Ch. 716..720: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 716-720

Chapter 715 Fall

"Damn it!"

Maurice blurted out, as he squinted into the sky.His voice startled Corbin.

"Mr.Moran, what’s wrong?"

Automatically, Corbin looked up, following Maurice's movements.

"Oh, my word! Is that person hanging there...Eliana?"

Swaying in the wind in midair above the rooftop, looking as if she would fall at any moment, was a woman's slender figure.

Maurice's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Hurry up! Call the fire department immediately.There is a small platform under the rooftop.If the air mattress is arranged there, there will still be hope!"

"All right! I'll do it immediately!"

His hand trembling with fear, Corbin took out his phone and made a call.

Maurice returned quickly to the castle and hurried to the rooftop with his men.

Maurice ran up to the rooftop as fast as he could.

Kicking open the iron door, he witnessed the carnage on the ground.

It was quite a scene! Several strong men were lying on the ground with bruises all over their faces.

Their hands and feet were tied, and clothes were stuffed in their mouths.

There were still fresh blood stains on the ground.

It was not difficult to imagine what had just happened here.

Maurice ignored the men lying on the ground and ran straight to the figure hanging from the rooftop.He rushed over to the wall, lowered his head, and realized immediately that it was not Eliana.

At that moment, Maurice was unable to think clearly.

He didn't know whether he should be grateful or scared.

Harriet, who had now woken up, felt someone's presence and raised her head expectantly.

"Maurice! Thank God you're here! Help me, please! "

Wonderful! She would finally be rescued! Harriet's face was pale, and dried tears stained her face.She looked at Maurice with hope in her heart.

"Harriet!"

Seeing Harriet's face clearly, Maurice yelled out her name, his face red with anger.

She must have something to do with Eliana’s disappearance! Maurice's eyes shone coldly, "Tell me where Eliana is, now!"

The happiness on Harriet's face froze, and she instantly came to her senses.

Due to her bad relationship with Maurice, it was very likely that he would not rescue her! The thought that she could die at any moment frightened the hell out of her.

Harriet trembled and shouted, "Help me, help me up first!"

"No! Tell me where Eliana is."

Maurice stared at her dangerously, and he remained unmoved upon her request.

Even though Harriet was terrified, her hatred for Eliana at this moment won over her fear of death.

Her face twisted in hatred as she shouted maliciously, "She's dead! That bitch is dead!"

"Surely not!"

Maurice shouted in disbelief.

Even if he didn't believe it, the possibility that Eliana had died still drove him mad.

Maurice saw the knife on the ground and picked it up.

Then he placed the sharp blade against the rope holding Harriet.

"You are lying, Harriet!"

Maurice said in a cold voice, "Tell me where she is, otherwise, I will kill you! * Petrified, tears and snot gushed out of Harriet’s eyes and nose.She desperately begged Maurice for mercy, "Get that knife away from the rope, Maurice! Please don't do this, I beg you.Help! "

Maurice's eyes flashed with fury.

Regardless of her pleading, he continued to cut the fragile hemp rope that held Harriet.

"No! Please, no! "

Shaking her head in a frenzy, Harriet could only watch in despair as the rope was cut.

"Argh!"

As she let out a spine-tingling scream, the rope broke, and Harriet fell toward the ground! With the knife in his hand, Maurice bowed his head and stared at Harriet's falling figure.

With a loud bang, then everything turned quiet again.

But in fact, Harriet wasn't dead.

She landed on the air mattress! : "Mr.Moran!"

Corbin shouted as he rushed anxiously up to the rooftop.

Maurice looked frightening and Corbin couldn't help but gulp subconsciously as he said, "Mr.Moran...We still haven't found Eliana...What would you like us to do now? "

Maurice's heart ached as he looked down at the blood stains on the ground with his bloodshot eyes.

"Keep an eye on that mad woman, Harriet.She must know who took Eliana away!"

Chapter 716 Dream

While on the helicopter, Eliana fell asleep and had a dream.

