Chapter 711 An Ominous Premonition
While Eliana was being drugged and taken away, Maurice raised his head thoughtfully in the room.He thought he heard Eliana’s voice a moment ago.
Maurice looked up at the door, but he was sure he hadn't heard a knock.
Did he hear something that never happened? Maurice started to feel a little uneasy.
A lawyer was sitting next to him, holding the contract that Earle had thrown to Maurice.
As he read it through, the lawyer's face became gloomier and gloomier.He closed the contract and whispered to Maurice, "Mr.Moran, the terms in this document are very disadvantageous to you.You can't sign it..."
Opposite them, Gerald was patiently taking care of Earle, looking like a dutiful son.
Seeing that Maurice hadn't decided for a long time, he looked at his nephew and urged him impatiently, "Maurice, have you finished reading it? Sign it quickly.I have to take your grandpa to the hospital for an examination."
Maurice glanced at him and said abruptly, "I have a doctor here.He can exam Grandpa's body."
A trace of nervousness flashed through Gerald's eyes.
He dismissed the offer and said, "No, thanks.I'm his rightful guardian.I'll take care of him.Besides, I will officially take over the Moran Group tomorrow.Get out of here as soon as you sign that a document."
As Gerald spoke, he looked as if he was going to push Earle away.
Maurice looked at Earle, who had remained silent all this time and hadn't looked up or shown his face at all.He motioned to his men behind him.
They immediately understood and intervened to stop Gerald and Earle.
Realizing that his planned escape route was blocked, Gerald began to panic.
Damn it! He had been buying time for Harriet.
Why hadn't she taken any action yet? As Maurice's men were about to take Earle away forcefully, Maurice's phone suddenly rang.
It was Nicole.
Maurice frowned, feeling extremely troubled.He answered the phone and heard Nicole's anxious voice at the other end.
"Something is wrong, Maurice.Eliana has gone!"
Shocked, Maurice replied, "What did you say?"
In a panic, Nicole explained, "Eliana insisted on going out to look for you just now, but it has been so long, and she hasn't returned!"
Something must have happened to her! Maurice stood up instantly, horrified and angry.
Suddenly, something occurred to him.He turned to look at Gerald with face like thunder.
"Did you do this?"
Gerald was relieved as Maurice asked him the question.
Judging from the expression on Maurice's face, he knew that Harriet had probably made it.He smiled nonchalantly and shrugged his shoulders.
"What's wrong, Maurice? It seems that your wife is playing hide and seek with you again.Take all the time you need to search for her, but 1 won't come with you."
With Earle by his side, no one dared stop him.
As Eliana had disappeared, Maurice wasn't in the mood to deal with Gerald at all.
Maurice rushed back straight away and hurried to the monitoring room of the castle to check the surveillance video at his door.
He had a nagging feeling that he hadn't misheard Eliana's voice a bit earlier.
Unfortunately, the surveillance camera was blocked by colorful balloons floating in the air just at that moment.
The wedding venue was decorated with several balloons, and some of them blocked the surveillance camera for a while.
No one paid any attention to it, which enabled someone to use them to their advantage.
"Find the surveillance video at the gate now.Hurry up!"
Maurice quickly changed his plan without panicking. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Soon, the staff retrieved the surveillance video of the castle gate and pulled it up on the screen.
There was no sign of Eliana in the surveillance video from the time of her return until the time they checked the video.
This was good news as it meant that even if she had been caught, her captor hadn't had enough time to take her out of the castle.
Eliana must still be somewhere in the castle! Maurice silently breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and barked orders at his men, "Blockade all the exits to the venue right away, search one room after another! Do whatever it takes to find her!"
After organizing everything, Maurice rushed to the children's room.
The three children were waiting anxiously for any news of Eliana.
It was a mess outside, and Eliana had been gone for a long time and still wasn't back.
The children didn’t know what had happened and were extremely upset.
Seeing Maurice enter the room, the three children immediately surrounded him.
"Daddy, where is Mommy?" Aileen asked.
"Daddy, Mommy went to find you.Didn't you see her?" Adrian asked.
"Uncle, why hasn't my aunt returned yet?"
Maurice hurriedly squatted down and held the three children firmly in his arms.
"It's all right.She will be back soon.Don't be afraid..."
Little by little, Maurice's deep, soothing voice comforted the children.
Only Maurice knew how unsettled he really was inside.
In the past, Eliana had gone missing but always came back.But today he had a very bad feeling.
This time seemed different to before...
