Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Show Some Respect

Elaine came with ulterior motives, so she easily joined in on the conversation.

Eudora took advantage of the opportunity to slip away and she found a spot to sit down.

Amber had not arrived yet, and Eudora felt a little uncomfortable.

The medicine she had brought seemed to have been forgotten. She was afraid that she would not be able to endure until the commencement of this celebration banquet.

Therefore, she called the waiter and said, “Please bring me a glass of water.”

After getting the water, she was about to put the medicine into her mouth. However, a big hand grabbed her wrist at that instant.

“Are you crazy? Why are you taking medicine after drinking?”

Eudora was stunned and looked suspiciously at the person who was grabbing her wrist. It was Sawyer.

His name and appearance were unique, so she remembered him clearly.

Usually, he had an indifferent look on his face, but today, he seemed to be a little angry.

Eudora mumbled, “Oh, I forgot about that!”

She was dizzy, so why would she think of that?

She thought for a while and said, “There’s no Cephalosporin in my medicine, so it’s okay to take them after drinking!”

“That won’t do either!” Sawyer frowned. “It’ll be too late if something goes wrong later! You’d better go home and take a rest!”

Eudora shook her head, “I’m not done yet. How can I go back? I’m fine, so thank you.”

Sawyer wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed back his words. Then, he stood up and left.

After a while, he brought a bowl of strong-smelling soup to her.

“Drink this. It’ll make you feel better.”

Eudora glanced at it. It was a bowl of ginger soup.

She had been most afraid of ginger soup since she was a child. When she was ill during pregnancy and could not take medicine, Amos would bring her ginger soup.

Every time, she had to pinch her nose while drinking it. After finishing it, Amos would give her a piece of candy.

Thinking of the past, she got lost in thought.

Shaking her head, she said, “Forget it, I can’t drink this.”

Sawyer appeared to get a little angry, “If you can’t even take good care of your own body, how can you take care of your family?”

Eudora was speechless.

She felt that Sawyer was being overly nosy. However, she was not feeling well and did not want to argue with him.

In the end, she grabbed the bowl and drank it.

It tasted as awful as always.

Eudora put the bowl down and was about to speak when Sawyer handed her a piece of candy.

“Eat it! It’s sweet.”

Eudora was stunned and looked at the man in front of her in shock. For a moment, she felt that Amos was right in front of her.

Feeling a surge of joy in her heart, she quickly grabbed his hand.

“You… ”

Sawyer was stunned, “What’s wrong? I just saw the candy at the dessert counter, so I took one.”

His voice was hoarse.

Eudora pulled back her hand awkwardly. It was her own wishful thinking.

How could he be Amos? Amos was dead. She saw it with her own eyes!

“Thank you!” Eudora grabbed the candy and put it in her pocket.

Other than Amos, she would not eat candy given by anyone else. Sawyer noticed her actions, and his eyes dimmed as he lowered his head.

However, his bowl of ginger soup did have a bit of effect.

After drinking it, Eudora felt that her body had warmed up. A moment later, even her mind had become much clearer.

The banquet officially began. Only then did Eudora excuse herself and go up the stage with the organizers.

As the most eye-catching woman on the stage tonight, Eudora’s appearance attracted the attention of many people below.

Where there were a lot of men, there would inevitably be some condescending remarks thrown around. However, men enjoyed doing so. No matter the amount of wealth they had, men acted the same way.

Someone started the topic.

“I’ve always heard that Amos’ wife was pretty, but I didn’t expect her to be so pretty.”

“Of course. Otherwise, why would Amos treasure her? If I had such a beautiful wife, I’d treasure her, too!”

“I’m afraid that your life might be cut short. Look at Amos. He married her and died shortly after!”

“Take note. I’ll conquer her later.”

The other men all laughed obscenely.

The applause on the stage burst out, and the dialogue was put to an end.

After that, the organizers forcefully asked Eudora to have a drink with them. Eudora was ready to leave, so she thought of drinking a little and just leaving right after.

However, after two glasses, a few more people gathered around her.

In business, some things were inevitable. Although she didn’t want to drink, she could not refuse their offer.

Eudora had no choice but to drink two more glasses of wine before another man walked over. He reached out his hand towards Eudora, “Miss George, I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s an honor to meet you today. Why don’t we have a drink?”

Eudora said courteously, “Just a little will do! I have something to do later, so I’ll leave after drinking this glass!”

The man nodded. However, after finishing this glass, he poured another glass of wine for Eudora.

“Let’s have another drink. I happen to have a big project where I want to cooperate with Tyly Company.”

Eudora pursed her lips tightly. She had already been feeling unwell in the first place. After drinking a few glasses of wine, she was already feeling tipsy.

Ever since getting together with Amos, she had not had much wine for many years. She knew her tolerance well. She was already drunk.

However, she could still keep herself awake at the moment, before the alcohol struck.

“Sorry, I can’t drink anymore!”

Eudora politely refused.

The man was displeased, “Miss George, that doesn’t sound right. We’re all partners. Why did you drink with the others but not me?”

Eudora shook her head, “You really like to joke around. Didn’t I drink a glass already?”

“It was just one glass. You’re a strong and capable woman. You can run two large companies well. What are a few glasses of wine to you?”

Eudora knew in her heart that the man was flattering her, but if she drank another glass, he would possibly make her drink more afterwards.

She decisively refused again, “Sorry, I really can’t drink anymore.”

The man was obviously unhappy, but he still held back his temper.

“Miss George, let’s have a seat over there. I have a project that I would like to discuss with you. Let’s have a good talk.”

Eudora was rather giddy.

She replied, “I’m not feeling too well. Why don’t we do this tomorrow? I’ll have my assistant contact you personally tomorrow. Then, we can arrange an appointment. How about that?”

After being rejected over and over again, the man instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation.

He grabbed Eudora’s arm, “Do you really think you’re the president of Valiant East already? You’re just a wh*re who relied on a man to reach that position. What’s up with your attitude? You’re even putting on airs in front of us?”

After having a few drinks, the man did not even think about filtering his words.

Eudora felt a buzz in her head and raised her hand to slap that man on the face, “Please show some respect.”
