Chapter 56 You’d Better Not Tie Your Hair

Eliana replied lightly, "You’ve gotten better at changing faces."

Unfazed, Evelynn smiled carelessly and looked down to inspect her manicure.It was obvious that shedidn’t take Eliana seriously.

"In Maurice’s eyes, you are nothing but a toy.You might’ve slept with him, but he’ll always come back tome.What he wants is a woman from the same social rank."

Upon hearing this, Eliana’s heart sank to her stomach.She recalled how Maurice and Evelynn sat sideby side, intimately interacting with each other.

As this scene replayed in her mind, she couldn’t help but get upset.

Eliana turned to look at Evelynn.Her branded clothing and luxury accessories made her lookincomparably expensive, as though she inhaled and exhaled money.

Eliana was standing in front of her, dressed in a simple office uniform.

The juxtaposition was clear.

They came from two very different worlds.

Noticing the look in Eliana’s eyes, Evelynn sneered smugly.But to her surprise, Eliana started tochuckle.

"Miss Jarvis, it seems you’ve been thinking about me sleeping with Mr.Moran.Could it be-are youjealous?"

Evelynn’s expression changed instantly.

"Even though our engagement was called off this time, we’ll eventually get married.Why should I bejealous of my fiance’s playthings?"

"You’d better wait until you marry into the Moran family before you talk like that," Eliana said calmly.

"Why, you—!"

Furious, Evelynn narrowed her eyes at Eliana.

Just then, Eliana’s fake smile disappeared and was replaced with a sharp, cold look.

In a low voice, she said slowly, "Allow me to give you some advice, Miss Jarvis.You’d better not tie yourhair the next time you see Mr.Moran.He likes s*x when the woman’s long hair is draped over hershoulders…"

Her voice trailed off.

Eliana’s taunt clearly got to her.

Evelynn’s eyes went as wide as saucers and her red lips parted to shriek, "E… li…a… na!"

"Ding—!"

The elevator doors slid open and Evelynn’s shrill voice came out.Some employees who were waitingfor the elevator all looked at her in shock.

"You’ve reached the ground floor.Take care, Miss Jarvis."

Eliana waved goodbye to her, smiling sweetly.

Glancing at all the shocked faces looking at her, Evelynn gritted her teeth angrily.

But she suppressed her rage for now, knowing that she should be a gracious hostess of the MoranGroup.So she held her chin up high and left in a huff.

Eliana heaved a sigh of relief.

At least she was able to vent her anger.She made her way back to her desk and sat down, all the whilein a daze.

Bradly, who happened to walk past her, stopped in his tracks and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong,Eliana?"

"Bradly…"

Eliana felt the urge to weep but found that she had no tears left to cry.

Bradly reached out and patted her head gently.

"You know you can talk to me, right?"

Eliana had never mentioned to him the previous interaction among her, Maurice, and Evelynn.She onlytalked to Bradly about the details of the project.

"Where can I replace an Argyle pink diamond that is no longer in production?"

Eliana buried her face in her hands, at a loss as to what to do.

Bradly frowned, deep in thought.

After a while, he said, "Don’t be scared.Although Argyle pink diamonds aren’t on the market anymore,I’m sure there’s someone out there, who has collected a few.I have some connections.I’ll help youinquire around it."

Surprised, Eliana raised her head to look at him gratefully.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the company, Corbin strode into the CEO’s office and handed adocument to Maurice.

"Mr.Moran, please take a look at this," he said seriously.

"Previously, the capital chain of the Harrison Group was broken, so they resorted to usury.But in theend, the Harrison Group couldn’t afford to pay off their debts.Their head came to us a few days agoand offered to sell us a batch of Argyle pink diamonds at an exorbitant price, but was refused by theProject Department."

As he listened, Maurice lowered his head and leafed through the document Despite the warmth of thesunlight, Maurice’s fair face looked inexplicably cold.It was as though he was born into a world wherepeople couldn’t tear their eyes away from him.

After quite a while, he put down the document.

"Set an appointment with the head of the Harrison Group."

"Alright."

After a moment of hesitation, Corbin asked in a low voice, "Should I tell Eliana about this matter?"

Maurice chuckled in a deep, masculine way.

"No.She will come to beg me for it sooner or later."

Corbin smiled wryly, although a shiver ran down his spine, Maurice was definitely someone youcouldn’t mess with.
