When Asher ran outside, he witnessed the pair together, and his eyes widened in anger.
“Don’t you dare touch her!”
With his heart filled with rage, Asher charged at Maurice with his fist.
Maurice’s quick reflexes caught his attacker by surprise. He ducked effortlessly and grabbed Asher’s
fist tightly. The immense pressure of Maurice’s grip was unbearable, causing Asher to cry out in pain.
“You’re looking for a fight? You got it.”
So much anger coursed through Maurice’s veins that he needed an outlet to release it. To his delight,
he found one in Asher.
Although Maurice’s left arm had just recovered, he was still strong enough to overpower ten grown
men.
“That’s enough!”
Eliana couldn’t stand it anymore. She needed to step in before all hell could break loose.
When Maurice was about to throw a punch of his own, Eliana got in the way and slapped Asher’s face.
Eliana immediately followed it up with a devastating kick and knocked him to the floor.
“Snap out of it, Asher! Learn to take responsibility and don’t blame others for problems that come your
way. When the Harrison family was going bankrupt, you blamed Erica for spending too much money.
Now that the Harrison Group had shut down, you said that Maurice was behind the company’s
downfall. When will you admit to your mistakes and take the blame for once?”
Asher sat motionless on the floor, looking weary and confused.
“But Eliana… I don’t think…”
Asher wanted to retort, but he knew deep within that Eliana was right. He always wanted to escape
from the consequences of his actions. But he couldn’t keep on running from his mistakes forever.
Sooner or later, reality was going to catch up with him, and he would have no choice but to pay the
price.
“We have nothing left to talk about. I’ve already said my piece. Behave yourself from now on.”
After taking one last glance at Asher, Eliana held Maurice’s arm and pulled him away.
Outside the Imperial Golden Club, Corbin was waiting for them by the car.
When Eliana opened the back door of the luxury vehicle, Maurice suddenly stopped her from entering.
“Go sit in the front.”
Eliana stared back at him in confusion.
Then Maurice turned to Corbin and said, “I’ll drive today. You can head back to the office and finish
your work.”
“Are you sure, boss? Alright then.”
With a puzzled look on his face, Corbin gave up the driver’s seat and left the area.
Something felt wrong. Eliana sensed that things were about to take a turn for the worse.
She reluctantly sat on the front passenger seat under Maurice’s oppressive gaze.
As all the doors were shut, the atmosphere in the car became depressing.
Maurice leaned back against the seat and sighed. “Why did you get in the way, Eliana?”
“What do you mean?”
Pretending not to understand, Eliana clenched her clothes nervously. She was bracing herself for his
eventual outburst.
Maurice turned his head and stared at Eliana quietly as if he was reading her innermost thoughts.
He knew that Eliana was actually looking out for Asher even though she made it seem that she hurt
him.
If Maurice had gotten his way with Asher, then the stubborn fool would have ended up with a severe
beating of a lifetime.
“You protected him.”
Within seconds, a guilty expression broke out on Eliana’s face. She quickly refuted his statement. “Of
course not! I’ve always wanted to beat up that scum ever since. He deserved it.”
But it was far too late. Maurice had already seen through her.
It was true that Eliana felt it right that Asher got his ass kicked. But she could not ignore the fact that
Maurice could determine the life and death of an enterprise. Not only Asher’s future was destroyed, but
also countless families were severely affected, just like what happened to the Pierce Group back then.
Eliana suddenly fell silent, lost in her thoughts.
It was clear that she lied.
This woman not only lied to him but also was distracted. It seemed that he was not important to her at
all.
Maurice closed his eyes to conceal the mounting fury in them, trying to keep his temper in check. The
next second, he pressed the lock button.
With a click, the car doors were locked instantly.
The sound brought Eliana back to reality. Realizing that she was trapped inside with a madman, she
tried to push the door open with all her might, but to no avail.
“Maurice, what has gotten into you? What are you going to do to me?”
To her utter dismay, Maurice didn’t say a word. Instead, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped
away.
