No one dared to say a word.
Aileen and Adrian stared at their mom and covered their mouths. Nana also held her breath.
The puppy was barking like a fool.
“Did you hear it wrong? There are no kids here, just a dog. It’s a dog that’s barking!” Eliana explained
loudly.
Upon hearing that, Maurice was rendered speechless.
She then stood up from the floor, massaged her waist and walked to the sofa with difficulty.
She then moved the puppy away and reached her hand under the sofa.
She finally felt her phone.
She then immediately turned off the speaker.
“Preston, why did you call me?”
She was praying in her heart that he did not call her to ask about the ring.
“Didn’t you say that you would return my ring soon? Well, I want to know when you’re planning on
giving it back to me,” Maurice said lightly, but his words felt like a death sentence to her.
“Well… There is a small problem with the ring now, and… The situation is very complicated,” Eliana
stammered.
The puppy pouted at Eliana since she took its toy away. Barking loudly, the puppy continued to bite her
trousers and pull them.
Eliana was already upset, and the puppy’s noisiness only caused her irritation.
“Shut up!”
Hearing her loud scream, the puppy fell quiet and ran to its masters for comfort.
At the same time, her deafening roar hurt Maurice’s ear, and he had to move the phone away from his
ear.
‘What’s wrong with her?’
“Are you going to return my ring or not?”
Eliana felt like her head was going to explode. She knew that she would have to come to terms with it
sooner or later, and thought that it was better to do it now.
With a heavy sigh, she said, “Preston, listen, let’s talk about the ring in person. I can’t explain about it
over the phone.”
She felt that it was not right for her to tell him about the ring over the phone.
After all, the ring was swallowed by the dog, and the dog was now missing. No one would believe such
a story.
“Well, I’ll see you later in Golden Imperial Club,” Maurice said.
An hour later, he sat at the bar of the club, wearing a mask.
Anyone who came to the club would say that it was the happiest place in the world.
However, Maurice did not feel so. Every time he came there, he would change his identity and
investigate Gerald.
But ever since Eliana came into his life, he had always felt an inexplicable sense of expectation
whenever he thought of meeting her there.
Hence, he did not want to come there after she stopped coming.
‘What’s wrong with me?’
Maurice was still in a daze when Wyatt walked up to him with a bottle of wine and poured him a glass.
“I thought that you would never come again. Looks like you’ve patched things up with Eliana. Isn’t that
right?”
Wyatt handed the glass to Maurice, who took it from him, ignoring his tease.
“I heard that you were looking for a dog.”
Maurice drank the wine down. His deep eyes reflected on the shiny glass.
“The dog has something to do with Eliana. I am only helping her search for it.”
‘So it’s Eliana’s dog?’
Wyatt smiled and said, “Maurice, you are crazy! Why do you care about Eliana’s dog?”
Stroking the wine glass, Maurice also felt that he had been acting really strange lately.
All of a sudden, they heard a noise, turned around, and saw a group kicking and punching a middle-
aged man.
“That guy looks like Hodge.” Wyatt frowned.
Hodge…
Maurice suddenly remembered that Eliana had once asked him about that man.
“What’s the matter with him?”
“I guess he owed money to those people and they chased him here. He is a fence sitter, who used to
work for Gerald privately, and got a lot of benefits from him. But he couldn’t bring himself to quit his
gambling habit and ended up falling in debt. Are you curious about him?”
Maurice felt that a man like Hodge should have nothing to do with Eliana.
But why had she asked him about Hodge?
Maurice immediately lost interest and became disappointed.
“Drive them out. How dare they act like beasts in the Golden Imperial Club? Do they have a death
wish?” Maurice asked coldly.
He placed the wine glass on the table, looked up, and saw Eliana walking into the club.
His eyes lit up at once and he wanted to greet her.
However, the next second, he saw Eliana walking towards Hodge.
