The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy



Chapter 685 Negotiation Began

Maurice and Jonathan were both so disgusted with each other that neither of them spoke. The situation quickly became very awkward.

Jonathan noticed the distinct lipstick stain on Maurice's collar while looking him up and down.

It made him irritated because he knew who had left the mark.

"Mr. Moran, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to go to a business meeting with a woman's lipstick stain on your collar?"

Hearing this, Maurice looked down at the lipstick stain on his collar. He didn't find anything wrong.

"Really?" he asked. "I think it's lovely. It's like a medal from my woman."

Jonathan was infuriated by his words, but he quickly changed the subject.

"What about your wedding, Mr. Moran? How is everything going?"

Maurice would not tell him anything and just replied calmly, "Everything is going well."

"Really?" Jonathan smiled playfully. "That's not what I heard. Your grandfather is said to be upset with your marriage to Eliana and has moved out of the house. Am I correct?

"No, what you heard is just a rumor. Maurice denied it. "The wise will not listen to rumors. You'd better not spread it because it will affect my fiancee. Eliana deserves the best and perfect wedding."

Jonathan was once again envious of Maurice's undying love for Eliana.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell Eliana. She was with me for four years. Of course, I know her best. You couldn't change the past," Jonathan said deliberately.

When Jonathan mentioned his four years with Eliana, he expected Maurice to become envious and angry.

But Maurice proved him wrong.

Maurice was as calm as ever, and there was even mockery in his eyes.

"The past? Why would I want to change your past? You were together for four years, but you weren't able to keep Eliana with you. Isn't that enough for you to realize the truth?"

"Maurice, don't be too arrogant!" Jonathan snarled angrily. "I'm not going to lose this time. You would be the Moran family's black sheep once I took over the theme park project. Earle would certainly disown you, and you would lose everything!"

"I don't need you to worry about my future," Maurice said firmly. "Besides, I never treated Eliana as a booty from the beginning, so there is no winner or loser, as you claimed."Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His words had touched a nerve.

Jonathan once had a blazing, sincere, and desperate love, but he eventually lost it.

Silence filled the room once again. After a few moments, Jonathan's lawyers returned and informed him that there was

no problem with the contract.

At the same time, Corbin came back with the doctors. The doctors assured Maurice that the medicine was clinically safe to use.

They immediately reached an agreement.

When Maurice was about to sign the transfer contract, Corbin interrupted him in panic.

"Mr. Moran, something bad happened! I just got word from the Moran Group's board of directors that... You do not have the authority to make a decision on the theme park project." With a rigid expression, Corbin handed the phone to Maurice.

"What did you say?"

Maurice grabbed the phone and his heart sank when he read the message.

Who on earth orchestrated this?

Earle hadn't mentioned it beforehand, and he couldn't reach Aleck right now, so no one could tell him who gave the order.

Maurice assumed Earle and Nancy went out to unwind for the time being because they couldn't accept Eliana's identity. But now the news had come out in an unusual manner. Even if Earle wanted to force Maurice to give in, he despised repeatedly threatening his grandson.

Something was wrong.

Maurice held his phone, lost in thought. On the other hand, Jonathan lost his patience.

"So, you mean you can't sign it now?"

Jonathan's face darkened. The lawyer next to him lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Bowman, I think they might be playing a trick on you. Perhaps they were not prepared to sign the agreement from the beginning!"
