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
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
