing Harriet hold Maurice so intimately, Eliana felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a sharp knife.

However, she pretended to be calm and walked over to Harriet.

When Maurice saw Eliana, a deep frown appeared on his face.

“Eliana, what are you doing here? Didn’t I give you a task to do?”

Hearing that, Eliana stopped and lowered her head. She couldn’t help smiling bitterly.

She felt she had been ridiculous to have had a crush on Maurice.

She raised her head and replied mockingly, “Mr. Moran, you don’t need to drive me away. I’ll leave as

soon as I finish my work.”

Maurice was a little stunned when he heard that. He opened his mouth to explain something, but he

finally decided to keep quiet.

Harriet, who was standing next to Maurice, could clearly sense his care and love for Eliana.

That only made her extremely jealous.
