Chapter 407

Early the next morning, Eliana woke up with a start. There was someone knocking persistently at thedoor.

She forced her eyes open, and her mind was still in a daze.

The knocking grew louder as time went on. Eliana sat up and yawned, taking a moment to absorb hersurroundings.

Where was she? What happened last night?

Maurice was already awake at this time. Seeing the confused look on her face, he suddenly had anidea. It was the perfect opportunity to pull a prank on her.

While she was still groggy, he suddenly grabbed her shoulder and said worriedly, “Run! My wife isback. She can’t catch you in my bed. You have to leave immediately or all hell will break loose!”

What in the world was he talking about?

His wife was at the door?

Was she going to let herself get caught cheating with Maurice in bed?

Not a chance! She had to run now before it was too late!

With her mind still stuck in a daze, Eliana quickly believed Maurice’s story.

“Oh no! I have to get out of here fast!”

As soon as Maurice finished his words, Eliana jumped out of bed and headed for the door.

Maurice suppressed his laughter and exclaimed, “Wait, where are you going? My wife is right outside!You can’t escape that way!”

“Oh, you’re right! Where should I go?”

In a panic, Eliana scanned the room for an alternative exit.

Moments later, her eyes fell on the big window a few feet away.

She couldn’t pass through the door, but she could certainly jump out of the window!

Without wasting another second, Eliana pushed the window open and prepared to jump.

“Stop!”

Maurice rushed over and put his arms around her waist, pulling her to safety.

“Are you out of your mind? You actually want to jump down the window? What if you got seriouslyhurt?”

Maurice held her tightly in his arms, afraid that the little fool would attempt to jump out of the windowagain.

After finally calming down, Eliana regained her senses and realized that she had been fooled the wholetime.

“Maurice, you are such a big jerk! How dare you trick me like this? Since when did you have a wife?You’re unbelievable!”

Maurice burst into laughter when he saw the furious look on her face. She was like a little girl throwinga tantrum.

“Why did it take me this long to realize how stupid you are?”

Laughing uncontrollably, Maurice struggled to catch his breath.

“Stop making fun of me!”

Eliana’s face turned red with embarrassment. She was so angry that she picked up a pillow from thebed and threw it directly at Maurice’s head.

“You’re such an asshole! Stop laughing, or I’ll hit you some more!”

Maurice was unfazed by her actions. He simply let her vent her anger and continued to mock her.

While the pair were laughing and teasing each other, Corbin kept knocking on the door.

After several minutes of being ignored, he sighed and shouted, “Hey, boss! Are you available now? Ineed to speak to you. It’s urgent.”

Maurice snatched the pillow from Eliana’s hands and suddenly became serious. “All right, that’senough. We’ll continue this later.”

Hearing his words, Eliana crouched and paused to catch her breath. She was exhausted after messingaround with Maurice.

Smoothing out his clothes, Maurice shouted at the door, “You can come in now.”

Wearing a sheepish smile, Corbin awkwardly walked into the room.

“What is it?” Maurice asked calmly.

“Boss, your grandfather is here. He wants to see you.”

Eliana’s mind suddenly went blank. It seemed like bad news.

“Oh no!”

Maurice smiled lightly and waved his hand reassuringly.

“It’s probably nothing important. Just sit tight and stay here. Everything will be fine.”

Maurice rubbed her shoulder affectionately, put on his coat, and walked out of the room.

When the door was shut, Eliana sat on the bed and sighed.

Why was she so unfortunate to meet such people who despised her?

Earle was much more frightening than the idea of Maurice already having a wife.

The old man never liked her. He always said that she was a tramp. He had even threatened that if heever saw her in Maurice’s bedroom again, he would skin her alive!

Moreover, an unpleasant encounter with Earl in the past continued to haunt her. His chilling words thatday had never left her mind.

Earle showed that the Moran Group was responsible for the demise of the Pierce Group, driving themto bankruptcy and tearing her family apart.

Thinking of this, Eliana lowered her head and felt depressed.

Suddenly, a distinct whistling sound interrupted her thoughts.

The noise came from outside. Giving in to curiosity, Eliana walked to the window and peered below.

Her eyes were greeted by a long convoy of numerous bodyguards and servants waiting by thedriveway.

As the patriarch of the powerful Moran family, Earle deserved to have a grand entrance when heshowed up at any place.

After the leading car pulled up to the driveway, the door of the glistening Rolls-Royce opened, andEarle walked out slowly with the beautiful Harriet holding his arm.
