Ch. 721..725: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 721-725
Chapter 721 Watch The Fight
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Needless to say, the result was a foregone conclusion.Gerald's face darkened.But he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Ha-ha! Maurice, even if you know it, so what? I have locked Dad up, and Mom is also in my hands."
Maurice was not too surprised.He looked calm, but he said in a cold tone, "Gerald, you are a bastard."Gerald didn't seem to hear Maurice's ridicule.
He continued, "You are indeed a family.Mom said the same words to me.You know what? When I told Mom my plan, she didn't show any signs of fear at all.Instead, she told me calmly that I would definitely fail.And when I asked her why, she said because you would stop me.Isn't it funny? Even if all the chips are in my hands, she still thinks you will win."
Gerald's voice trailed off, then he fell into deep thought.
What was in his mind after he heard Nancy say those things? Of course, he didn't believe it.
Who did Maurice think he was? He was the one who had the upper hand.
How could he lose? So he only laughed at Nancy.
"Stop your wishful thinking.The Moran Group will soon be mine.And your dear grandson will be doomed."
He could still remember his rhetoric before.But now that things had come to this point, even if he was not reconciled, so what? He still lost.
Maurice's brows furrowed tightly.
Actually, he didn't want to waste his time on Gerald.So he said, "Gerald, I don’t have time to chat with you.So hurry up and hand over my grandparents.As for you, I will send you abroad according to Grandpa's original plan.But I'm not Grandpa, so I won't be softhearted to you.You will live abroad, and you can never come back for the rest of your life."
Maurice loved his grandparents, and he couldn't bear to break their hearts.But he couldn't let Gerald go just like that.
Gerald had to pay for what he had done.
When Gerald heard Maurice's words, he sneered, "Maurice, I'm not that stupid.Dad is my last bargaining chip.Why should I give him to you easily?"
While they were in a stalemate, Corbin hurriedly walked in, holding Sean with a drooping head.
He pushed Sean in front of Maurice and said excitedly, "Mr.Moran, Sean has already told me everything he knows."
Gerald was utterly shocked.He stood up angrily and shouted, "Sean, you're a traitor! How dare you betray me!"
Gerald was so angry that he gave Sean a few kicks.Sean was not able to dodge in time, so he was hit hard.His leg was badly hurt.
"Enough! I've really had enough of you!"
At this moment, Sean broke out in an emotional outburst.He had been working for Gerald for quite a long time.But at this moment, he was driven into a corner.So he didn't care anymore if Gerald was his boss.He took this opportunity to vent all the resentment that had accumulated in his heart over the years.
"Gerald, ever since I worked for you, I never lived a good life anymore.If I changed jobs these years, I wouldn't end up like this."
"Okay, fine! It turns out this is what you really feel.Have you long wanted to betray me? I will teach you a lesson today."
Gerald trembled in anger, and his eyes turned red.He pounced on Sean and began to wrestle with him.
"Come on! I have long been tired of you."
Sean's bloodshot eyes didn't show any sign of fear at all.He gathered his strength and fought with Gerald, punching after punching to vent the anger he had suppressed over the years.He didn't show mercy anymore.
Gerald didn’t expect that Sean, who had always been his obedient secretary, was so good at fighting.
After a few rounds, he was no match for Sean at all.
In the end, he was pinned down on the floor and beaten black and blue.
Corbin was dumbfounded by the funny scene in front of him.
Then he turned to Maurice and asked, "Mr.Moran, shall we stop them?"
But Maurice just stood still, watching Gerald and Sean hitting each other.
"Don't worry.They won't beat each other to death.When they are done, we'll take Gerald with us to find Grandpa."
Chapter 722 The Accident
Inside the black Lincoln, Corbin sat in the driver's seat with Maurice in the passenger seat.
Gerald and Sean sat in the back seat.
The farce in the Moran Group building ended with Sean winning.
By the time Sean felt he had vented his anger enough, Gerald was already beaten black and blue.
In the end, Maurice took both of them to the car.
Maurice looked back and asked coldly, "What's the address?"
"Filialness Sanatorium,"
Sean immediately shouted.
Corbin turned on the GPS and drove to the sanatorium.
In the back seat, Gerald covered his bruised and swollen face, staring at Sean with red eyes.He got so worked up that he pointed at Sean's nose and cursed, "Sean, you traitor! I treated you well.If not for me, you are nothing.How dare you betray me! Do you still have any conscience?"
But Sean didn't waver at all.He retorted without hesitation, "Bah! What a pack of lies! Save your breath, Gerald."
As a result, Sean and Gerald fought fiercely again.
Maurice didn't mind them.He was so worried about Earle that he didn't even want to talk to them.
When Corbin heard Gerald's words, he also couldn't help satirizing, "Gerald, don't argue anymore.If you really treated Sean well, how could he betray you at this critical moment?"
