: No More Cooperation With The Jarvis Family
Maurice's words were straightforward and his affection towards Eliana was too obvious.
Stunned, Eliana felt her heart race.
The others also fell silent.
Then he wrapped his arms around her waist intimately.
"Actually...I fell in love with her from the moment I first saw her, so I always tried to win her over in the
best way I could.But to my surprise, she was indifferent to money, unlike other women.Gradually, I
found many more good things about her.Her kindness and enthusiasm, as well as her talent in design
made me grow increasingly fond of her."
His low and gentle voice was like opium, bewitching her and putting her in a trance.However, she could
not tell if he was just lying to them or not.
Looking affectionately into her eyes, Maurice leaned closer and gently kissed her on the lips.
Eliana was stunned.Her heart told her that she should push him away, but her body could not move.
Maurice's kiss was unprecedentedly gentle.His clean, warm breath flowed into her mouth like sweet
addictive honey.
Seeing that, Evelynn became furious and was about to stand up, but Melanie stopped her.
Melanie knew that it would only impact the friendship between the families if Evelynn continued to
pester Maurice.
Even though neither of them were willing to accept it, the truth was that their plan completely failed.
Maurice let go of Eliana, and could not help smiling when he saw her in a daze from the kiss.
However, in the blink of an eye, his expression darkened again.
Looking at Evelynn and Melanie, he said in a cold voice, "Don't invite us to dinner if you have such evil
intentions.The Moran Group won't cooperate with the Jarvis family anymore.Take care of yourselves."
Melanie and Evelynn were horrified.
They never thought that their plan would ruin their companies’ long term cooperation.
With an apologetic expression, Maurice turned to Nancy and added, "l am sorry, Grandma.We'll be
leaving now."
"Go ahead," Nancy replied with a warm smile.
Maurice left the private dining room with Eliana.
Melanie watched them leave in a daze.Her heart was burning with rage and she did not come to her
senses for a long time.
A few minutes later, she hissed, "Mrs.Moran, shouldn't you explain on your grandson's behalf? How
can he humiliate us like this?"
"Well..."
Nancy was still thinking about Maurice and Eliana’s kiss.
"Maurice did a good job, and I am really proud of him for acting so responsibly.He seems to have really
fallen for Eliana, and I have never seen him love someone so deeply ever since his childhood," Nancy
said with a serious nod.
Melanie was rendered speechless.
How could Nancy think so strangely?
"Evelynn."
Nancy turned to Evelynn with a reproachful look.
"Tell me the truth, did you prepare the dinner just to humiliate Eliana? And the pink diamond that you
mentioned earlier...You deliberately acquired it just to make things harder for Eliana, right?"
"I..."
Eliana wanted to explain, but looking at Nancy's sharp eyes, she began choking on her words.
Sobbing, she said, "Mrs.Moran, I really love Maurice.Eliana doesn't deserve him at all.I did what I did
for him..."
Nancy interrupted her with a sigh of disappointment and a wave of her hand.
"Love is something that is between two people.Neither you, nor your family has the right to tell my
grandson which woman to love."
With that, Nancy walked out of the dining room.
Subconsciously, Evelynn tried to help her, but Nancy refused.
"Don't bother see me off.Just like Maurice said, our families have nothing to do with each other
anymore."
"Mrs.Moran!" Evelynn was desperate.
The old lady left decisively, ignoring her.
