It was a coincidence, and Eudora had only discovered it later.
After Gordon got sick, he would still run around. Therefore, the sanatorium had inserted a tracker into his pocket.
However, that morning, the nurse had mistakenly put in her recording pen into Gordonâs pocket instead of the tracker.
Then, the rest was history.
Clint put the recorder on the table, âIâll hand it over to the relevant department later.â
Sebastian still refused to give up, âYou must have fabricated it. No one will believe this!â
Roger was indeed the more experienced person in the room. Seeing that Sebastian was going out of control, he quickly tried to calm the situation down.
âLetâs not be distracted and figure out whether that matter is true or not. Weâre here to talk about Valiant East. I think itâs important for us to elaborate on that topic.â
As long as they could take control of Valiant East, everything else would be easier to handle.
âWhat do the other shareholders think?â Eudora, who had not spoken much, suddenly opened her mouth.
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was enough to resonate through this space. The conference room, which was hustling and bustling, miraculously became quiet after she had spoken.
A full three seconds of silence passed.
Then, someone spoke, âEudora, what is the meaning of this? According to our previous agreement, Iâve already won. Are you going back on your word now?â
âHave you actually won?â Eudora asked.
âDear shareholders, do you agree with him using such dirty tricks to win?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Sebastian gritted his teeth. He had already been angry, and now that Eudora said that, he naturally could not hold it in anymore.
Roger shook his head at him, indicating for him not to speak.
Then, Roger opened his mouth to speak.
âEudora, is there anything youâre not satisfied with? Weâre a family, so thereâs no need to talk about this publicly. We donât want our family matters to be laughed upon by outsiders. My family had our own business to run. When we saw that the Granger family was about to collapse, we did not want that to happen. Thatâs why we offered to help. You had also agreed to it. You said that as long as we can reach your target, it would be decided. Why is it turning out like this today?â
Roger was indeed cunning. He tried to put himself in a weak position.
In addition, he was old, so it was easy to arouse sympathy from others.
Most of the people present were either touched or felt a sense of crisis. Only Eudora looked at the shareholders with the same expression.
She said with a clear mind, âI wonder if everyone still remembers the main principle of Valiant Group. Only by integrity can we last long. Youâve followed the Valiant East Group for so long, so it seems that youâve forgotten it.â
âBullsh*t!â Sebastian cursed.
His reaction was too vulgar. Whatâs worse, all the media heard it. The good impression that Roger had created was instantly destroyed.
Roger wished he could find a way to sew Sebastianâs mouth. He must have spoiled his son too much. How could he be so stupid?
Roger was at a loss for words. Looking at Eudora, who was standing on the other side looking calm and collected, his heart ached when he realized that his son could never measure up to her.
Eudora was still as calm as ever, âYouâre all hungry, arenât you? Iâve prepared food at the cafeteria. Why donât you all have a taste!â
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?
This was the first time food was being served at a press conference! Sebastian jeered at her, âAre you trying to please everyone at this point? Do you think everyone else is as greedy as you?â
Roger frowned and said, âShut up!â
This son of his was truly useless.
The other shareholdersâ faces all turned gloomy. Roger had just been trying to please them as well!
He quickly said with a smile, âEveryone must have been tired. Sebastian didnât mean that. Letâs eat something first!â
Eudora had already turned around and walked towards the cafeteria without a care. The rest of the people naturally followed her.
Before the outcome had been decided, the media would not give up. As for the shareholders, they naturally put their own interests first.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, they could smell the fragrance of food.
Everyone couldnât help but be surprised, âIt smells so good! Is this the secret recipe of the Granger family?â
The rest of the people also nodded. âIt could be. I ate at the old branch when I was young. I had gone there with my parents back then! Itâs really tasty! After growing up, Iâve never had the time to eat there again!â
âMe too! At that time, my parents were still alive. We were so happy together!â
âGuess what dish it is? It smells so good.â
âIâm guessing itâs a buffet.â
âYou wish! It really smells amazing though!â
Even the people who were not hungry were captivated by the fragrance. They really wanted to have a taste.
The crowd stretched their necks and looked at the cafeteria inside. Soon, they saw the waiters walking out with trays.
It wasnât a feast nor a buffet. It was a simple plate of spaghetti!
Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Was the meal just a plate of spaghetti?
Sebastian had been nervous at first, thinking that Eudora was trying to win over their hearts. Now that he had seen that it was only a plate of spaghetti, he immediately sneered.
As soon as Roger glared at him, he held himself back and stopped talking.
In front of everyone was a plate of spaghetti. Inside, there was bacon, shrimp, eggs, and some vegetables.
However, unlike high-end restaurants, the food had been roughly chopped.
The ingredients had all been cut into different sizes, as if they had been prepared by an amateur.
Wasnât this all too casual? It did not live up to its fragrance.
Eudora ignored everyoneâs fussing and picked a fork. She said, âIâll eat first! Do as you please, everyone.â
The crowd did not move. They watched as Eudora started eating slowly. After taking a few bites, Eudora actually began to peel the shrimp.
The shrimps still had their shells on.
This was unacceptable!
Sebastian had an idea and said loudly to Harper, âEveryone is hungry. Make a reservation for fifty tables for the high-end menu at Treasure Restaurant. Iâm inviting everyone to come over.â
Treasure Restaurant was as famous as Valiant East Catering. However, their target audience was completely different. Valiant East Cateringâs main target was ordinary people, whereas Treasure Restaurant targeted the high-end class.
All the dishes in Treasure Restaurant cost thousands of dollars. Now that Sebastian had said that he was treating them to the high-end menu, each table would easily cost tens of thousand dollars!
Many of the people in the crowd were blue-collar workers. Naturally, they were inclined to joining Sebastian. After all, it wouldnât hurt to try it out!
As expected, after Sebastian finished his words, the crowd began to stir.
âHeâs indeed the future successor of the Granger family. Heâs so generous.â
âThatâs right. I havenât been to Treasure Restaurant yet. If I can have a taste of it, I can write an article about it in the future.â
All of them got up and were ready to leave. Suddenly, in the corner, a cry was heard.
