Each word that Gerald said was clear and articulate to Eliana as she listened to him.

Her brain went blank and she could hardly believe her ears.

What were those things that Gerald had just said?

Meanwhile, just outside the door, Maurice’s face was twisted with anger. He glared at Gerald and shouted, “Shut your trap!”

However, Gerald only sneered and continued to speak.

“Maurice, tell me something. Do you feel guilty? I was the one responsible for the bankruptcy of the Pierce family. This matter isn’t even a secret in the Moran family. Poor Eliana, that idiot doesn’t know that you have been hiding the truth from her all this time! She had guessed at first that you had been responsible for the woes that befell the Pierce family, but little did she know that she wasn’t very far from the truth. If you had not hidden the truth from her, she would have turned her attention to me. As a matter of fact, we are both her enemies!”

“Gerald, don’t you cross the line with me!”

Maurice clenched his fists as beads of sweat ran down his face. The veins on his forehead were visible as he flexed his muscles.

Noticing Maurice’s reaction, Gerald only became more arrogant.

“Maurice, you are scared, aren’t you? Unfortunately, the only thing I never anticipated was the kids that you have with Eliana, and now she’s going to get married to you without the knowledge of what you have done. Don’t you know her parents died miserably?”

“I said you should just shut your mouth!”

No longer able to control his anger, Maurice pulled his hand back and slammed a heavy punch on Gerald’s face.

“Gerald, just wait. I’ll make you pay for everything you have done to the Pierce family.”
