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.
Fabian didn't bring Eudora anywhere. He just sent her to the milkshake shop. On the way there, Eudora spoke to him about some of her own thoughts. "You are being disrespectful. I've already told you two days ago that I haven't agreed to the engagement yet. You shouldn't have announced it to the public without my consent." Winson, the driver, was in a cold sweat as he listened. He still remembered how Eudora had punched Fabian the other day. Now, she was being so rude to him. Was she looking for trouble? However, Fabian looked apologetic and he said, "I see, I'll correct it next time." Eudora looked at him suspiciously. "You..." No matter how she looked at it, Fabian didn't seem to be an obedient person to her. However, Fabian merely smiled at her and said, "Is there anything else?" Eudora looked at his expression and became more and more hesitant. "Do you really agree with me?" "Why not? I'll just do whatever you say!" "What if we c
The team was right, but Fabian had never lost a battle since he was a child. He couldn't possibly withdraw this time and let Amos stand a chance at winning, could he? "Which one of us has the final say?" After hearing Fabian's words, the team did not dare to speak again. "I'll take care of the consequences. So don't worry," Fabian added firmly. The crowd frowned. Suddenly, Fabian's phone rang. It was Malcom's voice on the other end. "Are you bidding today?" Fabian nodded, "Yes!" "Don't participate in the bidding. I have just gotten news that the project is very troublesome. So, it's best if you don't get involved with it." Fabian frowned, "I'll check it out." After hanging up the phone, he immediately whispered to the team next to him. "Look into it immediately and find out what's going on with this project." The team was very efficient and they received all the latest news in less than five minutes. "There is a bird conservancy nex
The staff beside Fabian took the approval and looked at it. The next second, they were all stunned. "How is this possible? Why didn't we know about it?" All of a sudden, his phone rang. A few seconds after the staff answered the phone, his eyes widened and he walked over hurriedly to whisper in Fabian's ear. Fabian's face was ashen. "Amos, how awesome. You actually managed to get the news first-hand! You must have put in a lot of effort." Amos curved his lips and replied, "You're flattering me! I'm just a little more observant than the others." He had always liked to make full preparations. A few days ago before bidding for this project, he went to take a look at the surroundings of that place. He happened to meet a group of people who were talking about it casually, so he came up with a bold idea. After he went back, he ordered people to find a way to inquire about it. As the decision was still indefinite, he decided not to tell others about i
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
