Chapter 297
"It seems like your uncle intends to fight you until the end."
Eudora George sighed. With the Old Master around, Harry Granger imed that he wanted everyone
to get along and be a peaceful family. However, behind the Old Master''s back, he had tricks up
his sleeves.
Amos Granger was much calmer than she was, "He even tried to kill me. What won''t he do? Whoever
trusts him is a fool! Absolute fool!"
Eudora frowned. Truth was, she did not want to think poorly of anyone.
However, reality taught her a lesson.
"What should we do next?"
Amos smiled, "We''ll let them do as they wish. Didn''t they want a peaceful family? I''ll show them a
peaceful family then. I want to see what they are capable of."
Eudora burst intoughter, "You vicious old man."
Amos frowned. He didn''t like the term ''old'', "Am I old?"
Eudora said softly, "No..."
"I''ve not been teaching you well enough..."
Eudora immediately gave in, "My leg hurts."
"Still trying to act innocent?" In the evening, Clint Zuckerberg did as he had promised. He brought them
some chicken soup.
When Amos opened the thermos, the smell of chicken soup immediately filled the room. Eudora cursed
herself in her heart.
However, thankfully, Amos did not seem to notice her reaction. Instead, he poured out a bowl for her
and handed the soup over to her, "Whatever you like, I will give it to you."
Eudora wanted to cry but no tears came to her eyes. No matter how much she liked eating or drinking
something, she wouldn''t want it day and night. How was she supposed to tell him that?
In fact, she only drank the soup that morning in hopes of patching the rtionship between the father
and son. If she had told him that she didn''t feel like having the soup now, wouldn''t that mean that she
had deliberately made a fuss that morning?
Hence, she forced herself to drink the soup.
As though she was taking her medication, she swallowed the soup reluctantly.
"It''s tasty."
Amos looked helplessly at the pretentious little woman, "Is it really tasty? I will ask Clint to get us more
tomorrow then."
Eudora couldn''t hold it in any longer, "No! It''s disgusting! It tastes real bad."
"Who was the one who kept fussing this morning, asking for chicken soup?" Amos asked. "I did. But
I''ve had too much. My belly is filled with chicken soup," She was embarrassed as she said it, "My pee
also smells like chicken soup now."
Amos'' face was full of pride, "Are you going to do it again next time? I don''t want you to sacrifice
yourself for the Old Master and me."
Eudora nodded, "I get it now. I won''t do it again."
Amos knew that his mischievous woman was ying tricks on him again, but he couldn''t bear to refuse
her because she had begged him.
Therefore, he swapped her chicken soup with a bowl offish soup.
"Why don''t you drink this then?"
Only then did Eudora realize what was going on, "Amos! You tricked me."
Amosughed, "All is fair in war."
While they were having dinner, Auntie Valerie came in with Juju. As soon as Juju entered the ward, she
sighed, "It smells so good in here."
"Oh yes, there''s still some chicken soup left," Eudora quickly handed a bowl to Juju.
Juju was reluctant to go home after dinner. After all, she was still a kid. She wanted to be around her
parents and she was reluctant to leave them.
Eudora thought for a moment and said, "Do you think that the doctor will discharge me from the
hospital? I mean, the rest of my body is fine. I''m just lying in bed all day. That way, you don''t have to
dy any of your work, and I could do mine as well. All you need to do is find me a wheelchair. I can
take care of myself." Amos couldn''t bring himself to refuse her request, so he agreed.
Then, they packed up their things and returned to the Granger family mansion.
As soon as they arrived home, Kaylene Yoder came over.
"Eudora! You''re back! Thankfully you were there that day, otherwise, I dare not imagine what might
have happened to the Old Master. He has instructed the chef to prepare dinner. The rest of the family is
in the dining hall. Why don''t you guys join us?"
"We have already eaten," Amos said in a low voice.
He spoke just as he was about to drag Eudora away. Then, the Old Master''s voice rang behind him,
"Even if you have already eaten, you could still join us and have a seat, right? I have an announcement
to make. Come over once you''ve settled down."
Eudora was afraid that Amos and the Old Master would start bickering again, so she said in a hurry,
"Alright. We will be there soon."
Kaylene rolled her eyes. Why would the Old Master have something to announce all of a sudden? She
decided to go and get Harry right away.
A momentter, the whole family gathered at the main house and the Old Master was about to make
his announcement.
"My health has improved a lot over the past few days. Tomorrow is Monday. I have asked thewyer to
prepare the necessary documents for a meeting tomorrow where I will announce that Amos will take
over Valiant East officially. I know many things have happened in our family because of this. Therefore,

I have decided to step down from this position and give it to Amos. I hope that the family could have
peace again."
Harry''s face was gloomy. Usually, he would chime in with a few words to show his support. However,
this time, he had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, Amos did not know what to say. Finally, Bethany Hamilton nodded and said, "The Old
Master is right. It will be for the best if we could get along from now on."
When the Old Master was done, he turned to look at Eudora, "I didn''t expect you to get discharged so
soon. Are you feeling much better?"
"Yup!" Eudora nodded, "It''s a little difficult to recuperate in the hospital, so I decided toe home to
rest. It''s the same anyway."
The Old Master nodded and said, "I''ve misjudged you. Once Amos takes over Valiant East, you two
may get married."
Eudora was stunned. The news was abrupt and she was at a loss.
When the Old Master saw the dumbfounded look on her face, he suddenly smiled, "Are you happy?"
Eudora nodded, "Yeah, but I don''t dare believe it."
The Old Master burst intoughter, "You''d better believe it then. I''m a man of my word. I won''t go back
on what I said."
Eudora pursed her lips, "But, I haven''t done what I had promised you..."
"We''ll talk about itter," the Old Master said, "There are some things that cannot be forced." As he
said this, his eyes swept across Amos'' body.
The expression on Harry''s face darkened even more. Next, he paused for a while and then smiled.
"Old Master, Amos'' wedding is good news for our family. But isn''t this too hasty? We haven''t prepared
anything yet. Amos'' wedding must be very grand!"
Harry and the Old Master shared the same thought. Hence, the Old Master nodded right away, "It''s
definitely going to be very grand, so I''ve asked someone to make the arrangements. It''s better to do
this while I''m still alive. The sooner, the better."
Everyone was stunned and as they looked at the Old Master. A trace of worry shed across Amos''
eyes.
Bethany said in a hurry, "What are you talking about?"
"That''s enough. Let''s not talk about this anymore. It''s time to eat."
He then instructed the servants to prepare the dinner table.
In a dark roomte at night, a lone figure got off the bed and stood in front of the window.
In the dark, he sighed.
Eudora opened her eyes and walked over with her bare feet and hugged his waist from behind, "Amos,
are you worried about your father?"
Amos didn''t say anything, so Eudora added.
"I saw your photo the other day. I know that you are worried about him deep down. Don''t let yourself
have any regrets in life. After tomorrow''s meeting, let''s spend some time with him. We''ll bring him
somewhere. What do you think?"
Amos paused for a long time before he nodded, "I will listen to you."
