Bethany went straight home after leaving the office in the company's car. She entered the porch and closed the gates behind her. The butler was a little confused upon her abrupt return. "Madam Hamilton, why have you come home so early today?" Bethany remained quiet. She headed upstairs, took a bath, and changed into a fresh set of clothes. The clothes were bought on the day after she and Old Master Granger were officially in a relationship. She still remembered that he had only accompanied her to go shopping because he couldn't stand the pressure from his father. Surprisingly, she could still wear it after so many years. Bethany then made her way downstairs and went straight to the chapel in the courtyard. In the chapel was Hank's tablet. She would stay there almost every day after Hank's passing. However, she had been busy dealing with Amos recently. It had been a long time since she had last came to pay him a visit. There w
Amos frowned. "It doesn't matter what you think. My father was the one who gave them to you. I'm only responsible for passing it to you!" Bethany sneered, "Stop pretending. You're just like your mother. You're both wicked people. Your mother was just a mistress, but she had taken everything that belonged to me. You, the illegitimate child, even took away everything that belonged to my son, the true heir. My entire life has been ruined by you and your mother!" Bethany was heartbroken as she shouted with all her might. All of a sudden, she kicked the lit candles from the table. As the chapel was built with wood, the entire room was engulfed in flames within seconds. Clint felt a chill in his heart and he shouted hurriedly, "President Granger." "Don't come over!" Amos said calmly. He stood there calmly and fearlessly. The police officers around him were all stunned. Even Kaylene was looking at Amos in a daze. She finally understood why Old Master
I have been thinking about giving you the compensation you deserve. I wondered if you would prefer to have the shares from Valiant East, and how much of them would be enough. After all, this is the least I could do for you. However, I thought about it over again and again after that. You have always preferred quietness and serenity. Perhaps the busy environment in the company would not be to your liking. Perhaps, it would be better to let the young people deal with the company's affairs. Amos had promised me that he would take good care of both you and Vincent. In the future, you could finally be who you want to be. The annual bonus of the shares is enough for you to do anything you want. You just need to live happily with Vincent. If there is an afterlife, I hope you could give me another chance to compensate you. If that time truly comes, I hope that I could marry you again. I will always remember the way you look and I will look forward to our meeting i
For the first time in her life, Eudora felt that she wasn't being a good citizen. She frowned and felt an urge to retreat. Leslie smiled and looked at Eudora. "Miss Eudora, don't you want to go in and have a look?" In fact, Leslie had been trying to mock Eudora from the very start. After all, Eudora was the apple of Tyler's eye. Tyler had said in front of him repeatedly that he would give the entire Holt family's properties to her in the future. Even though he felt that the lady standing in front of him was a good person, she might not necessarily be an expert in managing the Holt Family. If she looked like a good person at first sight, then others would not be intimidated by her, and it would be unlikely for her to control them at all. That was why he was trying to test Eudora. Eudora pursed her lips. Although she was not a bad person, she was not a fool. She understood the underlying meaning of Leslie's words. Since Tyler had given her such a
Amos just looked at her calmly. "Didn't you just say that you should be more polite to the guests?" Eudora was rendered speechless, and Leslie, who was next to her, had also noticed that Amos was trouble. He quickly whispered, "Miss Eudora, would you like me to ask someone to come over?" Eudora felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't possibly have Leslie call others here. What if they started a fight and hurt Amos? She had no choice but to agree to Amos' request. "Let's start then! I'm not as weak as you think I am." Amos smirked and said, "It's my honor." Leslie did not expect that Eudora would actually gamble with this man. He immediately said, "Miss Eudora, don't worry. Shall I have the croupier deal with this man instead?" Eudora didn't want Leslie to know what was going on, so she said coldly, "Do I look like I will lose?" Leslie looked at her with a polite smile on his face. Who was she kidding? He could tell at a glance that
Eudora trembled and realized that she might have been too blunt. She hurriedly added, "Didn't you say that you would definitely recover? President Granger, it seems that you couldn't go back to the way you used to be." Her words hurt a little. Jayden, who was standing behind Amos, frowned with anger. This woman was being a little too outrageous, wasn't she? However, Amos was smiling. "What do you want from me?" Jayden was taken aback. What was going on? He suddenly recalled his senior's advice. "President Granger is very quiet and reserved, so don't be a chatterbox around him. Also, he doesn't like women getting too close to him and he doesn't like to deal with women. So, you should pay more attention to it. The most important thing is, he never shows any mercy to anybody who is rude to him." "Therefore, you need to solve all these problems for Mr. Granger." Jayden thought about it while looking at Amos' warm smile. He felt that the
Leslie didn't seem to catch what she said and he merely nodded his head along. "You're right..." However, he seemed to come back to his senses at the very next second. "What did you say, Miss Eudora?" "A milkshake shop! Don't you think that it's a good idea?" Leslie was flabbergasted. "Miss Eudora... you must be joking, right?" Eudora raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like I'm joking?" She was obviously doing this on purpose! Tyler wanted her to reassume her identity as his daughter, but it seemed that she was a force to be reckoned with. She was trying to teach him a lesson for tearing her family apart and taking her happiness away/ "But, Mr. Holt... Leslie looked at Tyler again." Our casino has been there for almost 20 years!" Tyler too was dumbfounded, and he resisted the urge to curse out loud. After all, that was the very first casino he had opened ever since he left the underworld. The casino was his blood and sweat, and he had shared t
Back in the car, Eudora finally burst into tears, unable to hold it in any longer. She could picture just how sad Juju was when she asked those questions. Juju was her daughter. How could she not feel sorry for the baby she had given birth to? Eudora took out her phone and looked for the familiar number. It was the phone number of the Granger residence. She had deleted it ruthlessly when she left at that time. However, she couldn't help but added it back into her contacts again soon after. At this moment, her phone trembled in her hands and she couldn't seem to calm herself down. After a moment of hesitation, she finally dialed the number. Cindy's voice came from the other end. "Hello, who are you looking for?" Eudora opened her mouth, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat. Cindy frowned and asked again, "Hello?" Eudora scrambled to hang up the phone, but Juju's soft voice came from the other end at that moment, "Aunty Cind
