While Thea was walking along, disheartened, she was hauled backward by someone. Before she could even let out a sound of protest, Harley had already yelled at her. What made her even sadder was the open disgust she could see reflected in his eyes. Did he really think she was really without shame? Perhaps, he was right. She probably was shameless at this point. Directing a wry smile at her, she replied, "What's the matter, Officer Louis? So what if I am? Are you going to lock me up?" "You..." Harley snarled. "What?! May I remind you, Officer, that you and I are just friends at most. What rights do you have to judge me? It's none of your business." "Fine! You're right, my bad then. See if I care if you get into any trouble next time!" He yelled back, equally angry. After that, he turned and stomped away. Thea watched him leave with pursed lips. Once he was out of sight, she started to rub her belly. Her mind replayed the doctor's w
Gordon was stunned by the news, "Is Kesha coming back? What about Eudora?" Felicia knew that he would definitely mention Eudora. She had gone abroad about five years ago and she had taken a large sum of money with her at that time. She thought that she must have disappeared without a trace. She did not expect her to return. Fortunately, the old man didn't know what was going on exactly. Felicia smiled and teased, "You forgetful oaf! Did you forget that Eudora had gone abroad already? We haven't heard from her yet." Gordon nodded a little as his face shone slight disappointment. "Why hasn't Eudora come back?" He sighed. "Don't worry about her. She's living a good life now. With me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything," Felicia said hurriedly. Eventually, they left the house to head towards the market for groceries. As they shopped, their conversation kept flowing. "Kesha loves beef. Would you like to have steak for
Eudora frowned. She had no clue what Kesha was blabbering on about. However, it didn't mean that whatever she did was null and voided just because she herself couldn't remember. "If we're going to talk about freeloading off of the family, I think that you should be the one to be put in the spotlight. Did you even look for a job after you graduated? Where do you think you got all that money to buy your branded stuff from?" Did she really take her for a fool? She had only lost a portion of her memory, but she still remembered some of what had happened in the past! Kesha did not expect that Eudora would expose her past like that, especially when it came to talking about her going about, squandering money. She could almost see the dreaded day when Eudora would eventually tell everyone about her promiscuous past. The thought made her whimper nervously. She bit her lip to contain herself. Listening to their exchange, Steven decided that it was ti
Felicia's face contorted for a moment but a smile returned soon after. "Forget it. It's all in the past now. Let's not mention it anymore. We've already prepared dinner. Come on over and help yourselves." Gordon shook his head and said, "I'm not going to eat until Eudora comes back." "I've told you many times already. Mom will leave her some food, alright? Why do you always wait for her?" Kesha asked angrily. "No, no, that won't do. Eudora has been getting thinner recently." Eudora remembered many instances in the past when her father would tell her that he had left dinner for her at home. However, she never once laid eyes on such a meal every time she got back home. Thinking of this, she directed a glare at Kesha. It seemed that it was all Kesha's doing! Kesha avoided her penetrating glare stealthily, opting to look elsewhere so as to not draw more attention to herself. Eudora was not in the mood to argue with her. Instead, she walked
Kesha seemed to finally understand what her mother was talking about. Felicia lowered her voice and said, "To be honest, I'm not very sure of the matter either. But, I found a box when I was cleaning up your father's stuff the other day. He had always kept that box safe. Even though he had been diagnosed with dementia, he still acted strangely when he knew that I had found out about the box." Kesha said softly, "Mom, are you suspecting that the box might contain something important?" "It's possible! That year, he claimed that he was broke, but he forked out the money for Eudora to go overseas." When it came to this matter, Kesha was angry. "Mom, am I really not my father's biological daughter? I was also miserable at that time. He never gave me any money. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have gotten entangled with those people!" Fortunately, she had finally managed to pull through! Felicia frowned, "You couldn't possibly blame your father for your
The child's soft voice sounded like a lullaby. After listening for a while, Eudora eventually fell asleep under the accompaniment of Juju's sweet voice. When she fell asleep, Juju whispered to Amos. "Is Mommy asleep?" Amos nodded. He took the picture book from her hand, and read it for her. The little girl also dozed off after a while. Amos got up and covered them with a blanket. Then, he went outside with his mobile phone. He called Clint and spoke softly to him. "Check on Gordon's condition and see which hospital he is going to. Get his medical record from the hospital. Also, help me contact Doctor Leon and ask him if he knows any experts in treating dementia." Clint nodded and said, "I'll make the arrangements right away." After hanging up the phone, Amos stood on the balcony for a while and then turned back. The two princesses had fallen asleep in the room. He stood there and looked at their sleeping faces. After some time
Flirting was in his nature, wasn't it? Eudora could feel that her little heart was moved once again. As expected, she would never be able to tease him and win. ...... The next day was a weekend. When Eudora got up early in the morning and went downstairs, she was greeted with the sight of Amos and Juju gearing up. Juju, especially, was in an amusing outfit. This girl had a sassy personality ever since she was a toddler. She had not been wearing such an adorable outfit ever since she was given the toy gun. Eudora didn't expect her to wear it again. Juju spoke when she saw Eudora staring at her. "Daddy said that Grandpa likes cute little girls." Eudora looked at Amos gratefully, and Amos quickly turned his eyes to Juju, "Didn't you bring your favorite toy to play with Grandpa?" Juju nodded and immediately opened her small backpack. "Drawing block, building blocks, and my toy gun, they are all for Grandpa!" Eudo
Eudora refused to entertain Kesha. She felt that Kesha's temper had gotten even stranger after eight years. Kesha used to be a hot-tempered person in the past, and she would show her emotions on her face. However, she actually began to talk hypocritically now. It gave Eudora the creeps all over. Even Amos ignored her too. Kesha was a little pissed and she strode off after that. She rolled her eyes disdainfully as she turned around. Kesha chided in her heart, "Eudora, why the heck are you so arrogant? When Steven succeeds with his project, he will have his own new company. You and Amos won't be able to catch up by then." "I'll let you have your way for a while!" Thinking of this, Kesha's mood was finally soothed. She smiled as she entered the door. When Eudora saw that Kesha had walked into the house, she did not dare to stay outside any longer. Juju was still inside. It would be bad if Kesha were to lose her temper and hurt Juju! S
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
