Chapter 497

“But we still have one thing to deal with.”

After saying this, Maurice took Eliana to the car.

At this moment, the two men in black were already nowhere to be seen. Sean, who was tied up, was

left alone. He couldn’t even move at all.

“Mr. Moran… Long time no see.”

Sean greeted Maurice with embarrassment and guilt written all over his face. He looked at Maurice,

standing in front of him with an overwhelming aura. He was so scared that he shrank back.

“Sean, how are you doing?”

Maurice looked at Sean with a playful smile. He was thinking about what to do with Sean when Sean’s

phone suddenly rang.

Everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on the lit screen, and they saw that the name of the caller was

“Boss.”

A cold smile crept across Maurice’s face. He picked up the phone and answered it.

“Sean, it’s been so long. You haven’t gotten her done yet?”

It was Gerald, and he sounded impatient.

“Gerald, who is the ‘her’ you are talking about?”

Gerald was shocked to hear Maurice’s voice.

“Maurice, why it’s you? Where is Sean?”

Maurice squinted his eyes, glanced at Sean, and sneered, “He’s right next to me. Do you want to talk to

him? Are you going to talk about… how you planned to take Eliana away and frame me?”

Gerald thought that Sean was really stupid. Sean screwed it up again.

“Maurice!” Gerald shouted angrily. “Don’t be complacent too early. Remember that I still have another

woman in my hands.”

“Are you talking about Lucia?” Maurice asked in a relaxed tone. “Lucia is a member of the Todd family.

You can keep her if you want. But remember that if you don’t send her back, the Todd family will come

to you and make trouble for you.”

Gerald was shocked again. He had never thought that Lucia was from the Todd family.

He was so dumbfounded that he didn’t even realize that Maurice had already hung up the phone.

At this moment, the panicked voice of the servant suddenly came from outside the door.

“Mr. Moran, something bad happened.”

“What happened?” Gerald asked angrily.

“Miss Todd got up and asked for a midnight snack. She ordered a lot of expensive food.”

“What?” Gerald got more furious.

Now that he knew that Lucia was from the Todd family, he couldn’t offend her. So he could only swear,

“Screw that midnight snack! Let her go immediately!”

The servant immediately went back to inform Lucia. But after a while, she returned to Gerald

dejectedly.

“What’s wrong this time?”

Gerald had already lost his temper.

“Mr. Moran… Miss Todd said…” the servant stammered. “She wants the chef to cook for her, and she

will take it home. Otherwise, she won’t leave.”

“Fine! Give her what she wants. Let the chef cook for her.”

Gerald had never thought he had to spend a lot to send Lucia away. This time, he could say that he

overshot himself.

But it shouldn’t be like this.

He couldn’t suffer losses for nothing.

Gerald immediately picked up his phone. He would call Earle to complain.

Since all the conspiracies were smashed, Maurice and Eliana returned to the Pierce family’s house

safely.

At this time, Adrian and Aileen were not asleep yet. When they heard the door open, they quietly got up

from the bed, walked to the door, and opened it slightly.

They peeped through the gap and saw Eliana and Maurice enter the villa together.

Upon seeing that Maurice and Eliana were a bit intimate, Aileen turned to Adrian and asked excitedly,

“Adrian, do you think Mommy and Mr. Moran had a date?”

“Maybe,” Adrian replied sulkily.

“If this goes on, will we have a new father soon? This handsome Mr. Moran will be our new father,”

Aileen said with longing on her face.

However, Adrian seriously opposed it. “No way! I don’t like him. He is a bad guy.”

Aileen put her hands on her waist, pouted, and argued, “You’re wrong. He is a nice guy. He even gave

me flowers.”

The two of them began to argue until Nana noticed them.

“Children, why are you not in bed yet?”

She held them in each arm and dragged them back to the bed.
