Ch. 531..535: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 531-535
Chapter 532
With Brevard’s support, Eliana’s confidence increased greatly. Brevard was the leader of the factory workers, so as long as he was on her side, it would be easy for her to win over the other workers.
With a sigh of relief, Eliana held out her hand for Brevard to shake and said, “Mr. Wallace, I hope we’ll have good cooperation in the future.”
Brevard shook hands with her, albeit reluctantly. Deep down, he was not happy about this at all.
Even though it had been a long time since he had last seen Eliana, he could not swallow how much she had changed. She even dared to wage a war of nerves with him.
Brevard was afraid that if he let things go on like this, he would really have to follow the orders of this young lady.
Unwilling to let that happen, he quickly came up with an idea. Plastering a cordial smile on his face, he suggested, “From now on, this factory is yours. How about you treat the factory employees to a meal to celebrate? They’ll have a good impression of you. And you can also bring the new contract with you to renew it.”
This sounded reasonable to Eliana, so after thinking for a moment, she casually agreed.
However, she was not prepared at all for the sight that greeted her when Brevard took her to meet all the employees. A large wave of people appeared in the workshop, which seemed to be sparsely staffed just now, and stared expectantly at her.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Eliana’s mind: if she treated this many people to a meal, she would have to spend an arm and a leg!
Catching the hesitation on her face, Brevard asked deliberately, “Eliana, you’re not going to change your mind, are you?”
Eliana forced a smile, “Of course not. Let’s go. There’s so many of you. We’ll have to take several cars.”
Gritting her teeth, Eliana decided to keep her promise.
She got into Brevard’s car, which was followed by several other cars packed with the factory workers. On the way, Eliana was busy calculating the approximate amount she would have to spend tonight, and didn’t notice her surroundings at all.
It wes only when Eliene got out of the cer thet she reelized thet Breverd hed driven them to the Imperiel Golden Club for the celebretion!
She couldn’t help but freeze in shock.
Whet the hell? Whet en unfortunete coincidence! Of ell the clubs in the city, why hed they chosen the one owned by Meurice?
Seeing the uneesiness on her fece, Breverd took the opportunity to provoke her egein. “Miss Pierce, didn’t you sey thet you would treet ell of us? Now thet we’re here et the club, why ere you hesiteting? Show your good feith! You don’t think it’s too expensive, do you? Then whet’s the point of extending our contrect? We might es well just collectively not renew it end leeve en empty plent for you.”
Heering these words, the fectory workers begen to grumble emong themselves in discontent.
Finding herself in e dilemme, Eliene bit her lower lip.
The reeson why she didn’t went to enter the Imperiel Golden Club wes not beceuse it wes too expensive, but beceuse she wes efreid of running into Meurice inside.
But now thet they were here, she hed no choice.
She could only prey thet Meurice would not be here tonight.
Feigning e smile, Eliene entered the Imperiel Golden Club, followed by e lerge group of people. The whole time, Eliene wes efreid thet Meurice would suddenly pop out from nowhere.
In contrest, the workers were buzzing with excitement. They hed never gotten e chence to come to such e luxurious club before. They could not help looking eround in ewe end touching everything in sight.
In high spirits, Breverd went streight to the reception desk end requested e privete room. Seeing severel mesks on the teble next to him, he seid excitedly, “This plece is fency!”
Then, he grebbed one of the mesks to put it on.
“Stop!”
Just then, e women rushed over end snepped, “How cen you steel my mesk?”
Heering the femilier voice, Eliene looked beck end reelized thet it belonged to en ecqueintence.
It wes Jennifer, the herpist whom Eliene hed helped et Moon Leke Menor.
It was only when Eliana got out of the car that she realized that Brevard had driven them to the Imperial Golden Club for the celebration!
She couldn’t help but freeze in shock.
What the hell? What an unfortunate coincidence! Of all the clubs in the city, why had they chosen the one owned by Maurice?
Seeing the uneasiness on her face, Brevard took the opportunity to provoke her again. “Miss Pierce, didn’t you say that you would treat all of us? Now that we’re here at the club, why are you hesitating?
