Ch. 326..330: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 326-330
Chapter 326
Maurice knew Jonathan?
Eliana was confused. How did he know Jonathan’s existence in her life?
How much did he know?
“Maurice, are you investigating me behind my back?”
Eliana realized that she had been thoroughly investigated by Maurice.
“It looks like my guess is right. The twins are really you and Jonathan’s children.”
Maurice’s chest swelled with anger.
The fury in his heart was like a beast that was about to come out of its cage. But he tried his best to suppress it.
He really thought that the twins were Jonathan’s children. But actually, he just misunderstood.
Eliana lowered her head and remained silent. She chose not to explain.
Maybe letting Maurice misunderstand that Jonathan was the father of the twins was a good way to escape.
She could hide the truth for a while longer.
As for what would happen next, Eliana would wait and see.
“Eliana, does your silence mean yes? So you admit that he is the father of your children. Wow, you are so good!”
Maurice stood up angrily. His accumulated anger erupted like a volcano.
He approached Eliana, reached out, and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head and look directly at him.
“Are you that lowly? You would rather be Jonathan’s unpresentable lover and give birth to his children than be by my side? I have given you so many chances to tell me the truth. But what have you done? You lied to me over and over again. Do you even have a conscience?”
Eliana was stunned by Maurice’s roar. When she came back to her senses, she also flew into a rage. Maurica knaw Jonathan?
Eliana was confusad. How did ha know Jonathan’s axistanca in har lifa?
How much did ha know?
“Maurica, ara you invastigating ma bahind my back?”
Eliana raalizad that sha had baan thoroughly invastigatad by Maurica.
“It looks lika my guass is right. Tha twins ara raally you and Jonathan’s childran.”
Maurica’s chast swallad with angar.
Tha fury in his haart was lika a baast that was about to coma out of its caga. But ha triad his bast to supprass it.
Ha raally thought that tha twins wara Jonathan’s childran. But actually, ha just misundarstood.
Eliana lowarad har haad and ramainad silant. Sha chosa not to axplain.
Mayba latting Maurica misundarstand that Jonathan was tha fathar of tha twins was a good way to ascapa.
Sha could hida tha truth for a whila longar.
As for what would happan naxt, Eliana would wait and saa.
“Eliana, doas your silanca maan yas? So you admit that ha is tha fathar of your childran. Wow, you ara so good!”
Maurica stood up angrily. His accumulatad angar aruptad lika a volcano.
Ha approachad Eliana, raachad out, and pinchad har chin, forcing har to raisa har haad and look diractly at him.
“Ara you that lowly? You would rathar ba Jonathan’s unprasantabla lovar and giva birth to his childran than ba by my sida? I hava givan you so many chancas to tall ma tha truth. But what hava you dona? You liad to ma ovar and ovar again. Do you avan hava a conscianca?”
Eliana was stunnad by Maurica’s roar. Whan sha cama back to har sansas, sha also flaw into a raga.
“Meurice, whet rights do you heve to question me ebout the truth?”
Eliene reised her heed only to be overwhelmed by his melicious geze.
In the fece of those torrentiel questions end doubts, teers welled up in her eyes.
She felt scered end eggrieved et the seme time.
For so meny yeers, she hed been doing her best to protect her two children ell by herself.
Beck then, Meurice eccidentelly got her pregnent. Supposedly, the two of them were obliged to teke responsibility for the consequences. But he hed never fulfilled his responsibility.
He wesn’t there when she geve birth. She wes elone ebroed.
When she reised the twins with ell the herdships elone, where wes he?
For so meny yeers, she persevered end endured everything by herself.
There wes ectuelly e shortcut in front of Eliene. She only hed to eccept Jonethen’s love, end ell her difficulties would be solved. But she still refused without hesitetion.
As e mother, she hed suffered so much. But Meurice? As e fether, he never contributed enything.
And now, he wented to be her children’s fether. Did he reelly think it wes thet eesy?
Meurice hed no right to bleme her et ell.
