Ch. 706..710: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 706-710

Chapter 706 We're Family From Now On

After saying their vows, Eliana and Maurice exchanged rings under the blessing of their friends and families.

Under the sun, Eliana's diamond ring shone brightly.

Maurice then gently lifted the white veil covering Eliana’s face.

Eliana's eyes were filled with tears.

The two of them looked at each for a moment, and then they slowly got closer.

It was a solemn and holy kiss.

Eliana slightly closed her eyes and enjoyed the softness of Maurice's lips.

They had kissed each other countless times, but this was definitely their most intimate kiss.

"Wow!"

The guests burst into cheers.

Hiding in the crowd, Gerald glared viciously at the scene in front of him, his eyes red with anger.He had lost almost everything.

Why could Maurice and Eliana live happily when he was miserable? He would never let that happen.He was determined to destroy their perfect lives.

After the kiss, the three children excitedly rushed towards the bride and groom.

Eliana and Maurice held their hands firmly.

Nicole then went on the stage.

To better step into her role as the officiator, Nicole changed up her usual sexy style and for a more mature look.

She wore a simple white satin dress and her hair was tied in a bun, which looked pretty decent.

"Hello everyone.Welcome to Maurice and Eliana's wedding.I'm Nicole, a good friend of the bride, and also the officiator."

No sooner had her voice died out than the audience burst into applause.

Smiling, Nicole went on, "How time flies! I can still remember clearly the day I first met Eliana.

At that time, she was working for Maurice in the Moran Group.

I remember I found that Maurice already had a thing for her.

But back then I couldn't understand how Eliana had been able to attract Maurice.It wasn't until I got to know more about Eliana that I finally understood.

She is an independent woman, a great mother, and a loyal friend.

Now that I know Eliana personally, I have the feeling that she is like a part of Maurice that was lost.

To be honest, they are the most perfect couple I've seen so far.

They've been through so many ups and downs, and it’s such a joy to finally see them get married.

Can we give a round of applause for their love?"

As soon as Nicole said it, the audience cheered and cheered again.

Everyone sent their heartfelt wishes to the newlyweds.

Maurice was excited and he subconsciously looked at Eliana beside him, only to find out that she looked weird.

Maurice's heart suddenly tightened and he asked anxiously, "Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Eliana shook her head and explained in a low voice, "I'm fine, but...Silas, you seem to be too excited.You've been pinching my hand so hard that it hurts now."

Upon hearing that, Silas' face flushed and he quickly loosened his grip.

"I'm sorry, Miss Pierce.I didn't mean to..." the little boy apologized sincerely.

Of course, Eliana didn't blame him.

Instead, she touched his head gently.

"I am your aunt now.We're family from now on."

Immediately, Silas's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Auntie Eliana!’ "That's good."

Eliana gave the little boy a kind smile.

"Great! Silas is now our family!"

Aileen whispered excitedly, holding Adrian's hand.

Adrian rolled his eyes and said, "He's always been our family."

Anyways, the three kids were very happy to be a real family now.

After finishing addressing the audience, Nicole came down from the stage and asked the staff to start the next process.

The next process was a video of Maurice and Eliana’s friends and family's blessing.

The staff soon brought a huge LCD screen and played the video.

Eli's handsome face suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Eliana, although I'm still a little unwilling to accept that I've lost to Maurice, I still want to wish you a happy marriage."

Eliana burst into laughter.

Eli's face in the video was really funny.

Suddenly, there was an accident and the video was stopped abruptly.

Then, Earle's voice suddenly rang out.

"Maurice, since you didn’t listen to me and insisted on marrying this woman, hand over the Moran Group to me and get out of the Moran family!"

"Earle!"

"It's Earle!"

Eliana and Maurice looked at each other in surprise.

Earle's voice was very clear and everyone present heard him.

The senior executives and employees of the Moran Group present were in an uproar after hearing what Earle said.

"Maurice, long time no see!"

Gerald finally showed up.He pushed Earle, who was sitting in a wheelchair, straight to the stage.

Chapter 707 A Sudden Change In The Wedding

It happened so suddenly, and Wyatt was the first to react.

Holding the walkie-talkie firmly in his hand, he shouted anxiously, "Somebody, stop him!"

The bodyguards present immediately rushed up.

