“Is this a joke? What have you been doing behind my back, Maurice?”

Gerald slammed the table in the conference room with a resounding thud.

Everyone in the room remained completely quiet, and no one made a sound. Some of them evenstepped a few steps away, scared of being drawn into the battle between the two enormous titans.

“Corbin.”

Angry, Maurice raised his voice. Corbin tossed a document at Gerald without delay.

“Uncle Gerald, I’ll let you look at it yourself.”

Frowning, Gerald grabbed up the document and went through it, squinting his eyes at it. His expressionabruptly shifted.

“A landslide killed numerous people two months ago, just as you were beginning construction of theresort. You didn’t do anything to fix it. You, on the other hand, made enormous measures to keep thestory from spreading, despite the danger, and continued with the resort project. Since another disasteroccurred in the resort a few days ago. For that, I’ll have to put an end to the project. The situation is allyour fault, Uncle Gerald, and I’m here to assist.”

Maurice’s comments caused a commotion. A lot of people were talking in the conference room. Theindividuals in attendance were only aware of the positive aspects of the resort and had no idea of thehorrible events that had occurred there.

Clearly… The situation was impossible. How did Maurice come by this information?

Gerald’s face went from pale to red, then from red to black, and his eyes displayed complex emotionssuch as fright, fury, and dread.

All of his earlier efforts would come to naught if he admitted that he was wrong.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Maurice.”

Gerald was still pretending to be out of the loop.

There was a palpable feeling of foreboding in Maurice’s deep voice and ice-cold gaze.

“Do not assume that I am unaware of your actions behind my back, Uncle Gerald. I advised you toabandon the project. You don’t seem to have paid attention to what I had to say.”

Maurice couldn’t be more right!

What was the extent of his knowledge?

Gerald’s forehead was wet with sweat. He was in a state of confusion.

“How can you think of me in this manner, Maurice? After all, I am your senior.”

Gerald put on a brave face and attempted to explain to Maurice, but he couldn’t come up with anythingto say that would make sense. After all, deceiving Maurice was no little feat.

Stiffness permeated the room. The police whistle blew downstairs before Maurice had a chance to sayanything.

“There’s no use in worrying about what I think about. You will go to the police and tell them whathappened. They will be interested in your story.”

Maurice then chuckled and smirked.

“I’m your uncle, Maurice. How dare you call the cops on me? If your grandpa discovers this, it won’t justslide!”

Gerald sprang out of his chair in disbelief at what was happening.

He clenched his fists and blue veins showed off on his arms as if he were about to engage Maurice incombat at any moment.

“If Grandpa replaces out what you’ve done, I’m afraid your demise will be far worse,” Maurice hissedcontemptuously.

Gerald’s enraged yell remained lodged in his throat, and the ensuing rage consumed his thoughts.

He couldn’t stand to stare at Maurice’s haughty expression. It seemed like Maurice had total controlover everything, while he was simply an ant beneath his feet that might be stomped to death at anymoment.

Gerald was reminded of his younger brother, Maurice’s father, with whom he could never compete.

A wicked smirk emerged on Gerald’s face out of nowhere.

“Keep your wits about you, Maurice. Do you believe that you are omniscient and omnipotent? That’snot right! You have no idea that the lady you love has children.”

“She has children?” This baffled Maurice.

“Yes, children, some other man’s kids.” Gerald’s lips curled up in a broad grin that became wider andwider. “Before being married, Eliana had children with another man. In the eyes of the Moran family,she is just not acceptable.”

“Why should I buy that?” Maurice stated quietly.

“Is there anything you’d want to tell them, Sean? I’m sure there is.” Gerald regarded Sean withconfidence.

Sean gulped and stepped out in front of the crowd’s gazes. “That’s right… Eliana really has twochildren, as I saw firsthand.”

Gerald watched Maurice with complacency as if he were certain that Maurice had no idea about thismatter.

Did Eliana have any kids?

Without realizing it, Maurice took a glance at Corbin, who seemed unsurprised. Instead, he chuckled.

Corbin whispered in Maurice’s ear, “Boss, they must have confused Nana’s twins for Eliana’s kids.”

“Even funnier is the fact that the father of Eliana’s children is a gigolo at Imperial Golden Club. You’reso bad, Maurice. You’re worse than a gigolo. You’re such a clown!” Gerald burst out laughing.

Maurice’s gaze abruptly shifted to him.

A gigolo!?
