Eudora heard a whirring sound in her ears. Before she had the chance to turn around, she heard Amos shouting towards her, âWatch out!â
He went forward and held her in his arms. He used his body to shield her and protected her face with his head.
His muffled groans followed as he pressed against her back.
Eudoraâs mind was in a mess, and she reached out hurriedly to grab Amosâ hands from behind.
âAmos, are you alright?â
The man on top of her took a deep breath, and he replied weakly, âIâm fineâ¦â
However, Eudora could feel warm liquid dripping down her shoulders before he could finish his words, Bloodstains appeared all over Eudoraâs shoes. It landed drip by drip, like blooming flowers.
However, Amos refused to move as he continued to protect her. He kept asking her desperately.
âAre you alright? Were you hit?â
Eudora could not answer him. Tears were already flooding her eyes.
The backups had arrived, and they quickly stopped Raymond and the others. Leslie ran over hurriedly as he inspected Eudora carefully.
âMiss Eudora, youâ¦â
âCall an ambulance! Hurry!â
Eudora was shouting.
Leslie snapped back to his senses and called out, âQuick, call an ambulance.â
He attempted to hold onto Amos as well.
âMiss Eudora, let me help youâ¦â
âDonât touch me!â Eudora gritted her teeth. âAnd donât touch him too!â
In Eudoraâs mind, these people were responsible for making her life turn out the way it was today. They were the same people who had hurt Amos for their own personal gains.
How could Eudora still smile at them? She wanted nothing more than to beat them to death.
Leslie dared not move at all. Christopher and the others hurried over, and they helped get Amos down from Eudoraâs back.
When Eudora stood up, she shot Raymond a look as he was being pinned down by other people.
Raymond still looked indifferent, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. âMiss Eudora, I did it for youâ¦â Eudora had already walked over before he could say anything. She raised her leg and kicked Raymond hard.
Raymond was caught off guard. He felt as though a big stone had landed on his chest, and the smell of blood filled the air.
âYou⦠â
Eudoraâs eyes were fierce as she stared at Raymond, as though she was fighting the urge to kill him.
âYou should not have fought, you should not have hit people, especially⦠him!â
She pronounced the last word very softly. If one did not pay attention, they would not have heard it at all! Only Raymond heard it because he was the closest person to Eudora.
Leslie, who was next to her, was shocked to the core. He had always thought that Eudora was a very easy-going person and he even thought of her as a weak person.
He thought that was why she had changed the casino into a weird milkshake shop once she took charge of the place.
He had thought about these before. It was no wonder Tyler wanted Fabian to be Eudoraâs fiancé. Fabian was an outstanding man, and he would be strong enough to compensate for her flaws.
However, it seemed now that he was wrong.
The lady in front of him was not that easy to bully. She was clearly very strong, but she had only shown her kind and beautiful side all this while.
She could have chosen to be a bad person, but she had chosen to be a good person instead.
At that moment, Leslie felt a sudden sense of respect in his heart for her. Christopher and Harley were both taken aback as well.
Although they had seen Eudoraâs less vicious side, this was the first time they had seen such a fierce side of her.
To put it bluntly, Amos was the person she cared most about after all, wasnât it? Although they did not know why she refused to admit to itâ¦
The person who was most shocked by this was Tina. She had grown up in the Holt family. Naturally, she thought that she had seen quite a few bad people herself.
Besides, although Tyler was usually very nice to her, he was quite scary whenever he became serious too.
However, Eudora seemed to be a weak and fragile little woman on the surface. When she became fierce, she emitted an aura that was even stronger than Tylerâs. It was really astounding.
It seemed that she was familiar with his father.
Once Eudora said these words, she wanted to kick him again. However, Raymond suddenly fell to his knees with a flop. âMr. Holt, help!â
The crowd turned around, and they all realized that Tyler was standing at the door of the store. No one knew how long he had been standing there.
The door of the car opened, and Tyler stood there as he looked at Eudora quietly.
He even felt a sense of gratification when he saw Eudora kicking Raymond.
However, when he glanced at Amos, who was injured, his eyes were suddenly filled with complex emotions.
âWhat the hell is going on here?â
Raymond knelt in Tylerâs direction. He shouted desperately, âMr. Holt, please save me! Miss Eudora is about to beat me to death!â
Eudora did not say a word. Tyler looked at Leslie again and said, âYou! Speak!â
Leslie immediately told him what had just happened. However, he did not know what Raymond and the others were thinking about. Hence, when he talked about Raymondâs motives, he just explained that Raymond might have misunderstood Miss Eudoraâs intentions.
However, Tyler was a smart man. He could tell what was going on based on Raymondâs expression. However, in his heart, Amos was, after all, an outsider whom he disliked.
He definitely would not stand on Amosâ side, so he nodded his head as though he was oblivious of the truth.
âRaymond, you did a good job, but you did not listen to Eudoraâs orders. You need to be more careful in the future!â
Raymond heaved a sigh of relief, he got up hurriedly to bow to Tyler. âThank you, Mr. Holt.â
After he was done talking to Raymond, he turned and faced Eudora, âAre you alright?â
Eudoraâs heart was filled with resentment at this moment. However, Tyler had intentionally looked towards Amos, so Eudora dared not be too disrespectful. Therefore, she answered him casually.
âIâm alright.â
Tyler nodded in satisfaction. âThatâs good. The rest of you, send the injured ones to the hospital. The Holt Family will be responsible for the medical expenses. We will not go back on our word!â
Harley was furious!
âMr. Holt, even though we are in Greene City, the law is still applicable!â
Tyler smiled slightly. âOh? And you areâ¦â
âHarley Louis of the police squad!â
Tyler immediately laughed. âSo itâs Officer Louis! I have never heard of any Officer Louis in Greene City. Which police station are you stationed at, Officer Louis?â
Harley was furious. âRosaville Cityâ¦â
âOh, so youâre from Rosaville City. Officer Louis, I am sorry. Iâm afraid that you canât intervene in the matters of Greene City. You were the one who brought trouble over in the first place. The people in our store couldnât stand the injustice. This is not a big deal, right? However, if you canât stand it, Officer Louis, then feel free to call the police! I wonât tolerate anyone involved in the fight!â
Tyler was indeed an old sly fox. He had avoided every blame with just a few words!
