Chapter 168


    ‘Damn it! Can’t the door of the fitting room be locked from the inside?’ Eliana wondered irritably and


    pressed against the door in a hurry.


    “Don’te in!” she shouted.


    Maurice’s lips pressed into a thin line when he heard that. He didn’t know what the hell that woman was


    doing inside.


    Knocking on the door two more times, he warned sternly, “I’ll count to three. If you don’te out by


    then, I’lle in.”


    “No, wait!” Eliana shouted, putting all her weight against the door in a bid to stop him.


    “One… Two… Three!”


    Eliana was no match for Maurice in terms of strength, and it was with ease that he opened the door.


    Maurice quickly slipped into the fitting room and closed the door behind him.


    The moment heid eyes on Eliana, he was stunned into silence. It was as if she had be a whole


    different person.


    The white dress was wrapped tightly around her slender body, hugging each and every curve. On top


    of that, the low neckline, which framed her cleavage, and the slit at the side of the dress, through which


    her thigh peeked out, both fought for attention. Wearing this bold dress, Eliana looked indescribably


    sexy and charming.


    Looking at her, Maurice swallowed hard.


    ‘This dress… It’s too revealing!’


    That was the only thought on his mind, but he couldn’t tear his eyes away. It was as if his gaze had a


    mind of its own.


    Seeing the greedy way Maurice was staring at her, Eliana was rmed.


    “Maurice, where are you looking at? You pervert!”


    Crossing her arms over her chest, Eliana shot Maurice a ferocious re.


    “Didn’t you choose this dress yourself?” Maurice pointed out, raising an eyebrow.


    “I…”


    In her annoyance, Eliana’s face turned red. Unwilling to lose to Maurice, she decided to stick to her


    decision, no matter what.


    “I’m taking this dress!”


    With that, Eliana swung open the door and stormed out.


    Maurice reached out to stop her, but it was toote.


    As soon as Eliana walked out of the fitting room, all eyes turned to her, as if towards a maic force


    that they couldn’t resist. Everyone’s face lit up in amazement.


    But a momentter, they hurriedly lowered their heads in fear. The stunning beauty was apanied


    by a fierce man, who loomed behind her like a devil and red at everyone with a murderous look on


    his face. No one dared to so much as nce at Eliana after that.


    Soon, the chief stylist came out to assist Maurice. “Mr. Moran, how about letting thedy try on another


    dress?”


    “Hmm.” Maurice nodded expressionlessly.


    The chief stylist took out a dark blue velvet strapless evening dress that she had prepared.


    Not wanting to miss the opportunity to change out of the ufortable white dress, Eliana quickly


    grabbed the new dress and hurried back into the fitting room, where she changed her clothes.


    When she stepped out of the fitting room again, there were a few audible gasps.


    The dark blue velvet dress elevated Eliana’s appearance, making her look noble. The diamonds lining


    the hemline of the dress were like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly. The contrast that this dress


    cast against her fair skin made Eliana look elegant and mysterious, just like the goddess of night in


    legends.


    Eliana herself was shocked when she took a look at the mirror.


    At this moment, she felt like she was finally looking at the noble daughter of the Pierce family again.


    By now, Maurice had also changed into his suit.


    When the two of them stood next to each other, they looked like a perfect match.


    The chief stylist nodded in appreciation and pped excitedly. “Perfect!”


    Finally, Eliana’s transformation wasplete.


    The two of them left the store and got into the car. Eliana inadvertently looked forward and found a


    strange man sitting in the driver’s seat.


    “That’s my new assistant, Theo Scott,” Maurice exined indifferently.


    Eliana frowned in confusion, before realizing that Corbin couldn’t be here because of the car ident.


    As soon as she thought of Corbin, she inevitably thought of Hodge, who was still lying on the hospital


    bed. Her mood suddenly plummeted.


    “Hello, Miss Pierce,” Theo greeted her politely.


    “Theo, right? You should be really careful from now on. You know what happened to Mr. Moran’sst


    assistant, right? That poor man is still lying in the hospital. It is said that Mr. Moran asked him to kill


    someone.”


    Eliana’s words seemed to send shockwaves throughout the car, rendering Theo speechless.


    “Eliana,” Maurice hissed, narrowing his eyes at the woman next to him.


    “Did I say anything wrong? Corbin got into a car ident because of you, but you don’t look guilty at


    all. And you already even found a new assistant,” Eliana retorted, ring back at him fearlessly.


    “Shut up!”


    Blue veins stood out on Maurice’s forehead, and it was clear that he was on the verge of losing his


    temper.


    “I’m just stating facts!”


    Eliana was so angry that she didn’t notice the dangerous shift in Maurice’s mood.


    “All right. You asked for it,” Maurice said with a tight smile.

    Then, without any dy, he grabbed the back of Eliana’s neck and kissed her on the lips.


    His fierce attack left her no room to escape.


    Wound up with anger, coupled with the lingering lust after seeing Eliana in the white dress earlier,


    Maurice was like a ferocious lion.


    Eliana struggled with all her strength, but she couldn’t get rid of him.


    In the end, she bit down hard on Maurice’s lip, instantly drawing blood.
