Maurice was able to hear Eliana’s voice, despite the fact that she was speaking in a whisper.

Finally, this lady came to terms with the fact that he had been wonderful to her.

“Why do you think that is?” Maurice said to Eliana as if on purpose to taunt her.

Eliana flushed and her eyes darted as the man’s hot breath dropped on her face.

“I’m a member of the Pierce family, so I’m guessing you want to make up for me in some way?”

Hodge said that Maurice was aware of her Pierce ancestry and that she had come to investigate him, but he kept her by his side anyhow. In the end, why wouldn’t he try to make amends?

Eliana was confident in the logic of her reasoning.

“Haven’t you realized it yet? That I’m not the puppeteer backstage?” Maurice pointed out.

“I know, but you acquired the Pierce Group, didn’t you?”

Yet another factor remained hidden because Eliana couldn’t bring it up. Before he passed out, Hodge had uttered the word “Moran.” Even while it didn’t seem that he was referring to Maurice, the Moran family was clearly involved.

She had spent a long time looking into the matter, but it was still a mystery to her.
