Chapter 774
Amos'' original office had already been destroyed by the explosion, so the entire top floor of the Valiant
East Grouppany building had been cleared out. Maintenance workers were making the repairs
upstairs.
Eudora went up and stood there for a while before Clint came to report to her.
"As you''ve instructed, Mr. Granger''s things have all been packed away. The office has been emptied;
Sebastian is already making arrangements to move in."
"That doesn''t matter," she said. "Amos'' position will always be on the top floor; they can''te up."
"I''ve also applied for leave!" Clint continued. "Anya had said some time ago that she wanted to go on a
vacation. Initially, I didn''t have the time to go out, but now I have plenty of time."
Eudora understood what he meant. Clint was Amos'' right- hand man; even if he had not asked for
leave at this time, there was no use for him by Sebastian''s side.
She gave him a pat on the shoulder and smiled.
She smiled, "That''s good. You and Anya can finally get together!"
Clint smiled bitterly as he said, "Strictly speaking, Mr. Amos had been the one to get us together! If only
he were still here..."
Eudora was taken aback for a while. Clint quickly realized that he had said too much
He quickly apologized, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Granger. It wasn''t on purpose!"
Eudora shook her head, "It''s okay. I just didn''t think that a person like Amos could y matchmaker."
He had always been indifferent towards everything in life. Even though he was very gentle to her, she
remembered that he had always treated others coldly.
How had he ended up ying matchmaker?

Clint pursed his lips as he replied, "Although he had a cold exterior, he''s actually a very warm person."
"That''s true!" Eudora nodded.
"Then, you have to treat Anya well. When the both of you get married in the future, I will prepare a
huge wedding gift."
Charlie came to pick Eudora up and loaded berthings into the car.
She stood in front of the car and asked ndly, "Have you booked the flight ticket which I''d asked you
to?"
Charlie froze, and only nodded when he saw Eudora hinting at him.
"It''s already been booked, Mrs. Granger. You''re not in a happy mood now so it''s time to get away and
enjoy yourself."
Eudora sighed thoughtfully, "We had always wanted to go away for a vacation, but Amos never had the
time. Now that he doesn''t have to worry about thepany anymore, I''m going to bring him and the
children away to have fun."
Once the car had driven off a distance, Sebastian drew the curtains in the rear window and smugly
looked at his father.
"Dad, you''ve been worrying about nothing from day till night. Did you hear that? I knew it; how could
this woman have any capabilities? Without men, women no longer have a pir of support."
Roger felt a little more relieved, but he was still slightly worried.
"What about your bet though? You only have one month! If Amos were here that might be possible, but
you..."
Sebastian stiffened, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Don''t you have faith in your own son? Can''t I
evenpare to Amos, whose thoughts hadpletely been on that woman?"
Roger sighed and responded, "I''m just worried for you. Valiant East was hard to build up. Back then,
your great-grandfather had looked down on your grandfather. When it came to our turn, I had initially
given up on it. Luckily, we had received some shares; I''d thought that that was already the best
oue. However, now, we suddenly have a whole gold mine, the Valiant East Group! This was so
hard to obtain; my son, you can''t throw away this opportunity."
"Don''t worry!" Sebastian reassured him. "I''ve thought it over. Let the previous projects remain handled
by the ones from before. They''re already familiar with things, so there won''t be any problem. As for us,
I thought of a good idea. When Amos was still alive, hadn''t he invested in the construction of an
amusement park? The recent domestic amusement park project has been doing excellent. In fact, I
noticed that profits from the amusement park is higher than that of our vacation vis. Let''s make
another one!"
Roger nodded and agreed, "That''s a good idea. How can we build it in a month though? Not only can''t
we make it, we''ll even have to fork out money for it. That''s not good, not good at all."
"Dad, you''re such an old-fashioned blockhead. In the current digital age, do you think that we''re still
stuck in your era? Have you heard of crowdfunding? Modern celebrities are using this technique to
make money. As long as we publish this project on the inte and set it as an activity for public
welfare, with a huge backbone like the Valiant East Group, there will be plenty of investors. The
targeted statistics could be achieved within mere minutes!"
Roger''s face fell, "You want to use fundraising as a means? No, absolutely not! The Valiant East Group
is the hard-earned result by more than ten generations of the Granger family. I can''t allow you to act so
recklessly."
"What do you mean ''recklessly''?" Sebastian sighed in exasperation. "Dad, you''re really getting old.
This isn''t reckless! You haven''t even finished listening to what I have to say. What I meant was, this
fundraising project''s deadline will be in a month. By then, wouldn''t we have doubled our funds? Then,
won''t we have beaten Eudora? By that time, we would have taken control over the Valiant East Group,
then we would officially start building the amusement park. It will partially be for public welfare, while we
can also raise the reputation of the Granger family and earn more money. What''s not to like about this
n?"
Roger finally came to his senses and looked at his son approvingly.
"My good son, Sebastian, how did youe up with this idea? It''s quite a brilliant one."
"Of course!" Upon receiving apliment, Sebastian became cocky again. "Either way, your son isn''t
as useless as you think. This time, just wait to indulge in luxury with me!"
Meanwhile, Eudora had already packed up her things, and she was heading towards the outskirts of
Rosaville City.
Of course, she was not really going abroad, but was actually going to the cabin in the mountains near
the city. As soon as she arrived there, another car caught up to her.
Tina got out of the car and eximed, "Eudora, aren''t you being too mean? You didn''t even bring me
out to have fun together!"
Eudora was exasperated.
She pretended to be angry, "Can''t I be alone for some peace and quiet?"
"No! Eudora, you must stay with us. You are not allowed to be alone," Tina replied.
"You''re such a busybody!" Eudora remarked again in an exasperated tone. "Here''s the key, let''s go."
"Thank you, Eudora!" Tina smiled.
The house in front was still in the same condition as they had left it previously, but with ayer of dust
on its surface. Eudora tidied up for a bit. After cing down her items, she came out to see Tina
ying around with the two children in the empty space in front of the door.
She casually sat down on the wooden steps and watched as they yed.
Thest time she hade here, Amos had still been by her side. However, now, it was as though a
whole lifetime had passed. She still could not ept the reality that Amos was no more.
Footsteps sounded behind her. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat, asking aloud, "Amos?"
She turned around to meet Christopher''s worried gaze, "Are you okay?"
Eudora snapped back to reality, "Oh, I''m fine!"
Christopher frowned, "I''ve heard about what happened in the Valiant East Group. I thought that you
would have reasoned with them, but you gave up just like that? What are you actually thinking?"
