Chapter 405
Maurice had always been a man of quick actions. Since he had promised Eliana that they were going back, he quickly got the car ready.
Just as they was about to leave, Eliana suddenly thought of something.
She looked at Maurice and asked seriously, “What about Aileen and Adrian? And Nana too?”
“I have already arranged everything. Nana will take care of the children while waiting for the driver to come pick them up,” Maurice replied.
However, Eliana shook her head almost immediately. “No way! What if something happens again? As their mother, I have to be with them.”
After saying that, Eliana opened the car door to get out. Of course, Maurice was rather unhappy with that.
“Why are you worried now? Didn’t you say that they were Nana’s kids? It seems like now you know all the weight you put on her shoulders!”
“Maurice, what are you talking about?”
Sure enough, Eliana was annoyed by what Maurice said.
Before Maurice could say anything else, Harriet caught up with them.
“Mr. Moran! Wait for me!”
Harriet walked briskly to Maurice’s car. However, before she could approach it, Maurice’s bodyguards stopped her.
“What the hell is your problem? I came here with Mr. Moran. How dare you stop me?” Harriet shouted at the bodyguards angrily.
“Sorry, Miss Stone, but we’re just following orders. Mr. Moran explicitly instructed us not to let anyone else near his car,” one of the guards said to Harriet, looking at her with an expressionless face.
Harriet was stunned. “No way! This banquet was to celebrate the new cooperation between the Stone and Moran families! How could he do such a thing to me?”
However, no matter how much Harriet complained and shouted, the bodyguards didn’t flinch, nor did they let her pass.
Maurice, who was sitting in the car, heard the noises outside and felt very irritable.
He looked at Corbin, who was sitting in the front seat, and said curtly, “Corbin, handle this.”
“Okay, sir.”
Before Corbin was ordered by Maurice, he had already imagined how this was going to end. Hearing his boss’ order, he couldn’t help but feel rather unlucky.
Why was it always up to him to clean up the boss’s mess?
Despite his inner complaints, Corbin got out of the car anyway to deal with the situation. He walked over to Harriet and said politely, “I’m sorry, Miss Stone. Mr. Moran said he has something urgent to deal with. He hopes you will enjoy your stay at the manor with your family.”
Of course, Harriet didn’t believe him at all. She glared at Corbin and hissed coldly, “Don’t take me for a fool! He asked me to stay here and took Eliana with him! Why?”
“Why? It’s simple. Eliana is a better person than you,” Corbin replied curtly, looking at Harriet with disdain.
“What? How it that possible?” Harriet commented arrogantly.
In her eyes, Eliana couldn’t even hold a candle to her.
Corbin looked Harriet up and down and sneered, “Let me remind you then, Miss Stone. Have you forgotten how you shoved a girl to the floor at the banquet earlier, causing a serious injury to her hand?”
Upon hearing Corbin’s accusations, Harriet’s face turned pale. “Nonsense! She fell herself!”
She still denied it.
“Miss Stone, it is useless to deny it. The cameras have caught what you have done. You could have gotten yourself into big trouble if it weren’t for Eliana. Do you still dare to say that Eliana is not as good as you?”
“I…” Harriet was at a loss of words.
“Besides, if what you did today were to spread, I’m afraid it would totally ruin your family’s reputation. I’m sure you don’t want that, do you? Now take my advice and watch your actions in the future.”
Having said that, Corbin turned and drove off with the bodyguards, leaving Harriet standing there, crestfallen and watching Maurice’s car slowly disappear from view.
