Bethany Hamilton paused for a moment and there was a trace of disappointment on her face.
âDo you still remember when the Old Master almost fell from the mountain the last time?â
Everyone nodded, âFortunately, someone saved the Chairman.â
âYes!â
The crowd said in unison.
Bethany sneered, âBut donât you think that itâs too coincidental? The Old Masterâs wheelchair was perfectly fine, but there was a problem with it somehow that day. Moreover, at that time, the Old Master was very rude to Eudora, and he only accepted her later on because of that incident.â
Hearing her words, everyone was stunned. Then, they all looked at Amos and said, âPresident Granger, thisâ¦â
Amos frowned, âEudora wouldnât do such a thing.â
Bethanyâs lips twitched, âWell, it may have been a coincidence last time, but what about this time? At that time in the amusement park, she was the only one who was with the Old Master. But it was so coincidental that the Old Master ended up having another episode. What do you have to say about it then?â
âIt really is very coincidentalâ¦â
Someone said.
The rest of the people also started murmuring amongst themselves.
âThis is a big deal. We shouldnât act so sloppily. President Granger, this matterâ¦â
They finally revealed their true selves and Amos instantly flipped.
âAh, so this is your plan all along!â
Bethany frowned, âWe are only telling the truth.â
Steven Granger also added, âAmos, itâs not unreasonable for Aunt Bethany to say that. Eudora, sheâ¦â He then paused, âItâs indeed too coincidental.â
Amos remained mum, âWhether these things are a coincidence or an accident, letâs not talk about it for the time being. Letâs go to the police station if you have the evidence to prove it. If you donât, then just drop it. If I hear someone speaking about such things again, donât blame me for being rude.â
Amos had always been a direct and blunt person. When he spoke, everyone was so scared that they did not dare to talk back.
Bethany and Steven didnât intend to use Eudora as their main plan. Their main purpose of bringing her up was to break down Amosâ prestige in the company.
At this point, Bethany didnât say anymore but merely gave a faint answer, âThis is the reason why I am giving my shares to Steven. You all may judge by yourselves.â
After that, she sat down.
Amos said, âWell, youâd better prove the authenticity of your will first before anything else!â
Everyone felt as though they had been woken up from a dream. For a moment there, they had forgotten about the fact that the Old Master had suddenly come up with two different wills when Bethany interjected.
âWhat the hell is going on?â Director Quartley asked.
Attorney frowned, âThe will I have in my hands is the genuine one! There will be absolutely no problem! We could have it verified by a notary.â
Bethany did not back down, âMy will is also genuine, and we could have it verified by a notary too.â
Everyone was still doubtful, âWhy did the Old Master make two wills? Itâs so strange!â
âWhatâs so strange about that? When the Old Master made the first will, his health wasnât as bad. But later, he experienced a lot of things and he eventually changed his mind. Is that such a big deal?â
Director Quartley pursed his lips, âWhy donât we just verify both wills with the notary?â
However, Amos felt that things were not so simple. Bethany had been by his fatherâs side for so many years. Now that she had taken this step, she must have arranged everything flawlessly. It would probably be useless to verify it with a notary.
He frowned.
All of a sudden, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and took a look at it. It was Eudora.
Amos simply got up and said, âIâll have to answer this call. You guys can discuss it slowly.â
Then, he went out.
âWhatâs wrong?â
After a moment of silence, he heard Tinaâs voice, âPresident Granger? Oh no, something has happened to Eudora!â
Amos felt a chill in his heart, âWhere are you? Iâll be there right away.â
â¦
On the other side, Eudora went to Christopherâs place after Amos and the others left in the morning. She hadnât been to the construction site for the longest time after handing over the drawing the last time. Hence, she decided to drop by to take a look since she had some free time.
Since Christopher was not at the company, Eudora and Tina went to the construction site together.
Most of the amusement facilities had been halted at the construction site. Eudora went there to inspect for any mistakes to ensure the safety of the facilities.
Tina seemed to notice that Eudora was sweating, so she went to fetch her some water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked away, she saw a piece of hanging equipment shaking.
She shouted, âBe careful.â
However, it was too late, and the rope securing the equipment snapped.
When Amos arrived at the construction site, Eudora was already unconscious, and her face was covered with blood.
Fortunately, the equipment didnât hit anyone, but when Eudora ran away, she tripped and hit her head on the stone next to her.
Amos was in a panic. He covered her bleeding head with his hand. His heart sunk when he thought of everything that happened at the board meeting earlier.
The other party was coming at them aggressively. Although he was not sure whether they were the ones who had done this to Eudora, he knew that they would make a huge fuss about it.
Amos only heard Tinaâs apology, âPresident Granger, Iâm sorry. I failed to protect Eudora.â
Amos shook his head and looked at Eudora in distress.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor did an examination and said that Eudora had a slight concussion. The doctor bandaged the wound casually and arranged for her to be hospitalized.
After everything was settled, Amos sat on the side of Eudoraâs bed, staring at her. Eudora had not woken up yet, and her head was wrapped with bandages.
Christopher rushed over once he heard the news. He saw Amos sitting on the chair with his trousers covered with blood.
To be honest, Christopher used to dislike Amos, because he had easily captured Eudoraâs heart and would always make Eudora sad.
But later, he discovered that there were actually a lot of things in their relationship that outsiders could not see or understand.
At this moment, Amos had already noticed him. He looked at him and got up, âLetâs speak outside.â
Christopher took a quick look at Eudora and went out with Amos.
âI heard from Tina. Something seems strange here. Do you need my help?â Christopher asked.
Amos shook his head and said, âNo, I can handle it myself.â
âThatâs good!â Christopher did not force him. In fact, he had an odd relationship with Amos. Although he did not like him, he had always admired him.
After all, he had the same problem with his father. His father had gotten seriously ill and he would make unreasonable demands now and then.
Although he had given in, Amos could still insist on holding his own. Moreover, he could still keep Eudora and Juju around him. Amos was stronger than him in this aspect alone.
âIf you need help, just say it. Even for Tinaâs sake, I should help you!â
Amos nodded, âOkay!â
A noise came from the inside. Amos was stunned and he pushed the door open hurriedly and went in. On the bed, Eudora had already woken up. However, at this moment, she opened her eyes in confusion. Hearing the noise, she whispered, âAmos? Itâs so dark. Why didnât you turn on the lights?â
