Harry Granger smiled calmly and said.
âDonât be angry. After all, Brother is already old. Itâs not surprising if he couldnât see the truth before his eyes.â
âThatâs right!â Kaylene Yoder laughed. âDonât be impulsive. After all, this is a good day for Vincent. As long as he has a place in the Granger family in the future, you would live a good life too. No matter what, you canât embarrass the Granger family, okay?â
Tiffany Leon snorted, âOf course I wonât.â
After that, she left with her chin held high.
Harry and Kaylene exchanged meaningful glances and their eyes were full of schemes.
â¦
Eudora George played with Juju in the back garden for a while, but Amos Granger had yet to arrive. Both of them got a little bored, so they gave him a call.
âWhy havenât you arrived yet? Are you still busy at the company?â
âYes, but itâs a small issue and Iâm dealing with it now. Iâll be there shortly.â
âOh!â Eudora answered softly. Laughter could then be heard from the other end of the phone, âDo you miss me?â
Eudora was taken aback, âWho would miss you?â
âStop lying, sweetheart. Just admit it!â
This guyâ¦Â Eudora quickly hung up the phone.
Concurrently, Amos was in a meeting. Upon hearing his conversation, everyone in the room looked up at him suspiciously.
What was going on? Who was President Granger talking to?
Sweetheart? Was President Granger talking to his child?
At this moment, Amos had already stood up, âStay here and continue with the meeting. Let me know the final results. I have some urgent matters to deal with now, so I have to go first.â
After that, he left the room before anyone could react.
The rest of them stared at each other in dismay.
â¦
After Eudora hung up the phone, she was about to bring Juju into the hall when she saw Christopher Gellert coming in with Tina Holt.
Christopher was walking fast with Tina following behind him.
Christopher smiled when he saw the Juju, âJuju?â
Juju took a glance at Tina who was behind Christopher and said in a pleasant voice, âUncle Gellert, why didnât you wait for the lady? Thatâs not what a gentleman does!â
Christopher did not know what to say.
Tina, who was behind him, immediately agreed, âLittle darling, youâre right. Your Uncle Gellert is not a gentleman at all.â
Christopher frowned, âTina!â
âIâm not talking to you!â Tina turned her head away, âJuju, would you please take me to find a place to sit down? Iâm so tired.â
Juju liked Tina, so she thought of bringing her in. At this moment, Eudora said hurriedly, âJuju, come here. Didnât we agree to go over there just now?â
âButâ¦â Juju stared at Tina. Eudora then replied immediately. âYour Uncle Gellert will take her.â
Christopherâs eyes darkened but he immediately nodded, âYes, I will.â
Tina stared in a daze as Juju and Eudora left.
All of a sudden, a pair of big hands held onto her arm, âLetâs go!â
Tina was surprised, âWhat are you doing?â
âDidnât you say that you are tired? Iâll take you somewhere so you could rest.â
Tina pursed her lips, âNot bad. Iâll try to put in a good word for you in front of Juju next time.â
âThatâs none of your businessâ¦â
The two of them argued as they walked away together.
Only then did Eudora turn around and smile at their silhouette.
At that moment, Tiffany appeared in front of her with a glass of wine in her hands. âWhat happened in the past was just a misunderstanding. Since we will be living under the same roof in the future, I hope that what had happened in the past will not affect our relationship. Let me propose a toast to you.â
Eudora shook her head, âI donât drink.â
Tiffany was taken aback, âAre you not going to forgive me?â
âThis is not a matter of forgiveness. I really canât drink and I have to take care of my child. I have to go first.â
Eudora then immediately left. Tiffany frowned as she stared at Eudoraâs back. Her face gradually darkened. Eudora really was stubborn.
Howeverâ¦
She glanced at Christopher, who was drinking not far away, and her lips curled.
Christopher seemed to be in a bad mood. He drank a lot of wine, one glass after another, and soon, his vision started to blur. Tina was trying to tell him off but he refused to listen. She was so angry that she just wanted to shove him away.
However, in the end, she could not leave him be and got up. She asked a waiter nearby, âDo you have a lounge here?â
They would set up a lounge in case anyone got drunk in such occasions. Therefore, the waiter pointed to a direction and Tina helped Christopher up. The two of them then headed to the lounge.
Christopher could usually hold his liquor. However, it sometimes happened when he was in a bad mood, and that was why he took the advantage of the alcohol to ease his sorrow. Therefore, he became drunk rather quickly.
After lowering him to the sofa, Tina noticed that he was mumbling nonsense under his breath, so she leaned over to listen.
He called, âEudoraâ¦â
Tina immediately sat up straight as if she had heard something she should not.
She was a little upset and got up hurriedly. Just as she was about to leave, Christopher suddenly pulled her back, âDonât go, please donât go.â
That man exerted a lot of strength so he managed to pull her over and pin her under him. Tina was anxious and angry. She pushed him away instantly and opened the door to leave.
When Eudora went to the bathroom with Juju, she bumped into Tina when she came out.
Her cheeks were red and she was washing her face at the basin. When Juju saw it, she walked over to Tina and asked, âAuntie, are you feeling unwell?â
âAh, no!â Tina shook her head.
Eudora seemed to have noticed something, hence she said, âJuju, why donât you talk to Auntie for a while? Mommy is going to the bathroom.â
âOkay! Auntie, shall we go outside?â Juju had a conversation with Tina as they went out.
Tinaâs mood would surely recover soon with Juju next to her. Just as she was about to return to the bathroom, a figure suddenly appeared from a dark corner. The next second, she heard a thud and everything went black.
â¦
Meanwhile, the banquet was about to begin. Old Master Granger looked around and frowned slightly.
âWhereâs Amos? This is such an important occasion, but why isnât he coming? What on earth is on his mind?â
Harry replied hurriedly, âWell, I donât know. Iâll call him immediately.â
âWhat about Juju and Eudora? None of them pay any attention to family matters. What are they thinking?â
Seeing that the Old Master was about to get angry, Kaylene said hurriedly, âEudora and Juju were here just now. Maybe they went to the bathroom? Iâll ask someone to check on them nowâ¦.â
Bethany reached out and patted the Old Master on the back, âThey didnât mean that. Donât be angry. Come and take a sip of water.â
The Old Masterâs expression softened a little and he picked up his glass to take a sip of water.
However, before he could swallow it, the person who had gone to look for Eudora had returned.
âOld Master, Miss Georgeâ¦â
The Old Master was taken aback, âWhatâs wrong?â
Kaylene immediately chipped in, âJust say what you have to say. Stop stammering.â
