Chapter 640
Earle didn’t know the whole truth of the situation, so he tried to hit Maurice on the back with his cane.
“Have you gone mad, Maurice? Let him go!”
Maurice groaned in pain. With Earle around, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to interrogate Jonathan anymore. Thus, he relented and released Jonathan.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Bowman,” Earle solemnly said to Jonathan.
Jonathan straightened up his disheveled clothes and said, “It’s alright. I’m well-aware of your grandson’s explosive temper. I may be able to let it slide, but we still haven’t dealt with how your grandson took my girlfriend away.”
His girlfriend? Maurice stole Jonathan’s girlfriend?
Though he expected that there was enmity between them, he never imagined that Maurice would actually steal Jonathan’s girlfriend.
Suddenly, a question dawned on Earle.
Out of curiosity, he asked, “Who are you referring to? Is it Eliana Pierce?”
“That’s right,” Jonathan replied plainly. “Not only did he steal my girlfriend, but also our kids.”
Earle was rendered speechless.
He had no idea that Eliana had children.
Thereafter, Jonathan took out his phone and showed a picture of himself, Eliana, and the twins.
“Have a look at this, Mr. Moran. This is evidence to prove that I’m telling the truth.”
Upon seeing the picture, Earle was left with even more questions in mind.
“Are those… Aileen and Adrian? How could they be Eliana’s kids?”
In that moment, all the details Earle once ignored flashed through his mind.
The twins did mention their mother many times, but he had never seen their father. Aside from that, Maurice had an odd behavior toward the twins.
All of these factors made Earle piece the truth together. The twins were indeed Eliana and Jonathan’s children!
With that in mind, Earle put on a stern expression and looked at Maurice.
“Those twins are close to Silas, aren’t they? They go to the same school. Didn’t you know about this?”
Maurice knew something bad was going to happen the moment Jonathan took out that photo.
It didn’t occur to him that Jonathan would speak to his grandfather and twist the facts just so he could take Eliana away from him.
Maurice tried to think of a way to explain his side, but his brief silence made Earle think that it was evidence of his deception.
It turned out that Maurice knew all of this from the very beginning, but he kept it a secret all this time.
“Well, well, well…” Earle was clearly infuriated. He pointed at Maurice, his chest heaving up and down, and his veins looked like they were about to pop as he struggled to hold onto the cane.
Worried that Earle might get a heart attack or a stroke from anger, Aleck immediately tried to intervene. “Mr. Moran, calm down, sir! Take it easy. I think we should hear Mr. Maurice Moran out first.”
“What else can he even say about this? He stole someone else’s girlfriend and their children! That’s beyond absurd!”
Earle slammed his cane onto the floor.
Jonathan took this opportunity to fan the flames. “Mr. Moran, I believe that you’re a righteous man. I’m sure that you and your family won’t take my children, won’t you?”
Maurice became overwhelmed with anger, wanting to kill Jonathan.
In his opinion, Jonathan must be courting death!
Jonathan had repeatedly reminded him that the twins were another man’s children. But now, he was suddenly claiming that the kids were his.
It seemed that he really would stop at nothing just to get Eliana.
Maurice believed that there were many flaws in Jonathan’s claims. However, Earle believed otherwise.
“You bastard! Sever all of your ties with Eliana, return her to Jonathan, and give them back their kids…”
Earle could barely finish his sentence. He really didn’t want to let those kids go, because he was fond of them and he once wanted to adopt them.
Upon seeing that Earle was adamant in his decision, Maurice knew that no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to solve this matter today unless he told Earle the truth.
He planned to find a better opportunity to tell Earle the truth about the twins, but he didn’t anticipate that Jonathan would use it to his advantage.
Because the situation had spiraled out of his control, Maurice couldn’t wait for a better timing anymore.
“I refuse. I will not let this man take Eliana and the kids away!”
