Ch. 126..130: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 126-130

Chapter 126

Bradly had made dinner a reservation at a five-star restaurant, which had brightly lit hallways, and crystal chandeliers.

All the employees from the Design Department gathered around a round table with a diameter of three meters. As the host of the dinner, Bradly stood up with a glass of red wine to make a toast.

“Tonight, I’m glad to have you all here on my farewell dinner, and I would like to propose a toast to Eliana first.”

He then raised his glass, looking at Eliana, and continued, “Eliana, the happiest thing I experienced was to see you again after returning home, so cheers to that!”

Surprised and flattered, Eliana also stood up and raised her glass. “I was also glad to see you again, Bradly.”

Bradly then lifted his glass to his lips and drank the wine, concealing the tears that were welling up in his eyes.

“Unfortunately, we always keep missing each other. Do you really believe that we’re not meant to be?”

The wine was not strong. It was Bradly, who was too sad and expressed the deepest regrets in his heart.

Eliana met his eyes for just a moment and sensed the deep sadness in them. She would be lying if she said that she was not moved by his gesture.

However, she knew well that they could never be lovers.

After all, love was unpredictable and unreasonable.

She believed and hoped that Bradly would find his true love some day, and that she would be able to bless them from a distance.

Noticing the eye contact between them, the others felt like that they both had feelings for each other, and that they could be together if they wanted.

The dining room fell silent, and the employees were quietly spilling the tea when a sudden voice interrupted them.

“Mr. Stewart, you are too self-deprecating. We should thank you for taking care of Eliana,” Wyatt, who was pretending to be Preston, finally said.

However, he did not actually mean it that way. To him, it felt like a great opportunity to see his close friend’s woman being snatched away from him at a close distance.

But he also knew that if he did not do something right away, then he might not be alive the next morning.

The spy camera on his collar was still on, and Maurice was watching his every move through the computer screen on high-definition, which he found to be annoying.

“She’s bad at drinking, so I will drink instead of her.”

Saying that, Wyatt grabbed Eliana’s glass and finished it.

“By the way, I’d also like to propose a toast to you.”

Picking up the wine glass again, Wyatt filled it and shook it provocatively in front of Bradly.

Bradly felt a bitterness in his mouth, but he was determined to be willful.

He quickly poured himself a glass and gulped it down.

Everyone at the table could see that the men were fighting over Eliana.

“Bradly, stop drinking.” Eliana tried to stop him.

She knew that it would be impossible for him to compete with Preston, who worked at a nightclub.

Wyatt would not let her achieve her purpose and began to heckle, “Mr. Stewart, you’re really straightforward! I shall risk my life to drink with you today!”

Although it was supposed to be a farewell dinner, the men began drinking uncontrollably.

However, the result was not surprising at all as Bradly lost.

When Eliana noticed his face turn red and the distant look in his eyes, she knew that she couldn’t let them continue.

The moment Wyatt poured another glass, she snatched it from him.

“Preston, behave yourself.”

However, she did not expect to splash the wine on him, staining his expensive coat.

And that was enough to make them stop competing.

While Wyatt was tidying up his clothes, Bradly rushed to the toilet.

Eliana watched his receding figure with a concerned look.

“You’ve gone too far.”

Wyatt removed his dirty coat, revealing a black shirt underneath, which made him look more dashing. Even after he had drunk so much, his expression did not change even a little.

“Don’t you understand? If you want him to give up, then we need to do this. He will only let go of you if you cause him enough pain. Or else what’s even the point of asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend?”

Eliana felt like she was looking at a completely different man now, and not the Preston she remembered.

Unveiling his indifferent self, Wyatt looked at her. His deep eyes were like the quiet ocean, waiting to drag her in and bury her.

For some reason, an inexplicable sense of sadness rose in her heart when she looked at him…

After a moment of silence, Eliana asked, “Have you ever been hurt in love?”

Chapter 127

Wyatt, who was pretending to be Preston, was perplexed for a moment before bursting out laughing.

“Haha, what are you thinking about? Don’t worry, you’re the only girl in my life.”

He then grinned cheekily once more. The sad Preston disappeared.

Was she imagining things?

Eliana found herself more and more confused about the man. What had happened to him?

“Take a seat. I’m going to clean my coat.”

Preston then stood up and walked away, carrying his coat in his arms. Eliana felt he now seemed more flustered than Bradly.

The private dining room began to flare up again as soon as the fake Preston and Bradly left.

“Eliana, tell me the truth. What’s your relationship with Mr. Stewart?” one of her colleagues asked, gossiping.

“He was my senior back in university,” Eliana explained.

“Senior? It’s impossible that your connection with him ends there. He looked at you so affectionately.”

“You’re just exaggerating.”

“By the way, what does your boyfriend do? He looks very wealthy.”

