Chapter 148

Maurice was so stunned that his mind went blank for a moment.

Sad?

“Silas, how could I not be sad?” Pain shone in Maurice’s eyes. “Your mother was my only sister,” he
said slowly. “When I lost her, it felt like my world was collapsing. But I still have you, Rosina’s only child.
I have sworn to protect you as well as I can. Do you understand?”

Memories filled Maurice’s mind, accompanied by a sharp pain in his heart and a sadness so strong he
felt like he couldn’t breathe.

Before their parents died, they told them to support each other and told Maurice to protect his sister,
but…

He had lost Rosina forever…

To others, Maurice seemed crazy after Rosina’s death. All he could do was distract himself with
endless work.

If he hadn’t have Silas to look after, he didn’t know if he could have held on.

Silas watched Maurice silently. Though they lived together, they had never talked with each other so
candidly before.

Silas used to think that Maurice was responsible for his parents’ death. If they hadn’t taken Maurice’s
car, they would have still been alive. When Maurice immersed himself in his work, Silas thought that
meant he wasn’t sad about their death. Now, for the first time, he understood the grief Maurice was
feeling.

Eliana had been right. His uncle was as grief-stricken as he was.



“D-don’t be too upset. Miss Pierce told me that you wouldn’t forget what today is. I shouldn’t have
blamed you,” Silas said, giving Maurice an awkward pat on the shoulder.

‘Miss Pierce? That’s Eliana.’

Maurice felt a wave of warmth melting the ice around his heart.

Silas thought that Aileen had been wronged today. He complained angrily to Maurice, “Miss Pierce is
so kind, but someone is always being mean to her. Ivy Harrison’s mother was bullying Aileen and Miss
Pierce today. She used a fake diamond necklace to frame Aileen. She said that Aileen had broken it
and demanded that Miss Pierce compensated for it. She is so hateful!”

Silas told Maurice about the situation in a clear manner.

Ivy Harrison? She was Erica’s daughter. So Erica was causing trouble for Eliana again?

Maurice guessed the truth immediately.

“Don’t worry. Bullies will come to a bad end.”

Maurice touched Silas’ head and decided that he would teach Erica a lesson in the future.

The limousine sped along and soon arrived at the old mansion.

Maurice got out and opened the door for Silas.

As usual, he reached out his hand to grasp Silas’.

Silas stiffened for a moment, but he didn’t refuse.

Maurice led Silas into the old mansion.



Earle Moran, the real leader of the Moran family, was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He was a legend in the business world for decades. He was now in his seventies.

His hair and beard were all white, and he wore a black suit. His face was hard and cold. A pair of
domineering eyes flashed with an icy light from within deep sockets. Even sitting on the sofa in his
home, he seemed alienated from others.

Maurice had that same domineering aura. But Earle’s aura grew stronger as time went by, until just a
glance from him could make one’s blood run cold.

“Why do you return so late?” Earle’s deep voice sounded like it had the power to penetrate into the
depths of a listener’s heart.

Silas couldn’t stop himself from cowering behind Maurice.

“Maurice, today is an important day, and it is inappropriate for you to be late.” Gerald seized the
opportunity to echo Earle.

Maurice was used to it.

Even on a day like this, his uncle would not miss an opportunity to belittle him in front of his
grandfather.
