At the thought of this, Harley let go of Thea. "Now that you're home, I should go home too!" He took a deep breath and turned around. She tried to grab him from behind, but she failed. Instead, she fell to the floor with a thud. "Ouch..." She said in a low voice. Harley finally could not bear it any longer. He walked back and picked her up. Thea hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his lips again. This time, Harley dared not move anymore. He felt that he was on the verge of exploding, and he did not want to give himself any reason to act impulsively. However, Thea, who was in a daze, did not seem to think that way. She licked his tongue and smiled at him sweetly. "You taste good! Harley..." Harley did not care anymore. Whatever sense of reason he had left finally disintegrated in an instant. He put her on the bed and quickly leaned over. "You flirt with me fist!" ...... Eudora and Juju were
"Amos..." Just as Eudora was about to speak, Amos dragged her down and blocked her lips once again. This time, he could not suppress his primal instincts anymore. He immediately pulled off her pajamas, his big hands wandering all over her body. This feeling was a little strange, yet familiar, making Eudora feel even more confused. In the end, a horrifying scene seemed to flash in her mind when he pulled off the last of her clothes. It was a group of men looking at her ferociously. Her heart sank, and the feeling of confusion disappeared in an instant. She screamed and pushed Amos away immediately. Amos turned on the lights hurriedly and hugged her. "Don't be afraid. I'm here." He chided himself for not holding back his desires just now. He thought that she had already forgotten all about it and that those memories had been flushed away. They were married, and it had been a long time since the Old Master had passed, so he did not think that ther
Clint thought for a while before finally speaking. "Are there some new projects that needed my attention?" "No!" Amos shook his head. After that, he asked again, "Just tell me if you are well-versed with them!" Clint nodded shyly, "Of course I am! I like to browse the Internet when I have free time. Some internet slang would pop up every now and then. There are a few popular ones right now, like 'Meme', 'Epic Fail', 'Well Played' and so forth. Amos was confused by the words that Clint was saying at this moment, and he seemed to recall what Eudora had said the night before. "Has anyone ever told you that you are really old-fashioned?" Amos, the old-fashioned man, felt insulted. Coincidentally, Clint said, "Actually, internet slang is quite interesting. I could explain it to you if you are still unsure about it. For example, a meme refers to an image, text, or video that could be copied and modified over and over again. Some people would ev
Amos was not in a hurry. He poured himself a glass of red wine, sat down, and tasted it carefully. "Hadn't you always been a professional playboy? You've found true love, yet you failed to notice it." Harley was already half-drunk. "What true love? I truly love her, yet she only treats me as an escort! She even paid me for sleeping with her!" Amos smiled unkindly. Harley was complaining as he looked at Amos. Amos rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Harley sighed. "God, why don't you just let me be alone? Women are unreliable, and now even buddies are unreliable too!" Amos rolled his eyes at him. All of a sudden, his phone rang, and it was from his sweet daughter. "Daddy, when are you coming back? Mommy said that she is cooking your favorite chicken!" Amos replied decisively, "I'm on my way." Then, he stood up and kicked Harley. "Alright, enough is enough. I'm going home for dinner. Do you want to come al
Steven nodded and said, "Of course we care! Eudora, as I said before, we are a family!" Eudora nodded, "You're the one who said those words! Remember, family helps each other out." Steven thought that he had successfully fooled Eudora. He smiled sincerely, "Of course!" "Alright, help me measure it then!" Eudora said. Did these two people really think that she could be fooled? What a joke! How stupid she would be to fall for their tricks? Steven was stunned. "There are workers who could measure it! I'll call someone..." "Didn't you say that we're family?" Eudora asked back. "I'm a strict person. I don't trust anyone else apart from myself. If you hadn't said that I'm your family, I would not have asked you for help. It seems that I've trusted you too much!" Steven's lips twitched. "Eudora, what are you talking about? Weren't we going to measure the place? Let me do it!" He then went forward and grabbed the laser-measuring instrument.
Eudora shook her head. "No, it was his assistant who called me! I found the information on my computer and came here after learning about it." Amos frowned and thought that it was a little strange. At this moment, Eudora's cell phone rang. It was Christopher, "Eudora..." Eudora was stunned and she turned to look at Amos subconsciously. Christopher had suddenly called her. Would Amos be angry with her? Amos asked, "Who is it?" "I'm looking for Amos," Christopher said. Eudora was speechless. Was her job just to transfer calls? He seemed to be jealous because she was close to a few girls the last time. Should she also be jealous right now? Forget it, she was not that crazy! Amos had already answered Eudora's phone at this moment, "Amos speaking." "Amos!" Christopher said hurriedly, "Please do me a favor..." ...... Eudora understood the ins and outs of the situation when they were making their way to the Gellert house. Chris
Her heart ached, but Thea still put on a faint smile. "Yes, you're right. We're just friends! I seemed to have thought too much." The two of them smiled at each other, but both of them could feel their hearts aching. At this moment, Harley's phone started ringing. He immediately came up with an excuse, "Well, I still have some other businesses to attend to. I'll leave first!" "Okay. Go ahead! I'm leaving too!" The two waved at each other and said, "See you again." However, everyone knew that they would not see each other again. Even if they met each other, they would be like strangers. When they turned around, tears flooded their eyes. ...... After returning to Clearwater Bay, Amos went to his study room alone. As soon as he closed the door, he called Clint. "Get someone to keep an eye on Steven. The moment they take action, get someone to arrest him immediately." Clint was stunned, "Mr. Granger, didn't you say tha
Steven was dumbfounded. Although he did not like how Bethany had always directed him around as though he was still a child, at the end of the day, it was she who had pulled him to his position, so he dared not cross the line. Therefore, he would show respect to her no matter what. However, at this moment, he did not expect Bethany to return. "Aunt Bethany, why are you here?" Bethany's expression softened, "I got a little bored staying at home all the time, so I came to have a look at the party. What's the matter? Have I arrived not at a proper time?" "Of course not!" Steven smiled and hurried to help her, "Aunt Bethany, let me help you!" Eudora pursed her lips and snickered once Steven and Bethany left. "What a coincidence! It seems like a great show is about to start." Amos, on the other hand, did not seem surprised at all. Eudora was stunned, "Did you already know that she would come?" "It's not hard to guess! She seemed as though she h
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
