Complicated?
Amos smiled bitterly.
Why wouldnât he want to make peace with her? However, before the incident of Charlieâs investigation was clear, he couldnât act rashly. It wouldnât be good if he alerted the enemy.
Moreover, she probably didnât want to see him either, right?
Amos frowned and asked again, âHow is she?â
âSheâs fine!â Doctor Leon replied helplessly, âIt was just a scratch, and Iâve already helped to bandage her hand. She just needs to be careful these days to make sure she doesnât touch the wound carelessly!â
Amos nodded and immediately said, âIn that case, youâll be in charge of changing her dressing tomorrow.â
Doctor Leon was confused.
He was perplexed. Didnât Amos hear him? It was just a scratch! Did he really need a professional doctor like him to change her dressing?
However, Amos, this brat, was a nuisance. Fine! Heâd just have to go! After all, he had something to ask Eudora anyways.
Harley quickly arrested Shawn. As soon as he came out, he saw Amos and Doctor Leon standing outside.
âDoctor Leon, youâre just in time. Iâm afraid that the doctor we just called is not as qualified as you. Sorry to bother you. Iâll call someone to bring you in.â
Doctor Leon was speechless. This time, he was indeed called on to check on the visitors.
After Doctor Leon was taken away, Harley sighed and said, âDid you see Eudora as she left just now? Your wife is pretty impressive!â
Hearing this, Amos narrowed his eyes at Harley.
âDo you know who caught Shawn? It was her! When we went in, she had Shawn pinned down on the ground. I donât think any of the female elites among us are as good as her in terms of close combat!â
The frown between Amosâ eyebrows was clearly visible. He frowned, âThere are so many of you here. Were you all standing by doing nothing while letting a woman fight?â
Harley was baffled.
âHey! Amos, youâre going too far! Do you think I refused to do my job? Shawn had taken a hostage, and he insisted on talking to Eudora instead of us! He wanted her to return his familyâs assets to him!â
Speaking about the property, Harley couldnât help rolling his eyes at Amos, âWasnât it you who did it?â
Amos fell quiet.
After Harley was done venting, Amos didnât say a word. He thought that he said something hurtful and fell quiet too.
âHey, I didnât mean it like that! I know that you did it for Eudora. In fact, the Carter family doesnât have many good businesses under them. Even if you didnât take action this time, the higher-ups have already noticed them.â
Amos suddenly asked again, âWhatâs going to happen to him again?â
Harley was speechless.
And here he thought that Amos was feeling upset judging by the solemn look on his face! Amos was probably just thinking of ways to topple Shawn Carterâs business entirely!
âYou donât need to do anything. The Carter familyâs chain of restaurants were already under investigation by the relevant departments for smuggling beef more than a month ago. Once again, Shawn hurt a well-known person this time. I am afraid that he will have to stay in jail for about eight to ten years!â
Amos nodded. He turned around and waved his hand proudly, âThank you for your hard work! Iâll be leaving first!â
Harley was shocked.
This man was really inhumane!

When Eudora returned, Juju had already woken up. When she saw Eudoraâs wound, she became worried.
Juju ran straight back to her room and took out her small gun. She handed it to Eudora and said, âMommy, this is for you. Itâs for self-defense!â
Eudora didnât know whether to laugh or cry, âThereâs no need for that. Mommy is fine.â
Juju frowned as she thought for a while. Then, she said, âThen I will follow you and protect you?â
Then, she held Eudoraâs bandaged hand carefully and blew on it twice.
âMommy, it doesnât hurt too much now, right?â
âYes!â Eudora nodded. Jujuâs eyes lit up as she asked, âThen Mommy, have you taken your medicine? I will go and pour some water for you!â
Eudora had almost forgotten to take her medicine, so she nodded.
With that, Juju served her some water and fed her the medicine. She sat by her side for a while and patted Eudora and the back.
âMommy, do you feel much better now?â
Eudora felt her heart warm up and she laughed, âIâm really feeling much better now!â
As the two of them were talking, Hodge brought Fabian in from outside. Fabian stood in front of Eudora and said, âI heard that you were injured, so I quickly came over to take a look. How did you end up like this?â
Eudora remembered what Malcom had done for Tyler when he died that day, so she was polite to Fabian.
âIâm fine. Itâs just a superficial wound.â
Fabian breathed a sigh of relief, âThatâs good.â
Both of them remained silent for a moment before Fabian asked, âBy the way, did anyone from the police station contact you? What did they say about Mr. Holt?â
Eudora shook her head, âNot yet.â
âHow could they!â Fabian pounded the table and stood up furiously, âObviously, they are hiding something! You can be rest assured that I will help you deal with this matter.â
âNo, thank you! I believe they will give me an answer soon!â
It wasnât that Eudora wasnât angry. After all, she saw that Charlie was the one who shot her father with her own eyes. However, even if she was boiling up, she had to maintain a clear mind at all times.
Charlie and Amos had no reason to lay their hands on her father. Even if she wanted to believe that they were trying to sabotage the Holt family, she had to see the evidence to believe it.
Fabian saw that she was indifferent towards his words and his expression became gloomy. After some time, he said, âYou should get some rest. Iâll go back first and come see you tomorrow!â
Seeing this, Leslie said in a hurry, âMr. Nolan, Iâll see you off!â
Eudora then stood up and watched as Fabian left.
After they left and disappeared from sight, Eudora remembered what she needed from Leslie and told Juju hurriedly, âWait for me here. I need to talk to Mr. Clarke about a few things. Then, Iâll come back to take a nap with you.â
Juju sat on the sofa obediently, âOkay!â
After Eudora went out to chase after them, she saw Fabian and Leslie chatting at the corner of the garden. Just as she was about to go over, she saw Leslie taking out a card and handing it over to Fabian.
âMr. Nolan, this was what Mr. Holt asked me to give you before he passed away. Actually, youâre mistaken. Itâs not that Mr. Holt didnât want to help you, it was just because he didnât want to gamble the Holt familyâs fortune for the sake of Miss Granger and the Young Miss. However, he requested me to sell all the properties in his hands. There are at least thirty million dollars in this card. Use it for now, and just treat it as thanks to the Nolan family on behalf of what youâve done during Mr. Holtâs funeral.â
Fabian was taken aback, âThirty million dollars?â
âAlright!â Leslie nodded.
Fabian was dumbfounded. He rejected Tylerâs card that day because he heard from Tyler that there was not much in the card. He thought it would only be around a few hundred thousand and felt that it was a humiliation.
But now, he felt a little ashamed after listening to Leslieâs explanation.
Leslie noticed that he was quiet and immediately stuffed the card into Fabianâs hands, saying, âMr. Nolan, your business matters are urgent. Please take it so you can settle the matters right away!â
Fabianâs heart was filled with mixed emotions as he asked quietly.
âDoes Eudora know about this?â