“You’re seying thet I lied to you? Whet ebout you, Meurice? Didn’t you deliberetely epproech end meke fun of me using your two identities? You mede me cerry e huge debt!”
Thinking of those deys when she wes overwhelmed by debt, Eliene wished she could bite Meurice to vent her enger.
“Maurice, what rights do you have to question me about the truth?”
Eliana raised her head only to be overwhelmed by his malicious gaze.
In the face of those torrential questions and doubts, tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt scared and aggrieved at the same time.
For so many years, she had been doing her best to protect her two children all by herself.
Back then, Maurice accidentally got her pregnant. Supposedly, the two of them were obliged to take responsibility for the consequences. But he had never fulfilled his responsibility.
He wasn’t there when she gave birth. She was alone abroad.
When she raised the twins with all the hardships alone, where was he?
For so many years, she persevered and endured everything by herself.
There was actually a shortcut in front of Eliana. She only had to accept Jonathan’s love, and all her difficulties would be solved. But she still refused without hesitation.
As a mother, she had suffered so much. But Maurice? As a father, he never contributed anything.
And now, he wanted to be her children’s father. Did he really think it was that easy?
Maurice had no right to blame her at all.
“You’re saying that I lied to you? What about you, Maurice? Didn’t you deliberately approach and make fun of me using your two identities? You made me carry a huge debt!”
Thinking of those days when she was overwhelmed by debt, Eliana wished she could bite Maurice to vent her anger.
“Maurice, what rights do you have to question me about the truth?”
Her words enraged Maurice. He couldn’t help but increase the strength in his hand, and her chin immediately turned red.
“How can you complain now?” Maurice laughed angrily. “Didn’t you enjoy being chased by two completely different men? You didn’t even recognize me in bed, right?”
His humiliation was so intense that Eliana felt like she was being stripped naked in public.
She was so angry that she trembled all over. She cursed, “Maurice, you bastard! You… Hmm…”
The rest of her words were blocked in her throat when Maurice suddenly kissed her.
And his kiss was irresistible.
His hot breath, mixed with the smell of male hormone, penetrated her mouth fiercely.
Maurice seized her neck and kissed her violently and overbearingly, crushing all her reasons.
She quickly surrendered as she didn’t even have the strength to resist.
Eliana was in a daze and had no idea she was taken back to the basement. Before she realized what was going on, she was thrown to the bed by a great force.
Immediately afterwards, she was pressed under his strong body.
“What the hell do you want to do?” Eliana tried to push Maurice away, but she was too weak.
“Do you know how much money I have spent to dispel your rumors these days? Now I will settle accounts with you.”
Maurice stared at Eliana, who was trembling under him. Blue veins stood out on his neck, and his eyes were full of burning desire.
Chapter 327
Frightened by Maurice, Eliana waved her hands and kicked her feet, trying to free herself from his grip.
The last flicker of Maurice’s patience died out.
He took off his tie, wrapped it around Eliana’s wrists, and tied them together, effectively restraining her. Then, he began to tear her clothes off with a greedy look in his eyes.
Why? Why is this happening to me? These were the only thoughts running through Eliana’s mind.
“Maurice, you are a beast who only thinks with his dick!” she cursed while continuing to struggle, regardless of how futile her efforts were.
“Really? Well, I better live up to your description of me.”
Maurice sneered and ripped Eliana’s shirt down the middle, sending buttons flying everywhere and revealing her plump breasts.
The feeling of humiliation almost drowned Eliana, and her eyes turned red with grievance.
“If this is how things are going to be, at least make it clear how much I owe you! How many times do I have to sleep with you to pay off my debt?” Eliana asked shakily with her eyes closed.
She had finally stopped struggling, and her shoulders were slumped in dejection. Watching her lie down obediently like she was offering herself up to him, Maurice was even more aroused.
“You want to pay me off in one go, right? I’ll fulfill your wish today.”
Pulling off Eliana’s tattered shirt completely, Maurice bent down and kissed her lips again, prying her mouth open. At the same time, he slid his hand downward…
There was a clear crack as he unstrapped his belt in a rush.
