Chapter 550

Maurice turned around and was surprised to see an angry Silas standing behind him.

“What are you doing here, Silas?”

Maurice tried to explain, but he could see that Silas was furious and wouldn’t listen.

Silas shouted at Maurice in anger, “How could you do this? All you want to do is to control everyone

and have them at your beck and call. You are no different from Great-grandpa! I hate you!”

Silas’ accusations upset Maurice, and so he gave up on trying to explain. Instead, he snapped at him,

“Silas! You’re just a child and so you know nothing about what is going on!”

“No, that’s just an excuse and I’m not interested in it!” Silas’ face had turned red from anger and his

eyes filled with tears.

He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then turned and ran away.

Eliana stood up and tried to chase after him because she was afraid that something might happen to

him, but Maurice stopped her.

“No, let him be. He’ll think over it when he has calmed down,” Maurice said with visible anger on his

face.

As she heard him say that, Eliana sighed, thinking to herself how alike they were when they were

angry.

It was obvious that Maurice didn’t know how to take care of kids. If he could upset a well-behaved child

like Silas, then it meant he was just bad at parenting.

If he couldn’t even take good care of his nephew, how could she expect him to love her kids?

Eliana thought to give him some advice as she was more experienced in parenting. “Why were you so

harsh with him? Just like adults, children deserve some respect too. They are smart enough to know

everything. What you just did was wrong.”

Maurice was angry, but he could only laugh as he thought to himself that someone that couldn’t even

handle her own business, was the same person lecturing him.

“You have no right to accuse me of anything, I’m afraid,” he said sarcastically. “Since you claim children

know everything, do they also know about their real father?”

In fact, he had recently come to the conclusion that the twins did not know anything about their real

father, Jonathan. It was obvious she hid him from them.

“I’m not as cruel as you are!”

The color in Eliana’s face drained.

Every time she thought of the fact that she couldn’t reveal the identity of her kids’ father to them, she

felt guilty and was burdened by the thought. She knew that the thought of their father often saddened

the twins, but she didn’t expect that Maurice would use her weak point to attack her.

“You know, Silas was right when he said you’re no different from your grandfather!”

Eliana was disappointed, so she made up her mind not to tell him about the kids. There was no way

she could tell him.

She refused to look at Maurice after she had said that to him. Instead, she left him there, sulking, and

went in search of Silas who had run away.

Just like Eliana, the maid had also been looking for Silas.

As both of them bumped into each other, the maid didn’t waste time asking her, “Miss Pierce, did you

see Silas?”

“No, I’m looking for him too,” she answered, shaking her head.

The maid, confused, said, “Mr. Earle Moran has just called, and he asked why Silas didn’t go to school

today. We have been unable to find him. Do you think he has left this house?”

“No, I don’t think so. I’m sure he’s around here, somewhere,” Eliana quickly answered. “He’s a good

boy. He knows not to make us worried.”

The maid relaxed and asked, “Do you have any idea of where he might have gone to, Miss Pierce?”

“There’s no need for you to panic. He’s probably in the house. Go and get some more people. Let’s

search for him separately. I’m sure we’ll find him,” Eliana suggested.

All the servants in the house were instructed to search for Silas.

As Eliana walked into one of the bedrooms, she noticed that there was a crack in the wardrobe and a

cute pair of slippers under it.

Of course, Silas was there.

She tip-toed to the wardrobe and opened the door carefully.

There he was, curled up, inside.
