The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 226

When Eliana heard what Eli had to say, she didn’t freak out in the least.

She stared calmly into Eli’s piercing eyes, pulled out her phone, and showed him the proof she had uncovered recently.

“There is no justification for your deception, Eli. The dog and the ring are not yours.”

This startled Eli. Nervously, he took Eliana’s cell phone.

Eliana’s screen name was “Love Eli Forever” and it was the first thing Eli saw. On top of that, Eliana also used Eli’s photograph as her profile picture!

He spotted Eliana’s comment in the chat group as he scrolled down. Her voice sounded just like one of his ardent admirers.

Eli held the phone and sneered, “Is this your purported proof? It’s nothing but an excuse to come closer to me, it seems.”

Eli smirked contemptuously, assuming Eliana was a stalker!

Infuriated, Eliana responded aggressively to the accusation, “What on earth are you referring to? Is there anything I’m saying that you don’t get?”

Eliana was adamant about her denial!

Eli glanced at Eliana, suddenly rose up, and walked towards her step by step. “Please, tell me whether you want a hug or a kiss. I will fulfill your request and allow you to show it out to other admirers.”

Eventually, it became necessary for Eliana to retreat.

Even more, Eli wrapped his arm around Eliana’s waist.

The proximity of the two individuals suggested a tight relationship.

Eliana wondered what Eli had in mind for her.

A moment before she was going to stomp on Eli’s foot, the door was opened.

“What’s happening?”

As Maurice stood at the entrance, he had a gloomy countenance and deep black eyes, which startled everyone.

Only after that did Eli relinquish his grip on Eliana’s waist.

“What is it that you do here, Eliana?” Maurice gave a sneering grin.

Eliana was stumped for a moment as to how to describe it.

Eli took a brief glance at Maurice and pondered his next move. He quickly put on a friendly grin as he remembered the warning from his agent.

“Please, Mr. Moran, do not make a mistake. Miss Pierce is a fan and stylist for me. Since this is her first encounter with me, she is really thrilled. I was going to sign my autograph for her. Miss Pierce, am I correct?”

Eli pretended to be friendly with Eliana by placing his arm over her shoulder. Then he turned his head and signaled Eliana to assist him to lie in order to get away with it from Maurice.

Eliana was aware of Eli’s expectations. Even though she was enraged, she couldn’t refuse his request since she hadn’t yet gotten the dog and the ring.

“Yes. Mr. Moran, I’m Eli’s admirer. We were just having a good time together.”

Eliana acted as though she agreed. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Maurice’s gaze subconsciously landed on Eli’s hand resting on Eliana’s shoulder. His eyes became icy.

He wondered, ‘How could Eliana meet a new guy as soon as she leaves my sight? Why is she so dismissive?’

“I am uninterested in what you are thinking, Eli. But it’s best if you don’t think anything bad. The Moran Group’s reputation will not be damaged if you execute your work correctly. Otherwise… Everything is at your own perilous risk.”

The sarcasm in Maurice’s voice was subtle, but it was evident that he was condescending, as if he considered Eli a nobody.

Maurice’s attitude obviously irritated Eli who had high self-esteem.

Eli’s eyes narrowed and he made a provocative remark. “I believe you have misinterpreted something, Mr. Moran. I, too, am entitled to make a decision. If I don’t want to work for the Moran Group, you can do nothing. You can’t threaten me, Mr. Moran.”

Eli was courageous and provoked Maurice, who was standing at the entrance with a blank look.

Palpable tension pervaded the air as the two guys stared at each other. It was conceivable that they would actually fight at any moment.
