Steven Granger heaved out another sigh when he saw that Eudora George was quiet. "To be honest, I'm also pretty troubled. Since I was a child, my family has been in a mess. I really admire families in which everyone could get along well. It's hard to achieve for a family like ours." He was right. While Eudora was still extremely cautious around Steven, she did agree with his sentiments. "Unfortunately, I was still young at that time, so I couldn't do anything about it. Now that I've grown up, I'm finally capable of dealing with it. In the future, I'm certain that Amos and I will be able to get along with each other." Eudora raised her eyebrows. Steven did not push further when he realized that Eudora was unconvinced. "Actions speak louder than words in matters like these. Only time will tell." All of a sudden, he asked, "Eudora, if I remember correctly, you're a designer, right?" Eudora nodded, "Yes! "That's great! Our amusement park is c
"Oh, you're both here." Tina Holt did not seem well. Her face looked sharper and thinner than before. She nodded slightly, "It's better for me not to..." Before Tina could even finish her sentence, Christopher Gellert had already taken her hand in his. "Since we're all here, we might as well treat this as our honeymoon. We haven't spent a honeymoon since we got married anyway!" Christopher beamed. Tina was taken aback by Christopher's behavior. She frowned. Christopher, however, just smiled widely at her. Back then, he told Eudora George that he liked Tina. That was the reason they got married in the first place. Now that Amos Granger was here, Christopher did not want to look pathetic next to him. Tina had never seen this winning, handsome smile from Christopher before. Her brain short-circuited for a moment. They merely stared at each other in silence. When Eudora saw what was happening, she left the couple alone happily and walked back to
Amos Granger glanced over at Christopher Gellert. Harley's eyes gleamed in anticipation. "Wow Christopher, I thought you'd have settled down since you've gotten married. What did you mean by that? You're not infatuated with Eudora, are you?" Amos' tone turned cold, "Watch it, Harley." Harley's neck shrunk at the tone, "Did I say something wrong?" "Eudora and I aren't like that. No matter what, she will always be my best friend," Christopher said coldly. Harley Louis burst into a bout of laughter. His amusement died down as he slowly made his way to rest his arms on the pool's edges. "Amos, what's your take on this? Do you think that something is going on between them?" Amos frowned, "What are you even talking about?" "Come on, you're not that oblivious, are you? Haven't you ever suspected if there was anything more than a platonic relationship between the two of them? Surely you must have!" With that, a trigger was set off.
At the same time, Christopher Gellert had just walked out of the men's hot spring. As soon as he walked by the women's hot spring, he heard Tina's familiar voice shouting in alarm. Taking a look around, he saw that all the other girls were outside. Tina Holt was alone in there. His heart chilled. Without a second thought, Christopher barged straight into the room to look for Tina. Right as Eudora George and the others came over, they saw that Christopher had already carried Tina out. Tina's cheeks were tinted bright red as she lay on Christopher's chest. He had wrapped her up in a towel. "Is everything okay?" Eudora asked worriedly. "It's nothing. It was just a cramp," Tina explained hurriedly. Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. She had technically played a hand in this. If anything bad had actually happened, Eudora wouldn't have been able to live with herself. Having noticed that she was being surrounded by a crowd, Ti
That wasn't the end of it. Amos Granger later took her to their bed once more. In the end, Eudora George fell asleep, worn out from the passionate night. When she finally calmed down, Amos reached out and softly caressed her face in absolute satisfaction. "Honey, now let's see if you'll have the energy to take such interest in other men." ...... When Amos got up the next day, Eudora was already not in the room. This sort of situation was common, especially since Juju had moved out. Whenever he was too rough with Eudora in the bedroom, she would usually flee to Juju's room in the middle of the night. Therefore, Amos didn't really think too much of her absence. After he got out of bed and washed up, he ordered some breakfast. He then walked over to Juju's room and pushed the door open. Juju was already up and she had changed out her pajamas, "Good morning, Daddy!" She greeted with enthusiasm upon seeing Amos at her door. "Good morning," A
Amos Granger stood up abruptly. As soon as he opened the door, Harley Louis was already rushing in, "Amos, do you know where they went?" Before Amos could even get anything out, Christopher's door had opened as well. Although he did not speak, he looked at Amos expectantly. It was obvious that he had been waiting by the door for a long time. The three men formed a temporary group alliance at that moment, "They're at the bar," Amos eventually managed to utter through gritted teeth. ...... Meanwhile, Eudora George, Thea Steward, and Tina Holy were drinking happily at the bar. In the early hours of dawn that morning, Eudora was about to make her way to Juju's room when she heard a noise outside. Feeling curious, she opened the door and spared a look around. She saw a red-eyed Thea who had just come back from outside. Upon seeing Eudora, the woman threw herself into her arms and cried. Her crying also caused Tina to step out of her ro
Meanwhile, Amos had carried Eudora up and walked out from the bar. Behind him, Christopher was supporting Tina while Harley was dragging Thea with him. The three handsome men and the three drunkards had suddenly caught everyone's attention. Eudora struggled desperately, hoping Amos to put her down from the moment he picked her up. However, Amos's face was pitch black. He ignored her struggles. Eudora had no choice but to shout angrily, "Where's the woman-in-charge? I thought I asked for a man that would listen to me? This one doesn't listen to me at all! I really dislike him!" Amos's face became even darker, "Why are you calling that woman?" His deep voice was cold, which caused the hair on the back of Eudora's neck to stand. However, the next second, she suddenly became fierce again. "Why are you being so fierce? I'm a guest! You'd better serve me well!" Amos was speechless. Christopher, who was behind him, was not much better. Tina had
Thea's smile was obviously enchanting, yet Harley Louis could see the sadness in her eyes. He felt a stab in his chest as he reached out to push her away. "Is someone else's words worth torturing yourself over?" "Is it worth it?" Thea Stewart smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter! No one cares anyway! So why should I care if it's worth it or not? Life is short, so I don't want to think too much!" "Idiot!" Harley gritted his teeth, "You will regret it when you wake up!" "Why would I? Do you hate me as well?" Then, Thea hugged Harley from behind. Under normal circumstances, Harley would never reject a woman who had thrown herself to him willingly. He had always believed that it was natural for men and women to feel an intimate attraction towards each other. He didn't need to beg her. After all, he didn't want to be miserable like Amos. But this time, he hesitated. He could never bear to hurt a girl in pain. "Hey..." He frowned, "D
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
