In the hospital.
In the middle of the night, the hospital ward was hot and steamy.
Wendy glanced at the man who was working hard on top of her with slight contempt, but her body skillfully embraced him.
When everything was over, Wendy leaned to the side and whispered in a seductive voice.
âCaleb, you said that you have made all the arrangements. Youâre not lying, right? Amos Granger is a capable person, Iâm worried that heâs starting to suspect me!â
Caleb played with Wendyâs hair with one hand and grinned evilly.
âDo you doubt my ability?â
Wendy shook her head hurriedly. âOf course not!â
âReally?â He was obviously amused by her obedience as he thrust into her again. âBaby, in order to verify what you said, letâs do it again!â
Frowning, Wendy hurriedly pushed him away. âThis is a hospitalâ¦â
âItâs three oâclock in the middle of the night. No one will come.â
Soon, heavy breathing was heard again in the dark, quiet ward.
â¦
In Valiant East, Clint had put a file on Amosâ desk, and his expression was very serious.
Amos opened the file and started to flip through it, and his face gradually became ugly as he skimmed through the pages.
âCaleb Chuck?â
âYes, thatâs him. The investigation shows that heâs wanted by the underworld in Brooklyn.â
Inside the file, many of his evil deeds were recorded.
In the end, Clint could not bear to see it. âIt turned out that Miss Liam was taken away by Caleb after she was rescued from the basement. She has been living in his shadows over the years. Before we found her, she had not seen the light for many years. Perhaps it was because of this that she got her sickness. Moreover, it was said that Caleb was possessive. He might have done this in retaliation because Miss Liam was brought back by us. He couldnât accept it, so he devised such a plan.â
Amos frowned and said, âI see! Give the information to the police!â
He suddenly remembered that there were endless humiliation and fear in that dark room. The girlâs bright eyes were like a beacon in the dark. At that time, he thought that if he had a chance to escape, he would repay her even if it cost his life.
However, later on, he first met Eudora George.
After Eudora came into his life, he realized that he didnât want to mention the past anymore. He only wanted to live a normal and peaceful life with her.
However, reality still brought Wendy to him again.
He stood up in silence and said, âLetâs go to the hospital.â
â¦
In the hospital, Wendy was still lying in bed with an expectant look on her face.
When she saw Amos, she hurriedly sat up. âAmos, youâre here.â
Amos simply nodded. âThe doctor said that you have almost recovered and you could be discharged soon. Clint will help with the discharge procedure. I will send you back later.â
Wendy was delighted. Amos didnât like interacting much with her before, but now he was suddenly willing to send her home.
âThank you.â
Amos shook his head. âThe previous apartment is a little small. You could move to a bigger house if you want to.â
Wendyâs eyes lit up. âAmos, are you willing to marry me?â
Looking at her eyes, Amos suddenly remembered how Eudoraâs eyes also lit up when he proposed to her.
He suddenly felt a pinch in his heart and said blandly, âEven if we donât get married, I could still take care of you.â
âThatâs not the same,â Wendy said in a hurry. âI know youâll take care of me, but I wonât feel as secureâ¦â
A sense of securityâ¦
Amos frowned and said after a long time, âOkay.â
âAmosâ¦â Wendy was so happy that she was about to pounce on him, but Amos immediately held her down. âYou should take care of your health.â
âIâm all right, Amos. I want to get married as soon as possible, okay?â She was worried about unforeseen circumstances happening before the marriage. She would only be at ease once they got married.
âYou should decide it!â Amos said.
Wendy pursed her lips. He was still so indifferent. However, it didnât matter. They would be together for a long time. Once she became Mrs. Granger, Caleb would not be able to touch her anymore.
Howeverâ¦
She suddenly frowned again.
âThe Old Master probably would not agree to our marriage, would he?â
âIâll handle it.â
Just as the two of them finished speaking, Clint had already completed the procedure and returned.
After Wendy was sent home, she started looking at dates and discussing it with Amos. He was not in the mood, so he said, âYou should just decide it on your own. I have something else to do.â
Wendy was a little displeased, but when she thought that Amos was going to marry her soon, she stopped fussing over it.
âAh, I wonât disturb you anymore then. Rest early.â
Amos nodded and suddenly said, âWendy, donât waste your feelings on me. The only reason Iâm marrying you is so that you would feel more secure. Since you are willing to accept this, I will grant your wish. However, there is only one person I love. That isâ¦â
âI know!â Before Amos could finish his words, Wendy interrupted him.
âMiss George is a good person. I wonât bring you two any trouble! Amos, I only hope that I have a place where I belong. I donât dare to think about anything else.â
âOkay!â Amos nodded, then turned around and went out.
â¦
Outside the door, Clint looked at Amos with a worried look.
âPresident Granger, you have decided to marry Miss Liam? What about Miss George? Are you going to break up with her?â
Amos frowned when he heard those two words.
No, he would not break up with her.
No matter how shameless or how greedy others might think of him, he would not let her leave him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, âClint, what kind of gift would women like?â
Clint was stunned. âPresident Granger, youâve asked the wrong person. I donât have a girlfriend. However, I think anyone would like it if you gave them what they want!â
âWhat they want?â Amos frowned. After a long while, he opened his mouth.
âSend me to TEM Inc.â
â¦
When the person-in-charge of Rosaville Cityâs TEM Inc saw Amos, he was so shocked that his legs started shaking.
The last time Amos came here, he flew into a tantrum. Now that he had come here again, the person in charge was sure that something had gone wrong again.
Sure enough, he came up to him and said, âPlease show me the contract that Everpeace Group had signed with you.â
The person in charge cursed in his heart, âOh no, that d*mned Everpeace Group again.â
Why was it always Everpeace Group? However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself. He accepted his fate and handed Amos the contract.
While the person in charge was paying attention to Amos, he was trying to recall if there was anything unusual with Everpeace Group as of late.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldnât think of anything.
After some time, the man in front of him finally put down the document and spoke.
âEverpeace Group was an independent group before TEM Inc took it over. Will it be troublesome if I want to appoint a new legal representative for Everpeace Group and have it break away from TEM Inc?â
Huh? A new legal representative?â
How could it not be troublesome? It would be really troublesome.
However, could he tell the boss the truth? Absolutely not. Moreover, as long as he wasnât involved in this trouble, everything would be fine.
He immediately shook his head and said, âNo trouble at all, President Granger. May I know who would you like to appoint to be the new legal representative of Everpeace Group, President Granger?â
Amos pursed his lips and answered, âEudora George.â
