Chapter 768: Chapter 768 It’s My Turn To Protect You

Eudora said, “I don’t want to look beautiful. I don’t want him to leave in peace. I want him to come back, to be with me forever and ever.”

Even Harley, a grown man, couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Eudora, I too, hope that he’ll come back! However, we’ve all witnessed it with our own eyes, haven’t we?”

“No!” she exclaimed and suddenly grabbed the cudgel from the hands of the traffic police officer, flailing it around in desperation.

A few of them who had not been paying attention, got beaten by her a couple of times.

Eudora quickly ran forwards.

She was yelling at the same time, “I’ve done something wrong. Hit me! Hurry up and hit me!”

The traffic police were initially going to arrest her, but her request bewildered them.

Someone recognized Harley.

They asked him in confusion, “Officer Louis, what’s going on? What’s wrong with this family member of yours?”

Harley’s heart was filled with pain. He answered, “I’m sorry to have put you all in a difficult position.” Then, he stepped forward and held onto Eudora’s shoulders.

“Eudora, can you get a hold of yourself? I know that deep down, you know exactly what’s happening, but you’re refusing to accept it. However, no matter how you ask for anyone to put you in danger, my brother won’t return to life. He’s dead. He’s actually dead!”

Her legs wobbled, and the tears, which she had been holding back for days, burst out of her eyes.

Dead? Amos was actually dead?

Her husband, Amos Granger would never arrive to rescue her from danger anymore like before!

Just as she was thinking that, someone ran towards her all of a sudden.

“Mom! Who bullied my Mom?”

Stunned, she saw Juju turning around to talk to Clint, who was right behind her.

“Uncle Clint, please take care of this matter. Tell them that the Granger family will bear full responsibility for everything that my mother has done wrong. However, if anyone lays a finger on her, don’t blame us for not being courteous!”

The little girl seemed to be only six or seven years old, but the imposing manner on her face did not allow for her to be underestimated.

She had always been incredibly similar to Amos. At that moment, it was as if Amos was right here.

Eudora couldn’t contain herself, her eyes gradually reddening. However, when Eudora realized that Juju might not know about what had happened to Amos, she took a deep breath and went forward to hug Juju.

“Juju, why are you here?” she asked.

Juju did not reply. She patted Eudora on the shoulder with her little hand and asked, “Mommy, you’re not hurt, are you?”

Eudora shook her head, “No!”

“That’s good! Let’s go!” continued Juju.

“Where are we going?” Eudora was suspicious.

Juju looked Eudora in the eye and answered, “Mom, don’t lie to me. Uncle Christopher has already told me that Dad won’t come back. From now on, Mom and I will be supporting this family.”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Juju’s calm face incredulously.

“Juju, you…”

Juju shook her head and clenched her fists, as if to encourage herself.

“Mom, I’m fine. Uncle Christopher said that you were very sad when Dad left, so I have to take good care of myself and Sugar Bun. Mom, I’ll protect you from now on.”

Eudora could not hold herself back anymore and burst into tears with Juju in her arms.

Juju pursed her mouth and also felt like crying, but in the end, she wiped away her tears and patted Eudora’s shoulder.

“Mom, let’s go!”

…

When Eudora and Juju arrived at the funeral site, things were already in place.

At the front of the mourning hall, there was a huge picture of Amos.

When Eudora saw it, she was suddenly reminded of what it had been like when she had first seen Amos.

He had been such a proud and reckless person. Why? Why did he end up like this?

Someone was carrying a chair from the side and accidentally hit Eudora’s knee. The lady was shocked.

She hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, it wasn’t on purpose! It’s bleeding. It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?”

Eudora shook her head, staring at the bright red bloodstain. Did it hurt?

She could no longer feel pain. Could she still feel mere physical pain? Her heart had already become numb from all the inner pain.

Soon, the funeral began. She looked at the cold, icy casket in front of her.

Had her Amos already turned into the ice-cold casket, starting from this moment onwards? Her tears had already dried up. There would be no more.

…

Eudora was not alone, as Harley and Christopher’s eyes were also bloodshot.

Clint strode in from outside and walked towards Eudora. Harley stopped him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Clint said anxiously, “Someone is causing trouble outside! It’s about the Valiant East Group, so I have to inform Madam.”

Harley shook his head and replied, “Do you think you should still sadden her at this time? What is the matter about? Why don’t you tell me?”

Then, Clint responded.

“It’s about one of the company directors. He’s Old Master Granger’s distant relative. He has been casting wanting looks back when Mr. Granger was around, however he was afraid of him. However, now…”

Harley’s lips curved upwards. They were here to cause trouble!

“Call the police!” he said in a low voice.

Clint was speechless.

“You’re so blunt and straightforward. They haven’t done anything wrong. Even if you report them to the police, they’ll only catch them and simply teach them a lesson. What’s the point of doing that?” he thought.

Just as he was pondering, Eudora had already gotten up and walked over.

“What’s the matter?”

Clint turned around, and his eyes met with Eudora’s red and swollen ones. In the past, President Granger could not bear for her to even lose a strand of hair. If he were to see his wife cry until her eyes swelled up, he would definitely be heartbroken.

Clint dared not continue speaking and hurriedly shook his head.

“Nothing, it’s nothing.”

“Don’t lie to me. I’ve heard everything! Bring me outside. I want to meet him!” she said.

Clint gaped at her and replied, “Okay!”

She turned around and caressed the cinerary casket affectionately, “Hubby, you’re not here to protect me anymore. So, I have to be strong. This time, it’s my turn to protect you!”

…

Outside in the living room, when Eudora arrived, a bunch of people had already sat down there.

The distant relative of Old Master Granger could actually be considered a direct relative. He was Old Master Granger’s paternal cousin, which in turn also meant he was the descendant of Amos’ grandfather’s brothers.

However, at the time, the Granger family rule stipulated that only the one who had inherited the family business could live in the Granger household. People other than those who had the inheritance rights had to disperse out of the family.

Moreover, they were not allowed to appear in public with the identity of the Valiant East Group.

As a result, this brother of Amos’ grandfather had been separated from the family.

However, later on, when Old Master Granger had to face this difficult problem, he could not bear for Harry to leave. Hence, that rule was abolished since then.

Meanwhile, Amos’ grandfather’s brother had already passed away, and only a few paternal cousins remained. Old Master Granger then gave them a portion of the Valiant East Group’s shares each.

In the past few years, they had not dared to cause any commotion due to Old Master Granger’s capabilities and Amos’ straightforward methods.

However, Old Master Granger had died, and Amos had passed on as well.

Weren’t their greedy ambitions now exposed?
