Chapter 474


    Eliana and Lucia waited at the door of Harriet’s office, refusing to leave.


    Harriet’s assistant also stood there, watching them the whole time. When she saw that the two of them


    were so determined, she began to speak in a voice dripping with sarcasm.


    “I don’t know why some people still have the nerve to stand here. Really shameless!”


    Although she didn’t name names, Eliana and Lucia knew that she was referring to them.


    But Lucia was in a bad mood, so she snapped, “Who are you referring to?”


    The assistant’s words made her even more furious.

    The assistant sneered coldly, “You know who I am referring to.”


    “And what are you trying to say? If you have something to say, say it. I’m listening.”


    Eliana didn’t want to cause any trouble. But she wouldn’t shrink back when she was being bullied.


    “Okay, Miss Pierce, I’ll be frank with you then. Do you know what Miss Stone and Mr. Moran are talking


    about inside right now?” said the assistant.


    “What?” Eliana asked in confusion.


    “She and Mr. Moran are talking about the development of thend near the Moon Lake Manor. At the


    party in the manorst time, you embarrassed and offended Mr. Stone. The Stone family is not very


    happy with this cooperation now. And it has taken Miss Stone a lot of effort to talk to them and convince


    them to continue it. Now you want to mess it up again? I think you only want to ruin the cooperation


    between the twopanies.”


    Eliana almost could not digest so much information that she learned all at once.


    She had vaguely heard someone from thepany mention that the Stone and Moran Groups


    cooperated to develop thend.


    Coincidentally, she also knew something about the inside story of thatnd.


    Before the Pierce family went bankrupt, the Pierce Group had several factories built on thatnd.


    Her family valued thatnd so much that they had considered cooperating with others to develop it and


    build a theme park.


    But unfortunately, the government didn’t approve it because of the ancient buildings near the area.


    And even if they were approved, the cost of development and construction would be very high because


    they needed to protect those ancient buildings. The Pierce family could not afford it, so her father had


    to give up in the end.


    Eliana didn’t expect that even a wealthy family like the Moran family still had to cooperate with the


    Stone family to develop thend.


    Inside Harriet’s office, she and Maurice were discussing the press conference that their families would


    hold in the afternoon.


    “Mr. Moran, today is the big day for our families. And my uncle will be hereter. But he and Eliana had


    some conflicts before. So if you mind, I can persuade him not toe.”


    Harriet pretended to mention that incident casually.


    “Do you think it’s necessary?”


    Maurice sat on the sofa, carefully reading the documents for his speech. He didn’t even raise his head


    when he spoke.


    It seemed that Eliana really didn’t matter much to him.


    Harriet smiled happily. “I knew you won’t mind.”


    This time, Maurice raised his head expressionlessly. “I mean, the cooperation between the Stone family


    and Moran family has been settled. Is it necessary for your uncle toe?”


    Harriet’s expression became still. She forced a smile and said, “This is the first cooperation between


    our families, and the media will be there. To show that the Stone family attaches great importance to


    this, he will be here, of course.”


    “Oh, really?”


    Maurice stared at Harriet. A bad feeling rose in his heart.


    Why was she so enthusiastic about inviting her uncle to the press conference? There must be


    something behind it.


    Soon, Maurice found the answer.


    Corbin, standing next to him, suddenly received a message.


    After Corbin read it, the look on his face drastically changed.


    He immediately bent over and whispered in Maurice’s ear, “Boss, I just got the news. Your grandfather


    is on his way for the press conference.”


    His grandfather wasing too?


    Maurice didn’t think this was good.


    Then something shed in his mind. And he understood it all at once.


    In recent years, Earle had never intervened in the management of Moran Group unless it was


    something big. It was just a press conference for the development of a theme park. Did Earle really


    have to be there personally?


    But since he wasing, there must be another reason. It was probably not because of the


    cooperation between the Stone family and the Moran family.


    Earle might have another purpose.


    Maurice carefully recalled what Harriet had said.


    This was just a small press conference, but the elders of both families would be there.


    There must be a plot here.
