Kesha woke up early in the morning the next day. It had been two days since Fabian had asked her to gather the information. It would be hard to explain things to Fabian if she were to go back now without any results. At this moment, she heard a slight rustle coming from Amos' room. Kesha quickly composed herself and entered the room. "Amos, are you awake?" Amos hummed and looked out of the window. "It's sunny today." "Yes!" Kesha agreed. "Would you like to go out for a walk? I'll accompany you! Or, if you would like to go to the company, I could come along too!" Amos looked up at Kesha. Kesha explained hurriedly, "But it's okay if you don't want me to. It's just that I'm not busy anyway. I've been taking care of you the past few days, I just wish for you to recover quickly. Amos smiled at her. "Okay!" Kesha's heart skipped a beat. This was great. Since the information was not at home, then it must be at the company.
Kesha was dumbfounded. What was she supposed to say? She didn't know anything! However, Harley kept giving her meaningful looks. "Eudora, say something!" Amos, who was standing beside them, looked at the two of them quietly, and his gaze grew darker by the second. Kesha opened her mouth and asked, "Amos, are you angry? There's nothing between me and Harley!" Turning around, she quickly drew a clear line with Harley. "I have nothing to say. Don't you dare try to drag me down." Harley fell speechless. This was completely different from the Eudora he knew! Harley looked at her in confusion and asked, "Eudora, are you sick? Are you really that forgetful?" "Don't touch me!" Kesha slapped his hand away. Harley frowned, feeling a little frustrated. He scrutinized Kesha. It was too strange. Eudora had always been a very friendly person. Even though she had been suppressed in the Meyer Family for so many years, the friendly spirit in h
Harley was very angry after leaving Amos' room. The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. Why was Amos looking at him with those eyes? The phone rang, and Thea's gentle voice came from the other end. "Harley? Have you got off work?" The fire in Harley's heart instantly dissipated, as if it had been blown away by a spring breeze. "What's wrong? Did you miss me?" Thea laughed and said, "You're so naughty. You're already a father." "So what? If I'm too serious, how will he be getting his younger brothers and sisters in the future then?" Thea fell speechless. It seemed that the more he talked, the more outrageous he became. Thea huffed. "Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!" After a few seconds of silence, Harley then asked, "Why aren't you hanging up if you didn't want to talk to me?" Thea fell speechless yet again. Human relationships really were odd. Eudora was Amos' kryptonite, and Harley was hers.
Eudora lay on the bed, her heart unprecedentedly calm. It was the third day since she was locked up in this place. Fabian kept appearing before her over the past two days, disrupting her rest every time. Now that he was not here, she could finally think with a clear mind. She thought of the time when she was together with Amos, the rare reunion of the family of four. Eudora's lips curled into a smile. All of a sudden, a rush of footsteps could be heard coming from outside, and Callum walked quickly through the corridor. Eudora pricked up her ears and listened for a second, but she couldn't hear anything else aside from the footsteps. All of a sudden, there was a loud bang, and Eudora could sense that something was off. She climbed up from the bed hurriedly. Her limbs had been untied ever since Fabian tried to strangle her, hence, she was free to move around in her cell. She quickly took two steps towards the door, but it was kicked open before
Kesha looked at Amos' back with a cold smile. In her mind, she was thinking about the image of Steven sacrificing himself to save her. She couldn't forgive herself, but even more so, she couldn't forgive Amos. Throughout the days she was gone, she had thought she could listen to Steven's advice, to live a good life and forget everything about the past. However, no one could control their own fates. She discovered that she was terminally ill two months after leaving Rosaville City. Was this the will of God? In the blink of an eye, her expiration date was made aware to her. The only thing she could do now was to avenge Steven! She could only hope that Steven could forgive her. She would explain everything to him once she reunites with him. The attack was swift, and in a split second, Amos suddenly turned sideways, barely avoiding the blade. Clint, who had entered the room amid the commotion, came up behind Kesha and kicked the knife in her
Fabian stopped in his tracks. "What did you say?" Callum then burst into tears. Although he had been following Fabian all these years, he had actually been carefully selected by Malcom to look after Fabian. He revered Malcom. Hence, he was very sad when he learned of his death. "The old man must have been forced to death by that so-called police! We must find a way to avenge the old man!" Fabian did not reply. He stood there for a long time without responding. Did he hate Malcom before? Of course, he did. When he was a child, he hated the way he treated his mother. However, Malcom had been taking care of him after his mother left. Malcom seemed to have realized his mistakes at that time and began to take care of Fabian well. In order to take care of him, he even went out of his way and learned how to cook. Later, he even alienated the organization and trained himself to be the highly-revered elite he was now. His hatred for him
One of the most difficult things to do in this world was to stop someone who had already made up their mind. Vivian was determined to go in, and Clint could not stop her. She opened the door and walked towards Amos. Callum looked at Vivian, gritting his teeth. "You b*tch, how dare you come back after everything that you've done?" The corner of Vivian's mouth twitched. "I don't think you'd want to quarrel with me outside!" Callum was stunned for a moment. Vivian had been following him for so many years, and she had always been submissive and timid. In the past, he had always liked to have such a humble and obedient wife. It satisfied his masculine desire to conquer, but now... All of a sudden, he realized this side of her, calm and fearless, as if there was light in her eyes, capturing many's attention. Callum frowned, and allowed them in. He took the opportunity to grab Vivian's arm while she was not paying attention. "You took away my do
"It's your turn!" Fabian handed the gun to Amos. Amos looked in the direction of the sunroom. Eudora was still in a trance after being shocked by the electricity. When she finally came back to her senses, she saw that Amos was holding a gun against his temples. She subconsciously shook her head. However, Amos had pulled the trigger before she could react. There was a loud crack in the air! There was no bullet... Fabian took the gun with a smile. "You have guts. However, this game is riding on a single heartbeat. The more shots fired, the more exciting it gets. Because the risk keeps getting bigger and bigger until Death himself comes for you..." Amos frowned. The next second, Fabian shot at his own temple. As expected, there was no bullet this time around too. Amos took the gun for the second time. His eyes met Eudora's worried eyes, and he felt a stab in his heart. He looked at Fabian again and said, "If I'm right, there are no bullets 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
