Eudora George pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She was still thinking about the way Amos Granger looked her just now. His gaze was so piercing that it sent shivers down her whole body. What does he want? Why did he ask her to go his office? She couldn't figure out what he was thinking. "I'm asking you a question, did you hear me?" Felix Meyer grabbed Eudora's collar. When he saw the hickeys on Eudora's neck, he could feel his blood boil. "Well well, Eudora George, it seems that I had underestimated you. Why did you take so long at the bathroom earlier? You're still my woman, and yet you still dare to cheat in front of me? I ought to teach you a lesson today!" Eudora sneered, "Your woman? Aren't the women of the Meyer family just objects to be exchanged for favors? Or are they solely used to attract people's attention?" "You..." Felix clenched his teeth. "You're really asking for it..." He raised his hand high and in a quick motion it a
The document was an agreement on the Phantom Group's legal acquisition of the George family's Everpeace Group. Just two days ago, the Phantom Group acquired Everpeace Group. Eudora George saw the name 'Gordon George' on the contract and remembered what her father said to her before she returned to the Meyer residence that day. "Eudora, this is the last time I assure you! As long as the George family is able to survive this crisis, I will definitely bring you back!" "Heh! What a liar!" When she flipped open the rest of the pages of document, Everpeace Group was indeed already acquired by the Phantom Group. "You still don't know, do you? The government is planning to develop Rosaville City and they were looking at building a waste-processing factory in the city. It took me some time to consider the most suitable location to build the factory, but now that I think about it, the land where the Everpeace group is built on seems to be the perfect spot..." Felix
Eudora George took a deep breath and turned the door handle. As she stepped inside, she noticed a large extravagant desk in the center of the room. The man was leaning with his back against the desk. "Mr. Granger!" Eudora spoke. "Ah! You're here." Amos Granger's voice was very calm and indifferent. On the other hand, the indifference in Amos' voice made Eudora even more nervous. "Don't be nervous. Take a seat." Amos said as he turned around to face Eudora. He was just as stunning as she had seen him yesterday. And his eyes especially. If you stare at them long enough, his watchful gaze seemed to be able to pierce through your soul. "That's alright!" Eudora placed the file on the table. "This is the Phantom Group's proposal. Please take a look." "There's no need to rush!" Amos didn't even glance at the document on the table. He walked around the table and towards Eudora. His tall stature was very intimidating as he approached her. Wi
Felix Meyer tapped his feet as he waited impatiently downstairs. He saw his wife coming out in a hurry. He quickly opened the door. "How did it go?" Eudora George threw the stack of documents into his hands. "Felix, I can't do it. Go and find someone else!" Felix's face darkened. "Eudora, are you f*cking joking with me? You were up there for so long and now you're telling me that you can't do it? Didn't you already memorise what to discuss about? Can't you do one simple thing right?" "Oh... Did you think it's as simple as just negotiating for a contract? Then why don't you go to do it yourself?" Eudora retorted. Felix glared at Eudora. "So what? It's not the first time you slept with someone anyway. Are you tossing my interests aside after you had your own fun?" "Felix!" Eudora shouted harshly. "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Nonsense? How dare you! Let's see how long you're able to continue pretending to be noble when in actual fact yo
Eudora George was locked in the room for three whole days. She was only given a mouthful of water each day and not a single sliver of food. On the third night, she was so hungry that she could hardly breathe. The door was suddenly opened and Kesha George walked in. She looked at Eudora's pathetic look and sneered. "Eudora, I heard from Brother-In-Law that you asked for a divorce. I didn't expect that you would try to cause such a big trouble?" "What are you doing here?" Eudora clenched her teeth and glared at her sister. "Do you think I really wanted to come? Father heard that you're asking for a divorce, so he sent me here to advise you." 'Heh! Advise me?' she thought. "Didn't you guys already sell Everpeace Group off? What use do I still have for you?" "Now now don't say that Eudora. I mean, it would bode well for our family if we still have someone as successful as Felix as our son and brother-in-law yes? That way we will be able to live a b
In the night club. Eudora George massaged her aching temples as she pushed the door open. It was going to be another long night. She wasn't sure how long more it was going to take for the client to finally come to an agreement. It had been more than a month since Eudora made the deal with her husband. Felix Meyer had allowed her to work in the company since. Felix had arranged Eudora to work as the manager of the business development department. While it sounded good on paper, she was the only hard-worker in the team. Every project required her to deal with the client personally, and she often needed to entertain them till late at night. But Eudora didn't mind it at all. If spending more time securing projects meant that she could get rid of Felix and the Meyer family quicker, she would gladly do it. Eudora splashed some water on her face and refreshed herself. She then stepped out of the bathroom. When she reached the entrance of the pri
The woman saw that Felix Meyer didn't seem to be very angry, so she pleaded coyly to him. "I don't want to apologize, Felix. I don't want to." "Apologize!" Felix suddenly snapped at her. The woman's hand trembled and she knew that she crossed the line. She immediately bowed to Eudora George, "I'm sorry." Eudora's lips turned into a smirk. "It doesn't matter to me how much you want play outside, but you should at least have some standards if you know what I mean. This kind of woman will only cause you trouble in the future." Eudora turned around and entered the room. The woman glared fiercely at Eudora's retreating back and turned around to Felix. "Felix, my leg hurts so much. I don't care, you have got to do something about her." Felix took a small step back and leaned on the wall. A look of disgust flashed across his eyes. He could feel his blood boil when he thought of Eudora's condescending attitude towards him earlier. She was just a
"What?" President Horace's grin grew wider. "It's nothing. We're all here for fun anyway. It's just a little pick-me-up." He reached out and grabbed Eudora George's hand. Eudora stumbled behind as she pulled her hand away. "Don't touch me." "You'd already come all the way here. Let's have some fun while we're at it." President Horace stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards her. "Didn't you want to discuss business with me? Don't worry I'll definitely sign this contract. But before that, let's have some fun shall we!" he grabbed Eudora and pinned her down on the sofa. His strength was overpowering her as Eudora struggled helplessly under his grasp. How could she even fight him, especially someone as big as him. "You beautiful thing, I missed you like crazy." "You can't do this!" Eudora struggled desperately. "You're breaking the law! I'll sue you." "Sue me?" President Horace laughed darkly, "We're here to discuss business. Besides
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
