Maurice stuck his head out of the window and called anxiously, “Eliana!”

“I’m here!”

Eliana stood on the edge of the window sill, her back firmly against the wall. She was in a very dangerous position and she knew it. In fact, she was so scared that her whole body was shaking.

Maurice was relieved to see that she was fine.

However, Eliana was furious with Maurice and didn’t wait to be safe inside to take out her anger on him.

“Maurice, it’s all your fault! Why did you bring them here? If I haven’t been so smart, I would have been discovered!”

Hearing her complaints, Maurice couldn’t help smiling. “It looks like you are really fine. It didn’t matter if they found you here. You really didn’t have to do such a dangerous thing.”

“I was just saving your ass. Do you understand?”

Eliana thought back to how Earle had hit Maurice with his cane. If she hadn’t been there to stop Earle, Maurice would have ended up in the hospital.

If Earle found her here this time, he would definitely be outraged.

“Can’t you understand that I did it for you? I just didn’t want you to get into trouble,” Eliana muttered angrily.

Upon hearing what she said, Maurice raised his eyebrows and looked at her sternly. “What did you just say?”

“Nothing!” Eliana replied quickly, her face blushing.
