Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Inner Thoughts

The night grew darker.

Amos followed the path he took last night and slipped into the Holt family’s entrance.

He stood outside of Eudora’s room as he thought of what Harley had told him just now.

Since the Nolan family was close to the Holt family, could they be in cahoots?

He already knew that the Nolan family was being targeted, so he had to remind Eudora of the danger.

Just as he was hesitating, Eudora’s voice rang from inside, “Who’s there?”

Amos paused and the door had already been opened. Eudora stared at Amos in astonishment, “You…”

She must have just finished taking a shower and wore a cute cartoon-printed camisole. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, appearing to be slightly damp.

Amos frowned and asked, “Why did you wash your hair at night again? How can you rest if your hair isn’t dry yet?”

“Huh?” Eudora was taken aback. Amos suddenly realized that their relationship was no longer what it used to be, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

“I came to see Juju. How is she doing?”

Amos came up with an excuse quickly.

“Uh…” Eudora paused for a moment and told him, “Juju is asleep.”

“Oh, that’s fine!” Amos said and turned to leave. However, he couldn’t stop himself from looking back at Eudora after taking a few steps away.

“I haven’t congratulated you yet for taking over the Holt family. However, to be the head of the family, you must understand all its assets well, as well as execute and plan for the family’s development properly. This is the most important thing to do, especially when there are some things that should stay in the dark… ”

After saying that, Amos strode away before Eudora could react.

Eudora stood rooted on the spot for a while before she finally came to her senses.

“Wait a minute, something’s not right. How did he get in?”

Moreover, he had said so many things that were completely out of place. She pinched her own cheeks, only to find that it hurt. It wasn’t a dream after all.

She stayed rooted for a while and remembered what Amos said to her just now.

She needed to figure out the family’s assets, especially those that couldn’t be exposed to the public?

Her heart skipped a beat. In truth, the issue that Amos raised to her a while ago had already been on her mind for some time. Otherwise, why would she think of opening a milk tea shop when she first arrived at the Holt family?

If the Holt family was indeed involved in some sort of illegal industry, it wouldn’t be good for the family. As she thought of this, she hurriedly called Leslie.

Currently, the only person Eudora trusted the most in the Holt family was Leslie Clarke.

Leslie also felt that this matter was of great importance, so he briefly analyzed it to Eudora on the phone.

“Besides the documents you used back then when you modified the milk tea shop that, the rest of the documents in my hand are legitimate industries. However, I don’t know if that’s the same for Samuel. He rarely interacted with us over the years, and Mr. Holt doesn’t care much about him either. He’s always busy with his own matters. If you’re not at ease, I’ll call Samuel over right now. Let’s ask him about this in private.”

“There’s no need to!” Eudora shook her head and said, “It’s late now. There’s no rush. Let’s go to the hotel tomorrow! We can also check up on things there as well.”

After hanging up, she went back to her bed again.

Her head was filled with thoughts as she looked at her daughter who was sound asleep. She really didn’t want to believe that Charlie had plotted to kill Tyler. However, suppose that Charlie really did murder Tyler, regardless of whether it was planned or not. In that case, she couldn’t forgive him as Tyler’s daughter.

But then, what about Amos and her…

However, if it wasn’t Charlie who killed Tyler, then who else could it be? Fabian? But so far, there was no clue that indicated that it was him.

Eudora thought about it all night. It was only when Juju suddenly had a nightmare that she hurriedly came back to her senses. She reached out to hold Juju in her arms.

“Shh, don’t be afraid.”

When Juju caught the whiff of her mother’s familiar scent, she calmed down and snuggled into Eudora’s arms as she mumbled about her father, mother and her younger brother.

Eudora stroked Juju’s hair and sighed.

The next morning, after taking care of Juju, Eudora headed off to Samuel’s hotel with Leslie.

Samuel had also arrived at the hotel early in the morning. The hotel had been refurbished, and the business was back to normal.

When Eudora and the others entered the hotel, a man next to Samuel muttered in a low voice, “Mr. Chilton, Miss George and the others are here. It looks like they’re still worried about you!”

The one who whispered was Raymond, the one who had been punished by Eudora.

Tyler had taken Raymond away at that time, and Eudora thought that he had already left the Holt family for good. She didn’t expect that he would end up in Samuel’s hands.

Samuel frowned and said, “You know, I don’t like subordinates who gossip.”

Raymond quickly shut his mouth before adding again, “Mr. Chilton, I didn’t mean it. I just that it’s unfair for you. When Mr. Holt was still around in the past, he didn’t pay much attention to you. Now, Miss Granger only listens to Leslie. What does she even know? She’s just a woman that Amos spoiled. She used to run a milk tea shop, and was muddle-headed when she did it back then.”

“Shut up!” Samuel bellowed.

However, he still held some grudges against her. When he saw how Eudora had managed to suppress Shawn, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Did he misjudge a person again?

Eudora and the others were already slowly approaching them. “Mr. Chilton! You’re pretty early,” Eudora took the initiative to start the conversation first.

Samuel gave her a bland response.

“Miss, you’re here to patrol, right? Feel free to take a look. I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements!”

Eudora was used to his cold attitude, so she didn’t say a word. She took Leslie around and then came back to find Samuel again.

“You’ve done a good job.”

Samuel gave her a brief reply, thinking to himself that Eudora was indeed a couraegous woman with no brains.

“If there’s nothing else, Miss George, I’ll leave first. I have things to attend to.”

“There is something I need to talk to you about,” Eudora smiled, “Let’s go inside and talk!”

……

In the office, Samuel paused in shock after listening to Eudora’s question. He then replied, “There’s nothing improper or illegal going on under my supervision. Miss George, don’t you worry!”

“There’s no clubs and any of the sort, right?”

Eudora was actually doing this for the good of the Holt family. Although there was nothing illegal about opening nightclubs, places like that were usually easily taken advantage of.

If someone had tried to do something there on purpose, the Holt family would be at a loss.

Samuel was already dissatisfied with Eudora, and upon hearing her words, he immediately felt annoyed.

“Miss George, don’t you think that you’re being overly uptight? We’ve been running the club for so many years. Do you think that our businesses are illegal?”

“No, it’s not that, Uncle Chilton. I just feel that since father has just left, the Holt family has suffered a heavy blow. Since we are under the watchful gaze of everyone else, it wouldn’t be good if someone were to take advantage of us.”

Samuel sneered, “Then what do you want to do? You want to turn them all into milk tea shops, don’t you? Leslie will listen to you, but I won’t, because I am not a brainless puppet.”

When Leslie heard his words, he immediately felt pissed off.
