Chapter 177

Maurice was able to hear Eliana’s voice, despite the fact that she was speaking in a whisper.

Finally, this lady came to terms with the fact that he had been wonderful to her.

“Why do you think that is?” Maurice said to Eliana as if on purpose to taunt her.

Eliana flushed and her eyes darted as the man’s hot breath dropped on her face.

“I’m a member of the Pierce family, so I’m guessing you want to make up for me in some way?”

Hodge said that Maurice was aware of her Pierce ancestry and that she had come to investigate him,
but he kept her by his side anyhow. In the end, why wouldn’t he try to make amends?

Eliana was confident in the logic of her reasoning.

“Haven’t you realized it yet? That I’m not the puppeteer backstage?” Maurice pointed out.

“I know, but you acquired the Pierce Group, didn’t you?”

Yet another factor remained hidden because Eliana couldn’t bring it up. Before he passed out, Hodge
had uttered the word “Moran.” Even while it didn’t seem that he was referring to Maurice, the Moran
family was clearly involved.

She had spent a long time looking into the matter, but it was still a mystery to her.

Was she a dunce? Maurice was really curious about what was going on inside Eliana’s head.

“I have never owed anybody anything, and I don’t need to make up for anyone.”

Eliana didn’t open her mouth.

Maurice smiled, but out of boiling anger. “You still have your doubts about me, then?”



“No way!” Eliana was quick to deny it. “But…”

“What?” Maurice interjected.

“I’m not sure.”

Eliana’s brain was a complete jumble.

The evidence pointed to a member of the Moran family as the genuine perpetrator, not Maurice. Who
would Maurice assist if the genuine criminal was from his family?

Would he come through for her? Or would he save the skin of the Moran family member?

Eliana couldn’t see beyond Maurice’s mask of mystery and didn’t seem to know how significant she
was to him.

When she was ready to open up, she looked him straight in the eye and said, “Thank you very much
for all of your assistance, Maurice, but I get the distinct impression that there are many things I don’t
know about you. Is there any way I can entirely trust you?”

She couldn’t fool herself knowingly.

She was expecting Maurice to be entirely open with her and reveal the truths he had concealed at this
point.

“I gave you an opportunity to know me but you blew it,” Maurice coldly said.

Eliana had the opportunity to know everything about him while he was still Preston, but she
disregarded it.

It was as if a bowl of cold water had been thrown over her head, leaving her with a half-frozen heart.



“It’s time to go now that the auction has ended.”

Maurice let go of Eliana, turned around, and went out the door, leaving her in a state of awe.

Was he upset for whatever reason?

As far as Eliana was concerned, she had no idea.

Theo, Maurice’s new assistant, had been standing in the distance, observing the whole event while
waiting for the two individuals.

Out of nowhere, he saw his boss walking away on his own.

Theo was taken aback and caught up with him. When he passed Eliana, he casually murmured, “Miss
Pierce, come along.”

After that, Maurice swiveled around and gave him a scathing stare.

“Please don’t bother with this naive lady and ask her to go back by herself. I’d like to avoid her at all
costs.”

Maurice walked away after saying this.

“Boss, wait.” It didn’t take Theo long to close the distance between them.

Afterward in the car, Theo pondered Maurice’s comments word after word.

His superior was quite something. Regardless of the consequences, Maurice remained unyielding in
his resolve.

Was his boss hinting at something?



‘I’d like to avoid her at all costs,’ Theo repeated inwardly.

To be more precise, what the boss was trying to say was that… Miss Pierce should be fired by him on
his orders.
