The Ring Was In Her Hands
As he watched Eliana walk away, Maurice thought about what she was about to say just now.Did she
not have the ring? But even then, she must know something-a clue of some sort.
All of a sudden, a burst of applause echoed from behind him.
Wyatt walked over gloatingly, clapping his hands loudly.
With a sigh, he said, "Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined Mr.Moran would be
abandoned by a woman.Today will be a day to remember…"
Maurice looked at him coldly, which sent a shiver down his spine.
Wyatt changed the topic quickly.
"If you can’t get Eliana to talk, I doubt you’ll find the ring before Gerald.His men are also looking for it."
"Don’t worry.He’s no threat to me,"
Maurice sneered indifferently.
According to Corbin’s report, while Gerald was indeed looking for the ring, his search was aimless and
without direction.
Wyatt shrugged.
"But you still need to move fast.Eliana’s right in front of you.Don’t wait until she’s gone."
Maurice’s expression darkened.
Eliana was ever elusive.
For some reason, it was more difficult to deal with that woman than it was to deal with business worth
hundreds of millions of dollars.It was late when Eliana and Nana returned home.
Eliana couldn’t put off Nana’s questioning and told her everything that had happened between her and
Maurice and Preston these days.
Nana’s eyes twinkled with interest.
"Your love life is even more colorful than when you were abroad," she sighed wistfully, Eliana rolled her
eyes.
"Relax.I don’t have any feelings for either of them."
But Nana smiled at her knowingly and took her arm.
"Although Preston is Adrian and Aileen’s biological father, he’s just a gigolo.He has neither a bright
future nor loyalty.I think you should focus on Maurice.Not only is he the head of the Moran Group, he
sounds like a decent man who doesn’t have any scandals…"
Eliana interrupted Nana and sneered.
Maurice? A decent man who didn’t have any scandals? The man who had held her waist without
scruples and forced a kiss on her? Plus, he had something going on with Evelynn…
"What kind of a reaction is that?"
Narrowing her eyes at Eliana, Nana poked her cheek with her finger.
"Are you in love with Maurice?"
"What?! No!"
Eliana swatted her finger away and frowned.
"I don’t like either of them.Adrian and Aileen are mine.They have nothing to do with Preston.On the
other hand, Maurice is just my boss.Nana, stop drawing such baseless conclusions."
"Alright, alright.I won’t bring it up again."
Tired of Eliana’s nagging, Nana closed her eyes and pressed her fingers against her temple.
Then she picked up a photo album and tried to change the topic.
"Is this from the kindergarten?"
"Yeah, they sent over photos of activities they had for the kids."
Nana leafed through the album, looking at the photos of Adrian and Aileen.She couldn’t help but giggle.
"The twins are too cute.I want to whisk them away with me."
"You wish!"
Smiling, Eliana flicked Nana’s forehead playfully.
Nana suddenly exclaimed and pointed at a photo.
"No wonder the tuition is expensive.The toy look so good."
In the photo, Aileen was wearing a cute bun on her head.She was winking at the camera adorably.
A ring that was too big for her was on her little finger.
The unique design of the ring drew Eliana’s attention at once.
But the next moment, her eyes widened.
"This…"
Eliana grabbed the photo album in disbelief.
Upon a closer look at the photo, she realized that Aileen was wearing the ring that Preston had lost five
years ago.
So, was the ring with Aileen this whole time? Only then did Eliana recall how Aileen had mentioned that
she would take a beautiful ring to the kindergarten’s show-and-tell.
Eliana had thought it was a candy ring, so she didn’t give it much thought.It had never occurred to her
that Aileen was talking about this ring—that was, until now.
The following day, Kimora cooked breakfast early in the morning.
The kids got dressed on their own and sat at the dining table to have breakfast.
