Chapter 896: Chapter 896 Stepping Back at the Last Minute

Eudora looked suspiciously at Amos, who then laughed again.

“Because my wife is so excellent, I want everybody in the world to know it!”

She smiled. “Then I’ll go! You’ll come with me!”

“Alright!” He replied with a grin.

She couldn’t help but touch her forehead when she heard the voice outside. “But, what about the people outside? They’re making too much noise!”

“Charlie!” With a single order from Amos, Charlie went out instantaneously.

Three minutes later, it was quiet outside.

She was perplexed.

“So, it was easy to drive them away. Why didn’t you do it earlier?”

Amos smiled and said, “Because you haven’t seen it yet. I want you to see it so that you can know how awesome you are!”

Eudora was a little overwhelmed by the admiration she received!

What should she do? Her husband was getting better in singing her praises.

In preparation for the ceremony later, she led a regular life for two days so that she would be well rested and lively. During this period, Amos also helped her to choose her gown and makeup.

Now that she had him, Eudora suddenly realized that she could have lived like a lazy lady.

He would prepare everything for her, and she didn’t need to use her brain anymore!

…

At the award ceremony.

It was different from the company’s banquet before as there were a lot of celebrities and some people from the upper class.

That was why it seemed splendid!

Eudora was considered a rising star of the year, therefore she attracted many people’s attention as soon as she turned up.

She still remembered that in the past, when Tyly Company was in trouble, Amos had also brought her to a similar occasion.

During that occasion, he announced to the public that he was in a relationship with her.

At that time, in the eyes of everyone, she was endowed with the name of Mr. Granger’s wife. No one really cared about her own name.

That was because she was not important. People would only mention “Valiant East” or “Amos” when talking about her since those two were the only things that defined her.

But now, things were different. Eudora heard someone calling out for her.

“Miss George, look over here!”

She turned around and smiled. Then, she heard someone shouting, “Miss George, can you stand closer to your husband?”

She subconsciously looked at Amos and found that they had become “Miss George and her husband” instead of “Amos and his wife” in the eyes of the other people.

However, Amos didn’t notice that. He was very cooperative with Eudora in the photo session. Then, they went in.

Originally, she thought it was just a brief interlude. She didn’t expect that she would hear more whispering after she went inside.

“Did you see it just now? Eudora has been busy with the media. Thanks to her, no one took pictures of me when I walked over. What a waste of my pretty clothes today!”

“At least your situation is more tolerable. I didn’t even have a single photo taken!”

“Oh, forget it! So what if there are no pictures of us? Your husband is still the top one on the financial ranking list this year! Multiple media outlets are keeping their eyes on him! After your husband gets the award, you will be the richest lady in the world! Who dares to slight you by then?”

Hearing it, the woman who complained at first finally showed a grin.

“That’s true. What’s the point of being such a capable woman? The most important thing is that the husband has to be capable! A smart woman should understand that the husband is the foundation of her life. What is the point in comparing with one’s husband, and so what if a woman exceeds her husband? When he meets a charming woman later, he will push the strong woman aside. There are many cases like this, aren’t there?”

“You’re right! No man can allow his wife to be better than himself?”

“Now that you have mentioned it, I remember something. I heard that Amos is now looking after their children at home!”

“Really? It can’t be! To have met such a woman who likes to show off, Amos is really unlucky. He is a very capable man, yet he ended up cooking at home! If he was to come out, he wouldn’t be any worse than Eudora! He’s completely ruined by a woman! As the proverb says, ‘The gray mare is the better horse.'”

Eudora frowned and subconsciously looked at Amos.

“Honey, I… I’m sorry.”

He chuckled, “What’s wrong? Do you believe their gossip? Do you also think that I will hold a grudge because of it?”

She shook her head, “Of course not! I believe in you, but they…”

She just didn’t want her husband to be the subject of their gossip.

“Then you don’t have to take it to heart! I don’t care!”

After saying that, he looked inside.

“Let’s go in!”

Eudora was still a little unhappy. Thus, she went straight over to stop those women.

“Do you know why some of the elders can live a long life up to a hundred years?”

Those women were bemused.

“Why?”

“Because… they never poke their nose into other people’s business! There is no need for you to worry about the affairs between me and my husband!”

The woman who spoke just now snorted.

“Don’t be so smug! Your husband must have told you that he doesn’t care about it! But even if you two don’t care, it doesn’t mean that others would not care too. How much emotional suffering can a person endure? Just ask yourself! Even if we don’t say it, you will still see it when the news comes out tomorrow. I bet those editors would embellish the stories between you two and make sarcastic comments. They will say that he is an useless and incompetent man while you’re a b*tch who usurps your man’s power!”

The rest of the people all laughed loudly as they left.

Amos walked over from behind and looked at her gloomy expression.

“What’s wrong? You still haven’t vented your anger? I’ll call Charlie to…”

She shook her head and said, “No need! I was the fool!”

She acted with the thought of stopping them from tattling about Amos, but she forgot that she couldn’t shut everybody up. Consequently, she would be ridiculed even more by those people.

Not to mention, she put Amos in an awkward situation.

Just as she was thinking about it, the ceremony had already begun. He pulled her over and sat down.

In the beginning, some leaders went up to give their speeches as usual, but she did not listen to them at all. Her mind was in a mess.

It was not until they started giving the awards that she came to her senses.

As for the woman who spoke scornfully earlier, her husband really did get the first prize. When he was receiving the award, she was like a peacock, desperately flaunting its tail to her husband.

If it was in the past, Eudora would definitely disdain it.

However, when she saw the satisfied expression on the man’s face, she inexplicably hoped that Amos could do the same.

Perhaps, it was just like what the women said; every woman was hoping for a reliable man to take care of them. She pondered about it.

She wanted to be a good match for Amos, but she also hoped that her husband could be free from accusations and be respected. She hoped that he would be a man whom other people looked up to instead of being belittled.

However, if she was to win the award that day, then all of those would be in vain!

Thinking of that, she couldn’t help but hold Amos’ hand.

“Amos, let’s go! I feel like I don’t want to accept the award anymore!”
