Chapter 494

It was getting late at night, and the light was still on in Gerald’s room.

Sitting on an armchair, Gerald slowly sipped a glass of red wine.

He was busy watching the surveillance video on his computer. It was a video from Eliana’s bedroom.

Eliana didn’t know that Gerald had placed surveillance cameras in her room. Right now she was

sleeping soundly.

From the moment she entered the room, Gerald was watching her intently. She was like a bird in a

cage.

Gerald couldn’t help sneering when he saw the untouched milk on the bedside table.

He had actually put sleeping pills in the milk. However, he didn’t expect that Eliana wouldn’t drink the

milk at all. Apparently, she was very vigilant.

Unlike Eliana, Lucia had drank up the milk and fallen into a deep sleep. Even though Eliana did not

drink the milk, she was still sound asleep. He could take action now.

“Sean! Come in,” Gerald called out.

The door was opened almost immediately and Sean walked into the room.

“Mr. Moran, what can I do for you?” Sean asked respectfully.

“Now that Eliana is sound asleep, we can carry on our plan!” Gerald said with a determined smile.

“Okay! But there’s one thing I don’t understand,” Sean said with a confused look.

“Eliana is here with you. Why would you spend so much energy trying to make others believe she

escaped?” he asked.

Gerald was annoyed by his secretary’s stupid question. He cast a sidelong glance at Sean and said,

“You’re really an idiot! Everyone in the company knows that I have taken away Eliana. If something

happens to her, they would obviously know I have something to do with it.”

It wasn’t until he heard his boss’ explanation that Sean finally understood what his boss had in mind.

“I see. So that’s why you want me to pretend to be Maurice’s man and take Eliana away. You want to

frame Maurice!”

Gerald scoffed, “You might not be that stupid after all. If Maurice’s man takes Eliana away and

something bad happens to her afterwards, I can’t be blamed, can I? Maurice would take the blame, and

no matter how hard he searches, he will never find Eliana. In the end, I will be controlling him. At that

moment, I will make sure he suffers all the humiliations I have suffered because of him!”

“You’re a genius, Mr. Moran. You’ll achieve two goals simultaneously! Mr. Moran, I admire you so

much! You’re so smart!”

Sean’s praise was sincere.

Gerald then looked back at his computer screen. His eyes shone with lust as he looked at Eliana’s

sleeping figure. She looked so much like Ingrid!

Gerald had always been obsessed with Ingrid. Since he couldn’t get Ingrid, Eliana would soon become

his woman.

In the room, Eliana wasn’t really sleeping. Her eyes were only closed. She was about to fall asleep

when she suddenly heard someone turning the key to open the door.

His eyes widened in shock and the sleepiness suddenly vanished.

Who was trying to slip into her room at this time?

Eliana knew clearly that no matter who it was, the person clearly had ulterior motives.

She quickly got out of the bed and rushed to the door. She leaned against the door, trying to stop the

person from entering into her room.

“Who is it?” she asked dryly.

Dressed in black, Sean was standing outside the door. His face was covered with a mask. He was

stunned when he heard Eliana’s voice. He didn’t expect her to be awake. He quickly said in a low

voice, “Miss Pierce, open the door. I’m the person Mr. Moran sent to rescue you.”

It was Eliana’s turn to be stunned. “Maurice sent you here?” she asked again.

Sean pretended to be anxious and replied, “Yes, we have to leave here quickly. Miss Pierce, open the

door now. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late!”

Was this man really sent by Maurice?

Feeling something was wrong, Eliana asked tentatively, “What about Lucia?”

Sean couldn’t help wondering what was wrong with Eliana! Instead of trying to save herself, she was

worried about others.

Although he was a little impatient, he had no choice but to patiently explain, “She will be fine. She has

nothing to do with what happened today. The Stone family is determined to harm you. Mr. Moran is

afraid that Gerald would hand you to the Stone family, so he asked me to take you away as soon as

possible.”

Sean sounded very sincere. Moreover, his tone was anxious, as if there was really an emergency.

However, Eliana was still skeptical.

Could she believe a man she had never seen nor heard of only because he claimed he was sent by

Maurice to rescue her?

Being hesitant, Eliana was still unwilling to open the door.

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Sean decided to say something shocking to get her to open the door.

“Miss Pierce, there is one more thing that Mr. Moran wants me to tell you. He took your two kids to

another house for their safety. The little girl seems to be sick. That’s also why Mr. Moran asked me to

take you out in such a hurry!”

“What? Aileen is sick?”

In Eliana’s heart, her children were the most important for her. The moment Sean mentioned Adrian

and Aileen, she immediately panicked.

Hearing that Aileen was sick, Eliana quickly opened the door.

Seeing that she finally opened the door, Sean was ecstatic.

“You said Aileen is sick?” Eliana asked anxiously, grabbing Sean’s shoulder.

“Yes!”

Sean nodded seriously.

“Let’s leave here quickly. I have to take care of Aileen,” Eliana said anxiously.

She was so worried that she lowered her vigilance. She had no idea that she had fallen into Gerald’s

trap.
