《My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 "Felix, I can''t take it anymore... ah..." "Little one, you are telling me that you can''t take it anymore now, huh?" And they went for another round yet again. Eudora George suppressed the urge to vomit and turned off the surveince camera. That was her husband, Felix Meyer. They had been married for three years but he never once touched her. He''d rather indulge himself in alcohol and women outside. There was a knock on the door. Fler mother-inw, Laura Westin, shouted from outside, "Why are you hiding in the room again? Are you rebelling because Felix is not home? You¡¯ve been married for three years and you can''t even bear him a child. Why are you being so unreasonable? Why didn''t youe out and cook? Do you want to starve me to death? " ''Heh, it takes two hands to p. Giving birth to a child isn''t something that I can do alone. Am I supposed to reproduce on my own?'' Eudora thought. Eudora suppressed her nauseated feeling and opened the door and headed to the kitchen. Ever since she married into the Meyer family, her life had been nothing but a living hell. She gave up her independence and the opportunity to build her career. She gave up everything she had. She thought that as long as she tried hard enough, she would win Felix''s heart. It seemed that despite giving her all, the only thing she earned was his family''s growing hatred towards her. Who would care about the sadness in her heart? "Ah! Eudora, are you crazy? I asked you to cook! Instead you are mixing your blood with the dishes! Are you trying to disgust me to death?" She heard Laura¡¯s nagging and realised that she had just cut her finger. But she didn''t feel any pain at all. She looked at the bright red blood dripping from her finger, and then at her mother- in-w''s disgusted look, she suddenly screamed in desperation. She felt so wronged. It waste at night. Eudora walked along the narrow and deserted street with a numb expression on her face, but there was a feeling of relief in her heart. She had unknowingly wandered to the ghettos in Rosaville City. There were rubbish and iplete constructions everywhere. The area was filled with the homeless, beggars and drunks. The Meyer family didn''t like her, but they refuse to grant her a divorce. Since they were being so mean, it''s payback time. She was nning to lose her virginity to the dirtiest and ugliest person she could find on the streets. "Mmm..." She heard moaning from the dark corner and Eudora walked over bravely. Under the dim streetlight, a man was lying there. His clothes were covered with blood, his face ruined by cuts and bruises. ''Fights happen very frequently in this impoverished area. He must be a delinquent.1 Eudora thought. Eudora clenched her teeth and reached out to unbutton the man''s shirt. She could feel her heart beating violently as she unbuttoned the first and second button. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The man''s firm chest was exposed and she could feel him tremble at her every touch. When she reached thest button, she suddenly heard a faint voice. "What are you doing?" Eudora shivered. The man opened his eyes and stared at her, his eyes as sharp as an eagle''s. At that very moment, Eudora wanted to escape. But when she thought of how the Meyer family members had mistreated her all this while, she held back. "What do you think?" Her soft hands simply unbuttoned thest button and she slowly reached into the man''s chest, rubbing his raw skin. The sudden intimacy made the man''s body tense up. Eudora removed the final barrier between the two of them and pressed her entire body against the man. It was as though the man was entranced by the unique fragrance and softness of the woman touching him, he found himself unable to resist the gentle but somewhat unskilled touch of the woman lying above him. He couldn''t take it anymore and grabbed her. "Woman, you asked for it." At the moment when he finally thrusted into her, a teardrop rolled down from the corner of Eudora''s eye. The man suddenly stopped. He gently kissed the woman''s tears away and patiently held her hand as he slowly brought her to climax. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Amos Granger''s eyes shot wide open when he heard footsteps approaching him from far away. It was already morning. "It''s me!1'' Harley Louis walked over quickly. ''''It took me a lot of time to find you. It''s good that you''re still alive." Amos¡¯ dark eyes dimmed a little. "Are you seriously injured? Are you okay?" Harley spoke as he gathered Amos'' tattered clothes. Amos had several deep wounds inflicted on the vital parts of his body. Fortunately he carried some special medication with him, otherwise he probably would have died. With a serious look, Harley said in a deep voice, "They will really do whatever it takes to kill you!" "Good that you know." Amos pushed Harley''s helping hand away and tried buttoning his shirt. An ambiguous mark was left on Amos¡¯ body. Harley grabbed Amos¡¯ hand and asked, "What''s this?" Upon inspecting the mark, Harley realised that it was a hickey. He immediately jumped up. "The Granger family is really ruthless. Not only did they stab you until you can''t move anymore, they actually sent a woman to seduce and insult you. They knew that you hate women, yet they deliberately do it to make you feel disgusted! Where did she touch you?" Amos knitted his brows as he recalledst night''s incident carefully. ''Disgust him? If they really wanted to insult him that way, they would not have sent such a woman here. Plus it was the woman¡¯s first time Amos suddenly remembered the addictive pleasure he hadst night and how intoxicated the woman made him feel. His eyes quickly lit up in desire. Harley was frightened when Amos did not say anything. "Please don''t tell me...? Did you really...?" Harley remembered thest time when a woman recklessly touched Amos'' finger, his whole body was covered with rashes and it took a very, very long time before he got well. If he really slept with a woman, it''s really bad news. "Are you really alright? Do you have rashes? Oh no, I forgot to bring the medicine. Don''t worry, I''ll remember this and take revenge for you in the future!" Harley started bbering. "Shut up!" Amos helplessly stared at Harley, "Send me to the hospital now!" Harley just remembered that Amos¡¯ wounds were more serious than the rashes. "I''ll take you to the hospital now!" Eudora dragged her aching body as she slowly walked home. The man wasn''t satisfied with just having done it once. They went for it a few more times, and by the time they were done it was almost dawn. As soon as she opened the front door, she saw Laura stomping towards her. "Oh you still know how toe back? You''re the daughter- in-w of the Meyer family, and yet you went out all night. Tell me, where did you go?" Eudora was tired so she ignored her. Laura grabbed Eudora¡¯s clothes. "How daring of you to act so rudely to me? Did you forget how your family begged our Felix to marry you? " Eudora snorted coldly and pushed Laura away. "They begged you so you should go and look for them!" Laura identally pulled Eudora¡¯s cor, revealing the marks on her neck. "You!" Laura''s eyes widened. "Eudora George. How dare you cheat behind my son¡¯s back! I''m going to teach you a lesson." In the conservatory, Laura made Eudora kneel on the ground in front of her, her face contorted in anger. "Are you going to tell me or not?" "I don''t know!" Eudora looked at Laura viciously and felt triumphant at the taste of sweet revenge. "You don¡¯t want to tell me? Let''s see if I will beat you to death or not!" The canended on Eudora again and again. The pain made Eudora curl up and her hair was soaked This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. in cold sweat. She smiled wryly. "Your son can drink and have fun outside, but I can¡¯t even find a lover outside? He doesn''t have any self-control or respect for his wife, that is why I cheated on him. This is revenge! It''s only fair!" Laura was so angry that she staggered backwards. She repeatedly hit Eudora with the cane. "Do you think you are still the eldest daughter of the George family? Your family ran out of luck a long time ago. If it weren''t for our Felix, who pitied you, you would be even worse off than a beggar now. How dare you ask for fairness and justice? I''m going to teach you a good hard lesson today!" The canended on Eudora''s head and she fainted from the final stroke. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Woosh! Eudora George opened her eyes when a bucket of cold water was sshed on her face.- ''Is she dead? Is she in heaven? If there was a next life, she wants to be a person who can decide her own fate.1 she thought. "Oh, First Miss, are you awake?" "You were caught red-handed by the Meyer family for having an affair!" Eudora''s stepsister Kesha George uttered in disdain. "They sent you back, do you know that? The entire George family''s reputation has been ruined by you!" "Kesha, what are you talking about?" It was her maniptive stepmother, Felicia Maurice. Eudora looked at the gloating faces of Felicia and Kesha in front of her, and she smiled bitterly in her heart. It turned out that it was not heaven. It was back to hell. She struggled and winced at her aching body as she sat up. She smirked. "Well, I was just following the footsteps of this family anyway. The mistress now bes the wife." "You..." Kesha red at her angrily. "Dad, did you hear what Eudora just said?" Gordon George stood next to Kesha. Eudora finally noticed that her father was there as well. She puckered her lips, keeping quiet out of respect for her father. "Dad, I want a divorce!" Eudora said firmly. "I do not agree!" Gordon spoke loudly. She felt a pang of disappointment. She thought that even though her other family members had always mistreated her, her father would still stand by her side. Eudora sneered and tried to leave the room. "I do not care if you agree or not. I''m already an adult." "How dare you!" Gordon was so angry that he started coughing violently. The cough was so bad that he struggled to catch his breath. Eudora stopped walking, but she didn''t turn around. Felicia and Kesha quickly went over to help Gordon to calm down. "Gordon, aren''t you nning to tell Eudora about our family''s situation? There''s a problem with our project and we''ve lost 50 million dors. The George Family''s foundation would copse without Felix''s support!" Eudora was shocked. She remembered what Laura said when she was hitting her. Was that what she said, true? "What the hell is going on?" "Eudora!" Gordon burst into tears. "I hope you don''t me me. I was not able to do anything. Yourte mother and I built our wealth and influence together from scratch. But I have failed her. I am going to be the one who is going to single-handedly destroy it!" Mother! Eudora remembered that when her mother died, she made her promise to do everything possible to protect the George family. If only her mother were still alive... "This is thest time, I promise! Eudora, please apologize to Felix again. As long as the George family is able to survive this crisis, I will definitely take you back!" Eudora turned around and looked at Gordon pitifully. She no longer believed in her father, but for the sake of the promise she made to herte mother, she was willing to try one final time. In the hospital. After clearing all the required tests in the hospital, Harley Louis returned to the ward only to see the patient had already worn his clothes. After tidying himself up, Amos Granger looked nothing like a beggar. His exotic handsome features exude a mysterious charm and he looked like a person drawn out of a painting. His eyes gave him the aura of a royalty. He leanedzily on the sofa and started smoking. "What are you doing? Do you really think that you are made of iron? The doctor said that you need to rest for at least half a month!" The smoke enveloped Amos'' face, blurring his expression. The only thing visible was his cold piercing eyes. "Do you think those people in the Granger family will let me rest for half a month?" Harley recalled how surprised the physician was when he saw the wounds on Amos'' body. The crazy people in the Granger family would not be so kind to let him off so easily. "Okay, since the hospital is discharging you, you should go home and rest up. I''ll send over a few men to guard your ce for the time being." "Okay!" Amos said faintly, "Before we leave, could you please help me retrieve the recordings from the surveince cameras around the area you found me at?" Harley was stunned. "What are you going to do? Are you trying to relive your exciting moment heh?" This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. Amos nced at him, "I''m looking for someone." "Who are you looking for?" After saying that, Harley sped his mouth with his hands in realization. "Shit! Don''t... Don''t tell you''re going to look for the woman they sent? You... you''re not into SM, are you?" "Shut up!" Amos said coldly. "Oh!" Harley suddenly became silent. "I''ll try my best!" Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The Meyer Residence. When Eudora George returned to her marital residence, it was alreadyte at night.- When she walked past the living room, she noticed that her husband and her mother-inw were eating dinner together. Laura Westin immediately threw her spoon onto the table at the sight of her. "I don''t want to eat anymore! My appetite is ruined!" Eudora ignored her and walked straight ahead. "Stop!" Felix Meyer suddenly opened his mouth. When Eudora turned back to look at him, Felix sneered and pointed at the ground. "Kneel down and crawl to me." Fie shouted at her like she was a dog. Eudora pursed her lips and lowered her head, masking her expression. "What? You don''t want to?" Eudora still didn''t move, refusing to entertain Felix. Fler indifference made Felix angry. Fie stood up from the table and stomped over to Eudora. Fie grabbed her chin roughly, lifted her face and red at her. "Eudora George, are you pretending to be noble? You''re just a lowly person and you should be grateful that I married you out of your poverty. Besides, did I not treat you well enough? You get 10,000 dors worth of monthly allowance without even having to work your ass outside. I just asked you to cook something for my mother, and yet you betrayed me? You cheated on me?" "Ha ha!" Eudora sneered, "Did you really think that that is considered as good treatment? In that case, why don''t you hire a servant instead? At least a servant still has rights and control over her own life. Me? I have nothing! If you think that I''m having such a good life, why don''t you switch with me? I''ll give you 10,000 dors every month. You serve your mother and myself. You don''t need to do much, just make us three meals a day. What do you say?" "Pa!" Felix gave Eudora a hard p. Eudora subconsciously returned the p, but she was held back by Felix. "Do you want to die? I think you did not realise how much your pathetic father begged me today. He begged me not to divorce you and asked me to forgive you onest time! He also knelt down to me! And you dare to try and hit me? If you hit me, I''ll immediately ask people to mess up with your family¡¯ s Eudora clenched her teeth and balled her hands into fists. She finally saw clearly that her husband is nothing but a scumbag! Felix loosened his grip on Eudora¡¯s wrist and patted her cheek. "That''s good. Isn¡¯t it better if you act like this from now on. You are lucky that you have a good father. If he didn''t kneel down and beg me, I wouldn''t have let you off so easily. Be a good girl from now on, or else don''t me me for not considering our rtionship as husband and wife." After Felix finished talking, he looked at the servant next to him and said, "Keep an eye on Young Madam. If she goes out and stirs up trouble again, you will be the one responsible!" "Yes sir!" Eudora stood in the living room, her feet cold as ice. She could hear the faint sound of raised voices arguing from upstairs. "Why are you still keeping this kind of trash around? Are you trying to make things difficult for me? Why won''t you just divorce her?" She could hear Felix''s arrogant and loud voice answering his mother. "Why should I divorce her? Don''t you know that Eudora has the most beautiful face in the whole of Rosaville City? There are so many people who are envious of me? Marrying a beauty like that who doesn''t stop me from having fun This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. outside, it''s a win-win situation isn''t it? I can''t ask for more. I''m not going to divorce..." Eudora smiled wryly. The most beautiful face in Rosaville City? She once thought that her pretty face was a gift from God. Turns out, it''s a blessing... and a curse. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Three dayster, in the Granger family¡¯s mansion. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. On the second floor of the mansion was a study room. It was decorated in a subtle but luxurious European style. The room had a ck theme, symbolising calmness and quietness. Harley Louis leaned against the window and chattered incessantly. "The old guys in the Granger family are really one of a kind. When they saw youe back, I swear they were cursing you under their breaths. But they still had to pretend to wee you home. They really should get Oscars for their acting." Amos Granger paid no heed to Harley''s chatter. His slender fingers were holding a cigarette which had stopped burning since a while ago. When Harley finally stopped talking, Amos asked, "Where''s the person I asked you to look for?" Harley gulped. "It''s really not my fault. That part of town is really messy and underdeveloped so there weren''t any survelliance cameras there for the longest time." Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. The servant spoke softly, "First Young Master, the preparation has beenpleted. Old Master invites you downstairs." "Got it." Outside the Granger Family''s mansion, Eudora George''s body was stiff as ice as she looked numbly at the ground. She wore a red shoulder-length dress, emphasising her perfect figure andplementing her pale fair skin. After dressing up, she looked like a delicate red rose. Felix Meyer nodded in satisfaction and warned her in a low voice, "This is a big event we''re going to. You''d better behave well and don''t make any trouble. Otherwise, there will be consequences." After that, he grabbed Eudora¡¯s arm and stepped into the Granger''s family''s mansion. Eudora attracted everyone''s attention the moment she and Felix entered the hall. Felix enjoyed the attention - the feeling of being envied by other men. Fie tightened his grip on Eudora. As soon as Amos went downstairs, he saw a beautiful figure and stopped. "What are you looking at?" Harley asked. "Who is that?" Following Amos'' gaze, Harley saw the beautiful woman in red. "Fley, she really is quite a beauty. Flow Phantom Group. Word has it that he is an aspiring businessman and a force to be reckoned with. Phantom Group has been quite popr for the past few years..." Amos didn''t say a word, but his eyes fell on the woman once again. He remembered the instance her soft and delicate fingers ran across his body, his heart beating wildly at her every touch. That night, even though he was seriously injured, he clearly remembered the way that woman was able to unlock the inner hunger and desire in him. It was an unforgettable experience to say the least. Especially when she is this hot and sexy... all the more reason he would never forget her. And I thought I wouldn''t be able to find her... The beauty greeted Harley and left for the bathroom. Amos nudged Harley, who was standing next to him, "You go ahead, I''lle backter." He then followed the steps of thedy. In the bathroom. Eudora patted her face with a napkin, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Felix had always been a calctive person - he had always brought her along whenever he needed to attend such important events. Honestly if the George family didn''t need Felix and his financial support, she would not give a piece of mind to those men who had always given her dirty looks. But for now, she must bear it all. After freshening up, Eudora stepped out of the bathroom. Outside the bathroom, a man stood by the corridor with his back against the wall. His posture was rather disarming, but his aura still captivating. Eudora was stunned for a moment before she slowly walked over. When she passed by the man, he grabbed her arm. "Why? Don''t you recognize me?" When Eudora heard this, she took a good look of the man. He was indeed really charming. If she had met him before, she would definitely not forget that stunning face. "I''m sorry, sir. I''m afraid you''ve mistaken me for someone else." "Heh... is that so?" Amos smiled warmly. He tightened his grip on Eudora and pinned her against the wall. "What about this? Do you remember me now?" Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The man was emitting a dangerous aura, sending shivers to Eudora George''s body. Especially where there wasn''t anyone else in the corridor, she began to feel a little nervous. "Let go of me!" "You''re asking me to let go of you? Weren''t you the one who took the initiative that night?" Amos Granger''s words struck her like a bolt of lightning. That night? She took another good look. The man standing in front of her looked like a model - stunningly handsome features with a strong, muscr build and an innate noble temperament. He looked "What are you talking about? I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Woman..." Amos gently pinched Eudora¡¯s chin. "There isn''t a woman in this world who dares to defy __ _ ii me. As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the woman''s lips. Just like that night, he was in control and his kiss carried a certain tinge of vengeance. Eudora¡¯s heart trembled. "Is this man really him? But I thought he was just a delinquent roaming in that part of town? How could he be this man standing in front of me now?" Their lips shed against each other''s, one fighting the other for dominance. The woman''s sweet breath made Amos recall the night they spent together. He felt a tightness in his lower body and he subconsciously leaned closer to her. Eudora was shocked by his gesture and tried to push him away, "What are you trying to do?" "You took advantage of me that night. And now it''s my turn. It''s only fair!" "No!" Eudora cried out in shock. "I..." Before she could finish her sentence, Amos crashed his lips against hers again. Unlike before, Amos was even more passionate and enthusiastic this time. Eudora was helpless against his firm grasp and soon she felt her butt pressing against the sink in the bathroom as she staggered backwards. He lifted her dress as he leaned his hip forward. As she trembled next to him, he whispered into her ear aggressively, "Remember my name, I''m Amos Granger!" "Amos Granger?" The man in front of her turned out to be Amos Granger, one of the most sessful businessmen in Rosaville City. Rumor has it that he was a ruthless and decisive man. Thepaniespeting against him in the business world would never survive for more than a year. Same goes for his women. Just short of two years after returning to Rosaville City, there were already at least two women rumored to be involved with him. How on earth did shee across such a yer? Amos, on the other hand, weren''t the slightest perturbed by the thoughts running through the woman''s mind. He was in a good mood today as he stroked Eudora¡¯ s stray bangs away from her beautiful face. Pa! Eudora pped his hand away. "There''s no need to trouble yourself, Mr. Granger. I''ll do it myself." Feisty, just like a wild kitty. Amos nced at her yfully, his arms folded in front of his chest, "You haven''t told me your name yet!" Eudora''s hand trembled, clenching her teeth she answered, "I don''t think there is any need to know my name. That is all for today. I am no longer in your debt!" Before Amos could react further, Eudora quickly rushed out of the door. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Amos Granger narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman¡¯s figure scurrying away. Eudora felt heat rise to her cheeks and tears started welling up in her eyes as she ran away from the man. Felix yelled impatiently at her when she returned, "What are you doing? Why were you in the bathroom for so long?" Eudora hurriedly wiped her tears away, assured herself that she was fine and walked over to her husband. "I''m feeling a little ufortable. I want to go back first." "What?" Felix was upset by herment. "I told you the reason we are here. Tonight is a big event! I have yet to meet the rest of the important clients. You are not allowed to leave!" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Eudora George shifted ufortably. She really didn''t want to stay even a minute longer. She muttered under her breath. "It doesn''t really matter whether I''m here or not when ites to your business matters, am I right?" "I told you to stay, so stop saying all this nonsense." Felix Meyer was angry. He raised his hand and waved it towards Eudora''s face. The next second, a big hand grabbed him. Felix was so angry that he cursed, "Who the f*ck dares to stop me?" "How dare you! Do you think this is a ce where you can do whatever you like?" Clint Zuckerberg, Amos Granger''s assistant, said sternly. It was only then that Felix noticed that the person who grabbed him was Amos Granger, an influential businessman in Rosaville City. He immediately changed his expression and replied politely. "Mr Granger. My apologies for not recognizing you earlier.." Amos nced faintly at the woman standing next to Felix and said coldly, "Don''t you know it is not right to hit a woman? Isn''t the Meyers a well-educated and powerful family? How could you not know that?" "Mr. Granger, you''re right. I was not thinking right. Our family rules have always been very strict. Perhaps if you have some time, would you like to sit down and have a chat? What do you say, Mr. Granger?." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Even though the Phantom Group had been doing very well, but it was nothingpared to the Valiant Eastpany of the Granger family. Felix naturally wanted to get on Amos'' good side. "There''s no need for that!" Amos was disinterested. Instead, he nced at Eudora, "Who is this?" Felix thought that his ns had fallen through, but when he heard Amos'' question, he quickly grabbed Eudora''s hand and pulled her forward. "This is my wife, Eudora George." Fie knew that keeping this woman by his side would still be useful. ''Wife?'' Amos frowned and looked at Eudora with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Flowever, Eudora refused to entertain the man she was just introduced to. No matter how strong her heart was, it was impossible for her to face a man who had just tried to make a move on her. "Are you done with your introductions? Then I''ll leave." Felix warned in a low voice, "What are you trying to do again? Don''t forget what I told you before we came." Eudora felt a wave of sadness in her heart. "Do you know what you look like now? You sound like a pimp trying to look for a customer for your own wife!" Felix was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. "Eudora George, don''t be so shameless!" He did not raise his voice too loudly, but people around could see that the two of them were arguing. Amos'' face gradually darkened. Clint, who was standing next to him, sensed that there was something was off. He was a little puzzled when he heard Amos said, "There was a projectst month in Valiant East. It seems that the Phantom Group took part in the bidding too, am I right?" Felix was overjoyed. "Yes, Mr. Granger! I didn''t expect that you would be interested in our small Clint scoffed quietly. It was obvious that the man was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter. The Boss had always been a workaholic. Obviously he would know the ins and outs of his own "Bring the documents for the project tomorrow and let''s talk about it in my office!" Felix was surprised by the sudden proposition. He was extremely delighted. He quicklyposed himself, "Certainly, Mr. Granger. I will meet you personally tomorrow morning." "No!" Amos looked at the woman next to him, who had her head lowered the whole time, "Ask her to bring them instead!" Eudora was stunned and quickly raised her head when she heard what Amos said. However, when her eyes meet his, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned her head away. "But I''m not an employee of thepany!" "Then forget it!" Amos'' mood turned sour. He didn''t really care about this project in the first ce, and Phantom Group wasn''t his first choice anyway. "Not an issue Mr. Granger!" Felix said, "You can rest assured that we will definitely be present at your office tomorrow!" After Amos left, Felix pulled Eudora aside and decided to leave the mansion as well. There was much to prepare for the important meeting tomorrow. After leaving the Granger family''s mansion, Eudora pushed Felix away. "Felix, what do you mean? Who gave you the right to make that decision?" Felix sneered and his face suddenly darkened. "I haven''t even asked you yet! Why did Amos ask for you specifically to go to his office? What''s the rtionship between the two of you?" Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Eudora George pursed her lips and didn''t say anything. She was still thinking about the way Amos Granger looked her just now. His gaze was so piercing that it sent shivers down her whole body. What does he want? Why did he ask her to go his office? She couldn''t figure out what he was thinking. "I''m asking you a question, did you hear me?" Felix Meyer grabbed Eudora''s cor. When he saw the hickeys on Eudora''s neck, he could feel his blood boil. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Well well, Eudora George, it seems that I had underestimated you. Why did you take so long at the bathroom earlier? You''re still my woman, and yet you still dare to cheat in front of me? I ought to teach you a lesson today!" Eudora sneered, "Your woman? Aren''t the women of the Meyer family just objects to be exchanged for favors? Or are they solely used to attract people''s attention?" "You..." Felix clenched his teeth. "You''re really asking for it..." He raised his hand high and in a quick motion it almost hit Eudora''s face. Eudora could almost feel that the impending forcending on the side of her face. Suddenly he stopped. "Are you trying to piss me off? So that I''ll hit you? I know your tricks. Mr. Granger is still waiting for you. Anyway, you''re damaged goods, so it doesn''t really matter." Eudora clenched her teeth. "Felix, are you still a man?" "Of course I''m a man. Not only that, I want to be the greatest man of all men!" After saying this, he pushed Eudora into the car and left the mansion. Standing next to the window on the second floor, Amos witnessed the whole interaction between the couple behind the curtains. Felix drove Eudora to thepany instead of going home. The Phantom Group held a meeting overnight to discuss about the project. When the people who attended the meeting saw Eudora, they were all very puzzled. They all knew that Felix had many women outside, but they didn''t know he had such a beauty. Especially when the woman just lowered her head and did not speak a word throughout the night. Fler beauty shone even though she looked quite restless. A few of the younger staffs were distracted by her during the meeting, irritating Felix. Fie however did not say a word. Everyone worked hard through the night, and it was already past midnight when they finallypleted the final preparations. Felix threw the thick stack of documents in front of Eudora and nced at his wristwatch. "I''ll give you two hours to memorize this. If anything goes wrong tomorrow, I''m not going to let you off easily!" Eudora didn''t say a word, nor did she touch the documents on the table. One of the young men in the conference room looked at the woman pitifully. "President Meyer, it is already quitete. Why don''t you go back and rest first? It''s okay to memorize it tomorrow. If it doesn''t go well, we still have our colleagues with us. Everything will be fine." Felix looked at the young man coldly and said, "Get out of here." The young man was stunned. "President Meyer..." "I told you to get out of here! Get out!" The young man''s expression changed. After a few seconds, he turned around and left the conference room. The others too excused themselves after seeing Felix''s temper. Only Eudora and Felix were left in the room. Fie sneered, "Look at the power you possess, Eudora. A stranger was willing to risk his job and plead for you even though you were just sitting here minding your own business. You must feel very good about it." "Are you done talking? I said I won''t go to Valiant East. You can find someone else!" Eudora got up from her seat. Felix threw a piece of document at her stiff body. "Leave if you want. As soon as you leave, I''ll sign this document." Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The document was an agreement on the Phantom Group''s legal acquisition of the George family''s Everpeace Group. Just two days ago, the Phantom Group acquired Everpeace Group. Eudora George saw the name ''Gordon George'' on the contract and remembered what her father said to her before she returned to the Meyer residence that day. "Eudora, this is thest time I assure you! As long as the George family is able to survive this crisis, I will definitely bring you back!" "Heh! What a liar!" When she flipped open the rest of the pages of document, Everpeace Group was indeed already acquired by the Phantom Group. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "You still don''t know, do you? The government is nning to develop Rosaville City and they were looking at building a waste- processing factory in the city. It took me some time to consider the most suitable location to build the factory, but now that I think about it, thend where the Everpeace group is built on seems to be the perfect spot..." Felix Meyer smiled evilly. "Pa!" Eudora gave Felix a hard p. "Felix Meyer, you''re so shameless!" Felix instinctively licked the blood at the corner of his mouth with his tongue. "Eudora, just because I didn''t hit you today doesn''t mean that you can do whatever you want. If you fail tomorrow, trust me I''ll make sure the Everpeace Group bes a garbage dump!" "I''ll memorize it!" Eudora angrily took the documents. "But I have one condition. Promise me you will return Everpeace Group to me if I''m able to sessfully secure this project for you!" "Return it to you?" Felixughed scornfully. "Eudora you naive little girl. Do you know how much money I spent on buying this trash? 80 million dors!" "Fine, 80 million dors it is!" Eudora clenched her teeth. Felix red at Eudora in contempt. "We''ll talk about it when you have money!" Before she married Felix, Eudora graduated from one of the top management universities and even worked in Everpeace Group for several years. She was well- versed with dealing with projects and securing deals. She quickly memorised the key points needed for the discussion. Upon seeing this, Felix left the building and drove his car out. The next morning, outside Valiant East. Clint Zuckerberg was notified of the arrival of Felix and Eudora at the entrance of the building. Fie quickly informed Amos, "Sir, they have arrived." "Okay!" Amos stood up from his chair and ced his hands into his pockets. Fie walked over to the edge of the ss windows and took a deep breath, enjoying the picturesque view in front of him. It was a sunny day - the sky was blue and there were white clouds slowly floating along the horizon. The weather was perfect. Eudora opened the door and got off the car. Felix reminded her once again, "The future of Everpeace Group is in your hands!" Eudora narrowed her eyes at Felix and mmed the door behind her. After handing Eudora her temporary pass, the receptionist led her to the top floor. Eudora stood in the elevator and tried topose herself. She was feeling very nervous. The elevator doors opened at the highest floor. Eudora squeezed the file in her hands and stepped out of the elevator. Clint was already waiting for her and weed her warmly. Fie said politely, "The boss is waiting for you inside. Pleasee with me." "Will there be others joining us for the meeting?" Eudora asked subconsciously. Clint was puzzled at her query. "Flm?" "I mean... we are discussing about a project up for bidding, yes? Shouldn''t the relevant departments be present in the meeting to make the final decision?" Clint stifled augh at her innocent question. "No, Mr. Granger makes the final decision." Eudora let out an embarrassedugh. "Of course. What was I thinking." "Miss George, please follow me." Clint walked ahead of her and through the corridor. Finally, he stopped at the entrance to an office and went forward to knock on the door. Clint turned around and said to Eudora, "Miss George, please go on ahead!" Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Eudora George took a deep breath and turned the door handle. As she stepped inside, she noticed arge extravagant desk in the center of the room. The man was leaning with his back against the desk. "Mr. Granger!" Eudora spoke. "Ah! You''re here." Amos Granger''s voice was very calm and indifferent. On the other hand, the indifference in Amos'' voice made Eudora even more nervous. "Don''t be nervous. Take a seat." Amos said as he turned around to face Eudora. He was just as stunning as she had seen him yesterday. And his eyes especially. If you stare at them long enough, his watchful gaze seemed to be able to pierce through your soul. "That''s alright!" Eudora ced the file on the table. "This is the Phantom Group''s proposal. Please take a look." "There''s no need to rush!" Amos didn''t even nce at the document on the table. He walked around the table and towards Eudora. His tall stature was very intimidating as he approached her. With every step he took towards her, Eudora could feel her heart tremble as she took a step back. "Why did you look like you didn''t sleep wellst night?" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Ah?" Eudora was confused. ''What did he mean?1 she thought to herself. "Felix doesn''t treat you very well, does he?" "What are you trying to say, Mr. Granger? Does it matter if Felix treats me well or not? What does that have to do with you or with the project?" "Of course it has something to do with the project!" Amos replied calmly, "If it weren''t for you, the Phantom Group wouldn''t even have the chance to bid for the project." Eudora didn''t realise that she had walked herself to the corner of the office, her back falling against the wall. There were no other ways to escape. Once again, she was cornered to the wall by the man. Fie breathed in her scent. It was that very scent that made him intoxicated. Eudora knew the intentions of the man standing in front of her - her hands instinctively reached towards his chest to push him away. "Mr. Granger, I''ve told youst night that we''re even now and we don''t owe each other anymore. If you are going to act so inappropriately towards me again, rest assured I will not hold back." Amos chuckled, "Are you afraid of me?" "I know what you''re trying to do to me. Obviously I''d be scared, won''t I?" Eudora responded. Amos heard what she said and let go of her. Fie sat on the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him. "You knew and yet you still came here?" "I''m here for the project!" Eudora picked up the file from the table and pushed it to Amos. Amos still refused to look at the proposal. "Didn''t I make myself clear? Any otherpany can do the project much better. Why should I choose Phantom Group? Give me a reason." Eudora clenched her teeth. "What do I have to do to make you take a look at the proposal." "Be my woman!" Amos eximed. "Impossible!" Eudora was taken aback. "I''m married. I''m Felix Meyer''s wife." "Oh!" Amos was not surprised at all. "So what if you''re married? Weren''t you the one who seek me out that night? We''re all adults, we have our own needs. I think you understand..." ''We have our own needs?'' Eudora''s face turned pale. "What kind of person do you think I am?" Amos raised his eyebrows, "A married woman roaming around in the middle of the night to find a man to pleasure herself. What kind of person do you think I will see you as?" "You!" Eudora''s face turned red. "That night was just an ident! Mr. Granger, if you do not have any ns to discuss about the proposal, then I don''t think we have anything else to say to each other." "Ok!" Amos crossed his legs and staredzily at the upset woman in front of him. "If you reject me today, I believe there will be repercussions waiting for you at the Meyer Family yes?" "That''s none of your business!" After that, Eudora rushed out and left the office. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Felix Meyer tapped his feet as he waited impatiently downstairs. He saw his wifeing out in a hurry. He quickly opened the door. "How did it go?" Eudora George threw the stack of documents into his hands. "Felix, I can''t do it. Go and find someone else!" Felix''s face darkened. "Eudora, are you f*cking joking with me? You were up there for so long and now you''re telling me that you can''t do it? Didn''t you already memorise what to discuss about? Can''t you do one simple thing right?" "Oh... Did you think it''s as simple as just negotiating for a contract? Then why don''t you go to do it yourself?" Eudora retorted. Felix red at Eudora. "So what? It''s not the first time you slept with someone anyway. Are you tossing my interests aside after you had your own fun?" "Felix!" Eudora shouted harshly. "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Nonsense? How dare you! Let''s see how long you''re able to continue pretending to be noble when in actual fact you''re such a shameless woman!" He began tearing Eudora''s clothes apart on the street. Eudora struggled with all her might. Her defiance and rebellion drove Felix out of his mind. Pa! Eudora gave Felix a hard p. "Felix, you are an animal!" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. The p was so hard that blood started dripping from the corner of his mouth. Felix licked the blood away with his tongue and sneered. "Are you giving up on your family?" The George family... She promised herte mother that she would protect Everpeace Group with all her life. But if her mother were still here, would she have wanted her daughter to betray herself for the sake of the George family? She had already made a mistake once by marrying into the Meyer family, must she make another mistake again? Felix smirked in content when Eudora lowered her head and did not say anything. Fie knew that her family was her weakness. Fie knew that threatening her with the George family would keep her obediently by his side. But little did he know, she started chuckling eerily. "It''s up to you what you want to do! Let''s get a divorce!" "What?" Felix was bbergasted. "Are you out of your mind?" "Whatever! It doesn''t matter if you think that I''m out of my mind or what! I''m done with the George family! I don''t care anymore. Let''s get a divorce!" After that, she turned around and prepared to leave. "Don''t even think about it!" Felix screamed Felix grabbed her once again. "Even if you don''t care about your family anymore, I won''t get a divorce with you. You will still be my wife even after you are dead." "Let go of me!" Eudora pped Felix''s hand away forcefully. "I won''t go back with you." But Felix''s strength proved to be too much for her. Fie pulled Eudora and shoved her into the car before driving away. Upon reaching the Meyers'' residence, Felix dragged Eudora out of the car and threw her into their bedroom. He then locked the room from outside. Laura Westin looked at her son in disgust. "I told you this woman is nothing but bad luck. She was already kicked out earlier, but you still want to keep her." "It''s none of your business. Keep the room key and don''t let here out." Laura smiled at her son''sment. "My child, you finally understood what I was trying to say all these while. If it were up to me, I would just let her rot to death inside!" Felix sneered. "I''m going to make her suffer alright. But to let her die this way? That''s too easy for her!" Eudora banged the door from the other side, "Let me out Felix!. You can''t lock me inside! You''re viting human rights and it''s a crime to do so!" Laura scoffed, "You are the daughter-inw of the Meyer family, what rights are you talking about? Even if the kinges knocking on our door, we are not afraid!" Laura used to live in the remote mountain viges and if it weren''t for her sessful son Felix, she would still be living in dirt. Despite her humble beginnings, she seemed to have forgotten where she came from and started treating others in condescension. Eudora cried her lungs out for help but no one came to her aid. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Eudora George was locked in the room for three whole days. She was only given a mouthful of water each day and not a single sliver of food. On the third night, she was so hungry that she could hardly breathe. The door was suddenly opened and Kesha George walked in. She looked at Eudora''s pathetic look and sneered. "Eudora, I heard from Brother-In-Law that you asked for a divorce. I didn''t expect that you would try to cause such a big trouble?" "What are you doing here?" Eudora clenched her teeth and red at her sister. "Do you think I really wanted toe? Father heard that you''re asking for a divorce, so he sent me here to advise you." ''Heh! Advise me?'' she thought. "Didn''t you guys already sell Everpeace Group off? What use do I still have for you?" "Now now don''t say that Eudora. I mean, it would bode well for our family if we still have someone as sessful as Felix as our son and brother-inw yes? That way we will be able to live a better life too, don''t you think so?" It came to Eudora''s realisation that her sister didn''te here to give her advice. Kesha just came here tough at her. "If you don''t have anything better to do, then get lost!" Eudora couldn''t be bothered to pay any more attention to her. "Don''t be like that, Eudora!" Kesha responded wickedly, "Quite the contrary of what you think of me, I actually support you getting a divorce from him. What''s the point of staying together if you don''t love each other anymore, right? So you must persevere..." "Kesha, what nonsense are you talking about to your sister?" Felix Meyer''s voice came from behind her. Kesha''s expression immediately changed and she stered an innocent smile on her face. "Brother-in- Felix sighed helplessly. "It would be great if your sister is as sensible as you." Kesha looked at Felix. "Brother- in-w, you''re so kind. I believe my sister wille to understand and appreciate your kindness." "Okay!" Felix nodded. "You should go back first. I have something to talk to your sister." Kesha shot Eudora a vicious re and turned around reluctantly. "I shall take my leave then." Eudora looked at this scene in front of her and sneered in her heart. Only a woman as superficial as Kesha would like a scum like Felix Meyer. They were a perfect match! Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Felix closed the door behind him and walked over to help Eudora up. "Eudora, do you really want a divorce from me that much?" Eudora refused to answer him. Her actions had clearly shown her intention. "Okay!" Felix paused. "I can promise you that I will get a divorce with you. But as you know, the How could you leave at a difficult time like this?" Eudora clenched her teeth. "What do you want?" Felix thought for a moment and said, "Let''s make a deal. And this is the only deal I will offer to you. I will let you go out and work thepany. As long as you''re able to make enough money to recover our losses, I''ll let you go." "What do you mean by ''recover our losses''? You ought to give me a figure." Having gone through so much, Eudora would not be so stupid to blindly trust Felix again. "Not much, just a few million dors. As long as you help me secure a few big projects, I believe you will be able to earn that amount of money back, perhaps even more." "In that case I want to put this on paper. I want to sign an agreement!" Eudora said. "OK!" Felix agreed unexpectedly. He got up and went to the desk. He found a piece of paper and scribbled on it. He then handed the paper to Eudora. "Take a look. Is this okay?" Eudora looked at it twice and after confirming that there were indeed no issues, she finally signed it. "When do I start working?" "Tomorrow morning." Chapter 13 Chapter 13 In the night club. Eudora George massaged her aching temples as she pushed the door open. It was going to be another long night. She wasn''t sure how long more it was going to take for the client to finallye to an agreement. It had been more than a month since Eudora made the deal with her husband. Felix Meyer had allowed her to work in thepany since. Felix had arranged Eudora to work as the manager of the business development department. While it sounded good on paper, she was the only hard-worker in the team. Every project required her to deal with the client personally, and she often needed to entertain them till But Eudora didn''t mind it at all. If spending more time securing projects meant that she could get rid of Felix and the Meyer family quicker, she would dly do it. Eudora sshed some water on her face and refreshed herself. She then stepped out of the bathroom. When she reached the entrance of the private room, she noticed a scantily- dnky woman leaning against a man''s body. The man turned out to be Felix. Eudora had gotten used to it. Ever since she started working, she discovered that the things she had found out earlier about Felix were just the tip of the iceberg. He had done way more and Eudora had no intention on finding out more. When she was about to walk towards the couple, the woman suddenly tripped and fell towards Eudora. Fortunately Eudora was quick enough to step aside and avoid the woman from falling onto her. Eudora looked at the woman pitifully. She wore heels as high as sky, her butt almost sticking out because of the skirt she wore was too tight and short. She fell on the ground, but Felix didn''t even bother to help her up. After picking herself up, she turned to Eudora in embarrassment and started to vent her anger at her. "Are you blind! You bumped into me! Felix, look. My feet are all bruised now." Eudora was amused by her antics. "Miss, I hope you''re joking. You were the one who bumped into me and lost your own bnce." The woman was going to say another word when she was interrupted by the door opening behind her. Eudora''s assistant came out and saw Felix. He greeted him politely, "Young Master Meyer, are you here to visit Young Madam?" The woman was stunned and her eyes darted back and forth between Felix and Eudora. People like her tend to have very good observational skills, and when she noticed that Felix did not acknowledge Eudora, she became even bolder. "Oh, are you the good-for-nothing housewife that Felix often told me about? Why are you still doing outside instead of helping Felix entertain the clients inside?" The assistant frowned. "Lady, what are you talking about?" Eudora raised her hand to stop her assistant from speaking further. "You can go back in first. I''ll take care of this." After her assistant left, Eudora looked coldly at the arrogant woman standing in front of her. "I didn''t know mistresses nowadays are so bold." "You..." The woman clenched her teeth. "Well, at least I''m better off being a mistress than a lowly wife like you. At least Felix still loves and cares for me, but what about you? You''re still out here in the middle of the night to entertain your husband''s clients to earn us more money. Thank you for your hard work." Pa! Eudora pped the woman hard. "This p is to teach you a lesson to behave yourself. If you don''t know how to talk then just keep your mouth shut. If you''re saying that I''m the one earning money here, are you insinuating that Felix is just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend his woman''s money?" Felix''s face turned pale. The woman was shocked by Eudora''s remarks and quickly exined to the man standing next to her. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Felix, she''s purposely twisting my words! I didn''t mean that at all!" Felix took a deep breath. "I know you don''t mean it that way. But she''s right when she said that you spoke without thinking carefully. You should apologise." Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The woman saw that Felix Meyer didn''t seem to be very angry, so she pleaded coyly to him. "I don''t want to apologize, Felix. I don''t want to." "Apologize!" Felix suddenly snapped at her. The woman''s hand trembled and she knew that she crossed the line. She immediately bowed to Eudora George, "I''m sorry." Eudora''s lips turned into a smirk. "It doesn''t matter to me how much you want y outside, but you should at least have some standards if you know what I mean. This kind of woman will only cause you trouble in the future." Eudora turned around and entered the room. The woman red fiercely at Eudora''s retreating back and turned around to Felix. "Felix, my leg hurts so much. I don''t care, you have got to do something about her." Felix took a small step back and leaned on the wall. A look of disgust shed across his eyes. Fie could feel his blood boil when he thought of Eudora''s condescending attitude towards him earlier. She was just a lowly woman. Flow daring of her to think she could belittle him just because she had been out working for a while now. "Felix..." "Yes, I will!" Felix said coldly. The woman hugged Felix''s arm with joy. "I know, Felix, you''re the best to __ _ n me. Upon hearing this, Felix sneered, "Really? Would you listen to me to what I say then?" "Of course I will listen to you. I''m willing to do anything you want me to do!" "Then I am telling you to get lost now!" Felix said lightly. The woman was stunned for a moment before sheughed awkwardly. "What are you talking about?" "Get lost!" he yelled. The woman trembled at his temper, not knowing what to do. Felix impatiently pushed her hands away from him and turned around to leave. Eudora did not have enough rest as she worked till verytest night. Fler head started throbbing the next morning. Fler assistant brought her a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "Manager George, the projectst night has been approved. We have another client today and we have an appointment at the Rosaville City Hotelter in the afternoon." "Where did this cliente from?" Eudora questioned in suspicion. "Oh! We used to deal with this client a long time ago, but it has been two years since we had a project together. This time they finally came back to us, and if we are able to sessfully secure this project, we should be able to bring in quite a sum." True. There were no reason to reject good business. When they were about to leave the building to meet the client in the afternoon, the assistant''s phone suddenly rang. "Manager George, our client fromst night said that there were some issues with our agreement. He''s requesting us to take care of it immediately. But if we leave now, what shall we do about the client here?" Eudora frowned, "In that case I''ll leave the agreement to you to take care of. I''ll stay and meet this client." "Are..." The assistant was a little hesitant. "Are you sure?" "Yes I''m sure! It''s still broad daylight and we''re meeting in public, I will be fine. Go, make sure you take care of the issue well." The assistant left. Eudora got on the car and drove towards Rosaville City Hotel. After entering the room, Eudora realised that the client came alone too. She felt a nagging suspicion. On the other side of the room, the client seemed decent apart from his bad taste in fashion. He was literally d in golden shining clothes. Of course, that has nothing to do with the project at all. Eudora took out her files and started exining. "President Horace, ourpany''s real estate..." "There''s no need to rush!" President Horace said with a smile. "You came all the way here, and you didn''t even catch a breather yet! Here, have a sip of water first." Eudora really wanted this to end as soon as possible, so she took the ss and drank it all up. Then she continued to say, "This area is near to the Rosaville City''s riverside and the location is very strategic..." She paused and suddenly felt a little dizzy. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "What''s wrong?" President Horace asked. Eudora shook her head, but for some reason, her body began to feel hot. President Horace suddenly sneered when he saw her struggle. "Do you feel a little hot? And you have no strength at all?" Eudora''s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the empty ss. "What did you add to the drink?" Chapter 15 Chapter 15 "What?" Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. President Horace''s grin grew wider. "It''s nothing. We''re all here for fun anyway. It''s just a little pick-me- up." He reached out and grabbed Eudora George''s hand. Eudora stumbled behind as she pulled her hand away. "Don''t touch me." "You''d alreadye all the way here. Let''s have some fun while we''re at it." President Horace stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards her. "Didn''t you want to discuss business with me? Don''t worry I''ll definitely sign this contract. But before that, let''s have some fun shall we!" he grabbed Eudora and pinned her down on the sofa. His strength was overpowering her as Eudora struggled helplessly under his grasp. How could she even fight him, especially someone as big as him. "You beautiful thing, I missed you like crazy." "You can''t do this!" Eudora struggled desperately. "You''re breaking thew! I''ll sue you." "Sue me?" President Horaceughed darkly, "We''re here to discuss business. Besides, we are both consensual adults. In what way would it be illegal?" He pulled Eudora''s cor roughly. President Horace nced at the woman''s exposed pale skin, his breaths turning heavy. He couldn''t resist his growing inner desire as he stared at the attractive woman in front of him. His hand slowly slithered to Eudora''s chest. In a swift motion, Eudora raised her hand and scratched the man''s face. President Horace stumbled backwards as he wiped away the blood from the fresh wounds on his face, leaving space between them. Eudora took the opportunity to run out from the room. There were no one else in the corridor of the hotel. Behind her, President Horace had already run out from the room and was gaining on her. He yelled at her in anger, "B*tch, I will make you suffer when I catch you!" Eudora noticed one of the doors to a private room in the corridor had been left ajar. She quickly pushed the door open and jumped into the room. "Help! Please call the police for me! Someone is chasing after me." Eudora pleaded. "It''s you? What happened?" Eudora was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look. The voice belonged to a man. He was looking at her up and down with interest, a small smile evident on his face. She was sure she had never seen this man before. But there was another man behind him and her memory was still fresh. It was Amos Granger, the man who asked her to be his woman a month ago. She did not expect that she''d meet him again, at least not under these messy circumstances. After all thest time they met, she had warned him off once and for all. President Horace suddenly caught up behind her. He muttered darkly, "How dare you run away! I want to see where else you can run to!" No matter how strong Eudora was, this situation left her trembling in fear. She wasn''t expecting Amos to help her, so when she noticed the windows were opened, she instinctively ran across the room. Harley Louis stopped her. "Are you crazy? This is the fifth floor!" She might be crazy, but she would rather die than get caught by President Horace. Especially now that Amos had seen her in her most desperate times. President Horace entered the room and was about to grab Eudora when he was suddenly stopped by Harley. "Franco Horace! What on earth are you doing? Don''t you know we''re in public? Do you want to go to the police station?" "Oh, it''s Officer Louis! I didn''t know you''re here too!" Franco grinned at him politely, his eyes darting around the room he just entered. "Ah, President Granger is here, too. It''s my great honor today." Amos didn''t utter a single word. From the moment Eudora came in until now, he just sat there nonchntly with his legs crossed, as if all that was happening were none of his business. It was only when Eudora''s eyes met his that she felt he was secretly mocking her. She acted so proudly thest time they met, but reality had just given her a tight p! "Stop talking nonsense!" Harvey interrupted Franco''s insincere speech . "Exin to me, what is going on?" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Franco Horace replied with a straight face, his eyes not showing any kind of remorse whatsoever. "What do you mean? Isn''t it obvious it''s all business? I chased after her because she tried to run away after taking my money..." Eudora George subconsciously denied. "No..." Before she could finish her sentence, Amos Granger suddenly clicked his tongue. "It seems that your discussion with President Horace is not going very well. Maybe you should consider calling it off now." Amos stared at Eudora, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Eudora''s face turned pale as she recalled what Amos had said to her before. She felt a wave of sadness in her heart. "We made an appointment to discuss about business, but he was the one who didn''t honor his part of the deal first. On what grounds are you believing his words of nder? Just because you are Rosaville City''s most sessful businessman doesn''t mean you should insult me this way, don''t you think?" Amos was stunned. He narrowed his eyes at the struggling woman. She may be helpless, but she was still a feisty littledy. Franco quickly exined. "President Granger, please don''t listen to her nonsense. She''s just a measly woman. There''s no point talking to her. What do you say if we sit down and have a chat if you''re free?" "I''m not in the mood!1'' Amos replied impatiently. The man was a nuisance to him. Franco, however, was unwilling to give up. "Shall we talk when you''re in the mood then?" "Get lost!" Amos suddenly yelled. Eudora''s snide remarks earlier made his blood boil. At the corner of his eyes, he red at the woman who was hiding behind Harley Louis. Somehow she managed to stir up different kind of emotions in him every time they met. They were passionate the first time they met, followed by her indifference and distance in the mansion. And today he got to see how desperate and helpless she was. Her exposed shoulder and trembling body, together with her disheveled long hair reminded him of the first time they met - how she cried so helplessly next to him. "Franco, are you still not leaving? Do you need me to escort you?" Harley warned the plump man when Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. he noticed Amos'' darkening expression. Franco smiled and nodded. "No no, there''s no need for that. I''m leaving right this instant." After the door was shut, Harley turned to look at Eudora, "Are you alright?" Eudora shook her head, still shivering from the traumatic experience earlier. Harley said again, "Franco is a cunning man. He might still be waiting for you outside. We were just leaving. Would you like to leave with us?" Eudora slowly nodded her head, but stopped when she saw Amos staring at her. She suddenly shook her again violently. "It''s okay! I can handle it!" As she was about to leave, her legs gave way. The drug in her spiked drink started to take effect again. She suddenly felt like her body was on fire. Harley reached out his hand to support her. "Are you really alright?" Amos grimaced. For some reason, the exchange in front of him fueled the bubbling anger in his chest. He walked over and pushed Harley away from the woman. He muttered darkly, "With your identity you shouldn''t get too close to dubious strangers. Especially when you''re not aware with the person''s history and background. There are people out there who have no self-control and self-respect." Harley''s brows twitched. "So you''re saying you have them?" Amos shot Harley a re, his eyes warning him to keep his mouth shut. Eudora''s consciousness began to waver. She clearly knew that she had to be wary of the man in front of her, but his familiar and intoxicating scent was so captivating that she subconsciously leaned towards him. It was as if she needed his body to quench her hunger. Amos''s eyes darkened upon realising what Franco had done. "That prick!" He nced at Harley, "You leave first!" Before Harley could utter another word, Amos carried Eudora up the stairs. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Amos Granger owned a suite in the upper floors of the hotel. He entered the room and threw the woman on the bed. He lit up a cigarette next to the bed and stared at her lifeless being. Eudora George stirred on the bed, the effects of the drug making her restless and fidgety. Under the dim lighting in the suite, her pair of glistening eyes searched the roomzily. Amos remembered that wonderful night they spent together a month ago, how she moaned in pleasure when their bodies were passionately locked in each other''s. He was never a gentleman. He had never yed by the rules. He knew he could have gotten her if he yed dirty, but seeing her denying him with such determination, he couldn''t help but to reconsider his actions. If only she knew that he had been waiting for her all these time. Amos closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Have you figured it out?" The familiar voice snapped Eudora back to her senses. She struggled to sit up and looked at Amos rmingly. "How did you..." "Who were you expecting?" Amos'' voice was deep andced in anger. "How could you be fine with any men?" Eudora''s heart tightened. She knew that in his eyes, she was nothing but a shameless woman. "Sorry to have troubled you. I will leave now." Eudora got up and stumbled out of bed. Amos grabbed her. "Where do you think you are going? In your current state no less?" "It''s none of your business!" Eudora struggled to push his hand away. "Silly woman!" Amos clenched his teeth, "You were drugged. Were you just going to do it with any man you find in the streets if the effects of the drug doesn''t wear off?" Eudora''s heart was filled with sadness. "Mr. Granger, why are you acting like you''re my knight in shining armor? Weren''t you thinking of the same thing too?" Amos fell silent. The smoke from the cigarette in his hand blurred his expression, making it hard for her to decipher his thoughts. A momentter, he put out the cigarette and sat back on the sofa. He chuckled, "Yes, you are right, I admit it. What I said a month ago is still valid. As long as you be my woman, no one will dare to bully you again!" Eudora pursed her lips and shook her head firmly. "Then my answer is still the same, Mr. Granger. I will not be your woman!" Amos blinked at her. "I thought that after a month, you would have realized that Felix Meyer does not suit you." "Yes, I agree that he doesn''t suit me. But Mr. Granger, do you think you are suitable for me then?" Eudora smiled wryly. "If I''m with him, I''m just a nominal wife who had been abandoned by her husband. On the other hand, if I be your woman, I''m just going to be one of your hidden lovers. They are both not honorable identities. I''m really tired. I don''t want to live my life in this way anymore."? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Her answer made Amos raise his eyebrows slightly. This woman is interesting. The effects of the drug started to rpse, this time even stronger than before. Eudora knew that she was almost at her limit. She staggered and tried to make her way to the door. When she walked past Amos, a pair of big hands pulled her in. His voice grew deeper and he spoke seductively, "Do you want to do it?" Eudora shivered, and her body was against her wills. She tried to speak, but her throat was dry and her voice was hoarse. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "I said it a month ago, and I''ll say it again. I don''t want to make this kind of deal with you." Amos chuckled, "What deal? This has nothing to do with the deal. This... is merely us fulfilling our needs." She breathed in his scent, a faint minty cologne mixed with the smell of tobo. Eudora George shivered. