Chapter 277


    It was rush hour, and the road waspletely congested. Whether it was the Volkswagen or the


    Maybach, they had to move at a snail’s pace.


    Corbin was driving the car. Maurice sat in the passenger seat, leaving Harriet alone in the back seat.


    There was an awkward atmosphere in the car.


    Since getting in the car, Maurice had been thinking about Eliana.


    Eliana had juste back to thepany. Did she go to work somewhere else today? She had just


    returned to work for thepany. Why did she have to go out today?


    Was… was someone making things difficult for her again?


    At the thought of it, Maurice looked at Harriet in the back row.


    “Did Eliana go outside for work?”


    Harriet was taken aback at first, but she quickly recovered and nodded.


    “Yes, Miss Pierce is assigned to be the designer for a popr female star, who is as well-known as


    Nicole. She went there in person to show respect. Don’t worry, Mr. Moran. I simply admire Miss


    Pierce’s abilities, so I delegated such an important project to her.”


    Harriet’s voice sounded sincere, but she deliberately didn’t mention that the star was actually Cheryl.


    Maurice frowned and gave Harriet a serious look.


    Would she try to get something from him like those stupid women before?


    “Let me remind you, it was my grandfather who asked me to take you back to the Moran family today,


    but only this time. I won’t do it again. If you want to visit the Moran family in the future, you can do so


    on your own. I have nothing to do with it.”


    Corbin had been paying close attention to the two, but when he heard Maurice’s words, he couldn’t


    help but take a deep breath.


    Maurice seemed to be so cold to Harriet. He was so cruel.


    Harriet flushed immediately, clearly embarrassed.


    She didn’t expect Maurice to be this rude towards her in front of another person.


    “I see, Mr. Moran. I know that you’re always busy. I won’t bother you again.”


    Harriet clenched her teeth and pretended to be considerate.


    They finally arrived at the Moran family’s mansion after going through a lengthy traffic jam.

    Nancy was standing at the door, greeting them warmly.


    “Maurice, you are finally here!”


    Harriet got off the car and walked up to Nancy. “Long time no see, Mrs. Moran. How are you?”


    Nancy smiled at Harriet and said, “You must be the Stone family’s daughter. You have grown up and


    be even more beautiful.”


    Noticing Nancy’s friendly demeanor towards her, Harriet was excited and confident that she would be


    marrying into the Moran family soon.


    Nancy then looked at Maurice behind Harriet and pulled a long face when she saw him get off the car


    alone.


    “You brat! Why didn’t you bring Eliana here? I haven’t seen her in quite some time. I really miss her.”


    Maurice was taken aback at first, but a smile shed across his face soon after. He immediately


    softened.


    “Grandma, Eliana is busy working. I’ll bring her here next time.”


    “Forget it. It’s good to be busy with work. Young people should focus on their careers,” Nancy said


    dismissively, waving her hand. “It’s a shame that I can’t see Eliana today, though. But I’ll just make a


    video call with herter.”


    Harriet had no idea that Nancy was so fond of Eliana. Thetter seemed to have made a favorable


    impression on Nancy.


    Harriet’s heart sank at the thought, but it was Maurice’s attitude that worried her the most.


    Her thoughts were consumed by Maurice’s gentle expression and the smile that immediately shed


    across his face when Eliana was mentioned just now.


    This was not good…
