Chapter 409


    In the room, Eliana was anxious. She nervously pressed her ear against the wall and listened to what


    was going on outside.


    Footsteps were getting closer and closer. It seemed that they were heading towards the room she was


    in.


    Eliana prayed in her heart that she was wrong and that they were noting to her room.


    Unfortunately for Eliana, her prayer did not work. Harriet walked straight to the room as if she knew that


    Eliana was there.


    “Mr. Moran, can I stay in this room?” Harriet asked Earle.


    “Of course,” Earle agreed at once.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Eliana’s nervousness increased upon hearing that.


    They wereing in!


    What should she do now? She couldn’t be caught there!


    Seeing the delicate situation she found herself in, Eliana nced up at the ss window again.


    At this point, she had no choice! If she didn’t want to be caught here, she absolutely had to jump the


    window.


    The moment was critical and Eliana didn’t have time to think too much. She rushed to the window and


    climbed on the frame. When she nced at the ground below, she felt dizzy and her legs wobbled.


    Damn! This was too high!


    If someone jumped from this height, he would kill himself or else be paralyzed for life.


    After quickly analyzing the situation, Eliana concluded that jumping from the window was out of the


    question. She had no desire to die or end up paralyzed. But as she thought about what to do now, she


    heard the doorknob turn.


    Holding the windowsill tightly, Eliana was so nervous that she thought her heart was going to leap out


    of her chest.


    Damn it! She had no way to escape now.


    “I’m afraid this room is currently unavable, Miss Stone. You can stay in another one with better view.”


    Maurice caught up with Harriet and Earle just in time before Harriet could open the door.


    Seeing that Maurice just didn’t want her in that room, Harriet thought of something.


    What could he possibly be hiding in this room that made him so nervous?


    Was… Was Eliana in there?


    Harriet put on a miserable expression and said sadly, “It looks like Maurice doesn’t want me here. I’d


    better go.”


    “Wait…” Earle stopped her just as she was about to turn around. He sensed that something was wrong


    and said firmly, “You can live here if you want. I’d like to see why this room is unavable!”


    After saying that, Earle opened the door at once and walked right in.


    Immediately, Maurice held his breath. He was extremely nervous right now and followed Earle inside.


    However, the room was empty. The bed was a little messy, but there was no one in there.


    Maurice was stunned. Where on earth was Eliana?


    Where did she go?


    “Why is the bed in a mess?” Earle asked suspiciously.


    “Sir, I’m sorry. The boss told me I could stay in this roomst night, so I slept here,” Corbin quickly


    exined.


    Earle believed him.


    However, Harriet didn’t buy it. She walked into the room and looked around. However, it seemed like


    there was indeed no one there.


    But when she walked to the bedside, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.


    She had only smelled the same perfume on Eliana.


    Harriet was now certain that Eliana was in there!


    There was no doubt about that.


    But, there was no ce to hide in the room…


    As Harriet wondered where the hell Eliana could be, her gaze suddenly fell on the open window.


    Could it be…


    Looking suspicious, Harriet walked to the window and looked outside.


    There was no one!


    Damn it! Where did that bitch hide?


    What Harriet didn’t know was that Eliana was standing right there by the window, hidden behind the


    wall. Eliana was scared out of her wits right now, and she did her best not to look down. She held her


    breath with her heart beating fast.


    Harriet was determined to find Eliana, and wanted to look further out.


    She would eventually find Eliana if it weren’t for Maurice. He suddenly spoke.


    “Miss Stone, have you seen enough? You are not yet married into the Moran family, so there is no


    reason why you would act like a hostess here.”


    Harriet couldn’t help but curse in her heart when she heard what Maurice said. However, she was


    savvy enough not to let her discontentment show and turned to look at Maurice. “Maurice, I was just


    appreciating the view.”


    “Well, Miss Stone, there is no rush. The house will be yours to share someday. But since Corbin has


    used this room, you can live in another room.”


    Earle’s words, though soft, were final. There was nothing more Harriet could say. She took onest


    look at the window before leaving the room with Earle.


    As soon as the two of them left, Maurice, Corbin and Eliana breathed a sigh of relief.


    Corbin looked at Maurice in confusion and asked, “Boss, where on earth did Eliana hide? No matter


    how much I rack my brains, I can’t figure out where she could be hiding.”


    However, Maurice ignored him and rushed to the window.