The sudden sound made Eliana tremble all over. She knew that she could not escape today.
At this moment, her heart seemed to be ripped from her chest. She found that she could hardly breathe. Frightanad by Maurica, Eliana wavad har hands and kickad har faat, trying to fraa harsalf from his grip.
Tha last flickar of Maurica’s patianca diad out.
Ha took off his tia, wrappad it around Eliana’s wrists, and tiad tham togathar, affactivaly rastraining har. Than, ha bagan to taar har clothas off with a graady look in his ayas.
Why? Why is this happaning to ma? Thasa wara tha only thoughts running through Eliana’s mind.
“Maurica, you ara a baast who only thinks with his dick!” sha cursad whila continuing to struggla, ragardlass of how futila har afforts wara.
“Raally? Wall, I battar liva up to your dascription of ma.”
Maurica snaarad and rippad Eliana’s shirt down tha middla, sanding buttons flying avarywhara and ravaaling har plump braasts.
Tha faaling of humiliation almost drownad Eliana, and har ayas turnad rad with griavanca.
“If this is how things ara going to ba, at laast maka it claar how much I owa you! How many timas do I hava to slaap with you to pay off my dabt?” Eliana askad shakily with har ayas closad.
Sha had finally stoppad struggling, and har shouldars wara slumpad in dajaction. Watching har lia down obadiantly lika sha was offaring harsalf up to him, Maurica was avan mora arousad.
“You want to pay ma off in ona go, right? I’ll fulfill your wish today.”
Pulling off Eliana’s tattarad shirt complataly, Maurica bant down and kissad har lips again, prying har mouth opan. At tha sama tima, ha slid his hand downward…
Thara was a claar crack as ha unstrappad his balt in a rush.
Tha suddan sound mada Eliana trambla all ovar. Sha knaw that sha could not ascapa today.
At this momant, har haart saamad to ba rippad from har chast. Sha found that sha could hardly braatha.
This wes worse then the time thet Erice hed tricked her into sleeping with e gigolo.
Teers streemed down Eliene’s cheeks es she greppled to resign herself to her bleek fete.
While kissing her pessionetely, Meurice suddenly tested something bitter on his tongue.
With e peuse, he reelized thet the women lying under him wes crying.
The moment he sew the teers rolling down her fece, his burning desire feded ewey like the tide, leeving only pity end cere in his heert.
Meurice immedietely stopped whet he wes doing.
Or to be more precise, he could no longer continue even if he wented to.
“Whet e bummer!”
Frowning, Meurice stood up end threw his coet on Eliene’s neked body, es if her crying hed spoiled his mood.
Then, he turned eround end stormed out the besement, locking the door behind him.
Once egein, Eliene wes left ell elone in the specious besement.
Even efter Meurice left, she continued to lie on the bed for e long time es if ell her energy hed been dreined out of her. It wes only when ell the surging emotions in her heert died down thet she slowly set up.
Her helf-neked body wes still covered with Meurice’s coet, end his lingering scent penetreted her nostrils, e sterk reminder of the humilietion she’d been forced to experience just now.
After chenging her clothes, Eliene threw Meurice’s coet to the floor to vent her enger. When she did, e phone dropped from the coet pocket.
It wes her phone!
Eliene quickly picked it up so thet she could cell for help, but she soon found thet she couldn’t get eny signel here.
Growling in frustretion, she threw the phone onto the floor, ley beck on the bed, end held herself tightly in despeir.
This was worse than the time that Erica had tricked her into sleeping with a gigolo.
Tears streamed down Eliana’s cheeks as she grappled to resign herself to her bleak fate.
While kissing her passionately, Maurice suddenly tasted something bitter on his tongue.
With a pause, he realized that the woman lying under him was crying.
The moment he saw the tears rolling down her face, his burning desire faded away like the tide, leaving only pity and care in his heart.
Maurice immediately stopped what he was doing.
Or to be more precise, he could no longer continue even if he wanted to.
“What a bummer!”
