In the detention room. Charlie sat inside, staring blankly and in confusion at the red marks on his hand. After leaving it for a night without treatment, the marks had already started to bruise and turn purplish-blue. Just when he was deep in his thoughts, the door opened and Amos strode in. "Charlie!" "Sir!" Charlie hurriedly stood up with a hint of joy in his eyes. But very quickly, that trace of happiness turned into raw guilt. "I'm sorry, sir. I have committed a grave mistake. Please punish me!" Amos didn't say a word and sat down opposite Charlie. "I want to know what happened." Charlie had followed him for many years, and Amos knew him very well. His performance was the most outstanding in the organization since the very beginning. Later on, he was promoted and followed beside Amos for many years. He was very careful and had never made any huge mistakes. What happened this time was too unexpected. Charlie t
Tears were a magical thing. They could be held back, but there will be no control over them once they begin to fall. Eudora held Juju in her arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. At this moment, the sadness, grievance and tiredness she had been experiencing turned into tears that flowed down her cheeks. Juju pursed their lips tightly into a straight line and looked eerily similar to Amos. Her behavior was the same as her father's. She was motionless as Eudora held her in her arms and continued to cry. The people who had been urging Eudora for favours exchanged glances with each other when they witnessed this. "No, Miss. You have to sign my agreement first..." "Get out!" Juju roared suddenly. She covered Eudora's ears while glaring at those people sharply. All of them initially assumed that Juju was no more but a six year old child. There was nothing for them to be afraid of. However, her words and glares were a reflection o
Eudora was dumbfounded and glanced around subconsciously. "Juju, tell me, who made this dish?" Juju blinked and said, "Mommy, this dish is made by... me, of course! Did you think it was Daddy? Do you miss him?" After Juju finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the half-closed door at the back. She was sure that Amos hadn't left yet and was standing behind the door. If Daddy knew that Mommy cared and missed him as much as he missed her, wouldn't the misunderstanding between them be resolved? Eudora didn't know what to say. Did she miss Amos? She should miss him, right? However, under these circumstances, she had to take over the Holt family's affairs. Notably, all the Holt family's subordinates thought that it was Amos who killed Tyler. At a time like this, she could not make any contact with Amos. "No!" Eudora shook her head and continued to eat. Amos laughed bitterly as he stood by the door. He knew that she was heartless.
Now that she had resolved the more pressing issues at hand, Eudora finally managed to get proper sleep. She was already awake by the time the servant came to call her. She saw that Juju was still sleeping soundly and helped cover her with the blanket. Then, she got up, went to the other room, and applied some make-up. Since Tyler just passed away, there wasn't a need for her to apply heavy make-up. She wore a black suit and tied her hair into a ponytail. It managed to add some elegance to herself. After getting changed, Leslie led a few men into the Holt manor's hall. As Eudora stood at the door, she could hear the loud whispers in the hall. All of them were questioning her ability and standards. Eudora took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in. The hall was huge. After Eudora entered, the whispering voices instantly dissipated. Countless pairs of eyes looked up at Eudora. If she was a normal girl, she would've been slight
Eudora was taken aback and felt that Harley's words were fishy. However, her mind was occupied with the situation happening inside now. She didn't have the mood to think about it and spoke firmly. "Mr. Louis, I am the general manager here. Now that something has happened in our hotel, I must go in and have a look. This is my right!" Harley immediately rolled his eyes and turned to the police officer, ordering, "Let them in!" After they went in, Harley called Amos on the phone. "Don't blame me for not telling you, but that d*mned woman of yours appeared again! If it wasn't because we're good brothers, I would definitely not care if she lives or dies..." Amos frowned and interrupted him directly. "Where are you?" "Holt's Hotel..." ...... When Eudora went in, she saw two negotiation experts negotiating with Shawn at a glance. Shawn was asking for an exorbitant price. Not only did he want his group's assets returned to him,
Shawn no longer believed anything Eudora said. "Are you lying to me again?" After saying that, he increased the force on the dagger that was on Eudora's neck, and a trail of blood oozed out from the wound. Everyone held their breath, and Leslie was scared out of his wits. However, Eudora seemed unfazed and was all smiles after a brief moment of nervousness. She chuckled, "Of course, I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can kill me. But if you really kill me, no one can help you!" Seeing that she was so calm, Shawn finally relaxed a little and asked, "Are you really willing to return my assets to me?" "Of course!" Eudora smiled, "Put the dagger down first. We can talk about it nicely, shall we?" Shawn frowned and gradually let down his guard. Harley took the opportunity to wave to the policemen behind him and whispered, "Be on the lookout!" As long as Shawn put down the knife, they could rush up and arrest him at once.
Complicated? Amos smiled bitterly. Why wouldn't he want to make peace with her? However, before the incident of Charlie's investigation was clear, he couldn't act rashly. It wouldn't be good if he alerted the enemy. Moreover, she probably didn't want to see him either, right? Amos frowned and asked again, "How is she?" "She's fine!" Doctor Leon replied helplessly, "It was just a scratch, and I've already helped to bandage her hand. She just needs to be careful these days to make sure she doesn't touch the wound carelessly!" Amos nodded and immediately said, "In that case, you'll be in charge of changing her dressing tomorrow." Doctor Leon was confused. He was perplexed. Didn't Amos hear him? It was just a scratch! Did he really need a professional doctor like him to change her dressing? However, Amos, this brat, was a nuisance. Fine! He'd just have to go! After all, he had something to ask Eudora anyways. Harley quickly ar
Leslie shook his head, "Mr. Holt didn't want Miss Granger to know about this!" Fabian smiled and gripped the card in his hand. He had mixed feelings. "Uncle Holt is no longer here. You should take the card back and find a chance to give it to Eudora!" Leslie did not accept it and said, "She has her own arrangements. This was Mr. Holt's instructions to me. You'd better take it!" After that, Leslie turned around and walked away. Fabian took the card and was stupefied for a while. Then, he turned around and left. After the two of them parted ways, Eudora frowned. It turned out that something had happened to the Nolan family before her father passed away. If that was the case, that night, did Fabian really follow Callum out just to reason with those people? Eudora's eyebrows were locked in a tight knot. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Hodge's voice from behind her. "The police called and requested your cooperation to make
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
