Chapter 245
Obviously, Gerald was the one who complained to Earle about him.
Maurice chose not to respond despite knowing this. novelbin
His granddad was clearly in a rage at this point. It didn’t matter what he said. Nothing could help the situation. It was possible Gerald could take advantage of the situation and cause problems.
The only thing he had to do at this point was wait for the elderly guy to express his rage. In such a case, there would be more area for maneuvering
Earle had lost his cool to a point that he slammed his cane into the floor.
He believed that Maurice accepted that he was envious of a male celebrity because of Eliana.
“How many foolish acts have you committed because of Eliana? This lady is promiscuous. Because the Moran Group purchased the Pierce Group, she must have contacted you intentionally. Avenging her cowardly and inept father is a top priority for her.”
Eliana attempted to flee while hiding behind the sofa, but after taking just two steps, she overheard Earle disparaging her father.
Eliana went into a complete frenzy when she heard it. As if she had a large stone pressing on her heart, she found herself unable to take a breath.
“Grandpa!” Forcibly interjecting and casting a peek towards the sofa’s back, Maurice cut Earle in. “That’s lame. The insolvency of the Pierce Group was shrouded in mystery.”
It seemed that Maurice was very smitten with the Pierce family’s daughter…
Earle was in a daze as he gazed at Maurice, thinking about Maurice’s father, the son he was both pleased and saddened with.
Was Maurice going to follow in his father’s footsteps? Earle’s fear grew as he pondered the situation.
“Take a good look at yourself. You resemble your father in every way. Have you ever considered the implications if you ignore my counsel and do as you please?”
Maurice’s Achilles’ heel was the passing of his parents. Instantaneously altering his expression, he exploded, “I will be different! I’m not my dad. I will defend the one I care about.”
“Kneel down, you disloyal grandchild!”
It just strengthened Earle’s conviction that Maurice had been seduced by desire through his defiance. He swung his cane at Maurice in a rush.
As the cane slammed against Maurice’s lower back, it made an audible noise.
He hit him repeatedly.
Maurice knelt down on the floor and did not say anything.
Agonizing to behold, even Corbin turned his head away.
Earle lifted his cane and prepared to strike Maurice another time. Suddenly, something out of the ordinary occurred.
The cane was suddenly stopped by a pair of thin hands.
“Stop!”
From behind the sofa, Eliana crawled up and seized Earle’s cane.
Suddenly appearing from nowhere, the woman caught Earle off guard.
“Who are you?”
Standing up and letting go of the cane, Eliana responded, “Hello, Mr. Moran. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Eliana Pierce is my given name. I’m sure you’ve heard about me from a variety of sources. That eliminates the need for me to make an introduction.”
Earle was enraged by the girl’s cool response.
“That’s excellent, Miss Pierce. Honestly, the daughter of a once-wealthy and influential family being so ill-bred just surprised me. Isn’t it common knowledge to avoid listening in on others’ conversations?”
“You missed something, Mr. Moran,” Eliana remarked bitterly. “I was just in this office, but I didn’t want to make you furious, so I hid and attempted to leave without you noticing. As for the Pierce family part, I just had to make an exception and change my plan.”
“Well, do you have anything to say?” Incredulously, Earle snarled at the snide explanation.
“I’d want you to rescind what you’ve just said. The man who raised me was not coward. Neither you nor anybody else has the right to criticize my father.”
Eliana’s eyes seemed to be on fire. Even in the face of the Moran family’s strong and stately master, she stood her ground.
When it came down to it, her family was her most important priority.
It was impossible for either Maurice or Corbin not to feel concerned about this courageous girl. There were no other people who could talk to Earle in this manner since Earle was known for being a man of his word.
“I’m glad to hear that! Good! Good girl!” Earle said. He seemed enraged, judging by his demeanor. “Guards, cast her out of here.”
His guards were on the verge of taking action.
“Grandpa!”
“Hold on!”
Maurice and Eliana talked simultaneously.
Eliana’s face was devoid of fear, notwithstanding Maurice’s serious expression. She exuded self- assurance.
“Two more minutes, please, Mr. Moran. Someone wants to converse with you.” Eliana smiled as she spoke.
She casually lifted her hand while holding the cellphone in the hand.
“Old guy, who will you cast out?”
Nancy was the one who appeared on the screen. In all candor, who would that be?!