Show your good faith! You don’t think it’s too expensive, do you? Then what’s the point of extending our contract? We might as well just collectively not renew it and leave an empty plant for you.”
Hearing these words, the factory workers began to grumble among themselves in discontent.
Finding herself in a dilemma, Eliana bit her lower lip.
The reason why she didn’t want to enter the Imperial Golden Club was not because it was too expensive, but because she was afraid of running into Maurice inside.
But now that they were here, she had no choice.
She could only pray that Maurice would not be here tonight.
Feigning a smile, Eliana entered the Imperial Golden Club, followed by a large group of people. The whole time, Eliana was afraid that Maurice would suddenly pop out from nowhere.
In contrast, the workers were buzzing with excitement. They had never gotten a chance to come to such a luxurious club before. They could not help looking around in awe and touching everything in sight.
In high spirits, Brevard went straight to the reception desk and requested a private room. Seeing several masks on the table next to him, he said excitedly, “This place is fancy!”
Then, he grabbed one of the masks to put it on.
“Stop!”
Just then, a woman rushed over and snapped, “How can you steal my mask?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Eliana looked back and realized that it belonged to an acquaintance.
It was Jennifer, the harpist whom Eliana had helped at Moon Lake Manor.
“Jennifer!” Eliana blurted out her name in surprise.
After snatching her mask from Brevard, Jennifer turned to Eliana in surprise.
“Eliana!”
“You two know each other?”
Brevard looked back and forth between the two in confusion.
“She is a friend of mine. Mr. Wallace, you can go ahead with the others. I’ll have a chat with her and come in soon,” said Eliana perfunctorily.
“Okay, but don’t try to ditch us,” Brevard said dryly before entering the private room.
Eliana immediately grabbed Jennifer’s arm and asked, “Jennifer, what are you doing here?”
“I came here for a part-time gig, but I didn’t expect to meet you here! What a coincidence.”
“A part-time gig? How could you come to such a place for work?”
It was not that Eliana was a judgmental person, but that a club was not the sort of place that a harpist should perform at.
Lowering her head in embarrassment, Jennifer mumbled, “There was an event at the club today, but the performer dropped out at the last minute, so they called me. The quote was quite high, and I need the money. I can’t do any official performance right now, with my hand injury…”
Hearing that Jennifer hadn’t recovered from her injury yet, Eliana couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.
She gently lifted Jennifer’s injured arm and took a look at the hideous scar etched clearly on it.
Flushing, Jennifer hurriedly withdrew her hand. “I’m fine. The scar only looks scary, but it will heal in no time. Don’t worry about me.”
With her eyes full of pity, Eliana wanted to say something more.
But just then, an attendant came, looking for Jennifer.
“Are you the one who played the harp just now?”
Jennifer’s eyebrows shot up in confusion. “Yes. Is something wrong?”
Looking at her in a condescending manner, the attendant said, “Our guest in Room 3601 was very satisfied with your performance and wants to see you. Come with us right away.”
Chapter 533
“Damn! This is not good.”
Eliana was in a panic. When she saw the attendant of the bar, her first reaction was to find a place to hide.
She was scared that he would recognize her, so she immediately turned around. After all, she had been to the Imperial Golden Club many times and even got into big trouble.
Fortunately, the attendant only came for Jennifer. Although he saw a familiar woman beside her, he didn’t care that much. Countless guests came in and went out of the bar every day, and some of them were repeat customers. So it was not surprising that one or two of them would look familiar to the attendant.
“The guest in Room 3601 wants to see me? Who is it? And why?”
Jennifer pursed her lips tightly, feeling a little scared.
She knew what kind of a place the Imperial Golden Club was. And she was a young woman, so she didn’t dare to meet strangers casually.
“Don’t talk nonsense anymore. Hurry and go with me.”
The attendant got impatient.
“But…”
Jennifer wanted to say she didn’t want to go, but the words were stuck in her throat.
This time, Eliana couldn’t play dumb anymore. She secretly took the mask from Jennifer’s hand and put it on her face. Then she turned around and said, “I’ll go with her. Is that okay?”
