Chapter 617


    Now that she had resolved the more pressing issues at hand, Eudora finally managed to get proper


    sleep.


    She was already awake by the time the servant came to call her. She saw that Juju was still sleeping


    soundly and helped cover her with the nket. Then, she got up, went to the other room, and applied


    some make-up.


    Since Tyler just passed away, there wasn''t a need for her to apply heavy make- up. She wore a ck


    suit and tied her hair into a ponytail.


    It managed to add some elegance to herself.


    After getting changed, Leslie led a few men into the Holt manor''s hall.


    As Eudora stood at the door, she could hear the loud whispers in the hall. All of them were questioning


    her ability and standards.


    Eudora took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.


    The hall was huge. After Eudora entered, the whispering voices instantly dissipated. Countless pairs of


    eyes looked up at Eudora.


    If she was a normal girl, she would''ve been slightly afraid. After all, she had yet experienced such an


    intimidating crowd before.


    Fortunately, Eudora had participated in several TV show auditions before. Back when she was abroad,


    she had also participated in quite a few fashion shows and events.


    She had long since gotten used to such a life of being the center of attention. She straightened her


    back, walked over calmly, and sat down at the highest position.


    Leslie quickly stood up and greeted, "Wee, everyone. This is the current head of our Holt family,


    Eudora George. You can call her Miss George."


    Leslie''s subordinates were very enthusiastic and pped loudly. As for Samuel''s team, they seemed to


    benguid and unbothered.


    Leslie frowned and said, "Samuel, what do you mean by this? You already heard Mr. Holt''s will


    yesterday, this is what he wants! What''s up with you today?"


    Samuel chuckled, "Leslie, I know that you''re always ttering Mr. Holt. However, Mr. Holt is human too,


    and I believe there will be times he makes mistakes. For instance, electing a woman to be our boss is a


    mistake. I didn''t say anything yesterday because we were standing in front of Mr. Holt''s grave. Today,


    I''m here only as a sign of respect for him since he was the one that discovered my talents. She can be


    our head, but it''s impossible for her to gain our respect!"


    "You!" Leslie gritted his teeth.


    "Uncle Leon!" Eudora interrupted Leslie''s words.


    Her voice wasn''t loud, and it even carried a very gentle tone. The group of people behind Samuel who


    had already looked down on Eudora grew even more unbridled.


    Some of them had already burst outughing.


    Eudora didn''t care. She trotted forward slowly and smiled at Samuel.


    "Uncle Chilton, right?"


    Those who could be by Tyler''s side were not young anymore. Thus, it was reasonable for Eudora to


    call him Uncle Chilton.


    She took the initiative to shake his hand.


    "Uncle Chilton, I didn''t have much contact with you in the past. I understand everything that you said


    just now, and I''m perfectly aware of your dissatisfaction with me! I won''t demand much from any of you.


    My only request is for everyone to do what they are supposed to. Anything beyond that is not under my


    control. Those parties and events can be omitted. I''m aware that you guys dislike me, so I''m happy to


    have some leisure time to myself."


    Eudora''s words were genuine. She didn''t enjoy gatherings at all, especially those with old, rough men.


    When they gathered, it didn''t feel like a gathering but more like a fight.


    Now that times were dire, it was naturally best if they did not have a gathering.


    Upon hearing this, Samuel felt even more delighted.


    "That''s good. Since Miss George thinks that way, then that''s the best! We''ll be leaving first!"


    Eudora nodded. Samuel was just about to leave when he heard someone rushing in from the outside,


    "Bad news! Bad news! Something has happened!"


    The man who came in was the manager of one of Samuel’s hotels. He immediately dashed in as soon


    as he got the news.


    Samuel frowned and asked, "Why are you panicking? What''s the matter? Let''s talk about it outside!"


    The manager nced at Eudora and was about to leave when she hurriedly stopped them.


    "Since it''s a matter regarding the Holt family, then let''s talk about it here! It''s good we can alle up


    with an idea how to deal with it!"


    The manager nced at Samuel again. Obviously, he did not take Eudora seriously.


    Leslie snorted and said, "Samuel, what''s the meaning of this? The head is talking to you, so why don''t


    you answer her?"


    Only then did Samuel snort, "Speak!"


    The manager immediately sputtered with a trembling voice.


    "Yes, it''s the head of the Carter family. I heard that something happened to him two days ago because


    of his absence at Mr. Holt''s funeral. His group was bought over, and within these two days, all the


    Carter family''s assets were donated to Greene City to build a garbage station."


    "Mr. Carter was devastated. This morning, he rushed into our hotel to cause trouble. I initially wanted to


    call the security guards to make him leave, but the situation grew out of control. One of our clients from


    Country M who is staying in the hotel was held hostage by Mr. Carter, who threatened everyone there


    with a dagger."


    "The situation is very chaotic now. Mr. Carter said that if we don''t return his group''s assets to him, he


    will perish together with the visitors from Country M!"


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    As soon as the manager finished speaking, everyone gasped on the spot.


    If any of the visitors from Country M were to get into trouble in Greene City in a hotel belonging to the


    Holt family, then both the Holt family and the people in Greene City would be punished!


    Samuel snickered coldly, "Miss, this is the trouble you have caused. I know that you did this for the


    sake of Mr. Holt''s glorious funeral, but aren''t your actions causing more loss than gain?"


    Samuel clearly thought that what happened that day was caused by Eudora''s attitude and whatever


    she said.


    Eudora frowned and replied, "Let''s not talk about this. Everyone else can leave and do their own


    business. Uncle Chilton, you and Uncle Leon shall apany me to the hotel."


    Leslie said hurriedly, "Miss, let me go instead!"


    Eudora was ady, after all. If something happened to her, he would never be able to get over it!


    Samuel snorted too, "Leslie is right. Miss, you''d better hide at home and take care of your children!


    Since this matter stemmed from my subordinate''s hotel, I will solve it!"


    Eudora frowned and ignored the two of them. She walked out and instructed, "Let''s go!"


    Samuel smiled scornfully and red at Leslie before following her with disdain, seemingly warning or


    teasing Leslie for ttering up to Eudora.


    At the entrance of Holt Hotel, many media reporters and onlookers had already arrived at the scene


    because the incident had caused too much of a stir.


    The police were also there. They were worried that Shawn would rebel against them, so they


    surrounded the outside of the hotel.


    They tried to keep the situation under control.


    Upon seeing Eudora and the others, a police officer came over to stop them.


    "I''m sorry, but there''s something crucial happening inside. You can''t go in."


    "We are the people in charge of the hotel!" The manager eximed, "This is our manager and our


    boss!"


    The police officer pursed his lips. Behind him, Harley immediately noticed Eudora.


    "What are you doing here? No one will save you if something happens!"
