Jayden had brought in the note from outside when Amos woke up the next morning.
âPresident Granger, this is a note left by a person called Miss Leon. Would you like to give her a call?â
Amos didnât even raise his head, as though he already knew the existence of the note.
âJust throw it away!â
Jayden didnât know what it was about, but he did as he was told after seeing the expression on Amosâ face.
He wondered if he had meddled too much in President Grangerâs business and made him angry. Should he apologize?
The next second, Amos asked him.
âDo you think that I look good in this outfit?â
Jayden was dumbfounded. What? Did President Granger just ask him if his outfit looked good? What was going on?
Furthermore, President Granger seemed to be blushing.
Was this a new concept of torture? Jayden remembered what Charlie had told him before. President Granger had always been very strict with his bodyguards. He had heard of his former mates being sent to South Africa to dig up coal because of the mistakes they had made.
Jayden paused and said, âPresident Granger, Iâm sorry. Itâs my fault. I wonât pay attention to those insignificant notes next time!â
He just hoped that Amos would stop being so terrifying.
Amos frowned and repeated himself, âIâm asking you about the outfit.â
Jayden instantly lost all hope in life. âYou look very handsome, President Granger!â
âDo you think that she will like it then?â Amos asked again.
Jayden couldnât help but look up at the sky to see if the sun had risen from the west!
âWhat are you looking at?â Amos said angrily. âForget it, you donât have to answer!â
Jayden felt relieved. He turned around and was about to leave. The next second, Amos suddenly attacked him from behind.
Jayden was shocked and he raised his hand hurriedly to fight back. The two soon started fighting each other.
Jayden remembered what Charlie had told him before he came. President Granger was still recuperating, so he subconsciously softened his attack.
However, Amosâ attacks became even more ferocious. âFocus!â
Jayden finally dared not disobey his orders, and they started sparring seriously. Five minutes later, he was knocked down by Amos. âPresident Granger, please show me some mercy.â
Amos looked at him with satisfaction. âHow do you feel about my recovery?â
Jayden was confused.
âItâs⦠itâs pretty good.â
Amos helped him up with a satisfied look on his face. âSince youâve done your best, Iâll give you time off today. You may go to wherever you want to go and enjoy yourself!â
Jayden watched in shock as Amos walked away. Suddenly, one single thought filled up his mind.
Amos really was one of a kind.
â¦
Later in the evening, Eudora, who was all dressed up, followed behind Tyler obediently and let him lead her around in the crowd.
As Tyler had said, the guests attending the banquet were all significant figures in Greene City. They all stared at Eudora, seemingly thinking of ways to scheme against her.
Tyler was a very powerful person in Greene City. Although he left the underworld a long time ago, his business was still one of the best in Greene City.
Many in Greene City were already targeting his adopted daughter in the past, not to mention that now Eudora was his biological daughter.
Before Eudora could make a full turn in the hall, a few guests had already come over to exchange greetings with her.
Eudora frowned, annoyed. âIâm tired.â
Tyler knew that she wasnât in a good mood, so he didnât tell her off. Instead, he instructed his servants, âTake her to rest.â
Soon, a maid came over and took Eudora into the room. Eudora found a very remote corner and buried herself in it.
As soon as she sat down, a plain-looking man walked over to her.
âMiss Holt, may I sit here?â
Eudora frowned. âMy last name is George!â
The man who had approached her, Eden, was unperturbed. He smiled cheekily and said, âAh. It seems that you have adopted your motherâs last name, Miss George. You really are beautiful. Your mother must be very good-looking, right?â
Eudora pursed her lips. âIâm sorry, I have nothing to say to you!â
Eden was a famous young master and heir of a group in Greene City. Girls would usually take the initiative to throw themselves at him, and he had never been rejected by anyone before.
He was arrogant, especially after learning that Eudora was a divorcee and had already given birth to two children.
All of a sudden, he roared rudely, âYouâre really shameless, arenât you? Youâre just a piece of trash. Do you really think that youâre Snow White?â
Eudora stiffened as she glared at the man.
Eden immediately regretted his words. Tyler was not someone to be messed with. Although his family was not afraid of Tyler, they still shouldnât cross the line.
However, his voice was so loud that several others had heard his words. It was too late to regret his actions now.
â¦
At the same time, at the door of the banquet hall.
Fabian and Amos had arrived almost at the same time. When the two love rivals met, their eyes were red in jealousy.
Neither of them spoke and they merely looked at each other. The bodyguards around them noticed that the atmosphere between the two was tense.
All of a sudden, they heard a heart-wrenching roar from a man coming from the inside.
In an instant, the temperature surrounding the two men lowered even further. It felt as though they were in the Siberian winter.
The bodyguards felt a chill on their backs, and they saw Fabian and Amos rushing towards the source of the voice almost at the same time.
Eden, who was still stunned by his own sudden outburst, received a flying kick from Eudora and was given a tight slap by her foot before he could recover from his shock.
âIâve been in a bad mood lately. Blame your own dirty mouth!â
Edenâs sanity disappeared in an instant. He suddenly roared. âYou b*tch, how dare you hit me?â
He then lifted his leg and kicked it towards Eudora. However, before his foot could even reach Eudora, he was hit in the face by a punch, followed by another whirlwind kick, knocking him to the ground.
Eden gritted his teeth and said, âWhat the f**k! Who hit me?â
âItâs me!â
The two men blurted out at the same time. They glared at him icily, seemingly trying to freeze him to death with their gazes.
Like Eden, Eudora was also dumbfounded. She was so shocked that she didnât know how to react.
Why was Amos here? Did Tyler ask him to come to such a dangerous place?
Eden was already rolling on the ground, wailing.
âFabian, just you wait and see. My father wonât let you off the hook!â Turning his head, Eden pointed at Amos. âAnd you! I donât care who you are! My family is not one to be messed with. Even Tyler has to respect my father. This woman is just an illegitimate daughter who had just appeared out of the blue, and yet you guys beat me up for her? Who do you think you are?â
Eden was at the brink of losing his sanity. He couldnât accept the fact that he had just made a fool of himself in public, and that he was even beaten up by the two men in such a humiliating way.
However, just as he finished speaking, he received another two heavy punches on his face.
It was rare for Amos and Fabian to say the same thing at the same time. âIâm her admirer!â
The atmosphere between the two men grew even tenser.