"What do you want to do? Take a good look at the man sitting in this wheelchair and let me see if you still dare to move,"

Gerald shouted angrily at the bodyguards who were rushing over to stop him.

The bodyguards stopped and took a closer look at the man sitting in the wheelchair.

The old man had a thick scarf around his neck and was wearing a hat on his head.

Despite this disguise, the guards recognized the man's eyes and eyebrows, which really resembled Earle's.

Seeing that it was indeed the head of the Moran family in the wheelchair, no one dared to act recklessly.

Frowning tightly, Gerald ordered the bodyguards, "Get out of the way!"

The guards gazed at each other for a moment before finally stepping aside to let them pass.

On stage, Maurice stood in front of Eliana and the children to protect them.He didn't take his eyes off Gerald while wearing a frighteningly serious expression.He still couldn't believe that Earle was really with Gerald.

What did they have in mind to do? Why did they show up at this time? With a mischievous grin, Gerald pushed Earle in front of Maurice.

Then he leaned over to Earle, patted him on the arm, and said in a meaningful tone, "Dad, if you have something to say today, just say it in front of everyone."

Earle understood what Gerald expected of him and complied.

He looked up at Maurice and asked angrily, "Maurice, how could you marry this woman! She's related to the White family!"

Earle's words hurt Eliana and her face suddenly turned pale.She couldn't help but look unconsciously at Maurice.

However, Maurice was not one to be intimidated and he said firmly, "Grandpa, I don't care what Eliana's family background is.She is the only woman I would ever marry."

"Bastard! You really disappoint me!"

Earle snapped.He took out a document and angrily threw it at Maurice.

"I will never allow anyone related to the White family to marry into the Moran family! Since you insist on marrying her, sign your name on this document and renounce your position as CEO of the Moran Group.Gerald would now be the new CEO of the company."

Hearing Earle's words, Maurice was stunned.

"You intend to give the company to Gerald?" Maurice asked in shock.

Earle nodded and said firmly, "Yes, he's my only son now, so it's only natural for him to inherit the Moran Group.And I'm not healthy now, so he will have power of attorney and become by the same my legal guardian."

Maurice was even more shocked after hearing Earle’s words.He stared at the nervous man in the wheelchair and had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

Earle knew better than anyone that Gerald was a good-for-nothing.

Earle had worked hard all his life to build the Moran Group.

No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't hand over the company to Gerald so easily.

Moreover, Earle had just said Gerald was henceforth his legal guardian and that he would give him power of attorney.

This was tantamount to giving Gerald absolute power over his life.

Earle would never do something so stupid.

Maurice walked forward slowly, looking straight into Earle's eyes.

Maurice had the deep feeling that something was wrong.

"Grandpa, calm down first, okay? If we fall out on such an important occasion, it will have a great negative impact on the Moran Group."

Earle subconsciously shrank back in the wheelchair and lowered his head.

He pushed Gerald, who was beside him, and said nervously, "You...You deal with it."

A smirk appeared on Gerald's face and he said proudly, "Maurice, you have heard what your grandpa said, right? Hurry up and do as he said."

Now, Maurice knew for sure that something was wrong with Earle.

In the past, no matter how seriously ill Earle had been, he would always stay strong and would never show any vulnerability.

Now, not only did he look scared, but he hid behind Gerald and asked him to handle the matter for him.

Ignoring Gerald, Maurice squatted down in front of Earle and grabbed the latter's hand.

He looked his grandfather in the eye and asked seriously, "Grandpa, are you sure you want to do this?"

Earle's hand shook slightly, and he turned his head hastily to avoid meeting Maurice's eyes.

Seeing this, Gerald feared that Maurice suspected something, so he kicked Maurice in the knee.

"How dare you question your grandpa's decision? If you didn't insist on marrying that bitch, would your grandpa be so furious and fall ill again? It's all your fault.You really disappointed your grandpa.Now, kneel down and apologize!"

Since Maurice had all his attention focused on Earle, he didn't have time to dodge Gerald's attack.

The kick was so heavy that Maurice felt a sharp pain in his knee.He lost his balance and fell on one knee.

At this moment, a hint of morbid joy flashed through Gerald's eyes.

It was such a satisfaction for him to see the arrogant Maurice so humble now.He even managed to force Maurice to kneel down and give him everything.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Earle still didn’t say a word, as if acquiescing in what Gerald had said.