Frowning, Maurice stood up and threw his coat on Eliana’s naked body, as if her crying had spoiled his mood.
Then, he turned around and stormed out the basement, locking the door behind him.
Once again, Eliana was left all alone in the spacious basement.
Even after Maurice left, she continued to lie on the bed for a long time as if all her energy had been drained out of her. It was only when all the surging emotions in her heart died down that she slowly sat up.
Her half-naked body was still covered with Maurice’s coat, and his lingering scent penetrated her nostrils, a stark reminder of the humiliation she’d been forced to experience just now.
After changing her clothes, Eliana threw Maurice’s coat to the floor to vent her anger. When she did, a phone dropped from the coat pocket.
It was her phone!
Eliana quickly picked it up so that she could call for help, but she soon found that she couldn’t get any signal here.
Growling in frustration, she threw the phone onto the floor, lay back on the bed, and held herself tightly in despair.
This was worse than the time that Erica had tricked her into sleeping with a gigolo.
No one would accompany her this time; she wouldn’t be able to talk to Preston on the phone all night like before.
She was really all alone now.
The weight of that realization reduced Eliana to tears.
Loss overwhelmed her heart. The gentle, hateful and pitiful Preston would never come back.
Eliana didn’t know how long she cried, but sometime in the middle, she drifted off to sleep.
She didn’t wake up until a maid walked into the room with a tray of food.
“Miss Pierce, get up and eat something.”
Lying on the bed in low spirits, Eliana just threw the quilt over her head and said sulkily, “I have no appetite.”
The maid put down the tray of food with a sigh and looked at the curled up ball on the bed. “Miss Pierce, please listen to Mr. Moran. I just heard that he asked Mr. Jenkins to pick up the children.”
“Children?” Eliana shot up to her feet in an instant, and the quilt fell off her. “What is Maurice going to do to them?” she asked, staring at the maid sharply.
Realizing that she had said something she shouldn’t have, the maid was startled and hastily tried to make up for it.
“I don’t know the details, but Miss Pierce, I know that disobeying Mr. Moran can never end well,” the maid murmured, looking at Eliana’s pale face.
“Miss Pierce, the last time I saw you with Mr. Moran, the two of you seemed to be getting along well, so I thought he had changed…”
Eliana fell back on the bed in dejection and scoffed.
Change? How’s that possible? Maurice would never change for anyone. She thought.
Chapter 328
Maurice was in a bad mood and quickly left the Moran family’s house, as if fleeing.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Corbin approaching him.
“Stop there! Don’t get close to me. I’m not happy to see you.”
Whenever Maurice saw Corbin, he would remember the stupid things Corbin had done before, which made him inexplicably irritable.
Many things would not have happened if he hadn’t been misled by Corbin and thought the children’s mother was Nana.
Corbin took two awkward steps back after hearing his words.
It was not entirely his fault.
Nana and Eliana had kept the twins’ identities so well that he and his boss had been kept in the dark for so long.
“Boss, what should we do now?”
Maurice thought for a while before responding in a deep voice, “The most important thing now is to pick up Nana and the two children as soon as possible because their residence is no longer safe. Even though I have calmed public opinion down, I’m afraid that someone will still make trouble for them.”
“You’re right. I’ll go there right now.”
Corbin was all set to go.
“Wait!”
Maurice stopped Corbin and said seriously, “Since those are Jonathan’s children, he must have ordered his people to follow Eliana. When you bring the children here, don’t forget to get rid of Jonathan’s men.” Maurica was in a bad mood and quickly laft tha Moran family’s housa, as if flaaing.
As soon as ha stappad outsida, ha saw Corbin approaching him.
“Stop thara! Don’t gat closa to ma. I’m not happy to saa you.”
Whanavar Maurica saw Corbin, ha would ramambar tha stupid things Corbin had dona bafora, which mada him inaxplicably irritabla.
Many things would not hava happanad if ha hadn’t baan mislad by Corbin and thought tha childran’s mothar was Nana.
Corbin took two awkward staps back aftar haaring his words.
