As Asher began to understand the situation, fear turned his stomach cold. His first instinct was to run away.

But Maurice wasn’t going to give him that chance.

“Have a seat.”

Asher sat down uneasily.

Maurice sat as well. He got right to the point. “I want you to do me a favor, Mr. Harrison.”

Asher’s body stiffened, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, “How can I help you, Mr. Moran?”

Eliana clenched her fists. She had a feeling that Maurice was about to bring up the Pierce Group.

Maurice took a leisurely sip of coffee and placed his cup down. “It’s not a big deal,” he said slowly. “It’s about some rumors that I’ve heard recently.”

Asher’s throat tightened and cold sweat ran down his back.

“What rumors?” Asher asked.

“I’ve heard that the reason the Pierce Group went bankrupt is because someone plotted against it,” Maurice continued. “Mr. and Mrs. Pierce were driven to despair and died by suicide. Mr. Harrison, as a former employee of the Pierce Group, I thought that you might know the true story.”