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The man''s lips brushed against her ear. The soft touch sent waves of tingling sensation through her body. She reached out her hand to push him away. "Let me go, I will deal with it myself." Amos Granger raised his brows. "Deal with it yourself? There are despicable men like Franco Horace everywhere in this hotel. You said you''re afraid of me. Aren''t you afraid of those people then?" He was speaking the truth. A beauty like her, obviously not in her right state of mind stumbling in a daze through the corridors of the hotel. No matter how decent the man was before, he would not be able to resist her. "It''s none of your business. Let me go." Eudora pushed Amos away again and staggered towards the door. This time, Amos didn''t stop her. He could tell that she had reached her limits. In fact, she had already begun to undress herself in the room. Eudora was aware of her wavering alertness and fell to the ground again. "Eudora!" Amos rushed to her. "Why are you still so stubborn." Eudora grabbed the ashtray on the tea table. With a bang, the ashtray broke into pieces. Under Amos'' shocked gaze, she grabbed a piece of the broken ss and stabbed it into her thigh. "Eudora, you..." Amos clenched his teeth and inspected Eudora''s wound. This woman never fail to surprise him every single time. Amos stared at the blood that began to pool on the floor and felt his heart beat nervously for the first time. He stepped over cautiously towards Eudora, picked her up and rushed to the hospital. In the hospital, the doctor muttered in a low voice while dressing the wound. "She is too careless. The wound is quite bad. Had it gone a little deeper, her vital blood vessels might have been punctured. That will be troublesome." Amos narrowed his eyes. ''This woman isn''t joking.'' he thought. He''d be lying if he wasn''t the least intrigued by this woman. She''d rather inflict pain on herself than to let the effects of the drug take over her senses. Amos found himself fascinated by Eudora. When Eudora woke up the next day, Amos was no longer in the hospital. She was informed by one of the nurses that the man who brought her inst night had already left. He had also paid her medical expenses before leaving. Eudora chuckled at her thoughts. She''d bet that no one would believe her if she told them Amos Granger, the most powerful businessman in Rosaville City and infamous women-hater, not only sent her to the hospital, but also paid for her medical expenses. The phone in her bag suddenly rang, and Eudora quickly answered the call. The anxious voice of her assistant came from the other side. "Manager George, you finally answered the phone! Where have you been? President Meyer has been looking for you since earlier in the morning when you weren''t around. Did something happen?" "I''ll be back shortly." After Eudora finished speaking, she noticed that there were clothes neatly folded by the bed. She got up and put them on. The moment Eudora stepped into the office, Felix Meyer rushed to her and started berating her. "Eudora George! What have you done! I asked you to meet with the client and you end up scratching his face! Now he is going to sue us! What are you going to do about this!" Ah that incident with Franco Horace. Eudora scoffed, "Why don''t you ask him the reason why I scratched his face?" Felix frowned, his expression unreadable. "I know that there may be some disagreements when we meet with clients, but for the sake of the "Disagreement? Is that what he told you? In that case, let him sue all he want. But tell him that I''m going to sue him too. He drugged my drink and attempted to rape me! Let me see if the police is going to help him or me?" Eudora flipped her phone out and proceeded to dial 999. "Eudora!" Felix snatched away Eudora''s phone. "Aren''t you fine now? There''s no need to cause so much trouble right? President Horace said that as long as you apologize to him, he will not take this matter to heart." Chapter 19 Chapter 19 "Apologize?" That was probably the funniest joke that Eudora George had heard all her life. "Felix Meyer, are you crazy? He wants me to apologize to him for what he did to me?" Felix was unfazed by her outburst. "What else do you want? You''d already ruined the Amos Granger¡¯s projectst month. Do you want to ruin this project too? I worked so hard to arrange it for you!" Arranged? Eudora looked at Felix in shock. She vaguely recalled her conversation with her assistant that day. He had mentioned that the client was not recently scouted by their department but was an old client who decided to engage their services again. Why would such a good project fall into their hands so easily? Eudora came to a shocking realization. She turned to look at Felix and clenched her teeth. "You knew this all along, didn''t you? These were all nned by you! You knew what kind of person Franco Horace is and you deliberately arranged for us to meet at the hotel. Were you trying to exchange me for your project!?" Felix realized that his ns had been exposed, and he didn''t even bother covering it up. "So? I initially wanted to send you off for a better offer. But you refused Amos Granger - that I cannot force you. Franco Horace is still a decent deal. But of course, you just had to go and screw it up." Eudora was so angry her entire body trembled. She raised her hand and gave Felix a hard p, "Felix Meyer, you really are an animal!" When she tried to p him again, Felix suddenly grabbed her wrist. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Eudora, stop being so shameless! You''re no longer someone whom Amos Granger wants. Do you think I''ll still be scared of you? This is thest time I''m going to ask you. Are you going to apologize or not?" "No!" Eudora fiercely shook off Felix''s hand and turned around to leave. The door was unexpectedly pushed open from the other side before she could turn the handle. Kesha George stood at the door with a mischievous look on her face. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have been standing there for quite some time. When she saw Eudora, she smiled slightly. "Sister, are you and brother-inw quarreling again?" "Piss off!" Eudora couldn''t be bothered to pay any attention to her. Kesha giggled yfully as she tried to block Eudora¡¯ s exit from the office. "Sister, is there a need to always end up in arguments? Brother-inw is so kind to you, why do you always have to make him angry?" She nced at Felix seductively. "Brother-inw, why are you still standing there? My sister is about to leave. Are you not going to make her stay?" Felix snapped back to his senses and went forward to pull Eudora back. Kesha took the opportunity to close the door behind her. Eudora looked at Kesha coldly. "Do you know what you''re doing? I know what you''re thinking, but aren''t you afraid that this kind of thing will happen to you too in the future?" Kesha reacted in a puzzled manner, pretending to not understand her sister''s implicit message. "Sister, I don''t understand what you''re saying. Didn''t you offend the client? It''s only natural for you to apologize if you had done something wrong! What would the people in thepany think if they heard that you''re making such a big fuss?" Eudora sneered, "If you''re so concerned, why don''t you go instead?" Themotion in the room attracted the attention of a few of the staff in the office. Seeing Eudora vehemently refusing toply with his wishes, he picked up a vase from the shelf and smashed it onto Eudora''s head. Before Eudora had time to dodge, the vasended on her head and broke into pieces. She fainted at the impact. Kesha was scared out of her wits and ran into Felix''s arms. "Brother-inw..." Kesha wore a long tight dress, revealing her cleavage. Her ample bosoms rubbed against Felix''s chest, All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. fueling the desire in him. Kesha blushed when Felix turned to look at her. Fie started flirting with her, "Your sister is just too stubborn. She''s not as gentle as you." "Brother-inw..." Kesha whispered softly as the two of them hugged closer. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Her head hurts... Eudora George groaned. Her head felt it was splitting. She tried to lift her hand to touch her wounded head, only to find out that she was tied up. She couldn''t move at all. Eudora¡¯s heart started beating wildly as she nced around her surroundings. She was tied up on a bed. The room was very dark and she could vaguely see that there were iron Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. chains and whips around her. Eudora recalled thest moment before she passed out. Felix Meyer and Kesha George! Eudora clenched her teeth. "How could they treat me like this?" Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open from the other side. The room lit up dimly with a click. Franco Horace stepped into the room. Eudora winced at the sight of the man''s disgusting and perverted face. "Hey beautiful, I bet you didn''t expect that at all, did you? s, you''vee back to me." Eudora''s entire body trembled. "Where am I?" "Wee to my yground!" Franco walked in slowly, taking off his clothes as he walked. "Don''t worry, nobody will disturb us today." Eudora was horrified. "What are you doing?" "Well, I''m feeling a little adventurous!" He picked up a whip from the shelf and inched closer to Eudora. Eudora tried struggling to no avail at Franco''s approaching figure. Her hands and feet were bound and she couldn''t move. She could only use the strength of her body to move back as fast as she could. "Sweetheart, don''t be afraid. I promise I''ll be gentle!" Franco snickered, the three scars on his face became more prominent under the dim lights. He grabbed Eudora''s foot and forcefully pulled her towards him. Franco began to tear Eudora''s clothes away. But because her hands and feet were tied up, he struggled to remove the clothes from her body. Eudora''s entire body trembled. Taking advantage of the time when Franco was distracted, she kicked his groin. Franco felt the pain and immediately covered his crotch with his hands as if that would quickly ease the pain. "B*tch, you''re already mine, why are you still so stubborn! I ought to teach you a lesson!" Franco grabbed that whip next to the bed andshed it ruthlessly at her. Eudora couldn''t dodge the attacks and every whip felt like daggers cutting through her body. She was whipped everywhere. Her face, her legs, her back, her entire body. Eudora could feel her energy draining as she persevered through each hit. After seemed like the longest time, Franco finally stopped and threw the whip aside. He panted and struggled to catch his breath. "Let''s y something even more fun!" Franco lifted himself onto the bed. Eudora had nowhere else to move to and was forced to the edge of the bed. She watched Franco lift up his foot and step on her hands. Franco is a big fat man weighing at least one hundred kilograms. With one foot on Eudora''s leg, he slowly ced his other foot on her arm. Eudora groaned in pain. Franco''s eyes lit up, her cries somehow unlocking an inner desire in him. "That''s it. Make that sound again." Eudora didn''t expect that her painful groans would fuel Franco''s perverse mind. She clenched her teeth tightly and shook her head at Franco, unwilling to give in to his wishes. Franco''s face darkened and he stomped even harder. "B*tch, did you hear what I said?" No matter what, Eudora refused to give in. Her stubbornness angered Franco. He positioned himself above Eudora''s body and dropped his whole weight on her. He clenched his teeth and red at Eudora. "B*tch, since you don''t know how to cherish your blessings, then I''m not going to be so nice to you anymore!" Chapter 21 Chapter 21 In the Valiant East Group. One of the supervisors was reporting on the daily work updates to Amos Granger in the conference room. The Assistant Manager knocked the door and entered the room. He leaned over and whispered a few words next to Amos'' ear. Amos'' eyes darkened and he immediately got up from his seat. "We''ll do this another time!" "President... President Granger?" Before the supervisor could finish his sentence, Amos had already left the conference room. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What would have triggered their workaholic boss to leave everything immediately and rush out the meeting like that. It was truly an unusual sight. Eudora George trembled in fear at the sight of the psychotic man standing in front of her. ''Perhaps, this is the end.'' she thought to herself. Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door. It wasn''t a knock. It sounded like someone was pounding at the door. Franco Horace cursed as he released Eudora from his grasp. "Damn, who''s that?" The door suddenly mmed open. Behind the walls, Amos'' stern face appeared. He immediately noticed Eudora was being tied to the bed and her clothes were torn everywhere. His heart started beating wildly. At the speed of light, he swung his fist at Franco''s face. "Granger..." Before Franco could utter another word, Amos pinned him down to the ground. Harley Louis arrived shortly after and assisted in securing Franco. "Take him outside!" Amos turned to look at Harley. Harley nodded. He looked at Eudora and Amos and dragged Franco out from the room. Amos took off his coat and slowly stepped towards Eudora. He ced the coat lightly over her trembling body. Eudora, who was still in a daze, shriveled at his touch. She screamed, "Don''t touch me!" "It''s me!" Amos pulled Eudora into his arms. "It''s Amos. Don''t be afraid." "Amos?" Eudora raised her head, her throat dry and her lips cracked. The man looked at her solemnly. It waspletely different from the mad man earlier. "I''m here. Don''t be afraid." She wasn''t sure if it was the concerned tone in his voice, or it was just his presence, but those assuring words were just the ones she needed to hear. She started bawling as she pulled Amos'' chest closer to her. She was no longer afraid. Amos enveloped her in his arms and soothed her as she sobbed till there were no more tears left to cry.He then carried her up and left the basement. When Eudora woke up, it was already the next day. She looked around and realised that she was lying on a hospital bed, the wounds on her body were already dressed. A woman in a business suit sat next to the bed. She stood up and smiled when she saw that Eudora had already woken up. "Miss George, you''re awake. I''m Mr. Granger''s assistant and my name is Anya Astor. Mr. Granger assigned me to attend to your needs should you require anything..." Amos'' assistant..." The memory from yesterday shed in her mind. If Amos hadn''t shown up, then she would have... Felix Meyer, you are too cruel. "Where is Mr. Granger?" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Anyaughed lightly. "Mr. Granger postponed the meeting yesterday to save you, so he went to thepany early this morning to resume the meeting. He wille overter to visit you." "Oh!" Eudora nodded. "Then I guess I''ll just wait for him toe back!" Anya was slightly taken aback. "Is there something I can do for you?" Eudora didn''t say anything. Sheid down and closed her eyes. Soon she dozed off again. It was alreadyte evening when she woke up. The sky had already turned dark and the lights in the room were not switched on. Eudora was shocked when a masculine voice suddenly erupted in the dark room. "I heard from Anya that you were waiting for me?" Eudora sat up quickly and switched on the lights. The man sitting on the sofa in front of her was dressed in custom- made Italian formal suit. His expression was aszy as usual, only his deep and serene eyes were quietly looking at Eudora. Eudora suddenly panicked when she recalled the traumatic experience and how her husband had set her up. She slowly raised her head and met his eyes again. The man chuckled lightly at her reaction and stood up from the sofa. "You know, you''re really indeed one of a kind. No one else dares to look me in the eye like you do. Now tell me, why were you waiting for me?" "The... The deal you told me about. I... I agree to it." Eudora stammered. "Eh?" Amos was puzzled at her sudden statement. Eudora could feel her courage slowly slipping away. She opened her lips, but she didn''t have the nerve to repeat what she just said. She closed her lips again. "Uh... Nothing. I want rest now." Sheid back down on the bed and tried to avoid Amos'' gaze. "Are you taking back your words?" Amos grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "Are you sure you want to do this?" The sudden gesture and the strong masculine aura of the man made Eudora''s heart skip a beat. "Mm!" She nodded her head slowly. "Can I know the reason? Is it because you''re helping your husband to get the project?" Amos asked quietly. "Of course not!" Eudora clenched her teeth. "I want to make him pay for what he did to me." Amos smiled slightly at her answer. "Very well then." "I do have one condition though...?" Amos raised his eyebrows. "Are you negotiating with me? You''re really the first to ever do that!" He twirled her long hair with his fingers yfully and said, "Go ahead. Tell me." "Our deal willst for one year. Within this one year, you may not restrict my personal freedom. In exchange I promise you that I will not do anything that will hurt you behind your back. After one year, no matter what, the deal will be called off." Amos'' fingers stopped. He curled his lips into a smile, "Why do you think I''ll agree to such an unfair agreement?" "Mr. Granger..." Eudora paused. "I know that I''m asking for too much, but..." "I agree!" Amos interrupted her. "Who knows, maybe I''ll get tired of you after a year!" Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She didn''t know why, but she lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "Thank you, Mr. Granger." "You don''t have to be so polite with me. To tell the truth, I was hoping that you could settle your issues with Felix Meyer as soon as possible. Although what we have is purely transactional, I still don''t like the idea of my woman getting entangled with other men." Eudora''s face turned pale when she heard this. Even if Amos hadn''t brought the issue up, she knew that her marriage with Felix could no longer continue. "Don''t worry. I will take care of it as soon as possible." "No rush. On a side note, you''ve been sleeping the whole day. Don''t you want to know what happened to Franco?" Eudora was confused when Amos pped his hands suddenly. Harley entered the room, dragging a battered man behind him. It was Franco. And it seemed that he was beaten up quite badly. His whole body and face was swollen. If Amos hadn''t said that this man in front of them was Franco, Eudora wouldn''t have been able to recognize him at all. The moment Franco saw Amos, he fell to the ground and crawled towards him. "Mr. Granger, I know now I am wrong. Please spare this worthless life of mine." Amos'' eyes darkened and he reached out to hold Eudora by his side. "I think you''re begging the wrong person?" Franco quickly climbed towards Eudora. "Miss George, I''m terribly sorry. I didn''t know that you''re Mr. Granger''s woman. If I had known, I wouldn''t have dared to touch you even the tiniest bit. Could you please ask Mr. Granger to forgive me? Please?" Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Eudora George looked at the man coldly. Franco Horace was kneeling desperately below her, asking for her forgiveness. When she recalled the events yesterday, Eudora shivered in fear. Amos Granger pulled Eudora into his arms to assure her that it was alright. He whispered to her ear, "Do you want to forgive him?" Eudora shook her head. "I won''t forgive him!" In the past, Eudora had always believed that one shouldn''t be act harshly to another person. In fact, most of the time, she would rather be a good person than to inflict hurt on someone else. But in the end, what did she get? There was never a moment where Eudora wished ill on others. "Mr. Granger..." Eudora clenched her teeth. "If I don''t forgive him, what will happen to him?" Amos smiled and pointed at the man standing behind Franco. He looked like he was enjoying this whole scene too. "Officer Louis is here. Thew will not spare him! Imprisonment is probably too small a punishment for him. If they knew what kind of dirty, under-handed transactions had gone through his "Mr. Granger, please don''t." Franco pleaded. He trembled in fear and turned to Eudora. "Miss George, please have mercy on me..." He asked her to have mercy on him now. Did he even think of sparing her during the incident yesterday? Eudora didn''t even bother to look at Franco and said coldly, "Then I''m afraid I have to trouble Officer Louis. Please handle this matter ording to thew!" "Miss George!" Franco cried out in desperation. "It''s not my fault alone. If Felix Meyer hadn''t tied you up and send you to me, I wouldn''t even have the chance." Eudora clenched her teeth. "Felix Meyer. Of course, I''m not going to let him off that easily too." Amos noticed that Eudora''s mood was turning sour and waved at Harley Louis, "Bring him out!" Harley nced at Eudora with great interest. "Say, are you the woman who dishonored Amos on that night he was injured?" Dishonor? The night she first met Amos, he was indeed injured. Eudora''s cheeks suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and didn''t know what to say. Amos frowned. "Harley Louis!" "I''m just leaving!" Harley waved at Eudora cheekily. "See youter." After the two men left, Eudora realised that Amos had been holding on to her this whole time. She moved away subconsciously, but Amos'' arms tightened around her shoulders. "What''s wrong? Are you regretting your decision now?" "No," Eudora whispered, "You hugged me a little too tightly and I feel a little ufortable. I want to change positions." She hadn''t even finished talking, the man suddenly flipped her and pressed her down on the bed. "This position?" There was a glint of a happiness in the man''s dark eyes. Eudora couldn''t help but stare at his features. The man''s face was really God-given. Eudora''s mind went nk. She knew that she couldn''t take back her words anymore now that she agreed to his deal. She obediently closed her eyes and waited for the man''s next move. After what felt like an eternity, Eudora felt warm lips pressing softly against her forehead. Eudora shivered at the kiss, but the next second, the man had already flipped to the other side of the bed and pulled her in for a hug. Eudora stunned. "What''s wrong?" "It''s nothing!" Amos replied. Eudora frowned. "Are you... not feeling well? Do you want me to massage your head?" "Why did you ask that?" Amos turned around and pressed his head against her forehead. "Um..." Eudora paused. "I thought I needed to prove that I''m worthy to be your woman." Amos chuckled at the woman''s randomment. When he saw her puzzled and embarrassed expression, he couldn''t help but feel that she was quite adorable in her own way. "Not now. We can wait till you get better, we have plenty of opportunities then." "Oh!" Eudora nodded. Quickly enough she realised what he meant and her face immediately turned red. Fortunately for her, he wasn''t able to see her expression as he held her tightly in his arms. She closed her eyes again and slept through the night. Eudora stayed in the hospital for three nights. In the morning of the fourth day, Eudora helped Amos put on his clothes before he left for work. She stammered, "I... I think I can be discharged today." "I see!" Amos nodded. He turned around and nted a kiss on her forehead. "See you tonight." After Amos left, Eudora slowly got up and changed her clothes too. As she was thinking of ways to broach the topic with her husband, Anya Astor walked into the room, her heels clicking on the tiles. "Miss George, Mr. Granger had asked me to apany you to the Phantom Group. This is the divorce agreement and these are the clothes that Mr. Granger had personally selected for you." Eudora was surprised. "So he''s already arranged everything." She thought that he had already forgotten. Anya didn''t hear her clearly and asked subconsciously, "Sorry?" "Nothing!" Eudora stretched out her hand to receive the document in Anya''s hands. In the Phantom Group. Kesha George and Felix Meyer were inseparable. After sending Eudora away three days ago, they spent time together and couldn''t be separated ever since. They fell in love with each other, and wherever one goes, the other would follow. Even when they were in the office, the two of them were always together. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Kesha was sitting on Felix''sp with her arms around his neck. "Brother- in-w, my sister hasn''te back after such a long time. Could she have run away with President Florace?" "Flow is that possible?" Felix chuckled. "President Florace just wants to have fun with women like your sister. When he gets tired of her, he will then send her back. Come to think of it, he has been quiet since that day. Fie hasn''t contacted me about the investments either." Felix made a phone call to Franco, but no one answered. Felix frowned. Kesha reached out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows. "Maybe he''s in a meeting." Felix kissed Kesha''s hand. Fie then dialed for Franco''spany, but no one picked up either. "That''s strange." A wave of uneasiness slowly spread in Felix''s heart. FHis assistant suddenly pushed his office door open and entered. "President Meyer, Manager George is back." Felix Meyer shivered and stood up from his seat. Kesha, who was sitting on hisp, fell to the ground at the sudden movement. "Brother-inw..." But Felix was not in the mood to pay attention to her. Fie narrowed his eyes when Eudora entered the room with an unknowndy. Felix could tell at a nce that the clothes Eudora was wearing were from custom-made brands that cost a fortune. She even had light makeup on. Eudora was carrying a different aura. Felix had never seen her in this state before. Felix frowned. It was impossible. Fie knew what kind of perverted man Franco was. Flow could Eudora still be so high-spirited after being sent to that mad man? Eudora walked towards Felix without hesitation. "President Meyer, why do you seem a little unhappy to see me?" Felix snapped back to his senses andposed himself. "What do you mean? Where have you been these days? I''ve been looking for you." "Really?" Eudora looked coldly at Kesha, who was sitting on the ground with her messy clothes. "I thought you were so happy that you forgot all about me!" Kesha was shocked and subconsciously turned away to avoid her sister''s gaze. Fiowever, when she thought of how Felix happily gave her sister away to Franco, she regained her confidence. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Kesha George got up and slowly walked towards her sister. She clenched her teeth, "Eudora, you were already been given away to someone else. How dare youe back here? If I were you, I would rather kill myself." Anya Astor, who had been standing Eudora George all along, stepped forward and gave Kesha a tight p. "Who are you? How dare you talk to Miss George like that?" Kesha had always been a spoilt kid. This was the first time she was hit by anyone. She was stunned for a moment before snapping back to her senses. She wanted to fight back, but Anya grabbed her hand. Needless to say, those working for Amos Granger weren''t just any ordinarymoner. Not only was Anya the top of her field, but she was also well-trained in martial arts. It was impossible for anyone to take advantage of her. "It hurts..." Kesha thought that her arm was going to break. Anya twisted her arm and released her shortly after. She quickly hid behind Felix Meyer and did not dare to speak again. "This is...?" Felix looked at Anya curiously. He had been married to Eudora for the past three years but he never knew that Eudora was acquainted with someone like that. Anya nced at him, "I''m President Granger''s assistant. My name is Anya Astor." Felix was stunned. "President Granger? President Granger of Valiant East Group?" Felix chuckled and turned to look at Eudora, piecing the puzzles together. "I was wondering why all of a sudden you became so confident? It seems that you got President Granger to support you huh!" "Cut the crap!" Eudora threw the divorce agreement at Felix. "Sign it." Felix snorted. "Why should I? You wouldn''t have been able to be with President Granger if it weren''t for me. I have yet to gain anything from this, and you''re asking for a divorce from me? You must be kidding me!" At this point, the only thing he cared about was the benefits he could gain from this. ''This man is unbelievable.'' Eudora thought. Eudoraughed coldly. "ve you wondered whatever happened to your good friend, Franco Horace?" Felix''s brows frowned slightly. "Why? What did you do to him?" Suddenly, Felix''s assistant mmed the door open and rushed in. "President Meyer, something bad just happened." "What''s the matter?" Felix breathed in deeply, his eyes fixated at Eudora. "There are a lot of police officers outside!" "What?" Felix frowned. "Eudora George, what did you do?" Eudora sneered, "You should ask yourself that question. Maybe Franco missed you and wanted to bring you over to the station for a chat!" "You..." Felix clenched his teeth. "Don''t you think I''m going to let you off so easily. I didn''t do anything wrong. Franco will not be able to convince them otherwise without proof!" Before Felix could continue, police officers had entered the room. "Mr. Meyer, you are suspected to be involved in a crime. Your assistance is required in the investigation. Pleasee with us." Kesha stepped back subconsciously and distanced herself from Felix. Before Felix was escorted away by the officers, he red at Eudora. "Eudora, I''ll never ever divorce you. Never!." Eudora climbed into her car and took the back seat after leaving the Phantom Group. She was frustrated. She couldn''t believe that Felix would still refuse to divorce her after all these. Anya asked, "Miss George, may I take your home so that you can have your rest?" "Where?" Eudora was stunned. "President Granger has a suite in Clearwater Bay, It has been vacant for a while." "Oh!" Eudora nodded. She heard of the ce before but she had never been there. Clearwater Bay had the most luxurious and high-end vis in the whole of Roseville City. After dropping Eudora off at the suite, Anya left as she had other matters to attend to. As she had expected, the house was humongous and exquisite. A perfect ce to have an affair.1 Eudora thought. Eudora was doing a little spring cleaning in the house when her phone suddenly rang. "I''ll be back for dinner." Amos'' voice came from the other side. "Oh!" Eudora nodded. For some reason, she felt a little nervous. "Then... what would you like to eat?" "It''s up to you!" Amos hung up the phone. Eudora pondered for a moment. She didn''t know what Amos liked to eat, so she decided to make a few dishes that she was good at. After deciding what to cook, she went out to buy the ingredients. When she came back, Amos was already home. Eudora stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. She then stepped into the house. Amos left his coat by the living room, but he was nowhere to be seen. Eudora went straight to the kitchen and began preparing the ingredients. When Amos was done with his work upstairs, he came down and saw a busy figure moving around in the kitchen. He slowly walked over and leaned against the wall. The woman was wearing a casual outfit and her hair was tied loosely into a bun. Somehow the once-empty house felt like a warm home. Eudora noticed Amos was standing behind her and tried to start a conversation, "I''m not sure if the dishes are to your liking..." "It doesn''t matter, as long as they are edible." Food had always been the least of his priorities. So long as he was able to satisfy his hunger, he didn''t All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. care about the food he consumes. There were many other important things he ought to think about. Eudora nodded. "Then wait for me in the living room. I''ll be done soon." "Take your time!" Amos smiled as he circled his arms around Eudora''s waist. "I heard from Anya that Felix is still unwilling to sign the divorce agreement?" Eudora''s back lightly touched the man''s warm chest, sending goosebumps all over her body. She shifted ufortably and whispered. "I''m sorry, I will deal with it as soon as possible." Amos didn''t say anything. He rested his chin on the crook of her neck, breathing softly into her ear. "Mr. Granger..." the intimacy was making Eudora''s heart beat wildly. "I''ll ask Clint to deal with this matter. You don''t have to worry about it." Amos suddenly said. Eudora was stunned. Before she could say anything else, Amos loosened his arms around her waist. "Go to cook for me. Otherwise, I''m going to ''eat'' you first." "Oh!" Eudora nodded, noticing that something was off with him. She raised her head to look at Amos, her eyes meeting his eager ones curiously looking at the dishes she prepared. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks and she lowered her head again. Eudora let out a sigh of relief when Amos finally stepped out of the kitchen in a visibly good mood. After she finished cooking, the two of them sat opposite each other on the table. Eudora had been paying attention to Amos'' reactions to her dishes. As he had said earlier, he didn''t really care much about food. He ate his meal in haste. Although he had them quickly, he had them with poise and grace like a well- disciplined soldier. Eudora was a little surprised at the little scene unraveling in front of her. ''Isn''t Amos the young master of the Granger family? Why doesn''t he act like one at all?'' she thought. After dinner, Amos received a call and stepped into his study room again. Eudora finished cleaning up and sat on the sofa in the living room to rest. She dozed off after a while. Eudora suddenly felt a pair of strong arms scooping her up and carrying her up the stairs. She then felt a warm sensation on her lips. "Mmm..." Eudora opened her eyes and saw the man staring right into her soul. Eudora never knew that a man''s kiss could stir such feelings in her heart. Their lips were interlocked with each other''s as his tongue slowly made its way into her parted lips. Eudora was intoxicated by his gentle and passionate kiss. It felt like in heaven. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 When Eudora George woke up the next morning, the person who was lying beside her was nowhere to be seen. The bathroom door opened and Amos Granger strode out. A bath towel was wrapped around his waist, revealing his upper body. Eudora scrutinised the man''s figure. Broad shoulders, toned waist with eight packs to boot. Eudora blushed. Even though they had been in close proximity before, but this was the first time Eudora saw his well-built body in broad daylight. Eudora couldn''t take her eyes off him. "Like what you see?" Amos smirked at Eudora''s reaction. Only then Eudora realised that she had been staring at the man''s body and she immediately turned her head away in embarrassment. "I... What do you want to eat in the morning? I''ll make breakfast for you." "There''s no need to trouble you, Clint will arrange it." "Oh!" Eudora paused for a moment. "Then I''ll see you off!" Eudora sat up from the bed but the nket covering her body slipped down, revealing her shoulders. She just remembered that she wasn''t wearing any clothes. She quickly pulled the nket up and wrapped it around her body. Her face was flushed red. Amos smiled cheekily. "Weren''t you going to see me off?" "I..." Eudora covered herself tighter. "Maybe you could go downstairs first. I''ll quickly put on my clothes." It was a rare sight for him to see her all shy and adorable. Amos couldn''t help but tease her. "Which part of your body have I not seen yet huh?" "No..." Eudora cried out in embarrassment. She covered her face with the nket, revealing only her flickering eyes. "Okay! I don''t want to tease you anymore. I still have errands to run in thepany. I''m leaving first." Amos pushed the door open and left the room. Eudora could hear the sound of engine revving outside. She stood by the window, still wrapped in the nket. When she saw Amos'' car had driven away into the distance, she let out a sigh of relief. Amos was a beastst night. Eudora''s legs were still weak from all the action. After freshening up, Eudora decided to get herself some after-morning pills just in case. She popped a pill into her mouth and stuffed the rest into her bag. The deal was supposed tost for just one year. It wouldn''t be good if idents happen in between. When she was just about to drive back to the house, her phone rang. Eudora took her phone and saw that it was a call from her mother- in-w. It was most likely to be about her son. Eudora knew that she couldn''t avoid it forever anyway, so she picked up the phone. Before she could even utter a hello, she heard screams and shouts from the other side of the line. "Eudora, you evil and heartless woman. What did the Meyer family ever do to you? You viciously sent my son into jail! Go to hell!" Eudora sneered. "If you''re calling me to curse at me, then forget about it!" She had thought that Laura Westin had called her to apologize. But instead she got berated and cursed by her. Eudora shook her head at her own naivety. After hanging up the phone, Eudora took a few deep breaths and cooled down. When she got home, Eudora found out that there were more than a dozen missed calls on her phone. All of them were from Laura. What a maddy! Eudora registered Laura''s number into her cklist. She put her phone away and felt emotionally drained. Even though Amos said that he would deal with it for her, at the end of the day it was her problem and it had been bugging her the whole time. Eudora picked up the broom and started cleaning the living room. At least doing something productive would keep her mind off things. Her phone started ringing again. It was an unknown number this time. Eudora was worried that Amos was looking for her, so she picked it up. Eudora could hear a familiar voice from the other end. It was her stepmother, Felicia Maurice. "Eudora,e back home quickly and see your father. Your father is ill." Eudora was stunned. "If he''s ill, bring him to the hospital. I''m not a doctor. Why do you want me to see him?" "Eudora, how could you say that. No matter what he is still your father. Are you really that heartless?" Eudora could hear her father''s faint coughing through the call. No matter how reluctant she was, Eudora''s heart softened and she eventually gave in. She hung up the phone and left the house. When Eudora reached the George family''s residence, Kesha George was already standing by the entrance. She immediately walked towards Eudora and gave her a p. Eudora was caught off-guard by the sudden p. She stumbled backwards. When she snapped back to her senses and realised that the person who pped her was her half- sister, she didn''t hesitate to p her back. Kesha raised her hand, wanting to hit Eudora again, but Eudora grabbed her wrist firmly, "Kesha, you dare to p me again?" Kesha had never seen Eudora like this before. Even though Eudora had always been very firm, she always gave in for the sake of her father. But things were different now. Kesha knew Eudora was not joking about the threat. She cried in fear. "Dad, Mom..." "How dare you!" Gordon George stood up with his trembling hands. "This is your family home. As soon as youe back, you shout and hit your family members? What''s wrong with you?" When Eudora heard this, she pushed Kesha away. She scoffed, "Shout and hit my family members? You were sitting there since I got in. Didn''t you see that it was Kesha who pped me first? Do I even belong in this house?" The sarcasm in her words made Gordon''s blood boil. "You..." Felicia quickly moved over to support her husband. "Gordon, don''t be too angry. Eudora finally came back. Didn''t you have something to tell her?" Gordon paused and looked at Eudora, his anger subsiding. "Your mother- in-w called just now, saying that you sent Felix to the police station. What''s going on?" It turned out to be just one of Laura''s many tricks. Eudora''s heart sank. "Laura, what else did she say? Did she ask you to persuade me to go back?" Gordon''s expression darkened. "She is your mother-inw. You should respect her, Eudora!" Felicia spoke with a tint of sarcasm in her voice. "We''re all overwhelmed with emotions right now. Let''s talk about it slowly." Eudora sneered, "Don''t pretend to be a good person. Your daughter knew exactly what Felix has done to me. I don''t believe that the both of you are so ignorant of what actually happened!" Felicia''s face turned pale and she silently lowered her head, feigning ignorance. Gordon was furious. "No matter what Felix had done to you, he is still your husband. It is wrong for you to send your own husband to the police station. And how can you talk to your mother like this? I want you to apologize to your mother immediately! Eudora looked at Gordon in disappointment. She really couldn''t believe the words that her father had just uttered. She felt angry and shouted, "My mother died a long time ago!" "You scum!" Gordon picked up the jewelry box on the table and threw it towards Eudora. Kesha''s eyes lit up in excitement. Felicia tried to stop Gordon but to no avail. Eudora moved aside and pped the jewelry box away. Unfortunately, instead ofnding on her face, it Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. smashed right into her arm. The jewelry box broke and one of its sharp edges cut Eudora''s arm deep. Blood started oozing from her wound. Gordon was stunned. "Eudora, you..." "Don''t you dare call my name!" Eudora clenched her teeth and red at Gordon. This man was her hero ever since she was a child. Fie was the one who would always apany her to school events, carrying her on his shoulders when she was little. Fie also used to say to her, "My princess, as long as I am around, no one in this world will dare to bully you!" Eudoraughed bitterly at the irony. She never once thought her father would end up treating her like this. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Eudora George was disappointed. She clenched her teeth and covered her wound with her hands. She closed her eyes to calm herself down. He was no longer her hero. After her mother died, her loving father had also slowly turned into this monster whom she couldn''t even recognize anymore. Eudora took a deep breath and opened her eyes. "Tell Laura that I will do everything to make Felix sign that divorce agreement." With that, she turned around and left the house. Gordon George stepped forward to chase after Eudora but he was pulled back by his other daughter. "Dad, Eudora is too much. Now that she''s Amos Granger''s lover, she no longer respects her own husband." Gordon frowned. "She''s nothing but bad luck!" After leaving her family home, Eudora wandered around aimlessly. She didn''t know how long she had been walking on the streets. Her phone started ringing again, but Eudora didn''t have the energy to pick up the call. ''Who else could it be if not her father who wanted her to go back so badly?'' she thought. But the phone kept ringing. Eudora was so annoyed that she answered the phone without even looking at the caller ID. "I won''t go back. Don''t even think about it!" Eudora yelled into the phone. The caller was silent. Suddenly a deep masculine voice erupted from the other end, "Eudora? Did someone piss you off?" "Mr... Mr. Granger?" Eudora was stunned and checked her screen. This was an unknown number as well, but it was a different number from before. "Where are you?" Amos asked. Only then Eudora realized that the sky had already turned dark. She quickly said, "I''lle back now." "Where are you now?" Amos asked again. Eudora looked around her surroundings and told him her location. Amos replied quickly, "Find a safe ce and wait for me there. I''lle and pick you up." After that, he hung up the phone. Eudora looked around and noticed that the lights in one of the markets were still on. She walked over and sat on a bench by the door. Quite a distance away, Eudora saw a young man walking towards her direction, his hand holding on to a little girl. The girl was wearing a princess outfit with a smile on her face. When they walked past Eudora, she heard the girl whispering to the man, "Daddy, I want a big doll!" "Okay, Daddy will buy it for you." "Then what about my princess bed?" "Of course I will buy for you too, my little princess!" The girl giggled and turned to look at the sky. "Daddy, I want the stars in the sky too. Can you help me pick them?" The man pretended to be in a dilemma. "Well, that is quite difficult for me. What should I do?" The little girl thought that she had put her father in a difficult situation and immediately shook her head. "Then I don''t want it." "Now now. Close your eyes and let Daddy try!" The little girl closed her eyes. The man looked around and noticed Eudora sitting on the bench. He Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. walked towards Eudora, his hands holding a stack of neon-colored stic origami. "Miss, do you know how to fold a star?" "Oh yes!" Eudora took the origami and quickly folded a star for him. The man thanked her repeatedly, carefully holding the star in his palm as if he was protecting a treasure. "Little princess, open your eyes and have a look!" "Wow!" As the two of them slowly walked away, Eudora''s eyes welled up with tears. When Amos arrived at the location Eudora gave him, he saw a woman sitting by the bench alone. When he approached her, he saw that her shoulders were trembling slightly. He walked over and pulled her into his arms. "Are you crying?" Eudora didn''t expect Amos to reach so quickly. He wiped her tears away and shook her head. "No, there''s just something in my eyes..." Who did she think she was fooling? With such a poor excuse no less. "Where did you go this afternoon? It''s okay if you don''t want to tell me, I can still find out myself." Eudora muttered softly, "I was at my family home." Amos'' eyes darkened. "Did they bully you?" "I''m fine!" Eudora shook her head. She didn''t know why, but somehow Amos'' concerned eyes made her feel like crying even more. Her tears couldn''t stop pouring. Amos noticed the mark on her cheek and the bloodstain on her arm. "Did they hurt you too?" He gently pulled Eudora''s bleeding arm. "Eudora, how long do you want to keep up with this pretense? Why won''t you rely on me?" Eudora cried even harder at his words. This was the second time that she cried in his arms. He had always been so unapproachable and scary, but somehow every time when someone hurt her, Amos would always rush to her side. She couldn''t help but lower her guard around him. "Stop crying okay," Amos said exasperatedly. "We need to dress the wound on your arm first." He wiped away her tears away and carried her to his car. Amos sped home. The moment they were in the living room, he took out his first-aid kit and carefully cleaned the wound on Eudora''s arm. The blood had already dried up. After cleaning up and disinfecting the area, there was a small cut across her arm and it looked a little gory. Amos frowned. "Was it Gordon? Is he still a man?" Eudora was stunned. "How did you know?" "Well... If there''s anyone in this world that could make you cry so much, it must be your father. Am I right?" That''s true. Eudoraughed bitterly. "Don''t worry, I''ll never cry for him again in the future. He''s not worth it!" Amos frowned. "But why did he ask you to go back?" "It''s Laura," Eudora said. "She wants me to go back and save her son. As for my family... they probably think that I ruined their reputation by doing that to my husband?" Amos narrowed his eyes. "So it was both the George Family and the Meyer Family huh?" "What do you mean?" Eudora asked subconsciously. "Nothing!" Amos replied. He then carried Eudora upstairs. "You need to rest." Eudora initially felt awkward to have Amos care for her that way, but when she reached her bed, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep soon after. After Eudora fell into a deep sleep, Amos stood up from the bed and left the room to make a phone call. "Clint, I told you to take care of the Meyer family. What''s the progress?" "There seems to be some hups. Felix Meyer is too shrewd. The officers couldn''t find any evidence to prove his involvement. If they aren''t able to find anything by tomorrow, he will be released." "Heh..." Amos sneered. Clint Zuckerberg shuddered at his boss'' cold reply. "What about the Phantom Group? It''s been doing well these past few years. Surely there''s something you could find there?" Clint understood his boss'' message clearly. "Noted President Granger. I will look it up first thing tomorrow." "And!" Amos paused, "Ask Gordon George toe to my office tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Amos walked back into the room and held Eudora''s hand. The wound on her arm stood out like a sore thumb on her perfect porcin skin. Amos stared at it and his eyes gradually darkened again. "Gordon George?" Even if he''s her biological father, Amos will never allow him to bully his woman. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 In the President''s office in Valiant East Group. When Gordon George entered the room, he saw Amos Granger leaningzily on the executive chair. A coffee-coloured poodle was resting on hisp. The man gently stroked the puppy''s fur. A man was seen kneeling down pathetically in front of Amos and he suddenly pped himself hard. Gordon recognized the man. His name is Clement Zayn and he was the director of apany owned by one of the most influential families in Rosaville City. Thest time Gordon saw Clement was when he went over hispany to ask for his help to support the George family. But at that time, Clement had refused to meet him and rejected his beg for help. Never in Gordon''s mind did he expect that even the arrogant Clement Zayn had to face the wrath of Amos Granger. "Mr. Granger, I admit that it is my fault for being so ignorant. I didn''t know that it was your puppy. Please forgive me!" Amos ignored his pleas and continued petting his poodle. Gordon''s heart skipped a beat. He knew what was happening. Yesterday, he hit Eudora. Amos made such a big fuss over his small little puppy. Gordon knew he was doomed. Amos turned around to look at Gordon. The man had exceptionally handsome features, but the moment he stared at him, Gordon felt unease spread through his body. Even though Gordon was a veteran in the business society, he couldn''t help but tremble at the sight of the young man sitting in front of him. "Mr.... Mr. Granger." "Hm." Amos acknowledged his presence. Amos pointed to the sofa in the middle of the room, "Sit down first, I''ll talk to you after I''m done with him." He stroked the puppy''s head and then opened his mouth. "So which foot did you use to kick it?" Clement, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned and his face turned pale. "Mr. Granger..." "Which foot?" Amos asked again. "Left...left foot..." "You know what to do then!" Amos said coldly. "Mr. Granger..." Clement crawled forward and held on Amos'' legs. "I know I was wrong. I won''t do it again." Clint Zuckerberg frowned "Mr. Granger does not repeat what he says. I urge you to do it now before the bodyguardse and help you to it!" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Clement knew if Amos'' men came in, he would be losing more than just a leg. Clement shook his head quickly. He looked at his feet and hesitated for a moment. He then picked up the stick next to him and hit his foot hard. "Ah!!!" Gordon stood up in shock when he heard Clement''s screams of pain. Clint immediately ordered his men to pull Clement out of the room. Gordon turned to look at the direction the man had left and his whole body began to tremble. Amos put down the puppy on the floor and got up from his seat. He slowly walked over to Gordon. "I''m sure you already know the reason you''re here?" Gordon''s heart was beating wildly against his chest. "You... you want my daughter to get a divorce from Felix? But if the Meyer family doesn''t want to do it, I can''t do anything either." "No!" Amos roared. Gordon shivered at the man''s cold voice. He knew he was not going to be able to escape this time. "Then..." "Eudora went back to her family home yesterday afternoon and didn''t return until it waste at night. When I found her, her arm was bleeding. Do you know what happened?" Amos'' expression was still calm, but when he mentioned about the bleeding, his face darkened. Gordon gulped at Amos'' menacing voice. So it was about that after all. His legs went weak, "I... about this..." He stammered under his breath and couldn''t seem toplete his sentence. Amos knew that Gordon was scared out of his wits. He sneered. "Since you are Eudora''s father, I won''t do anything to you this time. But I want you to know that from now on, Eudora is my woman and no one, not even her father, can touch a single strand of her hair!" "Yes, yes, yes!" Gordon nodded his head repeatedly. Clint saw that it was almost time, so he entered the room and ushered Gordon out. A momentter, Clint returned to the room, "Mr. George seemed to be very terrified. When he left the room, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground." "Hmm," Amos said. Clint asked respectfully, "Clement Zayn wanted to frame us using fake goods, and we found out about his tax evasion as well. If this was released to the public, he wouldn''t be able to survive. May I know why did you let him go so easily?" Amos smiled faintly. "Because he helped me make a point. Didn''t you say Gordon George was so terrified that he fell to the ground? I suppose Clement Zayn was still useful after all!" Clint raised his eyebrows, "You''re really kind to Miss George." Amos didn''t say anything. "So, this puppy, should I send it back to the pet Amos nced at the poodle. "There''s no need. I''ll keep it." Clint was shocked. He couldn''t believe his ears. Amos hated dogs. Heck, he never even wanted to touch them before. And now he wanted to keep it as a pet? "Is there anything else?" Amos nced at the unmoving figure in the room. "N... No." Clint stammered and left the room. In Clearwater Bay, Eudora was so exhausted yesterday that she slept till noon. When she woke up, Eudora wore her pyjamas and made herself a drink in the kitchen downstairs. Her bedhair was still obvious. When she reached the foot of the stairs, she saw a coffee-coloured puppy running in from outside. Eudora''s eyes lit up in delight.She squatted down and grabbed one of the puppy''s feet. "Whose puppy are you? Did you get lost?" The puppy barked a few times, its small eyes sparkled brightly. Eudora picked it up. "Come, I''ll take you home." She carried the puppy in her arms and walked out from the house. She bumped into Amos who just got out from the car. Eudora was stunned and subconsciously raised her hand to tidy her messy hair. "Mr. Granger, why are you back so early?" The Eudora he used to see was always either made- chapter 26 up or dressed to impress. This was the first time Amos seen her in such a casual manner, with bed hair no less. Amos smiled lightly at their casual but intimate interaction. He reached out his hand to rub her hair, "I picked it up on the way for you." Eudora was stunned. Is this the same Amos Granger that she had known all this while? She opened her mouth in a daze, "For me?" "Yes, give it a name!" Eudora thought for a moment, "It''s such a cheerful puppy. Let''s call it C then!" C? Such a childish name, Amos thought to himself. However, when he saw how happy Eudora was when she hugged C, he knew it was all worth it. "That''s a good name!" Eudora walked to the kitchen with C in her arms. "I''ll make something for it to eat." When she was halfway to the kitchen, she turned around, "What about you? What are you going to have for lunch?" Amos said, "... You''re so brave now?" Did she justpare him to a puppy? Only then did Eudora realized what she said and she couldn''t hold back herughter. "I''m sorry, I didn''t do it on purpose." The sun shone brightly on the woman''s lovely and beautiful smile. She looked like a blooming flower. Amos smiled and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The sun was shining perfectly through the windows onto the two lovers, adding warmth to the already passionate moment. Perhaps it was the fact that the man had taken care of her through her weakest moments, Eudora George found herself feeling a little closer to Amos Granger. Her body rxed under his touch, no longer stiff as before. Eudora unknowingly pulled Amos closer to her body. Her softness and sudden eagerness ignited Amos¡¯ inner desire. Amos reacted instinctively and gently pulled Eudora''s head back, deepening the kiss. C tried wiggling out of Eudora''s arms, and that sudden movement snapped her back to her senses. "Mr.... Mr. Granger." "Amos." he responded candidly. "A...mos..." "Off you go!" Amos put C down on the floor, which then ran cheerfully around the house with its new-found freedom. Amos turned around and held Eudora''s hand and pulled her towards the sofa. His gaze were fixated on Eudora''s petite body, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom. Eudora blushed and turned away shyly. Amos turned her around again and said, "Eudora, look at me." The blinding lights in the room blurred her vision, and Eudora could not see him clearly. She squinted her eyes. Amos could no longer resist his desire. Heid his body on Eudora. The room was filled with passion. After they were done, Eudora felt a little embarrased and curled up in Amos¡¯ arms. She didn''t expect she would lose her mind just like that. The manughed softly when he saw her adorable look. Eudora could hear his faint heartbeat thumping from his chest. That made her heart beat faster too. "I... I''m going to cook." Amos whispered softly, "You''re still not full?" Eudora didn''t seem to understand his question. "We haven''t had lunch yes?" "Hmm?" The man suddenly regained his energy and pulled Eudora against his body. "It seems like I didn''t work hard enough." Only then she realised that he meant. Eudora yfully pushed Amos away, "Aren''t you supposed to go for work now too?" "So what? I''m the boss." "Amos!" she bit her lip in frustration and stared at him. "Stop it..." Amos knew that she was really embarrassed so he stopped teasing her. "You should take a rest. Don''t cook tonight, we''ll go out and eat something nice." "Okay!" Eudora nodded and watched him leave after putting on his clothes. After resting for a while, C ran to her feet and started barking. Eudora tidied up her clothes and got up. She took out a small basket from the storage room and made a small bed for the puppy. Never in her life did Eudora think that she would have the chance to appreciate this kind of peace. It was almost too good to be true. For once in her life, Eudora felt that her fate seemed to be heading towards a good direction. Eudora''s phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts. As soon as the call was connected, Eudora heard a familiar voice yelling from the other end, "Eudora, are you still a human? You actually told Amos Granger that your father hit you?" It was her half-sister, Kesha George. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Eudora was taken aback. "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Nonsense? How else would he had known if you weren''t the one who bbed it to him? He told Dad toe to his office this morning, and even broke a person''s leg in front of him! The man just identally kicked his puppy. Does that even warrant that kind of punishment? It''s obvious Amos is purposely trying to scare Dad!" Eudora recalled what happenedst night. When she was sleeping, she seemed to overhear Amos mentioning her father''s name. Eudora clenched her teeth. "So what? I thought I had nothing to do with you all anymore!" Kesha scoffed, "Eudora George, you really think that you''re so great now huh. Now that you have Amos Granger backing you up, you just don''t care about anyone else right! Do you really think that you''re Amos Granger''s lover? You''re just a dog, just like the one he protected in the morning! I''m waiting to see the day he finally dumps you away." Eudora''s heart was filled with frustration. She hung up the phone before Kesha could speak any further. Eudora felt a warm and wet sensation on her palm and saw that C was licking her. Eudora looked at C and remembered what Kesha said. That person identally kicked C and got one of his legs broken. Amos was never a simple man. No matter how gentle he was to her, it was a known fact that any women who hung around him never had a good ending. Perhaps, Kesha was right. Was it possible that Amos did all those things because she was just his pet? Then there was no difference between her and C! She was confused. Eudora let out a bitterugh and put the puppy back on its bed. When Amos came back to fetch Eudora in the evening, she had already changed her clothes. "Mr. Granger, we can leave now." Amos¡¯ eyes darkened at the sudden formality. "What did you call me?" "Mr. Granger." Eudora lowered her head. One year. She only has one year to spend together with this man. She would be very lucky if the both of them treated each other with respect till the end. Amos didn''t say anything. He stood silently for a few minutes, and walked over to Eudora. He lifted her chin and looked at her intently. "Are you upset? Did something happen?" "No!" Eudora shook her head. "Did the George family find you?" Eudora was slightly taken aback, but in the end, she still shook her head. "They really didn''t." "Woman, don''t try to lie to me." Amos said indifferently. "I''m not lying!" Eudora smiled softly. In the end, the two of them didn''t go out for dinner. Eudora whipped up some food and both of them had their meals quietly. It was a stark contrast with the warm and intimate afternoon they spent together. C roamed around aimlessly in the house, but its owners paid no attention to it. Later that night after Eudora fell asleep, Amos took her phone on the cab and looked through it. There was a number entry from the afternoon. Amos dialed the number from her phone. A woman started yelling from the other end once the call was connected. "Eudora George, did you finallye to your senses? Why are you calling me? Are you calling me to see if Dad is still alive or not?" Amos narrowed his eyes. "Kesha George!" Kesha was stunned by the deep voice. She stammered, "Amos... I..." "It seems that I was too kind to the George family." "I... I..." Kesha couldn¡¯t speak properly. "What did you say to Eudora?" "I didn''t say anything, I..." "Say it!" Amos said those words with a tinge of vengeance in his voice. Kesha, on the other side of the line, was so terrified that she told him everything he wanted to hear. After that Kesha begged, "Mr. Granger, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me!" Amos ignored her pleas and hung up the phone. They say empty cans make the most noise. He knew that for a woman like Kesha, he didn''t have to do much. His threats were probably more than enough to scare her away forever." Amos turned off the phone and looked at Eudora who was sleeping soundly next to him. He was wondering why her attitude suddenly changed so drastically. Was that the reason? Silly woman! Chapter 28 Chapter 28 When Eudora George woke up the next day, Amos Granger had left the house. After lying on the bed for a while, Eudora got up from bed and went out to buy groceries. As soon as she got outside, she saw Laura Westin standing by the door. Eudora was stunned for a moment and turned around to avoid her. Unexpectedly, Laura chased after her. "Eudora, I have something to tell you." Her mother-inw had never spoken so politely to her before. Eudora raised her eyebrows. "I think the George family had already told you my decision. I don''t have anything else to say to you!" Hearing this, Laura lowered her head. She was just a woman from the countryside. She thought that her son was very powerful, but she didn''t expect that Amos was much more powerful than her son. When she thought of how her son had been tortured in prison, she didn''t know what to do anymore. "I know. I''m not here to look for trouble. I''m here to tell you that we will grant you the divorce. Just tell Amos to let my son go!" "You will grant me the divorce?" "Yes, I promise. As soon as Felixes out, he will sign the divorce agreement immediately!" Laura still had some influence in the Meyer family. Since she had promised so, Felix would listen to her too. But Eudora was still wary of them. Especially when she recalled what Felix Meyer had done to her. Once bitten, twice shy. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ask him to sign the divorce agreement first then I''ll ask Amos to let him out." "Eudora George!" Laura''s face darkened, but for the sake of her son, she held back. "I''m begging you. Felix have never suffered so much before. Would you take pity on an old person like me?" Eudora frowned. She had been married to the Meyer family for three years. In the past, she had always been nice to her mother-inw, never failing to serve her everything she needed. Laura, on the other hand, never treated her well. Eudora never thought that just as they were about to get a divorce, Laura woulde over and plead to her. "The way things work in this world..." "No way!" Eudora was still hesitant. She had suffered so much all her life, she didn''t want to be betrayed again. "Instead of begging me, why don''t you waste your energy persuading Felix to sign the divorce agreement!" Eudora turned around to leave. Laura was so angry that she chased after Eudora and tried to hit her. Eudora raised her head and looked straight at Laura. "Take a look at where we are and consider whether that would be the right thing to do or not." Laura clenched her teeth, "Isn''t he just Amos Granger? What will happen if I hit you?" "Why don''t you give it a try? Let''s see what happens after." Laura hesitated. She remembered that Amos did not give mercy even to Eudora¡¯s own biological father, what more her mother- in-w. Her hand stopped midair. She lowered her hand and left, dejected. Eudora sighed and turned around for the supermarket. Unexpectedly, she saw Amos standing in front of her. He smirked at her, his eyes filled with mischief. "Did I hear you mention my name?" Eudora was a little embarrassed. "I... I didn''t mean to use your name to scare people away! I''m sorry." Amos said casually, "It doesn''t matter. You¡¯ re obviously a cute little kitty, aren¡¯t you? Feisty, but still cute." Eudora was even more embarrassed and she quickly changed the subject. "Why are you back?" "Well, if I wasn''t back, I wouldn''t have been able to see such a satisfying scene happening in front of me, would I?" Eudora pursed her lips, "Oh my God." "Anyway, someone''s here to see you.." After saying this, he turned around and behind him was Kesha George. Eudora frowned. "Why is she here?" "Sister!" Kesha was frightened the entire night after her conversation with Amos. She dared not sleep, nor did she have any appetite to eat. She looked like she aged for 10 years. With dark circles under her eyes, she ran over to Eudora and pleaded to her. "Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn''t have said those mean words to you yesterday. It''s all my fault. Please don''t be angry." Eudora was stunned. "Mr. Granger..." "Weren''t you upset yesterday because of her?" Amos said in a low voice, "She''s here now. You can do anything you want to her." Eudora''s heart sank. She shook her head lightly. Amos Granger and his way of dealing with things. Eudora sighed, "I''m going back first." "Sister!" Kesha was about to chase after her but was stopped by Clint Zuckerberg, who was standing ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. next to Amos. "You are not allowed to go there." "Mr. Granger!" Kesha begged Amos again. "I''ve already apologized to my sister. You saw it too. She refused to give me a chance." "Get lost!" Amos shouted impatiently. Kesha trembled at Amos'' temper and scurried away quickly. Clint looked at the direction that Eudora had left to and asked, "President Granger, should I chase after Miss George?" "No need!" Amos¡¯ face darkened. "Ask Harley to meet me." Half an hourter, in the club. When Harley Louis entered the room, he saw Amos sitting on the sofa with a grim expression. The girls in the room all sat far away from Amos and looked at him in fear. Harley waved his hand, "Everyone. Get out." Hearing this, everyone ran out to leave the room. Harley poured himself a ss of wine and said with a smile, "What''s wrong? To what do I owe the pleasure to your presence at this hour? Is something wrong?" "Shut up!" "Oh!" Harley raised his ss and finished the wine in a gulp. "Is Madam upset at you?" Amos'' expression turned sour. "That''s what I''m talking about!" Harley suddenly said, "Even I can''t stand it. Obviously Madam wouldn''t have it as well. Can''t you be a little more gentle? You''re always talking about violence, yelling and killing people all the time. Are you trying to scare her away?" Amos lit up a cigarette slowly. ''Scare her away?1 Could the reason she was acting this way not because of Kesha, but because she felt that he was too scary? Amos'' lips twitched. It wasn''t his choice that he was born into this kind of family. From young he was taught that there were no better solutions other than violence. If he hadn''t been so tough, would he have survived till now? "Did I hit the right spot?" Harleyughed. "Women are meant to be loved and cared for. They are not your enemies! Especially your delicate littledy. If you are gentle to her, I''m sure she will fall in love with you." Amos ignored him. He put his cigarette out and stood up. Harley was stunned, "Where are you going?" "Home!" "What the f*ck!" Harley couldn''t believe his ears. "Didn''t you say that people like you can''t have a home? Why are you saying that you''re going home now? And why are you saying it so casually?" Amos threw a pillow at Harley''s face. When Amos reached home, Eudora was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When she saw him enter the room, she quickly got up and said, "I will go and cook." Amos grabbed her hand before she could run away. "Do you think that I am too violent?" Eudora was stunned for a moment and then shook her head. Thinking about the events today, she also felt that she had overreacted a little. "I''m sorry, I know I don''t have the right to ask you to change anything. And I know that you''re doing this for my own good. It''s my fault this time. I''m sorry. I won''t do it next time." The man wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a tight hug. "No, you have every right to." Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Eudora George was startled. "Amos..." The name Amos'' was verymon, but it felt special when it came out of her mouth. "Yes, call me this name from now on," Amos Granger said. Amos'' arms gradually tightened. Eudora panicked. She was worried that yesterday''s incident would happen again, so she quickly broke free. "C is hungry..." Eudora said. This time, Amos did not stop her. He let her escape to the kitchen. However after they were done with their meal, Eudora was once again pinned down on the dining table by Amos as they did the deed. Later, Eudora was so tired that she didn''t want to stand up. This man was the most powerful man in Rosaville City, wasn''t he? Why did he look like he had been restrained for more than 20 years? Amos carried her upstairs and put her on the bed. Amos changed his clothes as he looked into the little woman''s narrowed eyes. "Have a good rest. You don''t need to clean up the house. A part-time maid wille here every two days. If you think it won''t work, I''ll ask Clint to arrange someone else toe." Eudora shook her head and said, "There''s no need. I don''t have anything to do at home anyway. Maybe I can lose some weight doing house chores." After that, she stretched out her head to look for something. The quilt identally slipped down, showing her perfect cor bones. "Does she even need to lose weight?" Amos thought. His eyes darkened as old desires resurfaced. However, looking at how tired the little woman was, he suppressed himself. He walked over and wrapped her up. "What are you looking for?" he asked in a hoarse voice. "Oh, the pill I bought," Eudora said slowly. Hearing this, Amos tightened his grip. "You really don''t want to have my child that much?" ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. "Er..." Eudora pursed her lips. "No, I just don''t want to leave you any trouble. One year from now, if we separate, then I..." "I''m not afraid of trouble!" Amos said coldly. "But..." Eudora frowned. She didn''t want to have a child. After all, children are fruits of love. The rtionship between her and Amos was just purely transactional. Having a child would only be irresponsible. Before she even finished her sentence, the man threw the pill into the trash can. "I said no!" Amos said. Eudora lost her temper and reached out her hand to pick it up. This time, Amos grabbed her hand, and his face was dark and scary. Just when Eudora thought he was going to explode with anger, he sighed. "Forget it, I will buy condoms!" After that, he left the room. Eudora came to her senses. "What did Amos say? Did he say he would buy condoms? Why does it feel like I''m dreaming?" Eudora was stunned for a while, but she was still worried. She picked up the bottle of after-morning pills and ate one before throwing the rest into the trash can. The next morning, Eudora received a phone call from Laura Westin again. "I''ve signed the divorce agreement. Come and get it right away!" Laura said. Eudora was delighted. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She was extremely happy. Coincidentally, Eudora nned to pick up some of herte mother''s possessions back at the Meyer family. Eudora made an appointment with Laura to meet there. Eudora quickly hailed a taxi to the Meyer family residence. When she didn''t see Laura, she went upstairs to take what she wanted. She didn''t want anything else except for her mother''s belongings. She found Felix Meyer sitting there. Felix gave her a gloomy smile. "I''ve told you before that I didn''t do anything. They can''t lock me up." Eudora''s heart sank and she realized that she had been cheated. She turned around to leave, but the door behind her was shut. Felix walked straight towards Eudora. "Let''s see where you''re going this time." "Felix!" Eudora gritted her teeth. "If you dare to touch a hair on my head, Phantom Group will be finished!" Flearing the noise, Laura rushed downstairs. When she heard Eudora, her face darkened. "Felix, forget it. What else do you want to do with her? Get divorced now! I''ll find a better one for you!" Laura said. "Mom, you don''t have to worry about me!" Felix sneered. "She''s still my legitimate wife. I can do whatever I want!" "Son!" Laura was still afraid. After all, she was a timid woman. "I know what I''m doing. Go upstairs." Felix said. Laura had no choice but to retreat. Eudora saw an opening and tried to escape, but Felix pulled her back. "Did Amos like you? I''ll have a taste of the most beautiful woman in Rosaville City today." Felix''s crazy look terrified Eudora. "Felix, if you dare to touch me today, you will regret it!" she snapped. " ha!" Felix sneered. "It''s been three years, and I still haven''t had a taste of you yet. That would change today." Fie threw Eudora on the sofa and pressed himself on her. Eudora struggled desperately, and the things she was holding on to fell to the ground. "Eudora, like I said, you and I will be together till death!" Felix said. Felix was determined this time. Fie began to tear Eudora''s clothes. Luckily, Eudora was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt today, but Felix almost tore them apart. At this critical moment, a servant suddenly ran in from outside. "Young Master, something bad is happening..." "Get out!" Felix shouted. The servant trembled and struggled to catch himself. "It''s Amos Granger. Fle''sing," the servant said. As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly-closed iron door outside was cut open. Amos Granger strode in with his men. Felix''s heart sank, and he jumped off Eudora. Fie was about to wee Amos, but Amos didn''t even look at him. "Flit him!" Amos ordered his bodyguards. They rushed forward and surrounded Felix. Soon, only Felix''s howls could be heard in therge living room. Eudora looked at Amos standing in front of her in a daze. This was the third time that Amos had saved her. At this moment, even if she heard rumors that he killed people, she did not care anymore. She only knew that this man was the only person she could rely on at this moment. After checking on her, Amos was relieved to find that she was fine. When Laura came down and saw her son being beaten, she was so scared that she cried out loud. "Son! Stop! Please stop hitting him," Laura screamed. But Amos'' bodyguards didn''t stop. They only listened to one person, and that was Amos! Laura realised that Amos was the leader here, so she hurried over and begged him. "Mr. Granger, please stop hitting him. My son was just confused for a moment. He really didn''t mean to hurt Eudora! Eudora, please tell Mr. Granger that we asked you toe here to sign the divorce agreement! This is all a misunderstanding!" Chapter 30 Chapter 30 "Misunderstanding? If she still believed that, then she deserves to be unlucky." Eudora George thought. At this moment, Eudora was nestled in Amos Granger''s arms, with only one thought in her mind. If Amos hadn''te when he did, would Laura Westin havee downstairs? Would she still say that it was all a misunderstanding? Laura would probably have looked at her with disdain and called her a whore. Eudora buried her face in Amos'' arms. Felix''s screams were horrible. Laura pleaded but to no avail, so she rushed to the men again. "Felix, my son." Laura cried. The mother and son shouted for a long time. The bodyguards finally stopped. Felix struggled to get up and stared at Eudora ferociously. Laura hurriedly took the prepared divorce agreement, ran to Felix, and said, "Son, don''t argue with them anymore. Divorce her immediately!" Upon hearing this, Felix sneered. The blood stains on his face made him look even more terrifying. Fie grabbed the agreement and tore it into pieces. "What? You failed to frame me. So you''re trying to frighten me again now that I''m out of the police station? Kill me if you dare! I said that I won''t divorce her!" Upon hearing this, Amos nced at Clint Zuckerberg behind him. Clint immediately threw a stack of photos in front of Felix. "This is a project of Phantom Groupst year, isn''t it? Bad quality building materials that resulted in three workers being crushed to death. Until now, their families still haven''t beenpensated!" Clint said. Felix was stunned for a moment. "This matter has passed. What can you do to me?" he gasped. "Really? What about this one?" Clint threw a another document at Felix''s face. "This is Phantom Group''s tax records. From three years ago, Phantom Group''s total tax evasion has reached more than three billion dors. Just this alone is enough fora life sentence!" Laura Westin couldn''t understand, but when she saw the fear in her son''s eyes, she knew that things were not going well. Laura grabbed Felix''s arm. "Son, we can''t beat them. Just divorce her!" she begged. Felix pushed away Laura angrily. "What do you know?" heughed. "Do you think I''m a fool? You''ve forced me to this point, why should I even sign it? If I sign the agreement, will you let me go?" Flearing this, Amos smiled faintly. "It doesn''t matter even if you don''t sign it. As long as the divorce agreement is handed to the court, married couples will be legally divorced after two years of separation. It''s just two years. I can wait for a while. But, will your Phantom Group still exist after two years?" Having said that, he held Eudora in his arms and was about to get up and leave. Felix finally panicked. If he lose Phantom Group after losing Eudora, he would be forced into a dead end and be at the mercy of everyone. "Mr. Granger, it''s my fault. Please have mercy. I''ll divorce her immediately!" He hurriedly picked up the divorce agreement, only to remember that he had torn it apart. "I''ll print another one right away. Wait for me, I''ll..." "It''s toote!" This time, it was Eudora who spoke. She struggled for a moment and gestured for Amos to let her down. Felix hurriedly turned around and asked, "What did you say?" "I said it''s toote! Now it''s not just about the divorce. Felix, I want the George family''s Everpeace Group." Felix gritted his teeth, and his face became even more hideous. "You shameless woman, are you not satisfied?!" "Hmm?" Amos huffed, and Felix''s anger was instantly extinguished. He suddenlyughed triumphantly. "Then let me tell you, it''s toote for the Everpeace Group!" Felix was delighted to see Eudora''s worried expression. Seeing her unnerved made him happier than anyone else. "What do you mean?" Eudora asked. "What else would it mean! I''ve already sold it away a few days ago to the Gellert family!" Felix said. "You..." Eudora red at Felix. "You are such a viin." Of course, she knew that in the whole Rosaville City, the Gellert family was the only family that had the chance topete with the Granger family. Now that it had fallen into the hands of the Gellert family, the chance to get it back became even smaller. Felix was a scumbag. Fie had promised her that he would return it to her. "It doesn''t matter. You can say whatever you want. George family''s Everpeace Group has nothing to do with me anymore. If you want it, why don''t you try seducing the First Young Master of the Gellert family? Anyway, you are just a good-for-..." Before he could say the word ''nothing'', Amos threw a look at the bodyguards. The bodyguards once again gathered around Felix and beat him. "After you''re done ask him to sign the agreement." After saying this, Amos picked Eudora up again and walked out. Back in the car, Eudora wriggled out of Amos'' arms, embarrassed. "Thank you." "Silly woman! Who told you toe and see Felix alone?" Amos said. Fortunately, he received news that Felix was released from the station, so he came to ask Felix to sign the divorce agreement today. If he weren''t here in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. "I''m sorry!" Eudora med her own naivety. "Forget it!" Amos rubbed her hair, but his eyes fell on the thing in her hand. She had been holding on to it since he reached the ce. "What''s this?" Amos asked. "Oh..." Eudora carefully wiped the dust off it. It was a box. When she opened it, there was a ne inside. "This is a ne that my mother left me. I nned to take it with me when I came back today." The ne seemed familiar. "I think I have seen a simr ne before." Amos did not give it a second thought. Soon, Clint came out with the divorce agreement and handed it to Amos. Clint said, "Felix promised to apply for the divorce certificate in two days." "Good," Amos nodded. "What about the Phantom Group..." Clint carefully asked. Amos was about to tell Clint to finish Felix off, but he paused to look at Eudora. Fie remembered Eudora was sitting next to him. "Let''s talk about it after the divorce is finalised." After that, Amos started the car and drove off. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Clint couldn''t believe his eyes. What did he just see? He just saw his boss ncing at Eudora before making a decision. If it had been before, his boss would not even hesitate to order him to finish Felix off, especially when he had done so many despicable things! Now, he could even gave him a breather. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Two dayster. Eudora George was supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for the divorce certificate with Felix Meyer. When she got up this morning, Eudora made a point to dress herself well. Today was the first day of her new life after all. She ought to be in her best condition! While they were eating, Anya Astor came in. "President Granger has a meeting in the morning. I will be apanying you to the Civil Affairs Bureau instead," Anya said. Eudora was a little embarrassed. "But, isn''t this too much trouble?" "Of course not, your safety is my priority." Anya said. Eudora didn''t argue any more and got up to leave with Anya. By the time they arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Felix had already arrived. After two days of recovery, his injuries had healed a lot, but he was still full of rage. Flowever, when he saw Anya, he fought to restrain himself. Fie might be like this for the rest of his life. Eudora ignored him and went straight in. In just a few minutes, everything was done. With the divorce settled, Eudora was at ease. Eudora left the Civil Affairs Bureau without looking back. Behind her, Felix suddenly shouted, "Eudora, you''d better wait and see. As long as I''m alive, we will never be over." Eudora frowned. Felix drove off before she could say anything. Before Eudora could understand what was going on, she saw Anya smiling at her mischievously. "What''s wrong?" Eudora asked. "Look who''s here!" Eudora turned around and saw Amos Granger at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Eudora hurried over. "Why... Why are you here?" "I''m here to pick you up!" It was a simple statement, but it calmed her down. When Anya saw this, she couldn''t help but smile. "President Granger, I will take my leave first then." "Okay!" Fie took Eudora''s hand as if there was no one else around. "Let''s go." Eudora was shocked. They had already attracted a lot of attention as they were a good-looking couple. She hurriedly struggled and said, "Someone may see us." "So what?" Amos was so excited he practically dragged her into the car. "Where do you want to go?" Amos asked. Eudora was startled for a moment. Then she thought of a ce. "I want to visit my mother. Can I?" Hearing this, Amos nodded and said, "Then let''s go to buy some flowers first!" o o o o o At the outskirts of Rosaville City, Eudora George carefully ced the flowers she brought on her mother''s grave. She then knelt before it. "Mom, I have finally left the Meyer family. Although I have not regained my freedom fully, but I will definitely improve myself and be the daughter you''re proud of! Mom, don''t worry!" The wind whistled and drowned Eudora''s voice. Noticing that she was done talking, Amos approached Eudora from the back and bowed respectfully to the tomb. Eudora was astounded. She never thought Amos would do such a thing. When she was still in a daze, Amos took her hand and asked, "Where else do you want to go?" "I''m done for the day." Eudora shook her head. Her heart was full of warmth. "In order to thank you for helping me so much, I will go back and cook a hearty meal for you!." It was rare for Amos to see Eudora so happy. He smiled and said, "We can cook any time any day we want. Let''s go out and eat today!" Amos took her to the best ce he could find - the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Rosaville Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. City Hotel, the iconic building of Rosaville City. She could enjoy the night view of the city in 360 degrees. Although Eudora was born into a wealthy family, after her mother passed away, her father no longer cared about her. When she was still with the Meyer family, she either apanied Felix to entertain his business partners or spent the whole day dealing with housework. It was Eudora''s first time here. For the first time, she finally felt she had some control over her life. She was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine. When she came out of the bathroom, she identally bumped into a person. She hurriedly apologized, "Oh I''m sorry." She heard the man''s deepughter. "It''s my honor to bump into such a beautifuldy." Eudora was stunned. Only then did she get a clear look at the man in front of her. His words were quite impetuous but when she saw the smile on his face, she rxed. After a sigh of relief, Eudora said. "Thank you." "You''re wee!" the manughed. "What''s your name, Miss?" Because of her good looks, she had always attracted strangers'' attention. They tend to ask her for her name, but Eudora didn''t like to tell her name to just anyone, so she casuallyughed and said, "We met each other by chance. It''s good that you''re all right, sir." After that, she left. On the way back home, Eudora was already a little tipsy. When Amos helped her in, she tiptoed and kissed him on the face. "Thank you, Mr. Granger." After she said that, she realized that she was wrong and quickly corrected herself. "No, I mean Amos." "You''re so well-behaved..." Amos lowered his head and pecked her on the lips. It was a gentle kiss and his breath tickled her. Eudora lowered her head and rested against Amos'' chest. Her hair was fluffy and her eyes narrowed like azy kitty. Amos'' eyes darkened. He lifted her face and kissed her again. This time, it was no longer just a kiss. He pressed against her lips and carefully traced them. He was extremely patient. Eudora moaned at his soft kisses. He took the opportunity to slide his tongue into her parted lips, entangling her tongue in his. Eudora could feel heat rising up to her cheeks. Perhaps the alcohol was taking effect. Amos'' cooling body was inviting as she moved closer to him. The little woman''s soft hand and warm body made Amos'' body stiffen. The next second, he picked her up, stroked her lips, and walked upstairs. Another passionate night turned the summer night into a dream. The next day, when Eudora woke up, Amos was still in bed. She was leaning on Amos'' arm and hanging on to him like a ko. Eudora rememberedst night vaguely. She blushed and felt very upset that she got drunk. How could she lose control after only drinking a little wine? It seemed that she ought to drink less in the future! At that moment Amos opened his eyes. Eudora hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She heard his deepughter. "How long do you n to stay in bed?" Only then did Eudora open her eyes. "Morning." Amos looked out the window. "It''s almost noon." Feeling embarrassed, Eudora pulled the quilt to cover her face. Amos'' phone rang. He sat up and answered. Eudora thought he was going to leave. Unexpectedly, after answering the phone, he leaned back on the bed again and lit a cigarette. He seemed to be in a good mood. Eudora thought about it and asked, "Amos, can I go out to work?" Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Amos Granger was stunned. After a moment, he turned to look at the little woman with eager eyes. "I will support you. You don''t need to work," Amos said. Eudora George knew that he would say that. Being a person he is, he wouldn''t allow her to go out and work. However, Eudora knew this was something she had to do. Eudora softened her voice. "It''s not the same! I''ve wasted three years in the Meyer family doing nothing! I am so detached from everything. I want to know more about the outside world, even if... it''s for you." Amos narrowed his eyes. "For me?" "It''s all for you. If I can go out to work, maybe we can have more to talk about. You can finally share your troubles with me," Eudora said. Amos'' lips curled into an amused smile. "Little fox, when did you be such a sweet-talker?" Although he knew that it was just an excuse to go out, he was pleased. "I''m sincere!" Eudora insisted. Amos put out the cigarette in his hand and rolled over, pressing her down. "Let''s see how sincere you are," Amos teased. Eudora pursed her lips at the face bearing down on her. She raised her head and kissed his cheek. Amos couldn''t help butugh at her clumsy gesture. "That''s it?" With one hand free, he pointed to his lips and said, "Do it like how I usually do." Eudora frowned. She looked as if she was trying to recall what he meant, while hesitating to do it or not. The next second, her cheeks turned red, her eyes closed, and she moved to meet Amos'' lips. She had little practice at this. She smooched his lips twice and her face was already crimson, even her skin had a faint pink color. But she didn''t know that it was her innocent look that aroused him. Her lips lingered for awhile before she retreated. "Is this..." His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss her before she could finish the sentence. His every move was detailed, almost like he was guiding and teaching her. After he finished, he stopped for two seconds, giving Eudora a chance to breathe. He waited till he had his fill and then looked at her with a smile. "Did you learn it?" It took a moment for Eudora to respond. "What?" She was still in a daze. "It seems that you still haven''t learned it..." His voice was low and hoarse. "No, no, no! I learned it!" Eudora pleaded. "Have you really learned it? Then give it a try." Amos ordered. "Ah?" Eudora rubbed her sore waist, her naked backpletely exposed to Amos. "Can I do it tomorrow?" "Are you really that tired?" Amos covered her with the quilt and got out of bed. "Alright then." Knowing that Amos was about to leave, Eudora asked hurriedly, "Then I..." "Thepany is about to recruit full-time staff. You can hand in your resume if you want. I will ask Clint to settle it," Amos said curtly. "Really?" Eudora was overjoyed. She jumped out of bed and hugged Amos'' thin waist from behind. "Thank you!" Her bare chest pressed against his back. Amos'' eyes darkened. "You asked for it this time." Eudora was taken aback. She turned around and tried to run, but was pulled back by Amos. Sunlight shone through the window as the sun set. Eudora rubbed her waist and got out of bed again. Although Amos did not let her off easy, she was happy just to work. The next day, Eudora handed in her resume. Not only that, she also handed in the resume for the Gellert family''s Everpeace Group. After Everpeace was acquired by the Gellert family, it resumed its operation but no longer belonged to the George family. If only she could go to Everpeace Group to look after herte-mother''s treasuredpany. In the All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Valiant East Group. In the spacious president''s office, Harley Louis stood at the table as if he was scrutinizing some peculiar artifact. He stared at Amos Granger''s face for a long time. Amos frowned and threw the document in his hand to him. "Are you done looking at me?" Amos asked. "Hey, Clint told me that you didn''te into office yesterday but I didn''t believe it. Now that I''ve seen you, I believe it!" Harley said. Amos remained calm and collected. "Why?" "Because you''re in such a good mood today, so full of energy. I assume you had a great time yesterday?" Harley said suggestively. "Shut up!" Amos wasn''t in the mood to deal with him. "What do you want from me?" "Oh, nothing much. Remember when you got beaten up? Turns out it was the old man''s little brother''s work." Old Master Granger had a younger brother, Amos'' Second Uncle. He had always coveted Amos'' power. Amos was not surprised at all, he had already guessed it long time ago. "What are you going to do?" Harley asked. "What else can we do? The old fox will definitely not leave any trace behind. However, as time goes by, he would definitely let the cat out of the bag." Amos said. As he spoke, Clint Zuckerberg pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Granger, Old Master Granger asked you to go back for dinner tonight!" Harley raised his eyebrows. "Dinner? It seems that your uncle hase up with another trick! What''s his purpose?" Clint agreed. "And I heard that Miss Cooper is back." Harley was thrilled. "Samantha Cooper? Your second uncle''s adopted daughter who likes you? She has no regard for rank! He actually asked you to go back the moment she''s back. I guess there will be a good show tonight." Amos frowned. "Don''t you have anything else to do?" Harley rolled his eyes. "You are angry when I care about you. How ungrateful." he teased. Clint was speechless and thought. "Have you considered my feelings?" After Harley left. Clint thought about it and decided it was dangerous to let his boss go back by himself. "Why don''t I apany you tonight?" "Okay!" He thought about it for a while and called Eudora. Eudora George was still wondering what to cook when her thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. She just cooked some noodles and went upstairs to read a book. She was going to start work soon. If they were going to interview her, it would be best to be prepared. By the time she finished her book, it was already dark outside. Eudora heard the sound of the car engine revving into the house and made her way downstairs. Amos leaned on Clint as he carried him in, with a nervous look on his face. "Miss George..." Eudora hurried over and saw that Amos'' face was flushed and his neck and face were covered with red rashes. "What''s wrong?" Eudora helped himy Amos on the sofa. Only then did he exin, "The medication has run out. I''ll go to Mr. Louis immediately. Please take care of President Granger first." He took two steps then turned back and said, "If President Granger starts smashing things, you should get as far away as possible and be careful not to get hurt." Eudora did not understand what he meant at all. Why would Amos smash anything? Chapter 33 Chapter 33 She didn''t know what to do, but when she saw that Amos was about to scratch his rashes, she held his hands. "Don''t, you will leave scars," Eudora said. She turned around and fetched a basin of warm water. She wrung the towel which she used to clean him up, only to find that his body was also full of rashes. The rashes was densely packed and very scary. Eudora frowned. "Were you stung by a bee?" Amos'' eyes darkened. When he thought about how Samantha Cooper got the drop on him, he was furious. She was akin to a dangerous bee. "Don''t be angry!" Eudora quickly soothed. "Don''t be angry or impatient. Otherwise, your rashes will worsen," she warned. "It''s so itchy!" Amos frowned. He always maintained a stoic demeanor, never showing any weakness. Suddenly he was acting like a cute child, which Eudora found funny. "Even so, you can''t scratch them!" Eudora reprimanded. Putting down the towel, Eudora pointed to the ce where he had just said was itchy. She took some ice cubes and carefully put her finger on it. It was not until her finger became cold that she slowly pressed it gently on the ce where he felt itchy. Amos couldn''t help squinting his eyes. The coldness of her fingers seemed to prate into his heart from his skin, as if he had eaten ice cream in summer. Amos pointed to another spot. "And here." "Okay!" Eudora said in a coaxing tone. After a while, Amos fell quiet. However, his face was still very pale and he was still angry. Eudora''s didn''t stop. As she pressed her fingers on his body, she thought of a joke from her childhood and told it to Amos. Amos was still expressionless. Eudora grew frustrated. She reached out and scratched his neck. "Can''t you justugh?" "It''s not funny!" he insisted, though there was a ghost of a smile when he turned away. When Harley Louis heard what happened, he hurried over with Clint Zuckerberg. Last time, Amos had almost overturned the house when he was a littlete. He did not expect what greeted him when he arrived. The room was clean and bright. Amos was lying on the sofa and Eudora was gently massaging him. Was Amos smiling? Harley was shocked. Rubbing his eyes, he turned around and whispered to Clint, "Punch me." Clint also couldn''t believe his eyes, so he punched Harley without hesitation. The next second, both of them were grimacing in pain. "It''s not a dream!" So it was true! In all these years, this was the first time Amos hadn''t flew into a rage over a rash outbreak. He was evenughing! Their antics caught Eudora''s attention. She quickly stopped massaging and got up. "You''re here? Have you brought the medicine?" Harley came to his senses and hurriedly handed over the medicine. "I just went to the doctor a few days ago. Give it to him..." He stopped mid-sentence. "What?" Eudora asked. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "But I don''t think he needs it anymore," Harley said. "He''s already recovered!" "Recovered?" Eudora couldn''t believe it. She clearly saw the red rashes on his body before, but how did it suddenly heal? And yet, there was not a spot on Amos now. She was distracted then. When did it get better? Amos was also astounded. He was busy listening to their jokes, so he hadn''t noticed that he had already recovered. "That''s amazing! Sister-inw, you are my brother''s lucky star!" Harley said. "What did you call me?" Eudora asked. "Sister- in-w!" Harley was convinced that anyone who could deal with Amos was an absolute master. "Maybe it''s just a coincidence?" Eudora didn''t believe that she had anything to do with it, she was no doctor. "It''s possible, but anyway, it''s a good start," Harley said. Clint was also very excited. "Yes, Madam, we will rest assured now that President Granger is in your hands!" After that, he left with Harley. Eudora was speechless. "Sister-inw? Madam?" When they were left alone, Eudora smiled awkwardly at Amos. "They were joking, don''t be angry." "Why should I be angry? It''s very pleasant, isn''t it?" Amos said. Eudora,"???" She decided that Amos was only in a good mood because he recovered and changed the subject. "Do you still want to eat? I''ll cook for you!" "I want to eat you," Amos said. Eudora ran away."... I wouldn''t have helped you with the rashes if I had known this earlier!!!" "It''s toote now!" The next day, Eudora slept until noon. As soon as she got up, she received a call for a job interview. It turned out the Gellert family was the first to call her for an interview in the afternoon. Eudora quickly washed up and changed her clothes. She had no time to eat, she rushed to the Gellert family. Under the management of the Gellert family, Everpeace Group had regained its vitality in less than half a month. Its sess was apparent the moment Eudora walked in. In the interview room. After a brief theory interview, the interviewer nodded with satisfaction. Eudora had easily made a good impression. In thest round, an interviewer who sat in the middle asked her a question. "Miss George, why do you want to work at Everpeace?" This question... Eudora couldn''t think of a better answer, so she answered truthfully, "I believe that Everpeace can give me a new life." "You are epted!" the man smiled gently. Eudora''s eyes shed. Why did this man seem so familiar? However, the next second, her thoughts turned to her admission. She was epted. She could work in Everpeace now! After collecting her thoughts, she stood up and shook hands with several interviewers. "Thank you." After asking the work time, she said goodbye and turned to leave. After taking two steps, someone stopped her. "Eudora!" Eudora was startled. When she looked back, she saw the interviewer with the gentle smile. She thought that he had something to exin, so she stopped and looked at him seriously. Unexpectedly, the man burst intoughter. "Miss George, have you forgotten me in just a few days?" he asked. Eudora was even more confused. "You are..." "The revolving restaurant," the man prodded. "Oh!" Eudora remembered now. A few days ago, at the revolving restaurant with Amos Granger. This was the man she bumped into when she came out of the bathroom. She immediately gave him an embarrassed smile. "Hello, sorry, I didn''t recognize you." Chapter 34 Chapter 34 "Oh, that''s what you said!" the manughed. "If you really feel sorry, it''s still not toote, you can treat me to dinner." Eudora George said apologetically, "Sorry, I''m afraid I don''t have time tonight." It was quitete, and Eudora had to go back to prepare dinner for Amos Granger. This was her job and duty as his lover. "It''s okay!" the man replied nicely. "When you work at thepany, we will have plenty of opportunities." "Thank you!" Eudora said sincerely. Just as he was about to leave, the man added, "My name is Christopher Gellert. Don''t forget it." Eudora nodded vigorously. In the evening, Eudora prepared a candlelight dinner. When Amos came back, he saw the little woman sitting in the dim candlelight, her eyes shining. He walked over and kissed her on the top of her head. Only then did Amos ask, "Did something good happen?" "Yes!" Eudora nodded with a smile. "I''ve found a job." "Is it about Gellert family''s Everpeace?" Amos asked tly, maintaining his posture. Eudora nodded quickly, and she couldn''t help feeling happy in her heart. "I used to work there, this time I''m still in the same position. I''m sure I can do it..." Sure enough! Although Amos had already known the little fox intended to escape, it was still ufortable to hear her say so outright. Amos frowned and said coldly, "You''re not allowed to go." Eudora''s happy expression froze. "Why?" "There''s no reason. I''m telling you not to go," Amos said. The disappointment in her eyes was apparent, so Amos added, "Clint has already arranged for you to All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. be my assistant. You can go to work tomorrow." His assistant? Eudora finally realized that he had been humoring her. He treated her like a little pet and teased her. Amos had never thought her worthy of freedom and respect. Therefore, he had only given her an assistant job so that she could work with him 24 hours a day. In the end, she was still losing herself, just like when she was in Meyer family. "I won''t go!" Eudora stated firmly. This was the first time she had spoken to Amos in such a tone. "Be good, don''t lose your temper!" Amos reached out to touch her hair but Eudora pushed him away. "I don''t have a temper. I''m just expressing my opinion. I want to work for myself, not be your assistant." "Is there any difference?" Amos frowned. He gave her a job just as she wanted. "Of course there''s a difference!" Eudora''s chest heaved violently. "I want to realize my self-worth, not be a pet following you around forever!" Amos'' eyes darkened. "Isn''t your self-worth attained by staying by my side and performing your responsibilities? What''s wrong? Have you forgotten that in just a few days?" Hearing this, Eudora''s heart sank. After a long time, she finally gave a wry smile. "Yes, so I''m just a pet that always stays by your side? I forgot! I''m sorry." Eudora bowed to Amos stiffly and sat back at the table. "Mr. Granger, let''s have dinner!" Amos frowned. "Mr. Granger", how very harsh. He pulled his cor and said, "I don''t want to eat anymore!" He went straight upstairs. As soon as he mmed the door, he heard a suppressed sob from the living room. He frowned, he knew he had been too harsh on her and regretted it. It was an emotion that he hated very much. In his 20 plus years of life, he had never felt regret. But now, when he was caught off guard, it appeared. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, but only grew more annoyed. He put out the cigarette butt and returned downstairs. Eudora was still sitting where he left her. Amos walked over and pulled her up. Before she could react, he lowered his head and blocked her lips. He stopped all of her sobbing. Maybe it was because of his words just now, but Eudora did not even resist. She just stood there and let him do whatever he wanted. Looking at the little woman''s doll- like expression, Amos felt a stab in his heart. He rxed his grip and gently kissed the tears on her cheeks. Finally, he held her in his arms. He pressed her ears close to his chest. "I''m sorry." The words resonated right out of him. Eudora burst into tears at his apology. She pounded him on the chest a few times. "Bastard, big bad guy, demon!" Amos was not angry. He let her curse. Finally, he watched her lie on his chest and shed tears and snot into his clothes. When the little woman finally calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Stupid woman," Amos said. "You''re the stupid one!" Eudora retorted. Amos couldn''t help but smile at that. "Do you really think so? Then you''d better not work for the Gellert family!" "Whatever, I''m not going!" Eudora said moodily. Then she perked up. "What did you say? The Gellert family?" Eudora asked. "Didn''t you say you didn''t want to?" Amos said. "I''m going!" Eudora became anxious. However, Amos'' face was cold and he turned away. In a hurry, Eudora rushed up and hugged his waist. "Don''t go, Amos! I promise that I wille back in time every day. Although I''ll have to work, nothing will change, it''ll be just like before!" Amos narrowed his eyes. "You won''t call me Mr. Granger anymore?" Eudora shook her head hurriedly, and her soft lips moved back and forth on his back. Amos'' whole body froze, and he turned around and pressed her onto the sofa. After a passionate night, Eudora got up early the next day. When Amos went downstairs, she was already humming a song to make breakfast. "I asked Clint, he said that you like to eat these. I have cooked a lot. After you eat it, you can just put the dishes there. Wait for me toe back and wash them." After that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave. Today, she was radiant in her work dress, which entuated her beautiful figure and attracted a lot of attention. After she finished speaking, she didn''t even look at him and was ready to leave. He furrowed his brows. "Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Eudora turned around and saw the man pointing at her lips. She turned back and kissed him on the lips. The next second, the man''s big hand held her and deepened the kiss. "Oh, my makeup!" Eudora pouted and red at him. She hurriedly took out her makeup mirror to fix her makeup before she turned around and ran out. She was in a hurry, but fortunately, she was notte. Eudora used to be in sales, so this time she applied for a position in sales department. Christopher Gellert, coincidentally, was her immediate superior. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Eudora George settled into her new job. While Eudora had experience in sales from her time at Phantom Group, she actually majored in interior design. Back then, she had chosen said major because she liked it. It was her dream to turn a simple room into a home. Later, when she worked at Everpeace, she established a design department and made great progress there. However, it soon disbanded without a professional leader. In fact, Eudora was very grateful that she was able to work in the same sector. However, since she was a new employee, she had to familiarize herself with a lot of information and materials. Eudora''s workload was growing by the second. When she got back in the evening, she quickly made dinner and went upstairs to read work cases. When Amos Granger got back, he could smell the aroma of food wafting from the living room, but the little woman was gone. He went upstairs and found her. "I''m really busy now. Sorry, I''m sorry, can you eat alone?" Eudora pleaded. Amos unhappily pped her on the ass. "You are so brave now. How dare you order me?" "I didn''t mean it! I''ll go down and eat with you now. I will continue reading after we finish eating," Eudora pleaded. However, seeing that she was not in the mood at all, Amos decided to eat alone anyway. He used to eat alone, and he didn''t think much of it back then. However, now he had used to eating with Eudora. Looking at the beautiful little woman amplified his appetite. But now he was alone. After eating two bites, Amos lost his appetite. After throwing down the fork, he went to his study. The little woman was still sitting there reading a book. Amos was dissatisfied. She was supposed to be taking a shower. "Eudora, it''s time for you to sleep!" Eudora was still reading a case, and she couldn''t figure it out. "I can''t understand this!" sheined. Amos stretched out his head to have a look, then immediately knocked her on the head. "Stupid! This is..." There was no doubt about Amos'' ability. Eudora immediately understood his exnation. She couldn''t help but reach out and kiss him on the face. "Thank you." Amos was not happy. "That''s it?" Usually, the little woman would have coaxed him, but today, she just looked at him apologetically. "I haven''t finished my case yet. I am a neer. I''m already at the bottom. It wouldn''t be good if I drag my team behind. So, I can''t apany you tonight." "Say it again?" Amos prodded. "I''m really sorry." Eudora pursed her lips and suddenly remembered a little HelloKitty doll she bought when she went shopping. She quickly took it out and put it in Amos'' hand. "I like Hello Kitty the most. With her as mypany, you can go to bed early!" Eudora said. Amos looked awkwardly at the pink little thing in his hand and wanted to throw it away. But when he saw the smile on the little woman''s face, he sighed and tossed the doll at the head of the bed. Forget it, it was rare for the little woman to be so happy. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the bed, looking for a book to read. The cozy and in night was exceptionally moving. In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. The little woman was not idle, but got busier and busier. When Harley Louis entered the office, he saw Amos Granger''s gloomy face and couldn''t help teasing him. "What''s wrong? Are you dissatisfed? Did sister-inw reject you?" Amos gave him a sinister look, and Harley immediately said, "Just forget it." After a moment, he said, "Sister- in-w has just started work. You have to learn to get used to it. You still have a long way to go!" Amos looked at him impatiently. "What''s the matter?" "Oh! Of course there''s something going on!" Harley said. "Franco Horace has been sentenced to thirty years. Also, the Meyer family''s Phantom Group has been closed down and acquired. ording to your instructions, Felix Meyer will also be in prison for ten years." "Okay!" Amos took a drag on his cigarette. "Who bought the Phantom Group?" "The Gellert family!" Harley said. Amos frowned. "The Gellert family again!" Harleyughed and said, "Do you have a big problem with the Gellert family now?" "Get out!" Amos sneered. Harley didn''t dare tease him again, so he turned around and left. Clint Zuckerberg came in and asked, "President Granger, what do you want to eat for lunch?" "You can arrange it!" Amos said. Then he gave it a second thought and stopped Clint. "Forget it. I want to head out." After many days of hard work, Eudora George finally began to understand the business. Another morning passed while she was busy working at her desk. Someone knocked on the table gently. Eudora raised her head and looked at the man''s smiling face. Eudora jumped to her feet. "President Gellert!" Christopher Gellert looked hurt and said, "I thought we were friends when we got off work. Did you forget that you still owe me a meal?" Eudora was really embarrassed to refuse him again, so she nodded and said, "You should choose a ce!" "Okay!" Christopher smiled and said, "There is a new French restaurant nearby. I haven''t tried it yet." When they got downstairs, Christopher said, "I''ll drive." Eudora didn''t have a car, so she stood at the door and waited. The weather was good today. Although it was hot, there was a hopeful feeling in the air. Eudora smiled and looked at the sky. Christopher opened the car door and came over. He blocked the sunlight with his body. "It''s too hot now." "The weather is great!" Eudora said with a smile. As soon as Amos got out of the car, he saw them standing together. They were talking face to face. The sun shone on her face, making her face looked radiant. Was it because of this man that she wanted to work for the Gellert family? Amos frowned coldly. He pushed open the door and got out of the car. Christopher had already turned around and opened the car door for Eudora. "Beautiful girl, no matter how much you like the weather, you can''t stay under the sun for too long." His action felt weird to Eudora. She was thinking about how to refuse and didn''t see Amos approaching them. A pair of big hands suddenly stretched out over the top of Christopher''s car door. Eudora was startled. Her heart tightened, and she stared nkly at the person. Amos? Why was he here? However, Amos had already opened his mouth, and his voice seemed to be mixed with ice. "What? When did the eldest son of the Gellert family be a driver?" Eudora was shocked. On the one hand, Amos'' face was scary. On the other hand, she did not know Christopher was the first young master of the Gellert family. It was said that the acquisition of Everpeace was his idea. However, wasn''t he just a manager in the Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. sales department? Christopher recovered quickly and put on a gentle smile. "President Granger, fancy seeing you here. Why do you suddenly have time to visit Everpeace?" "I haven''t said it yet. Why is the First Young Master of the Gellert Family taking a small-time staff to lunch?" Christopher was not stupid. He looked at the two of them up and down. "What is the rtionship between you two?" Christopher asked. "Eudora is mine!" Amos said. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Hearing this, Christopher Gellert was taken aback, but he maintained the smile on his face. "Even so, President Granger, you are too sensitive! It''s just a meal between friends..." Amos Granger sneered and ignored Christopher. "Eudora, I didn''t know when you started making friends like Mr. Gellert. If you had looked for him at the beginning, you would not be in this situation now!" Amos said. Eudora frowned ufortably. But she continued to exin, "I identally bumped into Mr. Gellert "A treat? Are you so free? Have you done all your duties?" Amos asked. The more he talked, the more unpleasant his words became. Eudora knew that he was implying that she had ignored him the past few days. She knew that she was just a lover and had tried her best to perform her duties. However, she did not expect that he would embarrass her in public. Suddenly, she felt sad and said, "Sorry, it''s my fault. I won''t have lunch with him, okay?" Christopher was still gentle and said, "President Granger, it''s not nice of you to speak like this..." Amos didn''t care. "Mr. Gellert, you''d better take care of your own family affairs!" After that, he turned around and headed off in the opposite direction. Christopher frowned as he watched the two of them walk away. They had just gotten in the car when Harley Louis called them. "Boss,e out and y," Harley said. Amos was silent. Usually, he didn''t like to take part in such activities. Harley said, "Ah, don''t say that I''m not loyal to my friends. I saw that you were in a bad mood today, so I invited you. If you don''t want toe, then just forget it!" "Where is it?" Amos asked. "Wow!" Harley was excited. "Did you really have a quarrel with sister-inw?" "I won''t go if you don''t tell me now," Amos said. "Okay, I''ll tell you. I''m waiting for you at Nightlife Club!" Harley said. Amos hung up the phone, furrowed his eyebrows and started the car. He headed towards the club. When Eudora George returned to the office, she picked up the case again. However, she still couldn''t understand it. Amos'' words lingered in her mind, upsetting her. Christopher Gellert came over and put a cup of coffee on her table. "Sorry for what happened just now..." Christopher said. "No, I''m the one who should be sorry," Eudora said in a low voice. At that moment, her colleagues returned, and everyone got to work. Eudora picked up the document on the table and said, "President Gellert, I''m going to start my work now." Christopher nodded and turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back. "The rules of the Granger family are very strict. Be careful." Eudora paused for a long time, then she let out a bitterugh. She and Amos just made a deal and would never see each other''s parents. Where did the family rules Even so, Eudora still left work on time. No matter what, as long as she was still with Amos, she will honor their deal. At this time, there were a lot of people in the bus. After Eudora squeezed in, she stood in the middle. She was thinking about what to do when she went back. Someone behind her suddenly shouted, "Catch the thief!" Eudora was startled as a person ran from behind her and hit her arm. Eudora heard a crack from her arm and she squatted on the ground, feeling painful. Other people in the bus worked together to catch the thief. The bus captain came over and asked her, "Miss, are you okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?" Eudora shook her head, she was almostte. "No, you don''t have to. Just stop at the market in front." The bus captain did as she asked. She endured the pain and bought the food. At some point, her arm stopped hurting. Eudora gritted her teeth and looked at her bruised arm. The ce where she was knocked had begun to swell. But the pedestrian green light was on. She didn''t have time to think about it and crossed the road. As soon as she was at the middle of the road, her arms could no longer support the groceries and she dropped them. Just as Eudora was about to pick them up, a car passed by with a whoosh. Everything had been crushed into a pile of mush. Staring at what remained of her groceries, Eudora broke down. She squatted on the ground and hugged herself. She just wanted to start over. Why wouldn''t God allow her any hope? At the Nightlife Club, Amos Granger was slumped on a sofa. He had kept a straight face since entering. Harley Louis came over with a beautiful woman in his arms. "Boss, you can''t do that, can you? I invited you here to have fun. Why are you drinking?" Amos said nothing and just red at him coldly. Harley let go of the beautiful woman and asked, "Did you guys really quarrel?" "Oh..." Amos sneered. "It''s just a woman!" Harley curled his lips. "Tsk, tsk!" "That''s right. She''s just a woman. It''s not a big deal! There are so many beauties here. You can pick whoever you want. Can your illness only be cured by sister-inw?" Harley called a woman over. The woman''s long hair was straight. She looked timid, but her looks were far beyond that of that Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. heartless little fox! Harley grabbed her arm. "You know about our President Granger right? Serve him well!" Then he pushed her in the direction of Amos. Amos frowned when he smelled a strong fragrance. When the woman approached him, he got up. Harley was stunned. "Where are you going?" "Home!" Amos said. Amos rushed back to Clearwater Bay. Amos pushed the door open and found that there was no one in the room. Amos'' eyes darkened. Was this woman that bold? How dare she refuse toe back home! Good, very good. So what if she never came back! Amos went out and mmed the door. That was when his cell phone rang. Amos nced at it and found that it was from Eudora. His mood finally improved a little, and he picked it up. It turned out to be a stranger''s voice. "Hello, are you Miss George''s family? She''s injured and in our hospital..." Amos'' face darkened. "Which hospital?" The stranger gave the address quickly, and Amos rushed to the hospital. In the clinic hall, Eudora George was sitting on a chair, staring nkly at the IV bottle, watching its contents fall drop by drop. The cold liquid flowed from her veins to her heart. Suddenly, a shadow covered her head. Before she could see clearly, he wrapped her in a warm embrace. "Where did you get hurt?" Amos asked. Eudora lowered her head in a daze. For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Amos frowned and asked, "Can''t you speak? Hmm?" "I''m fine!" She sniffed. "I''m sorry. All the groceries have been crushed, and I couldn''t do my duty tonight." She still tried to act tough! But it made people sympathize with her. Looking at her injured arm, Amos sighed helplessly. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Neither of them spoke on the way home. After they got back, Amos Granger went straight upstairs. When Eudora George passed by his study, she heard Amos talking about Everpeace. She panicked and pushed the door open. "Mr. Granger, I won''t resign," she cried. Amos was startled. He turned back to the phone and said, "Go and do it!" Then he hung up. Just as he was about to ask her why, she pounced on him without hesitation and hugged his waist from behind. "Mr. Granger, I was wrong. I know that I shouldn''t be angry, and I have no right to ask for anything. However, this job is my only hope, and you can''t let me leave Everpeace." Amos frowned. "Do you really want to stay in Everpeace?" "Yes!" Eudora nodded. "I will be separated from you one day. I can''t put myself in another precarious situation like when I was with the Meyer family. Because when you leave, I will have nothing left." Amos was silent. He didn''t realise that Eudora would think so much. She was the one who set the duration of the deal, but he didn''t say anything, did he? When he failed to answer, Eudora added, "Also, Everpeace was left behind by my mother. I promised my mother that when I grew up, I would look after Everpeace." Amos frowned. He could not understand that kind of feeling. He lost his mother when he was just a child. His life had always been a roller coaster ride. However, if herst visit to her mother''s grave was any indication, Eudora cared deeply about her mother. "I see. I was just asking Clint to ask for a sick leave for you," Amos told her. Eudora was at a lost. So he wasn''t about to ask her to resign. She had said too much. Realizing that she was still holding Amos tightly, Eudora quickly let go of him. n | ii However, before she could pull away, Amos pulled her into his arms. "Are you still angry now?" Amos asked. Eudora shook her head and leaned on him docilely. Her delicate body made Amos'' heart flutter. He took her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn''t the doctor say that your arm shouldn''t touch water for the time being?" "Yes!" Eudora nodded. "Let''s go. I''ll help you take a bath," Amos said. Eudora refused. "I can do it myself." Amos insisted and Eudora finally gave in. This was their first time bathing together. Eudora was shy. Seeing her cover herself up, Amos couldn''t help butugh out loud. "What part of you have I not seen before?" Eudora finally consented after thinking about it. Amos carried her into the bathtub. Soon, he took off his clothes and got into the bathtub as well. She leaned against him. Eudora felt nervous, especially when Amos'' hand touched her. She closed her eyes nervously. However, nothing else happened. Amos really did help her take a bath. Only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief and rxed. It had been a long day. Eudora was very tired. She grewfortable and fell asleep. Amos couldn''t help wondering if his charm had begun to decline. But seeing that she was so tired that her eyebrows were knitted together, Amos sighed and carried her back to the room. Eudora heard the sound of the hairdryer whirring. The warm airflow traveled from her hair and warmed her cold heart. The next day, at Valiant East Group. Harley Louis stared at Amos Granger in shock. "You want to buy Everpeace?" Amos remained stoic. "Yes!" No one could tell his emotions. Harley frowned and asked him tentatively. "Could it be because of Eudora George?" Amos chuckled. "What if I said that it''s not?" Harley stood up and rolled his eyes. "Do you think I would believe you?". He sat back down. "You''re crazy!" Amos didn''t take it seriously. "I''m telling the truth. This decision would be beneficial to us. Everpeace''s business is the same as ours. Especially before they closed down, their development and growth has always been one of the best in the industry. If we buy it and make good use of it, what''s wrong with that?" "You''re still crazy!" Harley said. "You''re right, but we can''t buy it right now. Your Second Uncle has been watching you. If I''m not mistaken, your cousin has always wanted to enter Valiant East. If you buy Everpeace now, no matter how it turns out, it will be a weakness of yours that they can exploit! Will your grandfather be happy?" "Am I afraid of them?" Amos'' face was full of disdain. "Didn''t they want to fight with me? I want to face them head-on." Harley said with a scared expression, "Love is scary!" Amos red at him. "Get out of here if you have nothing better to say!" Harley gave him a helpless look, then turned around and left. Clint Zuckerberg closed the door and said, "Mr. Louis is right. It''s too risky for you. Christopher Gellert, who just bought Everpeace, wanted to improve the status of his family with it. Why would he give up?" "Christopher Gellert!" Amosughed. "He will give up." Seeing that Amos had made up his mind, Clint nodded and said, "Then I''ll ask them toe up with a n immediately." "Contact the car dealer first. I want to buy a car," Amos said. When Eudora woke up, it was almost noon.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. She hurriedly got up and remembered what Amos saidst night. He asked Clint to apply for a leave on her behalf. When she rxed, she found that she was wearing pajamas, and everything in the room was very quiet. Thinking of what happenedst night, Eudora was a little confused. Did Amos help her into her pyjamas? Someone knocked on the door. She got up and walked over to see a middle-aged woman standing respectfully at the door. "Miss George, are you awake? The food is ready." Eudora frowned. "Who are you?" "Mr. Granger hired me. I''m Valerie Bertinelli. You can call me Aunt Valerie. Mr. Granger said that you should leave the chores to me in the future..." For a moment, Eudora was startled. After a long time, she said, "Got it." Eudora had mixed feelings, and she didn''t understand why she was a little disappointed. She went back to her room and sat for a while. Then, she took out her case to have a look. While she was reading the case, her cell phone rang. It was Amos. "Are you awake?" "Yes!" Eudora said. "Then I''ll go back and pick you up," Amos replied. "What are you doing?" Eudora asked. "You''ll knowter!" Amos hung up. Eudora got up and changed her clothes. She was ready when Amos came back. When she got in the car, Amos asked, "Is the servant''s cooking okay?" Eudora licked her lips, and she really wanted to say, "I can do it myself." In the end she said, "It''s good." "As long as you like it!" Amos said. "In the future, you can get off workte and not have to rush back to cook." "Alright!" Eudora nodded. While they were talking, Amos'' car stopped. He opened her car door and helped her out of the car. "It''s a car dealer!" Eudora was shocked. "You want to buy a car?" Amos shook his head. "You are buying a car!" Chapter 38 Chapter 38 As soon as Eudora George and Amos Granger entered, they saw a big red car parked in the middle of the car dealer shop. The car agent came up to him in a hurry and tried his best to serve them. "Mr. Granger, take a look at this car," the man said. Amos Granger remained silent and turned to look at Eudora. "Do you like it? You were wearing a red dress the first time I saw you. You were very beautiful." Eudora recalled that absurd night. "Red dress?" Seeing her confused face, Amos suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in her ear. "I''m wrong. I meant the first time I saw you wearing clothes..." Amos said. Eudora''s ears turned red. "You rascal!" she whispered softly. Watching her cheeks turn red, Amos'' throat tightened. However, they were in public, so he continued to ask, "You haven''t said if you like the car or not!" "I don''t like it! It''s too conspicuous," Eudora said. In the past, Felix Meyer always hoped she would be like this car, always attracting everyone''s attention. However, he never asked her whether she liked it or not. She didn''t like it, she never liked being the center of attention ever since she was a child. "Then forget it, let''s look at the other cars!" Amos waved his hand and asked the agent to drive the car away. "Why did you want to buy me a car?" Eudora suddenly asked. Amos was in a good mood. "Well, because I want to. Why can''t I buy a car for my woman?" "No..." Eudora frowned. "I just don''t want you to spend so much money." After all, they would be separated one day. "It doesn''t matter!" Amos said. In the end, Eudora only chose a small but beautiful white polo which was very suitable for her. The agent looked disappointed, but he didn''t dare to speak because of Amos. When they finished the procedures, Amos answered a phone call and went out. The agent took the opportunity to say, "Miss, people like Mr. Granger are extremely rich. Why don''t you want that red sports car?" Eudora said with a faint smile, "It doesn''t suit me." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The agent said nothing more. "Then may I have your identification card please and I''ll help you get it this sorted immediately." "There''s no need. Mr. Granger must be a frequent visitor here. You can use his," Eudora said. This time, the agent was even more dumbfounded. He had seen countless rich men bring women to buy cars. This was the first time that a woman was unwilling to get a car. Eudora didn''t want to say anything more. After that, she went out and waited. When Amos came back from the phone call, he found that Eudora had left. When he heard that she didn''t even want a car, he chuckled. This little woman was still so stubborn! The agent said with a bitter face, "What about this car?" "Use my information!" Amos said. Because the new car still needed to be sent for maintenance, Eudora went back with Amos. On the way, Amos asked, "Do you have a driver''s license?" "Yes!" Eudora nodded. Amos couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. "Have you driven on the road before?" "No!" Eudora pursed her lips. She had taken the exam three years ago. After she married Felix, she never drove again. Amos frowned and said, "Come on, I''ll teach you." Eudora was stunned. "No, no, I''ll go back and try it myself..." "Come on." He was very persistent, and soon they were on the road. She was afraid that she would cause an ident, so she finallypromised. The two of them found a ce where they could stop the car and change seats. Eudora started the car. She was nervous. The fact that this car was extremely expensive didn''t help at all. Amos kept staring at her. She became even more nervous. She swerved off course three times in 100 meters. Amos furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Don''t be nervous..." Eudora shook her head repeatedly. "Forget it. I''ll practice it when I get the Polo! This car is too expensive!" She said it seriously, with a distressed look on her face. Amos was amused andughed. "You don''t dare to drive because it''s too expensive?" "Isn''t it expensive? If the car is scratched, it will cost at least ten thousands dors to repair," Eudora said. "So what? Do I look like I don''t have money?" Amos asked. "You can''t waste your money!" Eudora didn''t think it was necessary. The little woman was such a miser, it was adorable. Amos smiled and said, "It doesn''t matter. I''m willing to spend it on you. If you don''t drive this car back today, I''ll get someone to smash it tomorrow!" "Are you crazy?" Eudora cried. She was shocked again, why did she talk to Amos like that? However, Amos did not care at all. If anything else, he was happier. "What''s the point of a car that can''t take my woman home?" Eudora was astounded, and her heart raced. She gawked at Amos'' sexy side face, as if she had Amos seemed to notice that she was looking at him. He smiled and said, "You can look at it all you want at night!" Eudora blushed and she hurriedly lowered her head. She started the car again, and this time she was in a much more stable state of mind. Perhaps she was afraid that Amos would smash the car? He was certainly capable of that kind of thing. With no burden in her heart, Eudora''s driving skills improved drastically. When they got home safely, she hugged Amos happily and said, "I can drive now." She was delighted and smiled brightly, totally different from her forced smiles in the past. Amos smiled and said, "Well, I should thank this car very much." Thanks to this car, the little woman took the initiative to give him a hug for the first time. He decided to send the car for high quality maintenance tomorrow. The next day, Eudora went to work. Her wound looked horrible but it didn''t affect her work much. When she arrived at the entrance, she saw Christopher Gellert. Eudora politely greeted him. Christopher nced at her bandaged arm. "Are you feeling better?" "Oh, I''m much better," Eudora said. "That''s good!" Christopher nodded. "You didn''t attend the meeting yesterday. There''s a big project in our department, and we need toe up with a design. Although you''re new here, you''re still a member of our department. This is the material. We''ll have a meeting two days from now ande up with the final n." Eudora was overjoyed. "Thank you, President Gellert." "Do it well," Christopher said with a smile. Back to the seat, Eudora carefully looked at the material and found that it was indeed a big project. The interior design and decoration of a whole luxury district were of great responsibility. This was an opportunity, and she wanted to make the best of it. After reading through the information, she immediately immersed herself in designing. However, she was still not satisfied after a busy day. She was frustrated. She was a little unfamiliar with the intricacies of the interior designs, probably because she was a little out of touch after so many years. While she was in a dilemma, the phone rang. It was Amos'' voice at the other end. "Come downstairs." It was only then that Eudora realized that she was off work. She hurriedly packed up her things and walked out of the door. The white Polo was parked at the gate. However, at this time, Eudora had no mood to see the car. She frowned and looked at Amos. "Do you know anywhere that sells materials about interior design? Can you take me there?" Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Amos Granger gave in to her. "Get in the car!" Eudora George was overjoyed. She got in the car and kissed Amos on the cheek. Instantly embarrassed, Eudora hurriedly lowered her head. Amos took her to arge bookstore. Eudora knew what she wanted, so she got the book and paid the bill. Eudora was as thrilled as a teenage girl. Amos was crestfallen. Who would have known that he would lose to a few books? Even more annoying was that the little woman did not notice his mood at all. He flicked his hand on Eudora''s forehead and she turned around suspiciously. With that innocent smile on her face, she looked like an angel. Amos felt his stomach tighten and thought, "This woman..." Neither of them knew that behind them, a pair of eyes watched them with hatred. Just when they were leaving, Amos'' cell phone suddenly rang. It should be business. He excused himself. Eudora stood where she was, waiting for him. Suddenly, a person behind her rushed over and pped Eudora without hesitation. "B*tch, who do you think you are?" the woman screamed. Eudora was stunned and red at her angrily. "Did you mistake me for someone else?" "It''s you I want to hit!" The woman tried to hit her again, but Eudora grabbed her hand and pushed her away. "Enough! I don''t know you. If you hit me again, I''ll call the police!" "Call the police! Let''s see if the police will save you, you shameless gold digger!" the woman sreeched. Eudora''s face turned pale. "Who are you?" Eudora didn''t know this woman at all, but she seemed to know her. "You dare ask me who I am?! I warn you, you better leave Amos as soon as possible, otherwise, I will not let you go!" the woman raged. So it was about Amos. Eudora sneered and said, "What''s wrong? You couldn''t get Amos, so you came to vent your anger on me? Why didn''t you try to keep Amos instead of scolding me now?" "I..." The woman was furious. "It''s all because you charmed him! You are so shameless to seduce him!" "I seduced him? Yes, what''s wrong with that? He just likes me to seduce him. If you have the ability, why don''t you seduce him then? But I''m afraid that it''s useless even if you seduce him. Otherwise, would we still be together?" Eudora was not a person to be trifled with. After hearing what she said, the woman was so furious that her whole body was shaking. "You..." The woman was at a loss for words, so she opted to p Eudora again. Before she could, Eudora pped her in the face! The p was cathartic. She had been in a bad mood for the past few days. The woman wanted to fight back, but the next second, her expression suddenly changed. "Amos..." the woman stuttered. Eudora frowned. When she looked back, she saw that Amos had returned. Thinking of what she had just said, Eudora blushed! She didn''t know if he heard it. The woman tried to jump into Amos'' arms, but he leaned to the side and dodged it. The woman threw herself into the air andnded against the wall, she fought to regain her footing. Eudora almostughed. "Amos!" the woman called out again. This time, Amos frowned. "Samantha, ording to the rules, you should call me second brother. Don''t let me hear you call me by my name from now on." Eudora thought, "Second brother? Amos has a younger sister?" "I don''t want to be your sister. Besides, I''m not the biological daughter of my parents," Samantha said. "Stop talking!" Amos scolded impatiently. Then he turned to Eudora and asked, "Are you okay?" When he saw the handprint on Eudora''s face, his face became gloomy. "Did you hit her?" Amos asked. Samantha was scared. She had always relied on the favor of the Granger family. She knew that Amos would not do anything to her, so she decided to continue her antics. "So what? She''s a shameless mistress. She deserves to be beaten!" Samantha said. Amos looked more angry. "Apologize!" "I won''t apologize!" Samantha looked offended. "Amos, you''ve changed. You weren''t like this before!" Samantha had fallen in love with Amos at first sight when she returned to the Granger family a few years ago, and her adopted parents had tacitly approved. She thought that she was special to him. Amos'' eyes were cold. "How was I before?" "You used to like me, of course. Otherwise, why didn''t you do anything to me when you dealt with those two audacious women?" Samantha said. So this was it. Amos'' angry voice lowered to a growl. "I didn''t deal with you because you are the adopted daughter of my second uncle, a member of the Granger family. But now it seems that I was too kind to you." Saying that, he reached out and stroked Eudora''s cheek. "Which hand did you hit her with?" Amos asked. Eudora suddenly thought of what Kesha George said to her before, about the man who had his leg broken because he identally kicked C. Her heart skipped a beat. "I already hit her just now." "You don''t need to plead for me!" Samantha didn''t appreciate it at all. She was still very rampant. Eudora didn''t say anything. She had seen too many people like this. Samantha had to suffer to learn a lesson. Amos narrowed his eyes. "Which hand?" Samantha raised her hand. "This one. Why?" "Charlie!" Amos called. A man suddenly appeared like a gust of wind. He was fast! Eudora was amazed, she didn''t know that Amos was apanied by bodyguards. "Do it!" Amos ordered. Samantha red at Eudora. "Amos, do you really want to do this to me for this woman?" "You asked for it!" Amos said. "Great! You don''t have to do it. I''ll do it myself!" Samantha raised her hand and gave herself a hard p. "Is that all right?" Amos didn''t say a word, Samantha pped herself a dozen more times. After all, she was a girl and cried in the end. Eudora said, "Amos, let''s go home? I''m tired!" The words "go home" sounded pleasant. Amos''s temper subsided. "Okay!" After turning around and opening the door, the two of them left without looking back. Charlie Feld disappeared into the night as quickly as he came. As they drove away, Eudora said in a low voice, "You shouldn''t treat Samantha like that for me." Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "You pity her?" Amos asked. In fact, this was not a decision made in the spur of the moment. Samantha had brought him troubles many times, and he would have taught her a lesson sooner orter. "Of course not. It''s just that we''ll separate sooner orter. They''re your family..." Hearing this, Amos frowned. "Will we separate? Didn''t you feel good when you said that you seeded in seducing me?" Eudora blushed. As expected, he had heard it. "Well... I said that because of the situation at that time," Eudora exined. "Oh!" Amos nodded. "But I was indeed seduced by you. What should I do now?" Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Eudora George could only rejoice that there was no lights on now, or her flushed face would be visible. "I... I''ll cook for you when we get back," Eudora offered. "I want to eat you more!" Amos Granger replied cheekily. "You rascal," Eudora huffed. He was always like this. People who didn''t know him thought he was a cold person. Truth was, he was just a yful rascal. "Okay, I''m a rascal!" Amosughed. "I don''t want to talk to you anymore." Eudora turned her head away. Her face felt hot, so she opened the window. It felt much better when the wind blew in. In the Granger Mansion. When Samantha Cooper entered, her face was red and her eyes welled with tears. Harry Granger and Kaylene Yoder were both shocked. "What''s wrong?" "Dad, Mom!" Samantha hugged them and cried. "It''s Amos. He brought a shameless woman. They bullied me." Kaylene''s facial expression darkened. "Amos again. Since he came back, he has been against us every day. Now, he has even started to fight with our daughter! You must tell this to your brother!" Harry continued to scheme, and a cunning look formed in his eyes. "He brought a woman with him? What kind of woman is she?" Harry asked. Samantha got even angrier. "She seduced Amos just because she''s beautiful." Hearing this, Kaylene and Harry looked at each other. Kaylene opened her mouth wide in surprise. "Didn''t you say that Amos can''t..." "Ahem!" Harry interrupted her with a light cough. Kaylene hurriedly shut her mouth and helped her daughter up. "How''s the rtionship between the woman you mentioned and Amos?" Harry asked. Hearing this, Samantha cried even more bitterly. "I''ve never seen Amos treat a woman so well! He even used his secret guards!" Samantha sobbed. "Then... did they have any physical contact?" Harry asked. "Of course they had physical contact! That woman said that she seduced Amos!" Samantha said. This time, Harry and Kaylene''s expressions changed. Kaylene took a deep breath and patted Samantha on the back. "This is Amos'' fault. Your father and I will definitely help you. It''ste now. Go upstairs and take a shower and have a rest," Kaylene said. Samantha nodded and went upstairs crying. When she left, Kaylene said, "Didn''t you say that Amos can''t touch women? Why is there a woman around him then?" Harry shook his head and said, "I don''t know, but if this woman can have physical contact with Amos, it will not be a good thing for us if she gives birth to a child. My eldest brother doesn''t think highly of us, otherwise, he wouldn''t have asked Amos toe back to take over after Hank''s death." Kaylene was shocked. "But Amos is not that easy to deal with!" Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Harry''s face was gloomy. "So what?" The next day, when Eudora George had just arrived at thepany, she heard her colleagues talking. "I heard that ourpany is going to be acquired!" "How is that possible? Wasn''t ourpany just bought over by our current employer?" "Yes, but I heard that Valiant East has already handed over the letter of intent!" "Valiant East? It''ll be great if we can be a member of Valiant East!" Everyone suddenly fell silent. Eudora looked back and saw Christopher Gellerting in with a straight face. When he noticed Eudora looking at him, he softened his expression and said, "It seems that everyone isn''t working. Don''t you all want a big case?" Christopher was usually nice to people. When everyone saw that he was not angry, they stirred up the courage to question him. "President Gellert, did ourpany really receive a letter of intent of acquisition from Valiant East?" "No!" Christopher shook his head. Upon hearing this, everyone had different reactions. Some were happy and some were disappointed. Only Eudora saw Christopher''s frown when he turned around. She hurried after him. In the corridor, she asked hesitantly. "President Gellert, is what you just said true?" Christopher was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly. "You have seen through me. We did receive the letter of intent from Valiant East, but I won''t agree. You should continue your work." Eudora nodded and went back to work. However, when she thought of Christopher''s expression, she felt guilty. Amos'' sudden desire to acquire Everpeace had to be because of her. However, didn''t he agree to let her work here? Why did he do such a thing? Could it be that she was thinking too much? She couldn''t control thepany''s future. Moreover, Amos was a mature businessman. He wouldn''t make silly mistakes just because of her. The only thing she could do well now was her job! Eudora shook her head and cleared her mind. She focused her attention at theputer monitor again. At the same time, in the general manager''s office of Valiant East Group, Harry Granger''s assistant had juste in. "General manager, the president just issued a notice. He said that he would hold an acquisition meeting at three o''clock in the conference room." "What?" Harry was startled. "Whichpany does he want to acquire?" "Everpeace of the Gellert family!" the assistant said. "I heard that the president has already asked Clint to give the letter of intent to the Gellert family." Harry was furious. "Then why are we having a meeting? Amos is getting more and more ridiculous. No, I must tell my brother!" As he said that, he was about to make the phone call, but the assistant said, "The chairman already knows." "What?" Harry was even angrier. "That senile old man! He lets the brat do whatever he wants." Sitting back in his chair, Harry remembered what happenedst night and said, "Go and find out where Amos lives now." The assistant left and came back quickly. "Clearwater Bay!" "Clearwater Bay?" Harry narrowed his eyes. "Send someone to keep an eye over there." When Eudora George got off work and got home, a car screeched to a halt in front of the gate of Clearwater Bay, blocking her path. Fortunately, Eudora was quick to react, so she didn''t bump into it. A man dressed in ck got out of the car and knocked on her car door. "Excuse me, are you Miss George? Our Master wants to see you." Eudora frowned. "I don''t know your master." "You will know when you''re there!" After saying that, the man held the window, opened the car door and invited Eudora out from her car into his. The car sped all the way and finally arrived at the Granger Mansion. Eudora had been there before, so she recognized it. "Could it be that the Granger family has found out about me?" Eudora didn''t know what to feel. She didn''t know how the Granger family was going to deal with her. Perhaps, this time, she might have a chance to leave Amos. But... It''s not even a year yet... Eudora was shocked to realize that she had thought of this. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 When Amos Granger got home, he found Valerie Bertinelli waiting for him. "Sir, something''s wrong. Miss George is missing!" Valerie cried. Amos'' eyes darkened. "Missing? What do you mean?" "Miss George came back after work, and her car stopped outside the door. Just now, someone from management drove the car in, but Miss George had disappeared. The person said that a ck Maybach took Miss George away..." Amos frowned. "I see." ck Maybach... He got in his car, started the engine, and drove off at full speed. At the Granger Mansion, Amos headed straight to the living room as soon as he parked the car. When he arrived at the door of the living room, he took a deep breath and slowed down. The Granger family was waiting for him there. Old Master Granger sat in the middle. On the left was Old Master Granger''s younger brother, Harry Granger, and Harry''s wife, Kaylene Yoder. The two juniors were nowhere to be seen. On the right was Old Master Granger''s wife, Bethany Hamilton. "Amos is back. Come on in!" she weed. Amos frowned and looked around, but he did not see the familiar figure. Old Master Granger spoke before he could. "Come here!!" Only then did Amos see that there was a horse-skin whip beside the old man''s hand. It was in Amos''s family''s rule book. Amos had only seen it before, but he had never experienced it. "What''s this?" Amos asked. Old Master Granger remained silent but Harry, who was next to him, could not hold back his anger any longer. "Amos, you acted rashly on this matter. We know that you like the daughter of the George family, but you don''t have to spend our money to buy apany for her!" "I see!" Amos frowned and looked at Old Master Granger. "Don''t you need to verify the matter with me before you punish me?" Amos asked. Old Master Granger didn''t say a word, and there was no expression on his cold face. Amos sneered, "But it seems that you have made up your mind!" Amos took off his coat. Then, he walked up to face Old Master Granger. Beside them, Harry and Kaylene were both eager to see what would happen. Bethany said," Amos is the President of Valiant East Group after all. Please calm down." "What are you afraid of? He made a mistake and should be punished. All his elders are here!" Old Master Granger said. A crack rang out. The whip fell on Amos'' back. He was wearing a white shirt today. At the single strike, a blood stain leaked through the fabric. Even those who had been watching could not help but move their chairs back. They had seen the power of this whip. Amos gnashed his teeth but did not make a sound. Old Master Granger did not stop until he had dealt a dozenshes. Only then did he throw away the whip. "Amos, I have always been very satisfied with your abilities. It''s not that you can''t have women, but you must be rational. Your older brother lost his life early because of this." Amos moved as if his back wasn''t a bloody mess. "I am not my brother!" Amos dered. "That won''t work! There''s no need to say anything. Move back and call Dr. Bertinelli..." Amos frowned. "Where is she?" "Bastard!" Old Master Granger gritted his teeth. "I''ve already dealt with that woman. Don''t mention her again in the future. Your Second Uncle said that the only daughter of the Liam Family in Rosaville City has returned from abroad. I''ll arrange for you to meet as soon as possible." Amos smirked and sneered. "Okay! I''ll resign then." Amos said. "You!!!" Old Master Granger''s face turned livid with rage. "You just have to oppose me, don''t you?" "No, it''s just that I''m injured. I''m afraid that I can''t do well in thepany. Didn''t Second Uncle always wanted Steven to step up? Let him take over thepany!" Harry''s face was full of excitement, but Old Master Granger was well aware about Steven''s abilities and disagreed. However, Amos was serious this time. Old Master Granger had no choice but topromise. "Get back here!" Amos stopped and turned to face the crowd. "Bring her out!" Old Master Granger ordered. The servant opened the door and invited Eudora out. She had been locked up next door. As soon as Eudora walked out, she looked at Amos. When she saw that his back was full of bloodstains, her eyes turned red. She had seen many versions of Amos, but at this moment, she felt as if she had witnessed a whole new side of him. "Did you hear that? Are you happy to know that you were the one who caused strife within the Granger family now?" Old Master Granger snarled at Eudora. Eudora pursed her lips and said, "I think, you all misunderstood. In fact, Mr. Granger and I are not as close as you think. I made a deal with him, and we will be separated after a year!" Hearing this, Old Master Granger was stunned. He looked back and forth at the two people for a while, as if he was judging the authenticity of this sentence. "Are you serious?" Old Master Granger asked. "Of course!" Eudora smiled bitterly. "If you don''t believe me, you can check it out yourself. I asked Mr. Granger''s help in divorcing my ex-husband. He helped me just now because he promised me that he would protect me for a year. I won''t marry him, nor will I be an obstacle to the Granger family." After that, Eudora looked at Amos and said, "He is a man of his word." Amos frowned and thought. "This woman..." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. "Is that so, Amos?" Old Master Granger asked. Amos did not reply. He turned around and strode out of the door. Eudora was about to go after him, but she turned around and said, "If you don''t believe me, you can go and check." Then she left. After Amos left, Harry looked at the old man in disappointment. "Brother, do you really believe that? You saw Amos'' persistence just now!" "Shut up!" the old man snapped. "Amos is my son. Don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking. If Steven really wants to join thepany, you can ask him to do it by himself, and don''t y this kind of tricks at home again." Harry was very unwilling to give up, but he still deferred to Old Master Granger''s prestige. "I got it." On the stairs behind them, Samantha Cooper, who had been watching everything, gritted her teeth and retreated. Amos hurried away from his family home. Eudora followed closely behind. Amos suddenly stopped, causing Eudora to run into his back. Eudora''s heart sank. I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Let''s go home quickly. I''ll clean your wound for you." "No need!" Amos said in a deep voice. "You can go now." Eudora was taken aback, Amos said, "You don''t have to wait for a year. You can leave now." "I won''t leave!" Eudora was on the verge of tears. "I know that you asked me to leave just because you want to protect me. But, don''t worry. I have made it clear just now that we have a year..." "I said you don''t have to!" Amos suddenly became irascible, which startled Eudora. Then, before she could react, Amos had already started the car and sped away. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Eudora George was rooted to the spot for a while, she did not know whether to cry orugh. She could leave Amos Granger, but she was not happy about it. After her mother passed away, no one treated her as well as Amos. At first, she had tried her best to suppress her feelings and convince herself that everything was a just deal. However, didn''t she still treat him sincerely in this deal? Amos drove for a long time until he could no longer see the little figure in the rearview mirror. He thought that if he could not see her, his restless heart would be relieved. However, he now became more agitated. He cursed and turned back towards the Granger Mansion. The little woman was not there. Amos¡¯s heart sank. "Did Harry do it again?" However, on second thought, it should not be possible. They were at the Granger Mansion, Harry couldn''t be so stupid. He knew how stubborn the little woman was. The more she was forbidden to do something, the more persistent she bes. Thinking of this, Amos headed back home. Sure enough, ten minutester, her stubborn little figure shuffled into view. She did not wear shoes, but walked on the road slowly with bare feet. He didn''t know what to do with her. Amos stopped the car in front of her. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get in the car." Eudora stopped walking. When she saw Amos, a smile appeared on her face. "Amos! I knew you wouldn''t leave me alone," Eudora cried. "Why didn''t you put on your shoes?" Amos asked curiously. Eudora frowned. "The high heels hurt my feet!" she replied. Sure enough, there was a blister on her heel. Amos stopped talking and concentrated on driving. However, he was still noticeably grumpy. After a moment of silence, Eudora said, "Amos, let''s make the best of our remaining time together, shall we?" Amos was startled. "Stupid woman, don''t you want to leave unscathed?" Eudora felt bitter in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face. "I want to..But... It''s just that you''re too kind to me. I have to repay you." Both of them were silent. After a long time, Amos said in a low voice, "I don''t want you to repay me." They arrived home, Valerie Bertinelli had already left. She only worked here during the day, she didn''t live there with them. Eudora took out a first aid kit and was about to apply the medicine on Amos. Unexpectedly, Amos pressed her on the sofa. Eudora''s face turned crimson. "Your back is still injured!" she protested. Amos ignored her, held her moving feet, and picked up the things in the first aid kit. Only then did Eudora understand that Amos was going to apply medicine on her heel. He lowered his head. She had a front row view of the side of his face as he focused. His jawlines were so defined and charming. Eudora''s heart beat like a jackhammer. She hurriedly looked away, only for her gaze to fall on the blood stains on his back. He hadn''t evenined about the pain. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Does it hurt?" Eudora suddenly asked. Then, the little woman sat up and slowly unbuttoned his shirt from behind. She gasped. The criss- cross wounds had already opened. Although the bleeding had stopped, it still looked morbid. Amos frowned. As soon as he thought of it, a small cold hand had already touched his back. Following the wounds, her fingers slowly moved forward. Her fingers traced his back. He felt itchy and stiff. "Does it hurt?" Eudora asked in distress. Amos frowned. He grew up in Europe alone. He spent most of his time dealing with dangerous situations. This was the first time someone had asked him such a question. In a split second, his heart clenched. He turned around and kissed the little woman''s lips in an overpowering and passionate way. Eudora was stunned for a moment, and then she put her hands around his neck. This was different from when she was drunk. She was sober enough to know what she was doing. Her mind was clear, and he wanted it. The long night became a wonderful dream. The next morning, Eudora woke up before Amos. She stretched out her head and checked his back. The wound she had treated had already begun to heal. Just as she was about to get up, he grabbed her hand. "Are you running away after a one night stand?" Amos said cheekily. Eudora was confused. "Ah?" It was this confused but innocent expression that made it unbearable for him to lose her. He pulled her back into his arms and gave her a French kiss. When Amos let go of her, she turned around and ran away. As Amos watched her retreating back, his gaze became keen. For the first time, he began to wonder if it was right or wrong to keep her here at this time. Valerie had already prepared breakfast, so they had a rare breakfast together at home. Then they went to work separately. For the past few days, Eudora had seen a lot of cases. She finally decided on a European style. The main reason was that a lot of designs were inclined to a Bohemian or industrial style. European style had been forgotten! This idea might be refreshing She put her ideas into action. As Eudora was busy working, Christopher Gellert came and stood behind her for some time. "European style?" Christopher asked. Eudora was amazed. She smiled and said, "You can see that?!" She was just matching the colours! "The colors gave it away. The concept is pretty good," Christopher said with a smile. "You''ll have to hand in the design tomorrow. You must finish it today." "Okay!" Eudora nodded. It took her the whole morning to finish the draft, but she was still satisfied. While they were having lunch, a colleague came over. "Can I sit with you?" she asked. Eudora was startled. She recognized the woman as Jacqueline Zac, a senior designer from the design department. Eudora had seen some of her designs before and loved them. She had always admire Jacqueline since then. Jacqueline took the initiative to say hello. Of course, Eudora was delighted. "Of course." Jacqueline could be considered to be her first friend at thepany. Jacqueline was quite talkative. By the end of the meal, they had gotten to know each other pretty well. Jacqueline smiled and said, "It seems that you are really hardworking. If you don''t understand anything, feel free to ask me." Eudora nodded and watched her leave. She probably hadn''t been socialising with anyone for a long time. Jacqueline was too enthusiastic. In the afternoon, a brief office meeting was held. After work, Eudora quickly put away herputer and went home. There were many other aspects in her design draft that needed to be refined. She had toplete it tonight. But when she got home, she turned on theputer and couldn''t find her design draft. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Eudora thought that she saved it in a wrong file. She could not find it no matter how hard she tried. When Amos came home, he saw her staring at theptop helplessly. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. Amos frowned and asked, "What''s wrong?" "My draft is gone!" Eudora cried, "It was still in myptop this afternoon, but I couldn''t find it when I came back home. What should I do? The meeting is tomorrow. I thought I could win the case this time." Amos frowned again. "Did anyone touch yourputer?" Eudora shook her head and answered, "I''ve been holding on to it the whole time..." She paused for a while and she recalled, "I went to print some documents when I was about to get off work just now. Jacqueline volunteered to watch over myptop." "Could it be her? But, why did she do it? She''s so outstanding and excellent at her work!" Eudora was not that naive either. She just didn''t expect that Jacqueline, whom she respected so much, would do such a thing. Amos looked at Eudora disapprovingly, "Perhaps that is precisely why she did this. It makes sense for her to do this in order to destroy you since you are acting so confidently." Eudora gave him a wry smile All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. and whispered, "I''m too naive." "No, you''re not," Amos replied, "It''s just that you never believe bad people exist around you." Eudora let out a long sigh and started to work again. "Anyway, let''se out with a new n first." Amos was astonished by her reaction. She never failed to surprise him. Expectedly, she was not frustrated at what happened and was able to quickly adjust her mood. "Tell me your idea," Amos said. "My original design is a European style, but since Jacqueline had stolen my work, I can''t use it anymore in case it was a trap. So I have to use another style. I''m considering the minimalist style!" Eudora shared her idea. Amos nodded andmented, "Sounds good, but it''s going to be hard to make it stand out among so many designers." Eudora had also considered this possibility. However, she was not left with many choices. "What about a modern European style!" Amos suggested. "Hmm?" Eudora pondered for a moment, and eximed excitedly, "Good idea!" People nowadays preferred modern European style a lot more. On one hand, it could satisfy the expectation of the older generation, and on the other hand, it was going to be more vibrant ifpared to the conventional European style. She hugged Amos happily and gave him a kiss on his face before she returned to theptop and started to work. Amos'' lips curled up slightly. He put down his coat and went to his study. The next morning, in the meeting room of Everpeace Group. Jacqueline was not as enthusiastic as she was yesterday. She smiled smugly and teased, "Eudora, have youpleted your design?" Eudora''s heart sank. "You know better than I!" "What do you mean?" ying dumb, Jacqueline said, "What does your work have to do with me?" Eudora didn''t want to argue with her and went straight to her seat. The meeting started as soon as Christopher Gellert arrived. Every designer presented and exined their idea. As Amos said, most of the designs were inclined to the minimalist style. If she had chosen this theme, it was unlikely that her work would stand out. Without surprise, Jacqueline presented her design based on the concept of the ssic European style. Eudora''s body froze while her eyes were fixed on the screen. She had poured her heart and soul into this project. She never expected that Jacqueline would be so shameless. Initially, she thought that she stole her draft just to destroy them, or to frame her. Never did she expect that Jacqueline would use her work as her own. After listening to the whole presentation, Eudora saw nothing else was changed besides the author''s name. Their colleagues praised Jacqueline for her work. "This is unbelievable! I haven''t seen such a beautiful design for a long time." "Jacqueline is definitely going to win this time. How can she be so talented?" Everyone else in the room was astonished. "Ah, take your time to learn!" One of the colleagues teased. Eudora''s body trembled as she tried her best to hold in her anger. Christopher called, "Eudora, can you show us your design?" Acting like a helpful superior, Jacqueline quickly answered, "President Gellert, Eudora is still new. I don''t think she is ready. I hope it''s okay if you transfer her to my group. I will teach her whatever she''s Everyone ttered, "Jacqueline, that''s very kind of you." "Don''t mention it," Jacqueline replied with a smile. Eudora sneered, "That''s not necessary!" Pretending to not care, Jacqueline said, "Eudora, you don''t have to do this." Without further ado, Eudora connected herptop to the projector. Jacqueline trembled a little inside, fearing that Eudora would expose her secret. But on second thought, she was relieved again. She had presented her draft before Eudora. No one was going to believe her! With her arms crossed, Jacqueline smiled and sat down again. Eudora began her presentation by introducing her ideas. "The concept of my design is the European style." "Again?" Everyone muttered. "Jacqueline, did she do this under your guidance?" One of the colleagues asked. Eudora interrupted before Jacqueline could answer, "No! I did this all by myself." Her tone was a little harsh but no one said anything. Christopher said, "Okay, go ahead." As mentioned, Eudora''s design was centered around the European style. Jacqueline''s design was considered ssic, but Eudora''s modern design was both elegant and exhrating. Instead of being dull and serious, her design was more lively and young. The beauty of the ssic European style was also carefully included in her design. Jacqueline''s eyes were fixed on the screen, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "Bravo!" Christopher took the lead and cheered, "That''s perfect." Everyone agreed to him that Eudora''s work was simply excellent. "Eudora, that''s amazing. Your work is perfect although this is your first time!" The people in the room apuded her good work. "That''s right. You have to guide me in the future." They teased. Fury roared through Jacqueline''s mind. She stood up and pointed at Eudora, and used, "Gellert, she stole my work!" Eudora felt a jolt of anger and thought. "What a thief! She sure is shameless." Christopher asked, "Which part of it?" "Miss Zac, where''s your proof?" Eudora asked. "The concept!" Jacqueline gritted her teeth. "She asked me what style I chose during lunch yesterday. I told her, so she modified it and took it as hers. Everyone else can be my witness. Didn''t you guys see me having lunch with her yesterday?" Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Only then did Eudora realize that even the meal with her yesterday was part of her n. She fell into the trap without even knowing it. The rest of the colleagues were jealous of Eudora. They were not going to allow her to seed this easily. Now that Jacqueline had started, they were going to continue the story for her. "That''s right. We saw them having lunch together yesterday, talking andughing." One said while another added, "Yes, I also heard that Jacqueline reassured Eudora that she would always help if she doesn''t understand anything!" Eudora frowned. "The meal is just a coincidence. Plus, there are only a few interior styles to choose from in total. Why can''t I choose the same style as yours, Miss Zac?" Her points were not convincing at all! "Of course you didn''t! You copied more than that!" Jacqueline eximed. Jacqueline pointed to a spot on the screen and added, "This is on my draft too. I designed it!" It was a European-style garden rack. Eudora had added it onto her design to make it look more elegant. Eudora had included it in her new work too. It never urred to Eudora that this would be proof to say that she giarized others'' works! Although Jacqueline did not edit any part of the drawing, she had paid attention to the details in Eudora''s work. Christopher frowned upon hearing this. Everyone was mumbling among themselves, discussing the best way to get rid of Eudora. "Both your designs are so simr. Could you have identally mentioned it to someone, Jacqueline? Or did someone lure you to tell her your idea?" Jacqueline red at Eudora, and everyone was convinced that Eudora was the thief. Eudora took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Miss Zac, you are right!" No one expected that Eudora was going to admit it. Jacqueline could not hide her wicked gaze. Her determination to destroy Eudora grew stronger. Eudora continued, "I was indeed used by someone. But it is not me. It''s you, Jacqueline Zac!" Jacqueline''s smile froze on her face and yelled, "Nonsense." "We will speak with evidence! If this is truly your design, show us the materials you collected," Eudora replied. Jacqueline was stunned. She overlooked this. Jacqueline thought that someone who was always nice and friendly like Eudora would not dare to speak up. She didn''t expect that Eudora could remain calm in this situation ande out with such a strong point against her. "Ipleted it at one go!" Jacqueline gritted her teeth and whispered. Eudora nodded. "Okay. I''ll show everyone my preparation work then." Eudora opened her file folder and took out all the materials and examples she had collected in the past few days. She also showed some of her drafts, all of which had the timestamps on it. The dates showed that Eudora drafted her work days ago. Knowing the truth after seeing all the evidence, Christopher looked at Eudora with admiration. Jacqueline continued to argue, "These things can only prove that we chose the same concept by coincidence, but you can''t deny that you copied my work!" "No, I didn''t!" Eudora rebutted. She erged the garden rack on Jacqueline''s design. "Please look carefully at the corner of this flower rack," Eudora pointed. Everyone''s eyes followed Eudora''s finger. Christopher was the first one to spot it. He eximed, "It''s a G!" A letter G was seen on a corner of the garden rack. It was extremely small, so they didn''t notice it at first sight. After Christopher pointed it out, everyone nodded and said, "Look, her initial is there!" "Oh, I see." "That''s interesting!" Christopher said with a smile. Someone suddenly hinted, "President Gellert, how should we deal with those who want to frame others when in reality she was the one who giarized others'' work?" "Yeah! I feel sick at the thought of working with her!" Another added. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "I really didn''t expect that. She''s a well- known designer!" Jacqueline''s face was livid and screamed, "You ungrateful people!" "At least we are better than you thieving monster!" They shouted. "Ah!" Jacqueline was not backing down and bellowed, "Neither do I want to work with any of you!" She stormed out of the meeting room. "Well, let''s forget her!" Christopher said, "Shall we talk about the results now? We are going to choose 4 winning designs today to show our clients. I think the first ce should go to Eudora. Are there any objections?" "Agreed!" Everyone approved. "That''s settled then!" Christopher announced the other three winning works and ended the meeting. Eudora quickly dashed out, trying to catch Jacqueline. She screamed, "Wait a minute!" Jacqueline sped up while carrying her stuff. "Jacqueline!" Eudora shouted again, "Stop! Why did you do this to me?" Jacqueline sneered, "Don''t you realize it? It''s all because of your reckless behavior." "My behavior?" Eudora didn''t understand what she said. "You know your private life better than anyone does. You will regret offending someone you should have never offended!" Jacqueline warned. She left without looking back. Eudora frowned and repeated, "Someone whom I should not have offended?" Eudora had no idea who was this person Jacqueline referring to. When she returned to the office, Christopher came and invited her, "Let''s go. We are going to take our designs to participate in the selection!" Eudora''s jaw dropped down slightly and reconfirmed, "Me?" Christopher nodded. "Of course, it''s you. You defeated the most qualified designer in our department, Jacqueline, who just quit. Who else if it''s not you? Let''s go!" Eudora epted the invitation and followed Christopher out. However, her heart was filled with nervousness. She was told that her opponent was from a very reputablepany. She was not confident if she was going to win. Deep in her thoughts, she heard approaching footsteps from the door. Eudora immediately stood up to greet them when she was told that her opponentpany had arrived. "Amos? So their opponent was Valiant East?" She screamed in her mind, dumbfounded. "It''s over. We are going to lose this time!" Eudora muttered in Christopher''s ears. He disagreed, "That''s not necessarily true." Upon entering the room, Amos saw them whispering to each other. Christopher raised his head and smiled at him. Amos looked away, trying to avoid making eye contact. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The representative from the organizer turned into aplete bootlicker immediately when he saw Amos. He flooded Amos with all kinds ofpliments. Eudora was sick of seeing him. Amos, on the other hand, didn''t utter a single word, keeping his cool. For some reason, Eudora recalled his look while he was on the bed... Christopher, who was standing beside her, whispered, "What''s wrong? What are you looking at?" Eudora''s cheeks turned red. She quickly shook her head and replied, "Nothing." The meeting began. The organizers wanted to see the design from Amos'' side first. In fact, Eudora wanted to see theirs too. Hispany was way stronger and she was not going to underestimate them. Without surprise, their design indeed looked a lot more sophisticated. However, Eudora was a little disappointed as none of their designs were based on a European style. She would not have a chance topete with them on the same ground then. The representative started ttering Amos again. Eudora could hardly stand it anymore. It seemed like the chances of them winning this case were slim. Fortunately, Everpeace Group was under the Gellert family after all. Despite being in an unfavorable situation, the organizer did not dare to ignore Everpeace. When Eudora was presenting her design, the representative didn''t look at it even once. He turned to Amos and said, "Mr. Granger, shall we sign the contract?" Eudora frowned and muttered, "But you haven''t even seen our work." "I''ve already seen it!" The man defended. "You didn''t!" Eudora fumed. Despite spending so much effort, they were still nothing in the eyes of others. "What''s wrong with you?" The representative felt a flicker of irritation and roared, "I said that I''ve seen it! Your work is bad. What else do you want?" Eudora retorted, "No, you don''t want to see it at all. If you are not going to choose us in the beginning, why did you waste our time?" He felt a stab of anger. He raised his hand, attempting to hit Eudora. Christopher, who was beside, quickly pushed Eudora behind him and punched the representative. The man could feel his anger rippling through him. Before he could throw out his punch, someone held his arm from behind. "President Granger..." The representative grimaced in pain. "What''s going on?" Amos was staring at Eudora with a stern look. Her eyes were watery as she was immobilized with fury. Amos pushed the representative away, walked over and grabbed Eudora towards him, and asked, "Are you okay?" Eudora shook her head. Amos instructed Clint, "Take her out." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Clint Zuckerberg escorted Eudora out, leaving only Christopher and Amos in the room. Amos'' eyes darkened as he said, "Stop what you''re doing, Christopher!" Christopher remained gentle and elegant, and teased, "Is President Granger ying riddles with me? I don''t understand what you said!" Amos snorted, "You can choose not to bring your designer here today." "You are right, but my n worked. You are here and she is also here. You have seen how much she loves her work! If she gets this chance, it is definitely going to help her career. Do you want to see her lose?" "She will have more opportunities," Amos replied. "She is going to have tons of opportunities if she follows you. But I''m not going to grant your wish!" Christopher left the room as soon as he finished his words. "Let''s go back to thepany," Christopher said. Eudora nodded. Clint hurriedly stopped her, "Miss George, President Granger is waiting for you." "Let her go!" Amos said. Christopher was right. This woman loved her job. She would not want to stay for him at this moment. Clint let go of Eudora and watched them leave. When they got outside, Eudora apologized to Christopher. "Sorry, I acted too emotionally just now. It is all my fault." Christopher shook his head. "Do you think that we were going to win if you did not act like that?" He Eudora felt guilty. All their hard work went down the drain. She thought that she could use this opportunity to improve her portfolio. Ringggggggg...! Christopher''s phone rang. He looked at the number and told, "Herees our chance." Eudora didn''t understand what he meant until Christopher exined, "They ask us to go back to sign the contract." "Huh?" Eudora was confused, "But didn''t I mess it up? Why would they do this?" "Isn''t it obvious? Because your design is great!" Christopher said with a smile. They went back and was approached by another manager. He, unlike the bootlicker, was very polite. "I apologize for my colleague for bringing you such an unpleasant experience and we have taken appropriate disciplinary actions on him. Now I will be fully responsible for our future coboration." Eudora looked around and saw no one from Valiant East, including Amos. She blurted out, "What about Valiant East? Where are they?" The manager smiled and answered, "Their designs are indeed very good. But our boss likes your design more!" Eudora was relieved and nodded. After signing the contract, Christopher proposed, "Let''s go! I will treat you to dinner" "Thanks, but it''s alright," Eudora declined and shook her head. "Another day!" Christopher gossiped, "Are you afraid that President Granger will be jealous?" Christopher was the first colleague who knew about her rtionship with Amos. Eudora felt ufortable hearing himment about their rtionship. "President Gellert, please stay away from my private life." Christopher burst outughing. "Alright, forget it. I''m not going to ruin the mood. Go home and get some rest. You''ll be busy at work from tomorrow onwards" He got in the car and left. Eudora drove her own car today. She wanted to go home initially but decided to go to the mall to celebrate. The manager said that her design was chosen because they liked it. However, Eudora knew in her heart this was only possible with Amos'' help and the reputation of Valiant East Group. She wanted to give him a present to repay his kindness. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Eudora George wanted to buy a watch initially. However, watches were luxury goods and Eudora didn¡¯t have much money. Also, Amos Granger already had all kinds of watches. Therefore, Eudora felt it was not suitable to buy a watch for him as a gift. After thinking about it for a while, Eudora finally decided to buy a tie instead. Eudora loved the grey checkered tie because the design was not too fancy and looked sophisticated. Without wasting much time, she said to the shop assistant, "I am buying this tie. Please help me to wrap it up!" Eudora had just finished talking when all of a sudden, someone grabbed the tie away. The person said, "I want to buy this tie." It could only be Samantha Cooper who would behave in such a provocative way. Eudora frowned and said, "Well, I¡¯ve already told the shop assistant that I am buying this tie!" The shop assistant, who was standing next to them, reminded Samantha kindly, "What she said is right." Samantha threw an indifferent look. "So what? I¡¯ll double the price!" She said. This was ridiculous! Eudora gritted her teeth. The shop assistant said awkwardly, "Miss, our system can''t ept double the price. You can only pay at the price that has been fixed." "It doesn''t matter, you can keep the rest of the money," Samantha continued. How could a shop assistant reject such an offer? The shop assistant nodded immediately and said, ¡®T II wrap the tie and prepare the receipt for you now!" Eudora gritted her teeth. It wasn''t easy to find a suitable gift for Amos that she liked. She just wanted to buy Amos a tie. Why did she have to run into her! "Please hold on!" Eudora said. Then, she took out her credit card and said, "I¡¯ll triple the price!" "I¡¯ll pay four times!" Samantha said. "Five times!" "Six times..." Samantha would pay more no matter how much Eudora was going to pay. In the end, the price went up to ten times the original price. Upon hearing this, the shop assistant¡¯s eyes brightened. Eudora kept her credit card and said, "Please sell it to thisdy!" There was no such need to buy the tie anymore because it had lost its value. After saying that, Eudora turned around and left. Samantha caught up with Eudora immediately and shouted, "Hey! Don''t go away! I haven''t finished talking to you yet!" However, Eudora ignored her. The shop assistant, who was standing behind Samantha, began to worry that Samantha would not pay the bill. The shop assistant caught up with them and said, "Miss, you haven''t paid the bill yet!" There were many passersby. They stopped in their path to see what was going on. The original price of this luxury tie was thousands of dors. However, it was now being stacked to ten times the original price! Samantha couldn¡¯ t leave because the shop assistant was pestering her. Besides, she didn¡¯t want to lose her face. It seemed that she couldn''t leave if she didn''t pay. While Samantha dealt with the shop assistant, Eudora quickly chose another tie instead. She went downstairs after buying it. Unexpectedly, Eudora bumped into Samantha again when she arrived at the parking lot. Samantha was driving a royal blue sports car that looked very expensive. Samantha burst intoughter when she saw Eudora¡¯ s car was just a POLO. She said, "Well, it seems that Amos doesn''t really treat you well. The servant in my house wouldn¡¯t even drive this car." "What an immature woman," Eudora thought. Then, she opened the car door and got into the car. Eudora could finally find some peace after getting into the car. Eudora saw a royal blue car following her in the rearview mirror when she had just started to drive the car away. Eudora shook her head. However, secondster, she realised that the car began to speed up. In a split second, her heart skipped a beat as she saw the car rushing towards her. Eudora was so shocked that she turned the steering wheel to move her car to the side. However, there were other cars parked at the side of the parking lot. It was hard for her to avoid bumping into other people''s cars. In the end, Eudora¡¯s car crashed into the pir in the basement. This caused a dent on the car. "Eudora, I''d like to see how lucky you are this time!" Samantha said. After saying that, Samantha wanted to knock into Eudora¡¯s car again. The staff in the parking lot rushed over immediately when they heard the sound. They put down the guardrail while rushing over. Upon seeing this, Samantha knew that she couldn''t take any advantage of Eudora anymore. Therefore, she turned her car around and left the parking lot using another exit. The staff asked Eudora, "Are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambnce for you?" Eudora shook her head and replied, "I''m fine!" Fortunately, Eudora had fastened the seat belt. Therefore, she didn¡¯t suffer from any serious injuries. When her car crashed into the pir just now, some stuff in the car fell and injured her knees. However, Eudora couldn¡¯t drive the car anymore. The front of her car was badly damaged. While Eudora was thinking of a solution, she received a call from Amos. She told Amos where she was. Then, she called a towingpany and waited at the same ce. After a short while, Amos arrived. He saw Eudora standing in the parking lot as soon as he came into the parking lot. She looked absent-minded. There was a handkerchief wrapped around her knee. The car beside her looked horrible! Amos got out of the car immediately and held her into his arms. "What happened?" Amos asked. Eudora¡¯s heart finally settled when Amos held her into his arms. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°I bumped into Samantha when I came out to buy something just now." "It''s her again?" Amos said while deepening his frown. "Are you all right?" He continued. "I''m fine!" Eudora replied. Clint Zuckerberg arrived when they were talking. Amos asked Clint to wait for the towing service. Then, he carried Eudora without saying anything. Eudora was shocked. She struggled and said, "Hey, I can walk on my own." "Don''t move," Amos insisted. In the end, Eudora stopped struggling and allowed Amos to carry her into his car. When he saw the handkerchief on her knee and the scar on her arm, Amos felt a stabbing pain in his heart. "Why do you always get injured recently?" Amos said. Eudora was stunned because she could tell that Amos was feeling sad. "What I saidst time is still valid!" Amos said suddenly. "End this deal," He continued. Eudora shook her head immediately. "I¡¯m okay. It''s just a graze on my knee. I''m really fine. Oh, by the way, I haven''t told you the good news. My proposal has been approved." However, Amos was still frowning. Upon seeing this, Eudora reached out her hand to try to rx his furrowed eyebrows. "Hey! Cheer up! I bought you a gift!" After saying that, she suddenly remembered that the gift was still in her car. "Oh no! I forgot to take it down. I don''t know if it is still in good condition or not," She said. As soon as Eudora finished speaking, Amos pulled her into his arms. Eudora was stunned for a while. After that, she reached out her hand and patted Amos on the back. "I''m really fine. Hey, I''m a little hungry. Shall we go home now?" Eudora said. Amos nodded his head and started the car engine. After finishing their meal, Amos helped Eudora to apply medicine on the wound. Then, he walked into his study. He picked up the phone on the table and made a phone call. "Let''s put on hold the n to acquire Everpeace for now," Amos said. Harley Louis was even more surprised at this than Amos¡¯ initial decision to take over Everpeace. "Why? You would never give up halfway!" Harley asked. ''T m not giving up halfway. I have a new n instead," Amos said. "What?" Harley was shocked. Amos narrowed his eyes and continued, "I¡¯m going to deal with Harry Granger!" Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "What?" Harley was surprised. "Didn''t you always say the most important thing is to show results first? Why are you suddenly changing the n?" Amos pursed his lips and did not say anything. Harley thought about something and was astonished. "Could it be because of Eudora again? Amos, you¡¯re really hopeless!" Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Amos Granger did not answer Harley Louis. Suddenly, another phone call came in and Amos ended his call with Harley. The phone call was from Clint Zuckerberg. Clint wanted to report to him that the car had been sent for repair. "It''s really horrible. Miss George would definitely suffer from serious injuries if the car were to hit the pir a little harder." Upon hearing this, Amos narrowed his eyes and said, "Please help me to do one thing." After hanging up the phone, Amos sat on the chair quietly for a while. Then, he got up, stubbed out his cigarette, and returned to the room. Eudora had not fallen asleep yet. She was looking intently at the design blueprints on theptop. Amos frowned when he saw this. He walked over and grabbed theptop in her hand. "It''s time for you to rest," Amos said. "I''m not sleepy," Eudora protested. She had just looked at the case for a while. "Can I look at it for another five minutes? Just five more minutes," She asked. "No!" Amos was determined. It was difficult to change Amos¡¯ mind. Eudora was dismayed. "Well, then I''m sure I can''t sleep tonight." "Can''t sleep?" Amos swallowed his saliva while staring at Eudora. Then, he said in a low voice, "Let¡¯ s do something else then!" "Hmm..." Amos shut Eudora with a kiss before she could even protest. Amos was a little bit different tonight. He was not as patient as he was previously. However, he was not coercive like he was in the beginning too. Amos thrusted deeply into Eudora with strength, as if he wanted to roll her into his own body. In the end, Eudora did not know when she fell asleep. Seeing that Eudora, who was lying beneath his body, had finally fallen asleep, Amos ended the love making as soon as possible. Then, he carried Eudora into the bathroom. Amos released hot water into the bathtub. Then, he carried Eudora into the tub and started to clean her up. Amos frowned when he touched her protruding corbone. Eudora had to pretend that she was indifferent since she left the Meyer family. However, Amos could tell that Eudora really wanted to prove herself. Eudora wanted to show some achievements so that she could make the George family members understand that her decision was right. Amos lowered his head and kissed Eudora on her corbone. Then, he continued to help her to clean up and carried her back to the bed. The next day, Eudora woke up and found that Amos was not beside her. She felt fresh and clean. She was embarrassed when she realized that it was Amos who helped her to clean up. Eudora lied on the bed for a while. Then, she washed up and went downstairs. The breakfast was prepared by Aunt Valerie. Eudora was reading the newspaper while eating. In the past, she would not read the paper while she was eating. However, she changed her habits because of Amos. Amos would always read the newspapers when he was eating. Eudora read the entertainment news first. She was not interested in the sensationalized news of celebrities or rich businessmen. However, she saw a familiar name when she was just about to put the newspaper away. "Samantha Cooper?"She thought. Eudora took a sip of milk and read the news carefully. The zoomed-in photo featured Samantha hooking up with guys in the nightclub. She even showed off her breasts. What''s more, she had sex in a luxury car! Wow! This was really eye-opening! Eudora was so shocked that her jaw dropped. This was much more interesting than the news about celebrities. At the same time, in the Granger Mansion. Old Master Granger was reading the newspaper as well. However, he only uttered one sentence, "Our family¡¯s reputation is ruined!"After saying that, he threw the papers to Harry Granger and went upstairs. Harry picked it up and took a look at it. His face turned pale immediately. "Where''s Samantha?" He asked. Kaylene Yoder was stunned. She replied, "I think she came backtest night, so she hasn''t woken up yet." "Ask her toe down now!" Harry said angrily. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Only then did Kaylene realize that something was wrong. She hurried upstairs. After a short while, Samantha, with her eyes half-opened, walked down the stairs. She asked, "Dad, what''s wrong?" "You idiot! You¡¯ve ruined the reputation of the Granger family!" Harry scolded her. Samantha did not know what had happened. She replied, "I just went to the bar with my friends to have a drink. I didn''t do anything!" "Then, what''s this?" Harry threw the newspaper in his hand to Samantha. Samantha was stunned after reading it. She said nervously, "Dad, please believe in me. These are not true. I only love Amos. How could I do such a thing?" "Are these photos fake then? Your actions have gotten you into a big trouble even if you didn''t do these. Your uncle has already known about this. He¡¯ II definitely punish you even if I let you go!" "Dad!" Samantha did not know what to say. Then, she continued, "This must be a revenge. It must be Eudora who is seeking vengeance!" "Eudora?" Harry frowned. "That woman is a b*tch. I only rammed her car with mine yesterday. I didn''t expect that she''d do such a thing to seek vengeance!" Samantha said without thinking rationally. Upon hearing this, Harry was shocked. He asked, "What did you just say?" Samantha covered her mouth with her hand when she realised she had just exposed herself. "Tell me now! Did you assault Eudora again?" Harry mmed hard on the table and stood up. Then, he continued, "Haven''t I told you to behave yourself recently? Your brother is applying for a job in Valiant East. This is a critical time. Even your uncle acknowledged her for the time being. Why do you want to provoke her?" Samantha was unhappy. She stammered, "I... She¡¯s not injured. Only the car was damaged. Well, I''ll buy her a new car then. She¡¯s just driving a POLO..." "Do you think all this is just about a car? I guess you still can''t figure out where the problem is! Do you think Eudora is capable of manipting the newspaper?" Upon hearing this, Samantha¡¯s face turned pale immediately. She asked, "Is it... Amos who did this?" Harry looked even more worried. He said, "This won''t do. I think you must apologize to Eudora George immediately." "I won''t do it!" Samantha protested. It was impossible for her to apologize to Eudora. She continued, "She''s fine after the ident. Why should I apologize to her?" "You have to!" Harry shouted. He didn''t even bother to exin to her. "Pack up your things and get out of here if you don¡¯t want to apologize to her! From then on, you will no longer be a family member of the Granger family!" Samantha was dumbfounded. She did not expect that Harry would chase her out of this family. She could not leave this family. "Fine, I''ll do it!" Samantha gritted her teeth and snorted. Then, she ran out quickly. Kaylene called after Samantha. However, she was stopped by her husband. Harry looked at the servant next to him and said, "Please buy some things for Miss. I want you to watch her apologize to Eudora personally." Eudora was in a better mood after reading about the news this morning. She thought, "Well, I guess Samantha will not be daring enough to step out of her house this week! This is totally karma.¡¯ Eudora had a clearer mind now for her project because she was in a good mood. Her mobile phone rang when she was busy with her project. Amos said on the other end of the phone, "You''re a workaholic now. Don''t you need to have lunch?" Only then did Eudora realize that she was the only one left in the office right now. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh, I''m going to eat right now." "Come downstairs!" Amos said. Eudora was stunned. "You''re downstairs?" she asked. Then, she looked out the window and saw Amos¡¯ ck Maybach parked at the opposite side of the road. Eudora felt a warmth in her heart and waved at Amos quickly. "I''lle down right now," She said. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Amos Granger took Eudora George to a French restaurant. After sitting down, Eudora couldn''t help but rant to Amos. "Hey! Have you read the newspaper in the morning? Is this why you don''t like Samantha?" Eudora asked. She teased Amos but her eyes lightened up with a smile. This little woman was bold enough to tease him now, Amos thought. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Just because of this, you''re happy? Well, I guess you''ll be happierter." "Is there any other good news?" Eudora asked happily. While Eudora was talking, the door of the restaurant was pushed open violently. Samantha Cooper entered the restaurant unhappily and walked towards them. Eudora was stunned. "What is she doing here?" Samantha was standing in front of her before she could even finish her sentence. She looked even worse than the day before. Samantha stood in front of them without saying anything. Eudora couldn''t figure out what she was going to do! The servant, who was standing behind Samantha, reminded her carefully, "Miss Samantha, didn''t Second Master say..." "I''m sorry!1'' Samantha said to Eudora tly. Eudora¡¯s mouth twitched. She thought, ¡°Is she apologizing to me? But it doesn''t sound like an apology." After saying that, Samantha turned around to leave. However, Amos said in a low voice, "No one will force you if you don''t want to apologize." "Amos Granger!" Samantha burst into anger. She continued, "I liked you so much. But, why are you treating me like this? What''s good about this woman? She is a divorcee!" Upon hearing this, Amos¡¯ face darkened like an impending storm. "Watch your words!" he said. He looked enraged. His expression was a hundred times scarier than Harry Granger when he was venting his anger. Amos had scared the living daylights out of Samantha. She froze. The servant, who was standing beside Samantha, was so frightened that she inadvertently dropped the gift to the ground. "I''m sorry! I didn''t do it on purpose!" the servant apologized immediately. "Get out of here now!" Amos roared. The servant scampered off immediately. But after taking a few steps, she realised that Samantha was still standing there. She hurried back to pull Samantha away. Amos was still in a gloomy mood after Samantha and the servant left the restaurant. Eudora reached out her hand to hold his hand and said, "Hey, are you still angry? I¡¯m not even upset." Amos gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I think she doesn''t want to live anymore!" Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She said, "Please don''t be like this, Amos. You don¡¯t have to be so angry with her. Don¡¯t you want to enjoy lunch with me? I dare not eat if you continue to be angry." This woman... In the end, he sighed and said, "Okay, let''s eat." After lunch, Amos sent Eudora back to herpany. Then, he went back to hispany. Clint Zuckerberg approached him when Amos had just arrived at his office. Clint said, "President Granger, I took a nce at the list handed over by the Human Resources department just now. Guess whose name I saw?" "Steven Granger!" Amos said coldly. He was not surprised at all. Clint smiled and said, "Well, it seems that you have already figured it out. Yup, it''s him. What do you think about this?" "What''s he good at?" Amos asked. Clint shook his head and said, ¡°He¡¯s not very outstanding. Well, he¡¯s just average among all the candidates." Amos sneered and said, "His father would definitely be fuming if he heard what you have just said.¡± Harry treasured his son a lot! Harry had wanted to im the Granger family¡¯s assets as his own so that his son could inherit them in the future. "Well, I''m just telling the truth," Clint said earnestly. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Amos shook his head and said, "Please tell the Human Resources department to make an exception and recruit Steven." Upon hearing this, Clint was stunned. However, he didn''t ask anything. He nodded and proceeded to do ording to what Amos had instructed him to do. In the afternoon, Harry received the news that Steven was recruited. He was on cloud nine. He went to the Old Master¡¯s study room immediately. "Brother! I''ve told you that Steven is capable, right?" Harry said happily. Old Master Granger did not show any facial expression. He was practicing calligraphy. Amos had the same aura as him. People could tell that they were father and son. "Then ask him to work hard," Old Master Granger said. Harry nodded his head immediately. "That''s for sure. Steven will definitely work hard for Valiant East." "That''s good. His skills are secondary since we have Amos in our family. You should pay more attention to his behaviour instead. Don''t let him ruin our family¡¯s reputation." ¡°What a cunning man!" Harry thought. Harry gritted his teeth and said, "I think the news that we saw this morning is fake. Samantha grew up with us. Although she is a little wayward, she still knows how to behave herself. I guess you don¡¯t know that she identally crashed into Eudora¡¯s car in the parking lot yesterday. They had a dispute. How could she be in the mood to go to the nightclub to have fun at night?" Harry said while observing Old Master¡¯s facial expression. "You mean Eudora George?" Old Master Granger asked. "Yup, it''s her! Samantha said she grazed her car in the parking lot yesterday. After that, the news came out this morning. I''m afraid it''s not a coincidence! Anyway, I''ve already asked her to apologize to Eudora today." Old Master Granger knew the hidden meaning behind his lines. However, he wouldn''t say it out. He asked Harry to leave instead, "All right. I understand. You can go out now." "Oh, there''s one more thing. Steven is recruited into Valiant East with his own effort. Why don''t we have a meal together to celebrate?" "You can arrange it then!" Old Master Granger said. "Great!" After saying that, Harry went out happily and closed the door behind him. Old Master put down his calligraphy brush and his face sank. It was obvious that Harry wanted to show off in front of Amos. The first thing he did was to inform Amos. Eudora initially wanted to go to the construction site to have a look, but as she was leaving, she received an anonymous phone call. After picking up the call, the voice from the other side of the phone said, "Hello, Miss George. I''m the housekeeper of Granger Mansion. Mr. Granger asked me to inform you toe over for dinner tonight." Eudora was stunned. "Is it Amos who invited me?" she asked. "Yes!" the housekeeper replied. After hanging up the phone, Eudora felt that something was amiss. She quickly gave Amos a phone call. However, Amos¡¯ phone was switched off. It seemed that something had really happened. Eudora got off work early. Then, she dressed up and got ready to go for dinner. Eudora arrived at the Granger Mansion. However, someone grabbed her arm as soon as she got out of the car. "Why are you here?" Eudora turned around and saw Amos. She couldn''t help butin, ¡°Hey! I couldn¡¯t reach you on the phone. Your housekeeper had asked me to attend this dinner." Amos frowned and said, "I''ll ask Clint to send you back immediately." Harry came out of the mansion when they were talking. "Hey, why don''t youe in since you''re here? It¡¯s a celebration dinner. The more the merrier," he said. It seemed that this had something to do with the family from the second wife. They knew that Old Master Granger didn''t like Eudora. Why did they still ask her here? Nothing good woulde from this! "No. I have to go back first. I just remember I have something to do!" Amos rejected. However, the housekeeper came out as soon as Amos turned around to leave. The housekeeper said, "Young Master, Miss George, Old Master is waiting for both of you!" Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Old Master Granger was already notified about their arrival. It seemed that they had no choice but to go into the mansion. Eudora George frowned and said, "I''m sorry, I''ve caused you trouble again." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Amos Granger shook his head. "It''s not your fault," he said. After entering the mansion, they realised that the whole yard was in a celebratory atmosphere. It was still early for dinner. Therefore, everyone gathered in the living room and chatted. Steven Granger was a little proud of himself. He kept on telling Kaylene Yoder and the others about those tough questions he had during the interview session. Harry Granger heard what Steven said when he entered the mansion. He couldn''t help but tease him, "Well, I didn''t even have those difficult questionsst time." Eudora couldn''t help but let out a muffledugh. "It must be you who did it, right?" How could she still be in the mood tough at this time, Amos thought. Then, he sighed and said, "If they make things difficult for youter..." "I''m not afraid!" Eudora straightened her back and said, "I''ve seen worse in the Meyer family. Don''t worry!" Everyone stopped talking when they saw Amos and Eudora walking into the mansion. Samantha was unhappy when she saw Eudora holding on to Amos¡¯ arm. Amos would normally keep at least half a meter away from others. But Eudora was able to get so close to Amos! Steven greeted Amos and went upstairs. Amos thought for a moment and said, "Let¡¯s greet Dad together!" In the backyard, Old Master Granger was feeding the fish beside the pond. A servant was holding a tray of fish food and following him closely from behind. Old Master Granger said the moment they approached him, ¡°Amos, please wait for me in the study room." Amos took a nce at Eudora. He didn''t move at all. Old Master Granger noticed Amos'' averted gaze. He said, "Are you afraid that I will do anything bad to her?" Amos acknowledged. He squeezed Eudora¡¯s hand, then turned around and left. Eudora stood at the same spot for a while. She mustered her courage and walked over. She stood behind Old Master Granger and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?" ¡®Sir?¡¯ Old Master Granger thought. He stopped feeding the fish and said, "Well, it¡¯s good that you know what to do. But, like I had said before, you do not bring any advantage to Amos." "Why do you think so?" Eudora asked. She felt that Amos was much happier than before. "I don''t need to tell you what kind of person Amos used to be. I believe you should know. I won''t mention the incident in which Amos protected you from being beatenst time. I guess you have already known about the news this morning. As you can see, Amos doesn¡¯t even care about the reputation of this family because of you." Old Master Granger couldn¡¯t help being agitated when he recalled reading the news from the paper. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She said, "Are you trying to say that Amos was behind the news this morning..." She didn''t finish her words because she could already guess the answer. It was no wonder that Amos seemed to know that Samantha woulde to the restaurant today. It turned out that these were all part of his n. "How much?" Old Master Granger asked again, interrupting her thoughts. "What?" Eudora couldn''t react in time. "How much do you need so that you¡¯ll leave Amos?" Old Master Granger asked. Eudora frowned. She blurted out, "I don''t want any money!" "Oh, you don¡¯t want any money? Isn''t it a deal between you and Amos? Well, there¡¯s always money involved in a deal. Tell me, how much is it? I¡¯ll pay you now. After that, please leave immediately!" Eudora''s face was pale. "Yes, it''s a deal. But, there¡¯s no money involved in this deal. I won¡¯t leave Amos unless he asks me to do so!" "Haha!" Old Master Granger sneered. "I''ve guessed that you¡¯re not a simple person. Are you aiming for our property if you don¡¯t want any money? Are you trying to be the Young Madam of the Granger family? With your family background and your history, do you think it''s possible?" he continued. He spoke directly and calmly. However, it was an insult no matter which tone he used. Eudora clenched her fists and said, "Old Master Granger, I respect you because you¡¯re Amos¡¯ father. Nothing more. You might look down on my family background and what happened to me in the past. But, I treasure these a lot and you have no right to judge! As for you, well, to be honest, you''re not a good father since you have always interfered with your son¡¯s love life!" Old Master Granger was consumed by anger. He shouted, "How dare you!..." All of a sudden, someone screamed in the front yard before he could speak further. A servant ran over quickly and shouted, "Oh no! Something happened to the First Young Master!" Old Master Granger was shocked. He asked, "What happened?" "First Young Master suddenly passed out..." the servant said. Eudora ran out immediately before the servant could finish her words. Old Master Granger looked at Eudora¡¯s fleeing figure and frowned. Then, he said, "Please call the doctor." Amos was resting in his bedroom when Eudora arrived. Samantha was standing at the door absent-mindedly. She didn''t look good. However, no one paid attention to her now. Everyone was worried about Amos. Eudora was stopped by Harry when she rushed towards the bedroom. "Hey! How could you simply run around in the Granger Mansion?" Harry said. Eudora frowned and wanted to say something. However, she noticed that the housekeeper and the Old Master Granger had entered the room with the doctor. Eudora knew that he still had Amos'' best interests at heart, and definitely would not harm him. Thinking about this, Eudora was slightly relieved. Kaylene couldn''t help but mutter in a low voice when everyone was waiting outside, "It''s not good for Amos to live outside alone. No one knows if some people take the opportunity to do something to him!" She was insulting Eudora indirectly. Upon hearing this, Harry supported Kaylene, "Brother, what Kaylene said is right." Old Master Granger was not pleased. He said, "Please ask Miss George to leave." The servants surrounded Eudora as soon as Old Master Granger gave the order. How could Eudora leave at this moment? Amos'' safety was the top priority for now. All of a sudden, the doctor pushed the door open and came out while they were arguing. Old Master Granger got up anxiously and asked, "How is he?" Dr. Leon shook his head and said with a serious look on his face, "Old Master Granger, First Young Master''s condition is really peculiar. I¡¯ve never seen it before!" "What?" Old Master Granger took a step back. "How could it be possible? We¡¯ve never encountered this kind of disease before too." Eudora took a nce at Amos and saw the rashes on his face. Her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she said to the doctor, "Can I have a try?" The doctor was stunned. "Is this youngdy also a doctor?" he asked. Eudora shook her head and replied, "I''m not a doctor, but I''ve seen such a disease before. Please let me try." "No way!" Harry stopped her. "You¡¯ve no medical knowledge at all. Why are you making trouble here?" He didn¡¯t believe that Eudora could cure a disease. No matter what, he had to stop her. Eudora ignored him and looked at the doctor. She pleaded, "Please let me have a try!" Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "Have you really seen this type of disease before?" the doctor asked. "Yes!" Eudora George replied. "The patient has red rashes all over the body. It looks like urticaria from the surface but it is not." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "That''s right!" the doctor nodded his head and said, "Old Master Granger, I think this youngdy may have a way to cure this disease. Why don''t we let her have a try?" Old Master Granger looked at Eudora nkly. After a long while, he nodded his head and said, "Let¡¯s give it a try then." Upon hearing this, Eudora hurried in. She tried her best to recall how she treated Amos thest time. "Can you please get me some warm water and a soft towel?" Eudora requested. Upon hearing this, the servants looked at the housekeeper. They did not know whether they should do ording to what she said or not. After the housekeeper gave them the green light, the servants hurried to prepare everything that Eudora had asked for. While waiting, Eudora squatted at the bedside and held Amos¡¯ hand. "Amos, can you hear me?" she asked. However, Amos seemed to have passed out. He did not react at all. Eudora had no choice but to grab his arm and massaged him gently. The doctor reminded her immediately, "Miss George, be careful not to get infected..." However, Eudora ignored him and continued to massage him. Eudora was very anxious when she realised that the rash was more serious this time. Fortunately, the servant came in with warm water just in time. Eudora soaked the clean towel into the warm water, wrung it and wiped Amos¡¯ face. She stopped when she was about to wipe his body because there were a lot of people surrounding them. "I''m sorry, can you all please go out first?" Eudora asked. Harry Granger disapproved. He said, "We are all Amos¡¯ family. Who gives you the right to ask us to go out? What if you do something bad to Amos?" "Enough!" Old Master Granger said. Then, he threw a meaningful look at the doctor. "Please help me to assist Miss George. As for the rest of you, follow me out!" "Brother!" Harry was reluctant to go out. However, there was nothing he could do since the Old Master Granger had instructed them to do so. Eudora unbuttoned Amos¡¯ shirt when everyone had left the room. The doctor was shocked to see the rashes all over his body. "This is so serious!" the doctor said shockingly. "Could you please give me a hand?" Eudora said. The doctor came back to his senses and looked at Eudora with admiration. "Miss, aren''t you afraid?" he asked. Eudora shook her head. Then, she wrung the towel again and wiped Amos¡¯ body. After that, she held Amos¡¯ hand and whispered, "Amos..." Amos moved his finger slightly. Eudora was delighted. She asked, "Are you awake?" The doctor was also very excited. "Young Master, how do you feel?" Amos didn''t say anything. Eudora asked immediately, "Do you feel itchy again?" After saying that, she asked the servant to bring some ice cubes so that she could massage him with the ice cubes. The doctor just stood there observing Eudora. He couldn¡¯t believe it when he saw that the rashes had started to clear up as Eudora was massaging him. He could no longer hold back his feelings. He pushed through the door and went out. "How is it going?" Old Master Granger asked anxiously. "It''s amazing!" the doctor said, "I''ve never seen such a miraculous situation before. The Young Master''s rashes have cleared up under the care of Miss George." Upon hearing this, Harry was unhappy. He said, "Could it be that the rashes were not so serious?" "How is this possible!" the doctor said angrily. "Second Master Granger, you¡¯ re insulting my profession." Harry had no choice but to shut up. Doctor Leon was indeed a professional doctor. Harry did not dare to offend him because even Old Master Granger had to respect him. Old Master Granger frowned. He asked, "What¡¯s the cause of this disease?" The doctor frowned and said. "Well, ording to my experience, this disease is really peculiar. It could be caused by psychological factors as well. By the way, the Young Master has already woken up. You can ask him about the specifics." What the doctor had said sent a shiver down Samantha¡¯s spine. She quickly lowered her head and was about to go out. All of a sudden, the door was pushed open. Amos shouted, "Don¡¯t let her escape!" Samantha wanted to run away. However, the servants had surrounded her. Samantha had to ask Harry for help, "Dad, Mom! Please help me!" Harry was dumbfounded. He asked, "What''s going on?" Amos snorted and said, "You can ask Samantha." "Say it!" Old Master Granger said in a threatening manner. "I didn''t do anything. I just saw Amos... Second Brother in the study room. I wanted to pour him a cup of tea, but he pushed me away. Then, he became like this." This was ridiculous! How could Old Master Granger believe it? "I won¡¯t give you a second chance if you don''t tell the truth now. We¡¯ll know what happened from the surveince footage!" Samantha''s face turned pale. "I..." She didn¡¯t know what to say. Then, she asked Steven and the family members of the second wife for help, "Dad, Mom, Brother! Please believe in me!" Harry and Kaylene had already realized what was going on. Therefore, they wouldn¡¯t help Samantha. Steven wanted to help but was stopped by Kaylene. Samantha was disappointed. She could only tell the truth. "Uncle, I really didn''t do anything. I just identally touched Second Brother''s hand when I handed over the tea." "Well, it seems like you really don''t want to tell the truth!" Old Master Granger shouted. "Uncle, I''ll tell you the truth. I also... hugged Second Brother... But, how could it be possible for me to transmit the disease to him by hugging him for a while? It must be Eudora who did this! She¡¯s living together with Second Brother!" Eudora was also shocked. She did cure Amos'' rashes by ident before. However, she always thought that it was just a coincidence. Unexpectedly, she cured him again now. ording to Samantha, she had just touched Amos for a while, yet Amos developed rashes from this. Eudora had been living together with Amos every day. They even had intimate physical contact. Why were both of them all right? Old Master Granger was confused as well. However, he could tell that Samantha was not lying this time. Moreover, all of them had seen that Amos¡¯ rashes clear up after Eudora helped to wipe him down and massaged him. "What the hell is going on? Amos, Doctor Leon, please follow me to the study room!" Before leaving, Amos held Eudora''s hand and said, "I''ll be back soon." Samantha was smoldered with anger when she saw their interaction. "Eudora, you b*tch! What did you do?" Eudora frowned and asked her back. "Wasn¡¯t it you who did something?" No one dared to be too presumptuous when Old Master Granger was here just now. Everyone threw a strange look at Samantha after Old Master Granger left. Although Samantha was not Harry¡¯s biological daughter, she was still considered as Amos¡¯ rtive. How could she openly seduce Amos at home? What''s more, she even caused a big trouble to Amos. How could she me others now? Samantha noticed the sarcastic looks on everyone''s face. She was so angry that she plunged towards Eudora. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Eudora George reacted quickly. She managed to avoid Samantha Cooper'' s attack. In the end, Samantha missed Eudora and fell to the ground. However, she still wanted to cause trouble. Harry Granger shouted at her. "Don''t you think you have caused enough trouble?" Samantha covered her face with her hand and cried. Upon seeing this, Kaylene cleared her throat, then walked over, and helped Samantha to get up. "Okay, stop crying. Your father didn''t mean to scold you. He¡¯s just angry now," Kaylene said. Amos Granger came back when they were talking. He looked at Eudora to make sure she was all right. Then, he said, "Second Uncle, Dad asked you to go in." Harry and Kaylene looked at each other after hearing what Amos said. Kaylene whispered, "Brother is very angry now. Be careful when you speak." Harry nodded his head. Then, he turned around and walked into the study room. Amos whispered, "Did they bully you?" Eudora raised her head and said, "Do you think I''m so easily bullied?" "Haha... such a wild kitten," Amos replied. Although they were speaking softly, but the joy on Amos¡¯ face was obvious. Upon seeing this, Samantha was even angrier. After a short while, Harry came out. He looked very unhappy. Samantha hurried over. "Dad..." "Samantha, please move out and stay outside temporarily!" he said. Samantha was stunned. "Why?" She asked in disbelief. "Do you still have the nerve to ask me why?" Harry said angrily. Kaylene said immediately, "Samantha, it¡¯ s better for you to move out for now. The family is in a mess now. I'' II pick you up again when your uncle is no longer angry." Samantha wanted to protest. However, Harry had already turned around and left. Kaylene patted the back of Samantha''s hand and said, "I¡¯ll ask someone to pack your things for you." Then, she followed Harry and left. Samantha red at Eudora and said, "Well, are you satisfied? Don''t even think of bing the young madam in this family after chasing me away. You are just a..." She swallowed the rest of her words all of a sudden. She was still traumatized by thest incident when she insulted Eudora. In the end, she snorted and left. Eudora sighed and said, "Your family is quite lively huh!" Amos burst intoughter and said, "Do you regret being together with me now?" "Yes. So what are you going to do about it?" Eudora said while smiling. "How dare you..." Amos said. After arguing for a while, Eudora suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask Amos. "Did you really develop the rash after Samantha hugged you?" Amos frowned. He was disgusted by what happened just now. "But we..." Eudora stopped talking suddenly. "Yes, what about us?" Amos couldn¡¯t help but tease her when he saw her blushing. "Nothing!" she said. "Really? Why are you blushing then?" Amos said with a smile. "Hey! You..." Eudora covered her face with her hand. "You knew what I was going to ask, but you acted like you didn''t know!" Amos smiled. After a while, he suddenly became serious. "Well, I don''t know either!" Eudora was stunned. Amos continued, "Before I met you, I thought I would never meet another woman who could have physical contact with me for the rest of my life." It was only now that Eudora finally understood why Amos wanted to be together with Eudora although he had only met her once. Was that the only reason he agreed to their deal? Because she was the only one he could have physical contact with? Eudora somehow felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. "Amos, let''s go back!" Eudora said suddenly. "All right!" After saying that, Amos stood up. Old Master Granger came out of the study room when they were leaving. "Don''t leave. I''ve asked the housekeeper to prepare a room for you. Both of you please move back home for the time being. I''ve asked someone to contact the doctor. The doctor will do a full body check- up for Amos," Old Master Granger said. Amos frowned and said, "There''s nothing wrong with my body." "The doctor will know if you are really in good health or not after the full body check-up." He paused for a moment and said, "Eudora will be staying here too." Eudora was really surprised that this stubborn old man was willing to let her stay here. It would actually be good if Amos could receive treatment. "Old Master is right. You''d better stay here and receive some treatment!" Eudora said. Finally, Amos nodded and said, "All right then." The housekeeper tidied up the rooms immediately. The rooms were located on the third floor. They were not staying in the same room. Eudora was fine with it. The dinner ended earlier due to Amos'' incident. The housekeeper asked the servants to send some supper into the rooms. After settling down, Eudoray on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze. She felt a little regretful. Had she known she was going to be stay for the night, she would have brought herptop here so that she could continue with her project. ''Ah, forget about it. I¡¯m quite tired as well,¡¯ she thought. Eudora took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she lifted the quilt and was shocked. "Amos? How did you get in?" she asked in astonishment. "You didn¡¯t lock the door!" Amosughed. Eudora walked over and checked the door. It was really not locked. "Please go out now," she said. Amos did not move at all. He said, "I miss you." Eudora was speechless. Since when Amos became so bold with his words? However, it was undeniable that her heart skipped when she heard what Amos said. Eudora frowned and said, "Old Master Granger will hate me for good if he knows you¡¯re here!" Amos didn''t care at all. He said, "Do you think he doesn¡¯t know? He and his temper!" After saying that, he patted on the bed and said, "Come sit here. I''ll blow dry your hair." Eudora was discouraged for a while. What Amos said was right. Old Master Granger was well aware of everything. What else could he possibly not know? Forget about it! Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. She walked over and handed the hairdryer to him. Then, she leaned on Amos¡¯ legs. Eudora felt at ease when Amos was blowing her hair with the hair dryer. Amos had been helping her to blow dry her hair and watched her fall asleep for many nights. "Eudora?" Amos suddenly called her name. Eudora was half asleep when she replied softly, ¡°Yes?" "I want to kiss you!" Amos said with a serious tone. He felt that he could no longer lose Eudora after what had happened today. Amos frowned and called her again, "Eudora?" This time, he could only hear her steady breathing sound. Amos was speechless. He was flirting with her. How could she fall asleep? After putting down the hairdryer, Amos lowered his head and kissed her lips. He kissed her harder on purpose. The sensation made Eudora groan inadvertently. Taking advantage of this, he deepened the kiss. Eudora was awakened by this. She asked in a daze, "Amos, what are you doing?" "What do you think?" Amos replied. Then, he bent over and press her down. They made love into the night with the sound of the hair dryer in the background. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 The next day, Old Master Granger invited a group of famous doctors to give his son a full body checkup. However, the result showed that Amos had no problem at all. Old Master Granger once again told the doctors about Amos'' condition yesterday. Upon hearing this, the doctors were confused as well. One of them said, "Well, I¡¯ve never encountered such a situation before. There must be a cause for this if the rash was really so severe." The other doctors also nodded their heads. They said, "Likewise. We''ve never seen this before too. Perhaps this is due to psychological factors since you mentioned that there is one person who could cure his rash. She might be the key to the illness." After the doctors left, Old Master Granger felt frustrated. Eudora George thought that the Old Master was just concerned over his son''s health. While she was watching him, Old Master Granger suddenly lost his bnce. Eudora held him immediately and said, "Please be careful, Old Master." Old Master Granger looked at Eudora intently. Then, he continued to walk away. Eudora sighed after Old Master Granger left. She said, "I feel that he really cares about you." Amos Granger smiled tly and said, "What he cares about the most is that no one will inherit his She guessed every family had their own problems! Eudora did not say anything anymore. Amos began to put on his clothes. Eudora was stunned. She asked, "Where are you going?" "Office," Amos replied. After he said that, Eudora jumped up and eximed, "Ah! I''mte for work!" However, her things were still at Clearwater Bay. Amos was speechless. Silly girl. "I have to leave first! I¡¯m reallyte," Eudora said and dashed out. Amos grabbed her hand and said, "I''ll give you a ride." In the end, Eudora finally arrived at thepany on time. Christopher Gellert was waiting for her in her seat. Eudora was embarrassed when she saw him. T m sorry. I overlooked the time," Eudora apologized. Christopher looked at his watch and said, "It''s fine. It''s still not toote. Let''s go to the construction site now," he said. "Are you going to the construction site too?" Eudora was surprised. "Why? Can''t I go too? After all, this is the first time that ourpany has received such a big project. I¡¯ m quite concerned about it," Christopher said. That''s true! After that, Eudora followed him out. There was amotion at the construction site when they arrived. Eudora and Christopher looked at each other. Then, they hurried over immediately. "What''s wrong?" they asked. "The rope broke when they were moving the debris down. Someone was hit!" Christopher''s face turned pale. He rushed to the scene immediately. This was the first time Eudora had seen Christopher so nervous. Without further dy, she dialed 911. The scene was aplete mess. The worker was lying there with blood all over his body. Eudora¡¯s heart trembled at the sight of this. The workers gathered around Christopher and asked, "Boss, what should we do?" The wife of the worker was sitting next to him. Her hair was in a mess. She sat there in a daze. There were two young children holding onto her legs. Eudora couldn''t bear to see it. Therefore, she stepped forward to help the woman to get up. She said, "Please get up first. The ambnce ising soon." The woman looked up and stared nkly at Eudora. Eudora shuddered. She could see hopelessness in the woman¡¯s eyes. Eudora inexplicably thought of the time when she was in the Meyer family. She felt a pang of sadness. Then she said, "Sister, don''t worry. Everything will be fine." The woman ignored her and lowered her head again. She continued to stare at her lifeless husband. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. The ambnce arrived very quickly. Eudora and Christopher followed them to the hospital. Everyone was waiting outside the emergency room. Eudora took out a tissue and handed it to the woman when she realised the woman¡¯s face was covered with dust. However, the woman didn''t ept it. So Eudora retracted her hand. The two children didn''t seem to be as frightened as before. The older child felt that Eudora was a good person. Therefore, he asked, "Auntie, will my father wake up?" The child was asking with an innocent look on his face. This made Eudora feel sad. She reached out her hand and stroked his head. Then, she nodded and said, "Yes, he will!" Upon hearing this, the child seemed to be very happy. After thinking for a while, he took out a small peanut from his pocket and handed it to Eudora. He said, "This is for you." Eudora took it with mixed feelings. After a long while, the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor shook his head and said, ¡°We''ve tried our best." Eudora¡¯s heart sank. The next second, the woman, who had been silent all the while, suddenly burst into tears. Eudora¡¯s heart ached when she saw this. She hurried over to hold her. But she was pushed away by the two children. The older child punched Eudora and said, "You liar! Bring back my father!" Eudora did not know what to say when they were using her. How could she exin to the children that this was all an ident? Christopher rushed over to protect Eudora. His sudden movement triggered one of the children. The child grabbed Eudora¡¯s hand and bit on it. Eudora felt a sharp pain. The peanut in her hand fell to the ground. Themotion ended when their mother fainted because she was overwhelmed by her emotions. Christopher sent her into the ward immediately. Then, he turned around to apologize to Eudora. "Are you okay? Let me take you to get treatment for your wound." Eudora shook her head and said, "It¡¯s okay. Have you found out why this happened? Christopher gave a wry smile and said, "I guess this is my fate. It was said that the rope was broken. The police had taken it back for further investigation. The result will be out soon." Eudora nodded her head. She said when she realised Christopher was still worried about this, "Don¡¯t worry..." However, her mobile phone suddenly rang. Right after she answered, Amos said anxiously, "Where are you now? I heard that something happened at your construction site?" That was fast, Eudora thought. Eudora nodded and replied, "I''m still at the hospital." "Please wait for me there." After saying that, Amos hung up the phone. Eudora sat on the chair in a daze. Images of the innocent look of the child shed across her mind. All of a sudden, she blurted out, "What would happen to the family if this incident has nothing to do with us?" Christopher was stunned. "Do you feel sorry for them?" he asked. She couldn¡¯ t exin. Perhaps it was herpassion for the family. Christopher gave a wry smile and said," I guess you probably don¡¯t know that Everpeace is just an empty shell. Everyone in Rosaville City knows that I, the Young Master of the Gellert family, is not favoured by the family. Initially, I took over Everpeace because I wanted to prove myself. But now..." Eudora frowned. She had heard about the Gellert family. She felt that it was very simr to the situation in her family. Christopher''s father loved his new wife, who was a youngdy. He also loved the two children he had with the young wife. However, he didn''t really care much about Christopher. "I¡¯m sorry! I''m sure this matter will be solved soon," Eudora said. She patted Christopher on the shoulder tofort him. The next second, Amos arrived. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Amos Granger stared at Christopher Gellert''s shoulder for two seconds. Then, he walked over and held Eudora George¡¯s hand. He frowned instantly when he saw the teeth mark on Eudora¡¯s arm. He asked, "What happened?" Eudora covered the mark with her hand immediately and said, "Oh, nothing. During themotion earlier, I identally..." "Let''s go. We need to disinfect your wound," Amos said. "There¡¯s no need..." But before she could finish her words, Amos carried her up. They were in the corridor so Eudora immediatelypromised. "Okay, put me down. I''ll go with you!" Upon hearing this, Amos put her down and took her to the outpatient clinic. Christopher stared at them and narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he stood up and eximed, "Eudora, you can get off work first. We''ll talk about it tomorrow." Since Christopher had said so, and there was nothing else to do in the hospital, Eudora followed Amos back after receiving treatment. It was alreadyte when they returned to the Granger Mansion. The whole family was sitting in the living room. Seeing theming back, Kaylene Yoder couldn''t help but snort, "The whole family is waiting for both of you for dinner! Can¡¯t you at least inform us if you were going to bete? Amos, I can understand that you might forget to inform us because you''re so busy. But can¡¯t the person next to you remind you also?" Amos frowned and said, "Second Aunt, have you mistaken the time? It''s not the time for dinner yet, right?" Kaylene wanted to make things difficult for Eudora. However, she did not expect Amos to defend her. She felt humiliated. Harry Granger said, "Amos, since when do you care about this petty matter. Pleasee over. I have something to talk to you about." Amos was unhappy. He said, "Uncle, I don¡¯t have anything to talk to you." Harry was angered by his words. However, he could not lose his temper in front of the Old Master. In the end, Bethany Hamilton tried to make peace. She said, "It¡¯s not easy to have Amos home for a few days. Let¡¯s just stop arguing. I''ll ask the servants to serve the dishes for dinner." Finally, everyone stopped talking. They got up and walked to the dining area. Amos turned around and saw Eudora smiling at him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s wrong?" "Nothing. I just suddenly feel that you look really manly," Eudora said. Was that apliment? Amos thought. Then, he frowned and asked, "Does it mean that I wasn''t manly to you before?" "Of course you were always manly to me, but you are even more so now," Eudora replied. "You cunning little fox! You like the feeling of me protecting you, huh?" Amos asked. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat when Amos flirted with her. "Who doesn''t like to be protected?" she asked him back. "Then, remember to perform better tonight!" he said. "You rascal!" Eudora cried. Eudora went back to the room after dinner. She was still worried about what had happened today. She took out her mobile phone to browse the news. The news had gone viral. Lots of people were scolding the boss for causing the death of the employee. Everpeace was in big trouble! Amos pushed the door open and entered the room when Eudora was reading the news. Hey down beside Eudora, ying with her long hair. Unexpectedly, Eudora ignored him today. Amos took Eudora''s mobile phone away and asked, "What are you looking at?" Eudora quickly grabbed her mobile phone back. She said, "Hey! I haven''t finished reading yet." Amos frowned and asked, "Are you worried that Everpeace will get into big trouble?" "How can I not be worried? I like this job very much..." Eudora replied. "Well, you can work in Valiant East!" Amos said while smiling. "The design department at Valiant East has a lot of projects that are suitable for you." Eudora shook her head and said, "No. I want toplete this project." "What about me?" Amos said. Then, he pressed her down immediately. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Hey!" Eudoraughed. "Well, work is more important than you!" "Eudora George!" Amos gnashed his teeth and gave her a hard p on her buttock. "I''m sorry, I was wrong, okay? You''re more important than work! Ah..." Eudora couldn¡¯t even finish her words. The rest of the words were all swallowed by passionate kisses. The next day, Eudora saw her white POLO parked in front of the entrance. "Oh, my car is fixed?" Eudora eximed happily. "Yes! President Granger also had asked the workshop to change the windows and the car body to more durable materials. He also asked them to install an rm and GPS tracking system inside." Clint Zuckerberg showed her what he had just mentioned. Eudora was surprised, "Wow! Isn''t this too much?" "No, it isn¡¯t!" Clintughed. "President Granger said that safety is the most important thing," Clint added. Eudora was touched at what Amos had done for her. She said, "Please help me to thank President Ganger on my behalf." "Well..." Clint smiled sheepishly and said, "I''m afraid that President Granger would like to hear you thank him in person." That''s true. Eudora nodded her head and said. ¡°All right then!" After expressing her gratitude to Clint, Eudora got into her car and started the car engine. The tie she had boughtst time was still in the back seat. Eudora opened it to check. It was still in good condition. After putting it away, she drove to herpany. Eudora could feel something was wrong when she entered thepany. Christopher''s secretary approached her when she just sat down at her desk. She got up immediately and asked, "Where is President Gellert?" "President Gellert is on his way here. We received a phone call from the police station just now. The results of the investigation came out. The police had confirmed that the rope was the problem. We tried to contact the rope manufacturer but we found out that thepany had shut down.¡± Eudora¡¯s heart sank. They couldn¡¯t escape the impending problems. The secretary''s phone rang again. She was so shocked after she answered the phone call. "What? The victim''s family is going to jump off the building?" "Eudora, what should we do?" the secretary asked Eudora. "I''ll go to the hospital now. Please get President Gellert to go to the hospital too," Eudora replied. They had lost one life from this incident. The consequences would be unimaginable if they lost another three more lives. After saying that, Eudora went downstairs immediately. At the hospital, from a distance Eudora could see the mother and children standing on the rooftop of the building. Doctors, nurses and patients had gathered below the building. The policemen had arrived as well. However, they could only stand on the periphery of the top floor, not daring to act hastily. Eudora met Christopher, who had also rushed over at the main entrance. They exchanged a look nervously. After announcing their identities to the policemen, they went up to the top floor from the back door. A policeman was negotiating with the woman. "Please don''t do anything stupid. What happens to your children if anything happens to you?" The two children were hugging the woman''s thighs like yesterday. There were confused and fearful looks on their faces. There was no expression on the woman''s face. She said with a hoarse voice, "My husband is dead and the manufacturer has run away. What hope do we have?" The policeman said immediately, "You''re wrong. Everpeace is also involved in this, and as long as thepany is still here, they will help you." "You''re lying!" the woman shouted. "The businessmen are all the same!" Chapter 54 Chapter 54 After saying that, the woman held the two children in her arms and walked to the edge of the rooftop. Eudora George''s legs went weak when she thought of the height of this building. It was more than ten floors! The two children were still young. They looked as if they would fall from the building when the strong wind blew on them. Eudora''s heart quivered. She said, "Sister, please don''t act rashly. The children are innocent!" The woman had gone crazy. She didn''t care about whether the children were innocent or not. She just stood there with two children in her arms and said, "People like you don¡¯t understand my situation! I must bring my children along and leave this world together with me because they''re innocent. They''re still so young, without their father, they¡¯ll suffer in the future. I don¡¯t want them to be hopeless like me!" The woman''s words hit hard on everyone¡¯ s conscience. "No!" Eudora was anxious. "I understand your feelings! But, it¡¯s not easy for the children toe into this world. You have no right to end their life." Christopher Gellert, who was standing behind Eudora, was extremely nervous too. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, she¡¯s right. It''s not the end of the road yet. Also, we didn¡¯t say that we would abandon you." "How are you going topensate me? Don''t you try to fool me. I''ve already asked around and discovered that the manufacturer who had run away is responsible for this. Yourpany only bears a small responsibility in this incident. Losing a life on a construction site might mean nothing to you. But, for people like us, it is the end of the world!" Christopher frowned and said, "We are also as vulnerable as you are when things like this happen. I believe we cane up with a solution as long as we are still alive..." "Vulnerable? Are you vulnerable?" What Christopher had said seemed to trigger her. She suddenly went berserk. Eudora wanted to approach her to take the two children away. Unfortunately, the woman realised what Eudora was going to do. She grabbed Eudora¡¯s arm and asked, "What do you want to do?" Eudora was at the edge of the rooftop. She shivered with fear but tried to calm herself down. "Please hand over the children to me," Eudora said. "No way!" the woman screamed and grabbed Eudora by the neck. She continued, ''TII bring you along with me since you¡¯ re part of thepany. This couldpensate for my husband¡¯s life!" As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned all her strength and pushed Eudora down. Christopher attempted to rush over but another person dashed over at lightning speed and grabbed Eudora¡¯s arm seconds before she fell. Eudora thought that she was really going to die. However, when she looked up, she saw Amos appeared out of nowhere. "Amos!" "Don¡¯t talk. Hold on tight to my hands," Amos said. The woman was scared when she saw someone was really going to fall off the building. The policemen seized this opportunity to pull the woman and the two children back to safety. The other policemen also quickly helped Amos to pull Eudora up. As soon as she reached the ground on the rooftop, she threw herself into Amos¡¯ arms. This had really scared the living daylights out of her! Amos let her hug him for a while. Then, he said to Christopher, "I''ll take her back!" Christopher felt very guilty. He didn''t manage to protect his own staff. He nodded and said, "Sure, have a good rest for a few days." Before Eudora left, she saw the woman wailing while holding her two children. Eudora was really not in a good mood when she went back. She was still traumatised by the incident. Amos didn¡¯t take her back to Granger Mansion. He sent her back to Clearwater Bay instead. Amos carried Eudora when they got out of the car but Eudora was not responsive. She only came back to her senses when Amos carried her into the bathroom. She asked, "What are you doing?" "Take a bath!" Amos said. "I''ll do it myself," Eudora said. Amos chuckled and said, "This is not the first time. Let me help you!" Eudora decided to let him do what he wanted. Amos released water into the bathtub and added some essential oil into it. The smell was very soothing. Then, he carried her into the bathtub. Neither of them spoke. They leaned against each other quietly in the mostfortable position. The temperature of the water gradually dropped. Then, Amos got up and carried Eudora out of the bathtub. He wiped her body and carried her to the bathroom. The teeth mark on her arm had not recovered yet. However, there were a few more scratches now. While Amos was applying medicine on her wounds carefully, he suddenly noticed a small scar on her arm. The scar was not very deep. Perhaps that was why Amos didn''t notice it before this. It so happened Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. that the teeth mark was on the same spot as the scar. It became visible when the swelling subsided. Amos touched the scar gently and asked, "What caused this?" Eudora was half- asleep. She simply answered Amos, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s caused by an ident." "What ident?" Amos frowned. "Just an ident, it happened a long time ago..." Eudora said. As she spoke, her voice gradually faded away, and she eventually fell asleep. Amos smiled helplessly and thought, "What a silly girl." Amos¡¯ phone rang. Harley Louis said anxiously, "Amos, if I remember correctly, Eudora is working in Everpeace, right? I just heard from colleagues that something big happened at the hospital again this afternoon." "I know..." Amos replied. "Oh, you know about it! That''s good. Is she okay?" Harley continued to ask. Before he could finish speaking, Eudora suddenly shouted in her sleep, "Don¡¯t!" Amos frowned and Harley held his breath. After a long while, he burst intoughter, "It seems that she¡¯ s alright! I''m just worried about her. I''ll hang up the phone then. I won''t disturb you! Oh, by the way, Sister-inw is so skinny. Please try to be gentler to her!¡± Amos was at loss of words. After putting down the phone, Amos walked over slowly andy on the bed. He had never seen her this frightened before. Why was she so scared this time? Eudora seemed to realise that Amos was lying beside her. She leaned over, found afortable position in his arms and fell into a deep sleep. Amos was in an inexplicably good mood when he saw Eudora leaning towards him instinctively. Eudora slept for the whole afternoon. By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside. Amos was lying beside her, reading a book. It was very quiet in the room. Only the ticking sound of the wall clock could be heard. For some reason, she felt more at ease. She was no longer in fear. "You¡¯re awake?" Amos asked. "Yes!" Eudora nodded her head in reply. As she was getting up, she spotted a wound on Amos¡¯ arm. She was stunned. "Are you injured too?" How could Amos not be injured in such a critical situation? Eudora had neglected him because she was so traumatized just now. "Let me get the first aid box now..." Eudora said. "It¡¯s okay. I''ve already cleaned the wound myself," Amos said. "That''s not enough!" Eudora protested. Aunt Valerie suddenly shouted outside the door when they were talking, "Young Master, the Old Master is here." Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Why would Old Master Grangere here in the middle of the night? Both of them got up immediately. After changing their clothes, they went downstairs. The living room was brightly lit. Old Master Granger was sitting quietly on the big sofa in the middle of the living room. There were bodyguards standing behind him. "Dad!" Amos came forward and greeted him. Old Master Granger looked at him up and down immediately. In the end, he fixed his eyes on the wound on Amos¡¯ arm. "Sit down quick. Doctor William, please examine his wound carefully," Old Master Granger said. "It''s just a minor injury. I''ve already cleaned it," Amos said. However, Old Master Granger refused to let him go. He said, "You should take care of yourself carefully. Don''t forget your identity." He nced at Eudora briefly when he said this. Amos had no choice but to sit down and let Doctor William examine his wound. In the end, Doctor William said that it was only a minor injury and helped him change the bandage. Before leaving, Old Master Granger looked at Amos and said, "I won¡¯t force you if you don''t want to go back to the Granger Mansion. But, you kept forgetting your own duties because of a woman. I''m very disappointed in you." Amos remained calm while he listened to his father''s assertions. After Old Master Granger had finished what he wanted to say, Amos smiled faintly and said, "You''re right, I know I''m at fault too. So, I would like to ask for a month''s leave. Please approve it, chairman." Old Master Granger was so furious that he raised his head. Then, he said angrily, "Don''t think that I dare not approve it!" "I know you dare to do so. Well, didn''t Steven just joined thepany? Second Uncle has always wanted to achieve something to show off to you. I guess this would be a good opportunity for them," Amos said. "Amos!" Eudora, who was standing beside them, felt that the father and son were trying to annoy each other. She would feel bad if they were quarreling because of her. "Old Master, it''s all my fault. Please don''t me him," Eudora said. "This is between me and Amos, you have no right to interrupt! I''ll let him rest for one month if that''s what he wishes for!¡± After saying that, the old man turned to look at the assistant behind him and said, "Did you hear that? The president is taking a month off. Please issue a notice to thepany tomorrow. Harry will take over the job for the time being." The assistant looked at Amos awkwardly. Then, he looked at Old Master Granger who was consumed by anger. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll arrange it right away." After that, the Old Master left together with his bodyguards. "I''m sorry!" Eudora didn¡¯t know what else to say. "It''s all because of me..." Amos shook his head and said, "Well, don''t you think this would be better? I¡¯m so happy I can finally rest well for a month!" Eudora was speechless. "Why do you look like you¡¯ ve been looking forward to this?"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "Can''t I?" Amos asked her back. "Ah! Forget about it. It''s good to take the opportunity to have a good rest too!" Eudora said. "Will you apany me?" Amos asked with a smile. "I have to go to work. You have no ie now. I have to earn some money to support our family, right?" Eudora said. Earn money to support the family? Looking at Eudora¡¯s serious face, Amos couldn''t help but smile. He said, "The president receives their sry annually." "Oh!" Eudora paused. "What¡¯s the matter? Are you disappointed that you can''t earn money to support our family?" Amos asked. "Of course! Felix used to think that just because he gave me allowance monthly, he could do or instruct me to do anything! What nonsense! It''s just 10,000 dors a month. I will earn it soon enough!" Amos¡¯ heart ached when he heard this. He reached out his hand to stroke her head. Then, he said, "I believe in you. Treat me to a meal when you get a raise." "Sure!" Eudora nodded her head with a smile. "Before that, you have to let me ravish you first," Amos continued. "What?! Help!" Eudora turned around and ran. However, Amos grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. The next day, Eudora refused to rest at home. She insisted on going to work. Amos couldn''t persuade her. In the end, he allowed her to go to work after making sure that she was totally fine. However, there was no one in thepany. Eudora went around the office and then gave Christopher Gellert a call. "Thepany is on holiday?" Eudora asked in disbelief. Christopher was in a noisy ce. After pausing for a while, Christopher continued when he had walked to a quieter ce, "Why are you calling me? Are you feeling well already?" "It¡¯s just a minor injury. I¡¯m here in thepany. Where are the rest of the people?" Eudora asked. Christopher gave a wry smile and said, "Well, I guess ourpany is closing down soon. The manager of the project said he wanted to terminate the contract with ourpany after the incident went viral. Not only that, he even asked us topensate for his loss. He said that nobody will buy the houses anymore because of this incident." Eudora was shocked. "Where are you now?" "I was trying to fight for thepany, but I''ve failed. They insisted on suing us. Also, we¡¯ve lost all the money that we¡¯ve invested. I¡¯m sorry for this. I¡¯m afraid that ourpany will face bankruptcy before Amos takes over ourpany." "Hey, please don''t be like this..." Eudora was sad. Everpeace was not just her workce, she had special feelings for Everpeace because of herte mother. It was not easy for her to ept the fact that Christopher was the owner of Everpeace. But was she going to lose Everpeace forever now? After hanging up the phone, Eudora stood alone at the same spot for a long time. "No, we can''t give up," she said to herself. Thinking of this, she hurried downstairs and started the car engine. She drove to thepany who owned the project. Eudora saw Chirstopher being chased out of thepany when she arrived at the main entrance. Christopher was in a bad mood. He looked as if he would start a fight soon. Eudora walked over quickly and pulled him away. "President Gellert," she greeted him. Christopher¡¯s face was gloomy. This was the first time Eudora had seen Christopher like that. He didn¡¯ t look like a gentleman. Eudora could tell that the discussion did not go Eudora pursed her lips and said, "I''m a designer from Everpeace. Is it okay for me to see your manager?" The manager who was in charge of this project came out before Eudora could finish her words. The manager was quite polite to Eudora. Perhaps it was because he had been punished by Amosst time. The manager said, "Miss George, please don''t make things difficult for us. It''s not that we don''t want to help yourpany, but we really have no choice. Do you know how much we¡¯ve spent on these properties? How can we sell our houses after what has happened?" What he said was reasonable. Eudora knew she should not continue to pester him. It seemed that she was really going to say goodbye to Everpeace this time. All of a sudden, the manager said when Eudora turned around and was about to leave, "Miss George, there is actually one way to save yourpany. We may consider not suing yourpany if you manage to find someone to buy all the houses." Eudora froze. It was a usible solution. But... who on earth would be so dumb to do that? Who would buy the houses if they knew there were buying them at a loss? The manager continued to say when Eudora did not say anything. "Miss George, other people may not be able to do that. But, I think you can do it. I believe President Granger of Valiant East will definitely help you if you ask him for help." Chapter 56 Chapter 56 "Amos Granger." Eudora George thought. Eudora George shook her head immediately. "No! But thank you for your kindness," Eudora replied. There was indeed a deal between Amos and Eudora. However, the deal was only rted to the Meyer family¡¯s matter. Even after the Meyer family¡¯s matter was settled, she did not want to rely on Amos. She wanted to be independent. Eudora was satisfied even if this rtionship would onlyst for a year. What''s more, Amos got himself into trouble too. Both of them remained silent in the car when they were on their way back. After a long time, Christopher broke the silent. "Well, I guess my Second Brother and my stepmother willugh at me now. But, I''m not afraid of this. I''ve been used to this since I was young. So you don¡¯t have to worry about me." Eudora furrowed her brows. Christopher thought that she was still in a bad mood. Therefore, he continued, "You have a good foundation. You can have greater achievements after leaving thispany..." Eudora still didn''t say anything. Christopher frowned and asked, "Eudora? What''s wrong?" "I have an idea!" Eudora said suddenly. "I¡¯ve got it!" "What idea is that?" Christopher asked immediately. T ve got it. Can we change the houses in the residential area into warehouses?" Eudora asked. "Warehouses?" Christopher was a little surprised by this bold idea. "Yes. Rosaville City is by the sea. A new dock is currently under construction near the residential area. There will be a lot of goods on the dock and a huge warehouses are necessary to amodate the goods. If we can change the houses into warehouses, then no one will be concerned that someone had died there before," Eudora continued. Christopher''s eyes lit up. He quickly took out his mobile phone to search on the Inte. After a while, he put down his mobile phone and looked at Eudora with admiration. "There¡¯s really a new dock being constructed there. Wow! Eudora! You¡¯re amazing!" Christopher said. Eudora chuckled. She was not amazing. She just happened to read the newspaper with Amos every day. Because of that she knew a lot about the current affairs. "Although we havee up with this idea, we still need a lot of funds. I think thepany just now certainly doesn''t want to cooperate with us anymore. We must find anotherpany who is willing to coborate with us toplete this project as soon as possible," Eudora continued. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. This was quite tough. Besides Valiant East, there were only three to fourpanies left in Rosaville City who had the means to take over this project. The Gellert family was one of them. Christopher would definitely not ask the Gellert family for help. This was just like how Eudora was unwilling to ask Amos for help. Both of them were once again faced with a crisis. "No matter. Let''s try to ask for help from the other twopanies. Perhaps they¡¯ll agree with our n," Eudora said. This was better than not having any chance at all! Christopher nodded his head and asked the employees to return to thepany to prepare the proposal. After that, both of them went out with the new proposal in their hand. Amos Granger was ying golf at the golf course. He struck the ball from the tee and got a hole-in- one. Harley Louis emerged from behind Amos and pointed to the middle-aged man who was ying golf at the front. He said, "That¡¯s Thomas Shelby. He has been looking to get acquainted with you a while ago. Lately, he spends a lot of time with the First Young Master of the Cooper family." Amos narrowed his eyes and asked, "Oh, the Cooper family?" "Yes, it seems that the Cooper family sincerely wants to get close to him," Harley replied. Amos sneered and said, "Do you think Thomas will really cooperate with them? He is just trying to provoke me because I don¡¯t want to see him a while ago!" "Well, you''ve guessed it right. It¡¯s such a pity that Thomas still thinks that you¡¯re worried," Harley said. While they were talking, all of a sudden, Harley was stunned. "Why is sister-inw here?" he asked. Amos looked over and saw Eudoraing in together with Christopher. They had already visited anotherpany before this. However, the otherpany had rejected them. It took Christopher a lot of effort to find out that Jeremy Cooper, the First Young Master of the Cooper family, was ying golf here. Therefore, both of them came here immediately. This was theirst chance. Christopher walked over and greeted Jeremy when he was taking a break. "President Cooper!" Jeremy knew about the Gellert family''s situation. He also knew that no one treated Christopher well in the Gellert family. Jeremy just nodded his head slightly and said, "Oh, Christopher! I heard from your younger brother that you''re busy with your property development recently. Why are you free toe here today?" It seemed that Christopher had gotten used to this kind of situation. He was not angry. He smiled and said, "I¡¯vee here because of the project. President Cooper, you¡¯ re also a property developer, right? I happen to have a good proposal here, so I want you to have a look." Jeremy did not reject him immediately. Eudora thought he was giving it a thought. Therefore, she quickly handed over the documents in her hand. "Please have a look at it, President Cooper. This is our new n..." Eudora said. "Christopher!" Jeremy didn''t even look at Eudora. He said arrogantly, "I''ve been quite busy recently. Why don''t you ask your brother for help?" Christopher''s heart sank. He knew that this was not going to end well. Jeremy and his brother, John Gellert, were friends. Although Christopher knew about this, he didn''t want to give up. He just wanted to try his luck. ''T m sorry to disturb you!" After saying that, Christopher was about to leave. Eudora gritted her teeth and said, "President Cooper, would you like to take a look at this? Our project is really good. The profit margin will be high if we seed..." Jeremy picked up the document and smashed it on Eudora¡¯ s body before she could even finish speaking. There was a loud sound! Harley suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The next second, Amos was already walking towards Eudora. Eudora''s face was cut by the sharp edge of the document folder. Jeremy said casually, "Oh, I¡¯m sorry. I slipped." The next second, Amos rushed over and picked up the folder on the ground. Then, he threw the documents at Jeremy. There was a loud sound. Jeremy jumped from his seat. "Who dares to throw things at me?" Jeremy asked angrily. Amos pretended to look at Jeremy in surprise. "Oh, it¡¯s President Cooper! I''m so sorry. I was passing by when I saw a rude man throwing things around. I didn¡¯t expect the person to be you!" Jeremy¡¯s face darkened because he had lost his face in front of his potential client, Thomas Shelby. He was furious. "Amos Granger! Although I respect you all the time, that doesn¡¯t mean I''m afraid of you. You''re just an illegitimate child. Do you really think you could be the chairman of Valiant East?" Upon hearing this, Eudora was bbergasted. Amos Granger was an illegitimate child? How could it be possible?¡¯ Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Eudora didn''t think it was suitable to ask him now. She hid her curiosity in her heart and looked at Amos worriedly. But he wasn''t flustered at all. He smiled, "Mr. Cooper, you don''t have to be afraid of me. May I ask if your clients know that you have a habit of ming others?" "You..." Jeremy Cooper stuttered and was on verge of losing his temper. He swallowed his rage as Thomas was still there. "We''re not done with this!" He roared. "I''ll be waiting!" Jeremy left with Thomas right away. Thomas gazed at Amos with a puzzled look. After they left, Amos asked Eudora, "Why are you still here?" Eudora pursed her lips unconsciously and answered, "I have something to talk to Mr. Cooper. But, it''s alright. I''m leaving now." She didn''t want to ask much as it was still within her working hours. When they left the building, Harley teased, "It seems like Eudora is trying to hide something from you!" Amos frowned and ordered, "Go and check it out." Harley was always good at finding out secrets. He quickly got hold of the situation. "I''m afraid that the Gellerts'' Everpeace is going to be in very big trouble this time! It will be a good time for you to purchase it now. It''s a pity that you''re taking a break now. You shouldn''t let Harry get it!" "I''m not going to let him get it," Amos sneered while the golf ball fell into the hole. "Then what are you going to do?" Harley asked curiously. Amos kept quiet and put down his golf club. He put his hands in his pockets and walked out. "Hey! Are you leaving?" Harley yelled. "This is no fun!" Amos answered. At Everpeace. Eudora and Christopher looked discouraged when they came out of the room. Christopher smiled bitterly and asked, "I''m sorry. Are you okay?" Eudora shook her head. "I''m alright. Let''s go back to thepany first. Maybe we can think of other ways?" Christopher nodded, but they were very clear that it was not possible. They drove all the way back to thepany. As soon as they arrived, an assistant was seen standing at the entrance waiting for them. "Sir, a group of people came and imed that they want to see you." "Who are they?" Christopher frowned. "They said they are from TEM Inc..." The assistant replied. "TEM Inc?" Shocked, Christopher repeated. Everyone in the field knew thispany. TEM Inc had a history of more than ten years in the United States. But in recent years, they had expanded very quickly in this country. No one expected that TEM Inc woulde and find them. Christopher dashed up to the office with Eudora. He could see five of their representatives seated around the table waiting for them when he opened the office door. The leader got up and greeted them, "Hello, President Gellert. I''m David Zilon, one of the representatives of TEM Inc. I''m here to talk to you about our potential coboration on behalf of TEM." He instructed one of them to hand over some files to Christopher. "These are all the information on the current situation of Everpeace. After deducting all the expenses you have spent previously on the construction, as well as the other additional costs, including thepensation for the idents happened and the court proceedings... The remaining amount in Everpeace is obviously not enough to hold up until the end of next month." Christopher frowned. "It seems like you''re not here to coborate with mypany." David smiled and replied, "No one will join you after knowing Everpeace''s current situation. You should know it better than I do. TEM Inc is willing to buy Everpeace. And, we will allow you to stay in Everpeace as a shareholder if you decide to let us take over. That being said, you will still be in charge of Everpeace. I assure you nothing will change." Christopher couldn''t understand the purpose of them doing this. "What''s your goal?" "It is of course to expand our business, and also toy our foundation in this country." David showed him the contract. "Please take a look." "The contract includes all our promises, and also our agreement on your n to make changes to the warehouse. If in the future, you want to leave Everpeace and set up a newpany, you won''t be bonded with TEM Inc, too." It was true that those conditions were very tempting. Christopher knew in his heart that no one in the country could offer something as good. Although Eudora was reluctant to sell Everpeace, she kept quiet as Christopher was the actual owner. Moreover, they had promised that everything would remain the same as before. Christopher red at Eudora and asked, "What do you think?" Eudora smiled and answered, "I will respect whatever decision you made." "Alright, I agree!" Christopher eximed, "When should we sign the contract?" He would be able to turn the tables now since this matter was solved. "We''ll finalize the documents and bring all the contracts tomorrow morning," David replied. "Alright!" After sending them away, Eudora and Christopher breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the problem had been solved, they could start all over again. The news spread in thepany and everyone''s gloomy face disappeared instantly. Christopher smiled and announced, "You guys are allowed to get off work early today, and you all are given a day off tomorrow. We will start over again!" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Eudora didn''t always get off work early. She was thinking if she should buy some food to bring back home. While she was about to reach the exit, she saw a few unexpected guests in suits waiting for her. "Miss George, Old Master Granger would want to meet you." A chill went down Eudora''s spine. She knew that he wanted to meet her to talk about what happened yesterday. She nodded, "Okay." Eudora was brought to the study by the butler as soon as she arrived at Granger Mansion. Eudora paused at the door for a moment before she mustered up her courage and knocked on the door. Old Master Granger was flipping through a photo album on his chair. He mmed the album onto the table when he saw Eudora. "Sit down!" Eudora took two more steps forward and sat down on the sofa next to her. She asked softly, "What is the matter, sir?" The old master didn''t answer. Instead, he stood up and sat across from Eudora. He asked, "You mentioned that the agreement between you and Amossts for a year, didn''t you?" Stunned, Eudora quickly replied, "Ah? Yes!" "Then, where will you go after a year?" The old master continued. Despite feeling suspicious at his questions, Eudora still answered him honestly, "I don''t know." The old master paused for a moment and added, "You are still young, and you still have many possibilities in your future. If I''m not wrong, you are doing design, aren''t you? It''s going to be hard for you to be sessful in this verypetitive field. But things will be different if you further your studies in the States or in France." Eudora frowned and said, "With all due respect, please don''t beat around the bush, sir." The old master nodded. He went to the desk to take a cheque and handed it over to her. "Five million dors! You can use it as your living expenses for your studies there. I can also enrol you at any university, if you are willing to go. But, under one condition. You must give birth to a child for the Granger family." Chapter 58 Chapter 58 "To give birth to a child?" Astonished, Eudora''s eyes widened. "Why? Do you not want to?" The Old Master asked, "In my opinion, if you have feelings for Amos and you are staying with him for a year, you two should have a child!" "That''s different!" Eudora eximed, "A child should grow up in an environment filled with love. I can''t do that!" "Miss George, I hope you can reconsider," he added, "Tell me if you have any other conditions..." She interrupted, "No, I am not going to do this! I won''t agree!" The old master''s face darkened upon hearing her words. "Miss George, do you think I would ask you to do such a thing if you''re not with Amos? I thought you would be more sensible and understanding," he sneered and continued, "Amos has done so much for you. I thought you would at least do this for him. I guess I''m wrong. Go back now!" Eudora didn''t reply at all and left instantly. Harry Granger saw her when she was about to leave the room. It seemed that he was very pleased with his new role as the temporary president. He even greeted Eudora when he saw her, "Oh! Miss George, nice to see you. How''s Amos?" "Very well, thank you for your concern," she replied and walked away. Harry asked the servant next to him after Eudora disappeared from his sight. "What is she doing here?" The servant shook his head and answered, "Sorry but I don''t know. It was the old master who invited her here." Harry frowned. He thought that the old master must have reprimanded her since Amos was punished by him too. Eudora sat in her car for a while after leaving the house. Her mind was upied by her childhood memories. After her mother passed away, Felicia was married to her father. There was once when she was chosen to y the role of a mermaid in her school performance. She put so much effort into it as she was the main actress. She told her father ahead of time that he must definitelye and see her perform. She was so happy when he said he was going to go although he was busy with his work. She took his promise to her very seriously. Thus, she had spent more time practicingpared to others as she wanted to show her father her best. On the day of the performance, she smiled brightly while she was on the stage. Her eyes were skimming through the audience, row by row, trying to identify the man she wanted to see the most. But she couldn''t find him. Even after thepetition, he did not show up. Heartbroken and disappointed, she told herself that he must be busy. She went home right away after. Her jaws dropped when she saw her father chatting with Felicia and Kesha in his arms in the living room. He praised Kesha, "You little dwarf is really good today. Well done." "Thank you, daddy! You''re the best," Kesha replied. Eudora was only ten that year. She couldn''t hold their disappointment and shouted, "Why didn''t you go? You promised me that you would be there for my performance. Why weren''t you there?" Gordon realized that he had missed her performance after Eudora reminded him. He looked at her and said, "Is your show today?" She would never forget the cold and unconcerned look in his eyes. She swore to herself that she would rather not have any children in the future if the little one couldn''t grow up in a love-filled family. Amos arrived home and he couldn''t find Eudora. He thought of what happened previously and went straight to the Granger Mansion. The butler had been waiting for him at the door. He said, "Young Master, the Old Master has been waiting for you in his study." Amos frowned and looked around the house. The butler added, "Miss George has left." "Alright!" Amos answered and walked to the study. The Old Master was still looking at the album. He didn''t even raise his head when Amos came in. "Sit down!" He instructed. Amos ignored him and asked, "What do you want from me?" Obviously, the Old Master was displeased with his attitude. He roared, "Can''t I look for you? You''re my son! We are not just business partners." Amos couldn''t refute this fact. "Why did you see her?" Amos asked. Anger shot through the Old Master. He fumed, "Yes, I did. I already know your condition from your doctor. So, I asked her to bear a child for you since you can only be with her. What''s so wrong with me doing that?" Amos frowned and uttered, "You shouldn''t have meddled in my personal matter." "Is that a personal matter? You are now the only heir of the Granger family, and your most important obligation is to have a child of your own. Do you think that I don''t know what you''ve done for that woman?" The Old Master roared. He turned on the recorder pen he put on the table. Amos heard Eudora''s voice. In the recorder, she said, "A child should grow up in the environment filled with love. I can''t just give birth to a child just for the sake of having a child!" "Did you hear that? You have gone through so much for her. But she never appreciated it! Never!" He bellowed. Amos sat there quietly for a while before he got up, "Are you done?" Anger flooded the Old Master''s veins. He thundered, "When are you going to stop protecting her?" "It''s none of your business!" Amos mmed the door and stomped out of the room. Harry cautiously crept around the pirs, eavesdropping the conversation between Amos and the Old Master. He clenched his fist while his eyes turned fierce. Anger was fuming inside him. "That Old Master wants Amos and that woman to have a child? I can''t lose my position in this family!" Eudora was cooking with Aunt Valerie when Amos arrived home. She ran to him with a smile and circled her arms around his waist. "Where did you go in the afternoon? Why are you sote?" Eudora asked. Amos didn''t say a word. He turned around and gently caressed her cheek. "Does it hurt?" He asked, looking at the wound on her cheek. Surprised, she asked. "Am I hurt? I don''t know. No wonder my cheek has been itchy all day." Amos joked, "Be careful, stupid. You might be an ugly monster." "That sounds great!" Eudora chuckled, "When that happens, I can start over again in another city." Amos frowned. "Do you want to leave here?" Eudora was dazed at his reaction. "What''s wrong with you? I''m just kidding!" Amos took the ointment and applied it on her face carefully before they had their dinner together. After dinner, Eudora and Amos went and watched TV in the living room. It was a rare asion to see Amos watching TV. Eudora''s eyes were fixed on a cute little boy on the screen. Valerie blurted out, "Miss, your child will be more beautiful than this boy." Eudora was startled and subconsciously nced at Amos.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Amos said unexpectedly, "We''re not in a rush." Aunt Valerie quickly turned around and left. A heavy silence fell upon the room. A thousand thoughts were running in Eudora''s mind. In fact, she actually hoped that Amos could be more assertive like his father, the Old Master. Perhaps if he did, she would feel less guilty to him. Without a second thought, she mouthed, "Amos, do you want a child?" Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Amos froze for a second and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?" Her conversation with the Old Master about how a child should grow up in a loving environment echoed in her thoughts. "No reason. If you are..." She replied. "I don''t want to!" Amos quickly interrupted. It was as if he was afraid that she would blurt out more unreasonable requests. He added, "Who do you think you are? We are not in that kind of rtionship. Having a child with you is not what I look for." "Oh!" Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. "I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have asked such an absurd question." Although she knew in her heart that this was going to happen, she still felt inexplicably upset and disappointed when she heard it herself from Amos. Even though she knew that she shouldn''t have expected much from their rtionship since the beginning, but she realised that perhaps deep inside her heart, there was still a little sliver of hope. Annoyed at her facial expression, Amos threw the remote control onto the table and strode to his room. In the Granger family. Raw anger shot through Harry. He returned to this room and scolded the servant who was cleaning his room for no reason. Kaylene walked over and asked, "What''s wrong? I thought you were happy to see your brother. Who made you so angry? Did he bother you?" "Ah! Don''t mention that old man! We have done so much for the Granger family all these years. When Zulia passed away, I apanied him every day tofort him. And now since he had found Amos back, he tried to take away and give all my rights to him. He even wants Amos and that woman to have a child of their own!" Harry yelled. Stunned, Kaylene asked, "Doesn''t your brother hate that woman?" "So what? He just wants a child! Don''t you understand? As long as their bloodline can be passed down, our family will be tossed out like used toilet paper!" He bellowed. She finally understood what was going on. Her expression changed instantly. "That''s so selfish of him! What should we do?" She said. "We should"-- Harry sneered--"not let that child be born! Otherwise, we will lose our rights in the family!" "But how could we get close to that woman when Amos is always watching over her?" She put her hand under her chin. "So what? I''m sure there will be times when he''s not around." Harry paused for a moment and asked, "Have you gone to see Samanthately?" Kaylene paused and answered, "Well, I did. But she''s still depressed and sleeps all day." "It seems like this girl really likes Amos! When we adopted her, we thought that she could be useful one day, and we could possibly marry her off to someone influential when she grows up. Now it seems like she is useless." Kaylene nodded immediately. "I''ll see her again in the next few days." Amos was not in his room when Eudora got up the next morning. She looked to the side of the bed next to her. It looked like he never came back at all. He spent an entire night outside... Eudora sat quietly for a while, staring into space before she washed up. She saw Aunt Valerie when she went downstairs, who then informed her, "Sir went outtest night. What would you like to eat for breakfast?" Eudora shook her head. She knew that something was wrong. She went to the balcony and decided to grab a book to read. Although the weather was nice, she couldn''t read a word. C came to her legs and looked at her with its ck eyes. "C, what''s wrong with him? Do you think he''s still mad?" Eudora asked. C replied by licking her hand. She wasn''t sure if she should cry orugh at it. Ringgggg! She quickly got up and answered her phone. It was from Harley Louis. He said on the phone, "Hey Sister-inw, are you free now?" "What''s wrong?" She asked. "Come to my ce and bring Amos back. He''s drunk," Harley nced at Amos, who was smoking at the balcony. He thought to himself, "Bro, I can only help you this much." Harley hung up the phone happily when he heard Eudora''s anxious reply. She said she would go and pick Amos up right away.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Harley went to Amos with a cup of coffee on his hand while looking at the ashtray on the table overflowing with cigarette butts. Heined, "Are you going to spread nuclear weapons and kill me?" Amos rolled his eyes. "Who did you call just now?" Harley felt a shiver down his back. He was pretty sure that he did this at somewhere Amos couldn''t see or hear him. He wondered how he had noticed it. "My colleague. Just something about work." He blurted. Amos could tell that he was lying instantly. But, surprisingly, he didn''t question any further. Harley sighed, "Hey, you are in trouble. I can tell that you have fallen head over heels for her based on your current situation." "Shut up!" Amos yelled. Harley took another sip of coffee and continued, "Man up! You should just talk to her if it''s troubling you. Hiding at my ce is not going to help, and it makes me look down on you." "Oh really?" Amos said coldly, "Do you?" "Ah!" Harleyughed loudly to conceal his nervousness, "I gotta go. I got something else to do." He quickly disappeared. However, he ran back three secondster and shouted, "Boss, Sister-inw is hurt!" Amos nced at him coldly and warned, "Don''t you dare joke about her!" "I swear I''m not lying. Something really happened to her. I just received a phone call..." Harley replied. Before he could finish his words, Amos pushed him away and dashed out of the room. By the time they arrived, the police had already cordoned off the scene. The ambnce was also there. It was total chaos. Harley showed his ID to the policemen for ess and entered the scene with Amos. "What happened?" Harley asked. "A car crash. Two cars collided. One turned over. And a passenger is still in it..." The police officer told. Amos tried to go closer to the destroyed cars when the officer was exining what happened. Blood was seen streaming slowly out of the car, like a blooming rose. Dumbfounded, Harley closed his mouth with hands and whispered, "It''s all my fault. If I didn''t call her, she wouldn''t have..." Amos ignored him and rushed towards the car. The firemen who were putting off the fire yelled at him, "Sir, you can''t go there. The car will explode!" Amos didn''t care. He even pushed away Harley who was trying to stop him. He couldn''t imagine his life without her. He picked up a brick on the ground and smashed the window ss. Everyone quickly gathered around and helped to open the passenger door. More blood flowed out from the car as soon as the door was opened. The situation was far more serious than what they had been told. Amos'' heart sank. He had never been this scared in his life. