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
Juju didn't expect that Sugar Bun would fail to move Eudora's heart at such a critical moment! It seemed that he needed more training. She then took out a photo of Eudora from her small bag and handed it to Sugar Bun. "Look carefully. This is Mommy, do you understand?" Sugar Ban scanned the photo with his doe eyes and reached out to take the photo. Juju's face instantly lit up with joy. "Sugar Bun, you're really awesome! Look carefully, this is..." Sugar Bun had already stuffed the photo into his mouth before she could finish her words. Juju was at a loss for words. She pulled the picture back hurriedly and looked at her brother helplessly. "Why are you so stupid?" At this moment, Amos came in from the outside. Amos wasn't in a very good mood after having lashed out at Eudora. He stood at the door and took a moment to calm himself down before walking in. Juju wanted to put the photo away immediately after seeing him. However,
The news about the engagement between Eudora and Fabian made the headlines of major newspapers the next morning. The headlines were all in large and bold font, and there was no way to ignore them. In the beginning, Eudora thought that it was Tyler who planned this, so she went to confront him furiously. Who would've thought that Tyler would be happy when he heard about it? "Malcom is truly very well-versed in the ways of the world. It's naturally better for the groom's family to announce this. It makes it seem more important!" Eudora's tone froze, "It really wasn't you?" "Obviously!" Tyler's face was full of pride. "I am your father, and you're my daughter. Why would I do such a thing? Wouldn't that mean that I have to bow my head to Malcom? Eudora didn't believe Tyler's justification. However, when he said that he didn't want to be any inferior to Malcom, she couldn't help but be convinced. She could see clearly that he and Malcom refused to s
Eudora was shocked. She struggled in a hurry and tried to open her mouth. "Don't do that. Someone might see us!" She had already told Tyler that she had nothing to do with Amos. Furthermore, she was at the gate of Holt Manor at the moment, and Fabian was calling her on the phone. He could easily trace her from her ringtone. Valiant East would not stand a chance to fight back if the Holt family or the Nolan family were to join forces in Greene City. She must never let such a thing happen. However, Amos thought that Eudora had fallen in love with Fabian, and that was why she was afraid that of being discovered by Fabian. His jealousy instantly broke all his reasoning. He pressed her down hard and used all his strength to embrace her. Perhaps, that way, Eudora would not leave him, nor would she fall in love with anyone else. Eudora's phone finally stopped ringing after a while. However, the phone rang again before Eudora could let out a sigh of relief.
