Chapter 736 Let's Get Out Of Here
Maurice and Nancy were in the middle of a conversation when suddenly, something happened downstairs.
Eliana was standing in front of the name board when she unexpectedly heard a voice from behind.
"Eliana, what are you doing here?"
Eliana turned back and saw Branson walking briskly towards her.
Damn it! Why did he have to show up now? She knew she couldn't escape, so she put on a brave face to handle the situation.
"You shouldn't be here.Come back with me!"
Branson said urgently as he hurried towards her and grabbed her arm.He wanted to make Eliana leave.
Eliana got pissed off and released herself from Branson's grip.
"Why can't I be here? Is it because of Maurice?"
Branson frowned and asked, "You know him?"
"Yes! I know everything, Branson.Why didn't you tell me about Maurice?"
Eliana snapped at him.
"Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
She was seething with anger.
Branson responded in a serious tone, "I'm trying to protect you! You've been hurt enough by Maurice.Aileen and Adrian will not have a happy life with him.If you and the kids go back to the White family, I can better ensure your safety."
"What makes you think you can decide for me?" Eliana backed away from Branson, firm in her resolve.
"I don't need your protection."
Branson lost his patience when he realized it was impossible to get her on the same page as him.He was ready for the use of force. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"since you won't listen to me, don't blame me for being rude," he warned her.
Eliana narrowed her eyes, sensing trouble.
"What do you want to do? This is the Moran family!" she said loudly, making sure he was aware of where they were.
Branson scowled and ordered his bodyguard, "Get her!"
Just as the situation was about to escalate, Maurice suddenly appeared.
"Let me see who dares to do that!" he shouted as he came down the stairs.
He then rushed to Eliana and held her hand.
"Branson, this is the Moran family.It's bold of you to think that you can take my woman away!"
Branson snorted, "Seriously, Maurice? Your woman? Your new girlfriend was cozying up in your hospital bed the other day.And you have the nerve to talk about ‘your woman’?"
Both Maurice and Branson were fuming with anger.
Just then, Eliana raised her hand and spoke up.
"Actually, that girlfriend you're referring to is me."
Branson was taken aback, "Wait, have you regained your memory?"
Eliana shook her head, "No, not yet."
Branson breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Eliana didn't remember her past with Maurice and didn't have strong feelings for him, he still had a chance.
"Eliana, don't worry.It's not your fault that you don't remember.Once you do, you'll realize how much Maurice hurt you.It was he who got you kidnapped from the wedding by the Stone family.Aileen and Adrian were also deceived by him."
The sincere look on Branson's face got Eliana confused.
Did Maurice really hurt her? Was he truly a bad guy? The doubts were creeping in, and Elaina wasn’t sure whom to believe.She held her head tightly with a sad expression on her face.
Every time she tried to recall a memory, her head felt like it was being pricked with a needle.
Branson was becoming increasingly impatient.
"Eliana, forget about Maurice.Your real family is the White family.Let's get out of here!"
"Shut up!"
Maurice bellowed.He dropped Eliana's hand and held her face with both hands.
"Eliana, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Maurice, my head hurts!"
Elaina was covered in sweat.She clenched her face in pain as she felt like a stick was stirring in her head.
Maurice's heart raced with panic as he exclaimed, "Don't worry, I'm here for you.Let's get you to the hospital immediately!"
With Eliana in his arms, he turned to leave.
But how could Branson stand by and let Maurice take her away from him? He blocked their way and demanded, "Where do you think you're taking her? Put Eliana down!"
"Get out of my way!" Maurice was infuriated.
Blue veins became prominent on the forehead.He was about to lose it and give Branson a punch, but he held back since he was holding Eliana.
Seeing that he wouldn't back down, Branson threatened him loudly, "Maurice, if you take Eliana away, you'll be going against the White family.Do you really want to do that?"
