Maurice casually walked outside to welcome Earle in person. His grandfather often demanded his full attention when he was around. Corbin followed closely from behind with an apprehensive look on his face.

When they saw that Harriet got off the car with Earle, they both frowned at the same time. It was the last thing they expected.

“Grandpa, what a surprise. What brings you here?” Maurice asked in a low voice.

Earle snorted with a long face. “You call me grandpa, yet you still ask why I’m here. Silly boy, I came because of you!”

“What do you want to talk about?”

Maurice furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to be confused.

“Oh, you have no idea whatsoever?” Earle hit the ground heavily with his cane. “Let me ask you, as the owner of the Moon Lake Manor, how can you leave such a beautiful and elegant woman like Harriet alone in the manor after the banquet? Your inconsiderate actions don’t speak well about our family!”

“Sir, it’s not fair to reprimand Mr. Moran for leaving me. Perhaps he really did have something urgent to deal with.”

Holding Earle’s arm, Harriet looked very sincere and respectful.

Maurice narrowed his eyes and felt his hatred for her grow even more.

Hearing her words, Earle lost his temper as Maurice expected.

“Don’t try to fool me, boy. You did it for that shameless tramp, didn’t you? I bet you took Eliana to the manor as well. How could you leave a fine woman like Harriet for her? Eliana is here right now, isn’t she? Answer me!”
