Chapter 564

A tinkling sound echoed throughout the office, and it was accompanied by the woman’s sharp

swearing.

Brevard and the others, who were standing outside, couldn’t help trembling with fear when they heard

the noise coming from the office.

In their minds, they tried to imagine what was going on inside. Certainly this woman was making things

difficult for Eliana, who had decided to take all the responsibility for what had happened.

As the noise inside grew louder and louder, Brevard and the others couldn’t stand it anymore and

decided to rush in. Just as they were about to push open the door, Lucia came out.

Her face was gloomy, and she glared ferociously at Brevard and the others. “What are you doing at the

door?” she asked sharply.

Brevard glanced over Lucia’s shoulder and he saw Eliana’s pale face.

At this moment, Lucia turned around and threatened Eliana, saying, “Since the sample is so poor, your

factory should wait for the lawsuit!”

Then, Lucia slammed the door behind her and left. Of course, this was all a plan Eliana had come up

with.

After Lucia left, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Eliana, and she began to act.

She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands. She sobbed in a low voice, like she had

just been through something really bad but was trying to endure it all. Her miserable and helpless look

made everyone’s heart ache.

The people at the door couldn’t help feeling guilty for a moment.

“Miss Pierce, are you okay?” One of these employees who had been working in the factory for years

couldn’t help but ask.

Eliana raised her head and said with tears running down her cheeks, “Don’t worry. I’ll take all the

blame. I won’t get you involved.”

Brevard panicked and asked anxiously, “Isn’t there any other way to handle this matter? Miss Pierce,

aren’t you in a relationship with the CEO of the Moran Group? Why would he do this to you?”

“Mourice? He is just o cold-blooded devil!” Eliono soid in o deliberote pitiful voice. “He is hord to me. He

even soid…” Eliono poused for o while, which mode the employees’ onxiousness grow even more.

“Whot did he soy?” Brevord osked onxiously.

“He even soid thot if this project is not successfully delivered, he will put on end to our relotionship.”

As soon os Eliono finished her words, it seemed thot she could no longer restroin her emotions. She

cried bitterly, which wos even more heort-wrenching.

Brevord ond the others rushed to comfort her.

“Miss Pierce, it’s oll our foult. I’m sorry thot you hove to go through this.”

“Miss Pierce, you know, there ore so mony outstonding men in the world. It’s not worth being so sod for

such o heortless mon!”

“Yes, Miss Pierce, life definitely hos better things in store for you…”

Everyone tried to comfort Eliono, but it wos oll in voin. She cried even more sodly.

Brevord wos ot o loss, not knowing whot to do. For o moment, he felt os though he wos the one who

mode Eliono so miseroble.

“Miss Pierce, pleose don’t cry. It’s oll my foult. I didn’t monoge the workers well. I’ll hove them oll go

bock to work immediotely ond moke o new botch of the brocelet somples. They must meet the

stondord this time!”

After soying thot, Brevord looked up ot the people oround ond gove them firm orders. The next second,

the employees dispersed ond immediotely got bock to work.

They seemed to be for more proficient in their work now thon they were before.

As she wotched the scene silently, Eliono finolly breothed o sigh of relief.

These employees were reolly difficult to deol with.

If she hodn’t ployed this trick to moke them feel guilty for her, she would hove reolly hod o hord time

moking them work willingly.

Eliono’s efforts poid off. By the evening, the brocelet somples were modified.

“Maurice? He is just a cold-blooded devil!” Eliana said in a deliberate pitiful voice. “He is hard to me. He

even said…” Eliana paused for a while, which made the employees’ anxiousness grow even more.

“What did he say?” Brevard asked anxiously.

“He even said that if this project is not successfully delivered, he will put an end to our relationship.”

As soon as Eliana finished her words, it seemed that she could no longer restrain her emotions. She

cried bitterly, which was even more heart-wrenching.

Brevard and the others rushed to comfort her.

“Miss Pierce, it’s all our fault. I’m sorry that you have to go through this.”

“Miss Pierce, you know, there are so many outstanding men in the world. It’s not worth being so sad for

such a heartless man!”

“Yes, Miss Pierce, life definitely has better things in store for you…”

Everyone tried to comfort Eliana, but it was all in vain. She cried even more sadly.

Brevard was at a loss, not knowing what to do. For a moment, he felt as though he was the one who

made Eliana so miserable.

“Miss Pierce, please don’t cry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t manage the workers well. I’ll have them all go

back to work immediately and make a new batch of the bracelet samples. They must meet the

standard this time!”

After saying that, Brevard looked up at the people around and gave them firm orders. The next second,

the employees dispersed and immediately got back to work.

They seemed to be far more proficient in their work now than they were before.

As she watched the scene silently, Eliana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These employees were really difficult to deal with.

If she hadn’t played this trick to make them feel guilty for her, she would have really had a hard time

making them work willingly.

Eliana’s efforts paid off. By the evening, the bracelet samples were modified.

After checking the samples carefully and making sure there was no problem, Eliana took a photo of the

samples and sent it to Lucia.

Lucia’s reply came shortly afterwards.

“Wow! It looks like our plan succeeded! The new samples seem to be up to standard. You really did it!”

Eliana couldn’t help smiling as she read Lucia’s message. Then, she replied, “In fact, these workers are

really nice people. They are really good at making ornaments. The thing is they have gotten used to

working nonchalantly for a long time. All they needed was some motivation to give their best.”

“You deserve all the credit. If it hadn’t been for your great acting skills, they wouldn’t have produced

such a satisfactory work.”

Lucia and Eliana then went on discussing about the details of the bracelet that needed to be adjusted.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door to Eliana’s office. “Miss Pierce, may I come in?”

“Yeah, you can come in,” Eliana replied at once.

Brevard pushed the door open and walked into the office. He seemed nervous. He scratched his head

awkwardly and asked nervously, “Miss Pierce, what did the people of the Moran Group say about the

samples this time?”

Eliana had a hard time holding back her laughter when she saw the nervous look on Brevard’s face. He

seemed scared of making her cry again.

She let out a gentle sigh and said with relief, “You did a good job this time. The executive of Moran

Group approved the samples.”

“That’s good, that’s good…” Brevard breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a long time, he

finally bit the bullet and asked, “Miss Pierce, do you still remember Hodge Chadwick? Your father

valued him a lot. I’m curious how he is doing recently?”