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Eudora couldn''t move at all as she was immobilized by the overturned car. Her body was dyed red with blood. No one would be able to tell where she was injured. Harley''s heart skipped a beat and subconsciously nced at Amos. His eyes were bloodshot and a little ssy. His expression was extremely scary. "Amos..." Harley whispered. "Don''t talk to me!" Amos yelled. He grabbed a stick from the fireman and joined the rescue. When Eudora was dragged out of the car, her breathing was already very shallow. Amos pushed away the men who were about to put her onto the stretcher. Amos shouted in his heart, "No one can touch her. No one!" It was the first time Harley saw Amos behaving like that. He had never shown his fear despite being through so many adversities in the past. He carried Eudora onto the ambnce. The nurse came to stop the bleeding right away. One of the nurses said, "Sir, please give way. It will be hard for us to help her if you''re here." Amos took a step back and leaned against the chair behind him. He subconsciously went to his pocket where his cigarette was. But his hand paused in midair when his eyes met Eudora. They arrived at the hospital in a while and Eudora was rushed to the operating room. Harley saw Amos sitting outside the ER with his fingers sped together when he arrived. It was as if Amos was defeated by his greatest nightmare. He, who had always been a clean freak, was covered in Eudora''s blood. His eyes were fixed at the ER door. Harley frowned and consoled, "Amos, she will be fine. Don''t worry!" Amos kept quiet for a while before he suddenly burst intoughter, "It''s ridiculous! Why would I be worried? She''s just a woman who wants to escape from me! I was just thinking whether to chase her away just this morning. And now she got into an ident. Tell me, what trick is she ying?" "Amos..." Harley knew that he wasn''t in his right state of mind. But, as a guy, he didn''t have a clue on how to make him feel better, too. Gordon and Kesha rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the news. Gordon''s face turned pale seeing the bloodstains on Amos'' clothes. "Eudora, my daughter. Is she..." He asked faintly. Before he could finish his words, Amos gave him a cold look and questioned, "Why did youe here? What rights do you have toe here?" Gordon was livid at his words. Hepletely lost his mind when he saw Amos'' bloodstained clothes again. "You killed her, didn''t you? You killed my daughter! You are crazy! I told her that she will not have a good ending if she follows you! See what happened to her!" Gordon shouted. Although she was terrified, Kesha tried her best to grab hold of Gordon''s arm so he wouldn''t hurt Amos. He had broken downpletely. Amos sneered, "It''s none of your business. If you really treat her as your daughter, you won''t even let her suffer in the Meyer family. Why are you pretending to be her father now? Get out of here immediately!"N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. A few bodyguards came and pinned Gordon down upon Amos'' order. Kesha waspletely scared out of her wits. She turned around and ran away instantly. That didn''t calm the storm in Amos'' heart. He loosened his tie. It was as if the suffocation and uneasiness he felt were going to swallow him up. Harley rushed forward when the lights on the operating room were switched off. "Doctor, how is it?" His voice was trembling. "Her head collided hard into some parts of the car seat during the collision. She almost lost her life but fortunately, she was brought here in time," the doctor exined. Harley breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Amos, whispered. "She''s okay..." Amos ignored him while rolling up his sleeves and said, "I''m going to clean my hands." He couldn''t feel relieved until he was in the washroom. He took out a cigarette but couldn''t light it up despite multiple attempts. Only then did he realize that his hands were shaking. Heughed at himself while throwing the cigarettes and lighter into the trash can before he cleaned himself up. Eudora had been wheeled to the ward when Amos came back. She had yet to regain consciousness. Amos'' heart tightened when he saw she had so many different lines, tubes, and drains inserted at different parts of her body. Amos quietly walked over and stood by her bed while his eyes nced at her. Her face was as pale as snow she had lost a significant amount of blood. His heart ached. In fact, Eudora and Amos were very simr in terms of their upbringings. Amos also had no family members to rely on since he was a child. To him, Eudora was his only family. But, she had always wanted to leave him. They both knew that it was because they felt insecure in the rtionship. Harley went out of the room to pick up his phone. He returned after a while and whispered, "Amos, something''s not right." Amos'' eyes darkened. "What''s happened?" "The truck that hit Eudora waspletely functional. The driver was mentally fit and of sound mind as well. We couldn''t find a reason why the ident happened." Harley said in a serious tone. Amos replied, "Oh! It seems that someone had nned this!" His expression became gloomy instantly. Harley frowned, "The police will investigate it thoroughly." "Alright!" Amos said. Harley pondered for a while and added, "Be careful." Amos sneered, "I am not going to die!" Eudora thought she was in a dream. She could see a group of children who were trapped inside a pitch-ck room. She noticed one of the boys was in a lot of pain so she reached out her hand to him slowly. But the boy became defensive at once and bit her hand. "Ouch!" Eudora withdrew her hand. She opened her eyes. The white canvas before her turned into a rock- walled ceiling as her vision became clear. She could hear the sound of the humidifier on her side. She gazed into space for a while before images appeared in her head. She could remember vividly the huge truck that came straight to her car. She was on her way to bring Amos back home. At that moment, she thought that her life was over. "Miss, you''re awake!" Aunt Valerie eximed and ran out quickly. "Sir, Sir, Miss George is awake." A tall, vague figure came to her side and stared at her. Amos looked exhausted. Eudora whispered, "Amos..." She stretched out her hand and wanted to touch his face, but stopped in midair. "Please don''t be mad." Eudora pleaded softly. The anger in his heart vanished at once when he saw her pale face. He chuckled and held her hand. "What should I do with you?" "Are you not angry anymore?" Eudora''s lips curled into a grin. "Ah!" She moaned when she felt a sudden severe headache. "What''s wrong with my head?" "Don''t move!" Aunt Valerie said, "The doctor said that your head was badly hurt. You must rest!" A chill ran down her spine. "You''re so lucky to have survived!" Aunt Valerie added, "I''ll go make some soup for you. You''ll need good food to recover." Aunt Valerie quickly left and let Eudora rest. The room became quiet again. Eudora cleared her mind and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" "Six days!" Amos answered. "Oh no! I didn''t apply for leave..." Eudora said worriedly. Amos couldn''t believe that she was thinking about work now. He held her down onto the bed and said, "Don''t. Move. Again!" Eudora was still concerned about her unfinished tasks and mumbled, "But my project..." Amos'' lips mashed against hers as if he was trying to stop her from talking. Chapter 61 Chapter 61 His lips brushed hers, softly and delicately. The excitement in his heart was about to explode. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She rxed her tense muscles and responded to his kiss passionately. They stopped after a while, both panting. "Don''t ever leave me," he whispered. Eudora was frozen at his words. She didn''t know what he meant. A nurse came into her room to change her bandage while she was about to rify her doubt. After the nurse left, he told, "See youter. I''ll go out for a while." Eudora nodded. Her head still hurt. She fell asleep again after closing her eyes. Clint was waiting for Amos outside Eudora''s room. As soon as they got in the car, Clint updated, "The preliminary result of the police investigation shows Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. that the driver was fatigued while he was driving this morning, which then led to the ident. They are closing the case soon." Amos narrowed his eyes. His prediction was urate. "What about our own investigation?" He asked. "The truck driver is a thug. He lost quite a big chunk of money to gambling a few days ago," Clint continued, "It looks like he is connected with Thomas Shelby." "Thomas Shelby?" Amos snorted. "Let''s go." "Where are we going?" Clint asked. "Let''s pay Thomas Shelby a visit!" In a private room of a night club. A sexy, hotdy was lying on Thomas'' chest while he took a small sip of red wine. His hands were caressing her body while thedy moaned softly when he pinched her butt. The door was pushed open from the outside. Thomas looked to the door and paused. He burst outughing when he saw Amos. "President Granger, to what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked. Amos chuckled, "It looks you''re expecting me." "I know that your people have been secretly investigating me. If I didn''t even know that, aren''t I just waiting to be sent to the lion''s den?" Thomas teased. Thomas was clearly threatening him although it sounded like a joke. He was a fat man and this had always made his smile appear to be friendly and approachable. Clint frowned. He didn''t expect that Thomas would find out about it. They had been very careful. Amos remained quiet as he sat directly across from him. "I guess you know why I''m looking into you then," Amos said coldly. "Of course! One of my men ordered a thug to hit your woman. Don''t worry! I''ve got the evidence. I''ll give it to you at any time if you want it," Thomas replied. "Under what condition?" Amos asked. Thomas chortled. "I can see that you''re indeed very assertive. Let''s not talk about the conditions first," Thomas continued. "We have not coborated for a long time after you came back from the States. I am not very happy about that. If it weren''t for this girl, were you going to continue avoiding me? What happened? Everyone said you''re cold and ruthless. Is it true that you''ve fallen in love with this woman?" Thomas sounded as if he was an old friend of Amos. But Amos knew that he was trying to probe into his secret. Amos frowned and replied with a smile, "You should know better than me. A woman will always lose her charm after some time." "Really?" Thomas'' eyes widened. "No one has ever seen you with a woman before. I thought that this woman must be very different. It looks like I''m wrong. If that''s the case, shall we have some fun tonight? You can have a go on my girl!" He signaled the woman in his arms to go to Amos. Clint reflexively lifted his hand but withdrew it when he met Amos'' gaze. He frowned and left the room. The woman sat onto Amos''sps without a second thought. The fragrance of her perfume floated up his nostrils. He frowned slightly as Eudora had never used perfume before. "What''s wrong? Don''t you like it, President Granger?" asked Thomas. Amos smiled, "Of course, I do!" He wrapped the woman tightly in his arms and said, "Your girls are amazing." "Haha! I''m d you like it," Thomas chuckled. Clint suddenly barged into the room again and said, "Sir, you need to go back now. Something''s happened." Thomas'' face changed at once. "You''re not going to leave now, are you? We''ve just started." "Why should I?" Amos smiled and nced at the woman. "I''m not going to waste President Shelby''s goodwill." Thomas nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good! Let''s grab a drink when you are free next time. You can have her!" Amos came out of the room with the woman and frowned immediately as soon as the door was closed. Clint quickly asked and stretched out his hand, "President Granger." Amos shook his head while the woman grabbed his arm. The three went downstairs together and got in the car. A man reported to Thomas a few minutes after Amos left, "He has brought that woman away." Thomas raised his eyebrows. "It seems like I am wrong. He is indeed Amos Granger, a cold-blooded beast!" The driver sped away after they closed the door. The woman leaned against Amos'' shoulder gently. Her beauty made such a big contrast to Thomas'' fat and ugly face. She was thinking of ways to seduce Amos as she knew that Amos was probably one of the richest guys in the country. "President Granger, where are we going?" She whispered in his ear. Amos smirked, "Let''s y something different." He pulled out a piece of cloth from the back seat of the car and handed it to the woman before he blindfolded her. The woman responded excitedly, "Sure. That looks fun." Amos didn''t say a word. After he made sure that the woman was blindfolded properly, he ordered, "Stop the car." He signaled Clint with his eyes to get the woman off the car. When Amos was the only one left in the car, he said in a hoarse voice, "To the hospital." Eudora couldn''t fall asleep as she just had a huge portion of chicken soup in the evening. So, she decided to read a magazine to learn thetest trend of design. The magazines were brought by Aunt Valerie after Eudora insisted her to do so. When she was about to flip the first page, the door was pushed open. Shocked at the loud noise, she looked up and saw Amos stumble into the room. Aunt Valerie quickly went forward and asked, "Sir, what''s wrong?" Eudora saw the rashes on his body and yelled, "Don''t touch him!" Terrified, Aunt Valerie stopped at once. Eudora got up from the bed and held him. "What happened again?" Valerie reminded, "Miss George, you shouldn''t get up from the bed. Your wound hasn''t healed yet..." "We have no time. Hurry up and get me some hot water," Eudora interrupted. Aunt Valerie acted instantly while Eudoraid Amos down on the sofa. His condition seemed to be worse than his two previous episodes. He was semiconscious and could barely recognize anyone now. Eudora slowly unbuttoned his clothes, but he kept pushing her away. Anxious about his condition, she whispered softly into his ears, "Amos, I''m Eudora..." "Eudora?" Amos slowly opened his eyes and took a closer look at her in relief, and finally passed out. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 When Aunt Valerie saw the scene after she got back home, she was shocked. "What happened? I will call a doctor..." "No! It''s fine!" Eudora George said, "Can you please take a towel for me? He will be fine after a while." Aunt Valerie was a bit doubtful of Eudora''s words but she seemed to be very confident in what she was doing . She wiped Amos Granger gently with a damp towel. After seeing Amos had gotten better, Eudora was relieved. Aunt Valerie was stunned. "How is this possible..." Eudora, who had poor health, almost fainted as she had been too worried and exhausted because of Amos. Aunt Valerie quickly helped her back to her bed, and then looked at Amos who was breathing normally. Aunt Valerie shook her head and said, "Miss George, please have a good rest. I will stay here with him." Eudora nodded but she was still worried, she said," Please do not touch him." Aunt Valerie nodded. "Certainly." Eudora fell asleep peacefully. It was only because she knew that Aunt Valerie, having worked for them for a long time, was a reliable person. By the time she woke up again, it was already the second day. She felt much better after she had taken a rest. However, she felt a little restricted on the bed. As she moved a little, she found out that a big hand was holding her waist. Eudora was surprised that she almost jumped up. The man behind her held her down and said, "Let''s sleep a little longer." Upon hearing Amos'' voice, Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. "Why did you climb into my bed?" "I can¡¯t sleep well on the sofa because it doesn''t have your scent.¡± There was a trace of mischievousness in his deep voice. Eudora was convinced by him, then she recalled the rashes on his body. She turned around and opened up his cor to check. When she saw that the rashes had subsided, she let out a sigh of relief. The man grabbed her wrist and touched the tip of her nose with his. "I may not be able to control myself if you do this..." Eudora blushed and said, "I haven''t asked you yet. Why did you have those rashesst night? Did you have contact with any woman?" Amos could not hide his happiness as he saw the littledy making threatening gestures in front of him. ¡°Are you jealous?¡±asked Amos. "I am not jealous. I didn''t care about you. I almost threw you out yesterday. You can ask Aunt Valerie about this." said Eudora. "Wow, so scary." The happiness in Amos'' eyes deepened. "If you had thrown me out, how did I recover?" asked Amos. "How am I supposed to know? Maybe you are not allergic to some other women ? " "And you said you¡¯re not jealous?" Amos reached out and pinched the tip of her nose gently. "This room is filled with sour scent because of your jealousy." Eudora pouted and said, "I don''t want to talk to you!" After a while, Amos said, "Are you really going to ignore me? I''ll leave then." He got up after saying that. In a split second, Eudora reached out and grabbed his arm. "I allow you to hug me." Upon hearing this, Amosy down on the bed again and hugged her. When they were enjoying each other¡¯s presence, Harley Louis entered the room. He cursed his heart as if he had seen something that he should not have. He then covered his eyes and said, "I did not see anything." Eudora blushed and hurriedly hid herself inside the quilt. At the same time, Amos sat up calmly and frowned slightly. "You''d better have something urgent to tell me!" Harley couldn''t help but feel a chill on his back. "Is closing up a case considered urgent?¡± asked Harley. Amos frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure you''ve investigated thoroughly?" Harley was stunned. "Do you have any other clues?" Eudora was curious as she listened to their conversation. "Are you guys talking about the car Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ident?" "Yes!" Amos replied faintly, then reached out and pressed her down. "Have a good rest. I''ll go out for a while and I''ll be back soon." Harley was dumbstruck after seeing Amos inform Eudora about his whereabouts before he left. He was never like that before. "Nothing big, right?" asked Eudora. "It''s okay. Don''t worry." After Amos finished speaking, he turned around and went out with Harley. Harley turned around and waved goodbye to Eudora. "See you next time, sister-inw." Eudora was speechless. When they got outside, Harley looked at Amos anxiously. "I heard that you were attacked by a woman "Do I look not okay to you?¡±asked Amos. "Tsk, tsk! Then how did you end up being attacked by a woman? What did you do?" Amos did not answer, but asked, "Is the case settled?" "Not yet, but almost. Based on the evidence, the driver was just exhausted." Amos chuckled and said, "I''ll show you something." The clue was sent this morning by the people under Thomas Shelby. He had not seen the file yet. He passed the file to Harley. After opening the file and checking its contents, Harley¡¯ s face gradually became serious. "It was nned? Did they bribe the driver?" However, his colleagues couldn''t find anything. That indicated the people behind this n were very powerful. "You were checking on thisst night, so..." "That''s not the point!" Amos interrupted him. "The point is Samantha Cooper is the person behind this!" In the file, there were clips and photos of Samantha meeting the truck driver. It seemed that Harry Granger¡¯s family was involved in the n. Harley frowned. "It''s them again. What are you nning to do?" Amos sneered. "I don''t know anything. What do you want me to do?" Harley immediately understood. "Okay, I got it. I''ll hand it over to the relevant people." It seemed that Harry had really triggered Amos this time. After that incident, Samantha had been staying at home. After knowing that the police were about to close the case, she wanted to know about Eudora¡¯s condition. She went to the market to get some news on Eudora. After asking the people at the market, she found out that Eudora had already woken up. Samantha was so angry that she threw the things she bought to the ground. "Eudora George, you got lucky! How did you survive from that?" Suddenly, Samantha heard the siren of police cars. She noticed that the police were heading to her house. Out of panic, she quickly ran in the opposite direction. Eudora was lying on the bed, while Amos was leaning against the sofa to peel an apple for her. After the apple was peeled, he handed it over to Eudora. "Have a bite?" Eudora took a bite. "It''s sweet!" After that, she took another bite. However, she bit too much that she identally licked Amos¡¯ finger. Amos asked, "Which is sweeter? Me or the apple?" Eudora couldn''t be more familiar with that kind of look. She couldn''t help but shrink her neck. "The apple is sweeter." replied Eudora. "Hmm?" Amos grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips. "Your answer is wrong. Give me a new answer." "The apple is sweeter!" She struggled. Then, she received another kiss. This time, it was a French kiss. Eudora was afraid that someone would push the door open, so she was very nervous. When he finally let go of her, she quickly changed her tone and said, "You''re sweeter!" As a result, the man once again kissed her on the lips. "Correct answer. You get a kiss as a reward." said Amos. Eudora was speechless. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 After seeing the little woman blushed, Amos Granger reluctantly gave her onest kiss and let her go. Suddenly, Amos¡¯ phone rang. He took his phone and went out. Eudora George patted her cheeks, and felt a little flustered. He picked up the phone, but no one spoke. Amos frowned and took a look at the phone number. It was an anonymous number that had not been saved in his contacts. He thought it was a scam call. He hung up and called Clint Zuckerberg. "What''s the progress on Samantha Cooper?" asked Amos. "I was about to call you. Samantha Cooper ran away. Just now, the police arrived at her residence but she was already gone. Now we are trying our best to find her." said Clint in a heavy tone. Amos frowned. When he thought of the unknown phone call just now, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. "Oh no." He hurriedly turned around and ran to the ward. In the ward, the door was pushed open again as Eudoray down on the bed. She reflexively replied, "You''re sweet, you''re the sweetest person in the world!" There was no response. Eudora was stunned and turned around to look subconsciously. Then, she saw Samantha who looked resentful, standing by the door. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Why are you here?" Eudora was shocked. Samantha grinned hideously. "I''m here to see you!" Eudora frowned and said, "I don''t want to see you. Get out." "Oh..." Samantha suddenly sneered. "Do you think I''m here just to see you? Do you think I will obediently follow your words?" "You..." Eudora could not understand her thoughts at all. "If you¡¯re here because of Amos, remember that I had let you off several times after what you had done to me. What else do you want?" "Let me off?"Samantha gritted her teeth. "Stop pretending to be kind. If you had forgiven me, then why were there so many policemen tailing after me? Aren''t you living well? Why can''t you just let me go?" "Police?" Eudora suddenly realized something. "Was it you who nned the car ident?" "So what if it was me? What did you do to deserve everything? All of them belonged to me in the first ce. I was adopted by the Granger Family, and I met Amos first. Why did you appear and take away everything that belonged to me?!!" "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Eudora sneered. "Oh, so? Do you still feel wronged? But please do forgive me for not being able to understand your grievances." Samantha suddenly burst out in anger. "I don''t need you to understand, because I''m here today to let you apany me to meet the Grim Reaper." After that, she pulled out a dagger from her back and wanted to stab Eudora. It was toote for Eudora to escape. Suddenly, the door was mmed open. Amos rushed in and grasped the tip of the dagger. Blood instantly stained the ground, and Eudora eximed, "Amos!" Samantha also looked at Amos in shock and said, "Why?" Amos frowned and ignored her. The people who followed behind also rushed in and arrested Samantha. When Samantha was taken away, she still stared at Amos¡¯ bleeding hand. "Are you okay, Amos?" Eudora looked at his hand in panic. Amos shook his head. "I''m fine." "Why are you so stupid? How could you just grab the de like that?" shouted Eudora. "As long as you''re fine, I¡¯m okay." replied Amos. Eudora''s heart trembled after hearing what Amos said. She seemed to have renewed thoughts after having near-death experiences. The doctor quickly rushed over and bandaged Amos¡¯ fingers. Fortunately, although the wound was deep, it did not injure his vital parts. In the evening, Eudora was lying on bed and staring nkly at the ceiling. Amos pushed the door open and came in. At a nce, he noticed Eudora¡¯s worries. "What''s wrong? Can''t fall asleep without me?" Amos teased. Amos loved to tease her. When Eudora blushed because of his words, Amos would feel satisfied. Unexpectedly, Eudora just nodded and said, "Yes, I was thinking about you." The little woman who was being proactive made Amos'' eyes darken slightly. "Don¡¯t try to seduce me.¡± said Amos in a hoarse voice. Eudora blushed instantly and said, "I¡¯m not. I was really thinking about you." Then she pointed at her left chest. "My heart was thinking about you." Amos¡¯ heart softened. He went to the bed and hugged her waist from behind. "Are you worried about me?" asked Amos. Eudora nodded, but then shook her head. "Not entirely true, I suddenly just want to know more about you." After hearing this, the man chuckled softly and asked, "What do you want to know?" Eudora frowned. "What did Jeremy Cooper meanst time?" Upon hearing this, the man¡¯s grip slightly tightened and returned to normal instantly. "What he said is true. I am the illegitimate son of the Granger family. My eldest brother, Hank Granger, was the son of my father and Bethany Hamilton. However, before Hank could take over thepany, he died because of a woman. I did not know how my father found out about my presence. He brought me back to the country and asked me to take over Valiant East Group." It turned out to be true! Amos was really the illegitimate child of Old Master Granger. "Then... your mother..." "Mother?" Amos chuckled. "I don''t have any memory about her. She passed away when I was very young." He felt that the little woman in his arms stiffen after he spoke about this. Amos reached out and caressed her hair. "Let¡¯s sleep!" "Amos..." Eudora suddenly turned around and hugged him. "I''m sorry." "Hmm?" Amos was stunned for a moment. He kissed her forehead and asked, "What''s wrong?" "Actually, when the Old Master came to mest time, he hoped that I could have a baby with you..." said Eudora. "Oh, so it was about that." Amos pursed his lips and said, "Actually..." "Listen to me, Amos, I used to tell myself that everything between us was just a deal, because I knew that we would leave each other one day. I don''t want my child to be like me in the future, but now I have changed my mind. Amos Granger, I want to have a child with you, I want to build a family with you. This is the only thought I have right now, regardless whether we will still be together in the future." The little woman''s eyes were exceptionally sparkling under the lights. Amos felt that his heart was suddenly surrounded by warmth. He had never felt this way before. "Silly!" Amos said in a hoarse voice. "I''ve told you that we''ll be together forever." Hearing this, Eudora was stunned. "Forever?" "Yes, we''ll always be together." said Amos. Eudora''s gaze were like a kitten waiting for her master to hug her. Amos could not help but lower his head and kiss her. Eudora who was in his arms trembled a little because of his action, but soon, she reached out and hugged him. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Their love for each other raised the temperature in the ward. Amos Granger let go of Eudora before he felt breathless. He tidied up her hair and said in a hoarse voice, "Let¡¯s sleep." Eudora George looked at him in a daze, and her eyes dimmed instantly. "Oh!" "Are you disappointed?" Amos chuckled. "You haven''t recovered yet..." Eudora blushed and she subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover herself. She must be crazy to think of doing that with Amos in here. Not to mention that her body had not fully recovered, this ce was not suitable at all. She was really embarrassed. Seeing that she was so embarrassed, the man chuckled and said, "I am very happy." Seeing Amos''s happy expression, she was happy as well. That night, she slept soundly as if she was a child who was sleeping beside her mother. The sense of security made her forget all her worries. The next day, when Eudora woke up, Amos was still asleep. Amos looked totally different when he was asleep. He looked like an innocent baby, Eudora was particrly amazed by his gorgeous face. She suddenly wanted to kiss him. Before Eudora¡¯s lips could approach Amos, the door opened unexpectedly. Eudora was surprised that she quickly retreated and almost fell off the small bed. Fortunately, the man beside her grabbed her instantly so that she did not fall off. Harley Louis silently thought that he hade in at a wrong time, and then he softly said, "Good morning." Eudora was curious and she asked Amos, "When did you wake up?" "The moment you wanted to kiss me." Eudora was speechless. "What a lovely couple!" said Harley while using his hands to cover his chest. "Shut up!" said Amos while he gnashed his teeth. Harley immediately handed a bouquet of flowers to Eudora. "Sister-inw, I''m sorry that it took so long for me to finallye and see you." Eudora awkwardly took the flowers and said, "It''s very beautiful, thank you." At the same time, Amos took the toiletries and went to the bathroom. When he came out from the bathroom, he saw Harley chatting with Eudora. They talked about all sort of topics. "Harley shouldn''t be a policeman, he should be a counselor instead." thought Amos. Amos dragged him up from the sofa and said to Eudora, "We have to leave now to do something." Eudora nodded. The next second, Harley stubbornly turned his head around to say goodbye to Eudora. "Goodbye, sister-inw." Amos was speechless. Amos only let go of Harley when they were at the corridor, he asked,"What¡¯s the matter?" "Ugh! How do you see through me?" Harley said. "If you have something to say, then say it now!" Amos urged. "Fine, fine. I''m here to ask you about your thoughts on how to settle the matter about Samantha Cooper. I think the Granger family doesn''t want to meddle with this matter anymore. What about you?" "Me?" Amos looked as if he had heard something funny. "Do you think I will save her?" "Of course I know you won''t save her. She had tried to harm Eudora several times. She deserved punishment, but we clearly know that Samantha Cooper has no ability to do all those things alone. She had always been abroad, so how did she know Thomas Shelby¡¯s people? The root of the problem is still Harry Granger¡¯ s family. If we don¡¯ t do something about them, they will always be a hidden threat." Amos knew all of this, even if Harley didn¡¯t tell him. "I know. Don''t worry!" said Amos. "Okay!" Harley nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, Samantha will be imprisoned for many years. This can be considered as karma for all the things she had done to Eudora." Amos didn''t say anything else. He went straight back to the ward after sending Harley off. Unexpectedly, he saw two uninvited guests in the ward as soon as he opened the door. They were Harry Granger and Kaylene Yoder. Eudora immediately cast a worried look at him, and Amos signaled her that it was fine. Then he walked in and said faintly, "Second Uncle!" "Amos, why didn¡¯t youe back recently? My older brother had always been talking about you. If you are free, you''d better go home! Go back and visit your family once in a while." "Ok, I will." replied Amos as he pursed his lips. "That''s good then! Your aunt and I already knew what Samantha had done. We are very upset that she has changed after going abroad. After contemting, we decided to visit Eudora to show our apology." Amos didn''t want to respond to their insincere words at all. Upon seeing that, Kaylene immediately cut an apple for Eudora. She said, "Come, have some fruits." "Thank you!" After Eudora took the apple, she put it directly on the table and did not eat it. Harry took the opportunity to change the topic. "Ah! Amos, there''s one more thing." Amos nced at Harry as if he was waiting for him to speak. "It''s about the Everpeace Group! Initially, you wanted to buy thepany, but thepany has already been bought over by TEM Inc. I wanted to inform you since you are no longer in thepany. Isn¡¯t it strange? TEM Inc, is in the US, and even if they want to explore the market in our country, it was not necessary for them to buy such a bigpany, right? Would you be so kind to analyse this matter for me since you stayed in the US for a long time." said Harry. Upon hearing this, Amos smiled calmly and said, "Second Uncle, I thought I have been suspended by thepany? Thepany''s affairs are in your hands now. You can always make the decision." Harry looked at Amos with suspicion. "Do you really think so?" asked Harry. "Yes, what do you expect?" Amos asked. "Okay then!" Harry said. "Since you said so, I will definitely help you to manage thepany well. You just have to focus on taking good care of Eudora!" After that, he got up and left with Kaylene. After they left, Eudora frowned and said, "Why did theye?" She really didn''t like the family of Harry Granger, especially after her past incidents with Samantha Cooper. How could they treat Samantha like that? Although Samantha was abominable, but her adopted parents just simply abandoned her after she was arrested, despite raising her for so many years. They were indeed scary. Because no one could ever guess what they would do the very next moment. The little woman began to worry again, and her beautiful brows wrinkled. Amos stretched out his hand and caressed her hair. "I will deal with them. Don''t worry about it! Otherwise, you will be an olddy if you keep frowning." Eudora suddenly snorted, "I¡¯m not old, you are!" "An old man matches with an old woman. What a great couple!" He always teased her, which made her embarrassed. She couldn''t help but refute, "Who is going to be a match with you? I am not!" "Really? Who mentioned that she wanted to have a baby with me?¡±Amosughed. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Eudora blushed. She swore that was the most regretful thing she had ever said. It was too embarrassing! Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Aunt Valerie came into the room with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand. "Come, it''s time to drink some soup." said Aunt Valerie. "Can I not drink it?" Eudora George was about to throw up as she had been drinking so much chicken soup recently. "No!" Amos Grangerughed. "How can you give birth to a baby if your body is weak?" "He¡¯s at it again!"Eudora thought. Eudora bit her lips and stared at him, meanwhile Aunt Valerie was very happy. "Are Miss and Sir finally ready to have a baby? Isn¡¯t that a good thing? Oh no, I have to prepare some other nutritional products for Miss then." Eudora was speechless. Amos changed the topic of conversation as he saw the little woman was about to have a mental breakdown. "I''ll go out for a while. You stay here with her. Don''t leave her alone at all.¡± Amos instructed Aunt Valerie. Aunt Valerie nodded. Amos bowed his head and kissed Eudora¡¯ s forehead before leaving the room. Aunt Valerie smiled after seeing their interactions. "What a perfect match!" she said. Eudora blushed, theny down on the bed and pretended to sleep. As soon as she fell asleep, someone knocked on the door. Aunt Valerie hurried to open the door. It was Christopher Gellert who came with some gifts. "I¡¯m sorry that it took me so long toe and see you after you''ve been hospitalised. I am upied with a lot of work since the merger. ¡° "It¡¯s fine!" Eudora was very happy. "How is the project going?" Christopher seemed to be in a good mood, especially after Eudora mentioned the project. "TEM is a trustworthypany. They really followed the agreement we made and purchased that area. Once you are discharged from the hospital, we can start the project immediately!" said Christopher. Eudora was stunned. "Are you guys waiting for me?" "Yes, why not? You''re the one who thought of the idea for this project!" She did not expect any good oue as her work had been dyed at that time. "Thank you!" Eudora said sincerely. "You''re wee!" After he finished talking, Christopher looked around the ward and couldn''t help but feel amazed. "I did not expect you to be so passionate about your work. I thought you would quit your job since President Granger takes good care of you." "No! It¡¯s my job, it has nothing to do with him. " Eudora retorted. "That''s good. We''ll be waiting for you toe back." said Christopher. At the Rosaville City Hotel. When Amos Granger arrived, Thomas Shelby was busy greeting his guests. When Thomas saw Amos, he walked over with a smile. "President Granger, how is it going? With the cooperation of the Cooper Family, the first phase of my project was a sess. Do you slightly regret it? Amos chuckled and said, "Congrattions then." "I don''t want you to congratte me. You know I''ve always wanted to work with you! I still have a big project that is still pending for your approval. What do you think?" Amos took a sip of wine and said, "We¡¯ll see!" "Hey! When did you be so indecisive? I''ve already given my woman to you. What''s wrong? Can''t we talk about business?" Amos said calmly, "It''s not that we can''t talk about it, but as you can see, I don''t have the right to decide onpany matters now. Besides, I thought you have already contacted my Second Uncle?" Upon hearing this, Thomas burst intoughter. "President Granger is indeed powerful! You knew all the partners I cooperate with in private, even though you seem like you do not care. Yes, you''re right! The Cooper Family and your Second Uncle are discussing the deal with me, but I still want to work with you." "Then I¡¯m afraid I might disappoint you. This time, I chose not to get involved," said Amos. Thomas was stunned. After a long while, he said with a smile, "Okay, okay. I got it." After leaving the ce, Clint Zuckerberg asked, "President Granger, what¡¯s our next move?" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Amos thought for a while and asked, "How''s the situation at my Second Uncle''s side?" "ording to our people, the Second Master seemed to be eager to take this batch of goods. Recently, he has been actively gathering money everywhere!" replied Clint. "Oh?" Amos smirked. "How about the funds that we had collected when we wanted to buy Everpeace Group?" "The financial department is holding on to the funds since the deal had failed.¡± Clint said, and a thought seemed to sh across his mind. "Wait, do you mean that the Second Master would use those funds?" "Probably." Amos replied. Harry Granger was not an honest person. In order to achieve his purpose, he would do anything; especially now that he became the head of thepany. No wonder Harry suddenly came to the hospital yesterday to ask him about the acquisition of Everpeace Group. "Get someone to keep an eye on him!" After saying that, Amos walked away. At the hospital, Eudora George had a stroll with Aunt Valerie in the garden, and they saw a kid flying a kite in the yard. She walked over and looked at it with great interest. As Aunt Valerie saw Eudora¡¯s expression, she smiled and asked, "Miss George, have you ever flown a kite when you were young?" Eudora shook her head. "No, that''s why I like it. When I was a child, my father was always very busy with his work, and I was always alone. There was one time that he had agreed to bring me out to fly a kite during the holidays, but he ended up apanying Kesha to the amusement park.¡± At this point, Eudora paused for a moment and then said with a smile, "Aunt Valerie, look at the kite, it''s flying so high up in the sky!" She did not receive any response from Aunt Valerie who stood behind her. She hurriedly turned around and saw Amos standing there while Aunt Valerie already disappeared. "You''re back?" Eudora asked. "Yes!" Amos reached out and cuddled her. "Do you want to fly a kite?¡± "Not really!" Eudora was a little embarrassed as her childish thoughts were unexpectedly heard by Amos. "I''ll apany you once you recover!" Amos said again. Eudora paused for a second, and then nodded immediately. "Remember what you just promised. I want you to make a kite with me." "People say that flying a kite that you made from scratch gives you a sense of aplishment." said Eudora excitedly. Amos couldn''t help but tease her, "Is it toote for me to take back my words ? " "You can¡¯t take it back!" The little woman pretended to be angry and red at him. "Okay! I won''t!" Amos said. In the evening, the doctor came to check on her. Eudora was informed that her wounds had started to heal, so she could be discharged from the hospital. However, she needed toe back to the hospital to get new medicines regrly. Eudora had been feeling bored in the hospital, so she requested for a discharge. The next morning, Aunt Valerie came to pack up Eudora¡¯s things. Amos personally drove Eudora back home. Eudora was finally rxed aftering home. At the thought of her work, she quickly went into her room to start working. As soon as she turned on theptop, it was taken away by someone. "Naughty girl! I knew you were thinking about using theptop as soon as you get back. The doctor asked you toe back and rest, not to work!" Amos nagged. "I''m really bored. Just let me look at it for a while. Please, just for a while!" begged Eudora. "Just for a while?" Amos asked. "Yes! I promise." Eudora said. After returning theptop to her, Amos looked at his watch and said, "Only half an hour. After that, you¡¯ll have to rest." "Okay!" As soon as Eudora finished speaking, she was already immersed in her work. Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Amos Granger shook his head helplessly. If Eudora George was a man, she might be more of a workaholic than he was. After that, Amos took a book out casually to read. He suddenly felt that he was really rxed like an old man. When his phone rang, he opened the door and went out. It was Clint Zuckerberg. "President Granger, the Second Master really used the funds that we collected. He used the funds to buy some piece ofnd. After investigating, I found out that the owner of thend was he himself, even though the official legal owner was registered as his wife¡¯s brother." said Clint anxiously. Harry Granger finally couldn''t hold back his greed anymore. Amos smiled faintly. "How about the Cooper family?" "Jeremy Cooper worked well with Thomas Shelbyst time. He was expected to win the deal, but he didn''t expect that there would be apetitor. He must be very upset after losing to the Second Master." "I would be worried if he wasn¡¯t upset!" Amosughed. Clint was confused by what Amos said,¡± What do you mean?¡± "Nothing. When will they make the deal?" Amos suddenly asked. "Most likely to be on the day after tomorrow. The venue is the Church of Repayment." replied Clint. Amos nodded and said, "It¡¯s a great venue.¡± After hanging up the phone, Amos looked at his wristwatch. It was already almost forty minutes, but the N?velDrama.Org owns this. little woman still had no intention to stop working. He carried her up from her seat as he frowned. Eudora was shocked. "Amos, you..." "It''s time for you to rest!" After saying that, he walked towards the bed. Eudora did not want to rest, because she had been resting in bed for half a month. Her back ached as soon as she saw the bed. "I don''t want to rest. How about I go downstairs to y with C? It¡¯s been a while since hest saw me.¡± Amos shook his head. "No." "Why?" Eudora uttered a wail. ¡°If you don''t have a good rest today, how can we go out tomorrow?" Amos said. "Hmm?" Eudora was stunned. "Are we going out tomorrow?" "Yeah, aren''t you bored?" "But I..." She rather stayed at home to check the drafts of the design blueprints. "Have you heard of the Church of Repayment? I heard that the Statue of Jesus there was very ancient. I know you always like to see this kind of art. Don''t you want to go and have a look?" As expected, Eudora suddenly became excited when she heard this. "Yes! I want to go.." "Then have a good rest! We''ll depart tomorrow morning." After that, he put the nket on Eudora andy down beside her. He had been sleeping on the small bed at the hospital, so he did not really sleep well recently. They soon fell asleep. The next day, Eudora George was carried by someone when she was still sleeping. Then, she found herself already in the car after she woke up. The car drove forward slowly as she was lying on Amos'' thighs. Amos was reading a book, and there was a soft sound of paper flipping from time to time. Eudora closed her eyes andy down for a little longer to enjoy the coziness . Then, she got up. The Church of Repayment was not very far away from their house. However, because of the rugged mountain roads, they still took a few hours to reach there. Just like Amos had mentioned, the Statue of Jesus was indeed an impressive European Sculpture. It gave off a strong sense of historical solemnity since it had been there for a long time. Eudora was energetic after seeing the statue. She took out her phone and started taking photos. When she finished taking photos, their rooms were already ready. Eudora sat down and looked at the photos she had taken after unpacking her luggage. While she was looking at the photos, Amos hugged her from behind. "Another half an hour has passed.''Amos reminded her. "Ah? What?"Eudora protested. "But I''m not tired!" "That does not change the rule that we set!" Amos directly carried her. The two of them then sat on a wooden couch by the window. There was a bamboo forest in the backyard. It was incredibly pleasant as the breeze blew on their face. Eudora looked at the scenery for a while and suddenly came up with an idea. She brought herptop over and started to design immediately as she looked at the bamboo forest. Since Amos had said that they would be together forever. Then she had to work harder and strive to reach the same level as him. She would prove herself to the Granger family with her own ability. She wanted them to know that she was the most suitable person for Amos even if she didn''te from a powerful and influential family. She was busy and did not pay attention to the time. When she was done with her design, it was already A nun was knocking on the door. "Sister, it''s dinner time." "Has it been that long already ?" Eudora was surprised. Amos had no choice but to say, "You really are a workaholic!" Everyone in the church had dinner together. The food tasted not bad, and Eudora enjoyed it. While they were eating, two people came into the dining ce. Amos stood up and said, "Second Uncle!" Harry Granger seemed to be surprised by the voice. When he saw Amos, he was also stunned for a while. "Why are you here?" "What else can I do here? Of course, I¡¯m here to worship God." replied Amos. Amos seemed to be hinting Harry with his words. Harryughed, "Yes. I¡¯m also here to worship God with my wife." Kaylene Yoder nodded and invited him, "Why don''t we sit together?" Eudora knew Amos well. She thought that he would reject the invitation. However, Amos nodded and said, "Sure!" Kaylene seemed to be surprised as well. After pausing for half a second, she took a seat. The atmosphere started to be a little awkward. After an awkward silence, Kaylene took the initiative to start a conversation by asking,"Miss George, are you feeling better?" "Oh, yeah. I feel much better." Eudora didn''t know what their intentions were, so she answered vaguely. Just as the dishes were served, the four of them started to eat quietly. After the meal, Harry asked them, "What¡¯s your n tomorrow? I remember that there is a mountain in the east which seems to be quite interesting. How about I ask your Second Aunt to bring you there tomorrow?" Amos smiled faintly when he heard that. "It seems God really changes you after your prayers. Second Uncle, your temper has be much better." Harry''s face froze, and then he said with a smile, "Am I not always good-tempered?" Just then, Amos''s cell phone rang. He got up and walked away. When he left, Kaylene asked Eudora again, "Tomorrow I will take you to the hill in the east..." "Sorry, I still haven¡¯t fully recovered yet. The doctor said it''s best for me to have enough rest. So, I''m afraid I can''t go!" Eudora was not stupid. She noticed that Amos deliberately ignored their invitation just now, which meant that he didn''t want to go at all. Besides, Harry¡¯ s family were not as kind as they seemed to be, so she did not want to get involved with them. However, they were still the elders, so it was inappropriate to reject them directly. Therefore, Eudora used her injury as an excuse to decline the invitation. As expected, Harry and Kaylene didn''t say anything further, then they got up and left. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Amos returned to the dining table after the call. Eudora was sitting there alone waiting for him. Eudora saw the suspicion in his eyes and answered, "I declined their invitation. I told them that my wound is notpletely healed yet." Her eyes were sparkling as if she was waiting for hispliments. Amos sneered, "You are as clever as a fox." Eudora pouted her lips. "If I were a fox, aren''t you the big, old fox? Didn¡¯t you just refuse..." Eudora had been arguing with him a lot, but he liked it as she seemed to be more lively than before. However, the term "old fox" sounded a little bit awkward. "You¡¯re a cunning vixen!" Amos teased. She quickly replied, "You are a sneaky reynard!" Amos nodded with satisfaction. "That''s why we are destined to be together!" Eudora was speechless. She could never win against Amos. They returned to their room in the evening. Eudora turned on herptop to check her design drafts but Amos turned it off without a second thought. She went for a quick wash-up andy in the bed while listening to the wind whistling outside the window. She rolled on the bed trying to fall asleep. Bang! Eudora heard a thunderous sound from the yard. Startled, she quickly flipped the light switch. Amos grabbed her hand and asked, "What¡¯ s wrong?" "Didn¡¯t you hear it?" Eudora asked. "What did you hear?" Amos questioned. "That''s impossible! I heard a loud bang just now!" Eudora insisted. "You must have heard it wrong!" Amos pulled her back into his arms and said, "Let¡¯s sleep." Eudora didn¡¯t feel secure and tried to get out of his arms. "I really heard it," repeated Eudora. "Eudora, you¡¯re ying with fire!" His hoarse voice reminded her that she was in his arms. Her whole body froze and she stuttered, "I don''t mean... Well..." The man¡¯s lips met hers urately in the dark. Since Eudora was injured, Amos had been holding in every time he smelled her seductive scent. Now, with her in his arms, he was going to unleash his deepest desire. Eudora was panting heavily as Amos kissed her. She gave in to him after struggling for a while and forgot about the loud bang she heard just now. Amos'' eyes became ssy after the kiss. Eudora''s body melted against his passionate touch, and especially after the intense kiss, her skin glowed under the moonlight as if she was asking him not to stop. Amos kissed her again but more gently this time while undressing himself and Eudora. His hands slowly moved from Eudora''s shoulders and to other parts of her body. He caressed her neck, then down her spine, and eventually to her waist. Eudora¡¯s heart was pounding in her chest. She murmured, "It¡¯s ticklish..." The man¡¯s hand paused at the unhealed scars on her waist. She had both on her forehead and waist. The one on her waist was long and linear, like a centipede. Eudora¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed Amos away and mumbled, "Don¡¯t look at it." Amos, on the other hand, locked her onto the bed with his powerful grip while his fingers gently caressed the scar repeatedly. His face gradually darkened. He turned her around while he lowered himself to her waist and kissed on the scar. Eudora couldn¡¯t resist him. His kiss was both gentle and warm. He moved from her waist back to her lips. His hoarse voice echoed in the room as he looked at her seriously. "Can I?" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Eudora¡¯s mind went nk. She nodded subconsciously. The air in the room was heated at once. The evening was bound to be a sleepless night. Eudora woke up in the afternoon the next day. Amos wasn¡¯t seen in the room. Her cheeks flushed at the thought of what happenedst night. Eudora then went out of the room and enjoyed the warm breeze blowing in her face. Amos was standing under a tree not far away. He was dressed in his light- colored casual clothes, gorgeous as usual. Eudora''s heart beamed and she ran to him immediately. "Amos..." She shouted. Before she could finish her words, she saw the Old Master standing next to him. She didn''t see him just now as he was behind the tree. When the Old Master saw her, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here? The men are talking." Eudora didn¡¯t want to meet the old man who always made her feel ufortable either. She stopped at once. "I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in your conversation. However, you should get yourself a bodyguard if you don¡¯t want others to hear it,¡± Eudora mocked. ¡°I will leave first as I still have other matters to attend to!" She turned around and walked away immediately. Anger poured through the Old Master. He roared, "This is outrageous! Is this her attitude when she talks to an elder?" Amos answered, "She¡¯s right. You should bring two bodyguards with you next time." "You..." The Old Master was so angry that he was lost for words. He changed the topic of conversation and continued, "Do you really not know how your uncle got injured?" Amos shook his head. "I don''t know." "Fine!" The Old Master grabbed his crutch angrily. "I''ll go and see him!" Eudora walked around with her camera. She found both the statue of Jesus and the scenery behind the church magnificent. As she was taking a photo, she heard footsteps from her back. She turned around and saw Amos walking towards her from a turmeric flower field. It was so picturesque as if he was walking out of a painting. Eudora quickly captured the beautiful moment with her camera. Amos took her camera away while she asked, "Are you done talking with the Old Master?" Amos smiled. "Are you still upset?" "Why should I? I know that he doesn''t like me. On top of that, I think he would be more upset at me," Eudora replied. ¡°You¡¯ re getting more eloquent!" Amos grinned helplessly. "My uncle is injured. He is here to see him!" "Hmm?" Eudora¡¯s jaw dropped a little. "He was just fine yesterday. Could it be rted to the loud bang I heardst night?" Amos chose not to answer and just held her hand. In the room, Harryy in bed after being treated. Kaylene looked at him worriedly. "Howe the stone would fall down all of a sudden? Fortunately, your injury is not that bad." "Enough!" Agitated, Harry shouted, "How''s the preparation for our deal this afternoon?" "The money is ready, but how are you going to go? Besides, I don¡¯t know the purpose of your brother being here. Should we postpone the deal?¡± Kaylene replied. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Anger thrummed through Harry¡¯ s veins upon hearing that. "Why should we do that? We have been working so hard for this opportunity. I will go and meet them regardless." He got up and ordered her, ¡°Pass me my clothes." Kaylene knew that it was impossible for her to convince Harry otherwise, so she got up and passed his clothes to him. Harry repeated a few important points of his n to Kaylene before they departed. "You watch over my brother after I leave. Stall him if he is looking for me. I¡¯ll be back soon." "Okay!" Kaylene nodded. After Harry left, she headed to the Old Master¡¯s room with a box in her hands. Amos¡¯ cell phone rang again. It was Clint on the phone. He updated him on Harry¡¯ s whereabouts, "The Second Master has gone out and is heading to the West Mountain." "What about the Cooper family?" asked Amos. "They are also there now. I feel like they really are desperate to get the deal.¡± "Let them be! We will just sit back and enjoy the ¡®show¡¯!" Amos hung up the phone and looked at Eudora. "Shall we go?¡± Eudora nodded. She had taken enough pictures of the ce. They ambled down the road and saw the Old Master ying chess with Kaylene in the yard. Kaylene was about to lose to the Old Master. Everyone could tell that the Old Master was getting impatient. Amos raised his eyebrows and walked over to them with Eudora. Kayleneughed when she saw them. "Amos, thank God you''re here! Your father is indeed an expert in chess. I''m no match for him. Do you want to give it a try?" Amos rejected her invitation, "I can''t really use my hand now." His hands were still in bandages. Eudora rolled her eyes secretly when she thought of how ''functional'' his hands werest night. "I¡¯m done!" The Old Master put down his pawn and said. Kaylene became anxious instantly. "I can help you to move the piece if your hands are hurt," Kaylene suggested. Amos smiled and replied, "Aunt, don''t you need to keep unclepany?" Amos could sense her desperation. "He is asleep..." Kaylene lied. At the same time, the Old Master looked at her and interrupted," Oh, really? Let¡¯s go and see him." "Brother!" Kaylene stopped him right away. "I wouldn''t dare to lie to you! Harry asked me to y chess with you since you havee all the way here. He¡¯s so sorry that he cannot meet you himself." The Old Master wasn''t deceived by Kayleene¡¯s made-up lies. He felt more suspicious seeing her trying so hard to stop him. "Thank you for being considerate, Kaylene. Since we are done here, let''s go and see him now!" said the Old Master as he stood up with his crutch. The servants behind him quickly came forward to help him while Kaylene followed after him. "Brother, look! The scenery there is so beautiful. Shall we go there for a while?" Kaylene was not giving up. She continued, "Someone told me that there¡¯s a beautifulke over there!¡± "Shut up!" The Old Master yelled. He was not going to trust Kaylene again. Knowing that she had messed up, Kaylene looked at her feet quietly. They passed through the yard and went straight for Harry''s room. As expected, no one was in the room. The Old Master frowned and asked, "Where is he? Didn''t you say that he was sleeping?" Kaylene tried to make up another excuse. "Perhaps he went to the restroom. I¡¯ll go and check.¡± "No, you stay here. The butler will go!" ordered the Old Master. When the butler was about to leave the room, someone from outside screamed, "Second Madam! Something¡¯s wrong!" Kaylene recognized the voice and quickly replied, "Why are you shouting?" It was the guy who left with Harry just now. The man immediately shut his mouth when he saw the people in the room. The Old Master frowned and asked, "What''s the matter?" The man nced at Kaylene and kept quiet. "Say it!" The Old Master hit the ground with his crutch. "Will you be responsible if something goes wrong?¡± Without a doubt, the Old Master¡¯s threat worked. The man told them everything that he knew. "Something happened to the Second Master. He is at the West Mountain." Dumbstruck, Kaylene asked, "What happened?" The man hesitated for a moment and replied, "He was robbed!" "What?" Kaylene''s heart sank. "Where is he now?" The man answered, "He¡¯s hurt. We are carrying him back now." Harry was carried into the room before the man finished talking. His injury looked pretty bad. His face was filled with annoyance and frustration. "I¡¯m certainly not going to forgive the Coopers." "Say that again!" The Old Master mmed the table and stood up. Only then did Harry notice the Old Master in the room. He nced at Kaylene. Kaylene lowered her head knowing that the situation had gone out of control. "Brother, why are you here?" Harry asked softly. Fury roared through the Old Master''s mind. "I know that you have something up your sleeve when you asked her to distract me. But, I did not expect that you would go and make a deal with someone else behind my back. What''s worse is you end up losing both the deal and the money! You¡¯ re indeed my brother! You''d better tell me everything you have done," the Old Master exploded. Harry gritted his teeth. "Brother, hear me out! It''s not what you think it is. I just wanted to impress you after taking over Valiant East. It was meant to be a surprise, that¡¯s why I didn''t tell you about it. It''s for thepany¡¯s sake. ¡° "For thepany¡¯s sake?" The Old Master snorted. "Then what about the Cooper Family? Do you think that I don''t know what kind of business they have been doing? Why do we need to get involved with them?" The Old Master raged. Although the Old Master had been ill, his mind remained clear. No one could fool him. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "If you are not going to tell me exactly what happened today, then leave the Granger family at once!¡± The Old Master glowered. Harry clenched his teeth and bellowed, "Yes! I admit that I did that for my own benefit. But what¡¯s so wrong with that? It was all because of you! How long do my family and I have to live under your thumb?¡± The Old Master trembled with rage. "Under my thumb? Is this what you think all this while?¡± Harry shouted, "Yeah? In the past, everyone listened to you in the Granger Family. Then you became the head of the family. Hank was supposed to take over you after that. Is it Amos'' turn now then? You never treated me like I was your brother. Since Steven has grown up, I have to start thinking about my future." The Old Master clenched his fist. "Of course, you should start thinking about your future. So from now on, don¡¯te to thepany!" "Brother!" Harry held the Old Master''s leg and pleaded, "I¡¯m sorry. I will never do it again. Please give me another chance!" The Old Master frowned. Meanwhile, his assistant received a phone call. He walked to the Old Master immediately and whispered into his ears. The Old Master went cold with fury. "You even embezzled from thepany funds!¡± Chapter 69 Chapter 69 The strict rules and regtions set by the Old Master had made Valiant East a sessfulpany. Anyone who vited the rules, regardless of who he was, would bear the consequences. Hank Granger vited one of the rules for a woman, so he was thrown away and left to die outside. Harry knew that his life was over. He desperately grabbed the Old Master''s legs, begging. But the Old Master refused to even look at him. "You''ve let me down, Harry. From now on, Steven and you are suspended from work. You''d better stay at home and don''t appear in front of me!" The Old Master stomped out with his assistant¡¯s help. Amos followed and left the room with Eudora while Harry screamed, "Amos Granger, it was you who nned all these, didn''t you?" Amos raised his eyebrows and replied, "Uncle, you can¡¯t simply use others just because you are in a bad mood. Aren¡¯t you the one who brought this upon yourself?" Amos went out with Eudora right away. A loud bang came from the room. Someone was apparently smashing things. As they returned, they saw the Old Master waiting for them outside the room. "Come over. Let''s have a talk," he said. Eudora turned to leave at once, knowing that her presence would not be weed. However, the Old Master asked her to stay. "Youe over too," he instructed. Eudora raised her eyebrows. ¡°Have a seat," he added. He sighed and said, "Amos, you have rested long enough. Thepany needs you now. You need to get the money back from the Coopers. Go to work tomorrow." Amos¡¯ eyes widened. "But my vacation¡¯s not over yet." "You..." The Old Master¡¯s face froze, and he turned to Eudora. "How do you feel now, Miss George? Shall I ask the doctor to do a check-up for you?" It was the first time that he showed his concern over her. Eudora looked at him, she knew he wanted her help to persuade Amos. However, she couldn¡¯t deny that it was indeed a good opportunity for Amos to return to thepany. "I feel much better," Eudora answered softly. "Since Miss George has recovered, you don¡¯t have to stay by her side the entire day.¡± The Old Master stared at Amos. He paused for a while and continued, ¡¯¡¯ I will not concern myself with your rtionship in the future." He got up and walked away while holding his assistant¡¯s arm. Eudora was overjoyed hearing that. "Did he mean that he won''t intervene in our rtionship anymore? Then we..." "Are you that happy?" Amos looked at her and grinned. Eudora nodded hurriedly. "Aren¡¯t you?" Amos did not say a word and took her into his arms. They went back home from the church in the afternoon. Eudora had almost recovered after the trip - all thanks to the fresh air there. Amos went to thepany the next morning. Aunt Valerie was all ready when Eudora woke up. ¡°Sir asked me to go to the hospital with you for your check-up." Eudora felt that it wasn''t necessary for her to go for the check- up. However, Aunt Valerie insisted on making her go. After the check- up, the doctor dered that her wounds were almost fully healed. She just had to take good care of herself from now on. Aunt Valerie was ted to hear that. "Thank goodness. I''ll go to the market to buy some food for you. You have to quickly recover to give birth to a baby." Eudora¡¯s face flushed as she didn''t expect that Aunt Valerie would remember it. Aunt Valerie didn¡¯t think that it was something to be ashamed of. "Giving birth to a baby is a natural process. You don''t have to feel embarrassed," she eximed. The two of them left the hospital as they were talking. They bumped into Harry at the hospital entrance. Steven was holding his arm with Kaylene on his other side. They didn¡¯t seem to be doing quite well. Harry gritted his teeth when he overheard Eudora and Aunt Valerie¡¯s conversation. He greeted, "Miss George!" Eudora paused and looked at Harry. She didn''t want to have anything to do with them. Harry sneered and asked, "Do you think Amos really likes you? It''s impossible for a person like him to fall in love!" Eudora frowned. "How could you say that when you''re his uncle?" "Uncle?" Heughed as if Eudora was saying something ridiculous. "He¡¯s the one who did all these to me. Just like now he had sacrificed me for you, he''s going to sacrifice you and hurt you one day for someone else. Don¡¯t be manipted by him. Take my advice! You don¡¯t know him at all!" "Thank you so much, Second Master. I''ll make the judgment on my own!" Eudora replied. On their way back, Aunt Valerie nagged, "He went too far. How could he say such a thing about his own nephew? Miss George, believe me, Sir is definitely not the kind of person he said he was." Eudora nodded. "I know." As she spoke, her phone rang. Amos asked on the other end of the phone, "How did the check-up go?" "It''s all right!" Eudora eximed, "What about you? How''s it going in thepany?" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "Perfect!" Amos lowered his voice and added, "Wash up and wait for me toe home." Eudora blushed. She was about to raise her voice but decided not to as Aunt Valerie was beside her. "Bye!" Amos hung up the phone and returned to the private room. Jeremy was sitting before Amos with his legs crossed. He smiled, "I haven''t settled with your family about the matter of your uncle. Why did youe to me?" Amos sat back and stared at him. His face was expressionless and cold. "Mr. Cooper, you shouldn''t mix things up. We don¡¯t deal with the personal matter between my uncle and you. However, the money you robbed was from Valiant East. I don¡¯t think you would want to go against us, am I right?¡± "I don''t care. It''s Harry who sent me the money!" Jeremy was indeed a rogue businessman. Amosughed, "It looks like you¡¯ve made your choice. Then I shall pass this clip to the police." He stood up and left instantly. Jeremy¡¯ s expression changed. "What do you mean?" Amos nced at Clint, who then immediately started showing a video in front of Jeremy. The video was about Jeremy''s deal with Thomas Shelby. His face darkened before he burst out "F*ck, no wonder Valiant East can be so sessful under your lead. I give up!¡± Jeremy nced at his assistant who quickly returned the box he robbed from Harry to Amos. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Clint took the box and checked the contents. Then he said to Amos, "Yes, it''s our box." "Thank you very much, Mr. Cooper." Amos stood up. Jeremy stopped him before he could leave. ¡°Hold on!¡± ¡°It¡¯s been quite a while since west talked. Our families have always been in a good rtionship. We were quite close when your brother was still alive, weren''t we?" said Jeremy in a cordial tone. "What are you trying to say?" asked Amos. Jeremy didn''t expect Amos to be so cold to him. He faked a smile to hide his embarrassment. "Well, you¡¯ re much more capable than your uncle. Let me go straight to the point then. If we coborate, we will definitely win over Thomas Shelby. So, let¡¯s work together! What do you think? Isn¡¯t this a much easier way to earn money?" suggested Jeremy. ''T m sorry. On behalf of Valiant East, we¡¯ re not interested in that!" Amos rejected. