David had indeed neglected a few things when he took on the project. Doing real estate in Greene City was, in fact, just something that came out at the spur of the moment. After that, he was happy to have some free time ever since the Holt Family took over the business.
Following Amosâ advice, he realized that the position their company was in at that moment was quite dangerous. If the Holt Family were truly given a chance to revamp it, then it would be a huge trap in the future.
David frowned, âD*mn it. When I find out those who are trying to frame me, I definitely wouldnât let them off!â
Clint, who was standing by the side, stretched his head out to peer at the contract, âIsnât this beside the Nolan Familyâs project?â
David was taken back.
âIs it the Nolan Family?â
If something were to happen to the project, then the Nolan Family would be the only one that could monopolize such a huge project. In the future, it would be the Nolan Family that would benefit the most.
David snorted, âYou donât have to worry about it. Iâll deal with it.â
âNot anymore!â Amos said in a low voice, âIâll take over this matter personally.â
David was about to say something, but Clint had already held onto his arm, âDavid, didnât you tell me last time that you wanted to tour around Greene City? Why donât you take this opportunity to do so?â
Clint knew Amos best. As long as it was anything related to Eudora, he would not allow anyone else to work on it, at least not without worry. The matter would only be foolproof if he had handled it himself.
David caught Clintâs hint and did not insist anymore.
â¦
Leslie and the others looked at her expectantly when Eudora came out of the hotel. âMiss Eudora, how did it go?â
Eudora shook her head, âIâm sorry, I might have failed!â
Leslie was stunned. Samuel, who was next to him, immediately gave Leslie a disapproving look and tried to change the situation.
âItâs okay. TEM Company is a big company, so their demands might be a little difficult to fulfill. Letâs go back and discuss it again.â
âI suppose thatâs the only way!â Eudora nodded, even though she knew that there wasnât much that could be changed.
However, that project was significant to Holt Familyâs transformation. She didnât want to demotivate the staff.
Eudora and the others worked on the case together once they returned to the office. Leslie couldnât help whispering when he noticed the location stated on the contract.
âMiss Eudora, isnât this quite close to one of the Nolan Familyâs projects? Why donât we ask Mr. Nolan for help?â
Eudora was stunned, âWhat?â
âThe Nolan Family has more construction opportunities than us when it comes to real estate, and the Nolan Family has always occupied a significant position in Greene Cityâs market. Even the scale of TEM Companyâs project this time pales in comparison to the Nolan Familyâs. Rather than putting our money on TEM Company, it would be better to talk to the Nolan Family, and maybe they will help us for the sake of the Holt Familyâs reputation. Otherwise, there wonât be any good from TEM Company too if things were to mess up.â
Eudora frowned, âAre you sure that the Nolan Familyâs project is around this area?â
âYes!â Leslie nodded, âWhen Mr. Holt was still alive, he had a good relationship with Mr. Nolanâs father. I was there when they discussed this matter, so Iâm sure of it!â
What a coincidence!
Eudora sensed that something was off, but she couldnât figure out what was wrong despite thinking about it carefully.
âMiss Eudora, Iâll get in touch with Mr. Nolan right away.â
âForget it! Donât bother!â Between getting disappointed at Amos, Eudora would rather not be involved too much with Fabian if she had to choose.
She was already an adult, and she knew very well how Fabian felt about her. She didnât plan to respond to his feelings. Therefore, it would be best not to ask him for help unless she had no other choice, âThereâs still some space for us to work on it. Letâs wait and see.â
Leslie was about to say something but Samuel spoke first.
âAlright, Leslie. Miss Eudora said there is another way, so letâs wait. Why are you in such a hurry?â
Leslie was taken aback.
He looked at Samuel incredulously. Wasnât he the one who disliked Miss in the beginning? How dare he try to teach him a lesson?
âSamuel, werenât youâ¦â
âHm? Iâve always been like this, havenât I? Iâm not like some people who are easily swayed.â
Leslie was astonished.
Could he be any more shameless?
Eudora watched the two of them arguing and couldnât help recall how Tyler and Malcom used to bicker at each other.
A trace of sadness flashed across her heart. Eudora excused herself and left the room.
Leslie couldnât help muttering after Eudora left, âItâs all my fault, you bad old man. If it werenât for you, why would Miss Eudora be sad?â
Samuel frowned, âHow could you blame me? You were the one who brought up about the past! Donât you know how Mr. Nolan felt about Miss Eudora? Itâs obvious that Miss Eudora hasnât moved on yet!â
Leslie was displeased, âI donât believe that Miss Eudora would forgive the murderer who killed Mr. Holt.â
Samuel glared at him and thought that he was too naive. He stood up and left.
Leslie sighed after Samuel left. Although Samuel was mean, what he said was also right.
Perhaps Miss Eudora still had some expectations of Amos. Or perhaps, she did not believe that Amos was the one who had caused Mr. Holtâs death.
How could that be? She was there to witness when everything unfolded. He was the spectator. It was clear that someone from the Granger Family killed Mr. Holt! He could not let Miss Eudora go astray again.
Leslie took out his phone to call Fabianâs number.
When Mr. Holt was still alive, he would always think of a way to bring Mr. Nolan and Miss Eudora together. Now that Mr. Holt was gone, Leslie thought that it was only right for him to take over that task!
â¦
Meanwhile, Fabian was leaning on the sofa with his phone in hand. It was not until the phone rang that he smirked and calmly picked up the phone.
âItâs me, Uncle Clarke.â
Leslie spilled everything that happened to the Holt Familyâs project to Fabian in a heartbeat. When he was done, he finally added.
âMiss Eudora had personally gone for the negotiation, but it seems that her efforts were in vain. Too many things had happened to the Holy Family for the past few days, and it seemed to have caused her to feel a little powerless. When Mr. Holt was still alive, he always said that youâd definitely help Miss Eudora! Soâ¦â
âUncle Clarke, you are too polite!â Fabian smiled and said, âEudora is my fiancée, I will definitely help her!â
Eudora and Fabian were once slated for an arranged marriage before, but the plan fell through because Eudora disagreed with it.
Leslie didnât expect that Fabian would mention that during such times. His tone was firm too, so his impression of Fabian soared.
âI thank you on behalf of the Holt Family!â
Fabian got up and tidied his clothes after hanging up the phone. Bache approached him hurriedly and handed him his coat.
âMr. Nolan, everything is going according to plan.â
Fabian nodded with satisfaction and said, âLetâs go. Weâll be meeting Amos Granger of Valiant East!â
