Chapter 30 An Assassination

As Eliana’s eyes fell on the haggard middle-aged man begging and crawling piteously at Maurice’s foot, all dignity thrown aside, she inevitably recalled her late father, Lemuel Pierce.His death came without warning, hitting her like a bolt from the blue.

But that wasn’t the end of everything: following his sudden death, the Pierce Group fell into bankruptcy and Eliana’s mother took her own life.

In just a flash, Eliana’s world came crashing around her.She lost everything in the blink of an eye, falling from the luxury of heaven and tumbling down straight into the fiery, miserable pits of hell.

The Moran Group emerged as the ultimate beneficiary and bought the Pierce Group at an insultingly low price, thereby ending the Pierce Group’s existence once and for all.

Recalling her past tragedy, she suddenly found it hard to breathe.

A pair of invisible hands clenched her heart tight, gripping and crushing it without mercy.

Discomfort pricked her like tiny needles plunging into her flesh.

Eliana’s gaze grew slightly blurry as she trembled.

She peeked through the small crack of the ajar door, her frightened gaze fixated anxiously on Maurice’s ever cold, ever emotionless visage.

Was he the catalyst that pushed her originally happy family off the cliff, spelling their doom? As these thoughts raced through her increasingly frantic mind, Maurice’s sharp eyes turned to the door.

His frigid voice was like the lash of a whip.

"Who is it? Enter!"

Eliana found herself shivering involuntarily, so much that the document in her hand slipped out of her shaky grip.