Everyone gathered around her, trying to gossip. Eliana couldn’t take it any longer.

“Ah! Why hasn’t my boyfriend returned yet? He might have lost his way. I’ll go look for him.”

Eliana abruptly stood up and dashed out of the room as quickly as she could.

Meanwhile, Wyatt went to the balcony by himself to get some fresh air. He silently watched the cars on the street. No one could tell what he was thinking.

“You should go back there now.” Maurice’s voice broke the silence on the balcony.

Wyatt chuckled. “Why? What’s wrong? Don’t worry, I won’t give myself away. It’s almost over. Don’t get too worked up.”

“Anyway, don’t make matters worse. Go back as soon as possible. Don’t forget that Eliana is very shrewd.”

“I know.”

Wyatt shook his head, convinced that Maurice had fallen madly in love with Eliana.

He turned around and was about to go back to the private dining room when he noticed a familiar figure.

A curvaceous, sexy woman, wearing a wine-red velvet strappy dress and sunglasses, stood in another corner of the balcony.

The woman leaned against the wall, a cigarette in between her slender fingers. Her red lips parted as she exhaled the smoke, which blurred her outline. She looked debauched and very appealing.

Wyatt recognized the woman at a glance, despite the smoke and sunglasses.

It was Nicole.

He would never, ever forget her.

Nicole, sneaking out for a smoke, had just finished another cigarette. When she took another stick and was about to smoke again, the lighter didn’t work.

‘Dammit! Why isn’t everything going swimmingly today?’

Nicole, who was now irritated, raised her head and met Wyatt’s eyes.

Wyatt took a step back subconsciously.

Nicole, on the other hand, approached him nonchalantly. In an instant, all Wyatt could see was the stunning woman in front of him.

Nicole stood in front of him, holding a cigarette in her hand.

“Hey, sir, do you have a light?”

It seemed that she didn’t know him.

Wyatt went into a trance for a brief moment. He then remembered that he was pretending to be Preston now, wearing an elaborate mask. It was impossible for Nicole to recognize him.

He couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry at that point.

But when did Nicole begin smoking?

Wyatt frowned. But he still took out a lighter and lit her cigarette.

“Thank you,” Nicole said perfunctorily.

She took a puff on her cigarette and looked more relaxed.

“Are you Nicole Swift?”

It seemed that the man knew her.

Nicole blew out smoke rings before asking, “So what? You are free to tell the press anything about me. Of course, you can request the hush money from my agent. He is extremely generous.”

Wyatt became enraged when he heard her indifferent tone. He had been simmering with anger since Nicole had abandoned him.

“What are you doing?” Through the camera, Maurice sensed something strange about Wyatt.

Wyatt had already forgotten that he still had to pretend to be Preston at this point. He turned off the camera and hung up the phone.

He raised his brows and inquired, “Are you wealthy?”

“Sort of.” Nicole chuckled.

“Then I want… 5 million.”

Nicole once got $5 million from him and abandoned him coldly in a hospital right after.

He was going to take it back now.

Chapter 128

Nicole was taken aback when she heard the amount.

A face from deep within her memory flashed through her mind.

Wyatt!

Nicole almost lost her cool, staring at the man in front of her.

No! He was not Wyatt.

Nicole lowered her gaze with mixed emotions.

She just realized that, after all these years, she was not as strong as she thought. She could be easily affected by him.

She quickly suppressed her surging emotions and forced a mocking smile.

“How dare you ask for an exorbitant price? Five million dollars is too much. It’s enough to buy a person’s life!”

Now it was Wyatt’s turn to be taken aback. Nicole’s tone gave him the impression that deep inside, she was mocking herself.

Nicole threw the cigarette to the ground, crushed the last spark with her high heels, and turned around, leaving without hesitation. Her face was void of any emotion.

“Don’t be greedy. If you dare mention five million dollars again, I’ll call the cops.”

Nicole’s figure gradually faded from Wyatt’s view, just as it had before. She just walked away from him without saying anything.

Memories washed over Wyatt’s mind like a flood. The surge of emotions made it hard for him to breathe.

At the same time, Eliana, who had rushed out of the private room, was still looking for Preston everywhere.

‘Where on earth did Preston go? Did he get lost?’

Eliana anxiously took out her phone to call him.

The call was connected immediately.

“Preston, you… hmmp…”

All of a sudden, a pair of big hands covered Eliana’s mouth from behind. She was already drugged and passed out before she could even struggle.

The phone slipped from her grasp and landed with a thud on the floor.

Before she lost consciousness, she was still able to murmur something. “Preston…”

“Eliana! Eliana! What happened to you? Answer me!”

Maurice abruptly stood up from his seat and shouted Eliana’s name, but he received no response.

“Mr. Moran, what’s wrong?” Corbin asked, perplexed.

