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
The representative from the organizer turned into a complete bootlicker immediately when he saw Amos. He flooded Amos with all kinds of compliments. Eudora was sick of seeing him. Amos, on the other hand, didn't utter a single word, keeping his cool. For some reason, Eudora recalled his look while he was on the bed... Christopher, who was standing beside her, whispered, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Eudora's cheeks turned red. She quickly shook her head and replied, "Nothing." The meeting began. The organizers wanted to see the design from Amos' side first. In fact, Eudora wanted to see theirs too. His company was way stronger and she was not going to underestimate them. Without surprise, their design indeed looked a lot more sophisticated. However, Eudora was a little disappointed as none of their designs were based on a European style. She would not have a chance to compete with them on the same ground then. The represe
Eudora George wanted to buy a watch initially. However, watches were luxury goods and Eudora didn't have much money. Also, Amos Granger already had all kinds of watches. Therefore, Eudora felt it was not suitable to buy a watch for him as a gift. After thinking about it for a while, Eudora finally decided to buy a tie instead. Eudora loved the grey checkered tie because the design was not too fancy and looked sophisticated. Without wasting much time, she said to the shop assistant, "I am buying this tie. Please help me to wrap it up!" Eudora had just finished talking when all of a sudden, someone grabbed the tie away. The person said, "I want to buy this tie." It could only be Samantha Cooper who would behave in such a provocative way. Eudora frowned and said, "Well, I've already told the shop assistant that I am buying this tie!" The shop assistant, who was standing next to them, reminded Samantha kindly, "What she said is right.&quo
Amos Granger did not answer Harley Louis. Suddenly, another phone call came in and Amos ended his call with Harley. The phone call was from Clint Zuckerberg. Clint wanted to report to him that the car had been sent for repair. "It's really horrible. Miss George would definitely suffer from serious injuries if the car were to hit the pillar a little harder." Upon hearing this, Amos narrowed his eyes and said, "Please help me to do one thing." After hanging up the phone, Amos sat on the chair quietly for a while. Then, he got up, stubbed out his cigarette, and returned to the room. Eudora had not fallen asleep yet. She was looking intently at the design blueprints on the laptop. Amos frowned when he saw this. He walked over and grabbed the laptop in her hand. "It's time for you to rest," Amos said. "I'm not sleepy," Eudora protested. She had just looked at the case for a while. "Can I look at it for another five minutes? Just five
Amos Granger took Eudora George to a French restaurant. After sitting down, Eudora couldn't help but rant to Amos. "Hey! Have you read the newspaper in the morning? Is this why you don't like Samantha?" Eudora asked. She teased Amos but her eyes lightened up with a smile. This little woman was bold enough to tease him now, Amos thought. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Just because of this, you're happy? Well, I guess you'll be happier later." "Is there any other good news?" Eudora asked happily. While Eudora was talking, the door of the restaurant was pushed open violently. Samantha Cooper entered the restaurant unhappily and walked towards them. Eudora was stunned. "What is she doing here?" Samantha was standing in front of her before she could even finish her sentence. She looked even worse than the day before. Samantha stood in front of them without saying anything. Eudora couldn't figure out what she was going to do! The servant
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