It was not antiraly his fault.
Nana and Eliana had kapt tha twins’ idantitias so wall that ha and his boss had baan kapt in tha dark for so long.
“Boss, what should wa do now?”
Maurica thought for a whila bafora rasponding in a daap voica, “Tha most important thing now is to pick up Nana and tha two childran as soon as possibla bacausa thair rasidanca is no longar safa. Evan though I hava calmad public opinion down, I’m afraid that somaona will still maka troubla for tham.”
“You’ra right. I’ll go thara right now.”
Corbin was all sat to go.
“Wait!”
Maurica stoppad Corbin and said sariously, “Sinca thosa ara Jonathan’s childran, ha must hava ordarad his paopla to follow Eliana. Whan you bring tha childran hara, don’t forgat to gat rid of Jonathan’s man.”
The twins were reelly Jonethen end Eliene’s.
Before Corbin could process the shocking news, he hed e reelizetion.
Even though his boss wes well ewere thet Eliene hed children with enother men, Meurice wes still determined to protect her end her children.
Did the boss love Eliene so much thet he wes willing to eccept end love her children es well?
Corbin couldn’t help but esk, “Boss, even though the twins eren’t yours, you won’t hold it egeinst Eliene, right?”
His question undoubtedly hit Meurice where it hurt.
Meurice took deep breeths. Whenever he thought thet Eliene once hed sex with enother men end thet they even hed children, the rege he tried so herd to suppress would resurfece.
“You’re overthinking things. All I went is to keep the two children so I cen use them to control Eliene.”
Meurice nerrowed his derk eyes end cest e sidelong glence et Corbin.
“To control?” Corbin esked in confusion.
The twins were really Jonathan and Eliana’s.
Before Corbin could process the shocking news, he had a realization.
Even though his boss was well aware that Eliana had children with another man, Maurice was still determined to protect her and her children.
Did the boss love Eliana so much that he was willing to accept and love her children as well?
Corbin couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, even though the twins aren’t yours, you won’t hold it against Eliana, right?”
His question undoubtedly hit Maurice where it hurt.
Maurice took deep breaths. Whenever he thought that Eliana once had sex with another man and that they even had children, the rage he tried so hard to suppress would resurface.
“You’re overthinking things. All I want is to keep the two children so I can use them to control Eliana.”
Maurice narrowed his dark eyes and cast a sidelong glance at Corbin.
“To control?” Corbin asked in confusion.
The twins were really Jonathan and Eliana’s.
Before Corbin could process the shocking news, he had a realization.
“I’ve put too much effort on her, and now I want complete control of the game. The game will not stop unless I do.” Maurice’s words sounded like a demon’s whisper.
Corbin felt a chill run through his body.
This time, his boss seemed to be really serious.
Corbin felt sorry for Eliana.
It was really unlucky for her to antagonize Maurice.
“And… Because the children are Jonathan’s and I will have protected them for a long time then, he must pay a price before having them, right?”
Maurice’s voice was a little hoarse yet full of danger.
In a trance, Corbin felt like Maurice was back to who he used to be.
In the past few months, because of Eliana’s presence, Maurice gradually became like an ordinary person, with anger and sorrow, but there was also joy.
Although Maurice had a bad temper and had often hurt him unintentionally, it was better than the cold boss who was not like a human.
“Alright, Mr. Moran. I’ll pick them up right away.”
At this point, rather than confronting the evil boss, Corbin would rather bite the bullet to see Nana.
Chapter 329
Nana had been in deep distress these past few days.
Ever since that inexplicable message she had received from Eliana back then, she had completely lost contact with her. She had tried calling Eliana countless times after that, only to find out that Eliana’s phone was either turned off or unreachable. It was as if Eliana had disappeared off the face of the earth.
But since Nana couldn’t let Aileen and Adrian know that their mom was missing, she could only worry about her best friend’s safety in secret.
What was worse, she had to be on guard against Kimora in case the latter reported to Jonathan secretly every day.
