Chapter 369


    Steven was dumbfounded. Although he did not like how Bethany had always directed him around as


    though he was still a child, at the end of the day, it was she who had pulled him to his position, so he


    dared not cross the line.


    Therefore, he would show respect to her no matter what. However, at this moment, he did not expect


    Bethany to return.


    "Aunt Bethany, why are you here?"


    Bethany''s expression softened, "I got a little bored staying at home all the time, so I came to have a


    look at the party. What''s the matter? Have I arrived not at a proper time?"


    "Of course not!" Steven smiled and hurried to help her, "Aunt Bethany, let me help you!"


    Eudora pursed her lips and snickered once Steven and Bethany left.


    "What a coincidence! It seems like a great show is about to start."


    Amos, on the other hand, did not seem surprised at all. Eudora was stunned, "Did you already know


    that she woulde?"


    "It''s not hard to guess! She seemed as though she had never wanted a part of the Granger family all


    these years, yet she jumped out on the matter of the inheritance all of a sudden. I''m sure that she isn''t


    doing this just to sow discord in the family." Eudora nodded, "Amos, you''re too smart!"


    Amos reached his hand out to rub her cheek, "You''re smart too."


    Bethany took Steven all the way to the lounge. Along the way, both of them looked as though they were


    getting along very well.


    However, once they entered the lounge, Bethany shook off Steven''s hand, walked to the sofa beside


    her, and sat down.


    "I am really heartbroken. I did not expect you to think of me as such a person!"


    Steven shook his head hurriedly, "No, it was just a slip of the tongue. You should know that I have not


    been doing well in thepany recently, so I wanted to change the people''s views on me by showing


    what a loving cousin I was. It was all fake. Please don''t believe it."


    Bethany sneered.


    "Is your rtionship with Amos fake, or is ours the fake one? Had I note today, the two of you


    would''ve gotten rid of me after you work together, right?"


    Steven was stunned. This was the first time he saw Bethany acting like this. Even when he joined


    hands with her to bring Amos down, it seemed that Bethany was still nervous and hesitant. It was as


    though she was just a homemaker who was oblivious to the family''s politics.


    Now, she became brave enough to shout at him.


    When she saw how nervous Steven was, Bethany realized that her words might have been a little


    harsh. She immediately changed her tone, "Steven, I didn''t mean to be aggressive. It''s just that the two


    of us are on the same boat. When I was helpless, you took the initiative to stand on my side, and I


    won''t forget that. However, you are not as maniptive as Amos. I am afraid that you would be


    cheated by him!"


    Steven pursed his lips and said, "Aunt Bethany, you are right. I will take note of this!"


    "That''s not enough. I''ve heard all about it. You''ve been using thepany''s previous projects to cause


    troubles for Amos recently too, haven''t you? That''s too irresponsible of you. This is a loss to the whole


    Steven was indignant, but he still nodded his head.


    Bethany pondered for a while before opening her mouth to speak.


    "How about this? You''ve worked very hard for the past few weeks. I have a nephew who is about the


    same age as you. Is the manager position in your project office still avable? Why don''t you let him


    have a try at it?"


    Steven frowned, "Aunt Bethany, haven''t you already arranged work at thepany for your two


    rtives before?"


    Bethany merely shrugged it off and said, "Really? I don''t remember! However, it doesn''t matter. We still


    need to have more people to handle thepany''s affairs. Wouldn''t it be more efficient to have our


    own family work inside?" When she saw that Steven did not speak, Bethany then added, "It''s a deal


    then! As for Amos, I don''t think you should interact with him much. He is too scheming. You wouldn''t be


    able to fool him!"


    "Alright, since this matter has been decided, shall we go now? Since I''m already here, I should give a


    speechter!"


    When the party reached its peak, Steven stood below the stage and watched Bethany standing up


    there, wearing her gorgeous and dazzling dress.


    Her every movement carried the elegance of a nobledy. She was totally different from the submissive


    woman she was when the Old Master Granger was still alive. It was as though they were two


    Had he not known her before, he would have never thought that she was actually such a person.


    Steven frowned when he heard Amos'' faint voice.


    "I really did not know that my stepmother is such a powerful figure!"


    Steven looked at Amos, but thetter did not seem to notice him. It seemed that he wasmenting


    innocently before disappearing right after.


    Amos left with Eudora before the banquet was over.


    Eudora took a deep breath when they were finally out from the building, "The air outside is better. It just


    smells like money and desire inside there. It''s really boring."


    Amos looked at her with a smile, "Are you hungry? I''ll take you for some delicious food!" Eudora was


    indeed hungry. When she thought about it, she remembered a shop that she had been to before. She


    suddenly smiled and said, "I know a super delicious ce! I''ll take you there!"


    When they arrived at the shop, he realized that the delicious food that Eudora was talking about was


    actually Sparrali noodles.


    He could already smell the pungent scent when he stood by the entrance. Eudora took a deep breath,


    "It smells so good!"


    Amos was speechless.


    Although he was not picky with food, it was a really unpleasant smell.


    Eudora smiled, as though she knew what he was thinking about, "It only smells bad, but it actually


    tastes pretty good. When I ate it for the first time, I had the same reaction too. Perhaps you could give it


    a try?"


    Amos frowned, "I''ll apany you!"


    Eudora ignored him and went to order a bowl of noodles.


    It was arge portion with fried tofu and mushrooms on top. Eudora tasted it, and it was as delicious as


    it was before.


    She looked at Amos, who seemed visibly disturbed by the smell. She scooped a spoonful of the


    noodles and put it near to his mouth.


    "Have a try?"


    Amos shook his head. "It''s alright. I''ll pass. You should have more." "I''ll get angry!" Eudora was


    insistent. Amos had no choice but to take a bite.


    It was a very strange taste. However, the strange smell seemed to disappear after the noodles were


    chewed, and its fragrance lingered in his mouth.


    "What''s your verdict?"


    Amos nodded and said, "It''s delicious."


    "Let''s get another serving then!"

    Soon, the waiter served another bowl of noodles to the table. Eudora looked at Amos'' graceful dining


    etiquette and could not helpughing.


    "Am I lowering the President''s standards?"


    Amos rubbed her hair and said, "Nonsense!"


    After eating, he asked, "Why don''t we buy some for Juju too?"


    Eudora was speechless.


    She should not have brought Amos to eat this. What if he wanted to eat it every day in the future?
