Fabian nodded and handed over a stack of documents.
âItâs all here if you want to look into the Nolan familyâs credentials. If you have more questions, my assistants will assist you.â
Eudora was speechless.
Fabian seemed to have come well-prepared!
Eudora took the documents. âThank you. Iâll get someone to look into it thoroughly!â
Fabian looked at Eudora with admiration. It seemed as though he would discover something new about her every time he met her.
Interesting.
After Fabian left, Eudora finished her breakfast and went to work.
She didnât relax, and she handed over all the information to Leslie.
âThe Nolan family wants to join our business all of a sudden. Although Fabian said that it was just a whim of that old man, you still have to look into it!â
Leslie nodded. âUnderstood, Miss Eudora.â
Leslie was pretty efficient, and he got all the necessary information by the afternoon.
âAt present, the Nolan family seemed fine. Old Master Nolan has been staying at home since he retired. He doesnât care much about the companyâs affairs. I think that he really did it on a whim. You also know that he and Tyler liked competing with each other! Since we own a milkshake shop now, it wouldnât be surprising if he wants to run one as well.â
Eudora nodded. âLetâs sign the papers then. Get someone to contact the Nolan family as soon as possible.â
âOkay!â Leslie nodded.
Eudora had actually thought that Malcom was just looking for something to do. Since he had saved Tyler in the first place, she could consider this as returning a favor to him!
Furthermore, she had been so kind to them, so they would probably give more leeway to her next time if she and Fabian were pressured to get married again.
The partnership between the two families was decided quickly. Half a month later, the milkshake shop, which was operated by both families, was opened.
On that day, the grand opening was reported all over the headlines. The media was up-to-date with the latest trend, and they praised the partnership between the anticipated couple.
â¦
Amos had been busy with projects ever since he recovered from his illness.
At this moment, Harley rushed in from outside.
âAmos, how could you still concentrate on your work? The world is turning upside down!â
Amos seemed indifferent. As he was reading the documents, he asked calmly, âWhatâs wrong?â
âYouâre joking, right? Havenât you read the news? The Holt family and the Nolan family are running a milkshake shop together. Didnât you see that?â
Amosâs hand paused for a moment, and then he began to write again.
âOh, really? Good for them!â
Harley said angrily, âAmos, do you know that the Nolan familyâ¦â Speaking of this, Harley froze.
âDid you really think that I came to you because of Eudora and Fabian? I stopped liking Eudora after what she did to you! I donât even know Fabian, but I know you. If something happens to Eudora, you will definitely risk your own life to protect her. You are a smart person, so you should understand what I mean!â
After that, Harley turned around and left.
Amos waited for him to close the door. He then put down the pen in his hand and went online.
It really was big news. Amos saw Fabian and Eudora standing together smiling once he clicked on the news link.
Amosâ eyebrows furrowed. He reached out to touch Eudoraâs face on the monitor but stopped midway.
After sending Harley out, Clint opened the door and came in.
âPresident Granger, Mr. Louis looked very angry. What is your take?â
Amos frowned. âItâs okay. Help me check out the Nolan family and see if they have done anything recently. Not only the ones in public but also ones that are hidden from the public.â
He knew Harley well. Although he might look playful, he had always been reliable when it came to handling big matters as such.
Clint nodded. âUnderstood!â
âWait a minute!â Amos said again, âLetâs go out for lunch!â
Clint was stunned. âWhere do you want to go? Iâll make a reservation for you.â
Amos pointed at the address on the computer screen and said, âThis is the place. We could also get some milkshake after weâre done eating.â
Clint was at a loss for words.
âOkay!â
â¦
Eudora accompanied Tyler to the opening ceremony of the milkshake shop in the morning. When she was done, she was prepared to leave.
However, Fabian caught up to her before she could leave. âEudora, my father is very happy. Thank you for helping us this time. Weâve made a dinner reservation. Letâs eat together before you go!â
Eudora refused. âItâs alright. I still have some matters to attend to in the shop.â
âItâs alright. Iâll have Leslie handle it!â Tyler said.
Eudora had no choice but to go with them. The bearded man whom she saw last time, Callum, and Waldron, were there too.
The two of them still didnât get along with each other. The atmosphere felt tense with them together.
Eudora went out after a while, feeling a little tired.
As she stood outside the window to get some fresh air, Fabian came out and said, âAre the dishes not to your liking? Iâll have them prepare again.â
Eudora nodded. âIt has nothing to do with the food. Iâm just feeling a little tired. Iâll just stand here for a while! You should go ahead!â
Fabian did not leave. Instead, he stood beside Eudora. âGreene City is beautiful, isnât it?â
The hotel they chose was built in a very good location. This building was a landmark in Greene City. Even the restaurant, which was located on the top floor of the building, overlooked the entire Greene City.
The weather that day was good, and it was sunny. Looking out from here, the entire Greene City was indeed beautiful. Eudora agreed, âYes!â
Fabian chuckled and said, âGreene City is so beautiful. Who wouldnât want to own it?â
Eudoraâs mind was wandering, and she didnât immediately understand it. âHuh?â
Fabian shook his head, his gaze falling on Eudora. âYou saw todayâs news, didnât you? The perfect matched couple. Werenât they talking about us?â
Eudora frowned and didnât respond. Fabian pointed at the building in front of him.
âThatâs the Nolan familyâs property. The one next to it is the Holt familyâs. After we join forces, youâll understand our position in Greene City. Isnât that pretty good?â
Eudora asked. âWhy would that be good?â
Fabian was stunned. âDonât you want to see the Holt Family gain more power?â
Eudora shook her head. âI donât want to. Iâve always hoped that my children, my loved ones, and the love of my life, would stay healthy. Are fame and power really so important?â
Fabian frowned. He had always been looking at the world from a manâs point of view. Perhaps, he hadnât put much thought into what success and power looked like in a womanâs shoes.
Fabian pursed his lips and suddenly laughed again.
âI see!â
âIâm sorry!â Eudora apologized. âIâve wasted a lot of your time before, and please tell Uncle Nolan that Iâm sorry.â
Fabian forced a smile and said, âYou really know what to say in situations like this. Why are you so eager to draw boundaries with me?â
âI just donât want you to waste your time on me!â
Fabian snorted. He spotted a familiar figure not far behind him from the corner of his eye and said with a smile.
âNo, it wonât be a waste as long as itâs you.â
