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
Amos nodded, "You're right. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up then." Eudora finally compromised and nodded helplessly, "I'll do as you say, alright?" "Good girl!" He flashed a wide smile. She had initially thought that he was joking. However, he really did drive her to the hospital after she got up the next morning. She wore a helpless expression on her face as she said, "I'm already much better. Can't you tell?" He shook his head and said, "I don't believe you. I will not be at ease unless I see it for myself." It seemed that there was no changing his mind, so she had no choice but to do as he said. On the way, Eudora soon felt sleepy. She had been feeling under the weather recently. For some reason, drowsiness hit her easily even without doing much in the morning. She simply reclined the passenger's seat and closed her eyes to rest. Amos reached out to check the air conditioner in the car and then raised the temper
"Look at you. We are a family. Why are you kneeling like this? Get up quickly." Steven stood up and cast an expectant look at Bethany. She smiled at him and said, "Sit down! You are still the President after all. If someone sees you in such a mess, they will think that I have done something to you!" He looked at Bethany's smiling face. For the first time, he felt that this old woman in front of him, who seemed like a good-for-nothing, was actually very terrifying. She could ferret out people's fear from the bottom of their hearts. He always felt that her heart was like the roots of a hundred-year-old tree, complicated and unpredictable. "You have two choices now," Bethany said, "The first one is to be fired from the company. Everything you have done will be exposed to the public and your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life!" Steven's face sank, "No, Aunt Bethany, please don't fire me." He would have nothing without Valiant East.
Steven's heart was in turmoil. When his phone rang, he simply ignored it. "President Granger, Miss George is calling you," the assistant reminded him eventually. Slowly, he started to come back to his senses. Kesha had been the one to solve his previous crises. Could she still solve his problem this time around? With that in mind, he quickly picked up the call. "Kesha, where have you been?" Hearing his voice, Kesha calmed down a little. She knew that he wouldn't leave her hanging! With her anxiety momentarily abated, she let out of huge breath and started to speak. "You seem to be in a bad mood from what I've gathered before... What's the matter?" Puzzled, Steven paused to scroll through his call history. Sure enough, he had made a phone call just now. He must have accidentally dialed her number. Well, he might as well be out with it in that case. "You must've heard what I said just now, right? We're doomed, Kesha." Her h
Looking at the woman in front of him who was close to tears, the doctor was instantly concerned. "What's the matter?" "Here's the thing. Look, that's my sister and my brother-in-law..." Kesha pointed to the two people in front of her, "Don't they look happy?" The doctor nodded, "They do..." "You know, my sister... Just three months ago, something happened to my sister and she was..." Kesha trailed off. The doctor had already understood without her having to finish her sentence. His face instantly morphed into one of complete sympathy. "That's really sad to hear!" "According to the time that you've provided, my sister's child likely belongs to the offender..." "Is that so?" The doctor asked, mouth wide from shock. Kesha nodded as she rubbed her eyes, "Yes, it really is a huge shame. Because of that incident, my sister had lost her memory from the trauma and my brother-in-law has been worrying about everything ever since. I feel so bad for
Although Amos hadn't told him much about what had happened to Eudora last time, Doctor Leon was an experienced professional, so he had his guesses. According to the gynecologist's description of the pregnancy, it must mean that the child... He felt a bit overwhelmed at the thought. He didn't know what to say. He stood motionless for a long while before finally letting himself in. Amos was standing by the window in the room. The bright light that was glaring through the windows and onto his figure made him look like a desolate shadow. Doctor Leon took small steps as he approached him and started to speak. "Perhaps, I could strike up some sort of deal with my friend. Do you want to terminate the pregnancy while it is still in its early stages?" Amos froze. His tall, brooding figure heaved out a heavy sigh before he could get his words out. "I'll think about it..." Doctor Leon nodded in understanding. He knew how Amos felt at
In the evening, Auntie Valerie had prepared some brussels sprouts salad and honey pork ribs at Eudora's request. As she set the table, she asked curiously, "Miss Eudora, your appetite has become very strange recently. Didn't you use to hate the taste of brussels sprouts?" "Yeah, I think that it's weird too. My taste buds have changed for some reason..." She said, equally puzzled. "Miss George, could it be that you're.." Auntie Valerie started. "Auntie Valerie, you can serve the dishes now," Amos interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Auntie Valerie seemed to have read the room, so she kept herself quiet after that. Eudora, on the other hand, had a great dinner. After dinner, she started to list down her requests for tomorrow's meals. Auntie Valerie indulged her and took down notes, her eyes drifting to Amos momentarily. Catching her eyes, Eudora assumed that Auntie Valerie might have been worried about Amos not liking the dishe
Eudora was taken aback by Felicia's sudden question. "Why makes you say that?" "When you were feeling unwell at home the other day, I already thought that you might be pregnant. I've had a similar experience when I was pregnant as well. Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? If you're pregnant, don't drag it out too long. You should get to the hospital as soon as possible! You better take better care of yourself in case you really are!" Felicia smiled gently as she said. When Eudora heard her reply, she asked casually. "What exactly are the symptoms of pregnancy?" Felicia burst into laughter and said, "My dear! Haven't you been pregnant? Don't you know?" Eudora stayed silent a long while. Taking her silence as a plea for help, Felicia hurriedly answered her. "Well, some common symptoms would be that you'll get really sleepy and your stomach might feel really unwell sometimes. You'll often feel hungry as well!" Eudora had all these
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
