Chapter 490

Lilian cried buckets while Kelvin was very furious. Before she could react, he had already kicked her tothe floor.

Maurice just watched the farce expressionlessly. Then he said calmly, “Now that everything is clear,Corbin, call the police right away.”

“No, you can’t do that. Mr. Moran, you can’t call the police.”

Kelvin immediately stopped them.

“Mr. Stone, you were so eager to call the police before, right? Why are you backing down now?”Maurice looked at Kelvin playfully.

Then he turned to Corbin again and said, “By the way, ask the legal team of Moran Group to prepare acase against Harriet for sabotaging the entire press conference. The Stone family shall bear all thelosses caused by this incident.”

“Maurice, don’t push me too far. If you dare do this, aren’t you afraid that the cooperation between theStone family and the Moran family will fail?” Kelvin threatened aloud. But there was lingering fear in hiseyes.

“Oh, the cooperation?” Maurice sneered coldly, “Should I be afraid? If the cooperation between theStone family and the Moran family won’t push through, the Moran Group can go to the Deleon family orthe Todd family. Although they are not as powerful as the Stone family, their willingness to cooperate isbetter than your Stone family.”

“That’s impossible! Aside from the Stone family, no one else will dare to buy this land with you,” Kelvinshouted in shock.

“Why impossible? Not long ago, the Todd family made a few discreet inquiries with me about the land.So once the Stone family leaves, I think the Todd family will be very willing to take over the project.”

At this moment, Kelvin was completely flustered.

If he messed up this cooperation because of this incident, the shareholders of Stone Group would notlet him go.

“Mr. Moran, don’t be too impulsive. We can still discuss it.” Kelvin compromised. “Tell me, what are yourconditions to pretend that nothing has happened?”

“Okay, let’s cut to the chase. I want the Stone family to give us another five percent of the profits in thiscooperation.”

Maurice was straightforward in putting forward his condition.

“Five percent?” Kelvin blurted out. “You are too greedy.”

“That’s the new contract. It’s up to you if you sign it or not.”

Maurice took out the new contract and threw it in front of Kelvin.

Kelvin clenched his fists, and blue veins stood out on his temples.

It seemed that Maurice had designed this trap long ago. Maurice even had the contract prepared.

If he signed this contract, it would greatly damage the interests of the Stone Group. But if he didn’t,knowing Maurice’s character, Maurice might kick the Stone Group out of the cooperation.

So he had to reassure Maurice first.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kelvin signed the contract, gritting his teeth.

“Mr. Moran, are you satisfied now?”

Maurice took the signed contract and looked at it. He then said indifferently, “It’s over now, and I willleave Lilian to you, Mr. Stone.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Moran. I will give this culprit the most terrible punishment in the world.”

Kelvin stared at Lilian viciously. She ruined the Stone family’s business, and he wished he could kill hernow.

“Mr. Moran, please don’t hand me over to him. It was my fault. I know what I did was wrong.”

Lilian felt cold all over. She curled up on the floor in pain and kept shaking her head.

But Maurice didn’t even look at her. He stood up and said to Kelvin, “Mr. Stone, take care of yourself.I’m going to hold an emergency press conference to explain the accident today to prevent the MoranGroup’s stock price from being turbulent.”

Then he turned around and left, followed by Corbin.

On the way to the press conference, Nana called Corbin frantically.

Corbin was in a dilemma, staring at his phone that kept vibrating.

After a while, Maurice got annoyed. “Answer your phone.”

It was only then that Corbin turned on the Bluetooth headset and answered his phone.

“Hello?”

“Corbin, you bastard! What took you so long to answer your phone? I’ve been calling you countlesstimes. Don’t you even check your phone?”

Nana’s angry voice came from the other end of the line, almost deafening Corbin.

Corbin frowned and asked, “If you have something to say, say it. I have something urgent to do.”

“Something urgent? Is Maurice going to be engaged to Harriet, the daughter of the Stone family?”Nana shouted.

Corbin was startled. He glanced at Maurice behind him and quickly turned on the speaker.

“Nana, can you say it again? What do you mean Mr. Moran will be engaged to Harriet?”

“Don’t you know? The Internet is going crazy now. Many people are saying that the Stone family andthe Moran family will be united by marriage. Maurice and Harriet have been in love for a long time, andthey are getting married. Some photos have even spread online.”

Upon hearing this, Maurice immediately took out his phone. Sure enough, the news that he and Harrietwere in love was the number one trending topic.

He clicked on the news, and the first thing he saw was a photo of him leaving the press conferencewith the unconscious Harriet in his arms.
