Eudoraâs actions were too fast. Before Hodge could react, the bottle of wine had fallen to the ground with a bang. It smashed into pieces.
The red liquid in the bottle splashed out instantly. It looked as though blood had been spilled all over the floor.
Eudora instantly felt better.
Tyler was so angry that he stretched his hand out and pointed at Eudora. âHow dare you!â
Eudora gritted her teeth. âSo what? Are you trying to threaten me? Too bad! Iâm all alone now, so you have nothing else to threaten me with!â
âWait! I still have you! You are now my only family left. What do you think about that? Are you satisfied now? Have I fulfilled your possessive desires? Youâd better threaten me with your life! Donât worry, I wonât show any weakness!â
She took a deep breath and made her way upstairs in a rush.
Tyler stood there, in a daze, before finally coming back to his senses. âWhat is wrong with that girl!â
All the servants in the house looked at Eudora with their mouths agape. They looked at her as though she was a ghost.
There was not a single person in this world who had ever, or could ever resist him. Tina had once tried to argue with him, but Tyler did not let her get her way.
Tina was locked up in the conservatory for three days as a result. She did not have anything to eat or drink for those three days.
Miss Tina had never talked back to Tyler ever again ever since that incident.
â¦
Eudora locked herself in her room after she got upstairs. She stared at the ceiling in a daze.
However, her mind was filled with memories of the vacation she had with her friends.
They were all so happy at that time, and they did not have any difficulties in their lives either. They had a relaxing evening in the hot springs and even went for a drink together!
Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks.
She could hear someone knocking on the door with force, and Hodgeâs anxious voice came from outside.
âMiss Eudora, this is bad! Mr. Holt has fallen ill!â
Eudora frowned. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes and got up to open the door.
âIf he is ill, just call a doctor. Why are you calling for me?â
She felt nothing for Tyler at all at this moment, not even after knowing the fact that he was her biological father.
However, when she thought of how cruel he was when he broke her family apart and introduced her to Fabian, she got even more furious.
Hodge was very anxious. âOf course we have called a doctor, but he refused to let the doctor see him!â
âYou should think of ways to get the doctor to treat him then! What makes you think that he would accept the treatment just because Iâm there?â
Eudora thought that they were trying to gain sympathy points. She had seen it on television too many times before!
She then slammed the door with a loud bang.
Gradually, footsteps came running around the house. Eudora thought that Hodge must have thought of a way, so she did not care about this matter anymore.
However, someone knocked on the door again after an unknown amount of time.
âMiss Eudora, Mr. Holt has passed out!â
Eudora opened the door once more, and Hodge almost knelt on the ground in front of her. âMiss Eudora, please take a look at Mr. Holt! We have tried everything, but he still refuses to take any treatment.â
âDidnât he pass out? Just treat him now that he is unconscious!â
Hodgeâs face paled. âNo, I only said that on purpose because you seem unhappyâ¦â
Eudora got angrier. âIf he didnât pass out, then he definitely wonât die. Donât disturb my sleep!â
âMissâ¦â Hodge pressed his hand against the door. âMiss Eudora, are you really that heartless? I am just a servant. I donât know what kind of misunderstanding has happened between you and Mr. Holt. But, Mr. Holt is really nice to you!
When you were still in Rosaville City, he sent us a message and asked us to prepare the room for you. You must have seen every part of your room. Mr. Holt had personally chosen everything inside, from the furniture to the decor. He even made us buy all those customize items. Mr. Holt was very happy today. He waited for your return because he wanted to have dinner with you! All the dishes were prepared for you, including the bottle of wine that you had smashed to the groundâ¦
You may say that Mr. Holt doesnât understand you, but you mustnât think that he doesnât care about you! As his daughter, are you really not worried at all?â
Eudoraâs head was buzzing from the annoyance that Hodge had brought to her. She clenched her fists. âAre you going to get up or not?â
He paused, thinking that Eudora might have finally agreed to see Tyler, so he stood up hurriedly with a smile.
âMiss Eudora, over hereâ¦â
It was not as though Eudora didnât know where Tyler was, but she couldnât be bothered to lecture him any more.
In Holtâs residence, Tyler was like an emperor. When he fell ill, his entire kingdom fell into chaos.
Eudora had just reached Tylerâs room, and she realized that almost all the servants in the house had gathered over there.
They were all standing outside Tylerâs courtyard. Even though they could not see him, they still wanted to stay there and watch over him.
When Eudora saw this, she was inexplicably reminded of scenes where all the servants and maids had to die with the emperor if he were to die.
Was there really such a thing in this world?
Hodge seemed to have seen through her confusion, so he called out to the rest of the maids. âMiss Eudora is here. Everything will be fine now. Go back to your jobs quickly. Those who are free may wish to rest for now. Donât stay here anymore. You would only hinder Mr. Holtâs rest.â
After that, Hodge smiled.
âIn truth, these people were all funded by Mr. Holt. They respect him very much in their hearts!â
âFunded?â Eudora repeated in confusion.
âYes, Mr. Holt has always said that the Holt Family is one of the best in Greene City. Since we earn so much money, then we have to do lots of good deeds too. Many of the servants here have difficulties in their families, and Mr. Holt has sponsored them! Not only that, Mr. Holt has been rated as an outstanding man for several years!â
Eudoraâs mouth twitched. Tyler? Outstanding?
Wasnât he just trying to wash his terrible reputation away?
Eudora did not say anything else as she followed him inside. The doctor had already prepared everything by the door, waiting for Tyler to let them in. However, Tyler still refused to open the door no matter what he did.
Of course, they dared not ram the door, otherwise, Tyler might actually kill them alive.
Seeing Hodge had come over, the doctor went up to him hurriedly and welcomed him.
âYouâre finally back. How am I supposed to treat Mr. Holt in the state that he is now?â
Hodge said hurriedly, âDonât worry.â He then went up and knocked on the door. âMr. Holt, Miss Eudora is here to see you!â
There was a slight pause inside for half a second. Hodge thought his plan was going to succeed. However, after a while, he heard Tylerâs furious roar.
âTell her to go back! That wretched daughter!â
After that, he coughed hard a few times. Tyler was already an ill-tempered man, and he tried to tolerate Eudora. But this time, he was furious, and he refused to put up with her anymore.
Hodgeâs face instantly fell. âMiss Eudora, why donât⦠you give it a try too?â
Eudora fell speechless. She could only go forward and knock on the door. âItâs your own body. If you donât care about yourself, no one else could help you.â
They could hear the coughs getting louder, as though his lungs were about to be coughed out. However, he still refused to open the door.
Hodge became anxious. âMr. Holt has asthma! What ifâ¦â
He dared not imagine it. He paced back and forth frantically, considering to pray to God for a miracle.
The next second, Eudora lifted her leg and kicked the door forcefully, and the door⦠was opened.
