Eudoraâs voice trembled as she continued to sob. It sounded particularly heart-wrenching in the night.
Amos kissed her tears away hurriedly and looked at her nervously. âWhatâs wrong? Did you have a nightmare?â
Amosâ voice seemed to calm Eudoraâs uncontrollable emotions instantly.
She must have snapped!
How could she suddenly say such things to Amos?
Amos would definitely become suspicious by now.
Eudora thought about this and nodded in agreement, âYes. I had a terrible nightmare!â
Sure enough, when he saw Eudoraâs reddened eyes, he patted her on the back as his heart ached for her.
âWhat kind of nightmare was it? Tell me! People say that if you share your nightmare with others, it wonât be that horrifying anymore!â
Eudora knew that he was just deceiving her, but she still said it out.
âI dreamed that I was dead!â
She could clearly feel the man beside her trembling. In an instant, he held her tightly in his arms.
âDonât say such ominous things!â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She then replied, âItâs just a dreamâ¦â
âNot even in a dream! No way! Donât ever say it again next time! Didnât I already tell you? We will be together forever and ever! Donât think too much.â
After that, he poured the essential oil into the diffuser and switched it on.
Soon, a faint scent of lavender spread across the room.
Eudora slept soundly that night with the comforting scent of the lavender. However, the man beside her couldnât sleep a wink.
Deep down, he felt a little uneasy. Eudora had mentioned this topic way too frequently. She did it once at the hospital. This was the second time.
She seemed to have frequently thought about this matter. Was it because she recently wasnât in good health and had been stressed out about it?
Could it be that she had developed some kind of premonition due to Feliciaâs sudden passing?
Amos held Eudora even tighter at the thought of this matter. Perhaps he should take her on a trip abroad as soon as he was done with his work.
It was time to leave everything behind and have some fun.
Amosâ mind ran wild and he didnât sleep the entire night. The next day, he heard some noise coming from outside before he could even get up.
He was worried that it would wake Eudora up. He immediately got up and pushed the door open.
âWhatâs wrong? Why is it so noisy early in the morning?â
Charlie looked at Amos with a serious face and answered, âBad news, Mr. Granger. This suddenly appeared on the Internetâ¦â
He then handed over his phone to Amos fearfully. Amosâ face darkened as soon as he glanced at the screen.
With a sound of a snap, Charlieâs phone fell onto the ground.
âWho did this?â
Charlie bit his lips and answered, âClint has already been dealing with this news! Weâre also investigating it. As for Mrs. Grangerâ¦â
âYou mustnât let her know about this!â Amos ordered frantically.
Charlie could clearly see the nervousness on Amosâ face when he said those words. He would become anxious whenever the matter involved Eudora.
In the past, he was always very calm and relaxed, even when he was hunted down by a group of people.
Amos then quickly turned back and looked into the room.
Eudora had yet to wake up. He quickly closed the door and went downstairs.
âCindy, keep away all the mobile phones and gadgets that could connect to the outside world. The TV is not allowed to be connected to the Internet either. Weâll use the DVDâs for the time being.â
Cindy nodded in agreement but felt sorry for Eudora in her heart.
Mrs. Granger was such a nice person, but her life had been unfortunate. She had gone through so much to finally get rid of the trauma of this matter. Who knew that these people, who were far worse than animals, would actually film a video and spread it to the media.
Cindy gritted her teeth in anger at the thought of it.
âOkay, consider it done, President Granger.â
âYou two, keep an eye on every corner in this house. If anyone else were to sneak and end up saying something to her like before, both of you will know the consequences.â
Amos sounded very serious. In fact, he hadnât been this serious for a long time.
This also proved his determination for this matter.
Charlie immediately nodded, âPresident Granger, weâll stay alert of every movement in this house. Weâll not even let a single fly get in.â
As they were talking, Amos suddenly received a phone call from Clint.
âIâve already asked someone to delete every possible video footage on the Internet, but the other party obviously came well prepared. Although the video is inaccessible on the Internet right now, countless screenshots of it have already gone viral. President Granger, Iâm sorry, Iâ¦â
Amos closed his eyes.
He knew very well in his heart that Clint had already acted very quickly.
The Internet was even crueler than the real world. There were many people there who would do things they didnât dare to do in reality, especially in the places that others couldnât see.
In the real world, they might be the well-educated graduates or social elite on the surface.
However, in a place where others couldnât see, they might actually be worse than sc*mbags.
The thought of those sc*mbags spreading those screenshots across the Internet infuriated Amos. He felt as though a flame was burning on his chest.
âWho the hell is behind this?â
Clint fell silent for a moment before answering, âWe just got the news. The one who broke the news seems to be Steven.â
Amosâ eyes dimmed. He asked, âWhere is Steven?â
âI just found out that heâs on his way to the airport.â
âGo after him!â Amos ordered furiously.
â¦
At the same time, Bethany had also received the news. She leaned against the executiveâs seat and looked at Andrewâs salacious look.
âAunt Bethany, what a surprise. Amos is really something else. Eudora has already got herself into something like this, how could he still be in a relationship with her?â
Bethany frowned as she stared at the miserable girl on the screen. The video only lasted for a few seconds and there wasnât even have a clear beginning or an end. However, knowing human nature, most of them had already imagined countless erotic scenes, just like Andrew.
In fact, she thought that she was also the cause of this matter in the beginning. However, she didnât expect it to end up like this.
As a woman, no matter how much she hated Old Master Granger, she never wanted another woman to end up like this too.
Especially after she saw Amosâ feelings for Eudora. She used to think that their relationship was just for show. However, even she became envious of Eudora now.
Bethany felt annoyed and called after Andrew.
âWhen are you able to settle the task that Iâve delegated to you?â
Andrew initially thought that Bethany would be very happy to see Amos suffer. However, he didnât expect that she would scold him instead.
He immediately answered in an agitated tone, âAunt Bethany, how would you know if I have done it or not? Iâve already refurbished a batch of scrap metals and sent them all to Amosâs construction site. Now that such a thing has happened, Amos certainly has no mood to care about the construction site. At that time, weâll be able to make a clean sweep and Valiant East will belong to us! No one will be able to take it away from us!â