"Maurice!"

Eliana's heart tightened when she saw Maurice been forced on his knee.She anxiously ran to Maurice and helped him up.

"Gerald, are you crazy?" Eliana snapped.

However, Gerald only sneered at her.

"Eliana, you are not a good person! It was Maurice who ruined the Pierce family.You should have avenged your parents, or at least never forgive the one who hurt them.That's what a filial daughter would have done.I didn't expect you to be so cheeky.You turned your back on your parents for power and wealth!"

After Gerald said that, the audience burst into an uproar.It was real chaos

 

Chapter 708 A Chaos Situation

"Oh my! Did I hear him well? What did Gerald mean? Is there any secret behind the bankruptcy of the Pierce Group?"

"I remember that Maurice took over the Pierce Group after it went bankrupt and Eliana's parents died.Does that mean he had carefully planned everything?"

"Does this mean that Maurice is really responsible for the death of Eliana’s parents? And to think that Eliana married him now! What a shame!"

This huge scoop caused a stir among the guests.

Meanwhile, the journalists present had already taken out their cameras and began to film the scene.

"Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Maurice couldn't hold back his anger anymore.His eyes were blood red and blue veins stood out on his neck.He grabbed Gerald by the collar and lifted him up with all his strength.

Gerald laughed wildly.

"What's wrong? Are you angry that I embarrassed you by telling the truth?"

Gerald had been very careful back then not to leave any clues when he harmed the Pierce family.He was therefore certain that Maurice could find no proof to refute his statements.

"you're asking for it!"

Maurice's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.He clenched his fists and threw a punch in Gerald's face.

The two men immediately began to brawl.

"They are fighting!" someone shouted in shock.

The guests all stood up and stepped back in fear.

Seeing that the whole matter had escalated, Eliana was at a loss.

However, she quickly forced herself to calm down.Her experience with Maurice before they finally got married had made her very hardened.

They'd been through so many ups and downs and now they could finally be happy together.So, Eliana would not let anything get in the way of her happiness.

"Nana! Corbin!"

She shouted to the two people who seemed to be in a daze.

"Nana and Corbin, stop anyone from filming the scene and deal with the journalists too.I'll deal with the guests," Eliana said firmly.

Corbin came to his senses and nodded seriously.

"Okay! I'll do it right away."

At this moment, Wyatt also came to his senses and he rushed to separate Maurice and Gerald.

"Stop that now!" Wyatt shouted.

Maurice finally calmed down a little and stopped.He had hit Gerald so hard and so many times that the left side of Gerald's face was swollen.

Now, Gerald hated Maurice even more.

Just now when Maurice and Gerald were brawling, Eliana walked to the stage and bowed to the guests.

"I'm really sorry that you had to witness this mess today.Please go back to the castle and have a rest while we handle this matter."

Looking at the poor bride in front of them, the guests didn't have the heart to embarrass her any further.

They didn't make things more difficult for her and left the wedding site in order.It wasn't until all the guests had left that Eliana finally showed a tired expression.

Adrian and Aileen rushed up and hugged her.

"Mommy, are you okay?" the kids asked with concern.

Silas also came to her, looking worried.

Eliana had to force a smile and comfort the children first.

"Don't worry, darlings, I'm fine.Did it scare you guys?" The kids shook their heads.

Maurice suddenly turned around and said, "Eliana, take the kids away first."

"Okay, be careful," Eliana said, taking a deep look at Maurice.

She then took the children's hands and they left the scene.

As they headed for the exit, Silas kept looking back, and the scene just now kept flashing in his mind.

Maurice was blocking his sight, so he didn't see Earle clearly just now.

However, he had the feeling that Earle was a little strange today.

After hesitating for a while, Silas let go of Eliana’s hand.

"Auntie Eliana, I have the feeling that my great-grandfather is rather strange today, and I want to go back and see what's wrong."

Eliana sighed and said gently, "Silas, it's real chaos there.What if you're in danger when you go there? I am your aunt and I have to protect you.You heard what your uncle said just now, right? Now, let's go back and rest, okay?"

Hearing this, Aileen raised her fist and said seriously, "Silas, don't be afraid.I can protect you too!"

Silas hesitated for a while and finally gave up the idea.