It was difficult to go against the staff of the bar, so Jennifer had no choice. And Eliana couldn’t leave Jennifer alone. If something happened, she might help Jennifer.
She had already made trouble in the Imperial Golden Club several times. She had learned from her experiences here.
Jennifer was stunned for a moment. Then she said anxiously, “This is my business. You don’t have to…”
Before she could finish her words, Eliana held her hand, squeezed it gently, and comforted her, “Room 3061 is just next to our private room. It’s okay. I’ll take you there.”
Jennifer didn’t continue to resist anymore. With Eliana’s company, she finally felt a little more at ease.
So they walked towards Room 3601, hand in hand.
“Remember to act smart when you see the guest later, okay?”
The attendant warned Eliana and Jennifer before pushing the door of Room 3601 open.
Inside the private room, the atmosphere was very lively. Under the dim light, several scantily clad and coquettish women with wine glasses in their hands sat around a man, feeding wine to him. Behind them stood several bodyguards in black.
The man was obviously enjoying the women’s attention. His big hands wandered on their plump breasts and bare thighs, making the scene incomparably licentious.
Eliana was stunned when she entered the private room and saw the man. It turned out that the man surrounded by those women was also someone she knew.
He was Kelvin. The man who held a grudge against her.
Indeed, what a small world!
Eliana was about to sigh when Kelvin turned his head and noticed them.
When he looked at Jennifer and Eliana up and down, he became lewdly interested in them.
Jennifer’s delicate and weak temperament satisfied him. As for Eliana, although he could only see half of her face because of the mask, he could say that she was hot according to his sharp eyes.
“You’re the one who played the harp, right?” Kelvin asked, staring at them with lustful eyes. He then swallowed his saliva and added, “You two, come here together.”
He dismissed the women around him, deliberately leaving one empty seat on each side of him. Kelvin patted the empty seats. His meaning was self-evident.
Eliana felt Jennifer’s stiffness almost immediately. She silently held Jennifer’s hand and squeezed it gently to comfort her.
The bodyguards inside the private room gave them so much pressure that they had no choice but to sit on each side of Kelvin.
Now that they were closer to him, Kelvin suddenly felt that the masked woman looked a little familiar. But he was already tipsy, so he couldn’t remember her.
“If you serve me well tonight, I will reward you handsomely.”
Kelvin stretched out his left arm to wrap it around Jennifer’s shoulders and tried to hold Eliana beside him with his right arm.
He wanted both women to serve him? Could his body stand it?
Eliana had long hated Kelvin because he was a lecher who wanted to take advantage of her last time. So today, she had to teach him a good lesson.
At the thought of it, she came up with an idea.
“Sir, we can both serve you. But these big men behind us really look scary. Can you let them go out first so that we can perform well?”
Eliana had a mask, so she believed that he wouldn’t recognize her. She endured the disgust in her heart and approached to seduce him.
As soon as Kelvin smelled the fragrance on Eliana’s body, his mind was immediately filled with lust. He turned to the bodyguards behind him and said without hesitation, “You go out and go far away. Don’t disturb me.”
No one from the bodyguards opposed him. They looked at each other and left the room knowingly.
As soon as they left, the expression on Eliana’s face under the mask immediately changed.
Kevin turned to her and said, “Pretty, let me see what you look like under the mask.”
He smiled obscenely and reached out, wanting to remove her mask.
Chapter 535
Maurice stared at the room number. Room 3601. He reached for the doorknob, turned it and walked into the room.
He was taken aback by the ludicrous scene before him.
Kelvin was on the floor. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine as he was reeking of alcohol. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray. But what was utterly absurd was he was being beaten by two women!
He felt a presence and looked up. His face was wet with tears. The expression on his face changed, like he had seen his savior in Maurice.
He struggled to speak. “Mr…Moran! Thank God… You’re here… Please… Help me! They’re…”
Kelvin could no longer utter another word. And then, he fainted.
What was this man doing here?
Eliana stiffened when she heard Maurice’s name. She was so frightened that she crouched on the floor and dared not move.
He shouldn’t see her! He shouldn’t see her!
