Chapter 650: Chapter 650 The Person Who Knew Her Best

Eudora’s heart wavered. Clint had always been a very trustworthy person and wasn’t the type who would lie.

But, what about that kidnapping incident?

Eudora smiled bitterly. “I believe that Charlie may have had some unspeakable predicaments, but my father did die because of his actions. I’ll choose to believe so until the pieces of evidence prove otherwise. Besides…”

Eudora recalled the incident when she was being kidnapped. “If Charlie had his difficulties, then why did Amos’ men try to kidnap me? I believe what I saw.”

Clint was taken aback. “What kidnap?” A thought flashed through Clint’s mind as he recalled Amos looking for those two employees from their company.

“Was it that time? You’ve misunderstood. Those two people…”

“Forget it!” Eudora shook her head. “That matter is already over. I know that you guys did it for Charlie’s sake, so I don’t blame you guys anymore! Even so, there’s no reason for me to go back to Amos.”

Amos had his own perseverance and beliefs, and she had her responsibilities and duties.

They must be responsible for their future and could no longer indulge themselves in the love of the past.

…

The next morning, while reviewing the documents, Amos asked Clint.

“How’s the investigation on the Nolan family? Are there any updates?”

Clint shook his head. “Their accounts and secret arrangements have gone through the hands of several generations, they have perfected it. It’s difficult to find loopholes at this point!”

Amos nodded and suppressed the anxiety in his heart. “Okay! Go and do your work!”

Clint, however, did not move. He played back the conversation with Eudora last night in his mind. After a good thought the night before, he was contemplating whether to let Amos know.

However, if President Granger knew about the things he had said to Miss George, would he be unhappy?

While he was in a dilemma, Amos asked, “What do you want to say?”

“I…” Clint hesitated.

“You went to find her?” Amos asked nonchalantly.

Amos read his mind. In the past, he disliked guessing what others were thinking. A man in love was indeed terrifying!

Clint nodded. “I’m sorry, President Granger. I did find Miss George and explain several things to her.”

Amos sneered. “It’s no use!”

He had guessed correctly again!

Clint didn’t understand this time. “How would you know that it would be useless? Since when is there such a big misunderstanding between you and Miss George? In fact, Miss George only felt disappointed with Charlie’s mishandling from the beginning. She’s never been against you!”

“She’s not against me, but she still resents me. However, this resentment is not why she wants to be with Fabian, so there are only two possibilities. One is because of the Holt family’s current situation. If she wants a steady development, the fastest way is to marry Fabian. At least, in the eyes of many elders in the Holt family, it is the best way. Therefore, the marriage between her and Fabian has become her responsibility. I know her well. She has never feared responsibility!”

Clint didn’t expect things to turn out that way.

Was this also the reason why Amos didn’t go looking for Eudora this time? He had already figured everything out in his mind…

“What about the other reason?”

“The other reason?” Amos smiled bitterly. “It’s possible that Eudora really thinks that Fabian is a good man, isn’t it?” Amos thought.

When Amos did not answer, Clint continued hurriedly, “So, what do you mean by that?”

“Let the Nolan family receive the punishment they deserve!”

Realization dawned on him. No wonder!

Clint nodded but thought of something important. “Didn’t you request me to find out who were the two people last time? I found them! Miss George had also mentioned this last night. They seemed to have told Miss George on purpose that you have ordered for her kidnap!”

Amos sneered and put down the documents. “Where are they? Bring them in!”

Clint felt a chill down his spine as he turned around to leave. After a moment, two haggard looking men entered the room.

As soon as the both of them saw Amos, they knelt down and begged him.

“President Granger, please forgive us! We have made a mistake, but we have our own difficulties too! I lost a bet, and if I don’t take Mr. Nolan’s money, I may have been killed! Fortunately, Miss was not seriously injured. Please forgive me.”

Amos glared at the two coldly. “It seems that I have been too easy-going these years!”

Although he said those words without using a harsh or threatening tone, the two men felt an inexplicable fear.

They exchanged glances at each other quickly and saw the horror in each other’s eyes!

“Sir, please spare my life. Sir, the investigation is very strict now. You cannot abuse your powers!”

Amos smiled. “No. Why should I abuse my power for people like you? Valiant East is not a place like the Nolan Group that will deliberately lure people to owe a high debt of gambling and then force people to do things for them!”

The both of them froze. “Sir, do you mean that the Nolan family is…”

One of the men suddenly came to his senses. “Don’t you remember? We weren’t gambling anymore, but later a man appeared and kept trying to persuade us. Isn’t that man from the Nolan family?”

In hindsight, the two of them gritted their teeth and said, “Despicable! They are too despicable! Sir, thank you for telling us everything!”

“There’s no need to thank me!” Amos chuckled. He then turned to look at the wooden stick that he had already asked his men to prepare. “Do it yourself.”

Both of them glanced at it and turned pale instantly. “Sir, we admit our mistakes. Please spare us…”

“Clint!” Amos didn’t bother to listen to their nonsense. “Give them thirty seconds. If they aren’t willing to do it themselves, ask someone to help them. It’s time to quit their gambling habits!”

The two of them trembled as regrets filled their hearts.

When they first joined Valiant East, they had heard about Amos’ ruthlessness. Any rivals who offended him would not have a good ending.

At first, they had also been careful out of fear. However, in the past few years, Amos seemed to have turned over a new leaf. He was no longer as cold-hearted, so they let down their guard.

Now it seemed that he hadn’t changed at all, it was just that no one had crossed the line!

While in their thoughts, Clint had already lifted the stopwatch and began the countdown.

“Five, four, three…”

Both of them felt a tight knot in their chest and ran hastily to attach the ropes on the wooden sticks to their arms.

To their surprise, the rope was an open-knot. They could slide into the rope with ease, but they didn’t expect it to tighten until their arms became numb.

However, they dared not move. They were afraid that Amos would not spare their lives.

Amos witnessed them getting tied up for the whole day. By the time their arms turned purple from the lack of blood flow, Amos finally stood up and was ready to get off work.

When Clint saw this, he stepped forward and asked, “What should these two…”

Amos stopped and glanced back at them. “Oh, I almost forgot. Let them go!”

Both of them were delighted. The next second, Amos added, “The arm punishment is good enough, but as Valiant East’s employees, they betrayed the company and kidnapped a person. I suspected that there is something shady between them and the Nolan Group. You can send them to the police station directly and report them!”

Both of them fell speechless and passed out with their numbed arms.