Actually, his life trajectory was similar to Sean's.It was just that their lives were totally different.
Corbin couldn't help recalling the days when he worked as Maurice's assistant these years.
Although Maurice was a sharp-tongued man, he felt Maurice's kindness to him.
So it was not surprising that he was loyal to Maurice.
Even if Gerald was the one who won today, he would never betray Maurice.
With this thought, Corbin couldn't help but secretly glanced at Maurice beside him.
Maurice was leaning against the back of the seat with his eyes closed.His face was a little pale, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Stubble had already grown on his chin too.
It was hard to imagine that he was an energetic and high-spirited man before.
Ever since Eliana had an accident at the wedding, Maurice had been looking for her.He hadn't slept for several days now.
Aside from that, he had to find a way to deal with Gerald too.So he was exhausted and in a very bad state.
Now that Gerald was in his hands, he must be able to find Earle and Nancy soon.So Maurice could finally relax even a little.
Corbin secretly prayed for Maurice in his heart.
He really hoped that all these bad things would end as soon as possible and Maurice could find Eliana.
Otherwise, Maurice would not be able to hold on.
At this time, the traffic light turned red, so the car stopped at an intersection.
There was pin-drop silence in the car.
Looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Gerald broke out in a cold sweat and became more and more flustered.
They were getting closer and closer to the sanatorium where he hid Earle.
If Maurice found Earle, he would be doomed.
Gerald turned his head and looked at Maurice.
It was only then that he found Maurice leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.
He seemed to be sleeping.
No! He couldn't admit defeat just like that.
At the thought that Maurice was asleep, why didn't he try to fight back? A hint of cruelty flashed through Gerald's eyes as he made the decision in an instant.
Then the red light turned green.
The moment Corbin started the car, Gerald suddenly pounced at him crazily.
Corbin's attention was all on the road, so he didn't notice what Gerald was doing.
Gerald grabbed his neck and tightly strangled it.
"Gerald...What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Corbin struggled hard, coughing and cursing.
Since he was strangled by Gerald, he couldn't hold the steering wheel anymore, and the car went out of control.
Maurice was suddenly awakened.
When he opened his eyes and saw this scene, he immediately turned to help Corbin.
But it seemed that Gerald had already lost his mind.
He held on to Corbin tightly and refused to let go.
While they were entangled, the car rushed forward.
And since it was out of control, it crashed into the car in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, the car ran off the road.
And with a loud bang, it finally hit a tree on the roadside.
The cars around them were all affected.
They were in a mess, crashing into each other one after another.
The car window instantly shattered, and a huge impact hit the people in the car.
After the collision, Corbin, in the driver's seat, was the most severely injured.
His head lay on the steering wheel, and his face was covered with blood.
Maurice was also injured, and he immediately fainted.
Among them, only Gerald stayed awake.
He struggled to open the door, wanting to escape.
But the next moment, someone grabbed him by the hand.
"Don't go away..."
Corbin pulled Gerald back with all his remaining strength.
"Let go of me," Gerald said fiercely, shaking off his hand.
"I haven't lost yet.You just wait and see.I'll come back to get even with you."
After saying this, Gerald got out of the car, and stumbled to the middle of the road.
Chapter 723 His Family And Enemy
When Corbin saw Gerald running towards the road, he turned his head and called out to Maurice with difficulty.
"Mr.Moran...Mr.Moran...Please wake up.Gerald is running away again."
Corbin wanted to chase after Gerald.But his legs were stuck, so he couldn't move right now.
At this critical moment, Maurice’s breathing became heavy, and his eyelids trembled.
Then he coughed violently.
Finally, he opened his eyes, regaining his consciousness.
"Mr.Moran...Gerald has..."
Corbin was gasping for breath, so he almost couldn't speak.
Upon hearing this, Maurice tilted his head slightly and forced himself to look out the window.
Indeed, he saw Gerald limping away.
"Mr.Moran, hurry up..." Corbin urged.
Maurice could see that Corbin's condition was not good, so he comforted him immediately, "Take care of yourself first.You are more important than Gerald.I'll go after him."
Maurice raised his hand and was about to unfasten his seat belt.But before he could do so, a loud honk sounded outside.He subconsciously looked out of the window.
Then he saw a large white truck speeding towards Gerald, who was standing in the middle of the road.It could be seen that Gerald was too shocked to move.
In the blink of an eye, Gerald's body was sent flying by the truck more than ten meters away.
Then he fell heavily on the ground, rolled several circles in a row, and finally stopped.
Everything happened so fast that there was no time to stop it.
There was nothing Maurice could do but just watch the tragedy happen.
At this moment, he looked at Gerald lying on the ground, not knowing whether Gerald was dead or alive.His mind went blank all of a sudden.