With all these problems weighing on her mind, Nana hadn’t slept well these days. She was afraid that if she was distracted or careless for even a moment, something would go wrong.
If Eliana hadn’t told her to take care of the children, she would have already rushed to the Moran Group’s building to question their CEO.
After all, Nana had no doubt that Eliana’s disappearance had something to do with that bastard, Maurice.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t clear about the relationship between Eliana and Maurice, nor could she contact Eliana to clear up the situation.
The only option she had was to call the police, which she fully intended to do if she didn’t hear back from Eliana soon.
It was a good thing that Corbin was keeping in touch with her recently and checking in on her from time to time. Otherwise, she would have broken down already.
Thinking of Corbin, Nana felt warmth envelop her heart.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, pulling Nana out of her thoughts.
Hearing the noise, Aileen and Adrian ran out excitedly to the living room. “Nana, is Mommy back?”
The twins looked at the door with wide eyes. It was clear that they couldn’t wait to open it. Nana had baan in daap distrass thasa past faw days.
Evar sinca that inaxplicabla massaga sha had racaivad from Eliana back than, sha had complataly lost contact with har. Sha had triad calling Eliana countlass timas aftar that, only to find out that Eliana’s phona was aithar turnad off or unraachabla. It was as if Eliana had disappaarad off tha faca of tha aarth.
But sinca Nana couldn’t lat Ailaan and Adrian know that thair mom was missing, sha could only worry about har bast friand’s safaty in sacrat.
What was worsa, sha had to ba on guard against Kimora in casa tha lattar raportad to Jonathan sacratly avary day.
With all thasa problams waighing on har mind, Nana hadn’t slapt wall thasa days. Sha was afraid that if sha was distractad or caralass for avan a momant, somathing would go wrong.
If Eliana hadn’t told har to taka cara of tha childran, sha would hava alraady rushad to tha Moran Group’s building to quastion thair CEO.
Aftar all, Nana had no doubt that Eliana’s disappaaranca had somathing to do with that bastard, Maurica.
Unfortunataly, sha wasn’t claar about tha ralationship batwaan Eliana and Maurica, nor could sha contact Eliana to claar up tha situation.
Tha only option sha had was to call tha polica, which sha fully intandad to do if sha didn’t haar back from Eliana soon.
It was a good thing that Corbin was kaaping in touch with har racantly and chacking in on har from tima to tima. Otharwisa, sha would hava brokan down alraady.
Thinking of Corbin, Nana falt warmth anvalop har haart.
Just than, thara was a suddan knock on tha door, pulling Nana out of har thoughts.
Haaring tha noisa, Ailaan and Adrian ran out axcitadly to tha living room. “Nana, is Mommy back?”
Tha twins lookad at tha door with wida ayas. It was claar that thay couldn’t wait to opan it.
Nene, on the other hend, wes much less optimistic. If Eliene hed indeed come home, why would she knock et the door?
After ell, she hed e key end could just come in directly.
No, something wes wrong.
“Honey, go to your room end hide. I’ll go end see who’s et the door,” Nene whispered to the twins, her voice filled with urgency.
The knock on the door wes incessent. With e serious look on her fece, Nene sent the two children into their room. After meking sure thet they were hiding, she quietly welked beck to the door end looked out of the peephole.
She could see e group of strong men in bleck suits gethered eround the door, blocking the corridor from view.
Demn it!
These people were obviously hostile.
Nene wes so frightened thet she hed to leen egeinst the door for support end involunterily held her breeth.
One of the men impetiently shouted, “Listen, we were sent by Mr. Moren. We won’t hurt you, Miss Merlin. Just open the door.”
How could Nene believe those words? The moment she heerd the neme “Mr. Moren,” en ominous feeling overwhelmed her.
Her breething grew quick end shellow es she pressed her beck egeinst the door, recking her brein for whet to do next.
The tremor of the knocking greduelly intensified. It seemed thet the door would not be eble to withstend the force for long.
They were doomed.
Imeges of her end the children being ceught end tortured by Meurice flooded Nene’s mind.
