Eudora stood still. Before she could speak, one of them had already voiced loudly.
âThis is Eudora George, isnât it? Weâre really not here to make a big deal out of this. Itâs just that since Amos has already passed on, itâs time for you to hand over the keys to the Valiant East Group!â
Eudora frowned. The person in front of her was Roger Granger, the paternal cousin, who Old Master Granger had taken pity on back then.
Even though he was about the same age as Old Master Granger, he seemed more energetic and spry.
That was unsurprising. All these years, they had been using the shares given by the Valiant East Group to live completely carefree while Old Master Granger fought at the frontlines, providing for their every meal.
Hadnât they always been well supported?
It was just unlucky that they turned out to be a bunch of ingrates in the end!
Just as she was thinking about that, Rogerâs son, Sebastian Granger, who was technically Amosâs paternal cousin, spoke up.
âI understand that you and Amos were close, but the Valiant East Group belongs to the Granger family! Is there anything wrong with us asking you to hand over the keys? By the way, hand over the Granger Mansion keys as well as the property deed of it. The Valiant East Group has been established for so long and must not be destroyed in the hands of an outsider.â
Eudora sneered coldly, âWhy should I?â
He probably had not expected her to be so stubborn, so he was stunned before he answered with a laugh.
âWhat do you mean by that? Those things belong to our family. Isnât it normal that I ask you to return them? Should our familyâs property be taken away by an outsider after Amos is dead? Things shouldnât work like that!â
Roger also nodded, âYes, they shouldnât. You have to hand them over today, whether you like it or not!â
Eudoraâs heart was filled with sorrow. If they had originally come to pay their respects, she might have treated them like family. If something really were to happen in the future, she would actually consider returning the Valiant East Group to the Granger family.
Howeverâ¦
They were so ambitious that they wanted to strip her of her power as soon as they arrived.
How could she be okay with handing over Amosâ hard work to these people?
That would be impossible!
She gritted her teeth, saying, âYou keep saying that youâre part of the Granger family and Amos was part of your family. He worked hard day in, day out for the Valiant East Group. What about you, though? Youâve done nothing, yet you enjoy the best privileges possible. Now that heâs gone, are you all even the slightest bit sad? Not at all!â
Not only are you all not sad, but all you care about now is his money!â
Many people, who had come here to pay their respects, came out when they heard the commotion happening outside.
Everyone heard Eudoraâs words and immediately showed contempt towards Roger and Sebastian.
Rogerâs face was full of shame, and he started to lose his temper.
âWhat are you talking about? Amos is a member of the Granger family. How could we not be sad? You on the other hand, what are you doing? I still doubt that Amos could have disappeared just like that. Maybe it was you who killed him so that you could have the company!â
She felt a stab in her heart and suddenly raised her head, giving Roger an icy look.
âShut up!â
How would he be willing to shut up? What he wanted was chaos! The more chaotic things were, the easier it would be for opportunities to be created.
Thinking of that, he clutched his chest and started violently coughing while he squeezed some tears out.
âMy poor nephew! People talk about how much you loved your wife. However, what has this woman done to you in the end? She wants you to die for her own selfish desires! Woe to us that we have to send off the young before ourselvesâ¦â
As he finished, his body swayed as if he was about to faint from grief.
Harley and Christopher, who had followed her from behind, could not stand it anymore. They stepped forward and looked at the two coldly.
âDo you still have any conscience? Today is my brotherâs funeral, and yet you choose to find trouble with Eudora, my sister-in-law, at this time? If itâs not for Eudoraâs sake, at least do so for the sake of the Valiant East Group!â
Roger threw a cold glance at Harley and said, âWho are you? When did Amos have a brother? You stand here and call her your sister-in-law. Could it be that you have feelings for this woman?â
As he spoke, he shot a disdainful look at Eudora.
Harley was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Christopher quickly grabbed his fist.
âStop it!â Turning around, Christopher calmed down and looked at Roger.
âHey, old man, if there are any issues, can we talk about them later instead?â
Roger sneered again, saying, âHere comes another one. I canât believe this. Our Amos canât even rest in peace!â
Christopher was infuriated.
Christopher raised his fist and was ready to punch him. He completely forgot that he had just stopped Harley and had even told him to calm down!
This kind of person was really intolerable!
âStop it! All of you!â Eudora, who had not spoken all this while, finally opened her mouth.
Harley and Christopher put down their fists and turned to look at her.
Roger instantly became full of himself again, saying, âNo matter how much we discuss this matter, you will always be in the wrong! So what if youâre Amosâ wife? Our Valiant East Group cannot be inherited by just anyone. Youâd better understand this fact early. When you leave, maybe Iâll even give you some money for you to support your childrenâ¦â
He paused for a bit.
Then, he continued, âRegarding the old mansion, Iâve checked it when I had passed by a few days ago. The furnishing isnât bad, so I wonât ask you to renovate it. However, Iâm already so old, so the bonsai plants and decorations will have to be changed. Go back and tell the butler to make the arrangements. Weâll move in after three days!â
âOh, as for your two kids, itâs not that the Granger family canât support them, but I thought that you would want to take care of them yourself. I wouldnât want you and your children to be separated. So, just take them away with you!â
The more Roger spoke, the more excited he became, as if the Valiant East Group was already within his reach.
Harley and Christopher were so furious that they wanted to hit him again. The next second, they saw something white flash over their heads.
Eudora suddenly let out a roar, âGet lost!â
She was burning with rage. She picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at Rogerâs head.
He probably did not expect that Eudora would hit him in front of so many people.
Truth be told, she did not want to do that either. However, she was already in a state of extreme grief. Amosâ death had taken away almost all of her rationality.
Not to mention, an unreasonable rascal had come to cause trouble at the moment?
Roger was almost scared to death. How could he continue to keep up his facade?
Just a few minutes ago, he had looked so weak as if he was about to spit blood, but at the moment, he was running away even faster than his son, Sebastian. In the end, Sebastian also got hit twice, and his face twisted in pain.
Before leaving, he even turned back to give them a warning.
âYou delusional psycho! How dare you even try to keep the Granger family in your hands! We wonât let you get away with this!â
Eudora snorted back coldly too, saying, âWhatever! As long as Iâm here, donât even think about laying your hands on what my husband has left behind! No one can take them away!â
