Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Your So-Called Good Woman

In the dark, Eudora could feel Amos’ body relaxing when she told him that she knew how he felt about his father.

He was finally willing to let go now. It was good for both the Old Master and himself.

While she was thinking, Amos Granger turned around and carried her.

Back on the bed, Eudora George had a sweet dream.

She dreamt of herself, Amos, Juju, and the Old Master. The four of them were having a picnic in a park. The spring breeze blew through the grass, bringing with it the fragrance of the soil.

Eudora took Juju’s hand and heard her calling the Old Master ‘Grandpa’ in a pleasant voice. Amos also happily called him ‘Dad’.

She turned her head and saw that Gordon George was also there. He was holding her mother’s hand. Not Felicia Maurice’s, but her biological mother’s.

Everyone wore a smile on their faces, and Eudora burst into a giggle in her sleep.

She slept well through the night. The next day, Eudora woke up early.

After preparing Juju’s breakfast, she asked Auntie Valerie to send her to school.

Then, she felt Amos wrapping his arms around her as soon as she walked into the room.

“What did you dream of last night? Why were you giggling in your sleep?”

Eudora didn’t realize that she was giggling out loud and she felt a little embarrassed all of a sudden, However, she couldn’t help but laugh again when she thought of her dream.

“I have a feeling that the good days are just around the corner.”

Amos raised his eyebrows, “How could you tell? Could it be that you are itching to become Mrs. Granger now that the Old Master had given us his blessing to get married?”

Amos deliberately asked the last question in a teasing tone and Eudora blushed furiously at the question.

“Who wants to be Mrs. Granger? Aren’t you shameless?”

As he spoke, she tried to break free from his embrace, but Amos pulled her back.

“It’s you, Eudora.”

“Stop it,” Eudora reached out to nudge him away, “Don’t talk to me anymore.”

She was shy.

Amos raised his lips and lowered his head, prying her fingers off to kiss her, “Okay, let’s not talk about it then. Anyway, whether you are willing or not, you are going to be Mrs. Granger.”

Just as he spoke, his cell phone rang. He answered and said briefly, “Well, I know. Get ready then. I’ll be there soon.”

While he was on the phone, someone knocked on the door from the outside. Eudora hopped over.

She always thought that it a hassle to use a wheelchair, especially since only one of her feet was injured. As a result, she resorted to hopping on one leg around the house.

A servant was standing at the door, “Miss George, the Old Master wants to see you.”

Why did he invite her over so early in the morning?

Eudora was stunned, “Isn’t he supposed to go to the office for a board meeting today?”

“I’m not too sure about that. The Old Master instructed me to invite you over.”

Eudora nodded. The Old Master must be used to her taking care of him in the morning. Well, it seemed that the men in the Granger family were a little sadistic.

Since the Old Master’s room was a little far, Eudora decided to go back and take the wheelchair.

…

There would usually be all sorts of things flying across the room whenever she went to the Old Master’s room. She would also hear him yelling at the servants. However, that day was very quiet.

Could it be that the Old Master had decided to turn over a new leaf? Thinking of this, Eudora reached out and pushed the door to his room open.

There was no one in the room. The Old Master was sitting on the couch, motionless.

He was already in his suit and his hair was carefully combed.

Eudora called out softly, “Old Master…”

She frowned when the Old Master did not answer her. She then maneuvered the wheelchair in his direction, “Old Master, do you need my help with anything?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Old Master suddenly fell off the couch. Eudora was shocked and she cried hurriedly, “Old Master, are you alright?”

When the servants, who usually took care of the Old Master, heard her shout, they immediately rushed in. When they saw what had happened, they were frightened.

“What’s going on? The Old Master…”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but reach out and place a finger at the Old Master’s nose. His breathing was very weak.

She cried hurriedly, “Quick! Someone call the doctor!”

The servant nodded hastily, turned around, and ran to call the doctor.

Harry’s and Kaylene’s voices came from outside in a reproachful tone.

“It’s so early in the morning. Why are you guys shouting? What’s going on?”

The servant said chaotically, “The Old Master fainted.”

Harry Granger and Kaylene Yoder quickly ran over, “What happened?”

Kaylene suddenly shouted, “Blood! He is vomiting blood!”

Eudora’s heart sank and she immediately looked at the Old Master. There was blood flowing out of his mouth and it looked a little dark.

“Poisoned!” Kaylene said in horror, “The Old Master has been poisoned.”

Eudora was dumbfounded. How could he possibly be poisoned?

Harry immediately shouted, “It must be you, Eudora! You must have poisoned him.”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately exclaimed, “I didn’t!”

However, Harry was certain it was her. No matter how she defended herself, he was insistent, “You were the only one in the room when we came in. If you did not do it, then who did? The Old Master was still fine last night and now he has been poisoned. Come, take this woman to the next room and lock her up!”

The servants looked at each other and did not dare to do anything.

Harry said again, “Are you all stupid or what? Something happened to the Old Master. I am the eldest person in the family now. How dare you not listen to my order?”

The servants then went over reluctantly and held Eudora, “Sorry, Miss George.”

Eudora frowned and said, “Since you insist that it was me, you will not change your mind no matter what I say. But I would not give in.”

Harry snorted, “Of course not. We saw it with our own eyes. You were the only one in this room. If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be? Quickly lock her up. The rest of you, follow me to the hospital. We need to send the Old Master to the hospital now!”

Since Eudora was injured, she couldn’t dissuade them. She had no choice but to follow the servants obediently.

…

Meanwhile, Amos had just arrived at the office and he had no clue over what had happened back home.

All the shareholders had arrived. They were all waiting for the Chairman.

However, there was still no sign of the Old Master when it was time to start the meeting. Amos called Clint and said, “Call home and check what’s taking so long.”

Clint Zuckerberg soon came back and said, “Nobody answered the phone.”

One of the shareholders said with a smile, “He must be on his way. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Amos had a hunch that something was off. Although the Old Master had a bad temper, he was always very professional whenever it came to work. It was impossible that he would be so late.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up.

“I’m going out for a while.”

When he got outside, he called Eudora first, but no one answered.

At this point, he knew that something was wrong. Eudora had injured her leg, so there was no way that she had left the house. Thinking of this, he immediately called Harry and managed to get through.

Amos asked hurriedly, “Did something happen at home?”

At the other end of the line, Harry snorted and said, “Your woman has poisoned your father.”
