The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 243

The following day, it was widely reported on the Internet that Maurice had severely beaten Eli and wounded his face, which masked the scandal that Eli had mistreated the female stylist.

Citizens started to feel sorry for Eli, who was humiliated by a wealthy and powerful businessman this time around. His supporters were filled with righteous wrath and wanted justice for him.

As a consequence, Eli’s popularity grew.

Eliana scoffed as she saw the news.

That was a clever ruse! It not only concealed his wrongdoing but also drew in a large number of new Eli supporters. That was slick!

Eli showed up on schedule at the Moran Group premises to film the advertising at this point in time. Just at a very crucial time, he wanted to be in the public eye and see the drama he had directed come to life before his eyes.

There were a lot of people and reporters waiting to see him as he arrived at the Moran Group office, as predicted.

Fans were enraged because Eli looked like a victim with a hat and sunglasses.

There was a blockade of the building’s entrance by protesting fans, and even the building’s workers could not get in or out easily. All in attempt to get justice for Eli.

A girl pulled Eliana aside as she tried to follow Eli in.

“You must be a member of Eli’s staff, Miss. What’s the latest on him? Was he brutally assaulted by that vile rat?”

The girl’s expression was filled with sorrow for her idol and inconceivable rage at the perpetrator.

This made Eliana scream loudly, “The CEO of the Moran Group didn’t beat anybody. All of you were duped.”

Eliana was immediately swarmed by female admirers as soon as her words had faded.

“What’s the reasoning behind your statement? You didn’t really witness that, did you?”

Eliana said, “I apologize, but I was present at the time.”

“Are you fooling about right now?”

“You liar! You liar!”

Eliana’s claims were not taken seriously by the supporters. As a result of what she said, many people were outraged.

The female admirers surged towards Eliana. They mercilessly slammed water bottles into her face. Eliana was repeatedly struck because she was unable to avoid them in time.

Two security guards put in their effort to rescue Eliana when they saw the situation had spiraled out of hand. However, their efforts were ineffective due to the overwhelming number of irate fans.

Eli wanted to come to Eliana’s aid as soon as he saw her battered, but he was stopped by Inger.

“Eli, what exactly are you up to?”

“Eliana is under attack, Inger. I intend to rescue her.” Eli wanted to get rid of Inger’s hand as soon as he possibly could.

“Shut up, Eli!”

Eli was shocked by Inger’s yell. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“There is no doubt that your antics have been disruptive enough. Please don’t cause any more havoc. We’ve gained a positive reputation in the eyes of the public. I’m not sure what will happen if you persist in becoming engaged. You can only deal with Maurice if you keep the existing situation the same. I am acting in your best interests. Do you understand what I mean?”

Inger gave sound advice.

“But…”

Eli was unsure what to do when he saw Eliana’s situation.

Outside the gate, Eliana was being pummeled by the enraged supporters as well as being forced to the ground. She was unable to get up at all because of the crowd.

The guards were on the verge of losing to the fans when a wicked voice suddenly rang out.

“It’s time to let her go!”

For a brief period, the throng was eerily silent. Eliana lifted her head and saw Maurice move towards her against the light after hearing the voice.

He looked like a god coming down from the sky at that exact moment.

“Are you able to stand?”

Maurice reached his hand out to her.

Eliana took his hand without hesitating.

In the next split second, she flung herself into a safe and comfortable hug. She felt as secure as she had never been in her entire life as she listened to the man’s pulse.

When Maurice was at her side, she didn’t seem to have to worry about being hurt.

There was no doubt about that.

Maurice took a good look around, scanning the whole scene with his piercing gaze. A guy with a powerful aura stood before them, and the fans who had just been raging were all suddenly quiet and afraid to stare into his eyes.

“Mr. Moran.” The two security guards took a bold step forward without thinking.

“Nobody is forcing you to come to work tomorrow if you can’t manage a little matter like that. In the Moran Group, we don’t retain somebody who isn’t doing anything.”

Maurice grimaced and entered the building while holding Eliana’s shoulder with his arm.

Fans at the gate gradually returned to their senses after Maurice departed.

“That guy was so awful just now…” One of the female fans almost froze in terror.

“Mr. Moran! That’s what the security guards were calling him. Eli was beaten by that scumbag!”

There was an audible cry from another female supporter.

Everyone remained in a state of utter silence.

Because of what they had just seen, they felt compelled to abstain from vengeance.

In the end, their own lives seemed more significant than that of their idol.
