That man was more stubborn than she had imagined. Even though Eudora was holding him by the throat at that moment, he still kept his tongue.
âMiss George, you donât have to waste your energy. I will never betray my leader! This is the rule of our organization.â
Organization?
Eudora suddenly thought of Charlie. Both Charlie and Wesley were in the same organization, and they existed solely for Amosâs safety.
Eudora gritted her teeth as she pushed that thought out of her head speedily.
âDonât you try to mislead me. Are you going to tell me or not? If you donât, then I willâ¦â
Eudora grabbed the fruit knife on the table beside her. Then, she rested the tip of the knife on her neck.
âDidnât you say that your leader cares a lot about my safety? If you donât tell me, Iâll slash myself, and I would love to see how both of you are going to explain this to your leader!â
The man immediately panicked and begged, âMiss George, please donât do this! He will never let me go!â
âAre you telling me or not then?â
âIâll tell you, okay? Iâll tell you. Itâs Mr. Nolan! Mr. Nolan was the one who arranged this!â
Fabian?
Eudoraâs eyebrows were knitted into a tight knot, âWhat does he intend to do by bringing me over?â
âHeâ¦â The man paused again, âI believe that he has his own plans. Miss George, please donât make things difficult for us!â
Eudora had gotten her answer, so she couldnât be bothered to argue with that man anymore. The most important thing at that moment was to escape while that man was watching over her alone.
She picked the rope up hastily and tied the man before leaving.
Once she got outside, Eudora discovered that she was in a new residential area, and there was hardly anyone living in that area. Moreover, it was a place that she was not familiar with.
Eudora made her way down the stairs as she scrambled her mind on ways to leave that place. All of a sudden, she noticed that the man who had gone out to buy the medicine had returned.
A chill went down Eudoraâs spine, and she hid behind the discarded boxes at the side hurriedly. She eyed the man as he went upstairs.
Once the man was out of sight, Eudora left immediately, but she realized that she was not familiar with that area. If she wandered around aimlessly, it would increase the possibility of them recapturing her. Hence, she had no choice but to stay where she was quietly and waited for them to rush out.
Once they left the house, she could then slowly find her way around the area.
Eudora calmed down and waited for them to chase after her. Sure enough, a few minutes later, she heard rumbling footsteps all the way downstairs. They were muttering among themselves as they walked.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Couldnât you just guard her properly? This isnât good. If we messed up his plans, both of us would be in serious trouble.â
âAlright, letâs not talk about this anymore. I hope that his plans have already succeeded! Letâs hurry up and chase after her.â
âI hope so. We would be able to rescue Charlie once the George Family withdraws their complaint. Then, our efforts would not be wasted too. As he had said, Miss George is clever. Fortunately, I was clever enough to say Fabianâs name insteadâ¦â
As the two menâs footsteps gradually faded away, Eudora stood there as if she had fallen into an ice pit.
It seemed that she feared had finally happened. She had been trying to remove Amos from her assumptions from the night before. She refused to believe that Amos was the one who kidnapped her.
When Fabianâs name was mentioned earlier, she breathed out a sigh of relief instantly.
However, in the endâ¦
Eudora took a deep breath and slowly strode out from behind the boxes. She managed to get into a taxi once she reached the main road.
However, shortly after she left, the two men who went out to look for her appeared from a dark corner.
A black car stopped beside the two men.
âGood job. I will reward you two well.â
âThank you, Mr. Nolan! Youâre the best.â
â¦
Eudoraâs mind was blank all the way. She took out her phone and realized her phone was out of battery.
Fortunately, the taxi driver had a charger in the car, and she used it to charge her phone.
As soon as she turned on her phone, notifications popped up like crazy. Most of the calls were from the Holt Manor, which probably was from Juju and Hodge.
The messages were all from Samuel and Leslie. Eudora simply replied, âIâm fine now!â
She then put down the phone.
Her phone rang seconds after she sent out the message. She heard Leslieâs anxious voice from the other end, âMiss Eudora, youâve finally answered the phone. Did something happen?â
âItâs nothing. Iâm fine.â
She felt a little emotionally tired and she didnât have the energy to talk to anyone.
Leslie pursed his lips and said, âMiss Eudora, someone from the Granger Family came to us and requested us to withdraw our complaintâ¦â
Eudoraâs heart tightened. She remembered what the two men said before they left. Turmoil raged in her heart.
âI donât agree!â
Leslie nodded compliantly. âMiss Eudora, Iâm glad that we think the same way. I wonât let Mr. Holtâs death go without an explanation. What makes them think that they could do whatever they want? I have already sent them back!â
âThatâs good!â Although Eudora uttered those words, her heart was still in turmoil.
She did not know how things had turned out this way.
âIâm a little tired. If thatâs everything, Iâll need you and Uncle Chilton to take care of the companyâs affairs. I would like to have two days off to rest!â
Eudora buried herself on the sofa after hanging up the phone. Observing the red marks on her arm, she recalled what the two men had said the night before.
They said that they must take good care of her and not hurt her even in the slightest way. What did he mean by that? Was he trying to show how deep his love was?
However, even if it was so profound, he still asked Charlie to kill her father. Tyler was the last blood relative she had in this world.
Eudora let out a bitter laugh. Her nose felt a tinge of sourness.
She was sad when Tyler passed, but she had never been so disappointed.
She even tried to defend Charlie as she didnât want Charlie to take the blame. That was why she had ordered the police to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a fool.
Hodge let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Eudora had returned.
Eudora looked around and asked anxiously, âWhereâs Juju?â
âOh, Miss Juju said that she wanted to meet President Granger. I noticed how sad she was and I was worried that she couldnât bear the grief, so I tried to find a way to get in touch with President Granger. He had just taken Miss Juju awayâ¦â
Eudora frowned. Her heart tightened when she heard Amosâ name.
Just as she was about to fetch Juju back, she saw her little child running towards her.
And Amos was trailing behind Juju.
