Chapter 678
Chapter 678 Do Everything
For Her
For a moment, there was pin-drop silence, and the air was eerily still.
Knowing Jonathan, Maurice had already anticipated that Jonathan would demand an exorbitant price, so he was prepared for it.
No matter what Jonathan wanted, he would temporarily agree for Eliana's sake.
So he said without hesitation, "Okay, I agree."
The smile on Jonathan's face deepened. "You surprised me. I really didn't expect that you would be willing to bargain away the future of the whole Moran family for a woman related to the White family."
Maurice put away the medicine bottle properly and said indifferently, "Yes, Eliana is related to the White family. But she is also the mother of my children, and the woman I love the most in my life. I am willing to do everything for her."
Jonathan was stunned for a moment. But he soon regained his composure.
He sneered, "Okay, Mr. Moran. Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself for love, I won't stop you. Get all the documents ready. I'll come to pick them up anytime."
Jonathan had already left, but Maurice still stood there in a daze for a long time. He only moved when Corbin came to him.
As soon as Corbin approached Maurice, he asked, "Mr. Moran, are you really going to give up the park project?"
He heard Maurice and Jonathan's entire conversation just now.
Maurice closed his eyes for a while. And when he opened them again, they were full of hatred.
"I will never give up the park project. But now, Eliana's life is what matters the most."
Corbin was a little surprised. He had never seen Maurice behave like this before.
It could be seen that Eliana was really very important to Maurice. He was even willing to risk the future of the Moran family.
"You surprised me. I really didn't expect that you would be willing to bargain away the future of the whole Moran family for a woman related to the White family."
"Yes, Eliana is related to the White family. But she is also the mother of my children, and the woman I love the most in my life. I am willing to do everything for her."
Gerald pressed the pause button of the pen recorder, and the voices suddenly stopped.
Then he turned to Earle and remarked, "Dad, did you hear it? This is what your grandson has done. He is actually willing to sacrifice the entire Moran Group for the sake of a woman related to the White family."
Earle was so shocked by this astonishing fact that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It turned out that Eliana was related to the White family.
This information was not included in the data found by Aleck
At this moment, Earle finally reacted. He suddenly turned his head and shouted at the silent Aleck, "What the hell is going on?"
Before Aleck could say anything, Gerald sneered and said provocatively, "Dad, it's useless to ask him. Aleck has already been bribed by Maurice."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After saying this, he took out a bank transaction record, showing that Aleck had received a huge amount of money from an anonymous sender. And this had happened when he investigated Eliana's background.
This seemed to be irrefutable evidence, pointing to Aleck's betrayal of Earle.
So Earle got more furious. He turned to Aleck and snapped, "Aleck, how dare you betray me!"
"Mr. Moran, please believe me. I never betrayed you. I have never received this amount of money."
Aleck tried to explain, but Earle was so angry that he didn't want to listen at all.
Instead, he shouted, "Fuck off! Get out of my sight. Now!"
Aleck had been working for Earle for years, so he knew Earle very well. Now that Earle was in a fit of anger, he knew it was useless to say anything.
So he just bowed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Moran, it's my fault that I didn't tell you the truth about it. But you have to believe me. I will never betray you. Whatever happens, my loyalty is to you. I'll go outside first. I'll come back after you calm down."
After saying this, Aleck stooped and walked out of the living room.
Earle looked at Aleck's receding back. He was so angry that his hands trembled slightly.
Gerald saw all this, and he was secretly happy. But he pretended to be sad. "Dad, if we let Maurice go on like this, he will destroy the entire Moran family sooner or later. Eliana is related to the White family. We definitely can't allow her to marry into the Moran family. Dad, don't forget. The White family might have something to do with my brother's death."
As soon as Gerald mentioned Blair, Earle was reminded of what happened back then.
When Blair died, all clues showed that his death was not < accidental.
At that time, he began to suspect if their rival, the White family, had something to do with it.
Gerald had been observing Earle's reaction. And when he saw that Earle seemed to agree with what he said, he was ecstatic.
Actually, after he killed Blair back then, he deliberately created some evidence to point to the White family and let them take the blame for him. In this way, no one would suspect him.
He didn't expect that Eliana was related to the White family. He now realized that his plan at that time was really good. It would kill two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, Earle had fallen into the trap Gerald had set up for him, and he was getting deeper and deeper into it.
He said, "Gerald, Maurice has been completely bewitched by Eliana. This can't go on like this. Although Eliana is related to the White family, the twins are the grandchildren of our Moran family. I must keep them. But as for her... She can't marry into our family."
