Chapter 576

“Miss Stone, do you have anything else to say?” Maurice asked.

“I… Well, I…”

The evidence was irrefutable. How else could Harriet deny it?

At this moment, Bonita’s face darkened too.

Maurice stared at Harriet expressionlessly for a while. Then he asked coldly, “Did you pick on Eliana

yesterday?”

Harriet was so frightened that she shuddered and grabbed Bonita’s arm tightly.

Maurice didn’t wait for her to answer. He continued, “This is not the first time, right? Last time you

deliberately made yourself have an allergic reaction to frame Eliana with your own life. You have

completely crossed the bottom line of the Moran family this time.”

Every word he said made Harriet’s face grow paler and paler.

Earle and Nancy were shocked by the truth.

Seeing their reaction, Bonita felt heartbroken. She turned to Harriet and said aloud, “Harriet, tell me the

truth. Did you really do it?”

Harriet replied stubbornly, “Mom, I just didn’t want to give up just like that. I…”

“That’s enough!”

Before she could finish her words, Bonita interrupted her with a grim face. Bonita took her hand, stood

up, and apologized to Earle, “Mr. Moran, I apologize to you on behalf of Harriet. I didn’t expect that she

would do so many wrong things behind my back. I hope you will forgive her today.”

Bonita apologized so sincerely that Earle didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Bonita and Harriet didn’t have the face to stay in the Moran family’s house longer, so they

immediately left.

After they left, the atmosphere in the Moran family’s house became even more depressing.

Nancy looked at Maurice, and then at Earle. She was caught between her grandson and her husband.

She was in a dilemma now.

She knew that Earle wanted Maurice to marry Harriet because she was also from a wealthy and

influential family.

But with Maurice’s stubborn character, he would never allow anyone to make the decision for him, not

even his own grandfather. He would never marry someone he didn’t like.

Maurice and Earle always clashed because of many differences. Nancy didn’t know who to side with,

so she could only try her best to balance.

“Earle, don’t lose your temper now. Honestly, I’m not satisfied with Harriet. So it was good that Maurice

cut the Gordian knot quickly. Fortunately, Bonita had a clear mind. I don’t think what happened today

will affect the relationship between the Stone family and the Moran family.”

Maurice couldn’t help but sneer, “Grandma, you think too highly of her. Mrs. Stone is not as simple as

you think.”

When he said this, Earle snorted coldly but didn’t contradict him.

“I’ve been investigating them. Mrs. Stone’s husband and first daughter died in an avalanche. So she

doted on Harriet, her only daughter. Now she is a mother and the head of Stone Group at the same

time. She is a ruthless and resourceful person who can run the entire company by herself. She won’t

let her daughter do anything recklessly.”

Earle and Nancy thought that Maurice’s analysis was very reasonable. Nancy stared at Maurice as if

she was seeing the energetic Blair.

The little boy who didn’t know anything back then had grown into an independent and capable man.

If Blair and Brenda could see him now, they would feel happy and proud.

With tears in her eyes, Nancy said, “You’re right, Maurice. Since this is the case, there’s no need for

you to marry Harriet. You can choose your future wife by yourself.”

“Choose? I think he has already chosen,” Earle chimed in grimly.

“Maurice, let me ask you a question. Are you with that Eliana again?”

Eliana’s name was taboo in the Moran family. As long as any of them mentioned it, the atmosphere

would instantly become tense.

“Yes,” Maurice answered without hesitation. He didn’t want to hide the truth anymore.

When Earle saw Maurice look so calm admitting it, he fumed with rage. But he was angry not only at

Maurice but more at Eliana.

He was a wise old man. But in the end, he was fooled by a young woman.

“As expected, you are together behind my back. I thought that although that woman is poor, at least

she knows how to keep her words. I didn’t expect that she would go back on her promise now. She is

really from a lowly family.”

Earle was so overwhelmed by anger that he unexpectedly revealed the secret agreement between him

and Eliana.

This made Maurice’s head buzz. All the clues he had ignored were suddenly connected, allowing him

to draw an astonishing conclusion.

It turned out that Eliana’s disappearance had something to do with Earle.
