What should we do?
Eudoraâs lips curled up, âI donât care what he wants to do. As long as he hurts my husband, I wonât let him go!â
Charlie was taken aback!
He suddenly felt that Madam was so cool!
âThen, what should we do next?â
Eudora pursed her lips and said, âAsk Clint to come in!â
Clint had learned about Mark from Charlie. As soon as he came in, his face was full of anger.
âI really did not expect that Mark would be so bold. Back then, Thomas had been defeated by us. Yet, he still dares to come and look for his death?â
Eudoraâs brow creased, âHe had already succeeded more than half of his plan already!â
Wasnât that right? Back then, Thomas had not been able to bring Amos away. He had only used himself as a threat to Amos. However, now, Mark had actually managed to bring Amos away without anyone noticing!
Clint lowered his head and answered, âIt was us who didnât protect Amos well.â
âI told you to come in not because I want you to repent! Since things have already happened, we have to pick ourselves up. Based on my intuition, Mark should be brewing some plan!â
âWhat?â Clint asked anxiously.
Eudora shook her head, âI still donât know yet. Itâs just that based on my previous understanding of Mark, I feel that he isnât such a simple and straightforward person.â
Otherwise, he wouldnât be so hesitant.
At first, he had taken advantage of the rift between Leslie and them and made them think that he was merely helping Leslie and hid his real purpose.
After that, he took drastic actions when they thought that Leslie had been subdued.
That move was truly much more powerful than what Thomas had done.
As she was thinking, her phone rang.
Eudora picked it up and looked at it. It was a strange number. She accepted the call hesitantly, âHelloâ¦â
There was no response from the other end, so Eudora spoke again.
âWho are you looking for?â
A soft laugh came from the other side of the phone. It was a very distant sound, but it was bone-chilling.
âMark Shelby?â
Eudoraâs voice sank.
Charlie and Clint, who were beside her, immediately held their breath and glared at the phone as if they were going to glare at Mark to force him to jump out of the phone.
âMrs. Granger, youâre very smart! My people have told me that someone in Valiant East is investigating me. I guess that Mrs. Granger has found out about the clues. Youâve done so earlier than I thought, indicating that the relationship between Mrs. Granger and President Granger really is firm and stable!â
Eudora frowned, âDonât talk nonsense to me. Whereâs Amos? Where is he?â
âDonât worry!â Mark laughed, âIf this game ends so soon, then it wonât be fun anymore! Donât you want to enjoy the process? Do you dare to play this game with me?â
âWhat do you mean? What do you want to do, until youâre willing to let Amos go!â
The other party laughed again, âSince youâve asked, Iâll say it directly. Iâm not like my brother, who likes being simple and straightforward. My brother was caught by you two, right? As for me, I like playing games! Look at todayâs game! Iâll make a bet with you. Within three days, Iâll make the stocks of the Valiant East plummet! Of course, if you win, Iâll bring Amos back!â
Eudora took a deep breath, âI donât trust you! This is just a verbal discussion. What if you take back your words?â
âForget it! If you donât want to bet, my original plan will carry out as normal!â
âYou⦠are despicable!â Eudora gritted her teeth.
âYou can say whatever you want. Thereâs only one way for you right now, and that is to gamble with me!â
Eudora also knew in her heart that since Amos was in his hands, she was completely in a submissive situation! If she agreed to bet, she might be able to pacify Mark for the time being.
If that was the case, Amos might not be in that much of a danger.
After thinking about it for a while, she finally agreed.
âIâll make the bet with you, but I hope you can keep your promise and let go of Amos by then!â
Mark laughed heartily, âLetâs talk about that after you win!â
After hanging up on the phone, Clint and Charlie immediately surrounded her, âMadam, how is it? How is President Granger?â
Eudora shook her head, âClint, go and contact Gabriel, the stock market expert, right now. No matter what his price is, we have to employ him.â
Clint only heard that Eudora wanted to gamble, but he did not know what she was going to gamble on. Now that he was asked to look for Gabriel, he suddenly became nervous.
âMadam, do you want to bet with Mark using stocks?â
âI donât have any other choice!â Eudora said coldly. âAnyhow, you have to help me find Gabriel.â
Turning around, she looked at Charlie again.
âGo and investigate the number that called just now!â
It was rare for Eudora to maintain her rationality at this time and still remember to investigate the number. Charlie was finally a little relieved as that indicated that Eudora still had a plan in her mind.
He nodded immediately. âOkay!â
â¦
A moment later, Charlie first came back.
âThe number is registered under Giant Star! Itâs a legitimate number. Iâve contacted the relevant personnel of Giant Star. Itâs said that the number had been registered for employees! We still canât find anything more for now.â
Eudora had underestimated Markâs attention to detail. He had actually come up with this.
âI see. Letâs not worry about this for now.â
Clint came back and said, âMadam, Iâm sorry!â
âYou havenât gotten in touch with Gabriel?â Eudora asked anxiously.
âItâs not that! Iâve contacted him in the name of Valiant East. However, his assistant said that Gabriel has already been invited! He doesnât accept any other collaborations for the time being.â
âThen, did you tell him that we accept any conditions?â
âYes!â Clint sighed, âHowever, theyâve said that they had already signed a contract with other people. No matter how much they want to help, they canât.â
Clint paused for a moment and said, âIn fact, I had suspected what kind of person could intervene in our stock under President Grangerâs nose. Now, it seems that the reason Mark is confident is probably because Gabriel is working for him!â
Clintâs words made sense, and Charlieâs expression immediately became serious.
âMark is tricking us! Heâs already well-prepared, but he wants us to fall into his trap. He knows that we canât winâ¦â
âWho says we canât win?â Eudora closed her eyes, âNo matter how smart a person is, there will always be times when they are careless. Although Gabriel is powerful, we arenât weak either. For Amosâ sake, I will definitely win against him!â
Clint nodded, âYes!â
Charlie was somewhat rational about their situation, âDo you know anything about the stock market?â
Clint nodded, âIâve bought some before! It then got converted to become tens of thousands of dollars!â
Charlie said, âYour opponent now is Gabriel though!â
As they were talking, Archer pushed the door open from outside and came in.
âAssistant Zuckerberg, Miss George, I have the latest news. Our companyâs stock has suddenly been bought in large quantities! Several directors are waiting for you outside. They suspect that someone is trying to destroy our market with malicious intentions now!â
Upon hearing what Archer just said, the three of them looked at each other quickly.
They were still in a dilemma. In reality, the enemy did not intend to give them any time to do so.
The war had already begun!
