Mark fell onto the ground. His cell phone rang again, showing the same caller number as before. With trembling fingers, he tried to press the reject button but accidentally answered it instead. A vicious voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He said, "Mark, how dare you try to bluff me? I won't let you get away with this!" He quickly threw away his phone and turned to run outside. Eudora came after him, saying, "Stop! Where's Amos? Keep your promise. We won, so return Amos to me!" Mark glared coldly at her and said, "Amos? Sure! I'll return him to you." He turned to look at the assistant right behind him, asking, "Tell us, where is Amos?" Joe quickly replied, "He is in the basement of the Valiant East Group..." Clint was startled. He asked, "How could that be? Since when did someone enter the basement?" Joe showed him footage from the surveillance camera. Mark explained, "Don't you understand? We slipped him in when none of
Even in such a situation, Amos maintained a calm outlook. He quickly grabbed Eudora's hand. "Go quickly," he said. Next to Amos, a timer was flickering with red light. It was counting down with only about 50 seconds left. Eudora swiftly reached out to support him, saying, "I'll help you out of this!" She stretched out her hand to undo the ropes on Amos's body as she spoke. He grabbed her hand and said, "It's too late. Wesley, get Eudora out of here." He knew that there was no way for him to leave. Mark was out for revenge. Initially, as he was watching the time run out, he had refused to make a sound. He thought that Eudora would leave if she could not find him. However, who would have thought? His wife was as stubborn as ever. He was sure that if he had not made a sound, she might continue searching for him. Hence, he had deliberately made a sound. He had wanted to guide her to the room next door, but he had underestima
Right before her eyes, it was as though every moment that she and Amos had been through together appeared again. When she was in danger, he was always the first to stand guard in front of her. When she was sad, he held her in his arms without hesitation. They had embraced one another in the falling autumn leaves and had played together in the snow. He said that he would be with her for the rest of her life! Eudora quickly sat up and realized that she had already come back to Clearwater Bay. Helen stood by the bed, looking at her with red eyes. "You're awake? I've conducted a checkup on you. You haven't had much rest recently, and your body isn't very healthy either, so that's why you fainted. Cindy has prepared some things for you to eat. Do have some first!" Eudora didn't say anything. She lifted her eyes at Helen expectantly. She lifted her eyes at Helen expectantly, "Where is Amos? Didn't I carry him back? Where did he go?" Helen shoo
Eudora said, "I don't want to look beautiful. I don't want him to leave in peace. I want him to come back, to be with me forever and ever." Even Harley, a grown man, couldn't hold it in anymore. "Eudora, I too, hope that he'll come back! However, we've all witnessed it with our own eyes, haven't we?" "No!" she exclaimed and suddenly grabbed the cudgel from the hands of the traffic police officer, flailing it around in desperation. A few of them who had not been paying attention, got beaten by her a couple of times. Eudora quickly ran forwards. She was yelling at the same time, "I've done something wrong. Hit me! Hurry up and hit me!" The traffic police were initially going to arrest her, but her request bewildered them. Someone recognized Harley. They asked him in confusion, "Officer Louis, what's going on? What's wrong with this family member of yours?" Harley's heart was filled with pain. He answered, "I'm sorry to have put
Eudora stood still. Before she could speak, one of them had already voiced loudly. "This is Eudora George, isn't it? We're really not here to make a big deal out of this. It's just that since Amos has already passed on, it's time for you to hand over the keys to the Valiant East Group!" Eudora frowned. The person in front of her was Roger Granger, the paternal cousin, who Old Master Granger had taken pity on back then. Even though he was about the same age as Old Master Granger, he seemed more energetic and spry. That was unsurprising. All these years, they had been using the shares given by the Valiant East Group to live completely carefree while Old Master Granger fought at the frontlines, providing for their every meal. Hadn't they always been well supported? It was just unlucky that they turned out to be a bunch of ingrates in the end! Just as she was thinking about that, Roger's son, Sebastian Granger, who was technically Amos's paternal
"Amos..." Eudora had dreamt of Amos countless times. In the dream, he was as gentle as before, holding her hand and looking at the scars on her body with heartache. She felt as though her heart was being stabbed. She wanted to hug him but could only watch him disappear. When she woke up from her sleep, she sat on the bed with tears streaming down her face. There were traces of Amos everywhere in the house. He had once stood in every corner. How could she not think of him? Eudora could not fall asleep, so she decided to get up. She went to the garden to plant flowers alone. She had once said that she wanted to design the courtyard nicely, but her plans got delayed by various matters. Now that Amos was gone, she still had not fulfilled her promise. For the first time, Eudora felt that she was really a b*tch. She had always taken Amos's love for granted and had done a lot of things that hurt him. However, this time, he was
They were at the sports field in the school. When the parents of the several students arrived, they looked at each other in dismay. "Why are you all here?" asked one of them. Another replied, "Didn't Naomi's mother ask us to gather here? Hmph, she has probably realized her faults and wants to apologize to us now. There's no way she'll get away with this!" "Could it be that she's here for revenge?" one of them said with a slightly worried tone. "She's just one woman. Can she do anything to us? I doubt so! The Valiant East Group is going bankrupt, and Tyly Company has always been a half-baked company to begin with. All the men in her family are gone. How much power can she have now?" "You're right! If she has become a little humbler, considering that she's still quite good-looking, I'll tell my son to treat her daughter better in the future!" Upon hearing that, some of the men showed a filthy look on their faces. A beautiful single mother h
On the way back, Charlie was still curious. "Madam, were we being too high profile in this matter!? This might not be good for your reputation. The media has been paying attention to you all this while. I'm afraid that this will be disadvantageous to you..." Eudora smiled wryly and said, "Will I be afraid of that? What I want is indeed to become high profile! That way, whoever dares to bully the Granger family in the future will think twice! Even if Amos is gone, I can still protect my children." Charlie felt a jolt in his heart and nodded at her. "Don't worry, Madam. We're still here. We'll protect you!" She murmured a response, but immediately recalled something. "Did you find Wesley?" He had been missing ever since Amos' incident. Charlie shook his head, replying, "Not yet! However, the news has already been sent out. We'll find him eventually!" After a slight pause, he opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated. "Mad
