Amos returned to the dining table after the call. Eudora was sitting there alone waiting for him. Eudora saw the suspicion in his eyes and answered, "I declined their invitation. I told them that my wound is not completely healed yet." Her eyes were sparkling as if she was waiting for his compliments. Amos sneered, "You are as clever as a fox." Eudora pouted her lips. "If I were a fox, aren't you the big, old fox? Didn't you just refuse..." Eudora had been arguing with him a lot, but he liked it as she seemed to be more lively than before. However, the term "old fox" sounded a little bit awkward. "You're a cunning vixen!" Amos teased. She quickly replied, "You are a sneaky reynard!" Amos nodded with satisfaction. "That's why we are destined to be together!" Eudora was speechless. She could never win against Amos. They returned to their room in the evening. Eudora turned on her laptop to check her design drafts but
Anger thrummed through Harry's veins upon hearing that. "Why should we do that? We have been working so hard for this opportunity. I will go and meet them regardless." He got up and ordered her, "Pass me my clothes." Kaylene knew that it was impossible for her to convince Harry otherwise, so she got up and passed his clothes to him. Harry repeated a few important points of his plan to Kaylene before they departed. "You watch over my brother after I leave. Stall him if he is looking for me. I'll be back soon." "Okay!" Kaylene nodded. After Harry left, she headed to the Old Master's room with a box in her hands. Amos' cell phone rang again. It was Clint on the phone. He updated him on Harry's whereabouts, "The Second Master has gone out and is heading to the West Mountain." "What about the Cooper family?" asked Amos. "They are also there now. I feel like they really are desperate to get the deal." "Let them be! We
The strict rules and regulations set by the Old Master had made Valiant East a successful company. Anyone who violated the rules, regardless of the person's identity, was bound to bear the consequences. Hank Granger had violated one of the rules for a woman, so he was thrown out and left to die outside. Harry Granger knew that his life was over when he heard the Old Master's words earlier. He desperately grabbed the Old Master's legs, begging. However, the Old Master refused to even look at him. "You've let me down, Harry. From now on, Steven and you are suspended from work. You'd better stay at home and not go anywhere else!" The Old Master stomped out with his assistant's help. Amos then turned around and left the room with Eudora. Harry screamed behind them, "Amos, it was you who had planned all these, wasn't it?" Amos raised his eyebrows and replied, "Uncle Harry, you can't simply accuse others just because you are in a bad mood.
Clint took the box and checked the contents. Then he said to Amos, "Yes, it's our box." "Thank you very much, Mr. Cooper." Amos stood up. Jeremy stopped him before he could leave. "Hold on!" "It's been quite a while since we last talked. Our families have always been in a good relationship. We were quite close when your brother was still alive, weren't we?" said Jeremy in a cordial tone. "What are you trying to say?" asked Amos. Jeremy didn't expect Amos to be so cold to him. He faked a smile to hide his embarrassment. "Well, you're much more capable than your uncle. Let me go straight to the point then. If we collaborate, we will definitely win over Thomas Shelby. So, let's work together! What do you think? Isn't this a much easier way to earn money?" suggested Jeremy. "I'm sorry. On behalf of Valiant East, we're not interested in that!" Amos rejected. He turned around and walked out. Jeremy snorted, "Hmph! Let's
The woman paused for a while and answered, "Miss, no one makes a kite by themselves anymore nowadays. Look, our kites are nice and they are not expensive." Eudora shook her head and was about to leave the shop. The woman quickly shouted, "But we do sell semi-finished kites. I will ask my husband to make one for you in three days." She thought about it for a while and agreed to the woman's suggestion. She wrote down her address on a piece of paper. "Can you deliver to this address once you are done?" asked Eudora. The woman nodded and promised, "Sure." Eudora went home happily. Seeing Aunt Valerie was doing house chores, Eudora changed into a set of comfy clothes and volunteered, "Let me help you!" Aunt Valerie shook her head hurriedly. "You should not do this." "What are you talking about? I've not been working at all. I'm so bored with just staying at home. Isn't it okay for me to help you a bit with th
Eudora was so happy. She ran towards Amos and gave him a kiss. But he sealed her lips with a French kiss. After that, Eudora exclaimed, "Oh, my lipstick!" She burst into laughter when she saw that Amos' lips were covered with red smears from her lipstick. They went to work separately after breakfast. She had not been to the office for nearly half a month. She felt a little nervous. TEM Inc. had changed the company's layout and decoration after the acquisition. It had a more professional vibe to it now. Eudora made her way to the top floor. The entire office was unusually quiet. The atmosphere in the company was suffocating. It was as though the company had fallen into another crisis. A chill ran down her spine. She quickly entered her office. Eudora crept toward her seat carefully in the silent office. She turned around immediately when she heard footsteps behind her. At this moment, she heard a loud pop behind her. She turned
It was quite obvious that Thomas was here for Amos. Harley stood up immediately and warned. "Thomas, this is not the place for you to do this." Thomas looked at Harley. "Yo! Is this Officer Louis? I did not do anything illegal here. I am just here to chat with my old friend. There shouldn't be a problem, right?" Harley frowned. "You know very well what kind of business you are doing. Don't provoke me." "Thank you for your advice, officer. But I am a good citizen now." Thomas looked at Amos and continued, "President Granger, you messed up two of my businesses. What are you going to do now? Are you not going to give me an explanation?" Amos replied with a faint smile on his face. "What kind of explanation are you expecting?" "Ah!" Thomas pinched one of the ladies' breasts while smiling proudly at Amos. "Why don't you become my collaborator? Who else can compete with you now in Rosaville City? Do you remember what I told you last time, that if we
A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pillar in the middle of a pitch-black room with a chain. A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask. The boy's eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this place as soon as possible. A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully. The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her. The girl's cries echoed in the basement. The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face. The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground. All of a sudden, the girl's finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him. Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything
