    Each word that Gerald said was clear and articte to Eliana as she listened to him.


    Her brain went nk and she could hardly believe her ears.

    What were those things that Gerald had just said?


    Meanwhile, just outside the door, Maurice’s face was twisted with anger. He red at Gerald and


    shouted, “Shut your trap!”


    However, Gerald only sneered and continued to speak.


    “Maurice, tell me something. Do you feel guilty? I was the one responsible for the bankruptcy of the


    Pierce family. This matter isn’t even a secret in the Moran family. Poor Eliana, that idiot doesn’t know


    that you have been hiding the truth from her all this time! She had guessed at first that you had been


    responsible for the woes that befell the Pierce family, but little did she know that she wasn’t very far


    from the truth. If you had not hidden the truth from her, she would have turned her attention to me. As a


    matter of fact, we are both her enemies!”


    “Gerald, don’t you cross the line with me!”


    Maurice clenched his fists as beads of sweat ran down his face. The veins on his forehead were visible


    as he flexed his muscles.


    Noticing Maurice’s reaction, Gerald only became more arrogant.


    “Maurice, you are scared, aren’t you? Unfortunately, the only thing I never anticipated was the kids that


    you have with Eliana, and now she’s going to get married to you without the knowledge of what you


    have done. Don’t you know her parents died miserably?”


    “I said you should just shut your mouth!”


    No longer able to control his anger, Maurice pulled his hand back and mmed a heavy punch on


    Gerald’s face.


    “Gerald, just wait. I’ll make you pay for everything you have done to the Pierce family.”


    “When do you intend to do that?” Gerald asked, wiping away the blood that had formed at the corner of


    his mouth. He threw his head back andughed. “How long are you going to hide the truth from her?


    Do you intend to keep hiding the truth until the two kids are fully grown? Maurice, wake up from your


    delusion! You’re just deceiving yourself!”


    Maurice only stared at Gerald as heughed. An expression of gloom slowly appeared on his face.


    He was fully aware that everything Gerald had just said was nothing but the truth.


    “Gerald, I will only warn you for thest time. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t let Eliana find out anything.


    Or else…”


    At that moment, the words were left hanging as the door of the bathroom suddenly swung open.


    A cold female voice pierced through the awkward silence that had descended on both men.


    “It’s toote for that.”


    Eliana stepped out of the bathroom. Her face was pale and her lips were pressed tightly together. She


    began walking slowly towards them.


    Ignoring the shocked stares, she walked right to where Maurice was standing and looked straight into


    his eyes.


    “Maurice, is everything that Gerald said the truth?”


    Eliana’s eyes were empty and her voice was hoarse and distant. She looked so fragile that it appeared


    she would break down the very next minute.


    Maurice blinked rapidly. His lips trembled as he tried to find the right words. He wanted to deny it. He


    wanted to use Gerald of being a liar. He wanted to apologize and beg her to stay…


    But he couldn’t just say it. His throat was dry. It was almost as though he had lost his voice the moment


    Eliana confronted him.


    Every exnation that he could think of seemed useless given his current predicament.


    All he could do was to remain silent.


    “I see. Your silence is admittance of guilt. I finally understand.”


    The truth had finally been revealed. It had destroyed the frail happiness between the both of them.


    At that very moment, all Eliana could feel was desperation.


    She turned around calmly and started walking away mechanically.


    Maurice had never felt so flustered in his life. He subconsciously reached out his hand to grab Eliana.


    But as soon as he almost touched her, she quickly evaded him.


    “Don’t touch me. Get away from me!” Eliana’s eyes were filled with rage.


    Noticing her anger, Maurice remained rooted to spot.


    Without any hesitation, Eliana quickened her pace and continued walking.


    When she reached the kitchen door, she ran into Nancy.


    “Eliana, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look so good.”


    Eliana stopped and replied reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Moran. I have something to deal with. I’m


    leaving.” Without waiting for Nancy’s reply, Eliana quickly left her presence.


    After Eliana left, Maurice gathered some courage and went after her.


    Nancy suddenly grabbed Maurice’s hand and asked, “What happened between you and Eliana?”


    But just as Maurice was about to exin, Nancy quickly shoved him away.


    “Forget it. Get Eliana back first. I just noticed that she wasn’t looking good.”


    Stunned by Nancy’s observation, Maurice continued chasing after Eliana.


    Eliana bolted past the gate of the Moran family’s house.


    She shuddered as she stared at the empty road.


    She was in the suburbs. There were no cars on the streets. She couldn’t walk back home.


    Eliana reached for her purse, took out her cellphone, and then made a call to Nana.


    “Nana, I’m at the Moran family’s house now. Something happened. Can youe and pick me up?”


    Even though Nana wasn’t aware of what had happened, she could tell from Eliana’s hoarse voice that


    she was not in a good mood.


    “Eliana, just give me a few minutes. I’ll pick you up right away!”


    As soon as Eliana hung up the phone, she heard Maurice’s voice from behind.


    “Eliana, wait. Please don’t go.”
