The person in charge didnât know what exactly happened either, âIt just started burning all of a sudden. Fortunately, the firemen arrived in no time, and they saved the young man in the room.â
The young man was sitting against the wall, and he looked extremely terrified. His life was hanging by a thread just now, it was no wonder that he was frightened.
A policeman came forward to ask him, âYou were the last one to come out. What exactly happened?â
The young man shook his head, suddenly shouting loudly, âSomeone, someone wants to kill me.â
Eudora Georgeâs heart sank. âWhat? What did you see?â
âI saw someone throwing something at the window, and then it started to catch fire!â
Christopher Gellert was shocked. âAre you sure?â
The police immediately sealed the scene and began to look for traces. They began to inquire everyone who was present in detail, asking each of them if they had any grudges or conflicts with anyone.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing of that sort. When it was Christopherâs turn, Eudora had already turned around and ran out.
It must be Amos Granger, it must be him.
His voice was still reverberating in her mind. He said, âI wonât let him go!â
â¦â¦
As soon as Amosâ car arrived at the gate of the company, a figure suddenly flashed out from the front.
The driver was startled, he stepped on the brakes immediately.
âItâs Miss George!â
Amos frowned when he saw the woman who suddenly ran to the front of the car. She was battered and her hair was in a mess. She was no longer that lazy little kitten, like she used to be in his memory.
Amosâ eyes darkened and he said, âIgnore her. Just keep driving.â
The driver was nervous. âButâ¦â
âI said, keep driving!â Amos said, gnashing his teeth.
The driver nodded and started the engine. Unless she was an idiot, or else anyone wouldâve backed away when they saw the car coming.
But there was really such a person in the world. She continued standing in front of the car even though she saw the car coming.
Seeing how the car was already less than 20 centimeters away from her, the driver couldnât help but stop the car!
Amosâ nervous heart finally settled down, and anger surged in his heart all of a sudden. He pushed the door open and got off the car.
âDo you know what youâre doing?â
Eudora looked at Amos coldly. âItâs you. You asked someone to burn down our warehouse. Amos, why would you do this? I was the one who insisted on separating from you. If you want revenge, just do it on me, why did you have to involve other irrelevant people?â
âSo she came here for this huh?â He thought.
âHaâ¦â The man sneered and said, âSo you ran all the way here just for Christopher?â
âAmos!â Eudora gnashed her teeth. âWhy do we have to involve others when itâs clearly our problem? Even if Christopher never existed, did you think we would still be together? Stop lying to yourself! We had no future together from the moment you brought Wendy Liam back!â
âAs Iâve said, thereâs nothing between us!â Amos gnashed his teeth. âWhy must you dwell on Wendyâs existence?â
Why would she?
Eudora put on a faint smile. âYou donât understand. In this world, no woman would accept the existence of another woman with their man. Amos, between her and me, you could only choose one!â
He could only choose one!
He had to repay his life benefactor.
Butâ¦
Before Amos finished his words, a car rushed over from behind him. Christopher got out of the car, pulling Eudora behind him. He looked at Amos warily.
âWhat are you trying to do?â Christopher questioned.
Amos looked at Christopher coldly and said, âThis is between me and her.â
âThe two of you have already separated, donât you dare touch Eudora!â
Amos suddenly laughed. âEudora, was this the irrelevant person you mentioned?â He almost believed her words.
Eudora frowned and hurriedly went to pull Amos. âAmos, itâs not what you think it is. It really has nothing to do with Christopherâ¦â
âDonât touch me!â Amos pushed her away. âI hate dirty women.â
A dirty woman!
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She just called her a dirty woman.
Christopher instinctively stretched out his arm to punch him, but he was pushed away by Amos.
âSecurity! Arenât you guys going to take them away?â
Seeing this, the security guards at the door quickly gathered around to escort Eudora and Christopher out together.
When there were only the two of them left, Christopher panicked and asked, âAre you alright?â
Eudora shook her head, but her heart was blank.
âWhy would you come here all of a sudden? Luckily I reached here on time! Did the matter today have something to do with Amos?â
Eudora paused, and shook her head subconsciously. âNo.â
Christopher did not say anything else either.
After the duo left, Amos called Clint Zuckerberg. âThe construction site of the warehouse was on fire. Do you know whatâs going on?â
Clint nodded. âAccording to the news weâve just received, the police are still investigating on it, and we donât know what happened exactly yet!â
Amos nodded and said, âKeep an eye on this.â
âOkay!â
â¦â¦
After returning to the apartment, Eudora couldnât fall asleep. She was lying in bed, tossing and turning.
Her brain replayed the scene over and over again. When Amos watched her leave with Christopher, he looked as if he wanted to eat them alive.
After staying in bed till midnight, Eudora eventually sat up.
She suddenly felt that her future was filled with uncertainty. She didnât know how to move forward.
She didnât have a penny on her, in fact, she didnât even have a place to go.
The night passed, and soon it was dawn.
The next day, Eudora received the notice of the final round of the design competition, and they were going to start the recording in the evening.
As soon as Eudora arrived at the company in the morning, Christopher said, âArenât you going for the recording in the evening? Donât worry, I can handle the company alone!â
Eudora frowned, âAny progress regarding the warehouse?â
âTheyâre still investigating it. Iâll inform you immediately if there are any updates!â Christopher replied.
Eudora nodded, slightly opening her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words back eventually.
To this moment, she still couldnât get herself to say that Amos might be the culprit behind this incident.
âThe company might get busy in the evening, so you all should just stay put instead of coming to watch the competition. Iâll call to inform you when I have the results.â
âOkay!â Christopher nodded.
â¦â¦
In the evening, at the recording hall.
After going through the rehearsal, Eudora returned to the backstage. She actually held great expectations for the competition. She had made her decision last night. If she didnât want to drag Christopher into trouble, she would have to leave Everpeace Group.
But with her current capabilities, if she really wanted to leave Everpeace Group, or even Rosaville City, she must win the competition.
When she first participated in the competition, she remembered that the winner would be sponsored to go to the United States for further studies.
Coming to this thought, Eudora took a deep breath.
Someone outside suddenly shouted, âMiss George, someone is looking for you!â
Eudora was startled. âDid Christopher and the others not listen to her suggestion perhaps? Did they come eventually?â
With a helpless sigh, Eudora plastered on a smile, and went out.
The next second however, the smile on her face froze on her lower lip. The person who came was not Christopher, but Wendy Liam.
It seemed that her complexion had gotten better recently. She was no longer as pale as before, and she looked like an independent woman of some sort.
Seeing Eudora, Wendy took two quick steps forward to squeeze Eudoraâs hand.
âMiss George, long time no see.â
Eudora furrowed her brows. âIf youâre only here to say this, then I donât think we have anything more to say to each other.â
