Chapter 566


    Tina couldn''t understand, thus she inquired, "Eudora, I could tell that Dad is really coercing you. If that''s


    the case, why wouldn''t you want President Granger toe and save you?"


    Eudora did not know the best way to exin. Could she just tell Tina that she did not want to implicate


    Amos into this? Or should she say that the Granger family had problems of their own at the moment


    too?


    It was too difficult to reveal these, and she thought that there was no point in telling Tina about them.


    Hence, Eudora said nonchntly, "It''s not what you think it is. Just forget about it, alright? Promise me


    that you wouldn''t tell anyone about this. If you say it, then don''t regard me as your sister ever again."


    Eudora was a role model to Tina, and she could not ept the fact that she was about to sever ties


    with her.


    Tina immediately shook her head and assured her, "I won''t reveal anything, not a single word."


    "That''s good. You''d better get out of here quickly. Don''t make Christopher worried. At least one of us


    has to be free and happy..."


    Thest sentence came out as a murmur, so Tina did not hear it clearly.


    "What did you just say?"


    "Nothing!"


    Eudora returned to her room after sending Tina off. Both Eudora and Tyler did not interact with each


    other at all for the next two days.


    Tyler would usually tolerate Eudora whenever they quarreled. Hence, even if Eudora was angry, the


    atmosphere in the family was still harmonious.


    However, this time, it was totally different.


    For the first time, they were ignoring each other. Eudora would show a poker face every day and attend


    to her own business without making a fuss. However, the same could not be said for Tyler. Everyone


    had initially thought that they no longer needed to suffer under his intimidation once Eudora returned


    home.


    Yet, they had never expected the situation to be even worse than before.


    Those who had gone to serve Tyler wereining about him. In the end, Hodge''s bedroom door


    was swarmed by people.


    They immediately pleaded with him.


    The family chef spoke first. Heined with snot and tears on his face, "Hodge, you must help me.


    I have cooked more than a dozen meals over the past few days, but Mr. Holt wasn''t satisfied with any


    of them. My arms are going to fall off at this point."


    "So what if your arms fall off? My hands are swollen!"


    The maid who was responsible for washing the dishes eximed.


    "Yours is nothing! I have been cleaning the house for multiple rounds over the past few days. The other


    servant almost slipped on the floor because it was too clean! But Mr. Holt said that I didn''t do my job


    well and that I had to clean the house again! Hodge, you must speak for me..."


    Needless to say, Hodge didn''t dare to point out Tyler''s unreasonable behavior. He mumbled, "Well... if


    the floor was clean, it wouldn''t have been slippery right? You do need to continue cleaning the house..."


    "Hodge!" Everyone shouted at the same time, "Please, save us!"


    It was really difficult for Hodge to do anything. He sighed, "You guys are really making things difficult for


    me!" As a butler, of course, he hoped that everyone in the house could get along well and live happily.


    However, it was a fight between the masters of the house. What could an insignificant being like him


    do?


    Then again, he was the butler. Looking at these severely-tortured subordinates, he had no choice but


    to brace himself to try to resolve the issue.


    "Fine, let me try to persuade him!"


    Everyone almost got onto their knees. To them, Hodge was like their ultimate savior!


    After bidding farewell to the crowd, Hodge thought for a while and decided to look for Eudora first.


    Compared to Tyler, she was more easy-going.


    She should have returned from the milkshake shop at this hour.


    Hodge had just reached the door when he saw Eudora entering the front hall. He chased hurriedly after


    her, "Miss Eudora... Oh, dear!"


    As soon as he stepped on the floor of the living room, Hodge slipped and fell to the ground heavily. It


    was so painful that he gritted his teeth.

    He nced at the floor, and it was sparkling clean!


    s, the servants did not lie to him.


    Hodge had once done Eudora a favor even before she moved into the Holt family. Naturally, she had


    some respect for him.


    Seeing that he had fallen to the ground, she walked over and helped him up.


    "Hodge, are you okay?"


    His back was hurting, but he kept a professional facade and refrained from showing his pain in front of


    her. He endured the pain and spoke,


    "It''s okay, I''m fine."


    "Why were you looking for me?"


    "Oh, Miss Eudora, I wanted to talk to you about Mr. Holt. Please don''t be angry with him, okay? Truth


    be told, he did not intend to hit you that day. Besides, I think that you may have crossed the line with


    your words."


    Eudora frowned. "Well, I don''t think so."


    In her mind, Tyler was a man who had always forcibly taken things from others and robbing others of


    their belongings. Who knows, perhaps he had even forced himself on her mother and that was how she


    was conceived.


    At the thought of this, Eudora became even more determined.


    She then turned away.


    "Hodge, thank you for your advice, but I don''t think that I have anything to say to him."


    "Miss Eudora, was there a misunderstanding between you and M.r Holt?" Hodge asked in confusion.


    They were father and daughter. How could there be so much hatred between them?


    Eudora didn''t bother to conceal anything. She said, "Yeah, I suppose there is. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be


    here today."


    Hodge pursed his lips and continued speaking, "Well, pardon my bluntness, but Mr. Holt has his own


    qualms too. Miss Eudora, you hate him for forcing you toe back, and I can understand that. But


    there is a reason for everything. Back then, he was tooidback around Madam Emily, and he ended


    up losing her."


    Eudora froze for a moment. "What do you mean?"


    Hodge nodded and replied, "You might not know this, but in fact, Mr. Holt did a lot for Madam Emily."


    Hodge had stayed by Tyler''s side for many years. Naturally, he knew the family''s affairs like the back of


    his hand.


    Since he was here to convince her, he decided not to hide anything from her and subsequently told her


    everything he knew.


    "When I started working for Mr. Holt, he was already with Madam Emily. Both of you were really alike.


    Madam Emily was a youngdy from a rich family. She was very kind and genuine. Later, Madam


    Emily''s family discovered her rtionship with Mr. Holt. Her parents were against the idea of having


    their daughter marry a hooligan. Therefore, they tried their best to suppress their rtionship. However,


    Madam Emily and Mr. Holt were very close. Her family''s oppression did not separate them even the


    slightest, and it had only toughened their rtionship instead.


    In order not to let Madam Emily suffer, Mr. Holt had put in a lot of effort during that time to rise to the


    top in the underworld.


    Even so, he was still polite to Madam Emily''s family. Her father was a schr, thus he was against the


    idea of the two of them being together despite Mr. Holt''s efforts. In the end, her parents came to a


    Mr. Holt agreed without hesitation, and then he told Madam Emily to wait for his return.


    However, Mr. Holt was wrong about one thing. It was easy to get into the underworld, but it was hard to


    leave.


    Mr. Holt went to look for the head of the underworld at that time and exined his situation to him. The


    boss flew into a rage and asked for Mr. Holt''s life on the spot. Even though Mr. Holt had promised that


    he would not reveal anything about their organization or the underworld, the boss still refused to let him


    leave there alive."
