Chapter 48

Get Her Back To Work

When Eliana returned home, Kimora almost drowned her with her nagging words.It took a long time to
calm Kimora down, and she had to promise her that she would inform her beforehand if she was going
to stay out again.

After that, Eliana ran to her room.She threw her buzzing phone on the bed.

By the time it stopped buzzing, she saw that there were nineteen missed calls.

She glanced at the screen before she began to clean the room.

‘What a b*****d that Preston is!’ She had trusted him so much, but he had casually left her to be with
Maurice.

She was unwilling to talk to him anymore because of that.She reminded herself that men were all
unreliable.

At the same time, in the Moran Group’s conference room, the senior executives reported their working
progress, trembling with fear.



However, Maurice, who was usually cold and strict, was behaving differently.

After quickly pointing out all the problems, he ended the conference.

The conference only lasted for an hour, whereas it usually took half a day.

Everyone looked at Maurice, who left in a hurry, as they wondered what was making him so anxious all
of a sudden.




After walking out of the conference room, he turned on his phone, but he did not see any replies from
Eliana.

Corbin followed him to the CEO’s office.

Seeing him looking a little dejected, Corbin asked curiously, "Mr.Moran, is something wrong?"

"Why doesn’t Eliana respond to me anymore?"

Maurice couldn’t understand what happened.

They had been on good terms just last night, so why wasn’t she answering his calls now? Corbin was
speechless when he heard those words.He thought that Maurice seemed to be down because of some
issues with the conference.

Now, he felt like he overthought about it.

The moment he looked up again, he met Maurice’s cold gaze, so he smiled sheepishly and said,
"Well… She probably still has a problem with that night when you two…"

He paused mid-sentence and put on a mischievous grin on his face.

Maurice’s expression darkened.

"I meant to say that she doesn’t respond to Preston anymore."

Corbin suddenly remembered that his boss had two identities.

It would make sense if Eliana just did not come to work in the Moran Group, but she was also not
responding to Preston now.It was not surprising that Maurice was depressed.



An idea popped into Corbin’s mind and he suggested, "How about you ask Mr.Todd? I found that she
was being really nice to him, so he might know something…"

"Shut up!"

Maurice’s cold voice made Corbin shiver.

"Why haven’t you found any clues about the ring?".

Corbin answered hastily, "I’ve checked everyone in the kindergarten, and I could not find anything
unusual there.Mr.Gorman seldom talks to the other children, except the twins you met in the cake
shop."

Thinking of the lovely twins, Maurice asked, "What’s their background?"

"According to their documents, there is no information on their mother, but their father is Jonathan
Bowman, the CEO of the Universe Group.And a nanny is the one taking them to and from school every
day," Corbin replied honestly.

"Is Jonathan married?"

"No."

Maurice raised his eyebrows and pondered Were the twins Jonathan’s illegitimate children, then? If
that was true, then he would have to think seriously before he did anything to the twins.
