Harley's jaw fell. What the f*ck! He never thought that Amos would do such a strange thing. It would have been fine if they had worn that secretly in their bedroom, but they were wearing it in front of him and Thea now! Harley buried his face in his hands and tried to gesture to Thea to leave, but Thea had already run towards Eudora. "Eudora, your clothes are so pretty!" It seemed that there was indeed such a thing as pregnancy brain. "Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too!" Harley was astonished. He went over hurriedly and suggested, "One wouldn't be enough, would it? You could buy more if you want!" "Yes, let's ask Tina to join us too. The three of us will wear this to go shopping in the future. It will look so good..." Harley covered Thea's mouth and said, "Oh dear, how could you go shopping in this?" Eudora looked at Harley in confusion and asked, "Why can't we go shopping in it? It's just a cosplay suit!" Was
They were done with their meal shortly after. Amos carried Eudora into his arms when she yawned. "Let's take a nap." She had gone shopping the night before and she got up especially early in the morning to try on her new clothes. It was a given that she would be tired. Eudora was still holding her phone, refusing to let go. This time, Amos was firm. However, he compromised once again when Eudora started pouting like a little child, "I'll let you have the phone after you wake up." Only then did Eudora close her eyes reluctantly. She really did feel exhausted. The adrenaline in her body was still pumping minutes ago. The fatigue started to overcome her once Amos reminded her of it. Amos stared at her. He got up and looked at Eudora's phone after she fell asleep. He was not very familiar with phones because he didn't like to use them. Clint would usually make the appointments on his behalf. All he had to do was make calls whenever necessary.
Eudora and Amos arrived at the address given by Gordon ten minutes after. It was a mediocre residential area. Eudora had arranged a nice sanatorium for Gordon previously, but he moved out of that place because of Kesha. It was the first time Eudora realized that Gordon was living here. The alley was very dark, and there was a strange smell in the air. Eudora and Amos quickly walked in, and they finally found the place that matched Gordon's description. They knocked on the door, and soon, Gordon opened the door. His eyes were dull, but they immediately brightened up when he saw Eudora. "Eudora, hurry. Kesha has been waiting for you." Eudora was curious. Didn't Kesha hate her? Why did she still ask her when she was in such a terrible state? Following Gordon's instructions, Eudora finally saw Kesha for the last time. Yes, it was the last time. Kesha was lying on a single bed against the window. She was looking out of the wi
Kesha's funeral was not held extravagantly and Gordon preferred it that way. Kesha was already in a very miserable state when she passed and he didn't want to restrain her any longer. It only took less than half a day for her to be buried. Eudora was very concerned about Gordon's state, therefore, she followed him. She accompanied him, who stood in front of Kesha's tomb for a long time. Soon, darkness fell, Gordon sighed and said, "Let's head back!" Eudora looked at Gordon worriedly. Gordon was first to speak. "Don't worry about me. I will go back to the sanatorium since Kesha is no longer here. I don't wish to trouble you anymore. My only wish is that both you and Amos will get along just fine. At least, I'd be in peace when my time is up here." Eudora chased after him, "Let me accompany you back!" "There's no need for that!" Gordon waved his hand, "I'll go by myself. I'm haven't lost my memory yet." Even so, Eudora drove behind Go
Amos had always had an intimidating aura about him. Even just by standing at the side without doing anything, it was enough to make others tremble with fear. Let alone now that he was glaring at the woman with anger in his eyes. The landlady froze in fear. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves/ "Who are you? This woman framed me. What's there to do with you?" "Framed you?" Amos gritted his teeth, "I did not see her frame you in any way." The woman pursed her lips, "Well, too bad for you. I, on the other hand, have seen enough." Amos smirked and looked at the bodyguards behind him, "It doesn't matter. I'll just act according to what I see now!" The bodyguards went ahead and started kicking the woman. She started screaming, and her face and body were scattered with bruises in no time. Just moments earlier, she claimed that she was a rich person, and an arrogant one too. "Who the hell are you? How could you do this to me? We'
Eudora received a phone call from Leslie the next day, saying that he found a lot of suitable office buildings and wanted Eudora to have a look. She had woken up much earlier that day. She decided to mentally prepare herself for possible rejections. However, the assistance she received was a completely different experience. Everyone was extremely polite to her. For starters, a man was already waiting for her by the entrance when she arrived. He took the initiative to greet her. "Miss George?" Eudora glanced at her watch and realized that it was only 7 a.m. Thinking that the landlord might not come so early, she mentally prepared herself to wait. However, this man proved to her that they work early too. Eudora raised her eyebrows and thought, "Well, for starters, that's impressive." The man then began to serve fruits, desserts, and refreshments on the table. "Miss George, thank you for coming in so early today. Please hav
Eudora arranged for the things to be moved over once the location was decided. At that time, not only Samuel and Leslie came along with her from Greene City, but most of the senior leaders who once contributed much to the organization came along with them as well. This was how their organization worked. They value relationships more than money. She changed the launch date to five days later. She began to prepare to move and pack things up. Leslie and Samuel understood Eudora's current situation, so they took everything under their wing. All she had to do was monitor the progress. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the grand opening. Amos had initially planned for Valiant East to help put up red banners together but Eudora was reluctant to accept Amos' help anymore. Hence, she rejected the proposition. She insisted that she could look after the business herself. Fortunately, there were enough elevators in Valiant East. They we
Amos was still speaking on the phone outside when he heard the commotion. His heart skipped a beat. He ended the call quickly and ran towards the front entrance. It was very crowded but he couldn't see Eudora and the children anywhere. He couldn't see Wesley either. He pushed through the crowd and noticed that the door at the back entrance had been forced open Wesley came in from the back door with reddened eyes, holding Juju in his arms. Juju started crying as soon as she saw Amos. "I'm sorry, Daddy. It's all my fault. I lost my Sugar Bun and Mommy..." Amos was confused and worried at the same time, "What did you say?" Wesley couldn't help the quiver and he gave a brief account of what had happened. "It's not Juju's fault. It's my fault for not being careful enough." "No, blame me. If I hadn't run around, Sugar Bun wouldn't have been taken away by the bad guys. Mommy wouldn't have disappeared because she wanted to save
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