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He turned around and walked out. Jeremy snorted, "Hmph! Let''s see how long you can keep your pride!¡± "President Granger, people have been saying that Jeremy Cooper is vindictive and revengeful. I¡¯m afraid that you will get into trouble if you rejected him like that,¡± Clint reminded after leaving the ce. Amos smiled and said, "Do you think he will stay still if I ept his offer? He was already offended from the moment we threatened him with the clip." "That¡¯s true. Are we heading back to thepany now?" asked Clint. Amos looked at his wristwatch and shook his head. "You bring the money back to thepany. I''ll drive home myself," said Amos. Clint nodded and left. As soon as Amos entered the house, he saw Eudora, who wore her red dress, sitting on the sofa waiting for him patiently. She also set up a candlelight dinner in the living room. She looked like a bride waiting for her groom. Amos could not hide his smile as he walked towards her. His eyes were fixed on her blushed face. She quickly exined, ¡°It was Aunt Valerie''s idea. Actually I... hmm...¡± Her words were lost in his kiss. Although he had kissed her so many times, he still longed for her lips. His lips gently touched hers. He chuckled and held her in his arms when he noticed Eudora clung to his neck. ¡± You look so beautiful today.¡± His voice was so attractive, like a ma. Eudora blushed. ¡°Let¡¯s eat before the food turns cold.¡± Amos shook his head. "Don''t worry about it. You''re more delicious than the food." Eudora didn¡¯t know how to react to his words. The next moment she was already carried onto the dining table by him. Without wasting time, his lips covered hers again. Lying on the table was a little ufortable and slightly hurt. Amos slipped his hands under her waist while he kissed her corbone. His lips brushed against her skin and went down slowly. He was so gentle and slow as if he was savoring every part of her body. The touch of his hands ignited her desire, that sent shivers through her nerves, making her eyes ssy. Eudora gripped on Amos¡¯ arms as if she was drowning. "Are you hungry?" asked Amos. His hoarse voice echoed in her ears. She nodded, and shook her head immediately. "Open your mouth," he instructed. Eudora opened her mouth subconsciously. The next second, a piece of steak was put into her mouth, followed by another round of passionate kiss. They were already fully undressed by the time they finished the steak. Eudora could feel his erection between her legs. Amos inhaled deeply and said," I¡¯ll go and get..." "No!" Eudora grabbed his hand. "We don''t need that. Didn¡¯t we agree to stay together forever and have our own children? If it''s a baby boy, you will teach him how to be a gentleman. If it''s a baby girl, I will make her a princess. We will watch them grow and make them the happiest children in the world." Eudora¡¯s eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky. She grabbed his waist before he could reply. His eyes darkened again before his lips smashed against hers. The ''dinner''sted for a long time. By the end of it, Eudora wasn''t sure if it was real, or if she was dreaming. While she was half asleep, Amos carried her upstairs to clean up. "Let¡¯s go fly a kite. Your birthday is "Okay," Eudora answered softly and fell asleep. The next day, Amos had already left before Eudora woke up. She recalled the mess they made downstairsst night and hurriedly went down. However, Aunt Valerie had helped to clean up everything. She smiled brightly at Eudora when she saw her. "You must be exhausted. Please go back and rest.¡± Eudora blushed. She quickly turned around and hit on someone''s chest. She looked up and saw Amos. "Why are you still here?" "Do you not want to see me?" Amos questioned. "I didn''t say that!" Eudora covered her face. Amos grabbed her arm and looked into her eyes. "I have to go now. Go back to your room and rest.¡± In front of Aunt Valerie, he kissed on her forehead before he turned around and went out. The sound of a car engine starting up was heard from outside. "He really cares about you,¡± said Aunt Valerie with a smile. Eudora looked down as she tried to hide the smile on her face. She went back to bed after he left. She could still feel Amos¡¯ scent in the room, which had been keeping her awake. She looked up and suddenly recalled what Amos said when she was half asleep She sat up instantly. Gordon had always been busy ever since her mother passed away. No one in the family remembered her birthday. Not even after she went to Felix. Every year on her birthday, she would just buy herself a cake. Eventually, she stopped doing that. Sometimes, it was better to forget something rather than to remember it. However, she couldn¡¯t help but look forward to her birthday this year. She realized that the reason she was reluctant to celebrate her birthdays was because no one else would share her happiness. Eudora got up and decided to go to the mall. She thought that it would be better to buy a bigger cake so that she could share it with Amos and Aunt Valerie. After leaving the mall, she headed to an alley. When she was a child, her mother often brought her to a shop nearby to buy the materials needed to make a kite. She was worried that she might not be able to find the exact same shop again. Fortunately, it was still there. However, the owner had changed. A middle-aged woman eximed, "Hello Miss! We sell all kinds of kites! The best in the town!" "Do you have some wooden dowels and papers used to make a kite? I n to make one myself," asked Eudora. Chapter 71 Chapter 71 The woman paused for a while and answered, "Miss, no one makes a kite by themselves anymore nowadays. Look, our kites are nice and they are not expensive." Eudora shook her head and was about to leave the shop. The woman quickly shouted, "But we do sell semi-finished kites. I will ask my husband to make one for you in three days." She thought about it for a while and agreed to the woman¡¯s suggestion. She wrote down her address on a piece of paper. "Can you deliver to this address once you are done?¡± asked Eudora. The woman nodded and promised, "Sure." Eudora went home happily. Seeing Aunt Valerie was doing house chores, Eudora changed into a set offy clothes and volunteered, ¡°Let me help you!¡± Aunt Valerie shook her head hurriedly. "You should not do this.¡± "What are you talking about? I''ve not been working at all. I¡¯m so bored with just staying at home. Isn''t it okay for me to help you a bit with the chores?¡¯ Aunt Valerie couldn¡¯t refute her points. "Then, would you please tidy up Sir''s study? It¡¯s not that messy though." Eudora nodded. "Okay, leave it to me!" Amos¡¯ study was indeed quite clean and tidy. Eudora took a rag and started cleaning the bookshelves while arranging the books. Eudora noticed that his books were gathering dust. Apparently, Amos never allowed Aunt Valerie to touch his books. Eudora thought that she must clean them thoroughly today since she had the chance. Eudora took the books out from the bookshelves one by one. A piece of paper slipped out from a book and it almost fell into a pail of water she brought. Startled, Eudora quickly picked it up. It turned out that to be an old photo. A boy and a girl were seen in the photo. Eudora could recognize that he was Amos in his 10s. However, she had never seen the girl before. She looked much younger than Amos in the photo. They looked rather close and this made Eudora feel a bit uneasy. Aunt Valerie came in and panicked when she saw Eudora staring at the photo. "Miss, you can''t take this out. Please put it back now! If Sir finds out about this, he will be furious. He has forbidden me to touch his bookshelves after I identally cleaned it years ago," said Aunt Valerie. Eudora¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She thought, "Is this so precious to him?" After putting the books back onto the bookshelves, Eudora emptied the pail. She went back to her room andy on her bed. She could not stop thinking of the girl in the photo. Amos looked so different in the photo. She could see his warm smile in there. When Amos came home, he saw Aunt Valerie in the living room, cleaning up. He looked around to search for Eudora. "She is upstairs," Aunt Valerie told him. "Okay!" Amos went straight upstairs. He entered the room and saw Eudora lying on the bed. He took off his coat and slowly walked towards her and hugged her from the back. Surprised, Eudora turned around at once. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re back.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "Yeah!" Amos nodded. "Why are you in bed?" She would usually seize the opportunity to check on her designs instead of resting. "Nothing! I¡¯m just tired," Eudora answered. Amos thought about their time togetherst night and kissed on her forehead. "Rest then!" Eudora closed her eyes while Amos stayed beside her for a while before he headed to his study. As soon as he entered the room, he realized that someone had touched his books. He frowned and walked to the bookshelves before he turned around and went out of the room again. "Aunt Valerie, did you touch my books?" Amos questioned. Aunt Valerie hurriedly went upstairs and stuttered, "Sir, I..." Eudora came out of the bedroom and interrupted, "It¡¯ s not her. It was me who arranged your books." Aunt Valerie could sense the tension in the air and quickly exined," It was my fault to ask for her help, Sir." Seeing their reaction, Amos pondered for a while before he continued, "Please excuse us, Aunt Valerie." Aunt Valerie nced at Eudora again and went downstairs, worried. Amos gazed at Eudora''s serious face and asked, "Did you see that photo?" Eudora didn¡¯t expect that Amos would mention the photo before she did. Judging by his expression, Eudora knew that the photo meant a lot to him. She couldn''t help but feel upset. Eudora nodded lightly, "Sorry, I didn''t mean to see it." Amos chuckled and put his hands around her waist. "Are you angry?" asked Amos. Eudora took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. "No, I¡¯m not." "Really?" Amos did not believe her. Eudora stayed tight- lipped while Amos kissed on her eye. "She once saved my life, but unfortunately she has passed away." "She died?" Eudora''s heart trembled. She found herself ridiculous just now. "I''m sorry," Eudora apologized. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You didn¡¯t know about this,¡± Amos reassured, ¡°I''m very happy and contented knowing that you¡¯re by my side." Eudora circled her arms around his waist and buried herself in his chest. ¡°I¡¯ll be with you forever." "Good girl!" Amos replied. Eudora was unusually forting in bed that evening. Her soft and delicate body clung on Amos. It was as if she wanted to give him everything she had. Eudoray in his arms and smiled with satisfaction after the ¡®exercise¡¯. "I''m feeling much better now. Can I go back to work tomorrow?" asked Eudora. Her voice was exceptionally attractive. His gaze darkened and grabbed her shoulder. "Is that why you were ¡¯working¡¯ so hard just now?" He teased. "Of course not." Eudora pouted. "I have been resting for a long time. When Christopher came to visit mest time in the hospital, he mentioned that they will wait for me before they start working on another project," said Eudora. Amos did not respond to her. Eudora cuddled him tighter and begged, "Please..." She rarely acted cute in front of him, but when she did, she looked like a kitten that made his heart flutter. He pulled her up and made her sit on his chest. He said, "That depends on your performance tonight." Eudora was confused initially but understood right away when she was put in that position. She blushed. "I don''t want to do it." "You don''t want to? Hmm?" Amos questioned. Eudora pursed her lips and sat upright. When they were in the midst of the process, he finally agreed to her request. Eudora woke up early the next morning. Amos could see Eudora going back and forth in the room, happily. She seemed to be so lively after she changed into her working suits and did her makeup. She noticed that Amos was staring at her and asked, ¡°Good morning. How do I look in this?" She looked especially beautiful in her ssic formal attire. However, he felt a little uneasy when he thought of others would see her beautiful woman. But he quickly concealed his emotion from Eudora seeing how ted she was. He nodded and praised, "You look wonderful." Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Eudora was so happy. She ran towards Amos and gave him a kiss. She sealed his lips with a French kiss and said, "Oh look at you!" She burst intoughter when she saw the man''s lips covered with red smears from her lipstick. After breakfast, they went to work separately. She wasn''t in the office for nearly half a month. She felt a little nervous when she was on her way. TEM Inc. had changed the decoration of thepany after acquiring it. Now it looked a lot more professional. Eudora went upstairs. The entire office was unusually quiet. The atmosphere in thepany was suffocating. It was as if thepany was in another crisis. She quickly entered her office when a chill ran down her spine. Eudora crept toward her seat carefully in the noiseless office. She turned around immediately when she heard footsteps behind her. Bang! Christopher smiled at her. He had a party popper in his hand. He eximed, "Wee back!" Eudora covered her chest and looked at her colleagues. "You guys scared me to death!" She shouted. "You must be thinking that ourpany is going to close down again, aren¡¯t you?" Christopher teased. "President Gellert, you shouldn¡¯t say that!" One of the colleagues replied with a smile. "Yes, President Gellert! You have to treat us to coffee today in return." "Sure!" Christopher eximed, "Coffee is on me!" "Thank you, President Gellert!" Everyone went back to their seats afterward. Eudora was ready to work. Now that no one was going to disturb her again, she took out her design drafts. "This is the draft I drew at home recently. However, I have a few safety concerns. Please have a look. I will make the necessary amendments if there is any problem," said Eudora. Christopher took the draft from her and studied it carefully. He replied, "It seems like you''re in a good mood. President Granger must be treating you well." "Not too bad!" Eudora answered with a smile. Christopher raised his eyebrows. "That''s good. I''ll have a look at this first and we''ll talkter." Christopher turned around and was about to leave the office. He paused for a while and suggested, "Let¡¯s have a team dinner tonight to celebrate your return. I¡¯m sure President Granger would not be too bothered by it. Am I right?" Eudora was surprised at Christopher''s words. She rolled her eyes secretly when she remembered the argument between Christopher and Amos. "I will be there on time," Eudora agreed instantly. "That''s good!" Christopher replied. After Christopher left, Eudora pondered for a while and sent a message to Amos. It read, "Attending a team dinner tonight. Will be homete." Soon, Amos replied, "Enjoy.¡± It was totally unanticipated. Eudora pursed her lips and replied, "MUA~". Amos grinned at Eudora¡¯s text. The department manager, who was reporting his weekly progress, stared at him in disbelief. The documents in his hands dropped on the floor. He thought, ¡°What did I just see? Did he just smile?" In the evening. At Shelby¡¯s private club. The colleagues were babbling among themselves. "I can¡¯t believe that President Gellert is so generous. This ce looks expensive," said one of them. "This is all thanks to Eudora. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money?" Another one teased. Eudora was astounded at their remarks. She chimed in, "Don''t make this kind of joke. President Gellert treats everyone equally." They looked at each other and chuckled. One of the colleagues stood up and suggested, "Let''s have a toast! If it weren''t for Eudora and Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. President Gellert, we might have lost our jobs!" "That¡¯s right! To Eudora!" A man added. Everyone lifted their sses in the air. Eudora finished a ss of wine at one shot. But, they didn''t want to let her go and made her get up for another round of toast. Christopher stood in front of Eudora and stopped them. "Shouldn¡¯t you all propose a toast to your boss first?" One of them screamed, "Wooo, are you protecting her now?" Eudora blushed and answered quickly, "It doesn''t matter. I can handle this!" Christopher took another ss with Eudora, too. He jabbered, "C¡¯ mon, let¡¯s drink to our hearts'' satisfaction!" Eudora frowned while the colleague next to her asked curiously, "Eudora, do you know President Gellert visited you every day when you were hospitalized?" Anotherdy in ck suit added, "That''s right. I saw his car several times when I passed by." Eudora thought, ¡°But I had only seen him once." "I was just doing my work. Stop talking nonsense!" Christopher quickly exined. Eudora nodded and smiled awkwardly. "I need to use the washroom." Christopher quickly chased after her and asked, "Are you okay? They are just making jokes." "I''m fine!" Eudora turned around and went to the washroom. She sshed some water on her face and leaned against the washroom door for a while. She was a little dizzy when she was on her way back to the room. A man stood in front of her and blocked her way. "Hey, beauty! Why are you alone?" Eudora cursed in her heart and answered, "My boyfriend is over there. He wille and look for me soon if I don''t go back." The man was not surprised. "So what? Ask your boyfriend toe and fight with me. Let¡¯s see who is stronger?" He reached out his hand and grabbed Eudora''s arm. Eudora took a step back and frowned. "Get out of my way." "Ohh, you¡¯re tough! I like it!" He pulled her into his arms. In another private room in Shelby¡¯s private club. Amos took a sip of wine from the ss in his hand. Harley Louis was babbling next to him. "Why did you buy that ce? I thought you¡¯ re reluctant to talk about it." Amos¡¯ expression changed slightly. "Let bygones be bygones. Time to bid farewell to the past." "That''s true!" Harley sighed. "We''ll tear the ce down, build a yground, and bury all the unpleasant things. Let¡¯s do whatever we want!" Amos didn''t say a word. He was reminded of Eudora¡¯ s confession. Her voice echoed in his mind. "I''ll always be with you." He nodded while the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Harley immediately covered his mouth. "Something¡¯ s going on! Boss, you''re so in love!" Amos threw a lighter at him and roared, "Shut up!" While they were talking, the door was pushed open from the outside and a group of people rushed in. Thomas Shelby entered the room with two beautiful women in his arms while his men followed behind him. "President Granger, it''s so difficult for me to find you!" Amos frowned and immediately greeted, "President Shelby, it''s been a while since west met." Thomas sneered, "It really is. I even helped you when we met previously. But why did you ruin my business? How should we settle this now?" Chapter 73 Chapter 73 It was quite obvious that Thomas was here for Amos. Harley stood up immediately and warned. "Thomas, this is not the ce for you to do this." Thomas looked at Harley. "Yo! Is this Officer Louis? I did not do anything illegal here. I am just here to chat with my old friend. There shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?" Harley frowned. "You know very well what kind of business you are doing. Don''t provoke me." "Thank you for your advice, officer. But I am a good citizen now." Thomas looked at Amos and continued, "President Granger, you messed up two of my businesses. What are you going to do now? Are you not going to give me an exnation?" Amos replied with a faint smile on his face. "What kind of exnation are you expecting?" "Ah!" Thomas pinched one of thedies'' breasts while smiling proudly at Amos. "Why don¡¯t you be my coborator? Who else canpete with you now in Rosaville City? Do you remember what I told youst time, that if we coborate, we will be unbeatable." "Ha..." Amos smiled. "Thank you for your kindness, President Shelby. Everyone has their own ambitions. I will definitely give you a hand if you ask me for help in real estate development. But, if it¡¯s something else, I don¡¯t think I can be helpful." Thomas'' face darkened instantly. "Amos, are you kidding me? I remember that you did a lot more terrible things when you were still in the States. Are you telling me that you are turning into a new leaf now? Are you f*cking kidding me?" Several men behind him put their hands into their coats and grabbed their weapons. All of a sudden, a few men shed out from behind them in a split second and pointed a baseball bat at Thomas. Thomas immediately knew who they were and broke out in cold sweat. He quickly concealed his fear in a smile. He sneered. "I knew it! It''s impossible for a person like you to change!" Charlie pushed him with the bat again and Thomas held his tongue instantly. He quickly added, "Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding. President Granger is right. It¡¯s not right to do such things." "You may leave now!" Charlie said coldly. Thomas left with his men right away. Charlie only let go of Thomas after they left the building. A man named Neil White came up to Thomas, "Boss." "Pa!" Thomas gave him a p in his face. "It¡¯s such a waste of resources for me to raise you! You had just embarrassed me!" He shouted, "I''m sorry, Boss!" His p was so hard that the palm print glowed in red on his cheek. He rubbed his face and added, "Don''t be angry, boss. I have an idea!" "Spit it!" Thomas replied in a cold voice. He blurted out, "We just need to find out his weak spot. Once we know what it is, I swear that he is going to listen to us!" "Weak spot?" Thomas was so angry and gave Neil another kick. "Do you think that cold-blooded man has a weak spot?" "Someone just told me that he bought an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Brooklyn," Neil answered. "So what?" Thomas was getting impatient. "He doesn¡¯t even like Brooklyn. On top of that, I don¡¯t want to go back to that ce either." Neil smiled and replied, "Boss, that¡¯s the point. Why would someone go there if he hates it?" Thomas¡¯ eyes lit up. "You mean?" Neil exined, "I believe something fishy must be going on there. He¡¯s going to listen to you once we know what he has up his sleeve." "You''re good!" Thomas burst outughing. "I''ll leave this to you then. You''ll go there tomorrow morning. If you seed, I will treat you well after youe back!" "Yes boss! You can rest assured!" Neil shouted excitedly. After Thomas left, Harley asked, "Do you want a drink?" Amos looked at his wristwatch and replied, "No!" He stood up directly and left. Harley sneered, "It''s true that people do change when they are in love! Go! Don''t evere back again if you leave now!" Amos rolled his eyes at him and went out of the room. He then tried to give Eudora a call. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Eudora was dealing with the thug when her phone rang. But it fell to the ground when she was about to take it out of her pocket. The man quickly locked her hands against the wall before she could reach the phone. The drunk man¡¯s lecherous gaze reminded Eudora about her previous frightening experience. She had no idea what to do. Before she could shout, the man was already dragged away from her. He was thrown to the ground and Christopher punched him twice in his face. He quickly got up and escaped. "Are you okay?" Christopher felt guilty. "It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have brought you here." Eudora shook her head. She lost her bnce as she was about to walk away. Christopher quickly grabbed her and asked, "Are you really okay?" At the same time, Amos, who was on the other end of the corridor, saw Eudora fall into Christopher''s arms. He frowned when Eudora saw him. She immediately rushed into his arms. She whispered, "Amos." She finally calmed down when she was with Amos. She didn''t even know that she relied on him so much. The coldness in Amos¡¯ eyes disappeared immediately while he hugged her. "What''s wrong?" Christopher felt something was missing in his heart. He stood there for a few seconds and said, "President Granger, it''s my fault. I brought everyone here for a team dinner, but I didn''t expect for this to happen." Amos frowned and turned around to look at the man behind him. The man understood Amos and disappeared instantly. Amos stared at Christopher and replied, "It¡¯s, of course, your fault since this happened to your staff during work hours since team dinner is a part of work." Eudora sensed the tension in the air. She quickly said, "I''m fine, really. It was President Gellert who saved me just now!" Amos nodded while he took her hand and went out. Christopher made a wry smile while looking at both of them leaving. A drunk man was seen walking unsteadily on a street. He approached a beautiful woman who was passing by and tried to hug her. The woman snorted, "You drunkard, what are you doing?" "What do you think?" He dragged the woman to the bush. The woman followed him hesitantly. After they both had fun, the woman screamed for help while she tried to put on her clothes. Two policemen who were on patrol quickly pinned the drunk man down. Chapter 74 Chapter 74 A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pir in the middle of a pitch-ck room with a chain. A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask. The boy''s eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this ce as soon as possible. A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully. The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her. The girl''s cries echoed in the basement. The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face. The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground. All of a sudden, the girl¡¯s finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him. Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything around him now was less scary. The girl stumbled while he walked towards him. She was worried about the boy although she too was injured. "Are you okay?" She tried to wipe off the blood on his face. The boy instead bit on her arm. His bite was very painful. It was as if he wanted to tear her flesh from her bones. The girl didn¡¯t resist it though. She frowned and smiled at him. "It''s okay. We will definitely get out of here." Amos woke up from his dream. He could hear Eudora breathing soundly next to him. The girl''s smile somehow made his heart stir in confusion. He got up and went to the balcony for a smoke. It was already midnight but the city was still awake. He would never return to somewhere as dark as that room again. But, the girl, whose smile was as bright as the sun, was buried there forever. His train of thoughts were interrupted when someone held him from his back. Her touch was gentle and She whispered, "What''s the matter?" "Nothing," he answered. "Liar!" She touched his frown. "You haven''t been so agitated for a while now." Her hands were cold. Amos looked down and saw her wearing nothing on her feet. His frown deepened. "It''s cold. Let''s go inside." She put her arms around his waist. "No. I won''t go in if you are going to stay out here." She was unusually flirtatious tonight. Amos put out the cigarette and carried her in his arms. "You are the one who asked for it!" "Huh?" Amos locked her on the window with his arms. The next day was a weekend so both of them slept in. As soon as Eudora woke up, her eyes met his. "Get up. Let¡¯s go shopping," Amos eximed. "Shopping?" Eudora looked at Amos unbelievably. "Did I hear it correctly? A man like you actually wants to go shopping?" "You didn''t hear it wrong. Get up now," Amos replied. He stood up without further ado. All women loved shopping, including Eudora. She quickly washed up as it had been a while since she The two of them went to the mall nearby. Amos said, "I bought all the clothes in your wardrobe at home. You can buy what you like today, in case they don¡¯t suit your taste." "I like all of them!" Eudora eximed. Amos was a man of good taste. The clothes he chose were all very ssy and suited her very well. "Buy whatever you want to buy then!" Amos passed her a ck card. "This is my supplementary card. It has no limit. You can buy whatever you want." "Tsk, tsk." Eudora chuckled. "Do you know who you look like now?" "What?" Stunned, Amos asked. "A bossy president! Haha! When I was young, I loved reading novels about bossy presidents. You look and sound just like them!" Eudora exined. "You have my card now. Just buy whatever you want!" Amos avoided that topic. Amos¡¯ lips curled into a smile while he looked at her happy, contented face. "I am a president!" He eximed, "But I will be your bossy president." Eudora beamed with joy. "Okay! This is what you promised. You can¡¯t take back your words. If you do..." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. How dare she threaten him! "Are you going to beat me to death?" "Of course not. That''s against thew. Instead, I''ll leave you without hesitation." "Then you will not be able to escape from me for the rest of your life!" Amos put his arms around her waist. The two of them chatted in the car for a while before they entered the mall. Eudora did not buy any clothes, but she bought a number of items to decorate the house. She felt that the house in Clearwater Bay did not make her feel at home. The theme colors of the house were ck and grey. The house would be a lot better if she used warmer colors. Eudora believed that the atmosphere in the house would improve significantly if she changed the decor. Eudora''s legs were swollen after a day of shopping. "Should we go back home?" Amos asked. "Sure!" She narrowed her eyes as she yawned. She looked like she was going to fall asleep soon. Amos pursed his lips and eximed, "That store is having a sale." Her eyes widened immediately. "Which one?" Amos burst intoughter immediately and Eudora realized that she was tricked by him. She red at him and questioned, "Are youughing at me?" "No, I just want to make you a little more energetic because we have to buy another thing. A very important one," Amos answered. "What is it?" Eudora was puzzled. The man took her hand and walked towards a jewelry store. "What are you doing?" Eudora grabbed Amos'' hand. "Everything here is so expensive. We bought almost everything we need." "It¡¯s not for the house!" Amosughed. "We don''t need anything else," she replied. Amos looked at her lovingly. She was acting like a housewife. "Yes, we do. It''s for your birthday. I haven''t gotten you anything yet," Amos exined. Eudora was dragged to the store. They paused at one of the disy cases. He pointed at the hugest diamond ring and asked, "How about this?" Eudora waspletely dumbfounded. "Are you going to buy me a ring?" "Can''t I?" Amos asked. "But... do you know what that means?" Eudora''s heart was beating violently inside her chest. Amos turned around and looked at her earnestly. "Of course I do." "So are you..." Eudora stuttered. "Eudora George, I promise you that I will love you forever. I will love you, through the difficult and the easy. For whatever maye, I promise that I will always be there for you. I will only love you. Do you believe me?" Amos vowed. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was supposed to be ted. It was the first time Amos said such romantic words. Amos panicked when he saw her teary eyes. He quickly apologized, "I''m sorry. I¡¯m not good at talking..." Eudora smiled and teased, "Are you serious? You are so good!" "So, does that mean ¡®I do¡¯?" He asked with a smile. He knew that she was going to say yes. "No, I don¡¯t!" Eudora turned around. "I can¡¯t feel your sincerity! If you really want to marry me,e to my birthday and fly a kite with me!" Chapter 75 Chapter 75 The salesperson asked, "Do you guys still want the ring?" "Of course!" Eudora chose a ring that looked simpler and more low-key. She was going to wear it for the rest of her life. She didn''t want it to be too fancy. The salesperson took the ring out from the disy case. Eudora tried to put it on but unexpectedly the ring slipped off from her finger. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She felt that something bad was going to happen. The joy that filled her heart disappeared in the blink of an eye. She mumbled, "Let¡¯s forget about it." "Miss, we can still size the ring for you. We can also ask our designer to modify it ording to your preference. If you are in a hurry, we will contact the designer immediately. We will get it done by noon tomorrow..." "We wille at tomorrow noon!" Amos made the final decision. After paying the deposit, he left with Eudora. On the way back, Eudora felt inexplicably disappointed. "What''s wrong?" Amos asked. "Nothing. I''m just tired!" She answered. Amos put her head onto his shoulder. "Then nap for a while!" "Alright." Eudora closed her eyes and fell asleep. The next day was Eudora''s birthday. When she got up in the morning, Amos had already left. A small note was on the bedside table. It was Amos'' handwriting. "I am going to thepany. I''lle backter to join you." Eudora¡¯s mood lit up as she basked under the warm morning sunlight that shone on her face through the window. She smiled and went downstairs after washing up. C ran up from the stairs and wagged its tail at her. Eudora picked C up and kissed it. "You''ve be much fatter!" Aunt Valerie nodded and said, "C is getting pickier now after it had your steak! You''ve spoilt him!" "It''s okay! Amos is rich enough, right?" Eudora said with a smile. "Yes! You''re right." Aunt Valerie couldn''t refute that. Eudora had been very thrifty. But, she had always treated C very well. Maybe it was because Amos was the one who gave her the puppy. After breakfast, the kite storeowner delivered the kite to the house. The kite had a very beautiful pattern. It was a silhouette of a couple and a dog. The design was not something very new. Amos promised toe backter to make the kite with her. Thus, she left the kite on thewn outside. She took a photo and sent it to Amos. "Waiting for you toe back." She went back into the house and helped Aunt Valerie to prepare the dishes tonight. At the same time. In Valiant East. In Amos'' office. Harley leaned on the sofa while Clint entered the room. "President Ganger, the ring you ordered yesterday is here." Harley immediately sat up and eximed, "A ring? Are you going to propose to Sister-inw?" Amos didn''t say a word. He took the ring and studied it carefully. Harley covered his face with his palms. "Look at your silly smile! Are you the Amos Granger I once know?" Amos rolled his eyes at him and picked up the ring. He said, "Let¡¯s call it a day. I''ll go back first." "Okay!" Clint nodded. Harley immediately got up and said, "I am going too." He wanted to be part of his proposal. Clint immediately followed suit. "I''m going too..." Amos frowned. He wondered if Eudora was going to like to see them. After pondering for a while, he nodded. "Let''s go." Clint and Harley looked at each other and smiled. When they were about to leave the room, Clint''s cell phone rang. Clint said, "Sorry, President Granger, I''ll have to answer this call." Harley joked, "Can I now call her my sister-inw? I really didn''t expect that someone as cold as you would get married before me. I thought that you would not want to get married and have children." ¡°Get married and have children? That sounds good," Amos thought. Clint''s face changed suddenly. "President Granger, we have a problem." "What''s wrong?" Amos frowned. Clint exined, "Thomas Shelby messed up our business in Brooklyn." Harley''s eyes darkened. "I am going to get him in the future!" Amos looked at Clint again. "Anything else?" Clint had been with him for many years. Amos knew that there was definitely something worse. As expected, Clint added, "They¡¯d found her." Amos'' heart sank. "Who?" "The one we''ve been looking for," Clint replied. Harley''s eyes lit up. "Is it she?" Amos paused for a moment before he replied, "What do they want?" "Thomas said he''ll give us two choices. One is to coborate with them. The second one is to kill her!" "F*ck!" Harley smashed his fist down on the table. "Amos, Thomas Shelby doesn''t have any good intentions. You and I both know what kind of business he does. He is trying to drag you down because he is not doing very well.. The police have been trying to get him. Don''t fall into his trap." Amos kept quiet. Harley quickly added, "On top of that, we don¡¯t even know if he really did find her. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. How did he find her if we have been actively searching her for years?" Thomas could possibly lie to him. But if it was true... Harley continued, "Besides, haven''t you made up your mind? Don''t cling to the past. You are getting married to Eudora anyway. Forget about it!" It was impossible for Amos to forget about her. Amos would never forget her eyes and smile. She would not have been tortured by that woman if she didn''te to save him. He could not be an ungrateful man! "I choose the third option! Clint, book me a ticket to Brooklyn. Right now!" "Amos!" Harley gritted his teeth. "I have no choice!" Amos replied seriously. They had been friends for years. Harley knew that he would not be able to stop Amos. He patted Amos on the shoulder. "I''ll go with you." They dashed to the airport after Clint booked three flight tickets to Brooklyn. The items Eudora bought at the mall yesterday were delivered to the house right after Aunt Valerie and she prepared the food. Eudora reced all the old furniture in the house before she went to the kitchen. Eudora insisted to cook on her own so Aunt Valerie ended up assisting her. Everything was all ready. The sun began to set. Eudora looked at the message on her cell. He did not reply. She frowned and called Amos. Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Amos¡¯ phone was switched off. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavable." "What¡¯s wrong?" Eudora muttered. Aunt Valerie quickly added, "Sir¡¯s phone must have run out of battery. He should be back soon. Don''t worry, let''s wait for a while." "Okay!" Eudora nodded. She took the cake out from the fridge and put it on the table. The two of them sat down and chatted aimlessly. C ran over and jumped on Eudora''s legs. It carefully adjusted its head to get the mostfortable spot. As time went by, Eudora became more and more anxious. She even forgot to answer Aunt Valerie when she asked her a question. She stood up out of a sudden and screamed, "Do you think something could¡¯ve happened to him?" Startled, Aunt Valerie answered, "I don''t think so. He has so many bodyguards to protect him. That¡¯s not possible." "That''s true," Eudora whispered. However, she could not erase this possibility out of her mind. She was bing more and more restless in this endless wait. Eudora tried to call Clint again. Unsurprisingly, his phone was also turned off. She was about to go crazy. She quickly dialed thepany''s number. Fortunately, there were still a few people left in Valiant East. They told, "President Granger went to the States this afternoon." "Why did he go there? Is he on a business trip?" Eudora asked. "Sorry, we are not sure about this. However, it doesn¡¯ t look like a business trip," the man on the phone exined. Eudora¡¯s heart sank. Her worries slowly became a disappointment. Aunt Valerie saw her face and quicklyforted, "Miss, it must be something really urgent, that''s why he didn''t have the chance to tell you first. The food is getting cold. Why don¡¯t we have some food first?" Eudora shook her head. "I''m not hungry!" Aunt Valerie went to the kitchen and cleaned up the table. She knew that Eudora wanted to be alone. C licked Eudora''s fingers and looked at her. Eudora smiled bitterly. "C, I thought that finally, someone is going to be with me on my birthday. I guess I expected too much." C whimpered and hid its face between her thighs. It was raining cats and dogs outside. Pa! Pa! The raindrops hit on the windows. She was reminded of the kite she left in the yard and quickly got up. She rushed out of the door while Aunt Valerie quickly stopped her. "Please, don¡¯t. It''s just a kite! You will get sick if you go out." "No!" Eudora shook her head. Perhaps for others, it was just a kite, but for her, it was not. It was Amos'' promise to her. He promised her that he would fly the kite with her. She pushed Aunt Valerie away and darted through the cold rain. The kite waspletely destroyed. The sticks that held the kite were soaked in a puddle. Without further hesitation, Eudora brought it back to the house. Aunt Valerie quickly rushed over with an umbre. "Miss, I don¡¯t think it can be used again." Aunt Valerie tried to cover her from the rain as much as possible. But Eudora didn''t care about getting wet at all. Both of them were drenched in rain eventually. Aunt Valerie quickly passed a dry towel to Eudora when they entered the house. "Please use the towel to dry yourself off. Don''t catch a cold." Eudora ignored her and started fixing the kite. Aunt Valerie grabbed the kite away from her. "Miss, please don''t be so stubborn." "No!" Eudora shook her head. "I must fix it now. The sticks are soaked in rainwater. All my efforts will be in vain if I don''t." Aunt Valerie knew she could not fight against Eudora''s stubbornness. So she only help her dry her face and said, "Please let me help you then." "No!" Eudora refused her help. "I''ll fix it myself. I need to do this alone." "Miss..." Aunt Valerie frowned. "It''s going to take the whole night if you do it alone." "It doesn''t matter!" Eudora smiled and replied, "The night is still young! Don''t worry about me. Please go back home and have a rest first. You''ve done a lot for me today. Didn''t you mention that you have a little grandson at home?" Aunt Valerie didn''t live with them. She was only required to be there before breakfast. She could actually leave after she prepared dinner. Amos didn''t like other people staying over. Aunt Valerie was indeed worried about her little grandson. She answered, "Alright. I will go back first. You can find some ginger tea on the table. Please have some." It looked like Eudora¡¯s mood had improved. "Sure!" Eudora nodded. Aunt Valerie went upstairs and took some new clothes and reminded, "Please change your clothes, too." "Definitely!" Eudora answered. Making a kite required a lot of energy and focus, so after sitting for a while, Eudora finally calmed N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. down. She was almost finished with the kite when the clock struck twelve. Eudora''s birthday was over. She looked at the cake on the table and walked to it slowly. She picked it up and went to the trash can. She hesitated for a while and put it back onto the table. Who said that she couldn''t celebrate her birthday alone? She put a lit candle on the cake and made a wish before she blew out the candle. "Happy birthday, Eudora George," she said to herself. The mousse cake was really delicious. She cut a slice of it and dug in. The cake was bittersweet, perhaps it had too much sugar. Eventually, she threw the rest of the cake into the trash can. She red at the dishes on the table. She was thinking of him the whole time when she was preparing the meal. But, he had lost his chance to enjoy them. What a pity! Eudora threw away all the food. She leaned against the floor and pondered, "Why didn''t he tell me what happened? Was it that difficult for him to even drop her a text?" In Brooklyn. Amos and the others arrived in Brooklyn in the afternoon. They sprinted through the traffic towards the hotel after getting off the ne. They had already contacted the local police and requested their cooperation in an attempt to rescue the kidnapped girl. The police had already sessfully surrounded Thomas Shelby and his men in the abandoned warehouse. Amos would never ever follow others''mands. The police arrested all those in the warehouse, including Neil and Thomas after a short while. Thomas bellowed, "Amos, good job!" "You''re ttering me!" Amos replied. Amos dashed into the warehouse after the police took Thomas away. He saw a woman in a corner of the warehouse, covered in blood. Shey there, lifelessly. His heart missed a beat. He quickly went to her side and helped her up. Only then did he realize that the woman had passed out. Harley rushed to Amos'' side and reminded him, "Are you sure she''s the person we had been looking for?" Amos lifted up her sleeve and exposed her arm. A old, darkened scar was revealed. "It''s her!" Chapter 77 Chapter 77 The next day, Aunt Valerie saw Eudora sleeping on the sofa when she came. She didn''t change her clothes. But, both the table and the kitchen had been cleaned up. Aunt Valerie quickly woke Eudora up. "Miss, are you okay?" Eudora shook her head and looked at the bright sunlight that shone through the windows. She asked, "Has hee back?" Aunt Valerie replied, "I''m afraid that it''s gonna take a few days if Sir really went to America." That''s right. She got up in a hurry and answered, "I''m going to work now." Her head was spinning as soon as she stood up. Eudora almost fell and Aunt Valerie quickly grabbed her. "You''d better take a day off. You don''t look very well." "I''m fine!" Eudora answered. In thepany, Christopher brought a pile of documents to Eudora. He eximed, "I''ve seen your designs. They''re really well done. Let''s start with this draft!" "Sure!" Eudora nodded and got up. "Then I have to go and take a look at the construction site and check some details myself." "What''s all the hurry? And I don''t think you look too well!" Christopher questioned, "Did Amos scold you for what happened that day?" Startled, Eudora looked at him. She had almost forgotten about it as though it had happened a century ago. "No!" She shook her head. "That''s good! Well, if that''s the case, I''m going with you then!" Eudora nodded. At the construction site, everyone was busy working. The security leader ran to them as soon as they arrived. "Good morning President Gellert and Miss Eudora. What brings you here?" Eudora answered, "I need to go upstairs and check some details." The man sighed, "I don''t think it''s safe. We have yet toplete the safety measures for the top floors. It would be better if youe again tomorrow." Christopher added, "Eudora, let''se again tomorrow." Eudora looked at the skyscraper in front of her and frowned. In the meantime, Christopher and the security leader discussed the progress of the construction. He subconsciously turned around and asked, "Eudora, what do you think?" Only then did he realize Eudora was gone. "Where is she?" He asked. A man walked past them and answered, "Miss Eudora, you mean? She went upstairs just now!" Christopher''s face changed at once. Perplexed, the security leader stuttered, "Didn''t I just tell her? She can''t go there..." The security leader quickly called a few men to follow him to look for Eudora while Christopher followed after them. Eudora was anxious and she didn''t know why. She felt as if she was a girl who urgently wanted to prove her abilities. She put down the notes in her hand and took out a tape to measure the lengths repeatedly. Amos¡¯ face appeared in her mind all of a sudden. She could see his angry face, his smile, his everything. Her mind was in a mess. Eudora closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She told herself, "I can¡¯t take it anymore. I can''t live like this." "You have to trust him. He''s a man of his word." Another voice screamed in her mind. "Eudora George, you''re too naive. Don''t you get it yet? Don''t you understand after what happened with the Meyer family? The only person you can trust in this world is yourself. You can only rely on yourself, on your work." It was true. Only her work would take her pain away. She had been feeling safe under Amos¡¯ protection all this while. Now she was back to square one. She picked up the tape on the ground and measured the wall. She walked to the window, without knowing that it wasn''t fully fenced. Her head spinned while she stepped another step forward. Her vision became blurry as she fell out of the window. In a hospital in Brooklyn. Amos sat by the bed and stared at the woman. She was still in aa. The doctor''s words echoed in his mind. "The patient is malnourished. There are many scars on her body suggesting that she has been suffering from chronic abuse." Suddenly, the woman on the bed trembled. Her face was filled with terror. She whispered, "No, don''t hit me..." Amos'' heart ached. The next second, she grabbed his hand tightly. She wasn''t letting go. Amos looked at her skinny fingers and tried to loosen her grip twice but failed. The woman fell asleep again after a while. Amos tucked her into bed properly and left the room. Clint came back from the police station with a straight face. "Thomas Shelby ran away. On the way to the police station, they encountered a car ident and he took the opportunity to escape." "F*ck!" Harley cursed in a mumble. 1 will call up my friends in the country now. They''re going to arrest him if he goes back. Don''t worry." "Thank you!" Amos nodded. Harley added, "What are you going to do with this woman?" He had heard from the doctor too. Amos might be able to give her some marypensation to lighten his guilt if she had been living well all these while. But now, that was obviously not an option. "I don''t know!" Amos answered, "Let''s talk about it when she wakes up!" Harley sighed. "Alright! You must be exhausted. Go back and take a rest. Clint and I will be here to Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. watch her." Amos nodded. When he was about to turn around, Harley grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are your rashes? Didn''t you just touch her?" Amos didn¡¯t even notice it. He looked at his arms and legs and found no rashes. "It must be rted! She saved you when you were young. That''s good. Maybe you''ll recover slowly!" Amos nodded. "I hope so!" In fact, this was no longer a problem after he started living with Eudora. When he returned to the hotel, his mind was filled with Eudora''s face. He had disappeared for two days. She must be anxious. He took a vitamin and saw the message Eudora sent him two days ago. He didn''t manage to reply to her. He quickly typed out the message but hesitated before he sent it out. He pondered for a while and called Eudora directly. He had missed her birthday and she must be ming him now. Amos grinned at the thought of her disappointed face. He waited on the line for a while and frowned. When he was about to hang up, a man''s voice was heard on the other side of the call. "Hello!" Amos was silent for three seconds before he asked, "Christopher?" Chapter 78 Chapter 78 "Amos?" Christopher saw his name on the phone. "Where''s Eudora? Why did you pick up her call?" Amos questioned. "President Granger, please mind yournguage! Eudora is having a fever and she almost fell from a building. She has been in the hospital for the whole day. Why aren''t you here yet?" Fortunately, he showed up in time and grabbed her arm. Otherwise, she would have ended up like that man. "What did you say?" Amos'' heart missed a beat. "How''s she now?" "She''s not dead yet!" Christopher screamed. Eudora came back from outside and saw Christopher talking on her phone. "Who called?" She asked. "Amos Granger!" He yelled and passed the phone back to Eudora. "Hello!" Eudora took the phone and cleared her throat before she answered, "Hi Amos. Christopher was just exaggerating. I just have a cold. I''m feeling much better now. I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." "I''m sorry that I missed your birthday." Amos frowned. "Something urgent came up." He remembered. She thought that she had finally calmed down but Amos'' words made her feel bitter again. She sniffed and replied with a smile, "It''s okay. I''m not a child anymore. On top of that, I had a whale of a time with Aunt Valerie! By the way, isn''t it already nighttime there? You should go to bed now!" She hung up the phone without hesitation. She was afraid that tears might roll down her cheeks if she didn''t hang up. Christopher looked at her in surprise. "Your birthday?" "Yeah!" Eudora exhaled and nodded. Christopher answered, "Sorry, I''m an ipetent boss. I don''t even remember my staffs'' birthdays." "No!" Eudora shook her head. "It''s not your fault." "No, this was your first birthday since we met. Plus you have been helping me so much. We should celebrate it! Wait for me. I''lle back soon." "Hey!" Eudora wanted to stop him but he had already run off. "Let him be," she thought. Christopher came back after a few minutes. He held a birthday cake in his hands. It wasn''t too big but it looked delicious. Eudora''s eyes widened. He smiled, "It''s really difficult to get a cake here. I had to go quite far away to get one." He put the cake on the table and carefully lighted the candles. "Just because your birthday is over doesn''t mean we can''t still celebrate it. Hurry up and make a wish!" He eximed. Eudora was touched as she never considered her rtionship with Christopher as close. They were just colleagues. But Christopher had been so thoughtful. Eudora felt a tinge of warmth in her heart. "But I''d already made a wish!" She thought of the wish she made that evening. "I see. Let''s just eat the cake then! I like cakes!" He cut the cake into a few pieces and passed the first piece to Eudora. "Birthday girl gets to eat the first piece." He gave the remaining pieces to the doctors and nurses in charge of the ward. "This cake will be a blessing. A blessing to many people. You will definitely receive a lot of blessings in return, too!" Christopher eximed and had another bite. He repeated, "Happy birthday, Eudora!" "Thank you!" "You''re wee! I still need you to help me and mypany. If you be a famous designer in the future, please don''t forget me!" Christopher teased. Eudora burst intoughter. "Of course, I won''t." Amos couldn''t fall asleep. He got up and went to the hospital again. Harley saw him and screamed, "She''s awake!" Amos entered the room when the woman who was dressed in the hospital gown slowly opened her eyes. She saw Amos and whispered weakly, "It''s you... Amos Granger..." "It''s me!" Amos nodded. "Get well soon. I''ll take care of everything." The woman nodded. "I can never repay your kindness." Amos shook his head. "You do not need to. I should do this. You saved me years ago!" The woman looked at him in surprise. "Are you talking about the time when we were in the basement?" It was the nightmare that Amos wanted to forget the most. He nodded with a solemn face. "Yes." Both of them fell silent. After a while, Amos added, "I remember you once said that you wanted to live in New York. I''ve already sent someone to find a house there. You can settle down there when you are discharged. Let me or Clint know if you have any other requests. I have to go back to Rosaville City first." The woman grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Please, don''t go." Amos frowned. "It''s safe here." "No, there''s a lot of bad people here. She appears in front of me every night. She will torture me, beat me..." The woman trembled in fear. "Who is she?" Amos gnashed his teeth. "I don''t know..." The woman shook her head with fear in her eyes as her body shivered. Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Clint rushed out to call for help. The doctor and nurse quickly came in and administered some sedatives. When she slowly calmed down, the doctor exined, "She had been abused for a long time and this has caused psychological harm to her mental state. Family members should apany her as much as possible until she gets better." Harley¡¯s face froze. "Until she gets well?" He quickly nced at Amos, his heart stirred heavily. He asked, "Does Sister-inw know about this?" Amos shook his head and stared at the doctor. "When can she be discharged?" "She only sustained minimal physical injuries. She can be discharged at any time. But, for her mental health, it is going to take a lot of time to recover." Harley was stupefied. "Why did you ask these questions? Are you going to bring her back?" Amos frowned. "She wouldn''t have to go through this if it weren''t for me. How can I just leave her?" Amos had a point, but Harley didn''t think that was a good idea. He added, "What should we tell Sister- in-w? Weren''t you going to propose to her?" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Amos replied, "I''ll make it clear to her." Eudora had a dream. In her dream, she was flying her kite with Amos. The air was filled with happiness while they ran across the field together. All of a sudden, a gust of wind broke the kite string and the kite flew off. She chased after the kite. However, no matter how hard she tried, she failed to get the kite back. Her kite drifted away with the wind. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Eudora could not stand the boredom as she couldn''t do anything in the hospital. She finally convinced Aunt Valerie to let her leave the hospital. Aunt Valerie had prepared a lot of good food, but they couldn¡¯t finish them at all. In the evening, Eudora was lying in bed but she couldn''t fall asleep. She had never felt this bed was too big for herself. She took out her cell phone and looked at Amos¡¯ number before she turned her phone off again. She thought to herself that he might be busy and she should not disturb him. Eudora forced herself to fall asleep by closing her eyes tightly as she still had to work on the next day. Someone hugged her from behind when she was in a daze. His scent made Eudora''s heart skip a beat. She froze. His chin rested on her shoulder. She could feel the stubble on his cheek. For some reason, her heart ached for him. She turned around and held his face. She whispered, "What''s wrong?" He didn''t answer her. His lips mashed against hers. He kissed her passionately and hugged her tightly. If it weren''t for him being apart from her for the past few days, he wouldn''t have realised that he would be so reluctant to leave her. Eudora hid in Amos¡¯ arms after half an hour of cuddling. She couldn''t fall asleep. Amos caressed her arm. "You''ve lost some weight..." "No, I didn''t!" Eudora''s nose twitched while she quickly turned around. After a moment of silence, Amos said, "There''s something I want to tell you. It is about my trip to America this time." She had been waiting for him to talk about it. Her heart was pounding as she looked at Amos expectantly. ''Ringggg!'' Amos'' phone rang out of a sudden. His face darkened after he picked it up. He answered, "I''ll be right there." He got up and put on his clothes. He disappeared from the room in a split second. Eudora''s heart sank, again. She felt that things had changed for some reason. She stared at the ceiling until dawn. Aunt Valerie had advised her to rest for two more days at home. But, she didn''t listen to her and went straight to thepany after breakfast. Her project was almost finished. It took her a day to finallyplete the draft. She would not have the time to overthink if she was busy. She saw a rather familiar car at the entrance when she left thepany. The Old Master walked out of the car with a crutch while Eudora looked at him in surprise. It had been more than a month since shest met him. Thousands of possible reasons of himing to her ran through her mind. The Old Master''s assistant came over to her. Eudora took a deep breath and followed him. The Old Master questioned, "What is Amos doing these days?" Her eyes flickered. "I don''t know." "Really? You are his girlfriend and yet you don''t know. I thought you were reliable, so I gave my permission to you to stay with him and take care of him. But now it seems that you care for your work more than him. Then let me ask you, what''s the purpose of your existence?" The Old Master was furious. His words were hurtful. Eudora frowned. In fact, for the past few days, her mood was as bad as the Old Master¡¯s. However, she didn''t want to ruin Amos'' image in the Old Master''s heart. She suppressed the burning anger in her heart and replied softly, N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "I''ll send him a message!" "What do you mean? Do you really not know what he was doing? Aren''t you two a couple? Why did he buy a house in Sovereign Garden?" "Sovereign Garden?" Eudora''s jaw dropped a little. She couldn''t hear anything afterwards. Her thoughts seemed to shut offpletely. The words ''Sovereign Garden¡¯ echoed repeatedly in her mind. On the way back, Eudora looked nkly at the road ahead. When she came back to her senses, she took out her cell phone and dialed Amos¡¯ number. No one answered the phone. The phone rang for a long time before it was cut off. Eudora took a deep breath and turned around and drove towards Sovereign Garden. In Sovereign Garden. Amos received a call from Clintst night. He said that Wendy Liam was having another attack. Amos came over right away. Wendy had been holding onto his hand and refusing to sleep. She finally fell asleep in the morning. But as soon as Amos withdrew his hand, she woke up again. The doctor advised him to stay with her for the time being so that she could recover slowly. Amos touched his forehead as he was lost in his thoughts. The woman on the bed woke up again. "Amos," she whispered. "Are you awake?" Amos tried to withdraw his hand again. "Yes!" Wendy nodded and looked around. "Is this my home in Rosaville City?" Amos nodded and replied, "Take a look. Do you like it?" "I like it!" Wendy felt much better after a rest. "Can I get up and have a look?" The psychologist behind him immediately nodded. "Yes!" Amos answered. He asked someone to change her clothes before they went out. There were a lot of sunflowers blooming in this season. It was one of the many reasons why he chose this house. Sunflowers was said to be able to rejuvenate a person. Wendy looked at the flowers with a smile on her face. She eximed, "Wow! It''s so beautiful!" She picked one and handed it to Amos. "Please help me to put it on my hair." Amos was a little hesitant, but he chose to listen to the psychologist¡¯s advice. Eudora saw it as soon as she arrived. The sun was just right and the garden in front of her was full of sunflowers. A woman¡¯s smile could be seen from afar. She was standing among the flowers while a man gently put one on her ear. They bathed under the golden sunlight, like a pair of long lost couple. Eudora stood there while her body became stiff. It was as if she was paralyzed by the freezing winter breeze. She brought her knees to her chest after she left. Her mind was nk and she couldn''t think at all. Amos was back, but with another woman by his side. What should she do? She felt someone was looking at her and she subconsciously ran away. When she came back to her senses, Eudora realised she had returned to Clearwater Bay. When Aunt Valerie saw hering back, she said, "Miss, you arete today. Dinner is ready. Are you hungry? Let''se and have dinner!" Eudora sat there and didn''t move an inch. After a long time, she tried tofort herself and asked, "Did Amose back today?" Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Aunt Valerie paused for a while and shook her head. "Did Sire back home after he returned from America?" Eudora¡¯s jaw dropped unconsciously. "Oh." Aunt Valerie didn''t know that Amos was already back. Suddenly, she heard footsteps from her back. She turned around and quickly shouted at Eudora with joy, "Miss, Sir is back." Eudora didn''t move from her spot at all. Aunt Valerie came and pulled her up. "Sir, you''re back!" Aunt Valerie greeted him with a smile. Amos walked towards Eudora with a smile. "Do you miss me?" He asked softly. Eudora didn''t answer him. She couldn''t get rid of the image of him and the woman in the garden. Amos frowned slightly. "What''s wrong?" "Eudora must be ted to see you!" Aunt Valerie answered with a smile. Eudora lowered her head after she heard this. Amos could see her corbones from where he stood. He couldn''t help but frown when he thought of her shapely figure when he held her in his arms yesterday. Amos said, "You''ve lost so much weight. Let''s eat first!" He dragged her to the dining table and sat down. She had a few bites and put down the spoon in her hands. She didn''t have an appetite. She quickly went upstairs when Amos¡¯ phone rang. Amos noticed that Eudora didn''t eat much after he finished the call. He couldn''t help but frown. "Why is she eating so little?" He asked. "Is she getting better?" "She¡¯s all right now. I''ve asked the doctor in person. Maybe something is troubling her?" Aunt Valerie answered. "What''s it?" Amos asked. Aunt Valerie replied, "Sir, I don''t think I have the rights to tell you this. But if you really care about Eudora, you shouldn''t have left her alone on her birthday without letting her know beforehand. She had been waiting for you at home. She was even worried about you. She only managed to find out your whereabouts after asking your employee in yourpany. That night, she was drenched in the rain after she went to the yard to take her kite. I wanted to stay with her, but she insisted that she was fine and asked me to go back. When I came back the next day, she was sleeping alone on the sofa in the living room. That''s how she got sick. I could tell that she was really unhappy these few days. She even asked me about you right before you came back just now." Amos frowned. He regretted his choice instantly. He wondered why he didn''t inform her before he left. In the past, he had always acted alone. He made his own decision. He was used to it. However, he had forgotten that he was no longer alone. Now, there was someone else who would wait for him at home, who would not be able to eat if he was not there, who constantly worried about him. He took off his necktie and quickly went upstairs. It was quiet on the second floor. Amos opened the bedroom door and saw Eudora sitting on the floor. Even her shadow looked lonely. His heart ached when he saw her. Amos walked over and hugged her waist from behind. "It''s cold to sit on the floor." Eudora shook her head and tried to free herself from Amos. "It''s okay. Didn''t you say that you had something to tell mest night?" She looked at Amos. Seeing Eudora¡¯s exhausted face, Amos decided not to tell her first. So he shook his head and said, "It''s not important. I''ll bring you to bed first." "No." Eudora held his hand. Amos frowned and said, "I brought someone back from my trip to the States." Sure enough... Eudora thought of the woman with the smile and her heart missed a beat. Amos continued, "I thought that she was dead. I can''t find her despite searching her for so many years. But for some reason, I found her again. Because of me, she had been tortured and is seriously ill. I had no other choice but to bring her back..." He exined and looked at Eudora nervously. "Do you like her?" She asked. Amos was stunned and smiled at Eudora. "Are you jealous?" Amos suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. She resisted him subconsciously, but the man''s arms were much stronger than hers. She could not move at all. Amos hugged her in his arms after the kiss. "I already have you," he whispered. