Hearing Juju's words, both Eudora and Amos were stunned. The woman wanted to say something, but the crowd were already beginning to point and gossip. "What's wrong with the society these days? The poor family can't even be left alone to spend time and shop together in peace." "That's right. Do you think that you can barge in and destroy other people's families just because you are somewhat pretty? You really ought to be ashamed of yourself." After being verbally attacked by the crowd, the woman finally couldn't help but grit her teeth and run away sheepishly. Only then did Eudora sigh in relief and turn to look at Amos, "Are you alright?" Amos didn't say anything. He lowered his head and glanced at his wheelchair. Following his gaze, only then did Eudora realize that his wheelchair was stuck in between the drain gaps, and his ankle was injured because of it. Hence, he was unable to get out. He couldn't bear to have his subordinates se
At this very critical moment, Amos suddenly pulled her up and turned around with a swift motion. He fell on the couch, while Eudora fell on top of him. Their awkward position made Eudora's heart skipped a beat. Embarrassed, she scrambled to stand up again. But the next second, her legs gave way and she slipped again. This time, her lips brushed onto Amos' cheek, flaring up the situation even more. "I'm... I'm sorry." Eudora hurriedly got up and was baffled at the series of events that just happened. Just minutes ago, she had said in a righteous tone that she didn't want to have anything to do with him, but the next second, this happened. Amos felt his heart become hollow once again the moment she got up from him. Thus, when Eudora apologized to him, he suddenly replied, "You've harassed me, and now you have to take responsibility for your actions." Eudora was speechless. Seeing that she didn't speak, Amos said again, "I am serious! I don
Strictly speaking, Christopher was the most important and rightful person in the family. His mother was Old Master Gellert's first wife. When Master Gellert was in his worst shape, she followed him and stayed by his side without hesitation. She was the one who built up the foundation bricks of their family business with Master Gellert. To help his father, his mother was willing to give up on her pregnancy and sacrifice her baby for the business. Later on, when everything finally got steadier after years and years of hard work, she found that she was pregnant again. The blessing of another child made her jump with joy. Alas, when she wanted to tell Master Gellert the good news, he showed up in front of her with another woman and a child. The child was Christopher's oldest brother, an illegitimate child who was older than him. Due to the immense sadness, his mother could not bear the heavy blow and slipped into depression during her pregnancy. As soon gave b
With a pull of his big hand, Eudora, who was originally pressed against the corner, was suddenly on his lap. Amos then lowered his head and pressed his warm lips on hers. With a buzz, Eudora felt something exploding in her mind in an instant. When she came back to her senses, she quickly pushed him away, but Amo's strength was so strong that her efforts were in vain. At the same time, in the corner, a woman this scene and could not help biting her lip. Amos had said that he didn't want to think about anything else after injuring his legs. However, it seemed that he could no longer control himself once he saw Eudora. While the woman was deep in her thoughts, someone behind her called out, "Miss Liam?" Wendy quickly came back to her senses. Taking advantage of this, Eudora pushed Amos away and ran off. Looking at the woman disappearing so quickly, Amos frowned. Wendy walked towards him as if she had not seen what had happened just now. She
Amos felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Not only because he had promised Old Master Granger, but also because he had just seen Christopher with her. The relationship between them was so intimate, so natural. He admitted that he was very jealous. The jealousy was so overwhelming, and it was killing him. If he could go back in time, he wished that the person who stayed by her side in Italy for the past five years was him, not Christopher. Therefore, when he found out that today was Valentine's Day, he got this sudden thought in a flash. No matter what, he had to confess his love to her. Even though he might scare her away, he would do everything to win her back. If there was one thing that he was sure of, he didn't want to see her with another man. Seeing that she did not speak, Amos asked, "Can we be together?" Mentally, Eudora was flung into a total mess. Not only was she shocked by his confession, but she was also stunned at the fact that
Moreover, Clint was also worried that Amos had been inside for too long and something might happen to him. He had no choice but to take the plans from his colleagues and open the door. As soon as he went in, he heard the sound of a proposal file being thrown on the floor. "Tell them to redo everything!" Clint muttered a prayer inwardly, "Amen." He sneaked out the office as fast as he entered. After passing the plans back to the men outside, Clint apologized. "Sorry, I can't help you." "What should we do then?" This project is about to start, we can't have it delayed anymore!" While they were talking, Wendy came strutting out of the elevator. She smiled alluringly as she walked past, greeting them, "Hi, everyone!" Wendy had frequented her visits to the office over the past few years, so everyone knew her. Therefore, everyone also forced a smile at her in return. However, it looked very bitter.
Amos was stunned. He didn't know how things had turned out like this, but for someone as smart as himself, he guessed quickly who had come up with this idea. It must be the doing of Clint and the others. They saw that he was in a bad mood, thus they asked Eudora to come here. Thinking of this, Amos shook his head. "Although I am angry, it will not affect my judgment. There is no problem with the drawing, but Anya does not have the qualification to handle such a big case. It would only bring us more trouble if she couldn't find a good designer to finish this project together after I agree to the proposal. As a senior designer, you should know this, don't you?" It never occurred to Eudora that Amos would say that, but she had to admit that he had a point. "Don't you have a lot of experienced designers in your company? Can't you..." "Miss George, are you willing to do it?" Amos interrupted her directly. Eudora George was stunned and immediately shook he
Eudora gritted her teeth, "Why can't you agree to it? First, this drawing is excellent. If this becomes a reality, Valiant East will get to set a precedent. Second, if you give the newbie a chance, it allows the staff of Valiant East to know that the company is willing to entrust and promote newcomers, and third, you are doing all this to make me stay here, aren't you? Now that I'm staying, what else do you want?" The more Amos listened to her words, the higher the corners of his mouth raised. She was indeed his lady! After so many years, she was still so smart. Clint and Anya, who stood next to her, felt ashamed. They thought that Eudora didn't know what they were up to. But it turned out that she already knew everything all along. But even if she knew, she was still willing to help Anya. All of a sudden, Anya was choked up. "Miss Eudora, I..." Eudora shook her head at her. "Mr. Granger, are you going to agree to it or not? Otherwise, I'll le
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
