Chapter 482


    Under the bewildered gaze of the crowd, Harriet fainted and fallen off the stage. Everyone was


    shocked, wondering what had happened.


    It was so unexpected that the journalists even forgot to film. Even those on stage were stunned.


    Someone identally opened the champagne, and the loud noise rang out like a gunshot through the


    very quiet room. Champagne was sprayed around the room, followed by colorful ribbons flying


    everywhere. It looked like the grand finale of a funny y.


    It wasn’t until a shrill scream rang out that the festive atmosphere in the room was broken.


    “Help! Someone tried to murder Miss Stone!”


    Looking genuinely scared, Lilian screamed with all her might, pointing at Harriet, who was still lying


    unconscious on the floor.


    At this moment, the crowd burst into a roar.


    “It’s Miss Stone! What happened to her?”


    “Murder? Hurry up and shoot!”


    “That’s some huge news! It will be on the headlines tomorrow!”


    Journalists rushed forward. Fortunately, the bodyguards were quick to react and immediately stopped


    the crazed journalists.


    The conference room suddenly became very chaotic.


    Maurice finally came to his senses. He immediately rushed down the stage and picked up the


    unconscious Harriet.


    “Corbin! Call an ambnce! I’ll take her out of here. You stay here and handle this chaos,” Maurice


    ordered to Corbin who was standing behind him.


    Then surrounded by his bodyguards, he left directly, with Harriet in his arms.


    Corbin forced himself to calm down and immediately pulled out his phone to call an ambnce. Once


    done, he proceeded to shout orders to the bodyguards to control the excited journalists. He had to


    restore order in the room.


    However, the crowd was inplete panic and could not calm down for a while.


    The bouquet of roses Eliana had given Harriet had been trampled on by the anxious crowd, and the


    beautiful petals were scattered on the floor.


    While everyone was restless, Eliana stood there, motionless.


    She was suddenly jostled by the crazy crowd and fell to the floor.


    It was only when she felt a sharp pain in her arm that Eliana came to her senses. Enduring the pain,


    she tried to stand up. The moment she looked up, she saw Maurice walking away anxiously with


    Harriet in his arms.


    At that moment, she seemed to have lost all her strength and fell back on the floor. She sat there,


    staring at Maurice’s receding figure and feeling a sharp pain in her heart.


    It turned out that whenever he had to choose someone, it would never be her.


    “Eliana!” Lucia called out when she saw Eliana on the floor. She immediately walked over and helped


    her up. “How are you? Are you hurt?” Lucia inquired worriedly.


    “I’m fine…”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Eliana’s face was deathly pale. She didn’t look fine at all.


    Lucia walked her to the lounge.


    Eliana sat down on the couch in the lounge. She was still in shock and her hands and feet were cold. In


    addition, she was shaking all over.


    Lucia quickly poured a ss of water and gave it to Eliana. After taking a few sips, Eliana gradually


    rxed.


    “Thank you,” she said sincerely to Lucia.


    She felt that she hade back to life.


    “Eliana, weren’t you supposed to be sorting out the documents in the office? Why were you at the


    press conference?”


    Lucia was confused. Corbin had given Eliana a random task in order to keep her away from the press


    conference. He did that to protect her. What went wrong?


    Eliana smiled bitterly. If it weren’t for Lilian, she wouldn’t havee to the press conference.


    She was about to say something when the lounge door was violently pushed opened.


    Eliana was so frightened that the ss in her hand almost fell to the floor.


    Earle walked over aggressively, apanied by a group of bodyguards.