In her dream, a castle was built on the lakeside, standing under the blue sky.

And the air was filled with the sweet smell of bread and food.

It was like a fairy tale.She and Maurice stood in front of the priest with happy faces, reciting their lifelong vows.

On the side, Eliana's father was looking at them with a smile.Her mother was crying and seemed reluctant to let her marry.Her lovely children, Aileen and Adrian, walked around her and Maurice, asking for their hugs.

Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded, interrupting the happy scene.

"Eliana, I'm sorry, but I can't marry you."

It was Maurice who spoke.He looked at Eliana expressionlessly and said again, "We can't get married."

Eliana's eyes widened in disbelief.

"But why? Don't we love each other?"

Maurice shook his head, looked at her coldly, and said, "You are a descendant of the White family.My grandpa won't agree to our marriage.So for the sake of the Moran family, I have to give you up."

After saying this, he turned around to leave.

Eliana panicked at once.She grabbed his hand tightly and begged, "Maurice, please don't go.Don't leave me."

But despite Eliana's begging, Maurice didn't even look back.He shook her hand off, picked up the two children, and walked away.

Adrian and Aileen cried in unison, "Mommy! Mommy!"

"adrian! Aileen!" Eliana chased after them crazily.

But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't catch up with them.

The next moment, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

All she could do was watch Maurice disappear from her sight with the children in his arms.

"Aileen...Adrian...Maurice...Please don't go...Don't leave me alone!"

Eliana suddenly woke up.She was sweating profusely, and her eyes were full of tears.She looked at the white wall of the ward in a daze, feeling a splitting headache.

It was only then that she realized she was in a hospital.

But what happened? Why was she here? At this moment, the door of the ward suddenly opened.

Then Branson walked in.

"Eliana, you're awake." He rushed to the bed excitedly.

"How are you feeling?"

Eliana was about to answer, but she realized that she was still wearing an oxygen mask.She wanted to take off the oxygen mask, but she suddenly found that her right hand didn't respond.It couldn't feel anything.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all.

What was going on with her right hand? Eliana looked at Branson with shock written all over her face.

Branson understood what she meant, and he helped her take the oxygen mask off.

Once the mask was removed, Eliana asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my hand?"

"Eliana, calm down," Branson comforted her.

"You were seriously injured.The doctor said that your shoulder blade and the bones in your right hand were broken.It will take a while to recover, so you need to have a good rest."

Her bones were broken.

No wonder she couldn't move her right } hand.

Eliana was utterly shocked.

Why couldn't she remember why she was injured? "What the hell happened?"

Branson thought she was asking about Maurice, so he said, "Don't worry.Maurice is fine.And so are the children.We'll talk about it after you recover."

But much to his surprise, Eliana asked in confusion, "Maurice? Who is Maurice?"

Branson was stunned.

"What are you talking about?"

Eliana repeated, "I'm asking you.Who is Maurice? Does he have anything to do with my injury? And where are Aileen and Adrian? How are they?"

Branson was utterly shocked.

Eliana didn't remember Maurice.

How could it be possible? He looked at her face and saw that she had a solemn expression.

It seemed she was not acting at all.She really didn't remember Maurice.

Did she have memory loss? But she remembered Aileen and Adrian.

What was going on? Branson was confused, but he still comforted Eliana, "Wait for a moment.I'll call the doctor, okay?"

After saying this, he was about to rush out of the ward when he met the doctor at the door.

"Doctor, you've come just at the right moment.How is Eliana's condition?" Branson said anxiously.

The doctor looked at the medical record in his hand and said solemnly, "Mr.White, she is seriously injured.It will take at least half a year for her to completely recover, especially her hand.It may be difficult for her to draw a design draft in the future."

Branson had already expected this result.He asked some more questions, "How about her brain? Why couldn't she remember some things in the past?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment.

"Are you saying she lost her memory?" Branson nodded.

"Yes, a part of it."

