Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Losing Her Cool

Eudora felt some dampness on her shoulder when she was hugging Juju.

Flustered, she grabbed Juju’s shoulders anxiously.

“I’m sorry, Mommy, but you should not have come back so late!”

She had initially thought she came home slightly later than usual, but she didn’t know that Juju had been waiting for a long time.

Juju sniffed and said, “I tried to call you many times, and Uncle Hodge had helped me to call you several times too. Mommy, I thought that you have abandoned me.”

Eudora’s heart tightened. “No, I would never do that. How could I?”

“But everyone said that it was Daddy who hired someone to kill Grandpa. Mommy, you and Daddy are never getting back together again, right?”

It seemed that she knew about this matter too!

Hodge explained hastily, “I’m sorry, Miss Eudora. I did not expect Miss Juju to overhear the maids talking at the garden today. They didn’t intend for this to happen…”

Eudora frowned. “Go back to work!”

She glanced at Juju seriously after Hodge left.

“Juju, listen to me. Even if your Daddy and I can’t be together, all of this will not change either. I am still your mother, and he is still your father!”

Juju stared at Eudora blankly. “Really?”

“Of course! We will always be a family. Even if there is something between your Daddy and me, it has nothing to do with the both of you!”

“But…” Juju furrowed her brows tightly. “Daddy would never hurt Grandpa! Back then, when you came back with Grandpa, I once said that it was Grandpa’s fault for taking you away. Daddy taught me that Grandpa is still your father. Therefore, no matter what happens, I still have to respect Grandpa.”

Eudora was taken aback. She never knew that Amos would say something like that.

She stroked Juju’s head and nodded. “I understand now! I will keep your words in mind, Juju.”

…

Meanwhile, Fabian was standing in front of the window as he held a glass of red wine with his long, slender fingers. He looked at the night scene outside the window and enjoyed the occasional sip of dry Cabernet.

Standing next to him was his lawyer, Skye, who was also holding a glass of wine in his hand with a smile.

“Mr. Nolan, I have turned the tables around as you wished. Are you satisfied with the outcome?”

Fabian hummed as a reply. “Quite satisfied indeed. It seems that it was the right decision for me to have placed my trust in you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Nolan!” Skye chuckled, “Mr. Nolan, you are such an outstanding talent. I’ve clearly seen it this time around. Just a few days ago, people were saying that the Nolan Family would have absolutely no way out this time. But you’ve already turned the tide within a few days, Mr. Nolan. I really admire you!”

Fabian snorted. “There’s no need to say such nonsense. I will arrange for the rewards you deserve. However, there is still one matter that you haven’t done enough!”

Skye was dumbfounded. “I don’t understand, Mr. Nolan.”

Fabian smirked. “Do you not know that you could also kill a person with words instead of using a knife?”

Skye’s eyes lit up. “I understand! Rest assured, Mr. Nolan. I will definitely make things work!”

Fabian didn’t add anything further. He replayed the change in Eudora’s expression when she heard the news that it was Amos who killed Tyler, in his head.

Even to point of time, she was still in denial.

Their feelings for each other were enviable.

Eudora didn’t believe it because he was the one who broke the news to her. Would she continue to deny it if the whole world were to sing the same song?

…

Eudora woke up early the next day and sensed an awkward atmosphere in the house. Not a single person glanced her way. It was as though they were trying to avoid her.

Eudora glowered. She thought that perhaps they were worried that she would reprimand them for speaking unnecessarily in front of Juju the night before. She decided to pay no attention to their strange behavior.

It was only when she was about to leave the house after breakfast that a group of reporters surrounded her car.

She was afraid that she would hit someone if she were to drive off, thus she tried to get off the car to take a look. As a result, she was curbed by a series of questions.

“Miss George, as we all know, Amos is your ex-husband. Did you break up with him because of your father?”

“I heard that your father doesn’t like Amos. Was that why he asked you to divorce him?”

“Then, I’m sure that he must hate your father very much, right? Are the rumors on the Internet true? Did Amos send someone to assassinate your father?”

Eudora’s brain was buzzing, and all of sudden, she was at a loss for words.

The reporters continued to fire questions at her. “Miss George, you don’t look depressed. Does that mean that the rumors are true? It was your father who wanted you to break up with Amos. Was this something that you had discussed with Amos beforehand? I heard that you and Mr. Holt were together when it all happened…”

This question had indeed crossed the line. Eudora’s brows were tightened into a knot, and she was about to chastise the reporter. All of a sudden, someone squeezed in from the crowd and punched the reporter in the face.

“As a media reporter, all you do is speculate about others. Do media reporters nowadays work without evidence?”

Eudora glared at Amos coldly and wondered why he had appeared all of a sudden.

At this moment, the reporters returned into their initial uproar.

Both the male and the female lead, who were rumored to be accomplices in the case, had appeared next to each other. What could be more exciting than that?

“President Granger, does your sudden appearance indicate that you still care about Miss George very much? What do you have to say about the rumor on the Internet?”

Amos frowned. “Since all of you are desperate for my answers, then I shall clarify once and for all! As for the first question, Miss George and I are still husband and wife. Although we are separated now, she is still the mother to my children. If anything were to happen to her, it’s a given fact that I would come to her aid. As for the next question, I have nothing else to say but only that truth will prevail! Time will prove everything!”

After finishing his speech, Amos nudged Eudora from the back as he managed to open the car door that the group of reporters was blocking initially. Then, he shoved Eudora into the car before closing the door.

Eudora subconsciously looked back and noticed that Amos had mouthed two words to her from the outside.

“Be careful!” She had the urge to open the car door and leave with Amos, but he had already turned his head away and was no longer looking at her.

Considering that he might have other plans in his mind, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Amos watched as Eudora’s car drove out of the crowd. He turned his head back at the scene once the car was far away.

The reporters next to him were all looking at Amos in excitement.

“President Granger, judging from your actions just now, I’m sure we all understand what’s truly going on here. Is there anything else you would like to explain?”

Amos snickered and answered the reporters, “No comment!”

…

After Eudora left, she drove back to the company.

She saw the billboard screen outside the office building as soon as she arrived at the entrance. It was displaying the scene of Amos rescuing her.

Her assistant, Quinn, immediately switched off the screen upon seeing Eudora. “Miss George.”

Eudora pursed her lips. “Where’s the person-in-charge of the network department? Call them in for a meeting.”

Quinn looked at Eudora in surprise. He didn’t expect that she could still stay calm at such a time!

At the meeting, the head of the network department reported the progress of the website.

“We had done some research and concluded that the idea you proposed yesterday is not appropriate, so we…”

Eudora suddenly sneered and threw the pen on the table before he could finish his sentence.

“What did you say? Are you saying that my idea is useless?”