Meanwhile, Jennifer looked at Maurice in shock, mouth agape. It was her first time doing something bad like this. “Mr. Moran,” she blurted out. “It’s… It’s him… He attacked us first!”
Maurice looked like he didn’t hear the scared voice of Jennifer. The unconscious Kelvin didn’t even seem to move him. It was the crouched figure on the floor that held his attention.
His face darkened as he tried to suppress his emotions. He took purposeful steps towards the figure.
Seeing that there was no way to escape Maurice, Eliana forced herself out of her shock. She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mask. She stood up, smiling awkwardly at Maurice. “Mr. Moran, it’s nice to meet you. I’m a friend of Jennifer,” she said, trying to control the quiver in her voice. “It was just a misunderstanding… Really, a misunderstanding!”
Saying nothing, Maurice just stared at the masked face of Eliana.
The atmosphere was getting more depressing that it could have been cut with a plastic knife. Eliana could feel her state of mind nearing collapse.
Ah! How unlucky she was!
She was seething with anger so she thought of venting it out to Kelvin, beating him up, and then running away. She didn’t expect to see Maurice again and now she didn’t know what she’d do.
She couldn’t tell if he had recognized her.
Eliana felt a bit forlorn but she didn’t show it on her face.
Maurice looked at her intently and then took his eyes off her to look at Jennifer.
“You should have known that someone has to own up to beat him up,” Maurice glowered at her. “So, I’ll leave you and your friend to the bodyguards of the Stone family.”
No!” Jennifer gasped. “You can’t do that!”
This was not the plan. This was not how she thought it would be. Now, the bodyguards of the Stone family would have her and Eliana done for. Eliana shouldn’t be dragged into trouble with her.
Jennifer thought fast. After weighing things, she made up her mind. Looking at Maurice straight in the eyes, she asked, “Mr. Moran, tell me. What should we do to make you change your mind and help us?”
Maurice just sneered at Jennifer, who couldn’t hide her shuddering. He walked towards her, and then he held her chin and forced her to raise her head.
“I can ask you to do something… Just one thing. Come with me, and I will help you… her… both of you,” he answered in a smug tone. “Otherwise…”
The implication in his words could not be more obvious.
While Maurice was ambiguous in his words, his eyes were cold. He seemed to be staring at Jennifer, but he was actually glaring at Eliana from the corner of his eye.
Jennifer didn’t notice how Maurice was looking at them. All she knew was she was intimidated by the man’s powerful aura that she couldn’t move at all.
Things had gone too far, and she had no other choice.
“I… I agree.”
Eliana couldn’t believe how things were turning out.
Maurice wanted Eliana to react and say something but she didn’t. This only made him more furious.
“Keep in mind that you’ve said it yourself.”
Without saying another word, Maurice pulled Jennifer out of the room.
It was only at this moment that Eliana came to her senses. Without thinking, she followed Maurice and Jennifer.
She stopped in her tracks when she reached the door. Corbin was blocking her way.
Corbin reminded her, “Miss, Mr. Moran didn’t mean that you, too, should come with him. You don’t have to follow them.”
Behind her mask, Eliana could only stare at Corbin with her eyes wide open. She couldn’t expose her identity. She became anxious that she couldn’t do anything.
Maurice heard Corbin stopping Eliana. He turned around to look at them. In a deep voice, he said, “It’s okay, Corbin. Let her go with us. I need someone to pour wine for me.”
Eliana slightly nodded her head. He had allowed her to come with them.
Was Maurice letting her in so easily?
Corbin looked confusedly at the masked Eliana, his mouth open but lost for words.
He felt something was wrong. This woman in the mask… Her back looked so familiar.
Reaching his private room, Maurice forcibly pulled the pale Jennifer to his side.
He put his arms around her waist in an intimate posture.
Eliana couldn’t control herself. She felt a green monster had bitten her heart. She gasped audibly.
What a horrible man he was!
It hadn’t been long since she left him. And here was… His arms around Jennifer’s waist! How could he forget her so soon?
Eliana was awash with jealousy! Yet, she couldn’t do anything to stop Maurice.
It was she who decided to leave him. Even if she revealed herself now to Maurice, it seemed that she had no right to be jealous.
They had already broken up.