The doctor wore a serious expression upon Branson's words.He contemplated for a moment and guessed, "I found that she seemed to have taken some psychotropic drugs.In addition, she was

seriously injured this time.It may cause temporary memory loss.But...I'm not sure how long it will last."

Chapter 717 Forgetting

"What? Did you say she used psychotropic drugs before?" Branson asked in shock.

"Yes," the doctor agreed with a sigh.

"Unfortunately, I don’t know what specific drug she took.But I can tell you that whatever drug she took, it has a great impact on her health."

After hearing the doctor explain Eliana’s condition, Branson was stunned for a while.

Although the doctor didn't say much, what he said was enough for Branson to understand that Eliana had been living a tough life.

Branson's heart filled with inexplicable grief at the thought that Eliana had lived a miserable life, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Back then, Eliana’s mother, Ingrid, was determined to leave the White family and marry Lemuel.Her decision was met with strong rejection from the elders of the White family.

Ingrid was a noble lady of the White family.How could they allow her to leave the family and live a hard life? Alas, the sufferings didn't end with Ingrid.

After so many years, her only daughter also suffered a lot.

Branson couldn't help but feel guilty.

If he had known that things ‘I would turn out like this, he would not have followed Eliana’s will.

When he stopped her car last time, he should have taken her away even if it meant taking her by force.

If he had done so, there wouldn't be so much trouble now.But it was useless to regret now.

Now that things have come to this, Branson was very clear that he had to protect Eliana at all costs.

Branson looked at the doctor and said seriously, "Give her the best care you can offer.From now on, the White family will be her support."

The doctor nodded.

"Sure.As doctors, it's our duty to save lives and tend to whoever is sick or injured."

Branson breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, his face darkened.He added even more seriously, "Ask the whole staff here to keep their mouths shut.Don't let Eliana know anything about Maurice.Do you understand?"

There was something in Branson's gaze that gave the doctor chills and he quickly agreed.

"I understand, Mr.White.Don't worry.She will never know what she shouldn't know."

Since the doctor promised, Branson felt relieved and he left the hospital.

In the ward, lying on the bed, Eliana looked around blankly.

When she woke up, the only thing she could think about was her two children.But now that she had calmed down, she felt so empty in her heart.

She had the feeling she'd forgotten something important.

To be more specific, she actually felt like she had forgotten an important person...

Who could it be? Suddenly, some fragments of memory flashed through her mind.

Eliana tried hard to capture those blurry images, but the efforts to recall them only made her feel an immense pain in her brain.

But what hurt the most was her heart.It hurt so much that she was almost unable to breathe.

That was so strange.She only hurt her head and hands...

Why then did her heart ache so much? Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Moran Group's building, a ES meeting was being held to decide the fate of the Moran Group.

This time the meeting was chaired by Gerald, and next to him was the fake Earle, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

With the support of 'Earle', Gerald was very confident.

Gerald's lawyer wasted no time and announced 'Earle's' decision at once.

"Mr.Earle Moran decided that Mr.Gerald will replace Maurice as CEO of the Moran Group from now on.Mr.Gerald will be in charge of all the affairs of the Moran Group.All departments within the Moran Group must submit their reports immediately."

Hardly had the lawyer's voice faded away than a heated discussion broke out in the meeting room.

"The company will be managed by Gerald? What about Mr.Maurice Moran?" a shareholder asked cautiously.

"Yes! Where is Mr.Maurice Moran now?" another senior manager asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Gerald sneered, "Maurice just lost his bride at the wedding.I'm afraid he's not in the mood to deal with any business now.He can't be here..."

"Who said I couldn't be here?"

Before Gerald could finish his words, a familiar voice rang out in the meeting room.It was Maurice! He was here!

Chapter 718 Examine Earle

"It's Mr.Moran! He's back!"

The shareholders and senior executives of the Moran Group were excited to see Maurice show up at this critical moment.However, Maurice looked completely different right now.He who used to be lively and vigorous, now looked very haggard.He had dark circles under his eyes and his face was a bit pale.

