Clint took the box and checked the contents. Then he said to Amos, "Yes, it's our box." "Thank you very much, Mr. Cooper." Amos stood up. Jeremy stopped him before he could leave. "Hold on!" "It's been quite a while since we last talked. Our families have always been in a good relationship. We were quite close when your brother was still alive, weren't we?" said Jeremy in a cordial tone. "What are you trying to say?" asked Amos. Jeremy didn't expect Amos to be so cold to him. He faked a smile to hide his embarrassment. "Well, you're much more capable than your uncle. Let me go straight to the point then. If we collaborate, we will definitely win over Thomas Shelby. So, let's work together! What do you think? Isn't this a much easier way to earn money?" suggested Jeremy. "I'm sorry. On behalf of Valiant East, we're not interested in that!" Amos rejected. He turned around and walked out. Jeremy snorted, "Hmph! Let's
The woman paused for a while and answered, "Miss, no one makes a kite by themselves anymore nowadays. Look, our kites are nice and they are not expensive." Eudora shook her head and was about to leave the shop. The woman quickly shouted, "But we do sell semi-finished kites. I will ask my husband to make one for you in three days." She thought about it for a while and agreed to the woman's suggestion. She wrote down her address on a piece of paper. "Can you deliver to this address once you are done?" asked Eudora. The woman nodded and promised, "Sure." Eudora went home happily. Seeing Aunt Valerie was doing house chores, Eudora changed into a set of comfy clothes and volunteered, "Let me help you!" Aunt Valerie shook her head hurriedly. "You should not do this." "What are you talking about? I've not been working at all. I'm so bored with just staying at home. Isn't it okay for me to help you a bit with th
Eudora was so happy. She ran towards Amos and gave him a kiss. But he sealed her lips with a French kiss. After that, Eudora exclaimed, "Oh, my lipstick!" She burst into laughter when she saw that Amos' lips were covered with red smears from her lipstick. They went to work separately after breakfast. She had not been to the office for nearly half a month. She felt a little nervous. TEM Inc. had changed the company's layout and decoration after the acquisition. It had a more professional vibe to it now. Eudora made her way to the top floor. The entire office was unusually quiet. The atmosphere in the company was suffocating. It was as though the company had fallen into another crisis. A chill ran down her spine. She quickly entered her office. Eudora crept toward her seat carefully in the silent office. She turned around immediately when she heard footsteps behind her. At this moment, she heard a loud pop behind her. She turned
It was quite obvious that Thomas was here for Amos. Harley stood up immediately and warned. "Thomas, this is not the place for you to do this." Thomas looked at Harley. "Yo! Is this Officer Louis? I did not do anything illegal here. I am just here to chat with my old friend. There shouldn't be a problem, right?" Harley frowned. "You know very well what kind of business you are doing. Don't provoke me." "Thank you for your advice, officer. But I am a good citizen now." Thomas looked at Amos and continued, "President Granger, you messed up two of my businesses. What are you going to do now? Are you not going to give me an explanation?" Amos replied with a faint smile on his face. "What kind of explanation are you expecting?" "Ah!" Thomas pinched one of the ladies' breasts while smiling proudly at Amos. "Why don't you become my collaborator? Who else can compete with you now in Rosaville City? Do you remember what I told you last time, that if we
A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pillar in the middle of a pitch-black room with a chain. A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask. The boy's eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this place as soon as possible. A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully. The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her. The girl's cries echoed in the basement. The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face. The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground. All of a sudden, the girl's finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him. Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything
The salesperson asked, "Do you guys still want the ring?" "Of course!" Eudora chose a ring that looked simpler and more low-key. She was going to wear it for the rest of her life. She didn't want it to be too fancy. The salesperson took the ring out from the display case. Eudora tried to put it on but unexpectedly the ring slipped off from her finger. Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She felt that something bad was going to happen. The joy that filled her heart disappeared in the blink of an eye. She mumbled, "Let's forget about it." "Miss, we can still size the ring for you. We can also ask our designer to modify it according to your preference. If you are in a hurry, we will contact the designer immediately. We will get it done by noon tomorrow..." "We will come at tomorrow noon!" Amos made the final decision. After paying the deposit, he left with Eudora. On the way back, Eudora felt inexplicably disappointed. "What's wrong?"
Amos' phone was switched off. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable." "What's wrong?" Eudora muttered. Aunt Valerie quickly added, "Sir's phone must have run out of battery. He should be back soon. Don't worry, let's wait for a while." "Okay!" Eudora nodded. She took the cake out from the fridge and put it on the table. The two of them sat down and chatted aimlessly. Cola ran over and jumped on Eudora's legs. It carefully adjusted its head to get the most comfortable spot. As time went by, Eudora became more and more anxious. She even forgot to answer Aunt Valerie when she asked her a question. She stood up out of a sudden and screamed, "Do you think something could've happened to him?" Startled, Aunt Valerie answered, "I don't think so. He has so many bodyguards to protect him. That's not possible." "That's true," Eudora whispered. However, she could not erase this possibility out of her mind.
The next day, Aunt Valerie saw Eudora sleeping on the sofa when she came. She didn't change her clothes. But, both the table and the kitchen had been cleaned up. Aunt Valerie quickly woke Eudora up. "Miss, are you okay?" Eudora shook her head and looked at the bright sunlight that shone through the windows. She asked, "Has he come back?" Aunt Valerie replied, "I'm afraid that it's gonna take a few days if Sir really went to America." That's right. She got up in a hurry and answered, "I'm going to work now." Her head was spinning as soon as she stood up. Eudora almost fell and Aunt Valerie quickly grabbed her. "You'd better take a day off. You don't look very well." "I'm fine!" Eudora answered. In the company, Christopher brought a pile of documents to Eudora. He exclaimed, "I've seen your designs. They're really well done. Let's start with this draft!" "Sure!" Eudora nodded and got up. "Then I have to go and
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
