Chapter 403
“Damn it, Harriet! What the hell is wrong with you?” As he spoke, Maurice held Harriet’s wrist and pushed her away ruthlessly. “Get out of here and you’d better calm down. She is not your servant! And even if she were your servant, you still would have no right to treat her that way!”
“Maurice…”
Harriet held her aching wrist as she stared at Maurice in amazement, her eyes brimming with tears.
However, Maurice was not in the least moved by her tearful gaze. Looking a little crazy, he raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “Didn’t you hear me? I said get out!”
Harriet knew she had better control herself now. After throwing a last nasty look at Eliana, she turned and left awkwardly.
Far from reassuring Eliana, Harriet’s departure only made Eliana more nervous.
Now that Harriet was gone, Eliana was alone with Maurice, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Not knowing how to deal with Maurice, Eliana instinctively took a step back and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
“Where do you think you are going?”
Before she could take another step, Maurice had already grabbed her hand.
She quickly lowered her head to avoid Maurice’s gaze.
“Why are you still hiding? I already recognized you, Eliana,” Maurice said indifferently.
As soon as he saw her on stage earlier, he already suspected something, so he followed her here. When he saw her more closely, he recognized her immediately. It was indeed Eliana.
But since Harriet was there, he couldn’t say anything, or Harriet would make a scene.
“You recognized me? So why didn’t you say anything?”
Hearing that he had recognized her but had chosen to remain silent all this time, Eliana was furious and she lifted her veil.
“Well, I guessed you didn’t want Harriet to know it, so I didn’t say anything,” Maurice replied calmly.
At the mention of Harriet, the scene of the two of them kissing just now came to Eliana’s mind. She stared at Maurice’s handsome face, and felt a little disgusted.
“I didn’t want to interrupt you two,” Eliana hissed with unveiled jealousy.
Maurice was about to explain when he suddenly noticed the blood on Eliana’s hand.
“Why is there blood on your hand? Where did you get hurt?” Maurice asked worriedly.
However, Eliana looked surprised when she heard what Maurice said. Blood?
She looked at her hand and found that there was indeed blood on it.
It must be Jennifer’s blood.
However, she had no intention to explain and just said curtly, “It’s none of your business.”
The thing was, she was still angry with Maurice. She quickly withdrew her hand from his grasp and wouldn’t explain anything.
Maurice frowned and the next second, he outright picked her up in his arms.
“Ah!”
Eliana didn’t expect this and couldn’t help but scream. However, she subconsciously put her arms around Maurice’s neck.
“Maurice, what do you want to do? Put me down!”
Eliana began to struggle and punch hard on Maurice’s chest for him to put her down.
“Stay still, will you?” Maurice said coldly, staring at her intently. He added, “You are injured. I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
Eliana was shocked. She couldn’t let him carry her out like this. It would definitely cause a sensation!
“No way!” Eliana shouted and struggled even more. “I’m fine!”
“You are fine? Then why is there blood on your hand?”
Maurice was unfazed and continued to walk with her in his arms.
Seeing that he had no intention of putting her down and that they would soon reach the exit, Eliana had to tell him the truth.
“It’s not my blood. The original harpist’s hand was injured. I guess I got stained with her blood when I was helping her treat her wound. I was just performing on stage for her.”
A smile appeared on Maurice’s face and he finally stopped.
“You are finally willing to tell the truth!”
It turned out… He was just playing a trick on her!
She was fooled by Maurice again!
However, she didn’t even have the strength to snap at him this time. She just leaned against his shoulder.
With all the recent events, Eliana was exhausted and didn’t want to stay here anymore. She wanted to go home.
She was just on a business trip here, but why were there so many troubles?
Now that Eliana had told him the whole story, Maurice smiled and said, “You really are a kind-hearted person who loves helping others. But why didn’t you help me stop Harriet from kissing me just now? Don’t you care whom I kiss at all?”
Eliana’s eyes were fixed on Maurice’s sexy lips, and the scene that Harriet kissed him suddenly appeared in her mind again.
At the thought that some other woman had tasted his lips just now, Eliana felt sick.
Jealousy began to surge in the bottom of her heart. Eliana suddenly reached out to wipe Maurice’s lips…
