Chapter 760: Chapter 760 Compromise

The next day, Eudora prepared breakfast for the two children. Before she could take a bite, Clint called again.

Clint had always been a very calm and self-disciplined man. However, this time, his voice became anxious.

“Madam, we’re in trouble!”

Eudora’s hand paused. She looked up and saw the eyes of the two children looking at her. She hurriedly obtained control of her emotions.

She smiled and said, “It’s all right. Say it slowly.”

As she spoke, she walked outside slowly.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Clint’s voice.

“It’s about the stock market. They’ve bought a lot of stocks from our company, and we’ve compiled all the data about it. What I’m worried about now is that they’ve taken advantage of our stocks falling to buy them in mass amounts. If they sell them again in the future, our market will crash!”

They were using the same old trick again!

Of course, Eudora knew that.

Clint couldn’t help but blame himself again, “It’s all my fault. If President Granger was here, he would’ve noticed it a long time ago. I’ve been with President Granger for so many years, but I haven’t even learned a third of his expertise. I’m so useless.”

Eudora smiled wryly, “There’s no need to blame yourself. If we go according to what you’ve said about needing to learn something from someone you’ve been with for a long time, then I’m even more useless. I’ve stayed with Amos for an even longer time, yet I still haven’t learned from him either.”

Clint was dumbfounded.

“I’m sorry, Madam. I’m not saying that you’re useless, but that…”

“It’s alright! Please help me contact Leslie!”

Clint was stunned, “Madam, are you going to agree to his request? However, if President Granger knew about this, he wouldn’t agree!”

Eudora pursed her lips, “I know he wouldn’t agree because he’s always been protecting me like a treasure. However, Clint, it’s dangerous now. I can’t just stand aside and watch this unfold! I must try my best this time!”

Clint gritted his teeth.

“Madam…”

“Don’t persuade me anymore! Go ahead and arrange for it! I won’t let myself be in danger. After all, I still have two children!”

She paused for a while.

She added, “Don’t let Harley know about this.”

After all, Harley had his own principles. Good and evil people could not be merged. As a friend, she had to respect his principles.

“Got it!” Clint said in a low voice.

After hanging up on the call, Eudora looked up at the sky above her head.

The weather was good today. In the morning, she had witnessed the sunrise. It was so bright, so beautiful.

However, in her heart, she felt so uneasy as if her heart was being pressed by a big stone.

She thought that she would be able to have things in her way if she struggled through them with all her might. However, after going around in circles, she was still back to square one.

She did not know what other obstacles she would face after accepting her defeat this time.

However, she also knew.

This time, it was time for her to protect Amos. No matter what storm awaited her, she could not retreat.

While Eudora accompanied the two children to have breakfast, Clint had already arrived outside.

Eudora got into the car.

Clint said, “I’ve already contacted him. When do you think we should go there?”

“Let’s go there now!”

It wasn’t easy for her to make a decision. If she could go there earlier, then Amos could be released earlier as well!

They arrived at Leslie’s residence in Rosaville City, which was on a mountain in the suburbs. He was really good at enjoying life.

After Eudora went in, Leslie opened his mouth and said, “You’re here! Have a seat first!”

Eudora pursed her lips and said, “I think we should first make the terms and conditions clear!”

“You should know my conditions very well! I’ve already stated them, so there is no need for me to repeat myself! As for yours, you want to find Mark via me and then get Amos back, right?”

Undeniably, Leslie really knew her very well, and everything he said was accurate.

Eudora was still lost in thought when Leslie spoke.

“Sit down. I’ve already asked someone to make an appointment with Mark. I think he’ll be here soon!”

Eudora then sat down opposite Leslie, and the worry in her heart gradually subsided.

At this moment, a subordinate brought in a piece of newspaper. Leslie glanced at it and frowned.

“Mark really is getting bolder and bolder! How dare he attack Valiant East behind my back? Who gave him the courage?”

The assistant immediately echoed.

“Sir, don’t be angry. When he comes, you can ask him to cancel it. Even if he is not sensible, he doesn’t dare to disobey you, right?”

Leslie finally felt a little more comfortable.

As they were talking, a servant came in to announce, “Sir, Mr. Shelby is here!”

Leslie had not yet asked him to come in, but there were already footsteps outside.

Mark, dressed in black, was the first to walk in. Behind him were four to five men dressed in the same black outfit as him.

After Mark came in, he first nodded to Leslie and said, “Uncle Clarke!”

Leslie’s assistant was unhappy.

“Mark! What are you doing? This isn’t your first day here, is it? You should know the rules here. What are you trying to do by bringing so many people here?”

Mark’s lips curled up, and he still looked as demure as before. However, the expression in his eyes was no longer the same.

“I don’t mean anything by this. I just went out to do something in the morning and came here directly after receiving the call. I forgot to ask them to wait for me outside. Uncle Clarke, it’s fine, right?”

It was obvious that he was being disrespectful to Leslie.

However, Leslie was too lazy to argue with him, so he interrupted their dispute.

“Forget it. It’s just a small matter, there’s no need to keep on arguing. I’ve asked you to come here today to talk about Valiant East. Amos is in your hands, isn’t he? I don’t care what you want to do. I’m ordering you, let go of him!”

While Leslie was talking, Mark’s eyes had already turned to Eudora.

He smiled. “Isn’t this Mrs. Granger? Mrs. Granger, what you’re doing isn’t so appropriate, is it? We made a bet yesterday! As long as you win, President Granger will be released to go back! Why are you breaking the rules like this? That’s not very good!”

Eudora replied, “You’re talking about rules? Have you ever obeyed them? You intentionally ordered people to manipulate our stock market and even hired Gabriel. You’ve been planning this for a long time! We can’t win at all!”

Mark nodded and said, “Oh, Mrs. Granger, you’re talking about all that? Yes, all those things you said were really done by me! However, you can’t say that you won’t win! If I can find someone, you can too as well, right?”

His face bore an infuriating expression as he spoke.

Clint couldn’t help but say, “Sure, we can hire people! However, you’ve hired all the people who are qualified. Who else can we invite?”

Mark shot a glance at Leslie, “Aren’t you hiring him? What do you say, Uncle Clarke?”
