Amos had always had an intimidating aura about him. Even just by standing at the side without doing anything, it was enough to make others tremble with fear.
Let alone now that he was glaring at the woman with anger in his eyes. The landlady froze in fear.
She took a deep breath to calm her nerves/
âWho are you? This woman framed me. Whatâs there to do with you?â
âFramed you?â Amos gritted his teeth, âI did not see her frame you in any way.â
The woman pursed her lips, âWell, too bad for you. I, on the other hand, have seen enough.â
Amos smirked and looked at the bodyguards behind him, âIt doesnât matter. Iâll just act according to what I see now!â
The bodyguards went ahead and started kicking the woman.
She started screaming, and her face and body were scattered with bruises in no time.
Just moments earlier, she claimed that she was a rich person, and an arrogant one too.
âWho the hell are you? How could you do this to me? Weâre not done!â
Amos stopped in his tracks and muttered two words.
âAmos Granger!â
The woman gasped in horror.
She then looked at Eudora, who was in Amosâs arms, and said, âThen sheâsâ¦â
âMy wife! Eudora George!â
The woman trembled. Everyone in Rosaville City knew that Amos cherished his wife. Amos had done countless evil deeds to win Eudoraâs heart, and he succeeded in the end.
Never in her life did she think that she would have offended his wifeâ¦
The landlady recognized the consequences she and her family would face from offending Amos, and she trembled all the more.
She had thought too highly of herself and her family. She was indeed from a wealthy family but compared to the Granger family, her family was nothing.
If her mother-in-law and husband knew what she had done, she would definitely be kicked out!
She went forward hurriedly.
âWait⦠you like this building very much, donât you? Iâm willing to rent it to you. Iâll leave the rent payment to you. You may pay⦠any time you like.â
Eudora did fancy the building, but she wasnât in the mood anymore.
After all that had happened, no matter how much she adored the place, she would not rent it anymore.
Shaking her head, she said, âItâs fine, Iâll search for other places!â
The woman became anxious, âNo, my place has the best location and itâs very close to the Valiant East company. It would be very convenient for you two to meet!â
Amos lowered his head and glanced at Eudora, âIf you like it, Iâll buy it.â
The landlady froze. She was reluctant at first, but on second thought, perhaps it would be better to sell this building off to the Granger family than to suffer the consequences of having offending them.
She turned to look at Eudora eagerly but the latter merely shook her head, âThereâs no need for that.â
Amos nodded, âLetâs go then!â
The woman breathed a sigh of relief. In that case, she would be fine, yes? However, the next second, Amos said to Clint, âThe owner of this building has exploited their power to abuse others. Tell the developer to take this building back. Also, their whole family has been blacklisted. In the future, they are not allowed into any buildings developed by the Granger Family in Rosaville City!â
âYes, Mr. Granger!â Clint said firmly.
The landladyâs legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
â¦
Eudora was quiet. Amos looked at her worried face and whispered, âWhy donât I ask Clint to search more places for you? He has good connections in Rosaville City. We would be able to get a location that you like in no time.â
Clint immediately patted his chest and promised, âThatâs right, Mrs. Granger. Leave it to me!â
Eudora was still quiet. She lowered her head and started counting. Amos didnât know what she was doing and he added, âOr, Iâll buy aâ¦â
Before he could say that he was willing to purchase a building for her, he noticed Eudora looking up anxiously, âAre Juju and Sugar Bun up? Hurry, letâs go home!â
Amos was at a loss for words.
He was afraid that she would be traumatized by the confrontation earlier, but it seemed that she wasnât fazed at all. The only thing in her mind was her children.
He touched the small of her back and said, âYouâre really a sultry little devil.â
Eudora was puzzled.
âWhy did you say so?â
Did she not express her gratitude when he came to rescue her earlier?
Amos was busy, yet he still took the time to look out for her. She should be grateful.
She raised her head and kissed Amos on the cheek. Then, she looked at him adoringly, âHoney, youâre amazing!â
It baffled both Clint and the driver.
Amos glanced at her, âAre you merely flattering me?â
Even if she was, she did it out of sincerity. He couldnât say otherwise, could he?
Truth be told, Eudora had already had everything planned out in her head. She had deliberately delayed the launch of their company for the landlady.
Leslie had actually found alternative locations, but she hadnât gone to view them yet. After careful calculation, she realized that she still had sufficient time.
Eudora immediately ran in to see the children once they got home.
Amos followed her close behind and said, âSlow down!â He then whispered to Clint, âLook for better alternatives and let Leslie know.â
Clint nodded, âNoted!â
He knew for a fact that Amos would not want to see his wife disappointed. He would definitely push past his limits to help her.
â¦
Eudora entered the living room and found that the children had woken up. She circled past the main hall and took the stairway on the side to change her clothes.
As she made her way downstairs, she heard Cindy persuading Sugar Bun to read a book with her.
âLetâs read a book together, alright? Snow White might be a little late today. Letâs read while we wait for her, okay?â
Eudora had promised to be in Snow Whiteâs costume that day.
She felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Was Sugar Bun actually waiting for her?
Had he gotten used to her existence? Did all her hard work finally pay off?
Eudora instantly felt happier. As long as she continued to do her best, Sugar Bun might eventually realize that she was his mother. Then maybe, he would come to accept her too.
Eudora became even more excited. She quickly went downstairs and said, âPrincess Snow White is back!â
Sugar Bun, who was initially down, immediately cheered up. He raised his head and looked at her. He couldnât hide his joy at all.
Eudora couldnât hold back the urge to hug Sugar Bun as she watched him laugh joyfully.
He chuckled even more when Eudora plucked up the courage to kiss him.
Watching the scene unfold before her, Juju whispered to Eudora, âMommy, you can do it!â
