Chapter 170


    Eliana didn’t see the unexpected person approaching her.


    She stood in front of the sink and peered at the beautifuldy reflected in the mirror, feeling a bit odd


    about her.


    Eliana Pierce, the daughter of a wealthy family, seemed to have reappeared five years after she was


    supposed to have died.


    Was it all due to Maurice? Eliana was clueless.


    She shook her head, threw off her tangled thoughts, inhaled deeply, and exited the restroom.


    Asher was waiting for her outside the restroom door at that moment.


    With excitement, he approached Eliana as she emerged from the restroom.


    “The timing couldn’t have been better, Eliana. I had no idea you’d show up here.”


    Asher intended to grasp Eliana’s hand while he talked.


    Eliana evaded his grasp. “Behave yourself! When your wife sees what you’re up to, she’ll go wild once


    again.”


    At the mention of Erica, Asher’s visage sank into a frown.


    Seeing Eliana blossom over time before his eyes and contrasting her with Erica’s growing


    shrewishness made Asher feel more and more awful.


    Why? Why did Eliana not belong to him anymore? When Asher thought about Maurice’s gaze when he


    looked at Eliana, he was filled with envy.


    “Why do you continue to be with Maurice, Eliana? The Pierce Group went bankrupt and your parents


    died because of him!” said Asher eagerly.


    “You think I’m naive enough to ept whatever you say, Asher? In order for me to trust you, you must


    provide me with proof that Maurice was the perpetrator right now.”


    Asher was stunned and speechless at the mere mention of proof since he had none to back it up.


    “Now that you have no proof, I need a clear path,” snarled Eliana.


    How did Eliana manage to protect Maurice in this manner? It pushed Asher to the edge of sanity.


    Holding on to Eliana’s hand, he shouted uncontrobly, “What are you doing, Eliana? You’re simply


    making up reasons! Simply because he has the means to provide an extravagant lifestyle, you’ve


    chosen Maurice. I’m no less capable than him. Are you so financially strapped?”


    Asher’s psyche had been ravaged by jealousy, and he was entirely irrational.


    p!


    Angry, Eliana smacked him in the face.


    “Are you in the clear now?”


    Laughing slyly, Eliana stared at Asher’s astonished expression. “Aren’t you, Asher, setting yourself up


    for a humiliating situation? What do you have to offer inparison to Maurice? Besides his superior


    strength, he is also more attractive and fascinating than you. In addition, he is a more responsible


    person than you are. If he has a wife, he won’t be thinking about other women constantly.”

    “Eliana!”


    Asher’s face was savage and half of it had bloated. He had a devilish appearance.


    “Don’t scream in my face. Dare you utter those remarks in front of Maurice once more?” Eliana had a


    stern look on her face as she gave him a taste of his own medicine.


    Asher could not speak.


    “Well, now you know what makes him so unique from you.”


    In a single breath, Eliana said all the words she had inside of her. She was feeling a lot better by the


    time she was done.


    A pair of dark eyes not far away was studying her, but she was unaware.


    While Eliana was speaking, Maurice happened to be close and heard every word.


    The fact that thisdy had so much regard for him surprised him.


    She hadn’t returned to him, and Maurice was concerned, so he came to look for her. He wasn’t


    prepared to hear her honest assertion.


    The mood of someone else, on the other hand, was quite different. Erica, who had pursued Asher, was


    also in the audience for this moment.


    She was enraged by the situation and reacted angrily on the spot.


    “You’re one mean bitch, Eliana! What the hell are you doing seducing my husband?”


    All eyes were on them as a piercing cry erupted in the otherwise serene hall.