Nonetheless, he still had that same cold stare that made everyone who met his eyes shiver in fear.

"Mr.Moran looks exhausted." someone remarked.

"Well, his bride got missing at their wedding, and he had been looking for her for so long."

"I thought he fell into a deep depression after his fiancée disappeared.I didn't expect he would show up!"

Maurice's sudden return caused a lively discussion in the meeting room.

"Long time no see, my dear nephew!"

Gerald greeted Maurice playfully, looking very confident.However, Maurice didn't even glance at him.He passed Gerald and I walked straight to "Earle".

The fake Earle was sitting on a wheelchair, still wearing a hat and I scarf.

Seeing that Maurice was walking towards him, he backed away.He had shifty eyes and his expression was quite weird.

Before Maurice say anything to "Earle", Gerald nervously rushed to stand in front of "Earle" and blocked Maurice.

"What do you want to do? Dad doesn't want to see you now.Go away!"

Gerald shouted anxiously.

Maurice remained unmoved at Gerald's hostile manner.

Instead, he turned back and ordered Corbin who was standing behind him, "Bring Dr.Sampson in."

Corbin nodded and walked out.

Gerald's face suddenly changed at the mention of a doctor.He looked at Maurice with fear and asked, "Maurice, what are you doing?"

"Since Grandpa is sick, I have the obligation to treat him."

Although Maurice was talking to Gerald, his eyes were fixed on "Earle" the whole time.

"I don't agree!" Gerald was restless now.

If "Earle" was really examined by a doctor, his lie would be exposed! "] have been taking care of Dad all the time.Who knows if your doctor is reliable! I will never let your doctor treat him," Gerald shouted anxiously.

Maurice raised a brow and said calmly, "This doctor was specially hired by the Stone family to take care of Grandpa's health before.Moreover he also performed an operation for Grandpa in the past.He knows Grandpa's health condition best."

"No way!" Gerald still strongly opposed.

Seeing this, Maurice sneered, "Gerald, why are you so nervous? Why won't you let the doctor examine Grandpa?"

Gerald panicked.

Didn't Harriet assure him that she had hid the doctor? How could Maurice find that doctor now? Gerald broke out in a cold sweat.He desperately wanted to stop Maurice.But at that moment, everyone in the meeting room was staring at him.

Maurice's reasoning was plausible, and he had no reason to object to the doctor treating "Earle".Soon, Corbin brought Eugene in.

"Dr.Sampson, please examine my grandpa," Maurice said seriously.

Eugene nodded and walked forward.He put his hands on "Earle's"

wheelchair and said with a serious expression, "Mr.Moran, don't worry.I'll take Mr.Earle Moran out for a careful examination now."

The fake Earle freaked out and looked at Gerald for help.

Seeing that his accomplice was about to be taken out, Gerald completely panicked.

"Wait, you can't take him away!" Gerald shouted.

He was about to walk up to stop Eugene, but Maurice immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Maurice asked meaningfully.

Everyone in the room had noticed Gerald's strange behavior and they were all confused.

"Mr.Earle Moran is just taken for a physical examination.Why is Gerald so nervous?" someone remarked.

Gerald swallowed hard.His throat was dry.

Of course he was nervous! How could he not be? If the lie was exposed, he would be doomed.

Seeing the suspicious looks everyone in the room were giving him, Gerald no longer dared to act rashly.He could only sit back in his seat, with sweat trickling down his forehead.

The waiting time was a real torture for Gerald who couldn't sit still as he was so restless.

Sweating profusely, Gerald looked outside from time to time.

Staring playfully at his restless uncle, Maurice handed him a glass of water and sneered, "You seem uncomfortable! Here, drink some water."

Gerald took the glass.

But his trembling hand made it hard for him a to hold the glass steadily.

As a result, the glass fell to the ground and broke.

