Chapter 486
As was requested by Eliana, she was taken away by Gerald in front of everyone in the Moran Group.
Lucia was among those who witnessed the event. She was saddened by it since she saw Eliana as a
friend. There was no chance Lucia would stand and watch her get taken away.
She decided to follow Eliana and leave with her.
“Wait! Take me with Eliana!”
Lucia pushed herself into Gerald’s car.
“Who are you? Why did you follow us?”
Gerald had only seen Lucia a few times when she was a child, so he didn’t recognize her. Naturally, he
was not nice to her.
“I’m Miss Pierce’s assistant. I’m requesting to go with her,” Lucia exined in a hurry.
“I don’t care who you are! Get out of the car right this second!”
Gerald frowned upon her impertinence and was about to order someone to escort her out of the car.
“You can’t kick me out!” Lucia held the door tightly and said, “Mr. Moran sent me to look after Miss
Pierce. If you take her away, you have to take me too!”
Assistant? Eliana didn’t have a prominent position in thepany, so Gerald figured that she was just
an ordinary employee.
He scanned her and then finally relented to her request.
“Fine,e along if you choose to do so.”
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a seat next to Eliana.

“Eliana, are you alright?”
With a bitter smile, Eliana replied, “You shouldn’t have followed me.”
“Gerald looks like a dangerous man! I had toe and protect you.”
Lucia vigntly stared at Gerald during the entire car ride. She didn’t have many memories of him. All
she knew was that he had been living in the shadows Maurice’s father and then Maurice these past few
years.
Lucia had a feeling that Gerald had other intentions.
Unfortunately, she turned out to be correct.
Gerald seemed like he was sitting indifferently in his seat, but the truth was, he had been staring
greedily at Eliana through the rearview mirror inside the car.
He found that she looked so much like another woman.
Gerald saw Ingrid, Eliana’s mother, in her daughter.
Even a slight resemnce was enough to stoke his interest.
A hint of madness shed through his eyes. He finally had Eliana in his grasp!
He had two motivations for catching Eliana.
The first was that he could use her to manipte Maurice. The second was that the woman looked so
much like her mother.
Ever since Gerald was a child, he lived under his brother’s shadow. No matter how hard he tried, his
aplished brother outshone him.
Gerald felt like he was a joke. No one took notice of him until a woman appeared and saved him.
The woman was Eliana’s mother, Ingrid.
During that time, Gerald had no friends. His peers looked down on him and constantlypared him to
his brother.
When Ingrid came into his life, she treated him kindly, encouraged him, and cared for him. She became
his only friend andpanion.
Ever since that moment, he had been in love with her.
In the end, she married Lemuel.
He wouldn’t allow anyone to take Ingrid away from him.
There was no chance!
As Gerald got more lost in his memory, the look on his face became more ferocious and determined.
Eliana knew Gerald had other motives for taking her, but she believed she could handle it.
However, Lucia was there, and Eliana was worried that she might get hurt.
She whispered in Lucia’s ear, “You better leave now. It might get dangerous.”
Lucia didn’t seem worried at all. She patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll be fine.”
Eliana had no choice but to stifle her hesitations when she saw Lucia’s confidence. However, there was
one more problem.
“What about your job?”
“Eliana, stop worrying about me.” Lucia smiled and said, “I don’t like the people in the office anyway. I’d
rather stay with you.”
She came from a super wealthy family, so her job didn’t matter!
