The servant cried out and avoided the attack. Amos Granger raised his hand to catch the cup. Then, he threw it to the servant, who was standing behind him, and strode inside. "Wendy! What's wrong?" The originally mad woman seemed to come back to her senses the moment she heard Amos' voice. She rushed towards Amos immediately. "Amos!" Just when she was about to run into his arms, Amos placed his hands on her shoulders, "What's wrong?" He asked. Wendy paused for a moment. Then, she said in horror, "I had a nightmare. In my dream, someone was whipping me in a dark basement!" Upon hearing this, his gaze darkened, and said in a hurry, "It's alright now. It's just a dream. You're now in Rosaville City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from that place. Those people will never approach you again." "But I'm really scared!" Wendy said in a trembling voice. "It's okay." Amos said. Then, he helped her to sit down on the bed and said, "Look at
Although Eudora George knew that Amos Granger was only helping the woman to treat her medical condition, she still couldn't accept the fact that her man was getting involved with another woman like this. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might still be able tolerate with it. "Okay." Amos responded. He did not make things difficult for her. In fact, he knew that putting the three of them together would just turn things into a ridiculous show. After remaining silent for a while, Amos took Eudora's hand to have breakfast together. …... Eudora finally had a rough idea for her design blueprints. Therefore, she had spent her time working either at the construction site or at her office for the next few days. She even continued with her design blueprints in her room when she reached home. The house was finally looking a little more lively when Amos came back. On Friday afternoon, Christopher Gellert asked Eudora in a mysterious tone,
Eudora George, who was a kind girl, seemed to have become a different person the moment she heard the word 'competition'. Who would've known she actually won the competition. Christopher said unwillingly, "Eudora, were you pretending to be bad at games all along? You look so soft and weak, and I didn't know you could play so well!" "Did you just call me weak?" Eudora looked at him innocently and asked him back. "Well let me tell you, I'm a fierce competitor. It'd be better for you to stop competing with me. I'll always try my best to win." Eudora used to compete with Kesha George all the time when they were younger. "Well, I guess I have to call you a 'contender'!" "Thank you. Please don't forget to buy breakfast for us this whole week!" "Sure!" Christopher said with a smile. After playing at the arcade, Christopher treated Eudora to some spicy kebabs. She did as Christopher said, numbing herself away with the spiciness, and out away fro
She responded only after a while, "No. But she just left not long ago, in that direction..." Amos Granger rushed out of the building before the receptionist could finish speaking. It was only then when Clint Zuckerberg finally realized the food and drinks were brought by Eudora George! He said to the receptionist in a hurry, "Why didn't you ask her to stay? You could've asked her to wait in President Granger's office!" The receptionist widened her eyes in puzzlement, "Assistant Zuckerberg, who is that person? Why are you so nervous? President Granger too..." Clint said with a dark face, "How dare you ask such a stupid question!" The receptionist was so shocked that her jaw dropped, Clint immediately snapped, "You'd better keep your mouth shut!" "Yes!" The receptionist nodded her head. However, the receptionist was very excited as she thought to herself, 'Oh my God! That woman is my boss' future fiancee!" …... Eudora George saw Amos'
Clint Zuckerberg went into Amos Granger's office and said immediately, "President Granger, Miss George was scalded." Amos frowned as he said, "Get the doctor." "You don't have to do this!" Eudora George looked at them helplessly, "It's not too serious. I just need it to leave it under cold running water and apply some aloe vera gel afterwards." After that, she went into Amos' lounge alone. There was a restroom inside, where she could run her arm under cold water. The chicken soup wasn't boiling hot, hence she was not badly burned. Coming out from the restroom, Eudora heard Amos asking Clint, "How did it happen?" Clint shook his head and said, "I've no idea. Things had already happened when I saw her. I'll go check it out now." "There's no need!" Eudora said in a hurry. "It's just an accident. I'm really fine!" Amos grabbed Eudora's arm and looked at it, then nodded his head. "Please be more careful next time. You don't have to take
Eudora George was stunned. She didn't understand what Amos Granger meant. "I didn't eat anything there, as I'd promised to come back to have dinner with you." A grownup man like Amos was talking to her coquettishly, as if he was a child. Eudora's heart melted with his words. "I'll prepare it for you." Eudora said. "Let me help you." Amos said. Both of them brought the cold dishes into the kitchen together. After heating up the dishes, they sat down and ate together. However, both of them remained silent when they were eating. …... The next morning, Eudora handed over her design blueprint to the person in charge of the competition. She had finally accomplished this huge task, thus she felt very satisfied. The preliminary round of the selections would start tomorrow. After that, they would judge the design blueprints publicly on a TV program until they selected the top winner of this competition. Eudora seldom went to th
Eudora George pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to explain it to me. It has nothing to do with me." Eudora realized that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and there was only half an hour until the person in charge of the competition got off work. Eudora was anxious. She quickly made a phone call to the person in charge. "I'm sorry, something went wrong with my computer. I'm copying the files into the CD right now. Could you please wait for a while longer?" Eudora asked. "I'm sorry. I can't break the rules for you!" "I promise to send it over tonight..." Eudora said. However, the person had already hung up the phone before Eudora could finish speaking. When the call was disconnected, Eudora felt an unprecedented grief stirring in her heart. Eudora knew that she shouldn't be feeling this way. She had never expected anything from Amos the moment she got into a relationship with him. However, looking at the documents on th
The result of the selection was released three days later. As expected, Eudora George's design blueprint had been selected for the second round of the competition. A TV station collaborated with the organizer of the competition. Therefore, there would be a live broadcast for the second round. They even hired a few experienced designers to be the judges. Eudora was very nervous. She had already begun to recite her manuscript at home since a week ago. Amos Granger leaned against the sofa and looked at her, the smiles in his eyes grew wider. "Don't be nervous." he said. "Are you laughing at me? Did I say it in a trembling voice?" Eudora looked at him and asked, "What do I do? I couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of so many people in front of me." "Well, you can just pretend that they're me." Amos said. "But, you're not the audience!" Eudora frowned and said, "Also, there would be a lot of judges, and they are all experienced
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
