Auntie Valerie's heart skipped a beat. She pushed open the door frantically and went in. Her daughter-in-law, Nancy, was sitting on the floor, crying at the top of her lungs, and her son was standing there pounding his head hard. Auntie Valerie panicked as she rushed in and asked. "What's going on?" When Nancy saw Auntie Valerie, she ran over desperately as though she had seen an angel. "Mom, Weldon is missing!" Auntie Valerie felt a buzz in her head, "What?" "Weldon is missing!" Auntie Valerie's son, Tom, repeated, "I went to pick him up from school today, but the school informed us that someone had already picked him up. I begged the teacher to check on the school's surveillance, but they couldn't find anything. Weldon is really missing!" Nancy cried at the top of her voice, "If anything were to happen to Weldon, I won't be able to live anymore!" Auntie Valerie was shocked. The fruits in her hands fell to the ground with a clatter.
Auntie Valerie looked at Tom and Nancy with a troubled look, "You two..." "Mom!" Tom burst into tears, "If the Madam you've mentioned is really like what the man had just said, Mr. Granger must have known about it already. Yet, he still treats her so well. Their situation couldn't be any worse than ours at this moment!" "Yes, Mr. Granger is so wealthy. He wouldn't have much problem living a wonderful life with his wife. On the other hand, we only have Weldon. If something bad were to happen to Weldon, it will be the end of our world!" In the end, Auntie Valerie eventually helped Tom and Nancy to their feet, "Fine, get up off your knees! I'll listen to both of you!" They hugged each other and cried bitterly as they stayed up all night. The next day, Auntie Valerie went to Clearwater Bay as usual. As soon as she got out of the house, it started pouring. When she was waiting for the bus, a black SUV pulled up beside her. She was surprised when she saw H
Eudora stood at the door in a daze. Just as she was rubbing her eyes, she saw Auntie Valerie standing on the stairs, looking at her. Auntie Valerie was flustered as she thought that Eudora might have overheard the conversation on the phone call. However, in the next second, Eudora gave her a big smile. "Good morning, Auntie Valerie!" Auntie Valerie sighed a breath of relief. Then, she greeted her with a smile as well, "Good morning." "Where's Amos?" Eudora asked. Eudora wasn't aware that she had become accustomed to Amos' presence all the time. The first thing she did every morning was to look for Amos, and if she didn't see him, she would ask for his whereabouts. "Mr. Granger and Mr. Louis have gone out. They said that they would be back soon. Breakfast is ready. I'll go get it for you." "Yes, thank you!" Eudora then went back to her room to wash up. By the time she was downstairs, Auntie Valerie had already prepared everything and the breakfa
Amos was very grateful that she still had such a kind and innocent heart. He did not refuse her wishes. "That's a great idea!" He would let her do anything she wanted as long as she was fine. Anxious, Eudora immediately said, "Then, I'll ask Auntie Valerie to buy some stuff. We'll bring them over later." "Let's ask Charlie to buy them instead! Auntie Valerie has a lot of work to do." Eudora nodded, "I'll look for Charlie then." After that, she left happily. After Eudora left, Amos turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Auntie Valerie had been in the kitchen ever since she left the room. Harley was standing by the door. He said hastily when he saw Amos approaching. "I've asked her already. She said that she was just a little confused for a moment just now. She said that she did not reveal much either. Could it be just a coincidence?" However, Amos didn't seem to think so. He pushed the door open and walked into the kitch
Eudora was in good spirits when they returned, and she thought of going out for a walk. However, she was held back by Amos once again. He pushed her straight to the bed. Amos played with the tips of her hair as he said, "It's your bedtime! Time to sleep." Eudora teased him playfully, "Why don't you sleep with me then?" Before she could say anything else, Amos had already started to undress. Eudora was dumbfounded. This guy really knew no bounds. At this moment, Amos had already taken her into his arms, "Sleep!" Eudora yawned. She wondered if she had gotten accustomed to sleeping at this time of the day. She closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep. It wasn't until her breathing had gradually slowed down that Amos finally let go of her. He then got up to get dressed before leaving. He went to the study and made a phone call to Harley. "How is it?" "Amos!" Harley yelled. Auntie Valerie, who was still a little worried, wa
The driver was startled by Amos' sudden tense voice. He was a little hesitant to speak. "He's... Miss Juju's classmate. The Little Master from the Granger family, Vincent." Vincent? Amos wrinkled his brows. Didn't Juju dislike Vincent in the past? Why was she hanging out with him then? However, that child had always been a wimpy kid. Therefore, Amos did not put much thought into it. He turned back to Harley, pursed his lips, and said, "Alright, you should head back now. We are probably just overthinking this!" Harley was relieved. He thanked the Heavens that nothing unfortunate had happened. ...... In Clearwater Bay. Eudora slept for a long time, and she could hear the sound of shots being fired in the yard below while she was still in a daze. She opened her eyes and slowly got up. The room was empty, and Amos was not in the room. Eudora walked to the window and took a look. Juju and a little boy were in the yard. Eudora
Eudora looked at the two children with a smile, and then at the photo carefully. At first glance, she could see herself in the photo and she was surrounded by many men. Her clothes, however, were torn. Eudora's brain was buzzing, and several bad memories began to reverberate in her mind quickly. Those creepy men and their horrible laughter appeared in her mind. She subconsciously covered her head and threw the picture away in shock. She saw the time stamp on the photo as it landed on the ground. It was dated three months ago. Wasn't that the time when she had just gotten pregnant? Eudora had a bad thought in her heart. Three months ago, it happened to be Old Master's mourning period. Amos was a very filial man. They wouldn't have done it just because he was unable to hold back his desires. Besides, Amos loved her so deeply. Hence, he would never allow others to blame her. In that case, the child probably wasn't Amos's, was it? As so
Vincent didn't know what to say as he was too nervous. He gulped again. Amos suddenly bellowed, "Tell me!" Vincent was so scared that his heart was about to stop. He quickly explained everything. Amos' eyes turned scarlet after hearing his explanation. "Did you talk about it at home last night? Did you mention that you are coming to my place today?" Vincent nodded and said, "Yes, I've told Grandma about it." Charlie, who was standing next to Amos, instantly knew that this was a well-planned trap set up by the other party. A moment ago, he saw something dropping out of Vincent's pocket on the surveillance footage. And the Madam had an emotional outburst after seeing that fallen object. In a split second, Amos had his grip on Vincent's neck, "Why? Why won't they all just leave her alone? What has she done to deserve all of this?" Vincent's neck was tightly clamped in Amos' large hands, and his face instantly turned purplish. He
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
