Ch. 676..680: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 676-680

Chapter 676 How Much Money Have You Saved

Maurice enjoyed the moment, holding his beautiful fiancee in his arms.

The people around also knew how to behave in such a delicate situation. They tactfully didn't disturb the couple.

But while enjoying the moment, Maurice suddenly thought of something. He asked Eliana in a low voice, "Honey, did something bad happen here just now?"

Eliana was stunned for a moment. Then she asked back, "How did you know?"

Maurice let go of her and helped her straighten up the wedding dress that wrinkled a little from the hug.

"On the way here, I saw the trending topics on the Internet. They were all about Cheryl. She failed to stir up trouble with someone, and her ugly photos were exposed. I see that the place where the photos were taken was exactly this shop."

Eliana hurriedly said, "I'm fine. Cheryl didn't hurt me. But I realize that she probably has once joined forces with Harriet. I thought she just let me take the blame for the mistress incident back then. But now, I realize it seems premeditated. They must have planned it."

Maurice was not surprised. He took Eliana's hand and said, "I see. But you don't have to worry about these things now. Just focus on being my most beautiful bride."

While they were talking, three children came in from the door < and bounced around happily.

"Mommy..." Aileen and Adrian rushed over and hugged Eliana's thighs.

"Children, what are you doing here?" Eliana squatted down and held the twins in her arms in surprise.

Adrian explained, "We just finished school, and Silas said you're trying on the wedding dress, and he took us here."

Aileen stared at Eliana with her bright eyes, looked Eliana up and down, and exclaimed, "Mommy, you are so beautiful! ! declare that you will be the most beautiful bride in the world!"

Adrian nodded in agreement.

Eliana was so amused by the children that she rubbed their noses intimately.

"You have never seen other brides in person yet. How can you be so sure that I will be the most beautiful one?"

"It doesn't matter. For us, you will be the most beautiful. Right, Silas?"

After saying this, Aileen and Eliana looked at Silas at the same time.

Actually, Silas had been stunned since he entered the room and saw Eliana for the first time in a wedding dress.

Maurice chuckled lightly and patted Silas on the shoulder. "Boy, come back to your senses. Aileen is asking you."

It was only then that Silas came back to his senses. With a flushed face, he firmly said, "Yes, Miss Pierce will be the most beautiful bride in the world."

Everyone was so amused by the three children's words that they burst into laughter.

Only Nana was alone on the side, looking sad. While watching the happy scene in front of her, she wanted to cry. Because only she knew how painful it was for Eliana when she suffered from attacks.

Every time she thought that Eliana got happiness at the expense of enduring the pain, she didn't feel like celebrating it.

When Corbin noticed Nana's unusual mood, he walked over to her and hugged her.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Nana quickly sniffed and changed the topic.

"It's nothing. I just realize I'm going to be a bridesmaid again.

I've done it many times. I also want to wear a wedding dress like those brides."

She said those words unintentionally. But when Corbin heard them, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed a lot.

Indeed, he was not like Maurice, who had billions of dollars of wealth. And he was not destined to give his woman a grand and extravagant wedding.

Nana grew up in a wealthy family, and her ex-boyfriend was Huey, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Could a poor man like him really make her happy?

Nana noticed Corbin's sudden unusual silence. It seemed that lovers really had a connection. She immediately understood what he was worried about.

So she nudged him and teased, "What are you thinking? I've been through a lot of hardship. I'm not the ignorant girl anymore."

She paused for a moment before she continued, "Corbin, tell me the truth. How much money have you saved?"

Corbin was always an honest man, so he answered honestly, "My boss has paid me a lot these years. Maybe I have at least two million..."

Before he could finish, Nana suddenly interrupted, "Two million dollars?"

Obviously, she was shocked.

Then Corbin continued to count his family property carefully.

"I still have some investments. I can probably make more money..."

"Shut up!" Nana raised her voice subconsciously, and she couldn't help looking around.

She pulled Corbin aside and said in an extremely low voice, "Shut up, you big fool! Don't show off your wealth. Don't you understand it?"

Corbin couldn't help smiling when he saw Nana's cautious look.

It seemed that a hostess would soon be taking care of the money he had saved.