“Something bad happened to Eliana…”

“What?” Corbin couldn’t help but raise his voice. His eyes were wide open in shock.

The blue veins on Maurice’s forehead became very visible. He clutched the phone so tightly that it seemed like he wanted to crush it.

‘Damn it!’ He was so frustrated that he couldn’t contact Wyatt.

What should he do?

Maurice had never been so agitated. Even in the most dangerous situations, he had never been upset. But not this time.

He had to look for Eliana.

He couldn’t care less about anything else. He rushed out of the house, and Corbin immediately followed him. They used Maurice’s fastest supercar and headed to the restaurant where Eliana had been earlier.

He hoped that Eliana was still there.

Meanwhile, an unremarkable minibus sped through the night towards the city’s most secluded corner, where criminals were hiding.

Eliana woke up in a daze because of the bumps. Her surroundings were in complete darkness. Her mouth was stuffed with cloth, and her hands and feet were tied up. She was immobilized.

She gradually came to her senses and realized that she had been kidnapped.

The atmosphere around her was stuffy. She was clearly wrapped in a sack, and she felt the jolt. She thought that she was probably in a moving vehicle.

Who kidnapped her? Where were they taking her?

Eliana became agitated at the thought of these things and tried her best to break free.

However, an unbearable heat emanated from her body, as if her heart had caught fire. She was going to lose her marbles.

That feeling was particularly familiar…

Damn it! She’d been drugged yet again!

Why were they doing this to her? Eliana felt so helpless.

The minibus came to a halt not long after. The trunk was opened, allowing light to enter. Eliana could make out several blurred figures reaching for the sack.

She struggled with all her might, but the men who had apprehended her had obviously no mercy for her. One of them carried her on his shoulder with brute force.

She was dragged into a dark room and thrown to the floor.

She groaned in excruciating pain.

“Open it for me.”

A familiar female voice broke the silence in the room.

When the sack was opened, Eliana struggled to poke her head out and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The next thing she saw was a familiar face in front of her.

It was Evelynn.

Chapter 129

Her once again?

Eliana’s eyes widened since she was in such a state of shock.

Evelynn stood in the center of the room, staring down at Eliana, with two muscular guys standing on each side of her.

There was a noticeable difference in Evelynn’s demeanor from the morning. Instead, she had a strange and erratic grin.

It felt as if she was ready to rip Eliana apart as she glared at her with a terrifying look.

“Eliana, you ruined the Jarvis family; therefore now I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine!”

Evelynn squatted down in front of Eliana and looked at her. Then, with a fierce grin, she yanked the cloth from her mouth. “The two guys standing behind me are presents that I’ve hand-picked just for you. There are a lot of cameras in here. Later, you may let them play with you.”

Eliana’s pupils constricted as soon as she heard it. She looked at Evelynn, amazed, and said, “Honestly, Evelynn, you’re a lunatic! Maurice is the one who brought the Jarvis family to its knees. You should take revenge on him, instead of me. If you let your rage out on me, you’ll simply seem more pitiful as a result.”

“Will you shut up?” Evelynn lost her cool and smacked Eliana across the face all of a sudden.

Eliana’s head tilted as she felt the slap’s force and her face ached.

In a word, Evelynn was bonkers, to say the least. It was up to Eliana to figure out a means to escape. Regardless of whether or not she was able to escape, she needed to bide her time until Preston arrived to help her.

Eliana had no doubt that Preston would discover something unusual and rush to her aid.

As the cold perspiration streamed from her brow, it exacerbated the anguish of her facial wound!

What would be the smartest move to make then?

Speaking of which…

“Evelynn, please stop. If you harm me, Maurice will not let you go. You said that Maurice destroyed the Jarvis family in my favor, did you not? You’re familiar with him. The only way you’ll get away with kidnapping if he knows about it will be much worse than what you do now.”

Eliana made every effort to explain that in a calm manner.

Evelynn’s angry look froze that very instant. Her awareness of Maurice’s cruelty was unmistakable. He had a profound impact on the world of business. Even if she didn’t die, she’d be skinned if he caught her.

Would Maurice still desire Eliana if she got raped by some other people?

Evelynn said mockingly, “Eliana, don’t try to fool me. After you are raped, I will send the film to the Moran family for them to enjoy. There is a good chance that you won’t be able to get into the Moran family by any means… Damn!”

Eliana slammed her to the floor before she could complete her sentence.

Eliana had been patiently waiting for this opportunity!

Eliana had gently undone the rope around her feet while they were talking just now. She used every ounce of power she had just gathered to knock Evelynn to the floor and dash for the door.

“Do you feel the need to flee? The sky’s the limit!”

The two men surged forward and yanked Eliana’s hair back.

In the midst of Eliana’s despair, Evelynn left the room and shut the door behind her.

She smirked as if she had predicted Eliana’s awful demise.

