Chapter 366


    The next second, Harriet fell into Maurice’s arms.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Moran!” Harriet said in a hurry, looking up at Maurice with her hands resting against his


    chest for support. “I couldn’t maintain my bnce. I guess I was a little dizzy after riding for such a long


    time.”


    If it weren’t for the fact that her whole body was basically pressed against Maurice, her apology would


    have sounded more sincere.


    As she spoke, she flipped back her hair which was disheveled by the wind while riding, deliberately


    revealing her slender neck.


    The faint, seductive fragrance sprayed on her neck drifted into Maurice’s nose.


    Harriet had to hold back thecent smirk that fought to rush to the surface. In fact, this was a


    scene that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind.


    Even the perfume she was wearing today had been carefully chosen for this specific moment. She


    would not make any mistakes this time.


    Of course, the only reason Harriet had seeded was because Maurice was too taken aback to react


    quickly enough.


    The moment he realized what was happening, however, he frowned and took a step back, causing


    Harriet to stumble.


    As for the scent of perfume left on his clothes, Maurice found it extremely irritating.


    For Eliana, who was standing in the distance, the exact exchange between these two people was not


    clear.


    All she could see was Harriet clinging to Maurice and looking intimately into his eyes, making the two of


    them looking like a couple.


    Eliana couldn’t control the jealousy and bitterness that flooded her heart.


    What was going on?


    Maurice was the one who had called her here in the first ce. But now that she was here, he was


    happily holding another woman in his arms.


    But wait…


    Wasn’t it better for him to be entangled with another woman?


    If Maurice was entertaining himself with other women, it meant that he was tired of Eliana and would


    set her free soon.


    As she thought of all these possibilities, Eliana’s mind was in a mess.


    There was no doubt that seeing Maurice and Harriet in such an intimate posture left a bad taste in her


    mouth.


    However, the logical part of her knew that it was better for Maurice to be distracted by Harriet like this.


    After all, if Maurice found another woman for himself, he would not pester Eliana all the time. She could


    go back to living a peaceful life like before, without constantly worrying that the identity of her children’s


    father would be revealed.


    Wouldn’t that be the best ending?


    “Eliana!” Corbin called out, waving his hand in front of Eliana’s face. “Are you spacing out again? Mr.


    Moran called us over.”


    “Ah!” When Eliana snapped back to reality, she saw Harriet waving them over.


    Eliana had no interest in going over there and disturbing the happy couple, but the look in Maurice’s


    eyes sent a shiver down her spine.


    His eyes contained a clear warning: if she didn’t go there right now, she would meet a miserable end.

    But why?


    Did Maurice find it fun to flirt with another woman in front of her?


    Whatever it was, Eliana had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk towards Maurice.


    As she approached Maurice and Harriet, she saw a refined middle-aged man standing there next to


    them.


    “Corbin, Eliana, you’re here too.” Harriet warmly greeted the two. “Let me introduce you all. This is my


    uncle, Kelvin Stone. He’s my father’s younger brother.”


    “Nice to meet you. Harriet has often mentioned you two to me. She said that Mr. Jenkins and Miss


    Pierce are both Maurice’s capable employees. Now, I can see for myself that it’s true,” Kelvin said with


    a warm smile on his face.


    Eliana was not good at receivingpliments orworking with other people, so all she could do was


    smile awkwardly in response.


    “Mr. Stone, you’re exaggerating too much. Miss Pierce isn’t as capable as you think. I’ll be very happy if


    she doesn’t cause me any trouble,” Maurice said lightly.


    These words instantly grated on Eliana’s nerves. She turned around and gave Maurice a ferocious


    re.


    What did he mean?


    When had she caused him any trouble?


    Well…


    Even if she had caused him trouble, Maurice had caused a lot of trouble on his own, too.


    The fire in Eliana’s eyes was the first thing that had piqued Maurice’s interest today, and he stared back


    at her with as much intensity as she did.


    The two of them were looking at each other as if no one else was around.


    Harriet, who was standing next to them, was so angry that she wished she could reach out and stop


    their eye contact at once.


    Instead, she inhaled sharply and suggested, “Eliana, since we’re all here at the racetrack, would you


    like to join us and ride a horse too?”


    “Sorry, I don’t know how to ride.”


    In order to avoid trouble, Eliana chose to lie decisively.


    “Really? What a pity.” Harriet nced at Kelvin with a smile, and an inexplicable flicker crossed her


    eyes. “Actually, my uncle is really good at horse riding. How about we let him teach you?”


    Hearing this, everyone fell silent.


    But no one was as stunned as Eliana was.


    Why was Harriet suddenly being nice to her?