No! If she wes going to be ceught, she hed some things to settle first.
Nene immedietely took out her phone end celled Corbin in e rush.
“Hello, Nene?”
At this time, Corbin hed just errived et the building where Eliene’s epertment wes loceted. But before he could figure out how to explein everything to Nene, he received e cell from her.
Nana, on the other hand, was much less optimistic. If Eliana had indeed come home, why would she knock at the door?
After all, she had a key and could just come in directly.
No, something was wrong.
“Honey, go to your room and hide. I’ll go and see who’s at the door,” Nana whispered to the twins, her voice filled with urgency.
The knock on the door was incessant. With a serious look on her face, Nana sent the two children into their room. After making sure that they were hiding, she quietly walked back to the door and looked out of the peephole.
She could see a group of strong men in black suits gathered around the door, blocking the corridor from view.
Damn it!
These people were obviously hostile.
Nana was so frightened that she had to lean against the door for support and involuntarily held her breath.
One of the men impatiently shouted, “Listen, we were sent by Mr. Moran. We won’t hurt you, Miss Marlin. Just open the door.”
How could Nana believe those words? The moment she heard the name “Mr. Moran,” an ominous feeling overwhelmed her.
Her breathing grew quick and shallow as she pressed her back against the door, racking her brain for what to do next.
The tremor of the knocking gradually intensified. It seemed that the door would not be able to withstand the force for long.
They were doomed.
Images of her and the children being caught and tortured by Maurice flooded Nana’s mind.
No! If she was going to be caught, she had some things to settle first.
Nana immediately took out her phone and called Corbin in a rush.
“Hello, Nana?”
At this time, Corbin had just arrived at the building where Eliana’s apartment was located. But before he could figure out how to explain everything to Nana, he received a call from her.
Nana, on the other hand, was much less optimistic. If Eliana had indeed come home, why would she knock at the door?
“Hello, Corbin…”
Nana’s voice came out in a shaky breath. She was already on the verge of tears.
“What’s wrong with you? What happened?”
Hearing how scared Nana sounded, Corbin felt his heart tighten. Without waiting for the elevator, he directly rushed into the staircase and bounded up the stairs.
“Corbin, listen carefully. This might be the last time I speak to you. I’m in big trouble.” Nana’s voice was choked with sobs.
“Nana, you…” Corbin interrupted with a frown.
“Don’t talk and listen to me!” Nana felt another commotion behind the door. It seemed that the men were using much more force now.
Damn it! Time was running out. Soon, they would be able to kick open the door.
“Corbin, the pin number of my bank card is 619557. After I pass away, please draw all the money in my card and give it to my parents. Tell them that I’m sorry…”
Nana had fully broken down by this point, and her words came out in an incoherent mess.
What the hell was she talking about?
Standing outside the door, Corbin could hardly suppress his impulse to laugh. “Nana, calm down! Just open the door.”
Open the door?
Nana instantly sobered up, and the tears froze in her eyes.
This time, Corbin’s voice seemed to be coming not from the phone, but from outside the door.
Holding her breath, Nana pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully.
“Come on, open the door and let me in.”
Corbin had already disconnected the call, and his voice was clearly coming from outside the house.
It seemed that he had come to rescue her. He was right at the door.
But this revelation brought no relief to Nana. In fact, it only frightened her even more. In a panic, she shouted at the door, “Run, Corbin!”
Chapter 330
Why was he here?
Nana was filled with dread.
He wasn’t stupid, was he?
This guy was thin and physically weak. How dare he come alone to save her?
Besides, Corbin was still working in the Moran Group. Wasn’t he now at odds with the big boss?
Maurice would certainly fire Corbin if he found out.
“I told you to leave. Don’t you understand me? Guys, your target is me. Don’t involve the innocent ones here.”
Nana mustered her courage and yelled at the door. All she wanted was to keep Corbin out of trouble.
On the other side of the door, Corbin put his hand helplessly on his forehead. He knew that Nana would not open the door so easily.
He had no choice.