A guy stood in her path as his shadow fell over her.

Maurice disguised himself as Preston by wearing a mask.

“Where are you keeping Eliana?”

Could he have come here for Eliana?

“First, who could you be?” Evelynn asked.

“According to the camera footage, Eliana was brought to the abandoned house at 68.”

Corbin abruptly hung up the phone and informed Maurice of the situation.

Evelynn was taken aback by the familiarity of the voice she recognized. It was Corbin’s!

Why was Maurice’s assistant with this odd man?

Who was he, anyway?

Evelynn was in a state of utter disorientation.

Maurice was pressed for time and did not care if he would reveal his true identity at this point. He walked up to Evelynn in a rage.

“Was it you?”

Evelynn shuddered and retreated when she saw the guy in front of her with a commanding attitude.

This man was dreadful!

Evelynn was reminded of someone by his savage gaze.

Who else if not Maurice?

“What are you doing? Leave me alone!”

The next instant, with her eyes wide open, Evelynn was pulled by Maurice to the door of the abandoned house at 68.

A hard assault from Maurice landed Evelynn on the floor. He was even more enraged by her contorted expression of anguish.

Evelynn repeatedly attempted to hurt Eliana. It seemed as though she was playing poker with death.

He was going to really torment her this time.

Eliana was compelled to the window of the abandoned house. The two males with filthy grins approached her.

She was unable to flee.

The locked door was pounded open with a resounding thud.

In an instant, Eliana’s tense nerves were strained to breaking point, and she couldn’t help but lean back.

Chapter 130

As soon as Maurice pushed the door open, the terrible scene in front of him was startling.

Two men were forcing Eliana to the window, and she was about to fall down.

Seeing that, Maurice immediately rushed forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her back.

He then punched the men so hard that they instantly fell to the floor.

‘Thank God, I got here in time!’

Maurice felt relieved.

Eliana could clearly hear the sound of their racing hearts as she lay in his arm.

‘I… Am I safe now?’

She was dizzy, but she looked up and saw Preston.

For a second, she could not tell what was making her heart race. Was it the shock, or was it the man in front of her eyes?

However, she knew that she would be safe as long as he was there with her.

So Eliana passed out at ease.

“Eliana, Eliana!”

Maurice gently shook her. But Eliana didn’t open her eyes.

So he had no choice but to carry her in his arms.

By then, the bodyguards rushed into the room and subdued the two men and Evelynn.

“Listen up! No matter what Evelynn asks you to do to Eliana, I want you to do it to Evelynn,” Maurice ordered the men on the floor coldly.

“No! You can’t hurt me. I’m from the Jarvis family. If you hurt me, then you will face a miserable end! I will ask my dad to kill you!”

Evelynn kept screaming and roaring while the bodyguards stopped her struggle.

The men were hesitant. Although the Jarvis family fell into decline, the Jarvis family could still easily kill them if they wanted to, so they could not afford to offend the Jarvis family.

Figuring out what the men were thinking, Maurice sneered.

“If you don’t do it, then I will castrate you. Believe it or not, I can think of numerous ways to turn your lives into a living hell!”

His words terrified them, and the men could tell that he was not playing around. If they even dared to offend this man, then he would make them wish that they had offended the Jarvis family instead.

“Okay! We’ll do as you ask.” Gritting their teeth, the men nodded in response.

Besides, they were going to die anyway, so they thought that it might be better if they enjoyed themselves a little before they died. After all, they had never slept with such a beautiful woman before.

Maurice signaled the bodyguards to let go of the men and Evelynn.

One of the men stood up and walked towards Evelynn, who seemed to be in great despair. She tried to crawl away from them, but the man grabbed her leg and dragged her back ruthlessly.

“No! Help, help…” She kept screaming desperately, but no one came to save her.

Just a moment ago, she had been the perpetrator, and now, she was the victim.

Maurice did not want to see what was going to happen to her, so he left and put the unconscious Eliana in the car, intending to drive her to the hospital.

Eliana woke up on their way to the hospital and sensed her body burning from the effects of the drug.

The heat in her body was too overwhelming, so she unconsciously reached out her hand to touch the man beside her.

Feeling her soft hands caressing his body, Maurice was instantly aroused and couldn’t help but breathe heavily.

He could not concentrate on driving at all.

“Behave yourself!”

His warning was futile at best.

“Where… Where are we going?”

Eliana froze for a moment when she heard the familiar voice.

“I’ll take you home,” Maurice answered flatly and drove to a small house in the suburb.

Eliana was feeling dizzy from the drugs, and the moment she got out of the car, she couldn’t control her desire. Maurice was also turned on by her, even though he appeared to be calm.

He walked straight into the bathroom that was inside the master bedroom, carrying Eliana in his arms.

He then put her down in the bathtub. The moment he turned on the shower, the cold water poured out, drenching her.
