Chapter 483

The cold look on Earle’s face was very ominous. As soon as he walked into the room, he pointed at

Eliana and ordered the bodyguards behind him, “Get her!”

“What do you want?”

Lucia stood in front of Eliana to protect her.

“Lucia, get out of my way. This woman tried to murder Harriet. Just now, Harriet was unconscious!”

Earle roared.

He seemed to be convinced that Eliana was the one who tried to harm Harriet.

Eliana was shocked by Earle’s accusation. “I didn’t do anything! I didn’t hurt Harriet!” she protested.

Lilian suddenly walked in from behind Earle and pointed angrily at Eliana. “It’s you who tried to murder

Miss Stone! Miss Stone was fine but after you gave her flowers, she fainted. If you are innocent as you

claim, then who did it?”

“Flowers?” Eliana asked confusedly. “How could roses make someone faint?”

“You still want to deny? We found the bouquet of roses you gave to Miss Stone and also compared

them with the roses sent by the florist. The color of the roses’ petals had changed. You must have

poisoned them! What a vicious woman you are!”

Lilian’s words strengthened Earl’s conviction that Eliana was guilty. He looked at her with disgust.

Eliana was confused and wondered how the roses could have been poisoned.

She quickly thought the matter over.

It was Lilian who had forced her to come to the press conference and it was also her who had asked

her to give the roses to Harriet. Moreover, Lilian had personally handed her the roses.

Lilian had always colluded with Harriet. She would never have done such a thing if Harriet hadn’t

ordered her to.

Eliana suddenly realized that she had fallen into a trap.

Harriet wanted to set her up and she succeeded!

Eliana had figured out the truth, but it was too late.

Seeing that Eliana didn’t speak, Earle sneered, “Now you can’t deny it anymore, can you? I advise you

to tell me what you did, or I’ll take you to the police station to be severely punished.”

“I didn’t do it!” Eliana said firmly.

“You are still so stubborn and unrepentant! I can’t understand why Maurice is so obsessed about you.”

Earle was extremely disgusted with Eliana.

“I did not do it. I’m ready to swear in the name of the Pierce family that I had nothing to do with Harriet

suddenly fainting!”

Eliana was willing to swear in the name of her family to prove her innocence.

“We have proof of your guilt. It’s no need for you to swear,” Earle said curtly.

He didn’t want to believe anything Eliana said.

It seemed that no matter what Eliana said, he had already decided that she was guilty.

Hearing Earle’s words, Eliana scoffed, “What is the proof? Do you only rely on the bouquet of roses to

say that I am guilty? If that is the case, then you are so stupid that you don’t realize that you are fooled

by Harriet.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Earle snapped. He was furious.

“Nonsense? Why would I try to harm Harriet during the press conference when there were so many

people around? If anything happened to Harriet, people would quickly noticed it and I would definitely

be held responsible. Do you think I am stupid enough to do such a thing?”

Earle was stunned and didn’t know what to say to that.

“You said I poisoned Harriet. Why did I put the poison on the roses? I could have put it somewhere

more discreet, so that it wouldn’t be easily discovered. Besides, if I did poison the roses, why would I

give the flowers to Harriet in person in front of so many people? It would be stupid to do such a thing!”

Despite his anger, Earle couldn’t help but admit that what Eliana was saying made sense.

For a while, he was speechless and thought the matter over.

Earle was not stupid. He actually wasn’t very sure that Eliana was the one who harmed Harriet. He just

wanted to intimidate her and figured out if she was the culprit.

But he didn’t expect that Eliana wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied. Moreover, what she said

made sense. At this moment, Earle was uncertain about his accusation.

Was Eliana really innocent?

Earle was confused. For a while, everyone in the room was silent.

Seeing the hesitating look on Earle’s face, Lilian panicked.

“Mr. Moran, why are you still hesitating? Get Eliana!” Lilian said anxiously.

“Who dares to touch Eliana?”

Maurice’s voice suddenly sounded and the next moment, he walked into the room.
