Eudora made a phone call to Amos straight away. At this moment, Amos had brought Clint over to the construction site. A staff was explaining the situation to them at the swamp near the construction site. However, Amos seemed visibly displeased, and the employees were trembling with fear. They didn't know what to do. All of a sudden, the phone rang. Everyone's heart thumped violently in that instant. Who on earth did not turn off his mobile phone while President Granger was giving instructions at work? At this moment, Amos waved his hand, indicating to pause the meeting. He apologized, "Sorry, I have to answer a phone call." Everyone was confused. The person-in-charge of the project was Karen Lance, who had been recommended by Andrew. Karen was a senior project manager of the Valiant East and she had handled a lot of projects under Amos's leadership. Because of her outstanding abilities, she was slated to be the next general manager
Kesha went out later in the evening after Steven left her apartment. The apartment was filled with Steven's scent, which made her feel even more disgusted. Why did she fall in love with a man like him back then? He was such a good-for-nothing! Kesha drove all the way down the city idly. She realized that she had arrived at Valiant East when she came back to her senses. Kesha looked up to the highest floor of the building. Thinking of the person whom she longed for, a trace of enthusiasm surged from her heart gradually. At this moment, she heard a voice coming from behind her. "Hello, President Granger!" Kesha looked in the direction of the voice and saw Amos coming out of the building. He was wearing a dark business suit, with sculpturesque facial features. He exuded a cold yet elegant aura. Both of them were from the Granger family. Steven was a good-looking man compared to others. However, he was nowhere near Amos'. Especially Amo
The staff in the dessert shop immediately became enthusiastic when she saw a handsome man walking in. However, she was frightened by the man's imposing aura, which made him seem unapproachable. She didn't dare to move. Amos marched to the display counter and asked about the ingredients in each cake. He eventually chose a gluten-free cake and said, "Wrap it up!" The staff looked envious, "Sir, are you buying this for your girlfriend?" Amos was never one to answer such trivial questions. However, since the other party had mentioned his girlfriend, he then simply answered, "No, she's my wife. She's pregnant and she loves dessert." The staff seemed to be disappointed. Clint, who was standing at the side, almost burst out in laughter. President Granger was even willing to reveal his wife's pregnancy just to fight off unwarranted attention. Perhaps he should just stick a note on his face and write these words on it Amos Granger belongs to Eudor
Harley thought that there was no one else inside the private room. Therefore, he lay on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone the moment he stepped into the room. His phone started ringing a short while later. He picked it up. "Yes?" It was his colleague, a young girl in her early twenties. She was good at her work, thus everyone in the team treated her like a younger sister. The connection in the private room was not very great. Hence, Harley turned on speaker mode. The sweet voice of the little girl soon came from the other end of the phone, "Harley, they told me that you went out with some girl today! Is that true? I'm so sad!" Their team members would usually joke around like this. Harley answered nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I won't forget you even if I were to go out with other girls!" Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Harley thought that someone was coming in, hence he turned off speaker mode, "Can I
The couples, who were being lovey-dovey just a moment ago, were all stunned. Thea got up quickly and rushed to the bathroom. Harley got up and instinctively thought of going after her. However, when he saw that she had gone into the female bathroom, he couldn't do anything but stand in the same spot. Eudora got up quickly and went after Thea. Harley then took a look around the room, "You're showing off too much of your affection. You have pissed her off so much that she vomited." Christopher was speechless. Amos's eyes dimmed. It seemed that he had thought of something. ...... In the bathroom, Thea felt a little better after vomiting. Eudora handed her some purified water, "Here, rinse your mouth." "Thank you," Thea took the cup. Once color returned to her cheeks, Eudora looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you pregnant?" Thea's face turned pale. "I... " "It's okay. It's fine if you don't want to talk a
Thea's lips shivered. She used to be a confident and tough woman in front of Harley. However, it felt as though she had lost all her confidence ever since she had this child. Because of her own mistake, she had now become inferior to others. Now, she had a child in her belly, and she didn't even know who the father of the baby was. The more she thought about it, the more tongue-tied she became. She finally answered nonchalantly after a long while, "He is very busy. He isn't as good as you are, Officer Louis." Thea soon hailed a taxi. She got into the car and left promptly. Harley watched as the taxi slowly drove away. His mind was filled with her words. Why did she still choose that b*stard over him when she clearly knew that he was the better choice? She used to be so arrogant, yet she had become like this because of that b*stard. He was so furious when he saw how yielding and soft-spoken she had become. Harley couldn't help but ki
Harley had already decided not to get involved in Thea's life anymore. However, it seemed that fate had brought them together once again. He didn't expect to see Thea when he was on his way to attend a colleague's call for assistance. He saw her being kicked just as he arrived at the door. That kick felt like a heavy hammer slamming into his heart with a bang. It was excruciating. His head was buzzing. Harley couldn't care less anymore as he rushed into the booth. Finley grabbed a fistful of Thea's hair after kicking her to the ground. All of sudden, he felt a punch on his face. He stumbled backward, head spinning. He yelled, "Who hit me?" The next second, Harley threw his police identification card at Finley, saying, "I was the one who hit you. Come and take revenge on me if you want!" After that, Harley punched and kicked him before he could even react. He didn't hold back at all. It was his colleagues who rushed into the bar in the end and h
Harley could feel his whole person falling apart from within. He finally nodded after a long while and squeezed out a single word, "Congratulations." Tears welled in Thea's eyes. She turned her head away quickly. "Sorry, I'm feeling a little tired. I'll take a rest first. I'm sorry for interrupting your work." Harley didn't have any energy left to speak with her. He turned away dejectedly and walked out of the ward slowly. Thea got up from the bed quickly after she heard the door closing. She burst into tears as she looked in the direction where Harley had left. She regretted being so impulsive back then. Perhaps things would have ended differently if she had been more straightforward and braver back then in telling her true feelings to him. ...... Eudora was worried about Thea, so she made a call to her right after arriving home. Thea did not have much else to say since Eudora already knew that she was pregnant. She assured h
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
