Christopher Gellert chuckled. He did not admit it, neither did he deny it. "President Granger, you must be joking. It's just that everyone thinks a good woman and a good man would fit together. Well, I'm no exception either, am I?" Eudora George frowned, and she heard Amos Granger snort at the next second. "Very well!" After that, he led Clint Zuckerberg straight into the room. The leader of the other party knew Amos was coming, so he had been waiting for him outside. When he saw that Eudora and Christopher were following behind him, he thought they came together like last time, so he hurriedly went up to greet them. "Mr. Gellert, Miss George..." Amos frowned and said, "Let's meet another day if you want to see them first." The leader of the other party was dumbfounded. He quickly changed his words. "President Granger, I seem to have misunderstood, I'm sorry about that." After saying that, he immediately called the secretary.
The person in charge didn't know what exactly happened either, "It just started burning all of a sudden. Fortunately, the firemen arrived in no time, and they saved the young man in the room." The young man was sitting against the wall, and he looked extremely terrified. His life was hanging by a thread just now, it was no wonder that he was frightened. A policeman came forward to ask him, "You were the last one to come out. What exactly happened?" The young man shook his head, suddenly shouting loudly, "Someone, someone wants to kill me." Eudora George's heart sank. "What? What did you see?" "I saw someone throwing something at the window, and then it started to catch fire!" Christopher Gellert was shocked. "Are you sure?" The police immediately sealed the scene and began to look for traces. They began to inquire everyone who was present in detail, asking each of them if they had any grudges or conflicts with anyone. Everyone shook their
"Miss George!" Wendy Liam stopped her again, as she handed her an invitation. "My design company is about to open for business soon. I hope that you can be there, Miss George." The gold-plated invitation was a little dazzling. Eudora George did not take it. "I don't think that's necessary. I have nothing to do with Amos Granger anymore. You don't have to come look for me anymore." However, Wendy caught up to her again. "This is something between you and me! What does it have to do with Amos?" Eudora frowned. "If it's just you and me, then it's more unnecessary, because I don't like you!" She thought that she had made it clear, but Wendy still wasn't giving up. Eudora frowned, subconsciously giving her a push. All of a sudden, the lights above her head went out, and her vision fell into complete darkness. There were no windows in the backstage room where they were located, and they couldn't see anything in front of them without the lights.
As she was thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a squeak, and a figure came in from outside. The person wore a mask on his face, only revealing his two eyes. But those eyes were full of rage, which gave Eudora George the chills when she met them. The man's eyes were fixed on Eudora's face for a moment, then he moved away immediately. Then, he walked up to Wendy Liam, lifted his foot, and kicked her. "Get up." Wendy was instantly awakened by the kick. When she glanced around her surroundings, her whole body suddenly started to tremble, as if she was reminded of something awful. Her face was as pale as paper. "What are you guys trying to do?" The man gave her a hard smile. "Oh, what do you think I'm going to do? It's all your man's fault. He hurt me without knowing what's good for him, so I could only kidnap you guys for my revenge!" Wendy was extremely terrified. "What man are you talking about? I don't know!" "Stop f**ki
"Hahaha!" Thomas Shelby finally burst into laughter. "Amos Granger, you finally have something you care about, huh? Very well! Listen up, you have to come to the West Hill alone this evening. If you dare to bring the police, then you'd prepare to clean up your lover's body!" Wendy's cries were heard on the phone, and then the call was hung up. "Hey!" Amos called again, but what was left was the busy tone after the phone call ended. He was extremely irritated, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Then, he looked up at Harley Louis next to him. "You should go back!" Harley was dumbstruck. "What's going on?" "Nothing. You must be tired too. He wants to meet us tomorrow, so you should go back now, have a good rest and recover your energy and strength." Upon hearing this, Harley looked at him suspiciously. "Really?" Amos didn't say anything else. He got up, and went to the lounge next to him to lie down. Uh-huh?
Amos Granger gritted his teeth as he looked at Eudora George, who was slowly rising. She still refused to look at him. From the moment he had came in, she didn't make a single noise even though she was injured all over. This is the kind of woman she was, an extremely stubborn one. But it was also because she was such a woman, that she had his heart ensnared. However, Thomas Shelby was a lunatic. If he knew that Eudora was the person he truly cared about, he would most probably do something crazier. Amos tried to calm himself down as he spoke. "Thomas, what are you talking about? I just hope that the things between us would not involve hurting innocent people." "Innocent people?" Thomas spat. "Amos, do you think I'm a f*cking fool? Do you still want to play tricks against me?" After that, he suddenly threw a bright thing at Amos. Amos stretched out his hand to grab it. It turned out to be a necklace, which he had seen before. Back then, when he
"Does it hurt?" Thomas Shelby smiled ferociously. His hand was holding onto the dagger that was still plunged into Amos Granger's flesh. It was so painful that his sweat was dripping down his face. However, he gritted his teeth and did not utter a word at all. He couldn't speak, all of his strength was in his arms now. If he were to say anything, there was a high probability that he would lose his strength, which could put Eudora George in danger. Eudora gawked at Amos. From this angle, no one could see it more clearly than she did. She saw it with her own eyes. She saw the silver dagger piercing into Amos' flesh. As she looked at it, she could feel it in her heart as well, as if it had been pierced too. It was so painful that she had forgotten how to breathe. "Let go!" Eudora suddenly shouted. "I don't need you to rescue me, I don't need it!" When you have chosen Wendy just now, then I have nothing to do with you anymore! Eve
The darkness around her suddenly vanished, and she could finally take a clear look of the room. It was damp and dull, with only a dim light swaying above her head. She could see a child being violently beaten up with a whip. She tried to rush forward, but her body felt like it was being restrained by a force. She couldn't move at all. At the same time, she could also feel the heart wrenching pain as every whip was lashed on the child's body. "Run!" She shouted desperately. The child, whose head was lowered as she was being beaten up, suddenly raised her head, and looked directly into her eyes. Eudora George's whole body trembled. She could recognise who the child was. It was her younger self. When their eyes met, Eudora suddenly felt an invisible force pulling her away. In the next second, she was already hovering in the air. She could hear a deep voice calling her name. "Eudora." As she gradually opened her eyes and saw t
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