Chapter 677 One Request

After choosing the wedding dress, they went back to Eliana's house.

Maurice and Eliana were the first ones to get off the car along with the kids, while Corbin and Nana proceeded to park the car.

Upon getting off the car, Maurice's phone rang.

He was stunned when he saw the caller ID.

"Who's calling you?" asked Eliana.

Acting as though nothing was wrong, Maurice looked back at

her and said, "One of my partners is calling. I have to take this. It probably concerns the company."

He then walked aside to answer the call.

"Jonathan, are you finally ready to come out of hiding and face me?" asked Maurice.

He could hear Jonathan chuckling on the other end of the line.

"How are Eliana and the kids?" asked Jonathan. "She's gotten thinner, hasn't she? How can you let her walk around without enough layers of clothes? She might catch a cold! Aileen and Adrian have grown taller. Their clothes don't fit that well anymore."

Maurice's face turned grim when he heard those comments. He looked around, searching for any traces of Jonathan,

"That bastard!" he muttered under his breath. Jonathan was spying on them. Maurice decided that he couldn't let Jonathan see Eliana and the kids again!

Before turning around, Maurice put on a smile and said to Eliana, "Eliana, take the kids upstairs. It's pretty cold out here."

"Sure. Once you're done talking over the phone, come upstairs, okay?"

Eliana didn't pay too much mind about the phone call and just went upstairs with the kids.

Once Maurice was certain that his beloved family was out of sight, he no longer held himself back.

"Show yourself at once!" he commanded and dropped the call right away.

Somewhere nearby, Jonathan got off a black Maybach and headed toward Maurice.

"Long time no see, Maurice," he remarked.

Maurice put his phone in his pocket and scoffed, "So, you've finally showed your ugly mug. It hasn't been that long, but it seems you're already at your wits' end."

Jonathan froze in place

Over the past few days, the Universe Group had been attacked by anonymous hackers and the company suffered heavy losses. He investigated and found out that the Moran Group was behind the crime.

Almost at the same time, Rosamond's company swooped in to take away many of the Universe Group's projects.

Being caught in a pincer attack between two industry giants had put the Universe Group in an awful situation.

It hadn't been that long since he returned to the country, and the Universe Group's foothold in the domestic market was still unstable. The recent attacks had damaged the company's stability even further, and it was highly probable that it would take a long time for the company to recover its losses.

Obviously, Maurice was the mastermind behind all of this. How could Jonathan not hate him?

"Hand over the antidote, bastard! Because if you don't, I will destroy the Universe Group and savor every moment of it!" Maurice had completely lost his composure.

Jonathan adjusted his glasses, smiling like the Devil himself. "I'm not going to hand it over just like that. What can you even do to me? Letting Eliana die along with the Universe Group isn't that big of a deal to me. I can always rebuild and start a new company, but people's lives can never be restored. This is payback for what she did to me.

Maurice clenched his fists, his eyes quivering with anger. He grabbed Jonathan by the collar, seemingly ready to strangle him. "Give me the fucking antidote; or else I'll send you to hell where you belong!"

Unfazed, Jonathan just allowed himself to be manhandled by Maurice.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, someone intervened, "Let go of Mr. Bowman!"

Jonathan's assistant hurried to his side.

Maurice took a deep breath and paused, but he didn't let go of Jonathan yet. He shot a daunting gaze at the latter's assistant, clenching his fists.

"Fuck off!"

The assistant quivered at Maurice's gaze. It felt like a lion was staring at him, ready to devour him.

He then took out a small glass bottle, which contained dozens of white capsules.

"This is the antidote that you're looking for. I'll give it to you as long as you let Mr. Bowman go."

When Maurice heard that it was the antidote, he loosened his grip on Jonathan's collar. It was then that the latter shoved away the former's hand.

Thereafter, Jonathan winked at his assistant. The assistant threw the bottle to Maurice at once.

Upon receiving the bottle, Maurice held it tightly. "How can I be sure that this really is the antidote?"

This matter involved the health of his beloved. He was merely erring on the side of caution.

Jonathan straightened his disheveled collar and said, "If you don't trust me, you can go to the hospital and have it tested to see if its ingredients are effective. However, those pills can only bring a brief respite from the pain. The true antidote is still within my possession."

