Chapter 395


    Amos nodded, "You''re right. We''ll go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up then."


    Eudora finallypromised and nodded helplessly, "I''ll do as you say, alright?"


    "Good girl!" He shed a wide smile.


    She had initially thought that he was joking. However, he really did drive her to the hospital after she


    got up the next morning.


    She wore a helpless expression on her face as she said, "I''m already much better. Can''t you tell?"


    He shook his head and said, "I don''t believe you. I will not be at ease unless I see it for myself."


    It seemed that there was no changing his mind, so she had no choice but to do as he said.


    On the way, Eudora soon felt sleepy. She had been feeling under the weather recently. For some


    reason, drowsiness hit her easily even without doing much in the morning.


    She simply reclined the passenger''s seat and closed her eyes to rest.


    Amos reached out to check the air conditioner in the car and then raised the temperature a little.


    The phone rang and he picked it up.


    Clint''s joyful voice came from the other end, "President Granger, good news. Steven and the others


    have already transferred the funds to the dummypany over the past two days. I have already


    spread the news this morning as per your orders. If everything goes smoothly, Bethany will most likely


    act by today!"


    Amos arched his eyebrows, "So quick?"


    Clint nodded and said, "I''m quite curious too. They seem to be a little too anxious. Perhaps, they are


    aware of the threatening pressure? Anyway, it just happens that they acted so fast that we are sure to


    obtain some loopholes!"


    "Alright, keep an eye on Bethany. Keep me in the loop and call me if there is any news."


    In the Granger Mansion, Bethany had already received the news. She instantly became furious.


    "Did Steven actually transfer thepany''s property?"


    The assistant nodded, "Absolutely, we have the verified information!"


    Bethany took the information from her assistant and perused it. She was so furious that she threw the


    information on the ground the next second, "Let''s go to thepany! I want to see him and rify this


    matter with him!"


    In Valiant East, Steven was still thrilled after listening to the assistant''s report about his gains.


    Everything had gone smoothly over the past two days. At this rate, they would be able to withdraw


    everything from Valiant East in a mere month or two.


    At that time, everything in Valiant East would fall into his hands, wouldn''t it?


    At this moment, the front desk called him.


    He thought that it was Kesha, who hade to look for him again, so he said, "Is it Miss George? Ask


    her toe up!"


    He realized that he might have been a little too cold towards Kesha that day. He was also in a bad


    mood at the time. Now that he had calmed down, he felt a little guilty.


    The receptionist gave an unexpected reply.


    "No, it''s not Miss George. It''s Chairman Hamilton!" Bethany Hamilton!


    Steven frowned. Although Bethany did not hold any position in thepany, she was still the Director.


    Moreover, they had a history of helping each other. As long as Amos was still in Valiant East, he still


    had to live under Bethany''s shadow.


    If he tried to overturn anything, he would then be the subject of ridicule and mockery.


    It was also because of this reason that Steven was unable to confront her directly.


    "Send her in!" Steven said.


    Bethany soon came in, but this time, she was much more domineering than before.


    Steven could feel the tension in the air, so he told his assistant, "You may excuse yourself first! I will


    call you if I need anything!"


    The assistant quickly left. Only when Bethany was the only one left in the room that Steven came over


    and said cautiously, "Aunt Bethany, what''s wrong? Why did youe looking for me at thepany all


    of a sudden?"


    Bethany pped Steven across the face instantly. The sound reverberated across the room.


    Steven was stunned.


    "How dare you still ask me this? Why don''t you ask yourself what you have done? I requested you to


    take good care of Valiant East, not to transfer its properties away!"


    His heart sank. Bethany, the d*mned harridan who looked like she was just another ignorant and


    oblivious old woman, had unexpectedly been watching over him all this time.


    He pursed his lips and struggled desperately.


    "Aunt Bethany, isn''t there a misunderstanding?"


    "Misunderstanding? Exin to me what''s going on here then?"


    She immediately pitched a stack of documents at him. He picked them up and scanned them over. He


    was stunned.

    The document actually showed everything that he had done outside thepany. It also showed the


    counterfeit deals about the transferred properties. Everything was clearly rubbed in his face.


    Steven looked at the document, and his first reaction was that there was a mole in his camp.


    "What else do you have to say?" Bethany gritted her teeth and hissed, "I''ll give you a chance to defend


    yourself, but you should understand that defending yourself doesn''t mean that I will trust you." He stood


    there. At that moment, he was in a tug of war with himself.


    The dummypany that he had set up outside had already gained a lot of money from the operation


    over the past few days. Steven thought that if he could leave this ce, he might still be able to thrive.


    Unexpectedly, she seemed to have read his mind and smirked.


    "Are you thinking that you could set up your own business when you leave Valiant East and start work


    by yourself?"


    He was stunned. Once again, Bethany spoke slowly.


    "I have a lot more evidence. Steven, don''t think that I am just a good-for-nothing olddy waiting for her


    death. Don''t forget that I am from a privileged, noble family. I have more knowledge than you would


    ever expect."


    He was rendered meek at that moment. He thought that as long as he wasn''t in Amos'' shadow, he


    would''ve eventually be a king. Unexpectedly, he was still nothing in the hands of Bethany.


    He really couldn''t win...


    Steven finally realized the situation he was in and knew that there was no way out for him this time.


    He knelt to the ground and pleaded Bethany. "Aunt Bethany, this is my fault. Please give me another


    chance. I won''t let you down again!"


    Bethany''s face turned livid with anger, "Ah, you''re finally admitting that you''re in the wrong! Why didn''t


    you think of me as your Aunt Bethany when you transferred the properties out of thepany then? I


    thought that I was kind enough to you! There are a lot of people around me that I could have selected


    from if I wanted to hand over Valient East to someone else, yet I still chose to hand thepany over


    to you. How did you repay me in the end? You''re such a disappointment!"


    He actually knew that Bethany was only venting her anger this time. However, he could not refute at


    that moment, nor did he have the right to refute. He could only take in every criticism and shrew thrown


    at him.


    "You''re right. I was blinded by greed. I betrayed your trust in me. I am so sorry! Please give me another


    chance. I''ll do whatever you say in the future, and I''ll never disobey you again."


    Bethany gradually calmed down and stood up to pull Steven up.
