Amos was dumbfounded, so Harley shouted at him again. âAre you listening?â
âTell me, what happened?â
âItâs about the Nolan family. They have found new evidence proving that Charlie was the one who shot Tyler dead. Not just that, they even suspected that Charlie was acting per your instructions! Iâve also heard that the department has already sealed the evidence. I planned to keep this matter hush at first, but I knew that Charlie didnât have the intention to kill anyone. Thatâs why Iâm telling you about this.â
Amos took a deep breath and replied, âI see.â
âAmos, what are your thoughts on this? We have to think of a plan now. The Nolan family is about to rise again. If we continue like this, weâll just be sitting ducks!â
Amos frowned. Finally, he blurted out, âAlright, I get it!â
Harley was getting impatient. âI hope that you do. Otherwise, youâre in grave danger this time.â
After a slight pause, he continued, âWhy donât you go to Eudora? Make it clear to her and request her to withdraw her complaint. As long as she does so, perhaps there is still room for a comeback on this matter.â
Harley spoke again when he noticed that Amos had remained quiet.
âYou couldnât bring yourself to do that, could you? Iâll go, okay? Iâll talk to her for youâ¦â
âHarley!â Amos stopped him immediately, âIâll take care of it.â
âForget it!â Harley felt helpless. âYou win. You seem to lose your senses whenever it comes to that woman. Forget it. I donât want to meddle in your business anymore. My wife has asked me to go home for dinner, so Iâm leaving now!â
Amos got up and walked to the window after Harley left. He looked at Eudoraâs bedroom and wondered if she knew about the evidence that the Nolan family had found and if she believed it.
â¦
Meanwhile, Eudora had also gotten wind of the news. After returning from Samuelâs place, her head was filled with various marketing plans for the milkshake shop.
The inspiration had actually come from Amos. He had received considerable attention from the ladies when he was hanging out with children because of reverse psychology.
He was a person who rarely smiled, hence, when he smiled warmly all of a sudden, the average person would find it adorable at first glance.
A magical scene popped into Eudoraâs imagination the moment she thought of this.
A group of purportedly fierce gangsters suddenly smiling and advising people to take care of the public property and be thrifty⦠it would be an adorable scene, wouldnât it?
As soon as this reverse psychology methodology succeeds, their reputation would rise as well.
Eudora finally made up her mind after weighing the possibilities. She immediately held a meeting with the relevant departments and requested them to create a webpage.
The top of the webpage showed an authoritative statement to the youth.
-âStudy hard and improve every day.â
The IT specialists from the department were going crazy. âMiss Eudora, are you serious? The Holt family has been known for their notorious background and the type of people it has since a long time ago. The entire Greene City knows it. If we do this now, we will look like idiots.â
Eudora was persistent as she replied, âJust do it.â
She was the boss now, and the department manager didnât dare to refute it. However, the manager disagreed.
She heaved a sigh after seeing Eudora leaving.
âIt looks like the Holt family is really losing its game!â
The moment Eudora went outside, she saw Leslie running towards her breathlessly.
âMiss Eudora, Iâve finally found you.â
âUncle Clarke!â Eudora laughed. âWhatâs wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Come to my office and have a drinkâ¦â
âNo, thank you. This has to do about Mr. Holtâs case. Weâve finally found a lead!â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat. She blurted out, âWhat happened?â
âI was right. Charlie was instructed by Amos to kill Mr. Holtâ¦â
Eudoraâs mind went blank, and she exclaimed, âThatâs impossible!â
How could it be possible? She couldnât believe itâ¦
Leslie said earnestly, âMiss Eudora, I know that you still harbor some feelings for President Granger, but your judgment mustnât be clouded when youâre facing such a big issue. You are the head of the Holt family now, and everyone in the Holt family is watching your every move all the time.â
âBut, Amos has no reasonâ¦â
âHe does!â Leslie sighed. âWe found evidence that Amos did it for his project. He wanted to gain a firm foothold in Greene City. Harley Louis is Amosâs friend. Consider why he had suddenly taken over the investigation of the Nolan family. The Nolan family and the Holt family are the only rivals for the development of Valiant East in Greene City. Theyâd already defeated the Nolan family, and the next one would be the Holt family. Miss Eudora, please open your eyes to the truth!â
Eudoraâs heart was in turmoil. Although she was no longer together with Amos, Tyler and Amos were people she held dearly in her heart.
They were her only family in this world.
Yet, at this moment, she was told that one of her loved ones had killed the other. How could this be possible?
âUncle Clarke, Iâm sorry. I need some time to calm down, alone!â
Leslie frowned. âMissâ¦â
Eudora no longer paid any attention to Leslie and shut herself in the office.
She stared blankly at the ceiling after throwing herself on the sofa. Her mind was empty.
All of a sudden, her world had been upended and she did not even know what the truth was anymore. It was as if at that moment, many things that she had once believed in firmly had changed.
It was completely different from what she had imagined.
She didnât know how long she had stayed in that position until she heard a knock outside. Eudora was startled and she glanced at the window. The sky was already dark.
Eudora took her phone hurriedly, thinking that Juju might be worried about her. However, her phone had already died. No wonder there werenât any incoming calls.
She packed her things in a rush and left. Fabian was standing outside her office the moment she opened the door.
âEudora, are you a right? Uncle Clarke told me that you locked yourself up here for the whole day. I was so worried! Iâm glad that you are alright.â
Eudora subconsciously took a step back. âIâm fine.â
Fabian retracted his hands awkwardly. âThatâs good then. I know why youâre sad. Iâll ask someone to handle this matter, so donât you worry about it! I hope that, when this matter is finally settled, you will be able to see me as the most suitable person for you.â
Eudora didnât say anything else and went straight out.
When she reached home, she saw that Juju was indeed anxious. Although she had maintained a stubborn demeanor, her reddened eyes were obvious.
Eudora held Juju in her arms dearly. The first thing that came into her mind was that both Juju and Sugar Bun would be the most pitiful people in the world if Amos was indeed the person who had plotted against Tyler.
