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
Jayden had brought in the note from outside when Amos woke up the next morning. "President Granger, this is a note left by a person called Miss Leon. Would you like to give her a call?" Amos didn't even raise his head, as though he already knew the existence of the note. "Just throw it away!" Jayden didn't know what it was about, but he did as he was told after seeing the expression on Amos' face. He wondered if he had meddled too much in President Granger's business and made him angry. Should he apologize? The next second, Amos asked him. "Do you think that I look good in this outfit?" Jayden was dumbfounded. What? Did President Granger just ask him if his outfit looked good? What was going on? Furthermore, President Granger seemed to be blushing. Was this a new concept of torture? Jayden remembered what Charlie had told him before. President Granger had always been very strict with his bodyguards. He had heard of his former
Everyone else at the banquet looked over in interest, eager to see what was happening. Eudora's heart was beating rapidly against her chest. What was Amos doing? Didn't Helen already declare war against her, confident that she could pursue Amos? Why hadn't she taken Amos away then? It was very dangerous for him to be here right now! At this moment, Eden started howling again. Not far away, Tyler and Eden's father, Bruise, were already walking toward them. Tyler immediately noticed Amos, and his eyes narrowed. In a split second, Eudora grabbed Fabian by the arm. She turned to look at Amos calmly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Granger." Amos clenched his fists in the pocket of his trousers. Tyler turned his eyes and looked at Eden, who had been causing a ruckus. "What happened here?" "Dad!" Eden immediately jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "You've got to speak up for me! I was just greeting Miss George, but I was bea
Amos did not immediately walk away after stepping out of the banquet hall. He waited outside. Not long after, he saw Eden and Bruise being thrown out of the hall. It seemed that Eden had been put to right by Tyler, as there were bruises all over his face. He was still cursing as he walked. Amos frowned and immediately called Clint. "We have a supplier from Greene City. Help me check them out." Clint was confused. "What's wrong? We have cooperated with that supplier for many years..." "Cancel it immediately!" Amos had recognized Bruise the moment he saw him. However, Bruise seemed to be completely focused on his son, so he did not recognize him. Since they dared to bully his woman, Amos did not see the necessity to continue working with them. Clint asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with this supplier?" As the company's special assistant, it was a big deal if something had happened to the supplier. It would be a negl
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
