My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 55

Why would Old Master Granger come here in the middle of the night?

Both of them got up immediately. After changing their clothes, they went downstairs. The living room

was brightly lit.

Old Master Granger was sitting quietly on the big sofa in the middle of the living room. There were

bodyguards standing behind him.

"Dad!" Amos came forward and greeted him.

Old Master Granger looked at him up and down immediately. In the end, he fixed his eyes on the

wound on Amos’ arm.

"Sit down quick. Doctor William, please examine his wound carefully," Old Master Granger said.

"It's just a minor injury. I've already cleaned it," Amos said.

However, Old Master Granger refused to let him go. He said, "You should take care of yourself

carefully. Don't forget your identity." He glanced at Eudora briefly when he said this.

Amos had no choice but to sit down and let Doctor William examine his wound.

In the end, Doctor William said that it was only a minor injury and helped him change the bandage.

Before leaving, Old Master Granger looked at Amos and said, "I won’t force you if you don't want to go

back to the Granger Mansion. But, you kept forgetting your own duties because of a woman. I'm very

disappointed in you."

Amos remained calm while he listened to his father's assertions. After Old Master Granger had finished

what he wanted to say, Amos smiled faintly and said, "You're right, I know I'm at fault too. So, I would

like to ask for a month's leave. Please approve it, chairman."

Old Master Granger was so furious that he raised his head. Then, he said angrily, "Don't think that I

dare not approve it!"

"I know you dare to do so. Well, didn't Steven just joined the company? Second Uncle has always

wanted to achieve something to show off to you. I guess this would be a good opportunity for them,"

Amos said.

"Amos!" Eudora, who was standing beside them, felt that the father and son were trying to annoy each

other. She would feel bad if they were quarreling because of her.

"Old Master, it's all my fault. Please don't blame him," Eudora said.

"This is between me and Amos, you have no right to interrupt! I'll let him rest for one month if that's

what he wishes for!” After saying that, the old man turned to look at the assistant behind him and said,

"Did you hear that? The president is taking a month off. Please issue a notice to the company

tomorrow. Harry will take over the job for the time being."

The assistant looked at Amos awkwardly. Then, he looked at Old Master Granger who was consumed

by anger. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After that, the Old Master left together with his bodyguards.

"I'm sorry!" Eudora didn’t know what else to say. "It's all because of me..."

Amos shook his head and said, "Well, don't you think this would be better? I’m so happy I can finally

rest well for a month!"

Eudora was speechless. "Why do you look like you’ ve been looking forward to this?"

"Can't I?" Amos asked her back.

"Ah! Forget about it. It's good to take the opportunity to have a good rest too!" Eudora said.

"Will you accompany me?" Amos asked with a smile.

"I have to go to work. You have no income now. I have to earn some money to support our family,

right?" Eudora said.

Earn money to support the family?

Looking at Eudora’s serious face, Amos couldn't help but smile. He said, "The president receives their

salary annually."

"Oh!" Eudora paused.

"What’s the matter? Are you disappointed that you can't earn money to support our family?" Amos

asked.

"Of course! Felix used to think that just because he gave me allowance monthly, he could do or instruct

me to do anything! What nonsense! It's just 10,000 dollars a month. I will earn it soon enough!" Amos’

heart ached when he heard this. He reached out his hand to stroke her head. Then, he said, "I believe

in you. Treat me to a meal when you get a raise."

"Sure!" Eudora nodded her head with a smile.

"Before that, you have to let me ravish you first," Amos continued.

"What?! Help!" Eudora turned around and ran. However, Amos grabbed her and pulled her into his

arms.

The next day, Eudora refused to rest at home. She insisted on going to work.

Amos couldn't persuade her. In the end, he allowed her to go to work after making sure that she was

totally fine.

However, there was no one in the company. Eudora went around the office and then gave Christopher

Gellert a call.

"The company is on holiday?" Eudora asked in disbelief.

Christopher was in a noisy place. After pausing for a while, Christopher continued when he had walked

to a quieter place, "Why are you calling me? Are you feeling well already?"

"It’s just a minor injury. I’m here in the company. Where are the rest of the people?" Eudora asked.

Christopher gave a wry smile and said, "Well, I guess our company is closing down soon. The manager

of the project said he wanted to terminate the contract with our company after the incident went viral.

Not only that, he even asked us to compensate for his loss. He said that nobody will buy the houses

anymore because of this incident."

Eudora was shocked. "Where are you now?"

"I was trying to fight for the company, but I've failed. They insisted on suing us. Also, we’ve lost all the

money that we’ve invested. I’m sorry for this. I’m afraid that our company will face bankruptcy before

Amos takes over our company."

"Hey, please don't be like this..." Eudora was sad. Everpeace was not just her workplace, she had

special feelings for Everpeace because of her late mother.

It was not easy for her to accept the fact that Christopher was the owner of Everpeace. But was she

going to lose Everpeace forever now?

After hanging up the phone, Eudora stood alone at the same spot for a long time.

"No, we can't give up," she said to herself.

Thinking of this, she hurried downstairs and started the car engine. She drove to the company who

owned the project.

Eudora saw Chirstopher being chased out of the company when she arrived at the main entrance.

Christopher was in a bad mood. He looked as if he would start a fight soon.

Eudora walked over quickly and pulled him away. "President Gellert," she greeted him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Christopher’s face was gloomy. This was the first time Eudora had seen Christopher like that. He didn’ t

look like a gentleman.

Eudora could tell that the discussion did not go Eudora pursed her lips and said, "I'm a designer from

Everpeace. Is it okay for me to see your manager?"

The manager who was in charge of this project came out before Eudora could finish her words.

The manager was quite polite to Eudora. Perhaps it was because he had been punished by Amos last

time. The manager said, "Miss George, please don't make things difficult for us. It's not that we don't

want to help your company, but we really have no choice. Do you know how much we’ve spent on

these properties? How can we sell our houses after what has happened?"

What he said was reasonable. Eudora knew she should not continue to pester him.

It seemed that she was really going to say goodbye to Everpeace this time.

All of a sudden, the manager said when Eudora turned around and was about to leave, "Miss George,

there is actually one way to save your company. We may consider not suing your company if you

manage to find someone to buy all the houses."

Eudora froze.

It was a plausible solution. But... who on earth would be so dumb to do that?

Who would buy the houses if they knew there were buying them at a loss?

The manager continued to say when Eudora did not say anything. "Miss George, other people may not

be able to do that. But, I think you can do it. I believe President Granger of Valiant East will definitely

help you if you ask him for help."
