Chapter 577
“Grandpa, why did Eliana suddenly leave? Did you do something to her?”
Although Maurice already had an answer in his heart, he still asked this question.
Earle didn’t admit or deny it. But with a sullen face, he threatened, “It seems that you still haven’t learned your lesson last time. Isn’t it enough to experience losing the power in your hands? I can actually give everything to Gerald. Are you really forcing me to do it?”
Because of Earle’s words, Maurice was also provoked. “If you want to do it, give it a try. I actually don’t mind. Don’t forget that the power my uncle has been dreaming of is still in my hands.”
As Maurice spoke, he defiantly touched the ring on his right hand.
This ruby ring was lost but was found again. It represented the supreme power of the Mason family. And this was also giving him the confidence to fight back against Earle. Because even if he lost the Moran Group, he had other choices.
What Maurice said had completely angered Earle. The Mason family was his Achilles heel. And over the years, no one had dared to mention it.
Back then, Earle’s son Blair fell in love with Brenda, the daughter of the Mason family. But he opposed the relationship between the two and disagreed with their marriage. However, who would have thought Blair would be so stubborn? The more he hindered their relationship, the more determined Blair was. One day, Blair and Brenda eloped despite the formidable obstacles and later gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Then a tragedy happened later. Blair and Brenda were both killed in a car accident. This disaster was a heavy blow to the Moran family. The situation was so serious to the point that the members of the Moran family almost broke up.
And now, Maurice wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and repeat the same mistake. How could Earle not get angry?
“Damn you! You’re such an asshole!”
Earle was so angry that he trembled all over, and blue veins stood out on the back of his hand holding the cane. It was as if he was going to smash it towards Maurice the next second.
Listening to their exchange of hurtful words, Nancy knew she could not stop them.
The atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson was too tense for her to intervene.
Just as the battle was about to break out, Silas ran downstairs with his drawing board on his back. He sandwiched himself between Maurice and Earle, looked at each of them, and asked, “Great-grandpa, Uncle, are you free now? Can you help me with my homework?”
Since the little boy was between them, Earle and Maurice subconsciously restrained themselves.
Then Earle said gently, “Silas, go play in your room first. Your uncle and I have something to talk about.”
But actually, Silas didn’t just come here to ask the two men to help him with his homework. He looked up and winked at Nancy beside him.
Nancy immediately understood what he meant. So she also cooperated with him.
“Silas, what homework is that? Is it very important?”
Silas deliberately emphasized, “Of course! Our teacher told us that we must finish it. We have to submit it on Monday. If I’m the only one who failed to do it, what would I do?”
“If they don’t want to help you, then let me do it. What’s your homework today?” Nancy continued to act with Silas in front of Maurice and Earle.
“Great-grandma, it’s about family,” Silas replied, deliberately raising his voice. “I want to draw Uncle and Great-grandpa. But…”
He didn’t finish his words. Instead, he lowered his head in disappointment.
“You two, why don’t you help Silas finish his homework? Look at how sad he is now.”
In the end, Earle and Maurice compromised. They posed according to Silas’ instructions. It seemed that Silas and Nancy’s efforts were not in vain.
In the process, the two people who were not on good terms suddenly had to be close and intimate with each other. Obviously, both of them felt awkward.
Silas looked at Earle’s and Maurice’s poses with satisfaction and started to draw. Nancy stood beside him, supervising the poses of the two big men.
As time went on, Earle’s and Maurice’s anger gradually subsided.
When Earle looked at Maurice, he was reminded of Blair.
They were both stubborn and intelligent. Did this mean Maurice would also be like Blair in the future? Would Maurice leave his family because of a woman?
