The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 A Shield Holding

Maurice’s arm, Eliana walked into the party venue, causing quite a stir.

Everyone turned to look at them.

They were all powerful people in the business community, so their gazes were quite frightening.

Eliana felt her scalp tingle, and she unconsciously clenched his sleeve.

Maurice glanced at her and asked, "Are you scared?"

Shaking her head, she was about to say something when someone interrupted.

A middle-aged man slowly walked to Maurice.He had wrinkles, and his thin hair was neatly combed.He was wearing a typical suit that perfectly enhanced his steady demeanor.

Maurice greeted him with a faint smile and said, "Uncle Gerald."

"Is she your date?" Gerald looked at Eliana inquisitively.She smiled perfunctorily as she looked at him.She could not let Maurice lose face since she already made a deal with him.

Feeling a sudden warmth in her hand, she looked down and saw Maurice holding the back of her palm to comfort her.

"What’s the matter? Can’t I?"

Maurice looked indifferently at Gerald.

However, Gerald didn’t look at nephew, and his heart skipped a beat when he realized how familiar Eliana looked.He had always been immune to the complexities in the corporate world, but her smile shattered his soul.

Many years ago, a woman with the exact same bright eyes had smiled at him.

However… Thinking of the past, he controlled his emotions and said in a low voice, "Maurice, you’re too willful! You knew the purpose of today’s party, and yet you brought a date along!"

Eliana heard him.

"Am I not allowed to bring a date to our family party?" Maurice asked in a harsh voice.

Gerald’s expression darkened.

"The very purpose of this party is to announce your engagement to the daughter of the Jarvis family.Did you bring her just to embarrass them?"

‘Engagement?’

With her eyes wide open, Eliana subconsciously tried to shake off Maurice’s hand.

However, Maurice held her wrist tightly as though he was expecting it.

Taking a deep breath, she glared at him.It was obvious that he was using her as a shield.

Any woman who was able to get married to a man like him should be from a powerful family, and Eliana did not want to get into trouble.

"Uncle Gerald, don’t worry about me."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Maurice’s mellow voice.

"Besides, I know that you are the first one who wants this so-called engagement to fail."

Gerald narrowed his eyes at Maurice, and their eyes met.The coldness between the two sent a chill in the air.

Eliana felt goose-bumps all over her body.

What did she do to get involved in such a situation? She was so hungry at that moment that her stomach growled.

The confrontation between Maurice and Gerald suddenly stopped when they both looked at her.

Embarrassed, Eliana covered her stomach with her hands.

"You two…please go on."

She turned around and wanted to run away, but Maurice caught her quickly.

Sensing a sweet smell, she looked down and saw him holding a piece of cake in his hand.

"Eat this," he said, handing it to her.

They had come straight to the party after work, so she had no time to eat.

Maurice was used to handling himself in such situations, but she was not.

Eliana was slightly stunned, and the anger in her heart dissipated a little.

"Mr.Moran, Maurice, you are both here!" A delicate voice came, drawing Gerald’s attention.

"Evelynn."

Gerald looked at the woman with a gentle smile.

"My father is looking for you.Can you talk to him?"

Evelynn Jarvis was dressed a light green gown, which perfectly enhanced her outstanding figure.

Her smile was bright, making her look beautiful and dignified.

Glancing at Maurice from the corner of his eye, Gerald sneered in his heart, but pretended to be kind.

"Okay.You guys talk.I won’t disturb you." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Maurice was right.

Gerald did not want him to have the Jarvis family’s support Although Maurice seemed indifferent to the marriage, he was sophisticated.

Hence, Gerald could not expose his trump cards yet.

After walking to the second floor, Gerald took out his phone and called someone.

"Are you ready?" he asked coldly.