Maurice only came back to his senses when he had severe tinnitus.He unfastened his seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car.
When his feet touched the ground, he felt so weak that he almost fell.He grabbed the door tightly and steadied himself.
Maurice took a deep breath and staggered towards the direction where Gerald fell.
And when he approached Gerald, he found Gerald lying in a pool of blood, and his body twisted unnaturally.Judging from Gerald's condition, Maurice knew he wouldn't survive.
This idea popped up in his mind uncontrollably.
"Ahhh! Someone is hurt! Call an ambulance!"
The people around started screaming in fright, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Gerald, who was lying on the ground and obviously in severe pain, raised his eyes and looked at Maurice.His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.
Maurice subconsciously crouched down and approached him.
Gerald gathered all his remaining strength and grabbed Maurice's collar with his trembling hand.He opened his mouth again.
But the next moment, a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth.
"Ah...Ah..."
Gerald couldn't even utter a word.
Maurice realized that Gerald couldn't say anything anymore.
Gerald could only stare at him with hatred.His gaze never left Maurice until he couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyes gradually closed.
When the last gleam of light in his eyes was extinguished, his grip on Maurice loosened, and his hand fell heavily on the ground.
Maurice was in a daze.
Mixed emotions overwhelmed his heart at the moment.He hated Gerald to the core.
Gerald killed his parents and sister and ruined his family.He was also the reason for the Pierce Group's bankruptcy and the miserable fate of the Pierce family and Eliana.
Maurice wanted to kill Gerald, but he had to take his grandparents into consideration.He didn't want them to hold a funeral again for their son.
So he could only endure the immense hatred in his heart.
And exiling Gerald from the country forever was his last bottom line.
But Gerald did too many evil things, and finally it was God who punished him.
Everything was finally coming to an end.
At this moment, more and more people gathered around them.
Maurice gave Gerald, his family and enemy, one last look.
Then he turned around and slowly walked out of the crowd.
Right now, Corbin had already gotten out of the car and staggered over.
"Mr.Moran, how...How is Gerald?" Corbin asked anxiously, looking at the crowd not far away.
Maurice's face was pale, and his eyes were blank.It was as if he hadn't heard Corbin's voice at all.
"Mr.Moran..."
Corbin sensed something was wrong, and he wanted to help Maurice.But the next moment, Maurice suddenly fell back to the ground and became unconscious.
"Mr.Moran!" Corbin screamed in fear and rushed over to Maurice.
Chapter 724 Meet In A Dream
When Maurice opened his eyes, there was nothing but darkness.He couldn't see anything.His mind was a mess.
What happened? Where was he? What about Eliana? He was going to find her.
This was the only thing left in his mind.
At this moment, there was a light in the distance.
Maurice's eyes lit up.He staggered to his feet and walked towards the direction where the light was coming from.He didn't know how long he had been walking.
But this time, he saw bright lights in the sky.
And under the sky full of lights, he saw Eliana in a wedding dress.
"Eliana!" Maurice shouted at once.
Eliana turned around and smiled at him.
Then she slowly walked towards him, took his hand, and led him forward.
"Eliana, I finally found you."
He held her slender hand tightly and said excitedly, "Where have you been these days? Are you hurt? Grandpa doesn't have any objection to our relationship anymore.The truth has come out.It's all Gerald's fault."
Maurice had said a lot, but Eliana didn't reply a word.She just quietly led him forward until they completely walked out of the darkness behind them.
Then she let go of his hand.
Maurice was flustered.
"Eliana..."
He quickly grabbed her hand again and asked, "Eliana, what's wrong with you? Why are you letting go of my hand? Aren't we going back together? Do you know how much I miss you? Our children are waiting for you.They miss you so much too.Are you going to leave the three of us again?"
Maurice was overwhelmingly emotional.
Suddenly, a drop of hot tears fell on his hand, making him step back.
Then Eliana disappeared.
"Eliana, no!"
Maurice screamed and opened his eyes.
Lying in bed, he looked around.He found that he was surrounded by the white hospital walls.
There was no darkness, no light, and most of all, no Eliana.
Everything was just a dream.He turned his head to the side and saw that Corbin had already fallen asleep on the bedside.
Corbin's head was pressed on his hand, which had an infusion, making his entire arm numb.
Sure enough, Corbin was still so unreliable.
Looking at Corbin, Maurice was amused and helpless at the same time.
Then he thought of his dream just now, and he couldn't help feeling sorry.
If his arm didn't feel numb because of Corbin, he might have spent more time with Eliana, even if they could only meet in a dream.
In the past few days that they were apart, she never appeared in his dream.
And when he finally saw her in his dream, he was awakened before he could even take a good look at her.
Maurice was still lost in thought when Corbin woke up in a daze.
