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 room lazily. 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 played by the rules. He knew he could have gotten her if he played 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
"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 tobacco. Eudora George shivered. 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."
"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 project last 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 planned by you! You knew what kind of person Franco Horace is and you deliberately arranged for us to meet at the hotel. W
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 glanced around her surroundings. She was tied up on a bed. The room was very dark and she could vaguely see that there were iron chains and whips around her. Eudora recalled the last 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? Alas, you've come back to me." Eudora's entire body trembled. "Where am I?" "Welcome to my
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 Hora
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. The law will not spare him! Imprisonment is probably too small a punishment for h
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 you come 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 slap. "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 ordinary commoner. 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 d
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 blanket covering her body sl
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
