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
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
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 a large 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
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 playful rascal. "Okay, I'm a rascal!" Amos laughed. "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 ha
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 black Maybach took Miss George away..." Amos frowned. "I see." Black 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 ri
Eudora George was rooted to the spot for a while, she did not know whether to cry or laugh. 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 somethi
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 the laptop 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 my laptop 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 your computer?" 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 my laptop." "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
Only then did Eudora realize that even the meal with her yesterday was part of her plan. 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 succeed 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 and laughing." 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 exclaimed. Jacqueline pointed to a spot on the screen and added, "This is on my draft too. I designed it!" It was a Eur
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