Maurice was none too pleased to hear that. "What do you want, Jonathan?"

Jonathan's eyes glinted. "I only have one request. Hand over the whole theme park project to me!"

Chapter 678 Do Everything

For Her

For a moment, there was pin-drop silence, and the air was eerily still.

Knowing Jonathan, Maurice had already anticipated that Jonathan would demand an exorbitant price, so he was prepared for it.

No matter what Jonathan wanted, he would temporarily agree for Eliana's sake.

So he said without hesitation, "Okay, I agree."

The smile on Jonathan's face deepened. "You surprised me. I really didn't expect that you would be willing to bargain away the future of the whole Moran family for a woman related to the White family."

Maurice put away the medicine bottle properly and said indifferently, "Yes, Eliana is related to the White family. But she is also the mother of my children, and the woman I love the most in my life. I am willing to do everything for her."

Jonathan was stunned for a moment. But he soon regained his composure.

He sneered, "Okay, Mr. Moran. Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself for love, I won't stop you. Get all the documents ready. I'll come to pick them up anytime."

Jonathan had already left, but Maurice still stood there in a daze for a long time. He only moved when Corbin came to him.

As soon as Corbin approached Maurice, he asked, "Mr. Moran, are you really going to give up the park project?"

He heard Maurice and Jonathan's entire conversation just now.

Maurice closed his eyes for a while. And when he opened them again, they were full of hatred.

"I will never give up the park project. But now, Eliana's life is what matters the most."

Corbin was a little surprised. He had never seen Maurice behave like this before.

It could be seen that Eliana was really very important to Maurice. He was even willing to risk the future of the Moran family.

"You surprised me. I really didn't expect that you would be willing to bargain away the future of the whole Moran family for a woman related to the White family."

"Yes, Eliana is related to the White family. But she is also the mother of my children, and the woman I love the most in my life. I am willing to do everything for her."

Gerald pressed the pause button of the pen recorder, and the voices suddenly stopped.

Then he turned to Earle and remarked, "Dad, did you hear it? This is what your grandson has done. He is actually willing to sacrifice the entire Moran Group for the sake of a woman related to the White family."

Earle was so shocked by this astonishing fact that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It turned out that Eliana was related to the White family.

This information was not included in the data found by Aleck

At this moment, Earle finally reacted. He suddenly turned his head and shouted at the silent Aleck, "What the hell is going on?"

Before Aleck could say anything, Gerald sneered and said provocatively, "Dad, it's useless to ask him. Aleck has already been bribed by Maurice."

After saying this, he took out a bank transaction record, showing that Aleck had received a huge amount of money from an anonymous sender. And this had happened when he investigated Eliana's background.

This seemed to be irrefutable evidence, pointing to Aleck's betrayal of Earle.

So Earle got more furious. He turned to Aleck and snapped, "Aleck, how dare you betray me!"

"Mr. Moran, please believe me. I never betrayed you. I have never received this amount of money."

Aleck tried to explain, but Earle was so angry that he didn't want to listen at all.

Instead, he shouted, "Fuck off! Get out of my sight. Now!"

Aleck had been working for Earle for years, so he knew Earle very well. Now that Earle was in a fit of anger, he knew it was useless to say anything.

So he just bowed and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Moran, it's my fault that I didn't tell you the truth about it. But you have to believe me. I will never betray you. Whatever happens, my loyalty is to you. I'll go outside first. I'll come back after you calm down."

After saying this, Aleck stooped and walked out of the living room.

Earle looked at Aleck's receding back. He was so angry that his hands trembled slightly.

Gerald saw all this, and he was secretly happy. But he pretended to be sad. "Dad, if we let Maurice go on like this, he will destroy the entire Moran family sooner or later. Eliana is related to the White family. We definitely can't allow her to marry into the Moran family. Dad, don't forget. The White family might have something to do with my brother's death."

As soon as Gerald mentioned Blair, Earle was reminded of what happened back then.

When Blair died, all clues showed that his death was not < accidental.

At that time, he began to suspect if their rival, the White family, had something to do with it.

Gerald had been observing Earle's reaction. And when he saw that Earle seemed to agree with what he said, he was ecstatic.

