Chapter 176

Now that Eliana had finally uncovered the truth, she didn’t care about Erica anymore. All she wanted to
do was to retrieve both her parents’ personal belonging.

Seeing that Erica had just been taught a lesson, Maurice casually handed the check to Theo.

With the check in his possession, Theo quickly sealed the deal with the person in charge of the auction
house.

“Mr. Moran, we are greatly pleased to have you here with us. You are so generous.”

The person in charge looked at the auctioneer with a smile and gave a nod. The auctioneer
immediately brought the music box to Eliana and handed the priceless item to her, bowing slightly in
respect.

“Miss Pierce, congratulations. You are now the new owner of this precious antique.”

Eliana’s hands couldn’t stop trembling. The small music box was sold to them at fifteen million dollars.

But for her, what made it so valuable was not the well-designed box itself.

She lifted the lid open, and three miniature figures in western classical clothes stood up and began to
dance to the sweet melody.

The three little figures included a man, a woman, and a little girl. Judging from the noticeable smiles on
their faces, they were obviously a happy family. If one took a closer look, they would find that the little
girl’s face bore a striking resemblance to Eliana’s.

It was no coincidence.



When Eliana’s father acquired the music box years ago, the faces of the three figures had been
distorted and blurred due to its long history.

Wanting to enhance and personalize the item, Eliana’s mother had an idea. She suggested they draw
new faces for the three little figures. As a child, Eliana insisted on drawing her image on the little girl.

Of course, Eliana’s father would not disagree. Since the miniature figures were a family of three as
well, they could draw each of their own faces on them.

So he hired the most skilled craftsman to make the necessary changes. After a few hours, the finished
product was a sight to behold.

That was why Eliana valued the music box so much. It served as a constant reminder of her family’s
legacy.

The item itself didn’t matter much to her. What was priceless were the fond memories associated with
it.

The music box kept playing familiar melodious music, which reminded Eliana of the happy times of her
childhood. She could not help but shed tears.

Maurice chuckled and teased, “Weren’t you refusing the offer at the beginning? If I’m not mistaken,
those seem to be tears of joy.”

Eliana rolled her eyes in response, and her mood suddenly shifted. She took a long look at the music
box and finally handed it to Maurice.

But the confused man didn’t accept it. Instead, he simply stared at her in bewilderment.

“You bought it. I’m just glad enough that I was able to see it one more time. Maurice, thank you for
reminding me of the wonderful days of my past. It’s too expensive, and I can’t afford it. Here you go.”



Insisting to give it to the rightful owner, Eliana raised the music box towards Maurice.

A wave of bitterness consumed Maurice’s heart. Was she so indifferent to his feelings? This woman
would rather give up her family heirloom than owe him a favor. How outrageous!

Maurice pursed his lips and felt unhappy. He extended an act of kindness toward her, and she rejected
his gift in return.

“Since you don’t want it, it’s worthless to me. I’d rather throw it away and be rid of it.”

Maurice extended his arm high in the air, pretending to throw the music box away. The frightened
Eliana immediately wrested the music box from his hand.

Accidentally, the two’s hands clasped together.

As she saw their fingers intertwined, Eliana’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Maurice was also speechless for a moment.

The handsome pair didn’t show any resistance and let their hands hold each other instead.

Looking closely at Maurice’s handsome face, Eliana struggled to contain her emotions.

Why was he so good to her?

Processing the flurry of thoughts in her mind, Eliana suddenly realized that Maurice seemed to be
constantly looking out for her.

He had already stood up to Erica for her twice. As for Evelynn, Maurice had singlehandedly taken down
the Jarvis family.



Although Eliana had tried hard to find excuses for Maurice’s selfless behavior, now she could no longer
deceive herself. It seemed that Maurice truly cared about her.

After a moment of hesitation, Eliana plucked up the courage to voice her thoughts.

“Why are you so good to me?”
