Chapter 279
She lowered her head and kissed the back of his hand. Then, Eudora George spoke with a smile.
"I will do whatever I can to protect myself now that I have you and Juju by my side. Besides, didn''t we
agree that we would go through thick and thin together? Look at me. I''m fine, am I not? At most, I will
ask someone to keep mepany next time."
Looking at her clear and bright eyes, Amos finally calmed down a little.
He then let out a sigh of relief and said, "I''ll apany you next time."
"Okay!" Eudora said with a smile.
At this moment, she saw a box in the back seat, "What''s that?"
Amos then rxed a little, "Oh, it''s the gun that the Old Master had given to Juju. I took it and asked
someone to modify it. Now, it is a toy gun, and the beads in it have been reced with soft water
bullets."
Eudora reached out and examined the gun. As Amos had said, it was modified. Nevertheless, they still
retained the original shape of the gun. Even the soft water bullets that they were going to let Juju y
with was made to look like the real one.
It was rather amazing!
Eudora frowned, "You are going to spoil Juju."
Amos Granger didn''t seem too concerned, "She''s my daughter. So what if I spoil her?"
Eudora was speechless.
When they arrived home and gave Juju the gun, she was thrilled. She took it out of the box and y
with it excitedly. Eudora was afraid that Juju would get into trouble, so she followed Juju out hurriedly.
As soon as she got to the garden, she saw Juju standing with Vincent Granger. Juju seemed to be
angry, and Vincent was crying yet again.
Eudora was worried that Juju might have used the gun to hit him, so she ran over hurriedly and
grabbed Juju''s hand.
"What''s going on?"
Juju didn''t say a word. However, Vincent was still crying hard.
Eudora looked around and did not see any servants, so she asked Juju again, "Tell me, what
happened?"
Juju remained silent, so Eudora tried to coax Vincent.
"Hey, Vincent. Don''t cry. Tell me, what happened?"
Vincent pushed her away and said, "You''re a bad person. Don''t touch me."
Eudora was stunned. Although she hated Tiffany Leon very much, she believed that her child was
innocent. Therefore, she had always been friendly to Vincent.
However, she did not expect the child to treat her like that.
When Juju saw that Vincent was talking so rudely to her mother, she immediately threw the toy gun
aside and rushed over. Fortunately, Eudora caught her in time. As she was making a fuss, Bethany''s
voice rang, "Vincent, where are you?"
Vincent immediately turned around and ran away.
"Grandma! Grandma..."
Bethany Hamilton was stunned, "What happened? Why is he crying?"
"Juju hit me with that gun!" Vincent opened his palm and a water bullet was in it.
Bethany took a deep breath and picked the water bullet up from his palm. After looking at it for a while,
she spoke.
"This was probably a misunderstanding, right?"
"Grandma! Juju really did hit me! Not only did she hit me, but she also insulted me for not having a
father!"
Bethany was stunned by Vincent''s words.
Eudora knew how Bethany had always felt about Hank Granger. Therefore, at this moment, Bethany''s
eyes were red.
Juju immediately retorted, "I didn''t say that."

Eudora frowned, "This may be a misunderstanding..."
She was not defending Juju, because Juju also grew up without a father. Therefore, it was unlikely that
she would say something like that.
However, she couldn''t say that out loud, because if she did, it would prove that Vincent was lying.
At this moment, Kaylene Yoder walked out from behind them.
"Eudora, I''m not trying to lecture you, but you and your daughter have gone too far this time. Even
though you are happy with Juju and Amos now, you shouldn''t say such words to hurt Bethany, right?
Juju is still young, but you''re her mother. Shouldn''t you be more sensible?"
Kaylene had always been one to stir trouble, so Eudora refused to pay attention to her. She told
Bethany, "This matter..."
"Forget it!" Bethany said, "The kids were just squabbling. Let''s not ruin our friendship over such a trivial
matter. Eudora, take Juju back with you. Vincent, let''s go! We''re leaving too!"
Vincent was obviously still indignant, but he did not say anything else.
Kaylene hurried to catch up with Bethany, "Bethany, are you just going to let this slide? Hank..."
"That''s enough!" Bethany said, "I''ve already said that the children were just squabbling. Why are you
so adamant about creating trouble? Have you got nothing to dotely?"
Kaylene then left in a bad mood. Bethany looked at her and then slowly brought Vincent back to the
room.
She took out some medicine and gently swabbed it on Vincent''s bruise. Then Bethany said, "Did Juju
really say that?"
Vincent''s expression froze, and he immediately replied, "Yes! Grandma."
"Okay!" Bethany answered. Then, she slowly lifted Vincent''s clothes and applied the ointment on his
bruise.
When she was done, she then said, "You may go back and read your book now."
Vincent stared at her nkly for a while before nodding, "Grandma, I''ll leave now."
After Vincent left, Bethany put away the medicine and stood up to look out of the window. She did not
Kaylene told Harry everything as soon as she got back to her house.
"Vincent is a good boy. He did as we said, but Bethany still doesn''t believe him. Didn''t you say that she
would be moved once she has a sessor? It seems that I''m being put in a spot now!"
Harry Granger gritted his teeth, "Was she not convinced at all?"
"No! She''s still the same as she used to be. I''m really surprised. How could Bethany have such a good
temper? It''s fine if she doesn''t care about me. However, her beloved grandson had just gotten bullied,
and yet she just let it go so easily."
Harry''s face gradually became gloomy, "Forget it, what do we need her for? Anyway, Steven is back,
and we don''t need to rely on her anymore."
He then looked around the living room, "Why isn''t Steven back yet?"
As they were talking, Steven Granger stepped into the house with a smile on his face. "What''s the
matter? Do you already miss me after not seeing me for the whole day?"
Kaylene got up hurriedly and said, "Steven, what are you busy with? Why did youe back sote?"
"Me?" Steven went straight to the couch and sat down. He pulled a grape and threw it into his mouth, "I
went to the construction site. Didn''t I tell you that I''ve hired a designer?"
Kaylene frowned and said, "Why are you so concerned about the project? Didn''t we agree that the
project was just a cover-up so that your uncle wouldn''t get so suspicious of us? Just leave it to Valiant
East. Why do you care so much about it? You look so tired."
"Mom, you''re wrong. Yes, we did agree that it was just a cover-up. However, Uncle would get worried if
we don''t do it properly. Which part of this do you not understand?"
Kaylene was stunned, "What do you mean?"
