Chapter 541

Eliana’s eyes brightened as she heard Brevard’s suggestion. She had been distressed about thethought of going alone. If she brought many factory workers with her though, she would have thecourage to fight the Stone family.

“Alright, Mr. Wallace, call some strong guys, and we’ll go over there together.”

They then hurried to the Imperial Golden Club. As they got there, a lot of customers were stunned andassumed they’d come to cause trouble.

Eliana felt a bit of guilt creep up on her as she stood at the door. Mostly due to her fear of meetingMaurice here. However, Jennifer was facing an emergency at that moment, and she had no time tooverthink. She covered up her face and stepped in. Unfortunately, it was futile. The staff had spottedher already and instantly sent word to Maurice.

Maurice at that moment had been holding a meeting in the Moran Group. Surprisingly, in the middle ofthe meeting, he was informed that Eliana returned to the Imperial Golden Club. How did she have theguts to return? Didn’t she run from him? She should have been avoiding him since she was runningfrom him. Why did she keep appearing in his place?

Rubbing his aching temples, Maurice said coldly, “I don’t want to hear anything about this woman fromnow on.”

The staff trembled at the other end of the phone and wanted to subconsciously shut up, but he recalledwhat Corbin had told him before. He could only grit his teeth and continue, “Sir, Mr. Stone is presenthere as well, and I guess Miss Pierce came here because of him. She has messed with Mr. Stone…”

Maurice impatiently cut him short. “I said I don’t want to hear anything about her!” He was so full ofrage that he stood up from his seat and stormed off toward the door.

Harriet was coincidentally also present today. She had put her hand in the fight between Gerald andMaurice last time and taken Gerald’s side. She had been wondering how to make up with Maurice afterhe regained control over the Moran Group.

As she saw Maurice leave the meeting all of a sudden after he received a phone call, Harriet hurriedlygot up and trailed after him to ask. “Mr. Moran, hold on. What’s the matter? Did something happen?”

Maurice stopped all of a sudden. Harriet was startled by his sudden stop, and simultaneously, aglimmer of hope rose in her heart. It appeared he didn’t hate her for what she had done to Eliana.Perhaps she still had a chance…

Maurice turned around and stared at Harriet with an expressionless look on his face. “How has youruncle been faring these days, Miss Stone?”

The staff trembled at the other end of the phone and wanted to subconsciously shut up, but he recalledwhat Corbin had told him before. He could only grit his teeth and continue, “Sir, Mr. Stone is presenthere as well, and I guess Miss Pierce came here because of him. She has messed with Mr. Stone…”

Harriet instantly responded, “Mr. Moran, you have no need to worry. After that incident, my uncle hasbeen doing a lot of thinking at home and hasn’t stepped out.”

She kept lying. Maurice would have been deceived by the sincere look on her face as she said this, ifhe hadn’t seen Kelvin in the club last night.

“Since your uncle has been thinking a lot at home, you should return to keep him company. Go home,you don’t have to come to work from now on.”

He was firing Harriet? Immediately after he finished speaking, the meeting room was in an uproar.Some delighted in Harriet’s misfortune, some pitied her, and the remaining were scared they would be

implicated…

Harriet was shocked to hear this. When she came back to senses, her face had become ghastly pale.Maurice disgraced her in front of so many people. The discussion of the crowd and their prying eyeswere like a knife stabbing into her heart. She wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.

In the Imperial Golden Club, Eliana had finally found Jennifer. Things didn’t look good, however.Jennifer was being pressed to the floor by Kelvin’s people.