Actually, after he killed Blair back then, he deliberately created some evidence to point to the White family and let them take the blame for him. In this way, no one would suspect him.

He didn't expect that Eliana was related to the White family. He now realized that his plan at that time was really good. It would kill two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, Earle had fallen into the trap Gerald had set up for him, and he was getting deeper and deeper into it.

He said, "Gerald, Maurice has been completely bewitched by Eliana. This can't go on like this. Although Eliana is related to the White family, the twins are the grandchildren of our Moran family. I must keep them. But as for her... She can't marry into our family."

Chapter 680 What An Ungrateful Son!

Nancy was shocked. She looked at Gerald in confusion and asked, "Gerald, what's wrong with you? This is not the way to the hospital."

Gerald explained perfunctorily, "Mom, I've found a new doctor for Dad. We're going to a different hospital now."

He stared calmly ahead at the road without blinking. And there was no trace of worry on his face at all. Instead, his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

His strange expression sent a chill down Nancy's spine.

Something must be wrong. What Gerald had said and done was weird from the very beginning.

As his mother, Nancy knew Gerald's true character very well. And now, all she felt for him was fear.

While he was not looking, she secretly took out her phone, wanting to send Maurice a message.

But unfortunately, he suddenly turned his head and saw her.

Gerald snatched the phone from Nancy and said gloomily, "Mom, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to contact Maurice?"

Nancy looked at Gerald, feeling like he had totally changed into a different person. She suddenly understood everything.

"Gerald, this is not the way to the hospital. We're not going to any hospital, right? Instead, you want to find a place to put us < under house arrest!"

Gerald didn't expect that Nancy would immediately find out the truth, so he just dropped his pretense.

He asked bluntly, "So what?"

Nancy was shocked for a moment and then gnashed her teeth in rage. The anger wrapped her up and she felt dizzy, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Nancy was so disappointed in Gerald. She couldn't believe this was the son she had given birth to and raised for decades. She had suffered a lot for him. But in the end, he treated her and Earle like this.

She raised her trembling hand and pointed at his nose. She cursed, "You ungrateful bastard! How dare you do this to us! We are your parents. Aren't you afraid of getting your comeuppance?"

Gerald sneered. Even in front of his own mother, he was still cold-blooded.

"Mom, instead of scolding me, how about having some rest?

If you don't want to lie in bed like Dad, be obedient and listen to me. Do you understand?"

Meanwhile, Maurice was in the hospital. He held the test result of the antidote in his hand, and the doctor, with a solemn expression, sat opposite him.

"Mr. Moran, based on the result of our test on the capsule, there is no problem at all. We can say that it should be the most effective medicine for Miss Pierce's disease."

Maurice set aside the report and raised his head. Then he asked seriously, "Can you study its ingredients and make exactly the same one?"

The doctor looked embarrassed. "I'm afraid not. One of the ingredients has been monopolized by Universe Group, and it's not available in the market at all."

Maurice's face darkened at once. The doctor was so scared that he almost couldn't breathe.

Silence stretched in the room. Then finally, Maurice made up his mind.

It seemed that he was left with no choice but to agree with Jonathan's conditions.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and checked who was calling. It was Nancy.

As soon as the call was connected, Nancy's serious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Maurice, have you known that Eliana is a member of the

White family? Why did you lie to us?"

Maurice was surprised.

How did Nancy know the truth?

He was stunned for a moment. But when he came back to his senses, he immediately explained, "Grandma, I didn't..."

But before he could finish his words, Nancy interrupted harshly, "Enough, Maurice! I don't want to hear your explanations anymore. Since Eliana is from the White family, your grandpa and I will never accept her. If you insist on marrying her, we won't attend your wedding. You'd better think about it."

Nancy then hung up the phone without even giving Maurice a chance to speak.

Maurice held his phone tightly. His frown deepened even more.

He felt it strange. What was going on?

Nancy obviously loved Eliana so much. She had been firmly supporting their marriage.

Even if she suddenly found out that Eliana was a member of the White family, she might be shocked and confused, but she would not change her mind so soon. She wouldn't possibly refuse to attend their wedding.

Something must be wrong.

What could have happened at home?
