Judging from the situation, it seemed that the two of them must have quarreled. Amos, who was known to attach great importance to relationships, wouldn't have the time to interfere with them this time around. Only he and Bethany would be left to fight the next day. Steven was not worried that Bethany had received the support of those old men in the company. After all, those old men valued profit above all else. He would be able to bring a continuous flow of reputation and profits to the company if he could secure the collaboration with TAG Group. Those old men could then clearly discern who would be the better fit between the two of them. Thinking of this, Steven couldn't help but ask, "Kesha, did you say that TAG Group could only get the contract signed with us tomorrow afternoon?" "That's right!" Kesha replied. She was extremely delighted. Truth be told, she had only managed to accomplish the mission thanks to her good sister, Eudora, this time.
Upstairs, Eudora began working on her design model as soon she turned on her laptop. At this moment, she noticed a message in her email. She hadn't used the laptop for a long time, hence she didn't know when the message was sent. She clicked on it and found that it was sent four days ago! The sender would have been extremely anxious if the matter was urgent, wouldn't they? Eudora looked at the sender's name. After glancing at it, she immediately grew excited. She couldn't believe that it came from the TAG Group! TAG Group had contacted her, saying that they were ready to build a resort town in the country and that they wanted her to be the chief designer. They said that they had seen her show as well as some of her designs in Italy before. They also mentioned that her designs were very fairytale-like, which was very in line with their theme. Eudora was so happy that she almost danced in her seat. She jumped up from her seat in excitement.
The other party was extremely thrilled. They said that they had been very excited after getting her contact information the night before. They had thought of contacting her immediately, but they were afraid that she had already slept, so they'd waited to contact her the next morning instead. Eudora didn't quite understand how they had gotten her contact information the night before. The email that she had sent had nothing of the sort. However, she could care less about it at this moment. After all, this was probably the happiest moment of her life right now! "It's an honor to be hired by your company. When are we going to sign the contract?" The other party was startled and he asked in return, "Didn't we already make an appointment to sign the contract later in the evening? Is it not convenient for you, Miss George?" Eudora was also stunned. She asked, "Did you make an appointment with me?" "Oh, not exactly. We've made an appointment with you through
On the top floor of the Valiant East, the board meeting had started at 8 a.m. Bethany led Steven into the meeting room confidently and sat down in their corresponding seats. Bethany provided a summary of the company's performance and its overall financial situation of the quarter at the beginning of the board meeting. None of these statistics were good. It was evident that she had planned this for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have been confident the moment she stepped into the meeting. She looked amiable and suggested that Steven explain the drop in financial revenue and progress. She had made a deal with Steven in advance, in which the latter would give up the position on his own. Steven nodded and then stood up. "Thank you very much for attending the meeting. I just took over the company last quarter and I have not done a good job of developing the company. I'm indeed at fault for all these. Hence, I'll apologize to everyone here rig
Didn't they already settle on a collaboration? How was it possible that the contract had already been announced? Those who were on Steven's side began to turn their backs on him again. "President Granger, you're not lying to us, are you?" Steven was extremely annoyed. He immediately looked at his assistant and instructed, "Call them and get me an explanation on this matter." The assistant immediately left the room. He came back after a short while and nodded at Steven, reporting, "The news has been confirmed. The TAG Group has indeed signed the contract." Bethany suppressed the urge to laugh, "Steven, you shouldn't have lied. I understand that you wish to contribute to the company. This mentality is worthy of praise, but your methods are inappropriate. We are all your elders here, how could you lie to us?" Those who had been trying to curry favor with Steven a while ago all turned their backs and began to condemn him after hearing what Bethany
In the end, Bethany was elected unanimously to become the next Chairman of Valiant East. She felt as though she was in a dream. She couldn't believe that she had succeeded just like that. Steven was stupefied and he couldn't seem to understand what was happening at this moment. At first, he thought that they were in cahoots, but it was evident that the two of them were at each other's necks as soon as they met. Now that he was certain that they were not a team, they had suddenly joined forces once again. However, things were far from over. At this moment, the board of directors began to discuss the best candidates to become the next President. Andrew said immediately, "It is up to everyone here to choose the best candidate to become the next President for Valiant East. Amos, you haven't been in the company for a long time. I'm afraid that you don't know much about the matters here..." Amos had long known that they would behave in such a way.
Amos had initially planned to watch Eudora from afar, but she immediately became distracted when it came to the work that she was passionate about. He had just answered a phone call when she almost fell to the ground. Amos' eyes widened in shock, his heart already in his throat. Fortunately, he managed to hold her in a nick of time. In the next second, he had already picked Eudora up despite her opposition. There were a few other designer teams at the land at that moment. They immediately turned to look after hearing the commotion. Eudora was embarrassed and she said, "Put me down right now!" Amos frowned, "I'm not putting you down. It's either you go back with me now or let me carry you around. I'll carry you to wherever you want to go." Eudora was speechless. She replied, "I can walk on my own." "You almost fell just a moment ago!" Amos said. He was almost scared out of his wits. In the end, Eudora had no choice but to acquiesce.
Eudora went to take a bath later that night. She realized that her legs were swollen after taking off her clothes. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she had been sitting in front of the laptop for too long. She knew that Amos would restrict her freedom if he got to know about it, hence she tried her best to conceal it. Eudora changed into her pajamas, coupled with a pair of trousers. When she came out, Amos frowned. "Why are you wearing long pants? Didn't you say that you were feeling quite warm for the past few days?" Indeed, Eudora had become sensitive to warm temperatures ever since she had gotten pregnant. She would often wake up in the middle of the night because the room was too warm. Hence, Amos purchased silk pajamas to combat this problem. Eudora shook her head hastily, saying, "It's not that hot tonight. I'm fine." She immediately climbed onto the bed after that, "I'm going to sleep now!" Amos looked at her quietly. 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
