Eudora might have not made up her mind about Amosâ proposal that day because she had not sorted out her thoughts. Yet, at this moment, she seemed to have realized something.
Some things might not be fine just because one refused to speak about it.
The more one tried to avoid these things, the more they would come knocking on oneâs door.
This time, she had Juju, who was a member of the Granger family. Hence, Harry would naturally become more cautious of her. It would be difficult for her to hide even if she went overseas.
For the sake of Juju and herself, Eudora took the initiative to reach out and hold Amosâ fingers.
âYes, weâre getting married!â
Then, they looked at each other and smiled. There was an unprecedented tacit understanding between them.
Harry frowned and said, âYour father will never agree to it!â
âIt doesnât matter!â Amos said, âIâve told you a long time ago that Valiant East is nothing to me. I will just leave the Granger family if you guys donât agree to it!â
Harry was excited because this was exactly what he wanted.
Unexpectedly, the Old Masterâs roar came from behind. âHow dare you!â
Harry turned around hurriedly and said, âBrother, you finally came. Did you hear that? Amos even brought this woman back to threaten you.â
Old Master Granger frowned. He was especially furious when he saw Amos and Eudora hand-in-hand.
He was about to lose his temper when a childâs voice suddenly rang behind him.
âDaddy, Mommyâ¦â
âJuju!â Eudora was finally relieved when she saw her. She asked worriedly, âAre you alright?â
âMommy, I want to go home!â Juju called out tearfully.
Eudoraâs heart tightened. Juju must have been frightened after being taken here so suddenly.
With great anxiety in her heart, she said hurriedly, âJuju is my child. You donât have the right to lock her up like thisâ¦â
âShe may be your child, but sheâs also the child of the Granger family,â The old master was very stern.
âSheâs not a child of the Granger family. Sheâs just my child,â Eudora said.
As she spoke, she slowly let go of Amosâ hand.
âIâm sorry!â
Amosâ heart sank. He felt that the happiness that he had sacrificed so much to achieve was about to leave him again.
However, for Jujuâs sake, he had no way to refuse.
To his surprise, the Old Master suddenly threw out a paternity test at Eudora.
âDo you think that I would acknowledge a child without getting to know the situation clearly?â
Eudora was taken aback. She picked it up hurriedly and looked at it. This man really was a sly old fox. It turned out that he did not make his move for the last few days because he was waiting for the resultsâ¦
That was to say that they had tried to get in touch with Juju a few days ago but she was not aware of it at all. It was too frightening!
Amos was even more surprised. He was shocked and delighted at the same time.
It turned out that Juju really was his daughter and not someone elseâs child.
He stared at Eudora and his heart was in a mess. Eudora pursed her lips and said, âIâm sorry, Iâ¦â
âLetâs not talk about thisâ¦â
Amos then said, âWhat on earth do you want? Why canât you just leave Juju alone?â
âThatâs impossible. Itâll never happen!â
After that, Old Master Granger told the servant, âArenât you going to bring the child in?â
The servant, who had heard this, immediately grabbed Juju and took her in. Juju refused to go back inside and struggled desperately. However, in the end, she was just a child and was soon taken away.
Amosâ eyes turned red when he saw the scene that happened before him.
âDonât you go too far!â
Old Master Granger turned to look at Amos and said, âI know that you have a lot of tricks up your sleeves, but I have plenty too. If you donât want this child to get hurt, promise me that you will send Eudora away. Otherwise, you will never get to see Juju again.â
After that, he directed the servant to push his wheelchair into the room.
Eudora was heartbroken when she heard Jujuâs heart-wrenching cries.
She could not help but let go of Amosâ hand. She then said, âDonât worry about me. Youâd better go in and check on Juju. She must be frightened.â
Amos held her hands tightly and refused to let go. âYou know that they will definitely send you away as soon as I go in. I have lost you for five years. How could I still afford to lose you?â
âButâ¦Â Juju is crying and sheâs your child too. How could you be so cruel?â
Eudora could not stand it anymore. She could feel that Jujuâs throat was already turning hoarse from crying. The old man did it on purpose. He deliberately let them listen to Jujuâs cries. How could any parent bear to listen to the cries of their child?
Upon hearing this, Amos pulled her into his arms.
âArenât you heartless as well?â
Eudora was surprised and Amos continued faintly, âYou little liar, you ran away with my child. You did not even tell me when you returned. If the old man hadnât done the paternity test, when were you going to tell me?â
Eudora pursed her lips and said, âIâ¦â
âI wonât let you go again, Eudora. I will never let you go ever again!â
Eudora bit her lip and she asked, âWhat about Juju? She has just recovered a while ago. How could you bear toâ¦â
âOf course I donât!â
However, before Eudora understood what he was saying, she suddenly saw Amos take out a gun from his pocket and put it against his temple.
â¦
In the Granger family.
It was rare for Harry to be in a good mood. He sat down and began to make some tea after returning to his room.
Kaylene frowned and said, âYouâre still in the mood to make tea? Didnât you see what your brother was doing? Why did he bring the little girl back? Wouldnât it be better to drive Eudora and her child away? Why bring the child back? Heâs going to put our efforts all in vain!â
âWhat do you know?â Harry explained, âIt would be possible if his elder son was still around but the Granger family is only left with a few children. The old man is smart and he will try to keep as many bloodline as possible!â
âBut, itâs not a good thing for us!â
âOf course, itâs not a good thing but you donât have to worry. My nephew and my big brother are stiff-necked and either of them would soon back down. I think that the little kid probably inherited their stubbornness too. What could the whole family do if theyâre all so stubborn? Letâs just watch the show in peace!â
Kaylene immediately nodded happily and said, âYouâre right. Letâs hope that they pissed the Old Master off and eventually die from anger, then weâ¦â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â Harry glared at Kaylene.
Kaylene replied hurriedly, âSorry, I misspoke.â
âMy brother treats us very well. Donât say such things in the future.â
âI understand!â
Harry nodded and started drinking his tea again.
At the same time, the Old Master was sitting alone in the study. He suddenly recalled the night when his eldest son died.
Back then, the situation in Valiant East was not going well and troubles stirred up every day.
He was so busy that he had no time to spare. Yet, his eldest son was going on about marrying that vulgar woman at home. In a fit of anger, he had locked his son at home. However, somehow, his son managed to run away and escape with the woman.
