âHarley!â Amos snapped all of a sudden and interrupted Harleyâs words.
âI wonât allow you to manipulate her feelings.â
Harley raised his eyebrows. âWhat if I had to do it?â
âThen, donât blame my subordinates for being merciless!â Amos replied almost instantly without a second thought.
Their eyes met and the atmosphere became tense with a dangerous aura. While Clint was contemplating whether to escape from this place, Harley guffawed and looked away.
âI knew it would be like this. You have always been a man who values his lover over his friend. You would definitely choose her between the both of us. Fortunately, I am used to it!â
Clint was dazed. He noticed that something was amiss.
Amos and Clint had the same expression and threw a pillow at him. âStop with your nonsense.â
Harley sighed and said, âForget it, Iâm leaving! Itâs all my fault. I knew that you would say something like that, but I didnât give up and tried to test you! Since youâve made your mind, I wonât be your best friend anymore!â
Clint was speechless.
Amos looked at Harleyâs dismissing figure and called him to a halt suddenly.
âHarley! I will do whatever you want me to do but donât you ever touch her. Mark my words.â
Harley gave a wry smile. âI got it. Alas, you will be killed because of Eudora, sooner or later!â
Amos remained quiet. Would he end up dying because of her? Unfortunately, he no longer had this chance.

Eudora was on tenterhooks for most of the day and couldnât wait for the result at all. On the other hand, the network departmentâs person-in-charge had changed all the webpage layout according to Eudoraâs requests. The theme was healthy and serious.
On the homepage, there were some slogans encouraging people to do good and be good people. Eudora had deliberately asked them to exaggerate the designs so that the results would be achieved easily.
Eudora nodded after reviewing it. âItâs good now. Launch it straight away.â
The person-in-charge launched the webpage with a heavy heart. Then, she turned the computer off immediately.
She thought that this would be an indelible stain in her career.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. The person-in-charge immediately wrote a resignation letter and emailed it to Eudora.
At this moment, Eudora coincidentally received a phone call from the milkshake shop. âBad news, Miss Eudora. Someone is making a fuss here.â
Eudora didnât care about anything else. She got up in a hurry and rushed over.
A swarm of people came after her the moment she arrived, and they surrounded her swiftly in a matter of seconds! As soon as they saw Eudora, the leader jumped out and bellowed.
âThatâs her. She didnât do anything and watched as her father get killed. Yet, she doesnât seem to be affected by the slightest bit. Did you see the video on the Internet? At this moment in time, she still dared to flirt with the murderer! A person like this deserves to die!â
These lowly people were basically those who werenât living a good life and had plenty of resentment in their hearts. Frankly speaking, they did have their own conscience, but they were just looking for an excuse to vent their emotions.
Eudora was subdued by them like vipers and beasts in an instant, as they surrounded her like she was their prey.
Leslie was getting anxious, but he couldnât squeeze his way into the crowd. The staff in the shop were mostly female, thus their strength couldnât be compared with these gangsters.
Leslie was worried sick and he called his men hurriedly. âHurry up and bring some men up here.â
He tried his best to squeeze into the crowd after hanging up the phone.
A tall man holding a stick in his hand went straight for Eudoraâs head. Leslie shouted in horror, âBe carefulâ¦â
Eudora raised her hand and grabbed hold of the stick. She flung with her other hand and shrugged the man away.
Leslie breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that someone was waving a stick at Eudora again.
Finally, Leslie couldnât help but take out his gun. âDonât move!â
Eudora was startled by him. He had caused the police to come over when he took out this gun that last time. What would happen to him if these people were to take photos of him doing so?
At this moment, footsteps could be heard approaching from the outside. Leslie immediately put away his gun and called for the people quickly. âCome in, all of you! Close the door!â
All of a sudden, he saw a group of bulky gangsters entering from the outside.
These were the thugs that the Holt Family had raised in the past. Although they were gangsters, they rarely fought and made trouble. The main reason was that Tyler had always wanted them to have some power so that they would not be bullied.
They immediately surrounded the group of troublemakers. Leslie rushed in hurriedly and checked on Eudora.
âMiss Eudora, are you alright?â
Eudora had hurt her hand before, and she hadnât completely recovered yet. If something bad were to happen to her, he wouldnât be able to own up to Tyler.
Eudora shook her head. âIâm fine!â
Leslie nodded and glanced at his subordinates. He waved his hand directly and exclaimed, âFight!â
As soon as he shouted the word, the young boys all got ready to fight. Eudora stopped them in a hurry. âStop!â
Everyone was taken aback and they looked at Eudora in unison.
Eudora coughed lightly. âThe Holt Family is currently running a legitimate enterprise, thus we canât do things such as fighting and killing. Especially at this point of time when the Holt Family is caught in the midst of a storm. Therefore, we have to be more cautious with our speech and actions!â
Although she sounded convincing, Leslie frowned and asked, âBut Miss Eudora, they came to our territory and caused trouble. We couldnât possibly just let them go, could we?â
âOf course not!â Eudora pursed her lips. âCall the police!â
Everyone was speechless. âWhat?â
Leslie was stupefied and he muttered quietly, âMiss Eudora, if we called the police because of such a small matter, given the industry we are in, we will be a laughing stock if others get to know about this!â
Eudora furrowed her brows. âWhich industry are we in? We have opened a milkshake shop to run a legitimate business. Why canât we call the police? Isnât the police in charge of protecting good people like us?â
At this moment, both Leslieâs men and the troublemakers were at a loss for words.
The Holt Family, who once dominated the industry and frightened people with just a blink of their eyes, was actually being described as good citizens running an innocent milkshake shop.
What a joke!
However, Eudora maintained a calm expression and smiled at the female employees behind her. âAm I right?â
âYes!â The girls replied in unison.
âSo, call the police!â
Leslie held his forehead and answered, âOkay. Iâll do as you say, Miss Eudora!â
He took out his phone and waved his hand to those men whom he had called over at the same time. âYou all may head back first!â
âWait a minuteâ¦â Eudora stopped them again. âDonât leave first. We donât have much time to meet on usual days. Since you are all here, letâs have a talk. In the future, when you are out on the streets, what would you do if you run into something like this again?â
âBeat him up! We canât bring shame to the Holt Family!â
Eudora frowned. âWrong! Iâll repeat it once again! Call the police and get their help! Remember this, okay?â
Everyone was speechless.
