Chapter 505
Maurice’s comfort didn’t make Eliana feel any better.
She knew in her heart that all this must have something to do with her.
After leaving his office, Eliana returned to the Design Department in a daze.
At this time, all the employees in the Design Department gathered around. They discussed the plan of going to the hospital to visit Harriet.
Lucia had already returned to the company too. As soon as she saw Eliana, she immediately ran to Eliana’s side.
She said worriedly, “Eliana, how are you? Are you alright? You scared me to death.”
Eliana shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Lucia still wanted to say something more, but some of their female colleagues came over to invite Eliana to go with them to the hospital.
“You go ahead. I won’t go.”
Eliana was not in the mood to see the culprit lying in the hospital.
But one female colleague complained, “Well, it’s not up to you to decide. Mr. Gerald Moran, the new CEO, has given an order that everyone in the Design Department must visit Miss Stone.”
Eliana was a little surprised to hear this. Did Gerald ask all of them to see Harriet?
It seemed that he would really make a great change in the Moran Group.
At the thought of this, Eliana’s anxiety gradually increased.
But she had no other choice. In the end, she still went to the hospital to visit Harriet together with her colleagues of the Design Department.
Harriet was lying weakly in the hospital bed in a VIP ward. Her face had lost its color, and she seemed seriously ill.
Although Eliana didn’t like a scheming woman like Harriet, she must admit that she admired Harriet’s boldness. To achieve her goal, Harriet could even hurt herself. If she was cruel to others, she was even more ruthless to herself.
All the employees of the Design Department gathered around Harriet’s bed to show their concern for their boss. Only Eliana stood a little farther away from them.
“Guys, thank you for visiting me today.”
Harriet’s voice revealed a sense of powerlessness.
One colleague immediately said fawningly, “Miss Stone, what are you talking about? Of course, we must visit you.”
“Yes, Miss Stone. We are all worried about you. How can you be so sick? I heard this is all because of Lilian. I really can’t believe it. She was so well-behaved and had no conflict with you. Why did she suddenly use such a vicious method to hurt you?” a curious female colleague couldn’t help but comment.
Lucia secretly sneered. Then she echoed, “Yes, Miss Stone. Lilian was close to you, right? Why would she hurt you?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The other colleagues also looked at Harriet curiously.
Harriet had already anticipated this question, and she was well prepared. She immediately put on a pitiful look as if she was really the victim and said sadly, “Maybe it’s because I was too strict with Lilian. But I was doing it for her own good. I didn’t expect that she would be dissatisfied with me and even hurt me in the end. It’s all my fault because I didn’t know her well first.”
As Harriet spoke, the rims of her eyes turned red as if she was about to cry. As expected, she aroused most people’s sympathy.
“Miss Stone, how can you blame yourself? It’s all Lilian’s fault. We also didn’t expect that she was that kind of person.”
“I have long thought that Lilian is not a good person. Now she has really proven me right. So she deserves the bad karma.”
Eliana just stood there and listened to Harriet inducing her colleagues to believe that Lilian was to be blamed for all the bad things that had happened. She almost vomited with disgust.
If it weren’t for the fear that this matter would aggravate and affect the Moran Group, she wouldn’t have let this go just like that. She would reveal Harriet’s true color with her own hands.
Soon, the visiting hours came to an end. When everyone said goodbye to Harriet, Eliana was the first to turn around, wanting to leave.
But Harriet suddenly stopped her.
“Miss Pierce, wait. I have something to talk to you alone.”
Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Eliana.
Lucia immediately stepped forward and said, “Miss Stone, since we’ve been here for a long while, you must be tired, right? You can talk to Eliana about it next time.”
“It’s okay, Lucia. Since Miss Stone doesn’t mind it, I’ll stay and have a talk with her,” Eliana said, giving Lucia a reassuring look.
Lucia was still a little worried, but she followed the others outside. However, she kept looking back while walking out of the ward.
At this moment, only Harriet and Eliana were left in the ward.
“Why are you so far away? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?” Harriet snorted coldly with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
The hair all over Eliana’s body prickled, and she immediately raised her guard.
She wondered what trick Harriet was trying to play this time.
“Miss Stone, I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”
“Actually, you don’t need to be so wary of me,” Harriet said and suddenly laughed.
“Oh really? But my past experience tells me that I can’t trust your words, Miss Stone.”
Eliana stood far away from Harriet from beginning to end.
She didn’t dare to underestimate Harriet’s scheming and ruthlessness. She was afraid that Harriet would trick her again if she was not careful enough.
Seeing Eliana’s vigilant look, Harriet smiled complacently. “Eliana, I’ve thought it through. I don’t want Maurice anymore. I’ll give him up to you.”
