Eudora paused slightly, âIâll go to the company with you first!â
âHold on!â Amos called out to Eudora.
Eudora was flustered as she had no idea if Amos had overheard their conversation. She immediately felt a little guilty.
âYou should stay home and look after Sugar Bunâ¦â
âIâll go with you!â Amos said.
He indeed had!
Eudora sighed. It was not that she did not want Amos to go out and show himself. She was just worried that such a situation would cause him to suffer some sort of psychological trauma.
Those shareholdersâ words would not be pleasant to the ear!
Eudora reassured him, âItâs okay. Trust me. I can handle it.â
âI know you can deal with it, but all this has happened because of me. Didnât you just say that we should face it together?â
Eudora instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Amos thought so too, that meant that he had let go of his own issues and was ready to face himself.
Coming to a conclusion, she nodded.
âAlright!â
After handing Sugar Bun over to Charlie, Amos and Eudora went out with Clint.
â¦
When Eudora arrived at the company, the shareholders were already waiting.
Eudora come in Seeing her enter, Nick was the first to speak out, âHas President Granger really returned?â
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the tall figure behind Eudora. Nick looked at him from head to toe.
Finally, his gaze landed on the manâs face and he was slightly taken aback.
His face was indeed a little horrifying, mainly because of the scars on his face which made him look intimidating.
His features were exactly the face that had appeared in the newspapers.
Nick was shocked and asked, âHeâs President Granger?â
Eudora nodded, âLetâs go in first and talk about it later!â
However, it seemed that it was already too late.
Since the media had published the news of Amosâ return that morning, everyone was curious about any updates. After all, he had been the most famous marriage prospect in Rosaville City. Everyone was curious about why he had turned out to be like this.
Thus, the media naturally wanted to publish the news firsthand.
In a split second, Eudora and the others were surrounded by reporters. Eudoraâs first reaction was to protect Amos behind her.
The next thing she knew, Amos had her hand in his grip.
He stood under the sun, smiling at her.
At that moment, Eudora felt that Amos who was in front of her had changed. Despite the frightening scars on his face, his eyes were filled with a burning passion to live.
The smile on his face was also gentle and warm.
For some unknown reason, she trusted Amos in that moment and let him hold her hand.
A reporter rushed up and asked, âExcuse me, are you really Mr. Granger?â
Amos gave her a glance and said, âI truly am Amos Granger. However, Valiant East is now under my wife, Eudora George. We are not holding a press conference, thus please abide by the rules and leave.â
How could the reporters leave since they had already arrived?
Even more so, when they heard Amosâ familiar yet domineering reply, they were convinced that he was indeed Amos Granger. If they could take a few more pictures of that terrifying face, then they could make it a hot topic!
Meanwhile, the photographers behind the reporters started getting busy.
Amos frowned and said, âClint, call security! Thereâs no need to be polite anymore. If they continue to mess around here, smash their equipment and throw them out!â
After that, he took Eudoraâs hand, pushed through the crowd, and went straight into the company.
The group of shareholders who trailed behind them saw this and their jaws dropped in surprise.
If there had still been traces of doubt in their hearts just now, all of it disappeared at that moment. Apart from Amos, who else could have such a domineering manner?
Several shareholders looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
When they reached the upper floor, Nick greeted, âPr-president Granger.â
Amos stopped and said, âLetâs talk in the conference room!â
Then, they followed Amos to the conference room.
â¦
In the conference room, everyone held their breaths and focused on Amos who was sitting at the end of the table without any fear. Amos truly was amazing. Although he lacked self-confidence whenever he was with Eudora, in front of other people, he could become the Amos Granger from before!
After a moment of silence, Amos spoke first.
He said, âAre you all done staring at me? If so, tell me whatâs going through your minds.â
Everyone snapped back to their senses. Although they were in their home ground, Amos had taken control of the situation.
However, no one noticed that something was amiss, and it was as if it had always been like this.
Even Nick, who had always been arrogant, was acting respectfully.
âPr-President Granger, the situation is like this! The reports published by the media about you arenât positive, which in turn have affected the company, soâ¦â
âHow has the company been affected?â Amos interrupted him.
Nick said, âThe public opinion about the company, of course!â
âWill public opinion of one personâs appearance affect the companyâs progress? Tell me Nick, what was the price of our companyâs shares this morning? Whatâs the price now?â
Nick genuinely had no clue.
When he had seen the news this morning, his first reaction was that something bad had happened and that the company must have been implicated. Therefore, he had quickly called everyone to come to the company.
Who had still bothered to look at the p[rice of the companyâs shares?
Seeing that Nick was unable to answer the question, Amos looked at everyone else.
He asked, âCan anyone else tell me the price of the companyâs shares?â
The other shareholders also immediately lowered their heads. They rarely cared about the companyâs affairs on a daily basis. Apart from situations where the companyâs state affected their benefits, who else would pay attention to those trivial details?
If anything happened to the company, the media would report about the issue immediately. There was no need for them to check the data at all.
When the time was right, they would come forward and make some demands. Then, everything would be settled.
Amos sneered and said, âIt seems that Miss George has done a great job. Everyone trusts her so much that thereâs no need for you all to care about the companyâs statistics anymore.â
They found a way to get out of the situation laced within Amosâ words. Immediately, someone nodded in agreement, âPresident Granger, youâre right. Itâs true that Miss George has done an excellent job. We all trust Miss George and believe that sheâll provide a perfect explanation!â
Eudora frowned. Looking at the shareholderâs faces, she truly felt a little disappointed.
For Old Master Grangerâs sake, she had been incredibly tolerant towards them. They had interfered in the companyâs affairs time and time again. Every single time it happened, she would try to explain the situation nicely to them.
If she was unable to provide an immediate explanation, she would then respectfully ask them to wait patiently for the results.
It seemed that they were getting more and more presumptuous!
The issue was just a matter of public opinion. After all, no one else was talking about it in a negative light. However, their own companyâs shareholders had come here making a fuss!
Eudora pursed her lips and spoke in a cold voice.
She spoke coldly, âThis morning, we opened at 3. 3 dollars per share. Now, itâs at 3. 9 dollars. The share price didnât just fall, but even rose! Are there any shareholders here who would like to make any comments about this?â