A cold smile appeared on Maurice's face when he saw the look of fear on Gerald's face.

"Uncle Gerald, you are far too weak psychologically for a member of the Moran family."

Chapter 719 His Decision Doesn't Count

Gerald felt embarrassed by Maurice's words.He glared at Maurice and snapped, "How dare you judge me? I don't think you deserve to be a member of the Moran family either.It's only been a few days since Eliana disappeared and you're already so miserable!"

However, Maurice completely ignored Gerald's words and asked coldly, "Where's Grandma? Where is she?"

Avoiding Maurice's gaze, Gerald said perfunctorily, "She doesn't want to see you for now.You don't need to know where she is."

Maurice sneered.

"Really? Gerald, grandmother loves Eliana very much.Even though she is not happy with Eliana being a member of the White family and she does not accept our marriage, she will definitely show up after learning that Eliana is missing.Unless...Unless she is under house arrest."

No sooner had Maurice finished speaking than Gerald froze.He felt that something was wrong.Had Maurice uncovered his plan? Gerald was suddenly very nervous and he smiled awkwardly.

"Maurice, what are you talking about? Mr.Earle Moran is still here.How could he let someone threaten his wife?"

As Gerald spoke, he laughed exaggeratedly, as if he was hiding something.

Maurice stared at him coldly without saying anything.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very tense.

The shareholders and senior executives of the Moran Group who were there, lowered their heads and kept silent.

They didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Maurice and Gerald.

After a long time, Eugene pushed "Earle" back into the room.

"What do the test results show?" Maurice asked calmly to Eugene.

With a serious look on his face, Eugene said, "Earle's condition is very serious.He almost can't recognize people and can't even clearly remember the heart treatment he has recently.I think he's lost the ability to act on his own."

"What? Mr.Earle Moran is so seriously ill?" someone in the room exclaimed in a low voice.

"This explains a lot.I've been wondering why he seemed so strange just now."

"Does that mean he can't make a decision on his own?"

The doctor's diagnosis caused a heated discussion in the conference room.

After the discussion in the room had died down, Maurice's voice rang out.

"Everyone has heard the doctor's conclusion.So, by law, Grandpa's decision to give the company to Gerald is null and void as he made that decision after he lost his ability to act on his own."

Barely had Maurice finished speaking when Gerald shouted in anger, "I don't agree! How can you say that?"

Gerald was anxious when he heard that he might lose his best chance to finally get control of the Moran Group.His plan was working just fine until Maurice showed up.He couldn't give up now.

Hearing Gerald's objection, Eugene was annoyed.He glared at Gerald and said seriously, "Mr.Gerald Moran, if you don't trust my diagnosis, you can ask other doctors who have treated Mr.Earle Moran before to do a double check together.You will then know if my diagnosis was right or not."

At this point, Gerald didn't dare to say more.

A single doctor had already caused him big problems.

If more doctors got involved, his lie would definitely be exposed! Gerald lowered his head and secretly winked at the fake Earle.

His best bet at this point was to prove that "Earle" could still act on his own.

If he could do that, then the contract where Earle handed the company over to him was still valid and all problems would be solved.

Unfortunately for Gerald, before he and his accomplice could communicate, Maurice stood between them.

Maurice walked to "Earle" and whispered something in his ear.

The fake Earle's face changed immediately.He looked at Maurice in horror and said with a trembling voice, "I...I think the doctor is right.I'm surely seriously ill.We'll talk about changing the CEO later."

"What? What is the meaning of that?" Gerald snapped.He couldn't let his plan be destroyed so easily.He gritted his teeth as his expression became fierce.

"I'll take you to the doctor now!"

As soon as he said that, he pushed "Earle" towards the door and was about to run away.

However, the door was already blocked by Maurice’s men. Even Sean couldn't run as he was stopped by Corbin. Gerald and his accomplice had no way to escape!

Chapter 720 Exposed

The presence of the bodyguards caused a tense atmosphere, and the j conference room was in an uproar.

