The children were already very tired when Amos brought them back, so they fell asleep soon after.
Amos put them to bed and went to call Wesley.
âTake the children back to Rosaville City. Donât let them watch the news.â
Wesley was stupefied. âMr. Granger, did something happen? Why donât I stay here? Charlie, heâ¦â
âThereâs no need for that! Iâll take care of Charlie. Iâll leave the children to you. You must take good care of them, okay?â
Wesley nodded, âOkay, I will make the necessary arrangements immediately and take them away before Miss Juju wakes up.â
It wasnât until Wesley left that Amos finally gave Clint a call.
âHave you settled Charlie down?â
âItâs done!â
âBring me there!â
â¦
In the suburbs of Greene City was a small and clean villa. Amos saw Charlie lying on the bed with a pale face as soon as he entered the villa.
Charlie struggled to get up once he saw Amos, but Amos held him down instead.
âDonât get up if youâre not feeling well. Iâm sorry. If I knew that you were sick, I would have gotten you out earlier!â
Charlie shook his head, âPresident Granger, you shouldnât have bailed me out. Everyone thinks that I was the one who killed Mr. Holt. Now that youâve spent so much effort to bail me out, Miss George will definitely blame youâ¦â
Amos gave a wry smile, âI canât pay too much mind to that now. Youâve been with me for so many years. I couldnât possibly watch you suffer in front of me. Furthermore, I know that it wasnât you. I believe that Eudora will come to understand it in the future!â
He then glanced at Doctor Leon again and asked, âWhatâs the matter? He has always been in good health. How did he suddenly fall so ill?â
Doctor Leon frowned and replied, âIâm surprised too. His illness this time is very unusual. Iâm guessing that itâs not a disease, but an infection.â
âInfection?â
âYes! But I still havenât found the specific area of the infection.â
Charlie had been by Amosâ side for a long time. They had suffered plenty of injuries doing that line of work. If the infection couldnât be found on the surface, it would be challenging to find its root!
âDoctor Leon, Iâll leave Charlie to you. You must cure him!â
Doctor Leon nodded, âI will, but itâs you who have to take care of yourself. Stop making trouble for me! Iâm already very old. Donât give me too much work, alright?â
Amos said, â⦠Got it.â
Wesley had already taken the children away when he got home. Amos stood in front of the study window and stared at the window opposite him. He could often see Eudoraâs movements in the room every day in the past.
However, at that moment, there was no trace of her at all.
He didnât even know how they had reached the point they were at.
Meanwhile, Eudora was also upset. However, Amos had already bailed Charlie out. She still failed in the end.
She would rather do it herself than wait for Leslie and his men to find her!
With that thought, Eudora drove out.
She saw a big crowd outside the company as soon as she arrived. Everyone was making a fuss, demanding Leslie to give them an explanation.
When they saw Eudora, those people gathered around her and began bombarding her with questions.
âSince Mr. Holt left us just like that, shouldnât you, his daughter, seek justice for him?â
âMr. Holt is watching from the heavens. If he knew about this, he would not let it go!â
Only then did Eudora finally understand why Leslie was in such a hurry. Tyler had built the Holt family with all of those men.
That was why so many people felt so strongly about seeking vengeance for him. If she failed to handle the matter properly, the entire Holt family might fall apart.
Eudora took a deep breath and made up her mind, âEveryone, please be quiet. Iâm here to settle this matter today! No matter what, I will give everyone an explanation and decide the next step by the Holt family.â
Leslie heard the noise and rushed out. He helped Eudora to appease them.
âSince Miss Eudora is here, could you guys put your trust in her? Iâm sure that Miss Eudora will give all of you an explanation today. Let her in first to discuss it together, shall we?â
Finally, everyone took a step back to make way for Eudora.
After Eudora went in, Leslie wiped his sweat away from his forehead and said, âMiss Eudora, how is it? Have you gotten any results?â
Eudoraâs heart skipped a beat, and she remembered Amosâ resolute words.
âSorry, I failed,â Eudora apologized.
Leslie seemed to have expected that result, âMiss Eudora, do you finally understand now? Amos is not as good of a person as you think he is. A businessman will naturally choose the best choice for himself. Since you refuse to let us use violence, letâs sue him instead!â
Eudora was about to say something, but Samuel had pushed the door open from the outside and entered, âI donât agree with that!â
âSamuel, I always knew that you have never respected Mr. Holt. Do you really want him to die that meaninglessly?â
Samuel snorted, âWhat do you mean when you said that I donât respect Mr. Holt? Whatâs the basis for your reasoning? Do you think that the Holt family is still the same as when Mr. Holt was around? If the Granger family could bail Charlie out, they could also do a lot of other things. Whatâs the point of prosecuting them?â
Leslie was taken aback. âWhat do you think we should do then?â
Samuel frowned and glanced at Eudora, âItâs not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years later. I feel that the most important thing right now is to further develop the Holt family. We have been doing very well recently, and all aspects of the Holt familyâs reputation and achievements are rising. We should strike while the iron is hot and strengthen our foundation as well so that we could have a chance to fight against the Granger family in the future!â
Leslie pursed his lips and said nothing. What Samuel had said wasnât unreasonable at all.
âItâs just that what the Holt family is doing right now is still far from enough. We still need to plan for a bigger projectâ¦â
Samuel sighed and said, âMiss Eudora, we still need you to do all these things. So, you must take care of your body!â
Eudora nodded, âThank you, Uncle Chilton.â
Leslie furrowed his brow. âThen, you should marry into the Nolan family! Anyway, that has always been Mr. Holtâs wish.â
Samuel quickly placed his attention on Eudora.
Eudora was flabbergasted, but Leslie felt that it was a brilliant idea.
âThe Nolan familyâs power is already established. As long as we cooperate with the Nolan family, it will be an alliance between the strongest. Would they not care about the Holt familyâs matters after that? When the time comes, we wonât have to wait to keep a low profile, and weâll be able to get justice for Mr. Holt!â
Samuel frowned, and he said, âLeslie, you shouldnât mention things like that!â
âSamuel, youâre the one who wants to go against me. Since youâre only thinking about the Holt family, why donât you look at the subordinates outside? Theyâre all waiting for an explanation! If we donât give them an explanation today, do you think that Miss Eudora will have it easy?â
Samuel gritted his teeth and snapped, âIâll go then! Letâs see if they could eat me up!â
âUncle Chilton!â Eudora quickly stopped Samuel. âUncle Clarke is right. I am the one in charge of the family. I should be the one to handle this matter. How could I let you take care of it for me?â
She turned to face Leslie, âUncle Clarke, I give you my word.â
