Chapter 496

“No! Don’t be fooled by this woman. She doesn’t have anything valuable!”

As he was driving the car, Sean overheard the discussion between Eliana and the two men in the

backseat. He became very nervous.

“Who said I don’t have any valuable stuffs? It’s clear you just want to keep it for yourself! Don’t be

fooled by him!”

Eliana persuaded the men in the back with her. She was so convincing that it was hard to tell she was

lying. At this moment, Eliana snickered in her heart.

Sean was cunning, but he wasn’t as good at acting as she was.

Upon hearing Eliana’s words, a gleam of greed shone in the eyes of the two men in black. Of course,

they wanted their share of the treasure she was talking about. Besides, the money Gerald had given

them was not enough. At that moment, the two men wanted to let Eliana go back to get the treasure.

Despite Sean’s explanations, they were determined to take Eliana to where the treasure was. Under

Eliana’s incitement, the two men, who were very strong, grabbed Sean.

Sean was stunned to see that the men he hired chose to betray him and side with the very person they

were supposed to abduct.

Now Sean, became the one who was kidnapped.

What an unexpected turn of events.

The two men tied him up and made him sit next to Eliana. He was speechless.

He didn’t expect that Gerald’s perfect plan would be ruined like this.

“You two better behave yourselves. Take out the treasure as soon as we get there, or…” one of the

men warned, giving them a threatening look. The two abductors then drove to the place Eliana

mentioned. It was the Pierce family’s house.

“Here we are.”

One of the men got out of the car and opened the backseat. He forcibly pulled Eliana out of the car.

Then, looking at the villa not far away, he asked, “Is the treasure here?”

“Of course! Just come in with me, and see for yourself,” Eliana said firmly.

“You’d better not play tricks on us!” the man said ruthlessly. Then, he grabbed Eliana and slowly walked

towards the villa.

They had taken a few steps when Eliana suddenly saw a familiar figure standing near the gate of the

villa. Although they were far away, she recognized him right away.

Maurice!

It was really him!

Eliana’s heart began to beat faster. She had hope now.

Without thinking twice, Eliana kicked her kidnapper violently on the shin. The man was caught off guard

and subconsciously let go of Eliana went he felt the sharp pain in his shin.

“Ouch!”

While the man was screaming in pain, Eliana rushed to Maurice. At this moment, she didn’t think much.

She knew she had to act quickly.

“Maurice, I’m here!” she shouted.

Maurice turned his heard in the direction of the voice and was startled to see Eliana running towards

him. He held out his arms and Eliana ran straight into them. He could finally hug her again.

Eliana’s nostrils were filled with Maurice’s familiar scent and her heart was warmed by his embrace. At

this moment, she felt secure.

Apparently as long as she was with him, she would feel safe.

At this moment, the abductor finally straightened up. His eyes widened in shock when he saw Eliana

and Maurice hugging each other so intimately. “Is your lover the invaluable treasure you were talking

about?”

Hearing what the man said, Eliana couldn’t help bursting into laughter. “Good! You guessed right!”

“You bitch! I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The two men rushed up angrily. They were determined to deal with Eliana and her lover.

However, when they saw Maurice’s face clearly, they froze.

Holding Eliana tightly, Maurice asked coldly, “Who did you say you were going to teach a lesson to?”

“You are Maurice Moran!” one of the men shouted in shock.

Damn it! They had offended the wrong person this time.

The men were frightened to their bones. They immediately turned around and ran away.

It all happened so quickly that Eliana didn’t even have time to figure out what was going on.

It took her a while to realize that she was finally out of danger.

She took a deep breath and cuddled up in Maurice’s arms. “Maurice, how did you find me?” she asked

in a low voice.

“Thanks to the phone,” Maurice said with a smile.

Hearing that, Eliana quickly looked up. “But the phone was not on,” she said confusedly.

“Well, I don’t need it to be on. I can locate you via the cell phone.”

As he spoke, Maurice lowered his head and looked Eliana in the eye. He hadn’t seen her for only a few

hours, but it felt like forever. He reached up and gently stroke her nose.

“Well, you’re safe. It is time to go home.”

“Home…”

For some reason, Eliana felt warm when she heard Maurice say the word “home”.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded.

“Okay. Let’s go home.”
