Chapter 489

After dealing with the Stone family in the hospital, Maurice and Corbin immediately rushed to thecompany for investigation.

The first thing Maurice did was to call Lilian to his office.

Lilian came almost immediately. “Mr. Moran, what can I do for you?”

She walked into the office with undisguised excitement on her face.

She had been working in this company for a long time, and she had never had the opportunity to be soclose to Maurice.

Seated behind his desk, Maurice looked calmly at the woman who had just entered the office. The raysof sun that filtered through the glass window and illuminated his face gave him an imposing andmajestic look.

“Lilian, I want you to tell me what happened exactly at the press conference today!”

A scary aura emanated from Maurice as he glared at the woman in front of him.

Lilian was stunned for a long while and didn’t say a word. Her heart began to pound in her chest forsome reason.

“Mr. Moran asked you a question!” Corbin suddenly said in a stern voice.

It wasn’t until then that Lilian came back to her senses. She asked tentatively, “Mr. Moran, is it aboutEliana?”

“You are not the one asking questions here. Just tell Mr. Moran everything you know,” Corbin saidagain.

Lilian felt her heart clench.

Why did the world revolve around Eliana?

Intense jealousy was burning in Lilian’s heart. “There’s nothing to say. She has always hated MissStone. Moreover, she was the one who put the Chinese rose among the flowers and caused MissStone to be sent to the hospital!” she replied coldly, barely concealing her hatred for Eliana.

“Why are you so sure that it was Eliana who did it?” Maurice asked coldly.

He was slowly losing patience.

“Because I have evidence!” At that moment, Lilian proudly took out a flower order receipt, on whichthere was Eliana’s signature. “Mr. Moran, this is proof that she bought the flowers.”

“Really?” Maurice sneered. He took the so-called evidence and looked at it carelessly. Then, he lookedback at Lilian and said, “I also have a piece of evidence here. Why don’t you have a look at it? Corbin!”

Corbin immediately took out a laptop and played a video for Lilian to watch.

On the video, Lilian was seen taking the flowers from the delivery man. Then she disappeared with theflowers for about ten minutes.

The weird thing was that the surveillance video that captured what happened during those ten minuteshad disappeared.

Corbin looked at Lilian and asked calmly, “Miss Gentry, can you tell us what you have done duringthose ten minutes?”

The moment Lilian saw the surveillance video, she broke into a cold sweat and her body stiffened. Shewas extremely scared. However, when she found that the most important part of the surveillance video

had disappeared, she slowly calmed down.

Since there was no footage of what she did during those ten minutes, Maurice couldn’t proof anything.

“I… I did nothing! I just took the flowers and put them in the lounge…”

Although Lilian tried her best to sound calm, her nervous tone revealed a sense of guilt.

“You are still lying!”

Corbin sneered and played the next video.

This video had been filmed in Harriet’s office. What the two women said could be heard clearly.

“Take care of this and you will be rewarded.”

“Alright, Miss Stone. I will do the job well! This time, we will kick that bitch Eliana out of the MoranGroup once and for all!”

In the video, Harriet was sitting on the sofa and calmly told Lilian what to do with the flowers. The videowas a bit blurry, but the conversation between the two was very clear.

“I… How could it be?” Lilian stammered in shock, staggering back. Her face suddenly turned pale.

How could this be?

How could there be a surveillance camera in Harriet’s office?

Did… Did Maurice put it there?

Lilian looked at Maurice in shock and fear, trembling all over.

Maurice looked at her coldly and said indifferently, “Do you have anything else to explain now? Wehave called the police to investigate the matter. Harriet has her family to protect her, so she has deniedher actions and might easily get out of this mess. The police consider this case as an attemptedmurder, which is very serious. They asked that we provide them with a list of suspects. Imagine whatwill happen to you if I hand this video to the police!”

“No! Please, don’t do that,” Lilian cried in panic.

She broke down completely. She was so scared when she heard the police had been involved and shemight be charged with attempted murder.

She begged Maurice earnestly, “It’s not my fault! It’s all Harriet’s plan. She asked me to do it! Mr.Moran, please! Please forgive me. I’m still young and don’t want to go to jail!”

Hearing Lilian’s confession, Maurice finally smiled. That was what he wanted to hear.

“Did you hear that, Mr. Stone?” Maurice said calmly.

As soon as he finished his words, Kelvin rushed out of the lounge inside the office. His face was darkwith rage.

“You idiot!”

He walked up to Lilian and gave her a hard kick.
