David had indeed neglected a few things when he took on the project. Doing real estate in Greene City was, in fact, just something that came out at the spur of the moment. After that, he was happy to have some free time ever since the Holt Family took over the business. Following Amos' advice, he realized that the position their company was in at that moment was quite dangerous. If the Holt Family were truly given a chance to revamp it, then it would be a huge trap in the future. David frowned, "D*mn it. When I find out those who are trying to frame me, I definitely wouldn't let them off!" Clint, who was standing by the side, stretched his head out to peer at the contract, "Isn't this beside the Nolan Family's project?" David was taken back. "Is it the Nolan Family?" If something were to happen to the project, then the Nolan Family would be the only one that could monopolize such a huge project. In the future, it would be the Nolan Family that would
Amos looked into the Nolan family's project once he got back. He concluded that the Nolan family's project wasn't just a coincidence. Perhaps Fabian had started planning for it a long time ago when David was still in the midst of taking over the project. Amos frowned. Clint knocked on the door and entered the office. "President Granger, Mr. Nolan would like to make an appointment with you." Speak of the devil. "When?" "Now, actually," Clint replied, "He is currently downstairs with his assistant!" "They've already come knocking on our door, so what appointment are you talking about?" Amos closed the file in his hand. "Bring them in!" Fabian entered the office with his assistant shortly after and stood before Amos. The two of them did not say anything, and their gazes met for a few seconds. Amos was first to speak, "Mr. Nolan, may I know what's your purpose of coming here today?" Fabian smiled. "President Granger, your question
TEM Company had always been a mysterious existence for the outside world. They were founded in Country M and they had expanded to multiple countries within two years. Even in the recent international market, they had always been invincible. There was a saying that TEM Company would only move forward, never backward. It was also rumored that anyone who made a mistake in TEM Company would be severely punished. The one who made the mistake must be punished so that everyone else would remember the lesson. Under such iron-fisted management, TEM Company's leaders took every step with caution so that they would not lose. Of course, TEM Company was no longer what it used to be. They could afford to make mistakes back then. Even if that were to happen, they would only need to plan for a comeback instead of backing out. That was the reason why that piece of news had attracted the attention of many. "What on earth is going on?" Eudora asked. T
In the spacious and bright conference room in TEM Company's Greene City branch, after playing the video about their announcement to end their operations and subsequent withdrawal from Greene City, David was about to rise from his seat, but Amos pressed his shoulders down. "This is my responsibility. According to the company's regulations, I should be the one receiving the punishment!" After that, he glanced at Clint and ordered, "Bring in the whip!" Clint hesitated for a moment and said, "President Granger, you haven't recovered from your previous injuries!" Amos chuckled, "It's alright. As a leader, I knew that it was wrong, and I still did it. Therefore, I should be punished..." "President Granger..." Clint wanted to speak further, but Amos interrupted him. "What are you dawdling for?" Clint had no choice but to obey and take the whip. That whip actually had its own history. There were managers who were arrogant and abused their powers when T
"President Granger," Clint said worriedly. "You can't drink..." The directors had drunk a lot. With the addition of Amos being polite to them, they started to relax as well. "Are you're treating us as outsiders, Assistant Zuckerberg? We're friends with President Granger, and we're going to work with each other in the future! If you can't even give us some leeway, why should we cooperate with you then?" Clint replied, "I'll drink for President Granger then." The men's faces suddenly darkened. "We all drink for ourselves. Why is President Granger getting special treatment then?" "That's right. Is he looking down on us?" "But..." Clint was about to explain, but Amos interrupted him, "Clint, stop." He then turned around and looked at the men. "My assistant is still inexperienced. I apologize for the disrespect. Please don't take it to heart!" After that, he picked up his glass and downed it. That movement opened up the wounds on h
Fabian was planning to plant a goodbye kiss on Eudora's forehead, but he didn't expect that she would dodge at the very last second. His arms stiffened slightly before he chuckled. "You don't have to thank me from now onwards. Take the flowers. See you tomorrow!" Eudora reached out for the bouquet and said, "See you tomorrow!" She breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the roses in her hand after the car drove away. Weren't the flowers supposed to be endearing and lovely? Why did she feel that they were offensive instead? At this moment, Juju's voice rang out from behind her. "Mommy, you're back!" Eudora turned around and pulled the little girl into her embrace, "Have you had your dinner?" "Yes!" Juju nodded. "Uncle Hodge got the kitchen to cook lasagna today! But it's still not as delicious as yours, Mommy." Eudora used to cook often, but she didn't have time for that ever since she took over the Holt family's business. "I
Doctor Leon was applying medicine on Amos when the latter exclaimed, "Get me a formal suit!" Doctor Leon frowned and asked, "Why are you still wearing that with this injury of yours? Are you not afraid that you'd make it worse?" However, Amos merely ignored him. He ended up wearing the same type of clothes as Sugar Bun, those that Eudora had bought for them when she was still there. Before Sugar Bun was born, Eudora had planned to have both of them wear a matching set of clothes in the future. After some hustle and bustle, both Amos and Sugar Bun went out glamorously. Doctor Leon thought of his infatuated daughter and couldn't help shaking his head. Everyone seemed to have their own weaknesses! Helen was destined to be unable to get a man like Amos! ...... In Holt's residence, Eudora had just finished preparing lunch when Hodge came in with Amos and Sugar Bun. Sugar Bun seemed to have put on some weight. He was so cute that people
The children were already very tired when Amos brought them back, so they fell asleep soon after. Amos put them to bed and went to call Wesley. "Take the children back to Rosaville City. Don't let them watch the news." Wesley was stupefied. "Mr. Granger, did something happen? Why don't I stay here? Charlie, he..." "There's no need for that! I'll take care of Charlie. I'll leave the children to you. You must take good care of them, okay?" Wesley nodded, "Okay, I will make the necessary arrangements immediately and take them away before Miss Juju wakes up." It wasn't until Wesley left that Amos finally gave Clint a call. "Have you settled Charlie down?" "It's done!" "Bring me there!" ...... In the suburbs of Greene City was a small and clean villa. Amos saw Charlie lying on the bed with a pale face as soon as he entered the villa. Charlie struggled to get up once he saw Amos, but Amos held him down instead. "Do
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
