Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Compromise

Kesha glanced at Felicia instantly, thinking that she had spilled everything to Gordon. After all, Felicia did knock on her door the night before.

She sneered, lifted the sheets, and got up from the bed, “Since you are already aware of it, I have nothing else to say then! I like Amos, so what? They’re not married!”

“You b*stard!” Gordon roared angrily, “That’s your sister and your brother-in-law. They already have their own children. How could you do that?”

“They may have children together but they’re still not married. That means that Amos doesn’t even like her, right? Does it really matter if she gives him to me then? It’s not as though it’s the first time anyway!”

Slap!

Gordon gave Kesha a hard slap with his trembling hand.

“How could you be so shameless?”

Kesha touched her sore cheek and looked at Gordon in shock. She had always been well-behaved since she was a child, so Gordon had rarely punished her.

Even when she hooked up with Felix back then, Gordon didn’t say anything about it at all.

Therefore, she couldn’t believe that her father had hit her this time around.

Kesha glared at Gordon with hatred, “How dare you hit me? What right do you have to do that?”

Gordon gnashed his teeth and replied, “I’ve already told you. They are your sister and brother-in-law. You’d better get rid of this motive as soon as possible.”

“No!” Kesha shouted, “You’re telling me now that they’re my sister and brother-in-law, but why didn’t you say the same thing when I hooked up with Felix back then? You didn’t discipline me at that time, so why are you pretending in front of us now? Is it because you feel like you could gain benefits since your daughter has someone like Amos to dote on her? Let me tell you, if Eudora can do it, I can do it too! Just you wait and see!”

After that, she pushed Gordon and Felicia out of her way and tried to leave her room. The next moment, Gordon yelled at Felicia, “Close the door!”

Felicia had always been afraid of Gordon, hence she closed the door immediately.

“Kesha, hurry up and apologize to your father!”

Kesha gritted her teeth, “It really was you. Are you even my mother?”

Felicia lowered her head and responded, “Kesha, how could you talk to your father like that?” Felicia was still concerned about Gordon’s assets, so she knew that she couldn’t turn against him so quickly.

However, Kesha had long abandoned that thought.

“Get out of my way! I will do whatever I want, and I don’t need you guys sticking your hands into my business!”

“Kesha…” Felicia was about to speak, but Gordon had already pulled Kesha back into the room and pushed her out. He then shut the door before Felicia.

“You’re grounded from today onwards. You are only allowed to leave this room once when you have finally reflected on yourself!”

Gordon then locked the door. He refused to open it no matter how hard Kesha knocked from the inside.

…

Steven had just left his office in the amusement park. He recalled that he had not seen Kesha for several days, hence he took his phone out from his pocket and gave her a call. Unexpectedly, her phone was turned off.

Steven was stunned. He then put his phone back into his pocket and continued walking forward.

Just as he reached the entrance of the park, he saw Amos walking in with a few people next to him.

“The amusement park will be ready for business soon. Have you made the necessary arrangements?”

After that discussion with Kesha that day, Steven was no longer as upset as he was before. In fact, it seemed that being kicked out of Valiant East was a blessing in disguise. He felt much more relaxed. He smiled at Amos.

“Amos, you’re here? I’ve already made the necessary arrangements for the grand opening. Rest assured, I have done everything according to the company’s regulations.”

Steven said.

Amos had just checked through the details earlier, hence he did not say much, “Well, that’s great to hear. Do inform me immediately if anything comes up.”

Steven nodded. He seemed to have thought of something at this moment, hence he called out to Amos.

“Amos, let’s have lunch together. It’s been so long since we last had a meal together.”

Amos was not planning to leave the park yet, hence he nodded his head and responded, “Alright. Just let me know the place and the time.”

Once they were done with work, Amos and Steven then went for lunch together.  After ordering their food, Steven tried to make conversation, “Amos, how’s everything in the company?”

Amos was suspicious, hence he answered simply, “It’s not too bad.”

“That’s good. I’m worried that you would be bullied in the company.”

“Why do you say so?” Amos asked.

Steven shook his head quickly in response, “Nothing, it’s just a thought.” He had said those words deliberately to pique Amos’ curiosity.

However, Amos did not seem interested at all to probe further.

He was not that witless to continue engaging in Steven’s antics. After all, he had interacted with all kinds of people in the industry. He could see through Steven’s intentions in a mere second.

Did Steven really think that he could fool him?

Seeing that Amos didn’t speak, Steven couldn’t help but say in a low voice.

“Amos, you haven’t been home recently. I don’t know if it’s because she’s too busy, but Aunt Bethany has become a completely different person from before. The people in Grangers’ residence now are all from the Hamilton family. I really miss the time when Uncle and Dad were still around.”

Amos could tell that Steven was trying to drive a wedge between the families.

It seemed that he was still unwilling to give up his evil intentions.

Amos could tell his motives as clear as day, hence he merely glossed over the conversation.

“The food here tastes good.”

Steven was planning to say more, but his desire faded instantly when he saw that Amos didn’t seem to understand the hint behind his words.

Amos left with his men after the meal. Steven remained seated and kicked the leg of the table in frustration. Didn’t Kesha say that Bethany would fight with Amos sooner or later?

Amos had been back at the company for so long, yet everything was still going smoothly between them. Were they really going to go against each other?

If things were to go on like this, would he still have a chance?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Steven then picked up his phone and dialed Kesha’s number. The call was not connected once again. He was so frustrated that he threw his phone away.

…

Kesha had been grounded at home for the past two days. Gordon would not let her out no matter what she said. There were anti-theft bars securing the windows, hence she could not escape at all.

She had initially planned to go on a hunger strike, but Gordon seemed to have made up his mind this time. Even a hunger strike couldn’t make him budge.

Therefore, the next day, Kesha decided to put up an act in front of Felicia.

When Felicia came to deliver her meal, Kesha took the opportunity to stop her.

“Mom, I know now that I’m wrong. Could you please tell Dad not to lock me in here anymore?”

Felicia’s heart ached as she looked at her daughter’s haggard face.

“Kesha, have you really repented?”

“Yes!” Kesha answered hurriedly. In truth, she resented Felicia and Gordon deep down in her heart. However, she compromised this one time for the sake of not being grounded anymore.

Felicia then nodded her head.

“Actually, your father is right. How could you think of seducing someone like Amos? Fine, I’ll plead for mercy from your father. You would have to behave well in the future, do you understand?”
