Chapter 480

After Maurice hung up the phone, Earle was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.

Earle was very anxious as their car got further and further away from the destination. He turned to hisassistant and said sharply, “You better replace a way!”

Aleck quickly lowered his head. He was very embarrassed right now.

What could he do now? They had lost all chance of changing their situation.

Earle was furious. He snapped, “Damn it! Corbin must be the one behind all this. Is Corbin morecapable than you?”

Aleck didn’t say anything, but quietly turned off his phone.

He had just received a short message from Corbin, which read, “I’m sorry. I guess Mr. Moran’s pissed.Take good care of him. Remind him to take medicine.”

Although Aleck was angry, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

He was the one who taught Corbin everything Corbin knew.

Since Corbin could trick him, it proved Corbin had finally finished his apprenticeship. How couldn’tAleck be proud of his student?

At this time, Harriet was still waiting at the gate of the Moran Group building. She didn’t know thatEarle, whom she had been waiting for impatiently because he might be able to help her, wouldn’t come.

It was getting late. Seeing that Earle was still nowhere in sight, Harriet grew increasingly anxious.

All of a sudden, a car rushed over. Harriet’s eyes lit up.

The car stopped right in front of Harriet. When the driver’s seat door was opened, Harriet was stunnedto see Gerald’s silhouette appear.

Her eyes darkened again.

Why was he here?

Gerald walked up to Harriet and said with a gloomy face, “You don’t need to wait. Neither my father noryour uncle will come.”

Harriet was stupefied. She looked at Gerald in disbelief and asked, “How could this be?”

Gerald was furious and it showed in his eyes. With veins appearing on his forehead, he hissed, “It is allMaurice’s work. Kelvin is stuck at home because of an adultery scandal and my father is stuck in traffic.Maurice is really good at playing tricks!”

Harriet’s face turned pale upon hearing that.

She murmured in disbelief, “Does he hate me so much? How could he come up with such a plan just toruin the announcement of our engagement? Doesn’t even his grandfather mean more to him thanEliana?”

Staring at Harriet who was absent-minded, Gerald said seriously, “Don’t be upset too early. You stillhave a chance…”

“There’s still a chance?” Harriet muttered, a glimmer of hope passing through her eyes.

“Yes. It will all depend on whether you are capable of taking the chance or not. You should turn the lossinto victory…” Gerald was like a devil, constantly tempting Harriet.

Meanwhile, Eliana was busy sorting out the documents in the office. She didn’t have the faintest ideawhat was going on outside.

Lilian suddenly rushed into the office.

“Eliana, the superior just said there weren’t enough people at the press conference. Come and helpthem.”

As Lilian spoke, she reached out to grab Eliana’s arm.

However, Eliana dodged and said coldly, “No! You can ask someone else for help.”

“Everyone else is very busy. Do you think we all have nothing to do like you? You have to go today!”

This time, Lilian forcibly dragged Eliana to the room where the press conference was being held.

At this time, the rehearsal of the press conference had begun. Maurice and Harriet stood on the stagetogether.

The two of them looked like a real couple.

Looking at the two people on the stage, Eliana felt like there was a heavy stone in her heart, making itdifficult for her to breath.

Lilian brought Eliana to the stage and said dryly, “After Miss Stone announces the cooperation, afemale employee is needed to present flowers to them on stage. That would be your responsibility. Doyou understand?”

Eliana looked at her coldly and said nothing. Her whole being was unwilling to do that.

“Why are you still standing here? Go and help Miss Stone adjust the microphone,” Lilian ordered,pushing Eliana to the stage.

When Harriet saw Eliana, she immediately held Maurice’s arm as a sign of her relationship with him.

Seeing Harriet hold Maurice so intimately, Eliana felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a sharp knife.However, she pretended to be calm and walked over to Harriet.

When Maurice saw Eliana, a deep frown appeared on his face.

“Eliana, what are you doing here? Didn’t I give you a task to do?”

Hearing that, Eliana stopped and lowered her head. She couldn’t help smiling bitterly.

She felt she had been ridiculous to have had a crush on Maurice.

She raised her head and replied mockingly, “Mr. Moran, you don’t need to drive me away. I’ll leave assoon as I finish my work.”

Maurice was a little stunned when he heard that. He opened his mouth to explain something, but hefinally decided to keep quiet.

Harriet, who was standing next to Maurice, could clearly sense his care and love for Eliana.

That only made her extremely jealous.
