Chapter 516

Eliana was silent for a moment, trying her best to suppress all the reluctance in her heart. She said

firmly, “I have already thought over it, and I must do it.”

“Okay, since you’ve decided, I’ll support you. So, what should we do next?”

When she saw that Eliana had made up her mind, Nana had nothing else to say. Eliana was her best

friend, so she would certainly support Eliana.

Eliana’s eyes unconsciously turned red. She was moved and felt lucky to have a friend like Nana, who

was always on her side no matter what.

“Nana, thank you so much. Don’t worry. I’ve asked Rosamond to help cover up our whereabouts. And

I’ll pay all the money I owe Maurice, so we’ll be free by then.”

Nana didn’t expect that Eliana arranged everything so well. And although she didn’t want her best

friend to miss out on her own happiness like this, she would still respect Eliana’s choice.

“Then let’s get started.”

Eliana and Nana divided the work and quickly packed their things, ready to leave that night.

When everything was packed, the taxi called by Eliana came.

After the driver helped them load their suitcases in the trunk of the car, Eliana and Nana picked up the

sleeping Adrian and Aileen, respectively, and embarked on their trip.

In the darkness of the night, the car gradually drove towards an unknown destination.

On the other side of the world, Maurice knew nothing about Eliana’s departure. At this moment, he was

in a meeting with Wilfred abroad.

“Mr. Moran, I heard that you handed over all the projects to your uncle, Gerald. Is this true? And why?”

Wilfred asked, looking at Maurice in disbelief.

They were in the conference room now.

Maurice picked up his coffee and said calmly, “It’s just some normal transfer within the company. It’s no

big deal.”

“It’s infighting, right?” Wilfred pointed out the key directly. As a shrewd businessman, how could he not

see the real reason behind the sudden change?

Maurice was about to take a sip of his coffee, but his hand froze midair upon hearing this. He raised his

eyes and looked at Wilfred deeply.

“Mr. Moran, I’ll be honest with you. If you didn’t come this time, I was going to withdraw my investment.

You also know that your uncle has a very bad reputation in the industry. I’m afraid that the infighting

within the Moran Group will affect my business.”

Wilfred was straightforward. He only cooperated with the Moran Group because of Maurice. Once

Maurice was no longer involved, there was no need for him to continue the cooperation.

“Mr. Morales, rest assured that those are all rumors. I am still the one in charge of Moran Group.”

The calmness and confidence in Maurice’s voice soon dispelled Wilfred’s doubts.

He laughed. “Sure enough, those are rumors. I’m relieved then.”

The atmosphere in the conference room eased a lot in an instant.

Then Wilfred suddenly changed the topic.

“By the way, I also heard that you and the Stone family are about to cooperate on a land development

project. I’m actually interested in it as well.”

“Oh…” Maurice raised his eyebrows. “Mr. Morales, do you have any suggestions?”

Wilfred smiled like a cunning fox. “It doesn’t count as a suggestion. I know you want to do real estate

development. I know a world-famous architect here, and I want to introduce him to you. What do you

think?”

“Since he has your recommendation, of course, I trust your judgment. I also hope this cooperation will

be successful.”

After the negotiation, Maurice successfully resolved this urgent issue.

On the surface, he looked like he was concentrating on his work. But his mind was full of Eliana’s

images while she said goodbye to him that night in front of her home.

The uneasiness in Maurice’s heart gradually deepened. He couldn’t tell why, but he felt that Eliana was

behaving strangely at that time.

Something was wrong. Something was really wrong.