"Everyone, quiet!"

Maurice abruptly ordered in a cold voice.

"Mr.Moran, what...What is the meaning of this? What do you want to do?"

All the people in the conference room trembled in fear.

After saying just a few words, why did it seem like Gerald and Maurice were about to fight? And why did Earle go back on his words and suddenly stop changing the CEO? Everyone was confused as to what was going on.

Seeing those panic-stricken faces, Maurice comforted them, "This is just a family matter.You have nothing to do with this, so don't panic.The meeting is adjourned.You can go back to work now.But remember not to tell anyone what has happened here today.Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded their heads vigorously.

At this time, the director of the public relations department raised his hand apprehensively.

"Mr.Moran...How do we explain this I meeting to the public?"

Maurice thought for a while.

Then he replied, "Tell the public that my marriage has affected the image of our company, so today's meeting was called to deal with the matter.I don't want to hear any bad rumors about Moran Group."

"But Mr.Moran, if we say that, I'm afraid the public opinion will be very unfavorable to you." The director was a little confused.

"It's okay.Just do as I say.At this stage, it's better for the public to focus on me.In that case, nothing will happen to Moran Group."

Maurice still wore a calm expression.

It seemed he was able to endure everything.

Everyone was shocked when they heard his words.

They didn't expect that he would sacrifice himself for the sake of the Moran Group.

The director was even more moved.He nodded and said, "Yes, Mr.Moran.I understand.We'll handle this matter immediately."

"Alright.The meeting is adjourned."

Maurice announced that the meeting was dismissed.

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, Maurice was still the head of Moran Group.

This made the employees and shareholders feel at ease.

Soon, everyone walked out of the conference room, leaving only the members of the Moran family.

Gerald was furious because his plan to get control of Moran Group went down the drain due to Maurice.He almost got the position of CEO.He was only one step away from owning the entire Moran

Group! But why? Why did Maurice have to ruin everything? Gerald felt like he was about to lose his mind.

He stared at the fake Earle fiercely and questioned angrily, "This is all your fault! Why did you suddenly change your mind? Don't you know how important this matter is to me? I've spent so much effort in this, but everything was in vain."

The fake Earle was stunned by Gerald's yelling.He lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Gerald's anger towards the fake Earle was too obvious.It was as if he no longer feared or respected the old man who had dominated the business world for most of his life.

Even the bodyguards looked at Gerald in shock.

Gerald only realized what he had done when he finished venting his anger.He was stunned for a moment.His heart skipped a beat.He was so anxious to make amends that he said in a panic, "Dad, I'm sorry.I was too emotional just now, and I couldn't control my emotions.I..."

"Enough, Gerald! Haven't you acted enough?"

Maurice interrupted before Gerald could finish apologizing.

"Do you know what I said to him just now that made him change his mind?"

A strong sense of uneasiness rose in Gerald's heart.

"what did you tell him?"

Maurice was too calm, so Gerald knew something must be wrong.

Besides, from the moment Maurice entered the conference room, he had been confident.

Why was he so confident? "Well, I told him...I already know he is not my real grandpa.If he still wants to continue this farce, I will make him die miserably."

Maurice's low and deep voice was so cold that it could make people shiver.

Gerald froze.His mind went blank for a moment.It turned out that Maurice already knew everything.He trembled in fear and asked, "Since when did you know?"

"The day of the wedding," Maurice replied calmly.

"That's impossible! How can you know so soon?" Gerald's eyes widened in disbelief.

What could have gone wrong? As far as he could remember, his acting was flawless.

Maurice couldn't have seen through him.

Maurice stared at the hysterical Gerald with contempt and pity in his eyes.

It was as if he was looking at an amusing clown.

"Gerald, you really don't know Grandpa at all.Even if he doesn't approve of Eliana, he won't make a fuss during my wedding.He won't disregard the reputation of the Moran family.And he won't let you hurt me unscrupulously because no one knows how to cherish a family better than him!"
