    Chapter 38 The Coming Kiss


    Maurice’s sharp eyes were filled with coldness, but the very tip of his eyes curved up slightly, looking


    tempting.


    Whenever he smiled from theers of his lips, his thin lips appeared so alluring, making women want


    to kiss him.


    However, no one ever dared to approach him because of how cold he was.But Eliana had to kiss him


    now in order to finish her act.


    Anxiety grew in her heart as she saw Evelynn standing still while she moved her lips closer to


    Maurice’s.


    And Maurice seemed to be really cool about her kissing him.


    Eliana could not drag it on for any longer.


    She nced at Evelynn shyly and asked, "Miss Jarvis, why are you still standing here? Are you going


    to watch us kiss?"


    Evelynn looked at Maurice and asked sadly, "Maurice, is she telling the truth? Do you really…"

    Maurice looked at her and frowned, his sharp gaze indicating that she was disturbing their kiss.


    Evelynn was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes.She wanted to pretend like she was pitiful, but


    Eliana seemed to be better at it than she was.


    Eliana frowned, her eyes wet with tears as she pleaded, "Miss Jarvis, please don’t make things difficult


    for Maurice."


    She then turned to him with an affectionate look and continued, "He is not saying anything now


    because of how close your families are.Sooner orter, he will announce that the woman he loves is…


    is…"


    Eliana suddenly felt words stuck in her throat.She could not continue to act any longer and wanted to


    retreat.


    "Eliana."


    Maurice’s maic voice instantly rendered her brain numb.She was stunned for a moment before she


    looked at Maurice whose eyes’ were full of banter.


    "Well done."


    Subconsciously, Eliana looked to the other side and found that Evelynn had left in a fit of pique.She


    maintained a straight posture, looking dignified.


    However, the big blow had caused her to be in a hurry.


    Eliana breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.But Maurice continued to hold her waist.


    She reminded him, "Mr.Moran, you can let go of me now."

    Maurice looked at her with his deep eyes, which made her feel like she could drown in them.


    "Since you’ve started, why don’t you keep up the act till the end?"


    "No, no…"


    Eliana shook off his hand, blushing.


    "I… I’ll find something to eat."


    Saying that, she ran away.


    The banquet hall of Boyo Hotel was huge, and there was a table full of delicious desserts.


    While Eliana was enjoying the desserts, someone suddenly handed her a piece of tiramisu.


    "This is the hotel’s specialty.Have a try," Wyatt exined with a smile.


    Eliana immediately recognized him as the man Maurice had yed golf with that day.


    Wyatt was dressed in a neat suit and a tie, which made him look dashing andposed.His handsome


    faint smile made him look like azy, spoiled man from a rich family.


    "Hello."


    Eliana greeted him politely, but she didn’t take the tiramisu.


    Wyatt didn’t mind that at all.His eyes lit up as he looked at her admiringly.


    "You look gorgeous today."


    "Thank you." Eliana smiled.


    "I had to dress up in order to act for Mr.Moran."


    Wyatt turned away and said, "It seems that your boss is very busy.If I were him, I would ignore my work


    and pay attention to you…"


    Eliana looked in the direction of his gaze.


    Maurice was standing straight and talking to a middle-aged man, holding a goblet in his hand.


    The middle-aged man stooped, ttering Maurice so openly.


    All of a sudden, the man turned around, and Eliana recognized him immediately.


    ‘Hodge Chadwick?’


    Eliana wanted to step forward, but stopped.


    Hodge used to be her father’s right-hand man.


    Could he know about the inside information from back then?


    "Hodge used to be an important figure in Pierce Group back then.I heard that Lemuel, the CEO of


    Pierce Group, valued him a lot.Look at him ttering your boss like an obedient dog!" Wyatt said


    sarcastically.


    Eliana’s heart sank, but she pretended to be calm and replied, "A single pir is not enough to support


    a copsing building.I guess he didn’t have a choice."


    "Indeed.Pierce Group had some illegal operations in the assets merger, which gave the Moran Group a


    good opportunity to take over Pierce Group.But Lemuel was pitiful.He didn’t have to die, but he was


    just so disobedient…"


    Wyatt said in a regretful tone.


    Shocked, Eliana almost lost her bnce.Had Hodge and Maurice worked together to destroy the


    Pierce Group? Had they forced her father to die? Feeling a sudden chill, she began to tremble.


    After talking to Maurice for a while, Hodge nodded, bowed, and turned around, walking to the door.


    With her eyes fixed on him, Eliana took a difficult step forward.She must ask Hodge what had


    happened all those years ago.


    However, Wyatt stopped her and asked in confusion, "What’s the matter with you? You don’t look too


    good."


    "Let go."


    Without any hesitation, Eliana pushed him away and strode purposefully towards Hodge.


    However, Hodge had already left the banquet hall by then.


    Lifting up her dress, she rushed out of the hall.She saw many people entering and exiting, but she


    could not find Hodge at all.
