"Samuel, what are you trying to say? Are you calling me a puppet?" Samuel snickered, "Are you not aware of that? You don't need any further explanation from me, do you?" "Samuel Chilton!" Leslie gritted his teeth. Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Eudora hurriedly shouted, "Enough!" Leslie sat down and glared at Samuel angrily. "You shouldn't think that we are here to make trouble. You can take a look at the current situation of the Nolan family." Samuel was not convinced and scoffed, "That has nothing to do with us. We aren't part of the Nolan family anyways." "You..." Leslie was infuriated, "I already knew that you were a bad-tempered person. When Mr. Holt was alive, he would always ask me to tolerate your temper. After so many years, I thought that you had changed. I never expected that you have gotten even worse!" Samuel glared at Leslie and warned, "Don't go too far." "That's enough!" Eudora interrupted the
Amos was dumbfounded, so Harley shouted at him again. "Are you listening?" "Tell me, what happened?" "It's about the Nolan family. They have found new evidence proving that Charlie was the one who shot Tyler dead. Not just that, they even suspected that Charlie was acting per your instructions! I've also heard that the department has already sealed the evidence. I planned to keep this matter hush at first, but I knew that Charlie didn't have the intention to kill anyone. That's why I'm telling you about this." Amos took a deep breath and replied, "I see." "Amos, what are your thoughts on this? We have to think of a plan now. The Nolan family is about to rise again. If we continue like this, we'll just be sitting ducks!" Amos frowned. Finally, he blurted out, "Alright, I get it!" Harley was getting impatient. "I hope that you do. Otherwise, you're in grave danger this time." After a slight pause, he continued, "Why don't you go to Eudora? Make
Eudora felt some dampness on her shoulder when she was hugging Juju. Flustered, she grabbed Juju's shoulders anxiously. "I'm sorry, Mommy, but you should not have come back so late!" She had initially thought she came home slightly later than usual, but she didn't know that Juju had been waiting for a long time. Juju sniffed and said, "I tried to call you many times, and Uncle Hodge had helped me to call you several times too. Mommy, I thought that you have abandoned me." Eudora's heart tightened. "No, I would never do that. How could I?" "But everyone said that it was Daddy who hired someone to kill Grandpa. Mommy, you and Daddy are never getting back together again, right?" It seemed that she knew about this matter too! Hodge explained hastily, "I'm sorry, Miss Eudora. I did not expect Miss Juju to overhear the maids talking at the garden today. They didn't intend for this to happen..." Eudora frowned. "Go back to work!" She
There was pin-drop silence in the entire conference room once Eudora finished her sentence. Everyone stared at her with great shock, as though they couldn't believe that she had said those words. It was a norm in the company that everyone would secretly do a background check on the upcoming talent whenever a new manager was slated to take over the role. This was to understand the new manager's temper and personality. There were no exceptions this time either. Eudora's relationship with the barista was good. Hence, everyone believed that she was an easy-going person after some simple digging. They even concluded that nothing severe would happen if they were to go against her. This was also why the head of the network department had taken the initiative to replace Eudora's idea even though her instructions were clear to him. Eudora initially didn't want to make other people's lives difficult because she had just taken over the company as the new head. If it
"Harley!" Amos snapped all of a sudden and interrupted Harley's words. "I won't allow you to manipulate her feelings." Harley raised his eyebrows. "What if I had to do it?" "Then, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!" Amos replied almost instantly without a second thought. Their eyes met and the atmosphere became tense with a dangerous aura. While Clint was contemplating whether to escape from this place, Harley guffawed and looked away. "I knew it would be like this. You have always been a man who values his lover over his friend. You would definitely choose her between the both of us. Fortunately, I am used to it!" Clint was dazed. He noticed that something was amiss. Amos and Clint had the same expression and threw a pillow at him. "Stop with your nonsense." Harley sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving! It's all my fault. I knew that you would say something like that, but I didn't give up and tried to test you! Since you
Eudora wasn't being unreasonable. She was truly doing it for the Holt Family. Even a group as powerful as the Nolan Family was forced to change, let alone the Holt Family. Fortunately, the Holt Family was not being scrutinized at the moment. Otherwise, they would be in deep trouble. After a long thought, Eudora called Leslie again. "Uncle Clarke, please contact Uncle Chilton again and tell him to gather his colleagues. I'll tell everyone about it with greater details." Leslie felt helpless. It was still acceptable for him to join in Eudora's intervention, but to drag Samuel into it was a very bad idea. After all, it was known to everyone that he had an awful temper. Moreover, he had always fancied the old ways of doing things. Why would he be willing to cooperate with Eudora's way this time? "Samuel probably has a lot to deal with on his plate too, Miss Eudora. Shouldn't we talk about this matter at another time?" Eudora knew what Leslie was t
Apart from Raymond, Leslie too was also receiving multiple calls from several of his shops. They reported a sudden boost in business, and they were running out of inventory. All of a sudden, everyone became excited and joyful but overwhelmed with the sudden workload. Leslie said in a hurry, "Miss Eudora, I have to go back to tend to the situation immediately. Our inventory is running out, and I have to contact..." Eudora stopped Leslie, "Uncle Clarke, you don't have to worry about it. I have already ordered the materials that you might need yesterday. You may ask my assistant to pass the order to you." After a slight pause, she turned to face Samuel. "I've also made some plans for Uncle Chilton's hotel. There are only so many rooms in the hotel, so there's no other way to ease this situation, but I have some ideas about the services and specialties. I'll ask my assistant to send the proposal to you later. There's an open space behind the hotel. I've alread
In the blink of an eye, Vivian already drank a week's worth of milkshake in Eudora's store. On the last day, she took the initiative to greet Eudora when her milkshake was served. "If you're not busy, why don't you take a seat and have a chat with me?" Eudora sat down casually, and they began to chat. "I used to be like you. I wanted to open a small shop like this and spend the rest of my life in peace." Eudora answered without hesitation, "You're not old. You could still do it now!" "No, I wouldn't have to chance to!" Vivian pursed her lips. Eudora was puzzled, "Well, there is a will, there is a way!" Vivian did not refute her but continued to talk about herself. "I think I might have told you that I came here before. Back then, it was still a club. I forgot to tell you that I used to be a bar girl here." Eudora fell silent, and the woman chuckled again. "Do you think that people who do this line of work are cheap?" Eud
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
