Chapter 518

“Gerald! You still have time to be idle in your office now? Do you even know what is happening

outside?”

Earle heard about the news. Seeing that the Moran Group was in a mess now, he was even more

dissatisfied with Gerald.

Harriet quickly stood up and spoke for Gerald. “Mr. Moran, please don’t be angry…”

However, Earle interrupted her, “Miss Stone, don’t talk yet. I want to listen to what Lucia will say first.”

He then waved his hand, and Lucia walked out from behind him.

Harriet’s eyes opened wide in shock and she wondered what Lucia was doing there. She had already

fired Lucia, right?

Lucia stood beside Earle and began complaining, “I just mentioned Maurice in the meeting today, and

Miss Stone fired me. Mr. Gerald Moran said that Maurice would never come back again.”

Harriet was even more surprised when she heard Lucia call Maurice by his first name only.

She frowned and retorted unhappily, “Be careful with your words. Don’t forget that you are just an intern

here. Who gives you the courage to sow discord in front of the chairman?”

But Lucia was not afraid of Harriet at all. She held Earle’s arm and said, “Mr. Earle Moran gave me the

courage.”

Harriet was so shocked that her mouth gaped open. “What do you mean?”

Earle coughed to clear his throat and said, “I’ve arranged Lucia to work here as a kind gesture to the

Todd family and to train her as well.”

Harriet’s face turned pale at once.

She never thought that Lucia was from the Todd family.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have offended Lucia.

Earle stared at Harriet with his sharp eyes and continued, “I arranged an internship for her here. But

I’ve heard that she has been bullied since she came in. Only Eliana was working with her, right?”

Harriet felt a chill down her spine. At the thought of all the bad things she had done to Lucia before, she

explained, “No, everyone in the company is very friendly to Miss Todd. They were only a little strict on

her because they wanted to help her learn.”

When Lucia heard that Harriet started to call her Miss Todd now, she curled her lips in disdain.

Sure enough, Harriet pretended to be nice to her as soon as Harriet knew her identity.

“Dad, Miss Stone is right. How can anyone bully Lucia here? There must be some misunderstanding

here.”

Gerald also spoke for Harriet. After all, they were allies.

At this moment, Earle also noticed that Gerald and Harriet were helping each other. He sensed

something was wrong.

It seemed that Gerald and Harriet were rather familiar with each other.

Gerald was his son, so he naturally knew Gerald very well. Gerald wouldn’t help anyone if there wasn’t

something to be taken advantage of. There must be something in Harriet that Gerald wanted.

It seemed that there was something between them.

Earle knew Gerald and what was on Gerald’s mind.

So he said, “Gerald, listen to me. Stop playing tricks. Because you are my son, the Moran Group will

always have a place for you. But the future will belong to the next generation. I’m warning you, don’t

dream about getting what’s not going to be yours. Otherwise, you will end up with nothing.”

After saying this, he felt extremely exhausted.

Earle drove Maurice away and gave Gerald a chance.

But it seemed that he had made the wrong decision. It looked like Gerald didn’t deserve this chance at

all. Gerald would probably never be better than Maurice.

Gerald and Maurice were both members of the Moran family. But why were they so different from each

other?

Earle didn’t say anything more. He just turned around and left in disappointment.

Harriet didn’t want to give up just like that. She hurriedly followed him, wanting to defend herself and

discredit Eliana.

“Mr. Moran, please listen to me. Miss Todd is very close to Eliana. Eliana must have said something to

her…”

Before Harriet could finish her words, Earle’s phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Eliana.

“Mr. Moran, as I have promised, I left while Maurice was on a business trip. I hope you can also keep

your word. Return everything that belongs to him.”
