There was a smile on Amosâ face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Eudora George avoided his touch. She turned back and sat down on the bed.
The two of them looked at each other silently before he turned around and left for the study.
His words were obvious. He was not going to let either of them go.
He had suddenly become this terrifying man, a man whom Eudora didnât know. However, after thinking about it carefully, Eudora realized that he had always been a scary person, but he had just treated her differently all this while.
After a sleepless night, Eudora decided to go to see Christopher the next day.
After all, she was the reason that all of this had happened to him. She passed by a hot dog stall on the way there. They smelled so good, so she bought two of them.
Christopher was assigned to the warehouse, the one which he and Eudora had built together.
The warehouse had since been renovated. It was extremely dusty and was still in the process of getting cleaned up. Although the company had hired professional cleaners, Christopher, as the person in charge of the warehouse, still had to stay there to supervise the cleaning.
When Eudora arrived, Christopher was delegating the work to the staff. He was wearing a casual suit with dust all over his head and face.
It had never occurred to Eudora that that person was Christopher. If he was somewhere else, she would definitely not be able to recognize him.
While this was going through her head, Christopher saw her. He said a few words in a hurry, turned around, and smiled at her, revealing his white teeth.
âWhy are you here so early?â
âJust checking the construction site. And checking up on you while Iâm at it,â Eudora said flatly.
Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, âHow nice of you. Whatâs that behind you? Smells good.â
Eudora reached out and handed it to him. âHot dogs. Theyâre delicious. Go wash your face and weâll have it together!â
Christopher nodded hurriedly. âIâm really hungry. Iâll wash my face right now.â
Soon, he returned and had regained his original appearance. He finally looked like Christopher Gellert.
After taking a bite at the hot dog, he couldnât help but hum. âThis is really good.â
âYeah!â Eudora responded absent-mindedly. Her ears were filled with the sounds of sweeping and garbage truck wheels rolling on the floor.
However, all of this did not suit Christopher. He was transferred here because of her.
âIâm sorry.â
Christopher was stunned. He swallowed the hot dog in his mouth and shook his head. âWhy are you apologizing? I agreed with the project, and that meant that we have to bear the risks together. I am the only one who has been demoted. Youâre fine. We should be happy.â
Eudora shook her head. He didnât know anything.
He didnât know that TEM Inc was Amosâ company, and he didnât know that he was transferred here not just because of the so-called problems in the project.
But how could she tell him that? She could not save him either way, so it was better not to talk about it.
As she pondered on this, Eudora got up and picked up the broom next to her. âYou should eat, Iâll help you with your work.â
Christopher was stunned. âNo, this isnât part of your job.â
âWhy canât I do it even if it isnât my job?â Eudora smiled and said, âWhen I was in the Meyer Family, I did way more than this. Itâs okay, leave it to me!â
After that, she kicked off her high heels and stepped onto the dusty ground with her delicate feet.
Christopher grabbed her again and said, âYou really donât need to help me. Just leave. People might even think that Iâm bullying you!â
Eudora was stunned, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.
Why was this sentence so familiar? It seemed that she had heard it somewhere before.
But, how could she? She had not lost her memory before. She remembered everything clearly.
While she was still organizing her thoughts, Christopher had already taken away the broom in her hand. âIâve finished eating, Iâll do it myself. Youâd better go back to the company. Iâm here, so you can rest assured!â
Eudora nodded simply. She inexplicably remembered what Kesha George said to her.
Kesha said that she had killed Felix Meyerâs lover. Therefore, he married her but refused to touch her. He indulged himself in alcohol and women just to torture her.
It sounded so absurd, but Eudora suddenly felt that it was a little strange when she thought about it.
Felix had said more than once that she was beautiful and even took her out so that he could show her off. Judging from his character, if Felix did not have any grudges against her, then why didnât he touch her?
Was there really something that she didnât know?
The more Eudora thought about it, the more frightened she was. When she came to her senses, she realized that she was already at the detention center in the suburbs.
She had heard someone say that Felix was serving his sentence here.
After Eudora went in and registered her name, the prison guard went inside and informed Felix of her visit. Soon, he took her in and she finally saw him.
This was the first time she had seen him since their divorce.
He was no longer as conceited and arrogant as he used to be. His few months of jail time had made him depressed.
His eyes were fixed on Eudora for a moment, and then he sneered. âIt seems that Amos has treated you well.â
Maybe it was because of her branded clothes. Eudora did not explain further and said bluntly, âFelix, Iâve never asked you about this. But, why do you hate me so much?â
Upon hearing this, Felixâs body shook as he looked at her with disgust.
âArenât you ashamed of asking me why? Youâre a cruel woman. If it werenât for you, Fae wouldnât have died.â
Eudora was even more confused. âWho is Fae?â In her memory, there had never been a woman named Fae.
Felix got even more excited. âHow dare you forget about Fae. I thought that youâve suffered a lot all these years. It turns out that you donât even remember that Fae existed in this world.â
Seeing this, the prison guard behind him immediately scolded, âControl your emotions, prisoner.â
However, it was obvious that it was because of Eudoraâs words that Felix could no longer keep calm. In the end, he was taken away by the guard before they could finish their conversation.
Eudora sat there in a daze. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
She didnât dare to think about it anymore, so she just turned around and walked out of the prison.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Laura Westin. Laura looked much older than Felix. Seeing her somehow provoked Laura.
As soon as she came out, Laura waved her fist at Eudora. âHow dare you come here? Youâve caused my Felix to be like this. Youâre a vile woman.â
Eudora frowned and grabbed her hand.
âCan we talk?â
Laura was stunned. She looked at Eudora suspiciously and asked, âWhat tricks are you playing again?â
âNo tricks. I just want to ask you something. Can I? Of course, you can refuse, but Felix wonât be able to live well in prison.â
Sure enough, using Felix as her trump card, Eudora forced Laura to compromise..
âWhat do you want to talk about?â
