Chapter 40: Chapter 40 It’s Not Even a Year Yet

Eudora George could only rejoice that there was no lights on now, or her flushed face would be visible.

“I… I’ll cook for you when we get back,” Eudora offered.

“I want to eat you more!” Amos Granger replied cheekily.

“You rascal,” Eudora huffed.

He was always like this. People who didn’t know him thought he was a cold person. Truth was, he was just a playful rascal.

“Okay, I’m a rascal!” Amos laughed.

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Eudora turned her head away. Her face felt hot, so she opened the window.

It felt much better when the wind blew in.

…

In the Granger Mansion.

When Samantha Cooper entered, her face was red and her eyes welled with tears.

Harry Granger and Kaylene Yoder were both shocked. “What’s wrong?”

“Dad, Mom!” Samantha hugged them and cried. “It’s Amos. He brought a shameless woman. They bullied me.”

Kaylene’s facial expression darkened. “Amos again. Since he came back, he has been against us every day. Now, he has even started to fight with our daughter! You must tell this to your brother!”

Harry continued to scheme, and a cunning look formed in his eyes.

“He brought a woman with him? What kind of woman is she?” Harry asked.

Samantha got even angrier. “She seduced Amos just because she’s beautiful.”

Hearing this, Kaylene and Harry looked at each other. Kaylene opened her mouth wide in surprise. “Didn’t you say that Amos can’t…”

“Ahem!” Harry interrupted her with a light cough. Kaylene hurriedly shut her mouth and helped her daughter up.

“How’s the relationship between the woman you mentioned and Amos?” Harry asked.

Hearing this, Samantha cried even more bitterly.

“I’ve never seen Amos treat a woman so well! He even used his secret guards!” Samantha sobbed.

“Then… did they have any physical contact?” Harry asked.

“Of course they had physical contact! That woman said that she seduced Amos!” Samantha said.

This time, Harry and Kaylene’s expressions changed. Kaylene took a deep breath and patted Samantha on the back.

“This is Amos’ fault. Your father and I will definitely help you. It’s late now. Go upstairs and take a shower and have a rest,” Kaylene said.

Samantha nodded and went upstairs crying.

When she left, Kaylene said, “Didn’t you say that Amos can’t touch women? Why is there a woman around him then?”

Harry shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but if this woman can have physical contact with Amos, it will not be a good thing for us if she gives birth to a child. My eldest brother doesn’t think highly of us, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Amos to come back to take over after Hank’s death.”

Kaylene was shocked. “But Amos is not that easy to deal with!”

Harry’s face was gloomy. “So what?”

…

The next day, when Eudora George had just arrived at the company, she heard her colleagues talking. “I heard that our company is going to be acquired!”

“How is that possible? Wasn’t our company just bought over by our current employer?”

“Yes, but I heard that Valiant East has already handed over the letter of intent!”

“Valiant East? It’ll be great if we can become a member of Valiant East!”

Everyone suddenly fell silent. Eudora looked back and saw Christopher Gellert coming in with a straight face.

When he noticed Eudora looking at him, he softened his expression and said, “It seems that everyone isn’t working. Don’t you all want a big case?”

Christopher was usually nice to people. When everyone saw that he was not angry, they stirred up the courage to question him.

“President Gellert, did our company really receive a letter of intent of acquisition from Valiant East?”

“No!” Christopher shook his head.

Upon hearing this, everyone had different reactions. Some were happy and some were disappointed.

Only Eudora saw Christopher’s frown when he turned around. She hurried after him.

In the corridor, she asked hesitantly. “President Gellert, is what you just said true?”

Christopher was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly. “You have seen through me. We did receive the letter of intent from Valiant East, but I won’t agree. You should continue your work.”

Eudora nodded and went back to work.

However, when she thought of Christopher’s expression, she felt guilty. Amos’ sudden desire to acquire Everpeace had to be because of her.

However, didn’t he agree to let her work here? Why did he do such a thing?

Could it be that she was thinking too much?

She couldn’t control the company’s future. Moreover, Amos was a mature businessman. He wouldn’t make silly mistakes just because of her.

The only thing she could do well now was her job!

Eudora shook her head and cleared her mind. She focused her attention at the computer monitor again.

At the same time, in the general manager’s office of Valiant East Group, Harry Granger’s assistant had just come in. “General manager, the president just issued a notice. He said that he would hold an acquisition meeting at three o’clock in the conference room.”

“What?” Harry was startled. “Which company does he want to acquire?”

“Everpeace of the Gellert family!” the assistant said. “I heard that the president has already asked Clint to give the letter of intent to the Gellert family.”

Harry was furious. “Then why are we having a meeting? Amos is getting more and more ridiculous. No, I must tell my brother!”

As he said that, he was about to make the phone call, but the assistant said, “The chairman already knows.”

“What?” Harry was even angrier. “That senile old man! He lets the brat do whatever he wants.”

Sitting back in his chair, Harry remembered what happened last night and said, “Go and find out where Amos lives now.”

The assistant left and came back quickly. “Clearwater Bay!”

“Clearwater Bay?” Harry narrowed his eyes. “Send someone to keep an eye over there.”

…

When Eudora George got off work and got home, a car screeched to a halt in front of the gate of Clearwater Bay, blocking her path.

Fortunately, Eudora was quick to react, so she didn’t bump into it.

A man dressed in black got out of the car and knocked on her car door. “Excuse me, are you Miss George? Our Master wants to see you.”

Eudora frowned. “I don’t know your master.”

“You will know when you’re there!” After saying that, the man held the window, opened the car door and invited Eudora out from her car into his.

The car sped all the way and finally arrived at the Granger Mansion.

Eudora had been there before, so she recognized it.

“Could it be that the Granger family has found out about me?” Eudora didn’t know what to feel.

She didn’t know how the Granger family was going to deal with her. Perhaps, this time, she might have a chance to leave Amos.

But…

It’s not even a year yet…

Eudora was shocked to realize that she had thought of this.