Eliana and the three children continued to walk to the exit and back to the castle.But when they reached the gate, they were stopped by a group of reporters.

The reporters surrounded them and didn't even let the children go.

"Eliana, is what Gerald said true? Did Maurice really make the Pierce Group go bankrupt?"

"Did you know that your husband might be responsible for your parents' death? If you did, why did you marry into the Moran family?"

"Eliana, it seems that Earle doesn't like you.Will you break up with Maurice because of this?"

"Eliana..."

The reporters bombarded Eliana with questions, which annoyed her.

For a moment, even the bodyguards couldn't stop the excited reporters.

In their excitement, the reporters jostled and trampled Eliana, and her white dress was spotted with several footprints.She tried in vain to get rid of these disturbing reporters.

The only thing that mattered to her now was to protect the three children.

Suddenly, a clear male voice was heard.

"Stop bothering such a lovely bride.We're here to give her our blessing, right? If you don't mind, I will answer some of your questions."

Chapter 709 Interview Eli

The crowd turned around and saw Eli, the new rising star, standing in front of them.

Eli waved at Eliana and pushed his way through the people.

"Eliana, it's been a long time."

"Why are you here, Eli?"

Eliana asked, looking at him in shock.

Eli replied coyly, "I had planned to come to have a look and try to keep my sad feelings to myself, but I didn't expect to see such drama."

Eliana shook her head with exasperation, saying, "You must think this is all so ridiculous."

"It's all right,"

Eli comforted her.

Then he turned to the crowd and asked, "Have you made up your mind yet? It's a good opportunity.I promise you that I will tell you everything I know today."

The journalists who were there looked at each other and quickly weighed up their choices.

They hadn't expected a big star who didn’t normally appear so relaxed in public, to be there today.

They suddenly abandoned their idea of questioning Eliana.

They turned around and, aiming their cameras at Eli, asked, "Eli, are all the rumors about Lora and you true?"

"Did you really fall in love with each other after you cooperated with her?"

"Eli..."

As the journalists had turned to question Eli, they had naturally made way for Eliana to pass through.

"Eliana, you go first.I'll take care of everything here."

Standing in front of the journalists, Eli waved his hand to let Eliana leave.

"Thank you."

Eliana was so touched by his kind gesture.She glanced tenderly at him, then took the children's hands and left the venue as quickly as she could.

Eliana was grateful when they finally reached their room.She immediately took off the awkward wedding dress and put on more comfortable clothes instead.

Aileen looked at the wedding dress, hanging up.She felt incredibly sad.

"Shame, Mommy! You were dressed so beautifully today.You haven't even had photos taken yet..."

Eliana came to comfort her, "It doesn't matter, baby.I had photos taken beforehand, just like we did with you last time."

This made Aileen feel better, but then she pouted and said angrily, "It's all that bad guy's fault! If it weren't for him, Mommy and Daddy would have had a perfect wedding!"

Eliana was concerned about Maurice who had remained at the wedding venue.She didn't know how he was doing now.

Finally, she couldn't stand it any longer.

She gathered the three children together and said sternly, "Babies, you stay here.I'm going out to see what's going on.Please be good for me and don't run around, all right?"

Aileen and Adrian immediately wanted to go with her.

"Mommy, Adrian and I also want to see our great-grandpa.He likes us and thus will be compassionate when he sees us."

"Yes, Mommy, please let us go with you."

Eliana had to be firm with the children and replied, "No, babies."

The truth was that at the wedding just now, she sensed that something was not right with Earle.

Earle felt very strongly about the family being united and at peace with each other.

In the past, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't let Gerald hurt Maurice.

But today, he had been on Gerald's side, watching him crush Maurice.It was peculiar.

Besides, she didn't know what was going on out there, so she couldn't let the kids accompany her.

What if they got hurt? "You just stay here and wait for me to return."

The three children lowered their heads, feeling disappointed.

Eliana could not help but soften her tone while saying, "Babies, don't worry.I'll take you with me once I know what's going on, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy...But you must be careful," the twins said as they reluctantly agreed to her decision.

Meanwhile, they heard a knock at the door.

Instantly alert, Eliana asked, "Who is it?"

"Don't worry.It’s me, Nicole," replied the familiar voice from outside.

Eliana was so relieved to hear who it was, and opened the door.

Nicole had just arrived back from the wedding venue.

