Chapter 474
Eliana and Lucia waited at the door of Harriet’s office, refusing to leave.
Harriet’s assistant also stood there, watching them the whole time. When she saw that the two of them were so determined, she began to speak in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
“I don’t know why some people still have the nerve to stand here. Really shameless!”
Although she didn’t name names, Eliana and Lucia knew that she was referring to them.
But Lucia was in a bad mood, so she snapped, “Who are you referring to?”
The assistant’s words made her even more furious.
The assistant sneered coldly, “You know who I am referring to.”
“And what are you trying to say? If you have something to say, say it. I’m listening.”
Eliana didn’t want to cause any trouble. But she wouldn’t shrink back when she was being bullied.
“Okay, Miss Pierce, I’ll be frank with you then. Do you know what Miss Stone and Mr. Moran are talking about inside right now?” said the assistant.
“What?” Eliana asked in confusion.
“She and Mr. Moran are talking about the development of the land near the Moon Lake Manor. At the party in the manor last time, you embarrassed and offended Mr. Stone. The Stone family is not very happy with this cooperation now. And it has taken Miss Stone a lot of effort to talk to them and convince them to continue it. Now you want to mess it up again? I think you only want to ruin the cooperation between the two companies.”
Eliana almost could not digest so much information that she learned all at once.
She had vaguely heard someone from the company mention that the Stone and Moran Groups cooperated to develop the land.
Coincidentally, she also knew something about the inside story of that land.
Before the Pierce family went bankrupt, the Pierce Group had several factories built on that land.
Her family valued that land so much that they had considered cooperating with others to develop it and build a theme park.
But unfortunately, the government didn’t approve it because of the ancient buildings near the area.
And even if they were approved, the cost of development and construction would be very high because they needed to protect those ancient buildings. The Pierce family could not afford it, so her father had to give up in the end.
Eliana didn’t expect that even a wealthy family like the Moran family still had to cooperate with the Stone family to develop the land.
Inside Harriet’s office, she and Maurice were discussing the press conference that their families would hold in the afternoon.
“Mr. Moran, today is the big day for our families. And my uncle will be here later. But he and Eliana had some conflicts before. So if you mind, I can persuade him not to come.”
Harriet pretended to mention that incident casually.
“Do you think it’s necessary?”
Maurice sat on the sofa, carefully reading the documents for his speech. He didn’t even raise his head when he spoke.
It seemed that Eliana really didn’t matter much to him.
Harriet smiled happily. “I knew you won’t mind.”
This time, Maurice raised his head expressionlessly. “I mean, the cooperation between the Stone family and Moran family has been settled. Is it necessary for your uncle to come?”
Harriet’s expression became still. She forced a smile and said, “This is the first cooperation between our families, and the media will be there. To show that the Stone family attaches great importance to this, he will be here, of course.”
“Oh, really?”
Maurice stared at Harriet. A bad feeling rose in his heart.
Why was she so enthusiastic about inviting her uncle to the press conference? There must be something behind it.
Soon, Maurice found the answer.
Corbin, standing next to him, suddenly received a message.
After Corbin read it, the look on his face drastically changed.
He immediately bent over and whispered in Maurice’s ear, “Boss, I just got the news. Your grandfather is on his way for the press conference.”
His grandfather was coming too?
Maurice didn’t think this was good.
Then something flashed in his mind. And he understood it all at once.
In recent years, Earle had never intervened in the management of Moran Group unless it was something big. It was just a press conference for the development of a theme park. Did Earle really have to be there personally?
But since he was coming, there must be another reason. It was probably not because of the cooperation between the Stone family and the Moran family.
Earle might have another purpose.
Maurice carefully recalled what Harriet had said.
This was just a small press conference, but the elders of both families would be there.
There must be a plot here.
