“You don’t want him anymore?” Eliana asked with a frown, wondering what was wrong with Harriet again.
“Because he is no longer valuable to me. Earle won’t hand over Moran Group to him. Without the position as the heir of Moran Group, he will lose everything. So I don’t want him anymore.”
Harriet’s tone was full of sarcasm.
“That’s impossible!” Eliana blurted out.
“It seems that you really don’t know anything,” Harriet said. Her face turned red with excitement. “It’s all because of you, Eliana. He has lost everything and become a loser because he is protecting you. Now that you have him as you wish, are you satisfied?”
Eliana couldn’t believe her ears. “What did you say? It’s all because of me?”
Harriet’s words were like a knife that pierced through her heart.
She couldn’t help thinking of what she saw and heard in the company today and Maurice’s decadent look. And she had twigged everything in an instant.
At this moment, Eliana felt a chill all over her body. It turned out that she was the one who made Maurice suffer. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
A surge of guilt overwhelmed her at once.
If it weren’t for her, Maurice wouldn’t lose his position as the CEO of the Moran Group. He had worked hard for his career for more than ten years. She couldn’t imagine how sad he would be now.
But why didn’t he tell her anything?
Was it because he was afraid she would feel guilty?
Eliana felt heartbroken at the thought of this.
It turned out that Maurice had been protecting her all the time, and he had borne everything secretly.
Even though he was going through some difficulties, he still comforted her that he was looking forward to their date.
Sure enough, Harriet was right. She was just a burden.
Eliana clenched her fists tightly. Her expression gradually changed from sadness to firmness.
She didn’t want to be a burden to him anymore. Without her, everything would go back to its original place. He would continue as the superior and vigorous CEO of Moran Group.
After all, she had gotten the inheritance left by her parents. With the twenty million dollars, she could take good care of herself and her children without difficulties.
Eliana thought it through. Eventually, she made up her mind.
She glanced at the angry Harriet one last time, turned around, and left the ward without saying a word.
When they returned to the company, Eliana directly went to Lucia absentmindedly.
As soon as Lucia saw Eliana’s pale face, she asked anxiously, “Eliana, why do you look so terrible? Did that woman bully you again? You wait here. I’ll go to her now.”
Lucia was so angry that she wanted to go out and find Harriet to scold her.
But Eliana immediately grabbed her hand and said, “I’m fine, Lucia.”
Obviously, Lucia didn’t believe Eliana’s words. She said with righteous indignation, “Look at you. Does it look like you’re alright?”
Eliana shook her head and said solemnly, “Lucia, I’m here because I have something to ask for your help.”
Lucia patted her chest and assured her, “I will help you as long as I can.”
“I need Earle’s phone number.”
“It’s… Wait! What? Earle’s phone number?” Lucia’s eyes widened, and a trace of guilt flashed through her eyes. “Eliana, are you kidding me? How can a mere intern like me have access to the phone number of the chairman of the company?”
Her voice became lower and lower. She was so guilty that she didn’t dare to look into Eliana’s eyes.
Eliana raised her head and stared at Lucia, making Lucia’s blood freeze. Then she said, “Last time, I saw you and Earle chatting. If you are just an ordinary employee, will he talk to you for so long? Lucia, don’t hide it from me anymore. Do you and Earle know each other personally?”
Lucia knew that she couldn’t lie to Eliana forever. She hesitated and said, “Well… I think I can consider him an acquaintance.”
“Judging from your attitude towards Nicole and Earle, Maurice’s attitude towards you, and the fact that you were able to get out of Gerald’s house unharmed…”
Eliana smiled bitterly and continued, “Actually, with these details, I should have guessed it long ago. You should be from a family who is a friend of the Moran family. Wait! Your last name is Todd, right? Lucia, are you related to Wyatt?”