As soon as she entered the room, Eliana pulled her aside and asked anxiously, "How is it going outside?"

"Don't worry.Nothing serious has happened yet,"

Nicole comforted her.

"Wyatt is still dealing with guests outside.Have a rest while he is busy doing that."

Eliana still felt worried.

"Nicole, please look after the children for me.I must go out and have a look for myself."

Leaving the three children in Nicole's care, Eliana left to see Maurice.

As she walked out of the room, her cell phone rang.

 

Chapter 710 Meet Me Alone

Harriet’s name repeatedly displayed on the phone screen.

Gripping her cell phone firmly, Eliana glared.She wondered what could be the reason for Harriet's call at that time.

The phone kept ringing and was on the verge of disconnecting.

Eliana sighed and answered the call.

"Harriet, why are you calling by this time?"

A cackle came from Harriet's end.

"Why are you being so angry? Isn't today your wedding day? Naturally, I am calling to extend my congratulations.Also, I was greatly amused by the charade at the ceremony."

Did Harriet call to make mockery of her? Eliana sneered, "Have you got anything else to say? If not, I'll end the call."

She moved her phone from her ear to hang up the call.In that instant, Harriet asked a question that caught her interest.

"Eliana, didn't you notice that Earle looked and acted very weird today?" Eliana was startled.

She instantly held her phone against her ear uneasily.

"Harriet, what in the world are you talking about?" Harriet laughed hysterically.

"The person who was at the wedding earlier is not Earle.He is an impostor!"

Eliana was stunned.

Trying to make sense of what Harriet was saying, she asked, "Impostor? What are you talking about?"

"Can you believe that Gerald asked someone else to act as Earle? While in fact, Earle is still in the hospital in a coma."

This shocking revelation caught Eliana off-guard.

Gerald! It was indeed his doing.He hid Earle and got an impostor to destroy her wedding with Maurice.

Reality dawned on Eliana.

"Hold on!" she snapped, "How did you know all these?"

"I know a lot of things," Harriet responded with pride.

"Earle is very sick and Gerald used a doctor I know."

Holding on to her phone tightly, Eliana asked nervously, "Then you know where Earle is currently, right?"

"Great question!"

Harriet eventually got an avenue to bring up her true intention.

"Meet me alone now and I'll tell you where Earle is.Else, I promise that Maurice will never set his eyes on Earle again until he dies!"

Harriet wanted to see her? Eliana became cautious upon her request.She understood that Harriet must have ulterior motives.It would be risky to meet her alone.

"No, I won't meet you."

Eliana turned her down immediately.

"You're a hypocrite!" Harriet said sarcastically.

"Oh, did I tell you that Nancy is also under Gerald's control? You are aware that her health is deteriorating.She cries every day because of Earle lately.Her vision is getting worse.Weren't you her puppet? Because your dream of marrying into the Moran family has come true, she is now nothing in your eyes?" Harriet sounded so harsh.Her words tore through Eliana's heart and made her feel guilty.

It was true that Nancy had been very nice to her.

How could she sit by when Nancy needs help? Eliana was unsettled.She paced to and fro and even to the front of Maurice's room subconsciously.

"Stop!"

Harriet screamed suddenly.

"If you dare inform Maurice about this, Earle and Nancy will die!"

Eliana was startled.She immediately stopped dead in her tracks.

"How can you tell where I am?" Cold shivers ran down her spine.

"You are watching me!"

"You're not so dumb."

Harriet grunted.

"Have you decided what to do? If you walk down the corridor, you would see me at the end.You have just a minute.If I don’t see you after then, you won't be able to get me to say anything!"

Eliana stared at the door of Maurice's room, but couldn't take a step further.

Nancy's lovely face flashed across her mind.She thought twice about meeting Harriet.

"Okay, I assure you that I'm coming," Eliana said, swallowing hard on her spit.

She glanced at the closed door once more then looked away and walked in the other direction.

Every step she took sent her farther away from Maurice's room.

The end of the corridor was so dark and had an ominous air.

Immediately Eliana walked into the darkness, she blinked uncomfortably and saw a face that indeed looked like Harriet.

"I'm here.You..."

She was about to say something to Harriet when a person ran out of nowhere and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

She breathed in the toxic fragrance on the handkerchief, and passed out instantly.