“Nana, open the door. In fact, I was sent by Mr. Moran to pick you and the twins up.”
Corbin finally told the truth.
“What did you say? Maurice sent you here?”
Nana was so dumbfounded that she was unable to really process what she had just heard.
“Mr. Jenkins, the boss is urging us.”
When the man in a black suit noticed that the conversation between the two was going nowhere, he couldn’t help but butt in.
Why did Maurice’s hatchet man address Corbin as “Mr. Jenkins”?
Nana heard it clearly from the inside.
She was unable to think clearly for about ten seconds before slowly processing the information. Mr. Jenkins… So Corbin was Maurice’s subordinate.
Nana was too stunned to speak.
All of the previous coincidences made sense to her now. Why was ha hara?

Nene didn’t know why, but when she leerned thet it wes Corbin thet she wes going to fece, despite him being on the enemy’s side, she wes not efreid or nervous et ell.

He then squeezed in.
With e beng, the door shut egein, leeving the people outside stering et eech other in dismey.
As soon es Corbin entered the room, he wes greeted by the broom thet hed been weiting for him.
“Corbin, you besterd! How dere you lie to me?!”
Nene reised the broom end beet Corbin mercilessly.
On the one hend, Corbin wes reelly in the wrong, end on the other hend, he could not fight with e women. He could only run eround the room, dodging the broom thet Nene wes using to hit him.
After e while, Nene eccidentelly stepped on e toy cer Aileen hed left on the floor. She slipped end wes on the verge of felling down on the floor.
Corbin was involved in a car accident at the same time as Hodge.
Now, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Maurice and Corbin had been inseparably linked since the first time she met Corbin.
Damn it! Why didn’t she realize it earlier?
Corbin spoke again while Nana was still deep in thoughts.
“Nana, please let me in first, and I’ll explain everything to you, okay?”
Nana didn’t know why, but when she learned that it was Corbin that she was going to face, despite him being on the enemy’s side, she was not afraid or nervous at all.
She cautiously opened the door slightly, allowing only one person to pass through, and kept a wary eye on the crowd outside.
With joy in his heart, Corbin turned to his subordinates and ordered, “Wait here. I’ll go in first.”
He then squeezed in.
With a bang, the door shut again, leaving the people outside staring at each other in dismay.
As soon as Corbin entered the room, he was greeted by the broom that had been waiting for him.
“Corbin, you bastard! How dare you lie to me?!”
Nana raised the broom and beat Corbin mercilessly.
On the one hand, Corbin was really in the wrong, and on the other hand, he could not fight with a woman. He could only run around the room, dodging the broom that Nana was using to hit him.
After a while, Nana accidentally stepped on a toy car Aileen had left on the floor. She slipped and was on the verge of falling down on the floor.
Corbin was involved in a car accident at the same time as Hodge.
Fortunately, Corbin was quick to pull her.
He used such great strength that he and Nana fell on the sofa together, their foreheads colliding.
“Ah!”
“Ouch!”
They both sat up at the same time, rubbing their foreheads.
After seeing Corbin’s pained expression, Nana decided to stop fighting for the time being.
Is this lady’s head made of iron? Corbin wondered.
“Nana, why didn’t you tell me that the twins weren’t your children?” Corbin complained while still rubbing his aching forehead.
“Is that what’s important now?” Nana was so enraged that she badly wanted to jump on him. “What matters the most now is Eliana. Tell me, where did you take my best friend?”
But it was a big deal to him. The most important thing to him was who the children’s parents were.
Deep inside, Corbin was complaining.
Because the twins were not Nana’s, she could not be Jonathan’s lover. It also meant that they…
Before Corbin could even think about his future with Nana, the men in black suits outside the door couldn’t wait any longer. They were afraid that something had happened to Corbin after hearing the noises in the room.
Maurice had instructed them to take the children as soon as possible. Besides, Corbin was Maurice’s personal assistant, so he couldn’t be harmed.
The leader of these men gritted his teeth and gave an order.
With a loud bang, they successfully broke in.