Seeing that Maurice was looking at him, he exclaimed, "Mr.Moran, you're finally awake! This is great! Let me call the doctor."
Then he rushed to the door and shouted, "Doctor!"
But Maurice stopped him.
"Hey, calm down.Tell me, what's wrong with me?"
"Mr.Moran, you suddenly passed out.You've scared me to death.Fortunately, I was not seriously injured in the car accident, so I was able to find a hospital nearby."
Corbin still couldn't help feeling terrified when he recalled the car accident.
There was a moment of silence.Then Maurice asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Corbin scratched his head and said, "Actually, the doctor said you didn't really faint.It was just that you were too tired, so you fell asleep.But you slept the entire day.It really scared me."
Barely had Corbin finished his words when the doctor came in.He walked to the bedside and checked Maurice carefully.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
"Mr.Moran, you are fine now.You can be discharged and just rest at home for a few days."
"Did I sleep the entire day?"
After the doctor had left, Maurice frowned and asked.
"What about Grandpa? Have you taken him and Grandma back?"
"You have nothing to worry about now, Mr.Moran.I dealt with everything when you were asleep.Your grandparents are now safe and sound," Corbin replied.
It was only then that Maurice breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he asked, "How is Grandpa?"
"He is fine.But..."
Corbin paused for a moment before he continued, "He doesn't know yet about what happened to Gerald."
Chapter 725 He Has Changed A Lot
Although Maurice had seen it with his own eyes, he was still stunned when he heard Corbin say Gerald was dead.
The scene when Gerald was hit by the truck and fell to the ground a few meters away flashed in his mind.
And when he recalled Gerald's image lying in a pool of blood, his heart skipped a beat.
This time, it was not a dream.
Gerald was really dead.
Maurice's heart was filled with mixed emotions, but he could only sigh.He looked at the back of his hand, pulled out the infusion needle, and lifted the quilt.He wanted to get out of bed.But Corbin hurriedly stopped him.
"Mr.Moran, you still need to rest for now." Maurice shook his head.
"The doctor said I'm fine, and I can go home.Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for me.We have to go."
"No!" Corbin retorted loudly.
"You just had a car accident.Even if the doctor said you are fine, you still need a good rest."
"No need." Maurice insisted.
"Mr.Moran, your grandparents have already lost two sons.If they see their only grandson look like this, their hearts will definitely be broken.Do you have the heart to hurt them again?"
Maurice felt Corbin made sense, so he was finally persuaded.He didn’t insist anymore.
Instead, he lay back on the bed.
Then he asked, "What about you? Are you okay?"
He looked at Corbin's bandaged forehead worriedly.
When the car accident happened, Corbin seemed to be seriously injured.
"Oh, this?"
Corbin touched the gauze on his forehead and smiled.
"Don't worry.I'm okay.It's no big deal."
As soon as he said this, Nana suddenly rushed into the ward, crying.She hugged Corbin tightly and said bitterly, "Corbin, you scared me to death! I thought you were dead."
As she cried, she hammered his chest with her small fist.
"Hey, don't cry now.I'm fine."
Corbin held Nana in his arms and comforted her.Her tearful eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
Nana cried even more hysterically and complained loudly, "I called you, but you didn't answer.If I hadn't seen the news, I wouldn't have known you got into a car accident.I've already lost Eliana.I can't lose you anymore."
Corbin was flustered upon hearing Nana's last two sentences.His heart skipped a beat.He hurriedly glanced at Maurice and covered Nana's mouth with his hand.
"Okay, it's all my fault.Beat me or scold me if you want.Just don't say anything more."
It was only then that Nana came to her senses.
When she realized what she had just said, her face turned pale.She subconsciously looked at Maurice on the bed with an extremely embarrassed expression.
Everyone knew that Eliana's disappearance made Maurice distressed.
Recently, no one dared to mention this matter.
For a moment, there was dead silence in the ward.
Corbin looked at Maurice apprehensively, fearing that he was sad and angry.He was also worried that Maurice would vent his anger on Nana.
But much to Corbin's surprise, Maurice didn't do anything drastic.
Instead, Maurice comforted Nana.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry," Maurice said, shaking his head.
"Take Corbin out and ask the doctor to check on him.Don't let any sequela happen."
Nana and Corbin obediently walked out of the ward, but they were still in a daze.
Nana couldn't help sighing, "The power of love is really great.Compared to before, Maurice has really changed a lot.Even his attitude toward me has changed.After Eliana disappeared, he looked for her.He took the children to work every day and took care of everything.Why didn't I realize before that Maurice was also a good man?"
Corbin agreed with Nana, "Indeed, Mr.Moran has changed a lot.And it’s all because of Eliana.But she is missing now."
When he said this, the two of them could only sigh at the same time.They had the same question in their hearts: Where was Eliana?
