Chapter 372


    As soon as Eliana fell to the ground, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her tightly tofort her.


    The warm and reassuring embrace felt familiar. Without a doubt, she knew that it was Maurice holding


    her dearly.


    Eliana was pleased with his act of affection. It was exactly what she needed to calm down. She just


    had a narrow escape from death, which deeply unsettled her. However, there was no fear in her heart.


    Instead, she briefly recalled her happy and unrestrained life in the past.


    Harriet followed the crowd and saw a heartbreaking scene. The man of her dreams was tightly hugging


    her nemesis.


    They seemed to be one, as if nothing could separate them. Their special bond became even more


    unbreakable.


    Harriet’s face suddenly darkened. Her blood was boiling with anger and resentment. She had to put an


    end to this immediately.


    “My goodness, Eliana. I was scared to death! Are you alright?”


    Harriet rushed over, grabbed Eliana’s arm, and pulled her away from Maurice. Inspecting the poor girl


    for injuries, Harriet sighed deeply and pretended to be worried.


    “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”


    Frowning, Eliana withdrew her arm and rubbed it furtively.


    Harriet had used excessive force when she grabbed her. If she gripped Eliana’s arm a little longer, it


    would surely be bruised.


    “Mr. Moran! Is everyone alright?”


    When the matter was over, Kelvin suddenly reappeared and rushed to their side.


    When he saw that Eliana had been saved, he was not pleased at all. He turned all his anger on her.


    “I’ve told you that you couldn’t choose this horse, but you didn’t listen to me. If you hadn’t been so


    stubborn, none of this would have happened!”


    Hearing Kelvin me her for the ident, Eliana immediately became annoyed.


    “Thankfully, I didn’t get hurt. But I do have a concern. It took you a lot of time toe over here. In


    terms of performance, there is obviously arge gap between you and younger people. You just can’t


    keep up with us.”


    “How dare you insult me like that?”

    Kelvin couldn’t stand being publicly humiliated for his poor physical strength. The vein on his forehead


    began to throb. He was mere moments away from losing his temper.


    “That’s enough!” Maurice red at Kelvin. “If I’m not mistaken, you hit the horse first, Mr. Stone. That’s


    why the horse became frightened and lost control, which almost resulted in Eliana getting killed.”


    Realizing that he had been caught red-handed, Kelvin suddenly changed his tone and awkwardly said,


    “It was a mistake. I didn’t mean it.”


    “That’s right. What’s important is that you’re safe now. Please forgive my uncle, Eliana,” Harriet


    pleaded sincerely.


    Eliana’s lips curled into a sneer, and she didn’t say anything.


    Maurice nced coldly at Harriet and Kelvin. He took Eliana’s hand and said gently, “Let’s get out of


    here.”


    Eliana felt some reassuring warmth in her palm. She looked at Maurice with a sense of security in her


    heart. It seemed no matter what happened, this man would always be by her side.


    Eliana’s crisis was temporarily over, while Nana’s nerve-racking meeting was just about to begin.


    At the moment, she was taking the two kids along to meet Huey and Rosamond.


    They nned to talk over a meal at the charming Lakeside Restaurant in the Moon Lake Manor.


    As soon as the twins entered the restaurant, they hurried towards a window seat and sat down.


    The Lakeside Restaurant was just opposite the racetrack. Through the huge transparent window, the


    ongoing spectacle in the racetrack could be seen.


    Nana kept fidgeting in her seat while the two kids were drawn to the loud cheers from the racetrack.


    “Nana, what’s going on there? It sounds so noisy.”


    Aileen tiptoed and squashed her nose against the window, trying to see past the tall trees that were


    blocking the view of the racetrack.


    Nana came back to her senses and nced outside.


    She replied casually, “There must be a horse race or a show of some sort. I’ll take you both there once


    I’m free.”


    The two kids were still peering outside the window, eager to see what was going on. However, Nana


    was busy thinking about how to deal with Huey and his mother.


    “Hey, stop looking over there.” Nana pulled the twins over and said seriously, “Remember, we all have


    a role to y. Let’s have a rehearsal now.”


    Adrian rolled his eyes and replied, “Nana, we already practiced for several hoursst night. We’ve


    perfected our part. Is it necessary to do it again?”


    “That’s right. I’m also ready,” Aileen chimed in.


    Despite hearing their reassuring words, Nana couldn’t help but worry. She held their little hands and


    pleaded, “I promise this will be thest rehearsal, okay?”


    Aileen and Aileen looked at each other and shrugged. They would do anything to make Nana calm


    down. “Okay.”


    Nana smiled and asked, “What are you going to call me when they arrive?”


    Aileen raised her hand and replied obediently, “Mommy!”
