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
The servant didn't dare to say anything further. She let Wendy Liam stay in the room alone. The next day, Wendy was lying on the bed with her eyes open when the servant entered her room. She hadn't slept all night. The servant brought some food to her and persuaded her to eat. "Miss Liam, please eat something!" "I don't want to eat!" Wendy stood up abruptly and poured the food directly onto the servant. The soup was boiling hot, and the servant was wearing thin clothes since it wasn't cold that day. The servant screamed and burst into tears of pain. Wendy suddenly realized that she had gotten herself into big trouble. She got up and grabbed the servant's hand in a haste. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'll take you to the hospital now." The servant however kept quiet. She felt very aggrieved. She took care of Wendy carefully every day, and never expected for herself to be tortured in this way. However, Wendy was worried about
Amos Granger stood by the bed looking at Wendy Liam, who was still in a coma. The servant was very scared, "Sir, Miss Liam didn't allow me to tell you about this. She doesn't want you to worry." Amos wanted to say something. However, Wendy, who was on the bed, opened her eyes slowly. Looking around her, she paused for a moment before saying, "What happened to me?" The doctor finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Seems like Miss Liam is much better now. There shouldn't be any serious problems." Amos looked at his wristwatch and found that the competition was over. Therefore, he didn't rush anymore, and turned to ask Wendy, "Why didn't you take care of yourself?" "I'm sorry, I really didn't want you to worry about me." Wendy said. Upon hearing this, Amos frowned. "Forget it. Get some rest. I still have something to do!" "Amos!" Wendy lifted the quilt immediately and caught up with him. She grabbed his arm. "You haven't c
"It's you!" Christopher Gellert put his hands into his trouser pockets. "I can't believe you're here, the competition is over already. Mr. Granger, are you that busy?" Amos Granger frowned and said, "How dare you take her to a place like this! I'll deal with you later!" "Oh, are you going to deal with me?" Christopher sneered. "Someone would've taken her away if it weren't for me! Do you even care about your girlfriend? Wouldn't it be better to end such a relationship sooner? Please stop wasting her time." After saying that, he turned around and left. Amos frowned. Eudora George was struggling in his arms. She fiddled around his chest with her hands. "Why is there a wall here?" She asked. Amos held her hands. "Stop it." Eudora finally saw his face clearly, and said, "Amos? You're finally here!" Amos was very displeased, "Why did you drink so much?" However, Eudora did not answer his question. She shook her head and said, "Nope. How
Valiant East. After finishing some tasks, Amos leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to have a rest. Clint pushed the door open and came in. Amos heard him and opened his eyes to say, "What's next..." "I've pushed it back for three hours. Please take a break, you don't seem to look well." Clint said. Amos nodded his head and said, "Call me later then." As soon as Amos was done speaking, Harley Louis pushed the door open and came in. "Brother, are you free today? Didn't we say the other day that we're going to your place to try Sister-in-law's cooking?" Clint was speechless. "Well, it seems like President Granger has no time to rest anymore." Harley looked at Clint and asked in puzzlement, "Rest? Isn't it still working hours?" He turned his head to see Amos' pale face, and was shocked by the sight of it. "What's wrong? Brother, did your Second Uncle do anything to you again?" he asked. "No!" Clint said in a hurry. Harley was a
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
