Chapter 664
Gerald’s eyes remained fixed on Aleck even as Eliana and Nancy left to prepare lunch.
He grabbed Aleck and dragged him to the bathroom door when there were not a lot of eyes around, trying to intimidate him into confessing.
But unknowing to him, Maurice had seen him take Aleck away.
Maurice followed them as soon as he saw.
Now, he stood before Gerald. His voice low and cold, as he said, “Let him go, Gerald.”
“So it was you! You were the one who changed the information in Eliana’s file.” Pure hatred was plastered all over Gerald’s face.
“And so what?” Maurice didn’t feel an ounce of guilt.
“I will tell your grandfather Eliana’s mother was a White. He would be so furious. Just wait and see.”
Gerald’s smile was vicious as though he was already watching Earle get angry and force Maurice to break up with Eliana.
Maurice eyed Gerald coldly, as if he was a joke.
“It doesn’t matter. I would still marry Eliana even though she is related to the White family. No one would be able to stop me. I would make Grandpa get to know her more and accept her as one of the family after the marriage if he still disagrees with it.”
Gerald’s rage spiraled at Maurice’s confidence.
Gerald so desperately wanted to ruin Maurice’s plan.
He turned to Aleck. “You heard that, Aleck? Eliana is related to the White family. You said you always would be loyal to my father, didn’t you? I command you to go tell my father the truth right this moment!”
Aleck went quiet at this moment. Eliana’s background shocked him. Maurice’s determination as well, was a shock to him.
Aleck was aware that telling Earle the truth would cause Maurice and Earle to be at odds, and neither would benefit from that. The Moran family would fall apart in the end again.
For half his life, Aleck had served the Moran family. Earle was the one person he respected the most and was deserving of his utmost loyalty. For Earle and the Moran family to not suffer any more harm, he had to remain silent for the time being.
Gerald got even more aggravated by Aleck’s attitude. He bellowed in anger, “You’re betraying my father, Aleck! You have to go with me to see him!”
With no hesitation, he dragged Aleck forward.
Maurice of course, could not let Gerald succeed.
He stepped forward, yanked Gerald by the collar, and pushed him back with force.
Gerald ended up hitting the bathroom door.
Eliana heard the whole exchange from the bathroom. It was at that moment she realized Earle had not put the past aside. He simply wasn’t aware she was related to the White family because Maurice had tampered with her personal details.
Just as she was about to step out, a loud noise sounded from the door. She pulled her hand away from the doorknob in fear.
Eliana’s feelings were all jumbled up as she stood behind the door. Clearly, it was not a good time to head out. The best choice for her was to go on hiding. novelbin
It was the Moran family’s business after all. Continuing to eavesdrop would be wrong on her part.
Just as she was pondering on whether or not to remain in the bathroom, the men began talking again.
“You can’t stop me, Maurice. I can tell your grandfather everything without Aleck!” Gerald yelled hysterically.
However, Maurice’s voice was calm and dripping with ridicule. “Gerald, stop fighting so hard. For many years, Aleck has worked for Grandpa for years. He has spent more time with Grandpa than he has with his own family. And I’m here as well. Who do you think has more likely earned Grandpa’s trust?”
Eliana could feel the rage from Gerald, even through the door.
“Stop being so arrogant, Maurice! You can act however to get married to Eliana, but what of Eliana though? You think she would still choose to marry you after she discovers the truth about everything?”
Eliana was at a loss after hearing this. What was Gerald saying? Was there something she wasn’t aware of?
Gerald paused for a second, and then he went on, “What if she finds out I was the one who destroyed her family? What if she discovers you had clear knowledge of the truth and just didn’t tell her? What do you think her reaction would be, my dear nephew?”
