"Since you've said so, let's just settle this matter right here, right now. There will be a lucky day next week, so let's just set it on that day. I will go back and let Fabian know about it. We shall contact you later!" Malcom then stood up from his seat. After taking two steps, Tyler quickly pointed at Malcom's milkshake and said, "Didn't you say that you are still young? Why aren't you drinking your milkshake? Or were you lying about you being a young man?" Malcom licked his tongue subconsciously. The sweet taste of the milkshake was really not to his liking. However, he did not want to show any sort of weakness in front of Tyler. So, he looked back with a smile. "Why would I lie to you? Of course I like it. I just forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me about it, Tyler!" Meanwhile, Tyler slowly took a sip of his milkshake. He smiled and remained quiet. Once Malcom left, Tyler stuck his tongue out and swallowed the milkshake in his mouth wi
Tina immediately got anxious. "Eudora, we can't go there. Why don't we go to the swings?" Eudora's curiosity was instantly aroused, and she was unwilling to back down. "Just look at how nervous you are. Tell me, what's there to hide?" From Eudora's point of view, there were many shady businesses in the Holt family, so they must be hiding something there. However, Tina quickly covered her mouth and hushed her, "Don't talk nonsense! Dad will be angry if he hears you!" Eudora became even more confused. "But why?" "Actually..." Tina looked troubled and she hesitated for a while. Then, she explained, "To be honest, I have never personally seen it, but I did hear people say that the house is filled with things and portraits of the woman Dad likes. Once, there was a new worker who did not know about this unspoken rule and accidentally entered the house. Dad was extremely angry at her. So, I think that we should just forget about it!" The woman Tyler l
Tina couldn't understand, thus she inquired, "Eudora, I could tell that Dad is really coercing you. If that's the case, why wouldn't you want President Granger to come and save you?" Eudora did not know the best way to explain. Could she just tell Tina that she did not want to implicate Amos into this? Or should she say that the Granger family had problems of their own at the moment too? It was too difficult to reveal these, and she thought that there was no point in telling Tina about them. Hence, Eudora said nonchalantly, "It's not what you think it is. Just forget about it, alright? Promise me that you wouldn't tell anyone about this. If you say it, then don't regard me as your sister ever again." Eudora was a role model to Tina, and she could not accept the fact that she was about to sever ties with her. Tina immediately shook her head and assured her, "I won't reveal anything, not a single word." "That's good. You'd better get out of here quickl
Then, Hodge paused for a moment. Eudora held her breath and asked instinctively, "What happened after that?" "After that..." Hodge sighed heavily. "After that, Mr. Holt took three bullets from the boss. His life was on the line. In the end, it was Mr. Nolan who saved Mr. Holt. He received treatment for half a year before he could be considered healed." Unfortunately, not long after Mr. Holt's disappearance, Madam Emily found out that she was pregnant. So, she accepted her family's arrangement to be with another man..." Eudora frowned. "Another man? Was that..." Hodge nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right. It was precisely the man on your mind." Eudora gawked at Hodge in utter shock. She felt as though her mind was overloaded and she couldn't process the information quickly enough. "You're lying to me!" Eudora said in disbelief. Hodge smiled calmly and responded, "Miss Eudora, you entered that small house the other day, didn't you?
Juju had been by her side since birth, and they had never been separated for such a long time before. Sugar Bun was even more pitiable. As he was born prematurely, he had to be kept in an incubator all this time. Up until this very day, Eudora had never met him, much less holding him in her arms. "How is Sugar Bun doing?" Eudora asked tentatively. She was afraid that she would not be able to stay calm if anything were to happen to her precious baby. However, she couldn't control herself and voiced her concern in the end. After all, that was her son! "He's doing very well!" Tina's tone was quite relaxed. It did not sound like she was lying. "He may have been delivered prematurely, but he has grown fairly quickly. He's just like you, energetic and full of vitality. He just came out of the incubator the last time I visited, and he is as healthy as all the other babies around his age. President Granger has put in a lot of effort too. He even hired a professional bab
Eudora frowned, but she wasn't in the mood to be angry with Fabian during this moment. She simply replied, "Thank you!" Fabian did not intend to let her go. Instead, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her forward. "Isn't that Amos? Since we are acquaintances, we should greet him..." Eudora's heart trembled, and she resisted subconsciously. "Fabian, you..." "Mr. Granger!" Fabian had already yelled for Amos. "What a coincidence!" Amos looked over from the crowd upon hearing his name being called. Eudora wished that at that moment, she was like a speck of dust, buried among the sand. She didn't want Amos to see her, and she didn't want Juju to see her together with another man. However, that was all ruined by Fabian, that b*stard. Once again, she made herself look like an irresponsible mother in front of Juju. Surely enough, Juju let go of Amos' hand and came running over as soon as she saw her, "Mommy..." However, when
Eudora had gotten off at the city, and she could have taken a taxi back. However, all of a sudden, she didn't know where to go. She used to live a very fulfilling life when she was still with Amos. Even though she had to go to work every day, she would still look forward to the moment when she could go home to see Amos and her children after work. However, at this very moment, she suddenly did not know where her home was. Although the Holt Manor might look magnificent, that place was not home for her. With a father who didn't care about his daughter's wishes and eager to tear her family apart, what kind of home was that? She wandered aimlessly on the street, thinking about the scene at the airport earlier where she met Sugar Bun and Juju. She had always thought that she had made up her mind, and that she was cruel enough. However, after seeing Juju and Sugar Bun just now, she realized that she still couldn't be ruthless. They were her fle
When Eudora woke up again, she found that she had no strength at all. It felt as though she was stepping on cotton. She stretched her hand out to touch her throbbing head. She pressed against her temple and lay there, recalling what had happened before she fainted. She was already feeling a little dizzy when she got out of Amos' car. However, she wanted to escape as soon as possible at that moment, so she didn't think too much about it. However, after taking a few steps, she realized that she couldn't stand up anymore. She walked a few steps forward, trying to hold on to the wall on the side of the road. However, her vision blacked out before she could even walk over. She seemed to have heard Juju and Amos' anxious voices the moment before she lost her consciousness. Eudora reached out and patted her own head. "It must've been an illusion. Amos and Juju hated me so much. Why would they come back for me?" At this very moment, someone pushed the
