Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119 Forced

Eddison was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned with a disgusted expression.

Unexpectedly, that innocent-looking woman had complained about his behavior behind his back.

Sure enough, he should not have trusted Rachel!

He became impatient and said, “She is an adult, and it was still daytime. Why did I have to send her back? I had something else to do!”

“Keep your mouth shut!”

Amos said coldly, “There’s no one as irresponsible as you in the Granger family! You’d better apologize to Rachel immediately! Otherwise, you’re not allowed to enter the gates of the Granger family!”

“I won’t do it!” Eddison stiffened his neck and added, “I didn’t do anything wrong! Why should I apologize?”

“Fine! You’re not going to apologize? Then, don’t regret it!”

Eddison went straight to his room upstairs. “I won’t regret it. There’s no way that will happen!” he thought.

When Eudora saw them arguing so loudly, she wanted to chase after Eddison. However, Amos stopped her and said, “Don’t go! If I don’t teach this kid a lesson, he will never learn!”

Eudora sighed. “Is Miss Gellert alright?” she asked out of concern.

“How could she be alright? She took a taxi home and met with a kidnapper. I heard that she was terrified!”

“Let me go and take a look!” Eudora’s mind was occupied with Rachel’s matter, and she did not look for Eddison again.

After Eddison went upstairs, he immediately took out his bank card and started his operation.

Although their family did not use money unnecessarily, Amos and Eudora treated them very well. Both he and Naomi had their own savings accounts.

However, since Naomi had to rely on herself at the moment, therefore she had given her money back to Eudora. It was the first time in Eddison’s life to use his own savings.

Eddison logged into his account and entered the password as he wanted to transfer the money. In the end, he saw that his account balance had less than four digits.

He thought that he had seen the amount wrongly. He logged in again, but the balance still remained the same!

At the same time, he also received a text message from the bank.

He was told that his account had been terminated!

Only then did Eddison understand the meaning behind Amos’ words just then.

Obviously, he felt angry in his heart, but his self-esteem had taken an even bigger blow.

It was absolutely impossible for him to apologize to his father at such a moment, especially when he was forced to do so in such a way.

He thought about that, stood up and went downstairs again.

Eudora had just prepared some gifts and was going to visit Rachel. When she saw Eddison coming down the stairs, she thought that he had figured things out.

“You’re just in time, so why don’t you come with me to visit Rachel?”

Eddison’s voice became louder as he said, “She complained about me behind my back, so why should I go and visit her? I’m not going!”

After that, he rushed out of the door.

Eudora was stunned for a moment. When she was about to chase after him again, Eddison was already far away.

She could only sigh. Upon seeing the scene, Naomi said, “Mom, I’ll go with you!”

“Alright!” Eudora nodded.

…

The Gellert family was furious at the fact that their precious daughter, Rachel, had been frightened to death because of Eddison’s negligence.

Originally, they had planned for a decent arranged marriage, but Rachel’s parents wanted to give up at the moment.

Although they did not instantly drive Eudora away, they were not too polite when they spoke to her as well.

“The Gellert family is not a match for the Granger family. Mrs. Granger, you’d better go back!”

Eudora tried to put in a good word for Eddison. After all, it was Eddison’s fault and she needed to express their sincerest apologies.

Unfortunately, the Gellert family loved Rachel a lot and would not let Eudora enter to visit her.

In the end, Rachel was informed of such a matter and she came down from upstairs.

“Mom, Dad, I’m fine. Don’t be like this!”

Rachel’s mother, Bianca, hurriedly looked at her daughter and asked, “Why did you come down? Didn’t I tell you to rest?”

“I’m fine! Besides, it’s was me who asked Eddison to go back first! It’s not that he didn’t want to send me home. Don’t blame him!”

Bianca sighed helplessly, saying, “This silly girl!”

It was the first time that Eudora had seen Rachel in such close distance. She finally understood why Amos had chosen Rachel as Eddison’s fiancée.

Although Eddison had been sensible since he was a child, there was still a bit of a rebellious spirit in his heart, which was similar to his grandfather’s.

At first glance, Rachel looked like a well-educated and reasonable girl, especially as she had been well protected by her family. She was as pure as a white rabbit.

If Eddison and Rachel were to get together, they would complement each other in terms of personality. She was a good choice.

Just as Eudora thought about that, Rachel walked over to her quickly and smiled politely at Eudora.

“Are you Mrs. Granger? You came all the way here to visit me? I’m really alright!”

It seemed that Rachel had been given quite a fright and her lips were still pale. However, there was still a smile on her face that told her that she was fine. She was a kind girl.

Eudora’s fondness for her grew a little more. She said, “It’s Eddison’s fault. I’ll teach him a lesson!”

When Rachel’s parents saw that Eudora and Rachel were both fine, they did not make things difficult for Eudora anymore. In the end, they allowed Eudora to sit inside.

After Eudora left the Gellert family house, the first thing Eudora did was to go upstairs to look for Eddison.

However, she did not see him.

She asked Cindy about his whereabouts but Cindy said that he had not returned since he had left his room.

Eudora was anxious as she said, “Where could he have gone? Could it be that he went back to school?”

Naomi saw that Eudora was nervous, therefore she volunteered to search for Eddison.

…

At the moment, Eddison was at Christopher’s place.

He was resilient enough to know that although his family had emptied his savings account, he would not give up. He immediately figured out how to make money on his own.

Christopher was helping his wife to cook, while Eddison was tailing him from behind.

“Uncle Christopher, I don’t need much. I can help you with your company’s administrative matters, as long as you give me the money in advance.”

Christopher did not stop cooking.

He asked Eddison curiously, “You don’t need to go to school?”

“I do, but I don’t need to go to school nowadays. Don’t worry, I won’t just be working for you for a while. After you lend me money, I’ll keep working for you. Even after I graduate from college, I’ll still work for you until you feel that I’ve paid you back!”

Christopher became even more curious.

“Why are you so short of money suddenly? Where’s the savings that your father gave you?”

“I…” Eddison grunted before saying, “I don’t want to rely on my family anymore. I want to rely on myself!”

“That’s great!” Christopher smiled and said, “How much do you want?”

He thought that Eddison was acting on an impulse and wanted to tease him. Therefore, he took the opportunity to ask him.

Eddison showed five of his fingers and smiled.

“Fifty thousand? No problem, ask your Auntie Tina to give it to you. I’m busy now!”

Eddison shook his head and said, “500, 000 dollars!”

Christopher frowned and felt that the situation was a little serious. Such an amount was not too much, but as a student, Eddison had always been thrifty, and was not the same as the other rich children from rich families.

His family had arranged all his meals, clothing, residence, and transportation for him. His daily expenses were almost the same as that of an average overseas students.

“What happened to you? Did you get into any trouble?” Christopher asked as he stopped cooking.
