Chapter 707 A Sudden Change In The Wedding
It happened so suddenly, and Wyatt was the first to react.
Holding the walkie-talkie firmly in his hand, he shouted anxiously, "Somebody, stop him!"
The bodyguards present immediately rushed up.
"What do you want to do? Take a good look at the man sitting in this wheelchair and let me see if you still dare to move,"
Gerald shouted angrily at the bodyguards who were rushing over to stop him.
The bodyguards stopped and took a closer look at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
The old man had a thick scarf around his neck and was wearing a hat on his head.
Despite this disguise, the guards recognized the man's eyes and eyebrows, which really resembled Earle's.
Seeing that it was indeed the head of the Moran family in the wheelchair, no one dared to act recklessly.
Frowning tightly, Gerald ordered the bodyguards, "Get out of the way!"
The guards gazed at each other for a moment before finally stepping aside to let them pass.
On stage, Maurice stood in front of Eliana and the children to protect them.He didn't take his eyes off Gerald while wearing a frighteningly serious expression.He still couldn't believe that Earle was really with Gerald.
What did they have in mind to do? Why did they show up at this time? With a mischievous grin, Gerald pushed Earle in front of Maurice.
Then he leaned over to Earle, patted him on the arm, and said in a meaningful tone, "Dad, if you have something to say today, just say it in front of everyone."
Earle understood what Gerald expected of him and complied.
He looked up at Maurice and asked angrily, "Maurice, how could you marry this woman! She's related to the White family!"
Earle's words hurt Eliana and her face suddenly turned pale.She couldn't help but look unconsciously at Maurice.
However, Maurice was not one to be intimidated and he said firmly, "Grandpa, I don't care what Eliana's family background is.She is the only woman I would ever marry."
"Bastard! You really disappoint me!"
Earle snapped.He took out a document and angrily threw it at Maurice.
"I will never allow anyone related to the White family to marry into the Moran family! Since you insist on marrying her, sign your name on this document and renounce your position as CEO of the Moran Group.Gerald would now be the new CEO of the company."
Hearing Earle's words, Maurice was stunned.
"You intend to give the company to Gerald?" Maurice asked in shock.
Earle nodded and said firmly, "Yes, he's my only son now, so it's only natural for him to inherit the Moran Group.And I'm not healthy now, so he will have power of attorney and become by the same my legal guardian."
Maurice was even more shocked after hearing Earle’s words.He stared at the nervous man in the wheelchair and had a strong feeling that something was wrong.
Earle knew better than anyone that Gerald was a good-for-nothing.
Earle had worked hard all his life to build the Moran Group.
No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't hand over the company to Gerald so easily.
Moreover, Earle had just said Gerald was henceforth his legal guardian and that he would give him power of attorney.
This was tantamount to giving Gerald absolute power over his life.
Earle would never do something so stupid.
Maurice walked forward slowly, looking straight into Earle's eyes.
Maurice had the deep feeling that something was wrong.
"Grandpa, calm down first, okay? If we fall out on such an important occasion, it will have a great negative impact on the Moran Group."
Earle subconsciously shrank back in the wheelchair and lowered his head.
He pushed Gerald, who was beside him, and said nervously, "You...You deal with it."
A smirk appeared on Gerald's face and he said proudly, "Maurice, you have heard what your grandpa said, right? Hurry up and do as he said."
Now, Maurice knew for sure that something was wrong with Earle.
In the past, no matter how seriously ill Earle had been, he would always stay strong and would never show any vulnerability.
Now, not only did he look scared, but he hid behind Gerald and asked him to handle the matter for him.
Ignoring Gerald, Maurice squatted down in front of Earle and grabbed the latter's hand.
He looked his grandfather in the eye and asked seriously, "Grandpa, are you sure you want to do this?"
Earle's hand shook slightly, and he turned his head hastily to avoid meeting Maurice's eyes.
Seeing this, Gerald feared that Maurice suspected something, so he kicked Maurice in the knee.
"How dare you question your grandpa's decision? If you didn't insist on marrying that bitch, would your grandpa be so furious and fall ill again? It's all your fault.You really disappointed your grandpa.Now, kneel down and apologize!"
Since Maurice had all his attention focused on Earle, he didn't have time to dodge Gerald's attack.
The kick was so heavy that Maurice felt a sharp pain in his knee.He lost his balance and fell on one knee.
At this moment, a hint of morbid joy flashed through Gerald's eyes.
It was such a satisfaction for him to see the arrogant Maurice so humble now.He even managed to force Maurice to kneel down and give him everything. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Earle still didn’t say a word, as if acquiescing in what Gerald had said.
"Maurice!"
Eliana's heart tightened when she saw Maurice been forced on his knee.She anxiously ran to Maurice and helped him up.
"Gerald, are you crazy?" Eliana snapped.
However, Gerald only sneered at her.
"Eliana, you are not a good person! It was Maurice who ruined the Pierce family.You should have avenged your parents, or at least never forgive the one who hurt them.That's what a filial daughter would have done.I didn't expect you to be so cheeky.You turned your back on your parents for power and wealth!"
After Gerald said that, the audience burst into an uproar.It was real chaos.