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. His words gave her so muchfort. But she couldn''t help and ask, "Really?" "Silly!" The man chuckled. His husky voice echoed in her ears. "You are the only one who is perfect for me." Eudora sniffed and asked, "How do you know?" The man frowned when he heard this. "It seems like I have been away for too long..." He carried her up in his arms and threw her down on the bed. It was not until all her clothes were taken off that Eudora realized what the man meant. Her ears turned red as she made love with the man. Amos got up and went downstairs after she fell asleep. Aunt Valerie mentioned about the kite that she had protected on the rainy night. He opened the door of the storage room. The kite was hanging there. Although Eudora had tried to save it, it looked like it could not be used anymore. Amos looked at it for a while before he took out his cell phone and took a picture of it. After sending the photo to Clint, he went back to sleep with the little woman in his arms. The next day, Clint told him that he had asked someone to order the kite and it would arrive in three days. Amos nodded. While they were talking, the Old Master opened the door of the office and walked in. He looked at them seriously. Clint immediately understood the situation and left the room. The Old Master didn''t say a word until there were only two of them left in the office. "You finally came back to work?" Amos frowned. "I never ck off!" "You went to the States and brought back a woman. Didn''t you mention about Eudora all the time? What''s wrong? Have you changed your mind?" Amos asked, "Did you investigate me?" "I''m your father. What''s wrong with me investigating you? I can''t see you repeat what your brother did! I overestimated Eudora. I always thought she was a person who would rather die with honor than to survive in disgrace. I didn''t expect that she could ept this!" Amos¡¯ eyes widened. "Did you look for her?" "Why? Didn''t she tell you? Well, you can see her true colors now. You have to choose between these two women in the end!" Chapter 81 Chapter 81 No wonder she had such a big reactionst night. She must have seen Wendy. Amos suddenly felt a little scared. If he hadn''t told the truth to Eudorast night, would he have lost her for good? Amos thought of this and felt a burst of anger in his heart. "I said that I will handle my personal affairs. You have no rights to interfere with my life." "So what? I''m your father. How could this be a personal matter?" The Old Master roared. Amos sneered, "Did you say that you are my father? When I was alone in the States, when I was tortured, where were you? When my mother was almost dead, where were you?" The Old Master¡¯s face turned white. "I didn''t manage to perform my duty as a father in the past. But in the future, I hope I can..." "It''s toote!" Amos snorted and went straight out. Eudora had just finished her work and was about to go and have lunch with her colleagues. She stopped at the door when she saw Amos¡¯ car. The man leaned against the car door and smiled at her. Eudora quickly went over. "Why are you here?" "I''ll take you out for lunch!" Amos eximed. "French food again?" Every time he wanted to treat her a meal, they would always eat something expensive. They never had local food. "You don''t like it? Let''s have Japanese cuisine then," Amos replied. "No!" Eudora shook her head. "Since you''re treating me for a meal, you''ll listen to me today. We¡¯ll go wherever I want to go!" "Okay!" Amos nodded. "You decide." Eudora smiled. Her eyes sparkled and warmed his heart. In fact, she never asked for much. He always felt rxed and happy when he was with her. Only after reaching their destination did Amos realise that Eudora had brought him to a buffet restaurant. She sat down and said, "The soup here is really good. I used toe here alone. What do you want to eat? I''ll go and get it for you." She got up immediately. Amos grabbed her arm and said, "I''ll get it for you!" He got up instantly. Amos attracted countless people''s attention without realizing it. Eudora pursed her lips and snickered. She knew that even she would be fascinated by him if she was in the crowd. As she was thinking about it, his phone rang. Eudora picked it up and took a look at it. It was a N?velDrama.Org owns this. message from W. "Let''s have lunch together. I have prepared some of your favorite dishes." Eudora froze. It was Wendy Liam. Her hunch was right. Although Amos had reassured that Wendy was just his savior and she should not care too much... She still felt a little uneasy when she saw her messages. Just as she was still thinking about it, Amos was back. He had some pork ribs and pasta that she liked very much. He put them beside her and asked, "What else do you want? I''ll get them!" Eudora shook her head and wanted to tell him that he had a new message, but she couldn''t. She answered, "This is enough." "Okay, let''s eat then," Amos replied. He put the food into her favorite soup. Eudora took a piece and put it into her mouth. She sniffed when the spicy taste filled her mouth. "Try it," she said. Amos nodded. Just as he was about to eat, his phone rang again. Eudora saw the letter "W" on his phone screen. Amos took away his phone and frowned. "I''ll go out and answer the call." Eudora nodded. After he went out, she lowered her head and continued to eat. Eudora didn''t know what she had put in her mouth until Amos came back. Amos said, "Wendy¡¯s having another attack. I''m afraid I have to go there." "Oh!" Eudora whispered and nodded. "Should I send you back first?" Amos asked. "No, no!" Eudora smiled and said, "I haven''t eaten much yet. I''ll go back by myselfter. Don''t worry about me." Amos lowered his head to kiss on Eudora¡¯ s forehead. "Be careful when you go back. Let''s have dinner together." "Sure!" Eudora nodded. She watched him slowly disappear in front of her eyes. She smiled bitterly and put down her fork. She heard footstepsing toward her. She thought that Amos came back. She looked up, excitedly, and saw Christopher¡¯s face appear in front of her. "What''s wrong? Why are you eating so much? Are you trying to gain weight?" Christopher rarely said things like this. It looked like they were really getting closer. Eudora pursed her lips. "Can''t I?" "Of course you can! I was just wondering if you can share some with me!" He answered. Eudora was speechless. "President Gellert, please stop with your acting!" "What should I do? There are no more seats here!" Christopher replied wittingly. Eudora looked around. She nodded and said, "Sit down!" Christopher asked the waiter to bring him another set of utensils. Christopher took a look at the used te and asked, "Was President Granger here?" Eudora kept quiet. So did Christopher. He passed the used utensils to the waiter and began to dig in. Christopher blurted out, "I didn''t expect you to have the same taste as I do. I also like the buffet here." "No way?" Eudora said with a smile, "President Gellert, but youe from such a powerful and influential family!" Christopher mentioned to her in the past that he was also a person who was not weed at home, just like her. Eudora quickly apologized when she recalled that, "I''m sorry." "What for?¡± Christopher said, "I dide from an influential family. But unfortunately I was abandoned by them! But it doesn''t matter, I am fine myself." "Great!" Eudora nodded. "We have to work hard then." "Okay, let''s work hard together." Eudora went back early after work. As soon as she got home, she went to the storage room and took out the kite. She thought that if Amos came back early, they could fly the kite together. But, it fell apart as soon as she tried to hold it. In the end, the sticks failed to hold the kite. Eudora lost her enthusiasm. She threw it into the trash can and went back into the house. Amos hadn''te back yet, but Aunt Valerie had prepared dinner in advance. The two of them sat there and waited for a long time. In the end, Eudora shouted, "Let''s eat!" Aunt Valerie frowned. Just as she was about to speak, the phone rang. "It must be from Sir!" Valerie said with a smile. She quickly took the phone and handed it to Eudora. "Pick it up, quickly!" Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Eudora George pressed the answer button. It was Amos Grangers'' voice. "Come to the entrance." said Amos. Eudora was astounded, "Why?" Aunt Valerie, on the other hand, had already pulled Eudora up and said, "You are going to find out once you take a look outside." Eudora looked at Aunt Valerie with suspicion and asked, "Do you know anything about this?" "You will know once you go outside." said Aunt Valerie mysteriously. Eudora couldn''t do anything, so she had to get up and walk outside. As soon as she walked to the entrance, all the lights in the yard were lit up instantly. It illuminated the night as if it was daytime. Amos slowly walked over with a kite line in his hand. There was a huge kite flying above his head, and the kite was simr to the one she had that day. However, didn¡¯t she just throw the kite away? While she was wondering, Amos handed the kite to her. "Sorry, I didn''t manage to celebrate your birthday with you that day. This is a new kite I made ording to the one that you made. Do you like it?" asked Amos. He was always like this. Under such circumstances, how could she say that she disliked it? She nodded and grabbed the kite line over. She felt that she had held onto a world that belonged only to her. She had to admit that she really liked it in her heart. There was a breeze tonight, so the two of them raced in the yard and sent the kite up to the sky. The kite was flying high up in the sky and the two of them sat side by side on the bench in the yard. Eudora leaned into Amos'' arms. "When I''m old, are you still going to fly a kite with me as well?" asked Eudora. "Are you that greedy?" Amos''s lips curled into a smile. Her eyes widened like a tiger. "Yes! I''m greedy!" Eudora said loudly. Amos pulled her into his arms and said, "I like your greed." "That''s more like it!" Eudora leaned back, and Amos'' words echoed in her ear. "How''s your work "It''s pretty good! Ever since Everpeace Group was bought over by TEM Inc, the project has begun again. It¡¯s just my duty to visit the construction sites and walk around thepany." Amos nodded and suddenly reached out to touch Eudora''s belly. "Why aren¡¯t you pregnant yet? Maybe I am not working hard enough." said Amos. Eudora''s face turned red. "What are you thinking? Getting pregnant is not the same as nting a seed. Do you think that you can have a baby whenever you like?" "nting a seed? That''s a good metaphor!" said Amos. Eudora was speechless. The next second, the man had bent down and carried her up. Eudora hastened to kick her leg, "Rascal, let go of __ _ ii me. "I''m going to y dirty with you!" After Amos had finished his sentence, he held her in his arms and went straight into the house. It was a sleepless night. The next day, Eudora heard about a designpetition as soon as she arrived at thepany. It was a very influential event in the industry. If the participating designers could stand out, they could boost their poprity. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Moreover, they might even have an opportunity to go abroad for further study. Eudora was tempted, but she hesitated when she thought about the responsibilities in thepany. During lunchtime, Eudora was still worrying about this matter. Christopher Gellert came over with his lunch tray and said, "I''ve already helped you sign up!" "Pardon?" Eudora was surprised, "But I haven''t thought it through yet." "What else is there to consider?" Christopher said, "I know very well that you want to go, so just go for thepetition. Don''t worry about thepany, there are still many other people in thepany to help out. Besides, you are still an employee of thepany, so, I can still find you even if there¡¯s a problem, right?" "You''re right!" Eudora nodded, "Then I''ll give it a try!" "Don''t embarrass me!" Christopher said,ughing. "I can¡¯t guarantee that!" Eudora deliberately scared him. "I''m not afraid. No matter what, you''ll always be Everpeace¡¯s employee." Eudora was very grateful, "Thank you." After she had made up her mind, Eudora began to think about her design idea to participate in the touch. Perhaps she should visit the cultural park? Although she grew up in Rosaville City, there are a number of ces in Rosaville City that she had never been to. The city was expanding too fast for the past decade. Eudora was afraid that she would be lost if she went out exploring the city. At night, as Eudora was lying in bed, she thought about the designpetition and couldn''t fall asleep. She simply leaned her head into Amos'' arms and asked, "Do you have to work overtime tomorrow?" Amos nodded softly and said, "Yeah, I have plenty of work recently." "Oh!" Eudora dropped the words that were about toe out of her mouth. Amos noticed it, so he lowered his head and asked her, "What''s wrong? Do you want to go somewhere?" "It''s all right. Your work is more important. I was just thinking about some stuff." Eudora said softly. "Silly!" Amos said, putting his arms around her waist. "Sleep now. If you don''t sleep now, I''m going to punish you using the familyw!" Previously, Eudora misunderstood Amos when he said he was going to use the family punishment on her. Eudora always thought that it was like what she used to experience in the Meyer household. Later, she discovered that the punishment was actually intimate activities on the bed. They had done it several times tonight, and Eudora was really scared. She hurriedly closed her eyes, and she fell asleep very soon. The next morning, when Eudora woke up, Amos had already gone out. After breakfast, Eudora changed into her sportswear and went straight to a cultural park that she knew. In fact, the cultural park had only been built in recent years, but inside was indeed very beautiful. Rosaville City specially hired an international master to build it; it was the culturalndmark of Rosaville City. Of course, not only was the architecture good, but the environment designed for the people was also very well done. Usually, many people would visit here to enjoy the scenery. Perhaps she could find her inspiration here. Unexpectedly, when Eudora had just arrived at the entrance, she met Christopher once again. "What a coincidence! Why are you here?" Christopher asked. "I wanted to ask you the same thing, I''m here to view the designs." Eudora said while holding the notebook in her hand. "Good timing. I just saw a very good design. I think you will like it. As I was thinking about it, you showed up. Come with me and have a look." said Christopher. Eudora decided to tag along with him since she was going to be here for the whole day anyway. The two of them walked forward while talking. Although Christopher had never learned designing, he was very fond of learning it. Some of his ideas could inspire Eudora from time to time. While chatting, Christopher suddenly pointed towards two person in front of him, saying, "Isn''t that Mr. Granger?" Eudora was shocked, and then she heard Christopher ask again, "Who is the woman next to him?" Amos'' words fromst night lingered in her head. ¡°I''ve been very busytely..." Immediately, Eudora turned her head away as if she was running away, "Let''s go somewhere else!" Christopher frowned, "What¡¯ s wrong? Did you quarrel with him?" "No!" Eudora said, "You may have mistaken someone else for him." "No way!" Christopher nced back to rify. "It is him. How could I make such a mistake?" While the two of them were dragging each other, Amos Granger saw them too. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 The man''s eyes were a little cold, and Wendy Liam couldn''t help looking in his direction. "Do you know them?" Wendy asked, smiling, "Why don''t you ask them to join us?" "That¡¯s not necessary!" Amos Granger said in a deep voice, "They got their own business to do." However, Wendy insisted, "It''s all right. I would like to meet your friends." As she said, she ran over and grabbed Eudora George. "Are you Amos¡¯ friend? It''s my first time back in the country, and I don''t have any friends. You seemed friendly and I want to be friends with you. Why don''t we sit down together?" said Wendy. The woman in front of her had very fair skin. Her voice was gentle and she was very elegant. Especially when she smiled, there were dimples on her cheeks, making her really cute. A trace of jealousy suddenly rose in Eudora¡¯s heart, "She looked so pure and cute, do girls like her still exist? Compared to her, I''m like a stubborn heroine." "No!" Eudora shook her head, "I still have other work to do. Go ahead and have fun with him!" Upon hearing this, Wendy was a little disappointed. "Since you have something to do, then forget about it. However, can youe over to my house to have dinner?" asked Wendy. Hearing this, Eudora was stunned. Wendy was smiling again, "It may sound funny but Amos is my only friend since I was a child. Something had happened in the past, and my mental state is not very well. The doctor hoped I could make more friends. Maybe this is fate? I felt really warm when I saw you, and I hope that you will be my first friend!" Eudora frowned. Amos did say that she had sacrificed a lot to save him. That might have been the reason why she didn''t have any friends. Although she sympathized with her, but, as a woman, she could not be friends with her. She was not a saint! She felt ufortable even when she saw Amos standing next to her! "I''m sorry!" Eudora finally shook her head, "I''m really busy as I am attending apetition soon. I''ll get going first!" After that, without waiting for Wendy''s answer, Eudora had already fled. Upon seeing this, Christopher Gellert quickly caught up with her. Wendy walked back and frowned at Amos. "Am I scary? Why doesn''t that youngdy want to be my friend?" Amos didn''t say a word about it. He kept looking at the direction where Eudora left until Wendy had called him again, "Amos? Are you still looking at that youngdy? Is she your colleague?" Amos came to his senses and shook his head, "No!" "Oh! Forget about it. Can you invite your colleagues toe to my house for dinner some other day? The doctor said that I should try to make contact with different people as much as possible, so that it will be helpful to my illness." said Wendy. "Alright!" Amos nodded. After strolling around for a while, Amos asked the driver to send Wendy back. Eudora fled very quickly, as if she was trying to get rid of some wild beast. When Christopher found her, she was sitting alone on a bench in front of the park''s viewing tform with her head down. Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside her. "What''s going on? What''s the rtionship between that woman and Amos?" asked Christopher. "Nothing!" Eudora looked up and smiled, "They are just ordinary friends, aren''t they?" "I don''t believe it!" Christopher gazed into Eudora''s eyes, "There''s no smile in your eyes. You''re lying to __ _ n me. "Do I have to tell you? You are only my superior, who do you think you are!" Eudora said without hesitation. Upon hearing this, Christopher suddenly became quiet. Eudora, who had calmed down, realized that she had said something wrong. Her feelings were too chaotic! But Christopher had nothing to do with this, so she should not have vented her frustration at him. He was her friend, and he was just worried about her. "Sorry!" Eudora pursed her lips, "I might not be in a good state today. If I said something offensive, please don''t be mad. I don''t want to explore the park anymore. I''ll go back first. See you at the After that, she took her things and left immediately. Christopher frowned, and stood up. After Eudora left, Christopher went back to the location just now. To his luck, Amos was still there. Amos had just sent Wendy away and was getting ready to go look for Eudora. The moment Amos saw Christopher, he frowned slightly. "Where''s Eudora?" asked Amos. "Eudora? Do you still care about her?" Christopher said, "I thought that if you had a new partner, you would forget the old one?" "Oh... this is between me and Eudora. I''m afraid that it¡¯s none of your business." Amos replied. Christopher suddenly became furious, "Amos Granger, are you kidding me? That woman is really your new partner?" "As I said, it¡¯s none of your business!" Amos said. "Okay!" Christopher nodded. He swung his fist at Amos the next second. But before he could hit him, Amos reached out and held him down. "Christopher Gellert, I am letting you off this time. Next time, if you swing your fist at me again, I¡¯m going to do the same to you as well!" warned Amos. "If you keep going on like this, I¡¯m not only going to swing my fist at you, but I will also punch you each time we meet. I would like to see what you can do to me." replied Christopher. Amos ignored him and left straight away. Aunt Valerie came up to him as soon as he entered the house. "Miss came back very early today. It seems that she is not in a good mood." said Aunt Valerie. Amos nodded and said, "Yes, I know." He went straight upstairs. There was no sign of Eudora in the bedroom. Amos turned around and went to the study room that was next to it. It was originally a small cloakroom, but Eudora transformed it into a private study room. She was looking at herputer in a daze. She didn''t even have the energy to look at her drafts, something which she was usually very enthusiastic about. Amos frowned and hugged her from behind, and the woman in front of him stiffened. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "Sorry..." said Amos. Eudora had reached out and blocked his lips before he could finish speaking. She curled her lips and said, "You''re back? Is dinner ready yet? Let''s go down to have dinner together." "Eudora, you?" said Amos. T m fine." Eudora smiled and said, "I know what happened today. Her mental state is not that well. It''s your responsibility to apany her. I understand." Amos frowned even more, "Eudora, are you concerned about Wendy''s existence?" Did she care about it? She admitted that she was very concerned about it. No woman would ept that her husband was taking care of another woman. Even if it was a justification to repay her kindness, it was still uneptable. However, what else could she do? It was impossible for Amos to ignore Wendy. Therefore, she could only try her best tofort herself. That woman was just a Amos'' saviour. She sacrificed a lot for Amos, so Eudora couldn''t be so evil and cruel to her. Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "No!" Eudora George sniffed, "Didn''t you exin it to me? You don''t have any other choice. Well, let''s stop talking about this. Aunt Valerie told me that she was going to prepare your favourite dish. Let''s go down and eat together." Amos Granger looked straight at her and asked, "What''s my favourite dish?" "Your favourite dish..." Eudora suddenly realized that Amos didn''t have a favourite dish . He was not a picky eater. As long as he could eat it, he would ept it. In order to change the subject, what she said was really full of loopholes! "Sorry, I remembered wrongly." Eudora rubbed her hair in difort, and said, "I was just thinking about thepetition. I''m sorry." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. It was his fault, but she kept apologizing. Amos felt ufortable when he saw Eudora keep scratching her hair in annoyance. He held her hand and held her in his arms. "Half a year, okay? Give me half a year. If she gets better, we''ll get married immediately." said Amos. Upon saying that, he took a ring out from his coat, and handed it to her. It was a simple ring, but it was like a lockette that locked her heart. Eudora stretched out her hand and said, "Put it on for me!" Amos took out the ring from the box, and put it on her ring finger. Eudora held out her hand and looked at it for a moment. She was finally smiling. "It''s really gorgeous," said Eudora. Her smiling eyes were full of happiness. He grabbed her into his arms and said, "I''ll carry you down to the dining hall!" "No!" Eudora hurriedly waved her hand, "Aunt Valerie is still downstairs, it¡¯s embarrassing." But Amos insisted, "Aunt Valerie will be happy for us." After that, he lifted her up in a bridal style. Eudora screamed in surprise and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Amos'' neck. As Aunt Valerie saw the scene when they were heading towards the dining table, she smiled happily. She packed up her things quickly and said, "The food is ready. I''ll go home first!" After Aunt Valerie left, Eudora red at Amos and said, "Look at what you did, you scared Aunt Valerie away." Amos burst intoughter and said, "She''s giving us some space." Eudora curved her lips. She took a spoonful of brussels sprouts and fed it to Amos, "Here you go." Amos took the mouthful and chewed the vegetables in his mouth. "Is it delicious?" asked Eudora. Amos nodded and said, "Not bad." "Then you have to remember this taste. From now on, this is your favorite dish!" Eudora was, in fact, ying a prank on him because Amos had deliberately exposed her. "Hmm?" Amos raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You suddenly had the nerve to prank me?" Eudora raised her chin, "Are you going to eat it?" "Yes!" Amos smiled helplessly. He simply got up to ce the rest of the brussels sprouts in front of his te, and started to eat quickly. After he had eaten most of the vegetables, Eudora was dumbfounded. "Stop eating! Isn''t it bitter?" "It''s delicious!" Amos said with a smile. Not only that, he ate it with pleasure. Eudora was stunned. Was it really delicious? She picked up a spoonful of the brussels sprouts and tasted it. The next second, her eyebrows were almost wrinkled. "What kind of vegetable is this? Why is it so bitter?" said Eudora. She had tasted brussels sprouts before, but this was the most awful she had tasted. She suddenly felt pity for Amos who was eating something so bitter, just to please her. Eudora quickly reached out and took the te away from him. "Don''t eat it anymore. I was just kidding!" said Eudora. "No!" Amosughed, "Everything my wife said is right!" Eudora was stunned. This was the first time that he had addressed her as his wife! Her little heart suddenly throbbed. She had never experienced this kind of feeling before, even when she was in the Meyer family. "What''s wrong?" Amos looked at her. "Nothing!" Eudora shook her head. After thinking for a while, she added, "Honey!" Hearing this, Amos'' eyes were wide open. The next second, he put down the te in his hand and went straight to pick up Eudora. "What''s wrong?" asked Eudora in confusion. Amos'' lips curled up slightly, "We are going to have s*x!" Eudora was left speechless. It was their first time calling each other husband and wife. Amos was really enthusiastic that night, and he kept asking Eudora to address him as ¡°honey". Eudora''s eyes were dazed and she stared at the man who was not tired at all. "Honey!" Upon hearing that, Amos became even more enthusiastic. After that, Eudora was very tired and hungry. Amos washed her up and took her downstairs to eat. Eudora was nestled in his arms, hanging on to him like a ko bear. Amos rubbed her messy hair and said, "You felt very good. But, for your sake, I''m going to be more gentle next time." While they were eating, Amos'' cell phone suddenly rang. He paused for a moment and then picked it up. Eudora, who was leaning against his shoulder, didn''t say a word when she heard that he just replied "Hmm". "Is there something wrong with Wendy?" She looked up in a daze. "Yeah!" Amos nodded, putting another piece of meat into her mouth. Eudora shook her head and said, "Go ahead! I can eat by myself." "There¡¯s no need to hurry!" Amos said in a low voice. "You''ve lost a lot of weight recently, eat more." Eudora had no choice but to take another bite and said, "I''m full." Upon realising that she really didn''t want to eat anymore, Amos put down his cutleries and carried her to their bedroom. He ced her on the bed and nted a kiss on her forehead. He stroked her cheek and said, "Sleep early. I''ll be back when you wake up." "Okay!" Eudora nodded and kissed him. "Be careful." When Amos was out of her sight, Eudora¡¯s face became gloomy. She nced at the clock on the wall and it was almost eleven o''clock. Half a year! Eudora looked at the clock without blinking, watching the time pass by. As time passed by, the needle of the clock struck 12. She picked up a notebook from the table and opened it. She drew a vertical bar on the cover. Day One. Amos left for Wendy on the first day of the agreed half year period. Eudora stroked the cold ring on her finger and finally took it off, and put it in the drawer next to her. When Amos arrived at Wendy''s condominium, the room was azed with lights. The servant stood in the living room and looked at Amos with fear. "Miss Liam unexpectedly woke up, and then she couldn''t sleep. She was screaming inside her room. I really can''t do anything about it. Please go and have a look!" begged the servant. Amos frowned and asked, "Have you called the doctor?" "Yes, but the doctor is still on his way." the servant replied. "Rush him!" After that, he quickly walked towards the bedroom. Sounds of things dropping to the ground could be heard from Wendy¡¯s room. The woman in the room seemed to have encountered a horrible thing. She broke things desperately and screamed loudly. "Give me the key!" Amos reached out to the servant behind him. The servant quickly handed him the key. As soon as the door was opened, a cup flew over towards his direction. Chapter 85 Chapter 85 The servant cried out and avoided the attack. Amos Granger raised his hand to catch the cup. Then, he threw it to the servant, who was standing behind him, and strode inside. "Wendy! What''s wrong?" The originally mad woman seemed toe back to her senses the moment she heard Amos'' voice. She rushed towards Amos immediately. "Amos!" Just when she was about to run into his arms, Amos ced his hands on her shoulders, "What''s wrong?" He asked. Wendy paused for a moment. Then, she said in horror, "I had a nightmare. In my dream, someone was whipping me in a dark basement!" Upon hearing this, his gaze darkened, and said in a hurry, "It''s alright now. It''s just a dream. You''re now in Rosaville City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from that ce. Those people will never approach you again." "But I''m really scared!" Wendy said in a trembling voice. "It''s okay." Amos said. Then, he helped her to sit down on the bed and said, "Look at the flowers on the table and close your eyes. You will have a beautiful dream this time." "Really?" "Of course!" Amos nodded his head and said. Upon hearing this, Wendy closed her eyes obediently. Seeing how she was calmer, Amos took a deep breath and wanted to get up. All of a sudden, Wendy opened her eyes and said, "Amos, could you please stay here beside me?" Amos looked at his wristwatch. It was about one o''clock in the morning. "Okay. You should sleep first." Wendy closed her eyes with satisfaction, and managed to calm herself down immediately. The servant couldn''t help but praise, "Mr. Granger, you know how tofort people so well." Did he evenfort her? Amos was also shocked. Harley would definitely burst intoughter if he heard that. Amos was an indifferent person who spoke nothing but cold words just six months ago. Unexpectedly, he knew how tofort people now. Amos suddenly thought of thezy and mischievous woman. He couldn''t help but smile. ''She should have fallen asleep by now, right?'' He thought. Amos missed her so much. He stood up immediately and said, "Please take care of Miss Liam. I''m going back now!" "Okay!" The servant responded and nodded. However, just as he was done saying those words, Wendy opened her eyes again. She asked, "Amos, are you leaving?" Amos frowned, "You were not asleep yet?" "I''m not going to sleep. Bad guys wille to me if I fall asleep!" Wendy said. Amos was a little helpless. He tried tofort her, "There won''t be any bad people anymore!" Then, he turned to look at the servant, who was standing behind him and said, "Why isn''t the doctor here yet?" The servant said immediately, "I''ll go ask where he is now." Wendy looked at Amos apologetically and said, "I''m sorry, did I trouble you? Please just go back now. I''m fine being alone." Although she said so, Amos knew that she wasn''t emotionally stable yet. Therefore, he shook his head and said, "No, I''m not leaving." "Really?" Wendy smiled and said, "Can you please tell me a story then? Perhaps I''ll fall asleep listening to the story." A story? Amos frowned and said, "I don''t know how to tell a story." "Just tell me a story!" Wendy begged, "Just one!" After thinking for a while, Amos suddenly remembered the story Eudora George told him back then, when he was having rashes. He opened his mouth, looking somewhat awkward as he spoke. "How many steps would it take to put an elephant into the refrigerator?" Wendy looked at him in shock and asked him back, "How many?" Amos remembered how he refused to answer Eudora, as he was feeling very itchy from the rashes back then, so he wasn''t in the mood to cooperate with her jokes. Eudora begged him twice for a reply. Seeing how he kept quiet, Eudora could only answer herself. "Three steps!" "First, you have to open the refrigerator door. Second, you have to put the elephant in. Lastly, you need to close the refrigerator door!" Eudora burst intoughter after she finished speaking. Amos'' lips curved into a smile when he thought of the moment. Wendy looked at him shockingly. She said, "Are you smiling? Wow! This is the first time I''ve ever seen you smile. I must remember this joke forever!" Amos was dumbstruck. Did he just smile? All of a sudden, the servant came back, "Sir, Dr. Leon is here!" Dr. Leon was a psychiatrist whom Amos had hired just to treat Wendy. When Dr. Leon entered the room, he was very surprised to see that Wendy had already calmed herself down . "Did you give her any medicine?" Dr. Leon asked. "No!" The servant said. "Mr. Granger came in andforted Miss Liam, and she recovered after that." Upon hearing this, the doctor nced at Amos as he said, "Well, this is a good sign. This shows that her condition is improving. As her family member, you should spend more time with her. You should also let hermunicate with more people under suitable circumstances, for her to be more independent as well. Or perhaps, you could let her go to work, it might speed up her recovery process." "Can I really go to work?" Wendy asked happily. "Amos, did you hear that? I can go to work!" Amos frowned and said, "But, she''s still frightened when she is in a crowded area. Can she really go to work?" "Yes. But, she has to be familiar with the people working in thepany. I think this shouldn''t be a difficult task for you, Mr. Granger." Wendy quickly grabbed Amos'' arm and said, "I want to go to work." Amos pulled his arm back subconsciously as he asked, "Do you really want to go to work?" "Yes!" Wendy said with a smile. "What do you want to do then?" Amos asked. "I..." Wendy thought for a while before she said, "I haven''t thought about it yet..." "I remember back then you mentioned to me that you like designing clothes, right?" Upon hearing that, Wendy was dumbfounded. "I almost forgot about it!" She mentioned this to Amos when she wasforting himst time. She said, ''What do you want to do after we get out?'' However, Amos remained silent then. Thus Wendy continued on her own, "I want to learn fashion design. I want to design a beautiful dress!" Her eyes were gleaming as she spoke back then. Unfortunately, she looked so sorrowful now, unlike before. "It doesn''t matter!" Amos said, "You can always start from scratch. I''ll get a teacher to teach you fashion design tomorrow!" "Really?" Wendy was overwhelmed. "You''re so kind to me, Amos!" The next day, Eudora woke up, subconsciously looking at the spot next to her. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Amos was not beside her. She sat up immediately to look at the clock on the wall. It was already past eight o''clock in the morning. Was he not back yet? She didn''t bother to change her clothes either. She went downstairs hurriedly, and saw Amos sitting in the living room. He was reading the newspaper, like he always did. The anxiety in her heart then vanished into thin air. She walked towards him and put her arms around his waist. "When did youe back?" She asked. The man turned around and kissed her cheek. "I came back at three o''clock in the morning. I didn''t want to wake you up because you were sleeping soundly." "Oh!" Eudora remained silent for a while before she said again, "Well... let''s have breakfast together!" "Okay." Amos nodded his head, and took her hand. "The doctor suggested for Wendy to get to know more people. I nned to organize some team building activities this weekend. You..." "I''m not free!" Eudora interrupted Amos before he could even finish his sentence. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Although Eudora George knew that Amos Granger was only helping the woman to treat her medical condition, she still couldn''t ept the fact that her man was getting involved with another woman like this. If she hadn''t seen it with her own eyes, she might still be able tolerate with it. "Okay." Amos responded. He did not make things difficult for her. In fact, he knew that putting the three of them together would just turn things into a ridiculous show. After remaining silent for a while, Amos took Eudora''s hand to have breakfast together. Eudora finally had a rough idea for her design blueprints. Therefore, she had spent her time working either at the construction site or at her office for the next few days. She even continued with her design blueprints in her room when she reached home. The house was finally looking a little more lively when Amos came back. On Friday afternoon, Christopher Gellert asked Eudora in a mysterious tone, "Are you free tomorrow? I want you to meet someone." "Who is it?" Eudora asked. "She''s a friend of mine, the organizer of this designpetition. I mentioned you when I was talking to her that day, and she is very interested in you. Anyway, let''s just have a meal together." Upon hearing this, Eudora frowned and said, "Wouldn''t that be inappropriate? I''m afraid the result of thepetition will be biased." "What bias?" Christopher got a little infuriated. "I''m helping you to widen your connections. Do you understand? It''s good for you to know more people. By doing so, you''d have a backup n even if you don''t win thepetition! Do you want to rely on Amos forever? When he can''t even admit your rtionship..." All of a sudden, Christopher stopped talking. He took a deep breath when he realized Eudora''s body had stiffened. "I''m sorry, I went overboard." He said. Eudora shook her head and said, "You''re right! I do need a backup n for myself. You mentioned Saturday, right? Where are we going to meet your friend?" Upon hearing this, Christopher was instantly overjoyed and he said, "We''ll meet her at Rosaville City Hotel!" "Okay, see you tomorrow!" After saying that, Eudora packed her things and left. On the weekend. Rosaville City Hotel. Everything was going smoothly because Christopher was there. Eudora shared her design ideas to Christopher''s friend, which left a good impression on the person. In the end, the personughed and said, "If you weren''t working for Christopher, I would''ve really asked you to work with me." It was obvious that the person was just joking. However, Eudora smiled and said, "I promised President Gellert that I would never leave hispany." Upon hearing this, Christopher was on cloud nine. "You can''t take back your words, Eudora!" Eudora was helpless. She said, "Yes boss!" "Hey, why would you call me ''boss''? I don''t like how it sounds! But anyway, are you free today? There''s an arcade upstairs, shall we y some games together?" Eudora shook her head and said, "I don''t know how to y games." She had been a housewife all these years. How would she know how to y games? "It doesn''t matter, I can teach you!" After saying that, Christopher pulled Eudora upstairs. Eudora really didn''t want to go. All of a sudden, someone shouted, "It''s you!" "What a coincidence! Are you here to attend the gathering?" Eudora and Christopher looked over immediately. They saw Wendy Liaming out from a big private room, wearing a red dress. There were a lot of people inside. Eudora instantly spotted Amos sitting inside the room. He was also looking at Eudora at that moment. Eudora pulled her hand away from Christopher and said, "Uh no. We have something else to do." "Come on! Don''t be like this!" After saying that, Wendy had already grabbed Eudora''s arm to pull her into the room. Wendy was chatting happily while they were walking into the room. "I was so sad when you rejected my invitationst time! Fortunately, you''re here now. I really like you. I want to be friends with you." Upon hearing this, Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She said, "Sorry, I''m not here to..." "It doesn''t matter! Pleasee in and have a chat with us since you''re here! There are a lot of people here from Valiant East. I heard that you''re a designer too, right? I like designing clothes, and I wanted to learn fashion design initially. But, Amos was afraid that my condition would get worse if he asked someone else to..." Wendy was having chattering away, but Eudora had her fists clenched, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Christopher frowned. He walked over and grabbed Eudora''s arm. He said, "Aren''t we going to the arcade? Let''s go!" Eudora came back to her senses and responded, "Oh, right!" She didn''t want to go to the arcade. But she still felt that that would be a better option than staying in the room. Wendy was disappointed. "Oh I didn''t know you had other ns! I''m so sorry for wasting your time." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Eudora ignored her and left directly. Wendy turned her head only after the two were long gone. Amos had already came out and was standing right behind her. Wendy said without further thought, "Look at how happy they are! They''re even holding hands to go to the arcade together. They were also together when we met themst time! They must be lovers, right?" Amos frowned. He was staring at Christopher''s hand, which was holding on to Eudora''s. Wendy wanted to hold Amos'' hand when he didn''t give her any response. However, Amos put his hand into his pocket immediately. Wendy''s hand was left hanging in the air. Then, she pulled it back awkwardly. "Everyone''s waiting for us. We''d better get in now!" She said. Eudora pulled her hand back from Christopher''s when they were upstairs. Christopher did not mention what had happened just now. He took a hundred dors and handed it to the staff. "Please get me some tokens." He said. A momentter, he handed a huge load of tokens to Eudora. "See that basketball frame in front of you? Well, think of it as someone that you don''t like. The frame is her face, and you can throw the ball at her." Eudora looked at the childish man and said, "Forget it. I''d better go back!" "Please don''t leave! Watch me." Christopher said immediately. After saying that, he inserted a token into the game machine, and a basketball rolled out soon. Christopher picked it up, aimed it at the basketball frame, and threw it over. Bang! He scored the basketball urately! Christopher snapped his fingers, picked up a basketball and handed it to Eudora. "Did you see that? You could vent your anger in this way!" Eudora hesitated for a moment. Then, she followed what he did. She failed at her first shot. "It doesn''t matter. Let''s try it one more time!" Christopher gave her another basketball. Eudora mustered her strength and threw it over. The ball went in! A joyful celebration music sounded from the game machine, which sounded pretty motivating to the heart. Christopher handed another basketball to Eudora and said, "One more time!" In the end, Eudora kept throwing the basketball consecutively. Upon seeing this, Christopher inserted tokens into the other game machine and said, "C''mon! Let''s have apetition!" "No problem! You''d have to buy breakfast for the staff for a week if you lose!" Eudora said. "You''re so cruel!" Christopher gritted his teeth. "Fine, I''ll be more merciful to you. You''d have to treat me to breakfast for a week if you lose." "Deal!" Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Eudora George, who was a kind girl, seemed to have be a different person the moment she heard the word petition1. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Who would''ve known she actually won thepetition. Christopher said unwillingly, "Eudora, were you pretending to be bad at games all along? You look so soft and weak, and I didn''t know you could y so well!" "Did you just call me weak?" Eudora looked at him innocently and asked him back. "Well let me tell you, I''m a fiercepetitor. It''d be better for you to stoppeting with me. I''ll always try my best to win." Eudora used topete with Kesha George all the time when they were younger. "Well, I guess I have to call you a ''contender''!" "Thank you. Please don''t forget to buy breakfast for us this whole week!" "Sure!" Christopher said with a smile. After ying at the arcade, Christopher treated Eudora to some spicy kebabs. She did as Christopher said, numbing herself away with the spiciness, and out away from those unhappy things. Eudora ate a lot of spicy kebabs. However, she still couldn''t forget about those unhappy memories. It was alreadyte at night when she reached home. The lights in the room were switched off. Auntie Valerie must''ve gone back by now. Eudora stood in front of the pitch ck entrance at the door, and didn''t feel like entering the room at all. As she was spacing out, a dark figure grabbed her arm and pulled her back, turning her around as he pressed her against the cupboard. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She breathed a sigh of relief when the familiar masculine scent wafted into her nose. "Amos, you''re hurting me." Eudora said. Amos Granger didn''t say anything. It was obvious that he was consumed by anger. "Why did youe back sote?" Amos questioned. Eudora frowned and said, "I had some business to do." "Business? Was hanging out with Christopher Gellert business to you?" Amos interrogated her as he grasped her wrists tight. "Why did you let him hold your hand?" Hold her hand? Eudora didn''t find it too big of a deal at that moment. She was only bothered over the rtionship between Wendy and Amos. Besides, what right did he have to question her in this way? Anger welled up within Eudora''s chest. Then, she said in a hoarse voice, "Do you think you''re qualified to question me like this? What were you doing then? You were enjoying a gathering with other women. You even asked the staff from the design department of yourpany to help her. What an honour for her!" Eudora finally blurted everything out. However, she felt more ufortable now that she had said so. Amos frowned and said, "I told you before I just wanted to help her recover from her illness within six months!" "Yes! It''s all my fault!" Eudora shouted. She suddenly felt that she was very stupid. Why would she dwell over such a thing? "I''m sorry, I''m too tired. I don''t know what''s gotten into me. I might not be able to tolerate this for half a year." Amos hugged her as soon as she finished speaking. Both of them remained silent in that position for a long time, quietly. In the end, they never mentioned about the issue anymore. Eudora was almost done with her design blueprint. She incorporated the design elements of a Chinese rural style, along with those from the American rural style. The final result turned out to be quite interesting! Christopher was not confident about it in the beginning, citing that the styles would not match well together. However, he changed his mind after looking at the preliminary draft. "This is really good. Perhaps you can could even win the championship!" Eudora smiled. "I know you''re just trying to make me feel better, but I''m still very happy. Thank you." "I''m not trying to make you feel better. You''re truly an excellent designer!" Eudora said helplessly, "I''m not stupid. I can tell that you''re trying to make me happy." "Who says you''re not stupid? You''re the most stupid fool in the world. Did you think I wouldn''t know what happened with you and that woman if you didn''t tell me? I''ve already found it out myself!" Eudora was dumbstruck and said, "That''s none of your business." "It''s indeed none of my business. But, I don''t regret interfering. Eudora, how could you even tolerate such a thing? Do you really believe that the woman was his lifesaver just because Amos told you so? Well, if I must say, there''s definitely something going on between the two!" Eudora pursed her lips and said, "We''ve made a deal. I''ll give him six months." Christopher was bbergasted, he said, "You''re indeed a fool! They might even have a baby in six months!" "No!" Eudora shook her head and said. She knew clearly that Amos was different from other men. He would not sleep around with others! "Are you so sure?" Christopher asked. He felt that Eudora was overconfident. "I am very sure!" Eudora nodded her head and said. "I''m going to the construction site now. Let''s talk about it another day!" Christopher felt helpless. Eudora would always go to the construction site whenever they talked about Amos. The progress of the construction site was quite good. Eudora stayed there for a while. She passed by Valiant East when she was on the way back, and suddenly felt like popping in for a look there. She had never been to Amos''pany. She thought to herself that Wendy must''ve already been there before. After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone to debate on whether she should give Amos a call before visiting hispany. In the end, she still didn''t make the call. She went to a milkshake shop nearby to buy some drinks and snacks for Amos. She then went straight into Valiant East. The receptionist stopped her and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?" "I..." Eudora couldn''t spit out her words. What was she going to do even if she went upstairs to his office? Was she here to show everyone that she was Amos'' girlfriend? Or was she here to check on him? Was she qualified to do so? "I''m looking for Clint Zuckerberg!" Eudora said. "I''m sorry, Assistant Zuckerberg is very busy..." "Never mind then. Please pass these to him. He''ll know who gave it to him." After saying that, Eudora walked out of the building. After a short while, Clint came back to thepany with Amos. The receptionist stopped him and said, "Assistant Zuckerberg, ady asked me to pass these to you!" Upon hearing this, Clint raised his eyebrows. Why would someone give him something? "Did she mention her name?" Clint asked. "Nope! She said you''ll know who she is as soon as you saw these!" The receptionist answered. Clint nced at it to find that it was just some milkshake and snacks, without any note in it. He had no idea who gave him these. However, the food was pretty delicious. He was also quite hungry after going out with Amos. Amos nced at the food in his hand and asked, "Are these from your girlfriend?" Clint was startled and he said, "President Granger, stop joking. I don''t have a girlfriend! But, thisdy seems like a nice and considerate person. The milkshake and snacks are all of my favorite red bean vor. Oh! Here''s your favorite mint vor!" Amos didn''t really like mint vored foods. He only liked the mint vor snacks made by Eudora. So, was that woman...... Amos was dumbstruck. He turned back to the front desk to ask the receptionist, "Did that woman say anything else?" The receptionist looked at Amos in shock. She never talked to President Granger before ever since she was hired. She was so startled that she couldn''t manage to spit her words out. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 She responded only after a while, "No. But she just left not long ago, in that direction..." Amos Granger rushed out of the building before the receptionist could finish speaking. It was only then when Clint Zuckerberg finally realized the food and drinks were brought by Eudora George! He said to the receptionist in a hurry, "Why didn''t you ask her to stay? You could''ve asked her to wait in President Granger''s office!" The receptionist widened her eyes in puzzlement, "Assistant Zuckerberg, who is that person? Why are you so nervous? President Granger too..." Clint said with a dark face, "How dare you ask such a stupid question!" The receptionist was so shocked that her jaw dropped, Clint immediately snapped, "You''d better keep your mouth shut!" "Yes!" The receptionist nodded her head. However, the receptionist was very excited as she thought to herself, ''Oh my God! That woman is my boss'' future fiancee!" Eudora George saw Amos'' car returning when she was about to leave. She saw Amos walk into the lobby with his staff, looking as handsome as usual! Eudora stared at him for a while before she came back to her She couldn''t help butugh at herself mockingly. All of a sudden, she saw Amosing out of the office building again when she was about to start the car engine. He looked around in the parking lot, and his gazended on her car. Was she caught? Eudora wanted to leave immediately. However, Amos rushed over to block her car. "Cunning little vixen, where are you heading to?"Amos asked. Eudora was embarrassed. "I passed by and saw a milkshake shop. So, I wanted to buy some food and drinks for you." "Why didn''t you go into my office then?" Amos asked. "I... suddenly remembered that I have some things to do in mypany!" Eudora said. "Liar!" Amos saw through her. He came over and opened the car door. "Let''s go!" "Where are we going?" Eudora looked at him in surprise. "Didn''t you say that you wanted to visit me? I''m free now. Let''s go!" Amos said. "Forget it." Eudora shook her head and replied. What would others think of her if she were to enter Amos'' office? "No way!" Amos grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car. "You brought so much food and drinks for me. How am I supposed to finish them alone?" "Well, you could give some to Clint!" "He doesn''t like it!" Amos didn''t hesitate. Clint was drooling and looking at the food at that moment. Upon hearing what Amos said, he was dumbfounded, "What?" "Then just throw them away!" Eudora eximed. "I don''t want to waste any food!" Amos retorted. "...Since when did you be so thrifty?" Eudora asked. "I was like this ever since I got to know you. Otherwise, how would I have the money to marry you?" "..." Eudora was quite happy when he said that. Actually, she was extremely overjoyed. Amos was not afraid to bring Eudora to hispany at all. Did that mean that Eudora was the most important person to him? In the end, Eudora lost the argument and followed Amos into hispany. She pulled her hand away from Amos when they were about to reach the lobby. "I can walk by myself!" She said. Amos knew she was shy when he saw her flushed face. Therefore, he did not make things difficult for her. Eudora followed behind his back, entering the lobby again. Everyone was guessing what happened when they saw Amos rushing out of the building just now. Therefore, all of them had their eyes on him when they saw himing back to thepany. They saw Eudora, who was following behind him as well. Eudora was gorgeous, and she wasn''t just any ordinary beauty. Although she had only wore a simple dress today because she just came back from the construction site, that however didn''t stop her beauty from shining. Everyone began to talk about Eudora, "Is this President Granger''s girlfriend?" "Probably? President Granger finally got into a rtionship!" The receptionist also looked at Eudora in excitement. Eudora was embarrassed from all the stares. In the end, Amos even turned around to hold her hand. "All of you are right. She is my girlfriend, and she woulde here again in the future. So, please remember her clearly. All of you must treat her well!" Amos announced. Upon hearing this, Eudora was bewildered and in shock. She lowered her voice and protested, "Amos, why are you saying this!" "I''m telling the truth, aren''t I?" Amos said. Everyone cheered for them. Eudora was even more embarrassed now, Amos held her hand and the two went into his office together. Clint put down the food and drinks in the office and went out. Eudora examined Amos'' office as she walked in. The design was very simple and minimal. Eudora took out the snacks she brought and put it on the table. After eating, Eudora looked at the time and got up. "I should go back to thepany now. Thank you for having me today." Her voice was filled with mischief. Amos raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, it''s your turn to take me in tonight!" Eudora was speechless. Her cheeks were flushed red in an instant. "What nonsense are you talking about?" Amos'' lips curled up slightly. "I didn''t say anything. I said that I will be home early tonight. What were you thinking?" Eudora was speechless. She couldn''t argue with him. "I don''t want to talk to you anymore. I''m leaving!" Eudora said. At that moment, Clint came in to report the work progress. Therefore, Eudora left alone. A girl walked out from the elevator in a rush when the elevator doors were opened, bumping straight into Eudora. The girl was holding a pot of chicken soup and identally spilled it on Eudora''s arm. The soup was still burning hot. Eudora hissed in pain. The receptionist rushed out to hold her. "Miss! Are you okay?" "I''m fine!" Eudora said. However, she could feel a burning sensation on her arm. "Where is the restroom? I want to run my arm under cold running water." It would be much better to run her scalded arm under cold running water. Clint, who had juste out of the office, witnessed what happened. Eudora was wearing a sleeveless dress, and the burnt red marks were obvious. "Miss George, were you scalded? Come, follow me into the president''s office. I''ll get you treated." "I''m fine..." Eudora said. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "No way!" Clint quickly helped Eudora up and left. However, the girl holding the chicken soup was shocked. "Who is that woman? Why did Assistant Zuckerberg treat her so well?" "Oh dear!" The receptionist was annoyed. "Sunnie, I wouldn''t have asked you to open that pot if I knew this would happen. She''s President Granger''s girlfriend. We''re in trouble now!" "What?" Sunnie said, "How is that possible? Isn''t President Granger''s girlfriend Miss Wendy Liam?" "Who is Wendy Liam?" The receptionist asked. "Don''t you remember? President Granger asked all of us from the design department to have a gathering with a woman two days ago, and that woman is Miss Wendy Liam! She even asked someone to send this chicken soup to me. She even said that we should get together again some time." The girl replied. "But, President Granger just told everyone that the woman is his girlfriend! You can ask around if you don''t believe me!" The receptionist said. Upon hearing this, Sunnie waspletely dumbfounded. "What should I do? I just got an internship in the design department. I don''t want to be fired so soon!" The girl said. ''It''s all that Wendy''s fault. Why would she send this to me? Now she got me into trouble!'' She thought. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Clint Zuckerberg went into Amos Granger''s office and said immediately, "President Granger, Miss George was scalded." Amos frowned as he said, "Get the doctor." "You don''t have to do this!" Eudora George looked at them helplessly, "It''s not too serious. I just need it to leave it under cold running water and apply some aloe vera gel afterwards." After that, she went into Amos'' lounge alone. There was a restroom inside, where she could run her arm under cold water. The chicken soup wasn''t boiling hot, hence she was not badly burned. Coming out from the restroom, Eudora heard Amos asking Clint, "How did it happen?" Clint shook his head and said, "I''ve no idea. Things had already happened when I saw her. I''ll go check it out now." "There''s no need!" Eudora said in a hurry. "It''s just an ident. I''m really fine!" Amos grabbed Eudora''s arm and looked at it, then nodded his head. "Please be more careful next time. You don''t have to take the staff elevator. You can use the president''s elevator." "Is that really necessary?" Eudora retorted. Despite saying that, her heart was beaming. Eudora took the president''s elevator down. She saw the two youngdies from earlier waiting for her at the main entrance. They apologized to her immediately when they saw hering out. Eudoraforted them and said that it was all right. Then, she left. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our president''s fiancee is indeed a kind person!" "That''s for sure. Otherwise, why would President Granger fall in love with her?" As she spoke, Sunnie''s mobile phone rang all of a sudden. She saw the caller ID and answered the phone somewhat indifferently, "Yes?" Wendy Liam said gently on the other side of the phone, "Was the chicken soup delicious? I''ll ask them to deliver it to you again if it''s delicious." "You don''t have to do this!" Sunnie said in an awkward manner. "Thank you, Miss Liam." Wendy was startled, then she said, "Would you prefer any other food then?" "You really don''t have to do this anymore!" Sunnie repeated her words. Wendy said, "Well... What about President Granger? How was his work today?" "I''ve no idea!" Sunnie said. "I''m not even working in President Granger''s office, and I''m quite busy now by the way. Goodbye!" After that, she hung up the phone directly. Wendy was dumbstruck for a moment, and she threw her mobile phone onto the ground all of a sudden. Considering the fact that Amos promised to go back early in the evening, Eudora went to buy some cooking ingredients after work. Eudora had cooked a lot of brussels sprouts for himst time. Therefore, she decided to prepare a few sweet dishes today.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. She was nning to cook some sweet potato bites, sweet caramelised pork ribs, as well as chocte After she was done cooking, Auntie Valerie joked, "I suppose that Sir would fall into a honey jar today." "What honey jar? Auntie Valerie, please stopughing at me!" Eudora said. After that, Eudora went to wash her hands, but her mobile phone rang all of a sudden. She then asked Auntie Valerie to answer the phone call. "Please help me to answer the phone call." Auntie Valerie had already hung up the phone when Eudora was back from the washroom. Auntie Valerie stood there, as if she was hesitating to say something. Eudora paused for a while. She could tell what was going on. "Is Amos working overtime again? It''s okay. I''ll wait for him for a while." Eudora said. "No!" Auntie Valerie said, "Miss Liam fell sick again. President Granger asked us to eat first. He said we don''t have to wait for him." Eudora''s hands, which were holding a dish, stiffened. It took some time until she finally put down the te and said, "Oh, I see. Well... let''s eat then!" Auntie Valerie was a little angry. "Is Miss Liam only pretending to be ill? She''s always falling sick whenever you get closer to President Granger..." "Auntie Valerie!" Eudora stopped her. "After all, she''s Amos'' lifesaver." "Okay fine!" Auntie Valerie nodded her head and said, "Please eat first. I''ll be outside doing some chores." After Auntie Valerie left, Eudora finally put down her fork. She had lost all her appetite. In Wendy Liam''s apartment. Wendy''s situation was more serious than before, but she wasn''t going crazy this time, she was crying non-stop instead. Amos and the doctor had no idea what to do. In the end, the servant told them what had happened. "Miss Liam was very happy after getting to know the people you introduced to her. She even asked me to cook some chicken soup for them. Unexpectedly, they suddenly be hostile, and even asked Miss Liam to stop calling them. Miss Liam is very sad because she had lost her newly-made friends." Amos frowned. ''It''s because of chicken soup again.'' He thought. "Get out!" Wendy, who was still crying, suddenly shouted, "All of you, please get out now!" Amos and the others left, as they didn''t want to agitate her further. Then, the doctor and the nurse entered the room to inject the sedative into her arm. Aftering out, the doctor said, "Psychiatric patients tend to protect themselves, hence it''s hard for them to trust others. Miss Liam took great efforts to take the first step. However, she was treated in this way unexpectedly. I''m afraid it will be more difficult for her to trust others again in the future." Amos frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?" The doctor shook his head and said, "The only way is to take care of her patiently and guide her slowly. Please remember not to trigger or provoke her!" "I see." Amos nodded his head and responded. Amos entered Wendy''s room after the doctor had left. Wendy had calmed down because of the sedative. She was lying on the bed with a very confused look. Tears welled up within Wendy''s eyes when she saw Amosing in. She said, "They hate me. It''s all my fault. Amos, I don''t want to go to work anymore. I''ll just stay at home in the future." Amos shook his head and said, "I''ll help you to start a business!" Wendy was dumbfounded, "What?" "Didn''t you say that you like fashion design? I''ll open a fashion "But..." Wendy still wanted to say something. However, the servant, who was standing next to her suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Liam, no one would dare to treat you badly if you''re the boss!" "Really?" Wendy looked at Amos expectantly. "Yes!" Amos nodded his head. "I''ll ask Clint to prepare for this tomorrow!" Wendy finally nodded her head and sat up again. "I''m sorry. It''s sote already. You haven''t eaten yet, right? I''ll cook something, and we can eat together." Wendy said. "It''s okay!" Amos rejected her. "I have something else to do." "You''d have to eat even if you have something to do. I''ll cook now, it won''t take long." Wendy said. "That''s not necessary, you should go to bed early!" After saying that, Amos picked up his coat and turned around to leave. Wendy stood there for a long time before she asked, "Do you think he dislikes me?" The servant shook her head and said, "How could it be possible? Mr. Granger treats you so nicely. He would rush here whenever you''re in trouble, no matter what time it is." "Really? But he doesn''t even want to have a meal with me." Amos took a nce at his mobile phone. However, there was no missed call or text message. He frowned slightly and put down his mobile phone. Then, he started the car engine and drove away. The sweet dishes were still on the table untouched, and Eudora had fallen asleep on the table, Amos pursed his lips and bent down to hug Eudora. Unexpectedly, Eudora woke up. "When did youe back?" She asked in a daze. "How did I fall asleep here? Let''s go upstairs and sleep!" However, Amos wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "I''m hungry." Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Eudora George was stunned. She didn''t understand what Amos Granger meant. "I didn''t eat anything there, as I''d promised toe back to have dinner with you." A grownup man like Amos was talking to her coquettishly, as if he was a child. Eudora''s heart melted with his words. "I''ll prepare it for you." Eudora said. "Let me help you." Amos said. Both of them brought the cold dishes into the kitchen together. After heating up the dishes, they sat down and ate together. However, both of them remained silent when they were eating. The next morning, Eudora handed over her design blueprint to the person in charge of thepetition. She had finally aplished this huge task, thus she felt very satisfied. The preliminary round of the selections would start tomorrow. After that, they would judge the design blueprints publicly on a TV program until they selected the top winner of thispetition. Eudora seldom went to the construction site recently as she was busy preparing for thepetition. Now that she was finally free, she followed Christopher Gellert to check out the construction site. Progress at the construction site was good. The construction of a modern logistics center was estimated to be finished within a few months. The person in charge of the construction site was asking them a lot of questions, and Eudora was having a discussion with them. Her mobile phone suddenly rang. "I''m sorry, I have to answer this." said Eudora as she got up to answer the phone. An unfamiliar female voice sounded from the other side of the phone, "Are you Miss Eudora George? I''m the person in charge of the designpetition. Sorry to disturb you, but the CD you handed over this morning was damaged. We can''t y your designed blueprint. Please give us another copy by today. Is that okay?" Eudora frowned and asked, "How could this be?" "Sorry, we didn''t expect such a thing to happen either. Please do it as soon as possible, as we''ll start the selection process tomorrow. You will not be able to take part in thispetition anymore if you''re Eudora frowned, she felt somewhat uneasy. "Okay, got it." Eudora replied. After that, she returned to the construction site absent- mindedly. Seeing her troubled look, Christopher asked, "Who was it?" "The person in charge of thepetition, she called me to say that the CD I handed in this morning was damaged, and they need me to give them another copy." Eudora said. "Then you''d better go quickly! I can settle everything here." Christopher said. "It''s okay. It doesn''t take long to make another copy. Anyway, it''s still early." Eudora said. She felt guilty for being distracted from her job recently. Eudora wasn''t in a good condition recently. Although she would pretend as if nothing had happened, her feelings of anxiety could never lie. "It''s okay. There''s no need to be polite between the both of us, just go ahead!" Christopher said. Eudora finally nodded her head and said, "I''ll be back right away." Eudora went to buy a new CD to copy the files from herptop into the CD. Just when she was about to get into her car, she felt someone following her. She turned around, meeting the eyes of an old man. The old man smiled when he saw Eudora looking at him too. "Youngdy, you don''t look well. Are you having bad luck recently? Why don''t you buy a ?" It was then when Eudora saw the old man holding a good luck charm. "I''m sorry. I''m a little busy now." Eudora said. She never believed in these things. Good luck charms were only superficial items used tofort oneself. Unexpectedly, the old man caught up and continued, "Please just buy one! It costs ten dors only." Eudora did not know how to reject him, thus she gave him ten dors with the leftover money she used to buy the CD. The old man gave a green charm to Eudora happily as he said, "You''re my first customer today. Let me give you a piece of advice. Nothingsts forever. If you continue to dwell in the rtionship, you will only suffer more in the future. You have to make wise decisions in order to change your fate." Eudora did not take his words too seriously and smiled. "Thank you." She threw the charm in the passenger seat and drove the car back to thepany. She opened theptop, and was about to insert the CD. However, she couldn''t seem to open the CD tray of theptop. Eudora tried to fix it but to no avail. She felt more uneasy now. She took a deep breath and tried to fix it again. Theptop had no problem before this! In the end, Eudora managed to pull out the CD tray. She breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to put the CD in. However, the screen of theptop cked out all of a sudden. Eudora''s heart skipped a beat. She stared at theptop for almost two minutes before she tried to turn N?velDrama.Org owns this. it on again, but it didn''t work either. She finally understood why she felt uneasy today. Her sixth sense was telling her that something bad was going to happen. Eudora quickly took theptop downstairs to find someone to repair it. As she got into the car, she saw the green charm on the passenger seat, and suddenly remembered what the old man had told her. Therefore, she picked up the charm to look at it. After looking at it for a while, she smiled and thought she was being ridiculous. Since when she believed in things like this? She was the only one who could control her own fate. She threw the charm into the backseat of the car and went headed directly towards theptop repair shop. The staff at the shop however, said that the owner of theptop had left a confidentiality agreement. They could only repair it after getting the agreement. Theptop belonged to Amos. He gave it to Eudora because she needed it to draw the design blueprint. Eudora gave Amos a phone call, and he said that the agreement was left in thepany. He would ask Clint to send it to her after the meeting. However, Eudora was running out of time, therefore she could only tell him that she would get it herself. She hurried to Valiant East immediately. Everyone in thepany was treating her nicely this time, but she was in such a hurry that she couldn''t bother to care. She went to Amos'' office. However, Amos was still in the meeting room at that moment. Therefore, Eudora decided to look for the agreement in the cab. Fortunately, the agreement was ced in an obvious section, and Eudora managed to find it immediately. When she got up from the cab, Eudora identally hit a stack of documents on the table. The documents fell to the ground. Eudora bent down to pick the documents up. However, she identally read the contents of the document. It was about registering a fashion designpany. The legal owner of thepany was Wendy Liam. Eudora suddenly remembered the time when Amos had asked all the staff from the design department to have a gathering with Wendy, because Wendy told him that she loved fashion design. Was Amos going to register apany for Wendy? The door was opened when Eudora was in a daze. Amos and Clint had just finished the meeting. Eudora picked up the documents and put them away. "I''m sorry, I identally dropped your documents just now." Amos frowned when he saw the content of the documents. He said, "Wendy is in bad condition. The doctor said that she would be more reluctant to connect with people now. So, I nned to register a
