Chapter 979: Chapter 979 Who Said That?

Although Eudora had never gone against Naomi’s desire to pursue happiness, this time, she was a little angry.

“You’re only twenty years old. How could you…”

Naomi frowned and said, “Mom, it’s precisely because I’m already twenty years old that I can make my own judgments! Nelson is really kind to me! We’ll be extremely happy if we’re together!”

Eudora pursed her lips and said, “If he really is good to you, why would he do such a thing before we accepted him?”

Naomi lowered her head and said, “At that time, the circumstances were special. In short, Mom, I believe in Nelson!”

Eudora felt that her heart was starting to feel uneasy. At first, she had reckoned that Nelson was a decent person, but at the moment, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that he wasn’t quite reliable!

“Let me think about this matter.”

After that, Eudora got up and went upstairs.

…

Amos had to attend a dinner party in his company that day. Although he did not want to go, he still had to make a brief appearance. In the end, he met with several old clients and they surrounded him. The conversation between him and them went on and on!

It was past ten o’clock at night when he returned home.

There was no one else in the living room, therefore Cindy greeted him.

Therefore, Cindy greeted him, “Mr. Granger.”

Amos replied, “Where’s Eudora?”

“She went upstairs! Miss Naomi has just come back!”

Amos nodded and turned to go upstairs.

He opened the bedroom door and found that the room was dark. Amos was stunned for a moment before he called out, “Eudora?”

“Hmm?” Someone replied faintly in the dark. “You’re back?”

Amos frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

“It’s nothing.” Eudora shook her head. “I wanted to sleep, but I can’t!”

Amos looked at her and asked again, “Are you really okay?”

“I’m okay. Go and take a shower! You reek of alcohol!”

Truth be told, Amos had not drunk much, but after being reminded by Eudora, he immediately went to the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, Eudora had already fallen asleep!

Amos walked over and caressed her forehead. Fortunately, she did not have a fever. He lightly tapped the furrow between her brows and said in a low voice.

He said in a low voice, “You liar. You have something on your mind. How can I not tell? Is it because of Naomi?”

Amos thought about the possibility, got up and went downstairs to call Charlie.

“Help me find out where Naomi has been these few days.”

…

The next day in the morning, when Amos just woke up, Charlie had already given him the answer.

“Miss Naomi was not at Mr. Clarke’s place in the past few days, but she was with Nelson in an apartment not far from Mr. Clarke’s place!”

Amos’s eyes darkened slightly as he replied, “Just the two of them? They were together the entire time?”

“Yes!” Charlie nodded. “Some people said that they saw them going out to buy things together, even thinking that they were husband and wife.”

After Charlie finished, he could clearly feel the coldness emanating from Amos’s body.

“Nelson Luther, you better watch out!”

Amos gritted his teeth and said, “From the looks of it, if I don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll no longer think much of me!”

Charlie hesitated while saying, “However, Mr. Granger, Miss Naomi seems to really like him. What if Miss Naomi…”

“What does she know? We are both men. In this situation, do you think it’s true love?”

Charlie was speechless for a moment before he replied, “Well… it’s hard to say!”

In his heart, he thought, “You and Mrs. Granger progressed just as quickly in the past…”

However, he dared not say anything.

Amos refused to believe it. After all, in his heart as a father, Naomi, as his daughter, was being tricked and she was at a disadvantage!

He really could not accept this fact!

“Call Clint and ask him to come here!”

After that, Amos turned around and went back to his bedroom. Eudora had just woken up. She saw that Amos was still at home and she got up curiously.

“Why aren’t you going to the company?”

“There’s nothing left to deal with in the company. However, you looked pale, so I stayed back. Are you alright? Let me call Doctor Leon to check on you!”

Leon had actually retired. However, because of the good relationship between the two families, Amos would still ask for Leon’s help for their medical needs.

Leon was now more skillful than before, because he had to help Helen take care of her child. Therefore, after retirement, he not only was well-versed with his practice, but he had also studied about simple illnesses such as headaches and fevers.

He was currently a general practitioner!

“There’s no need for that!” Eudora shook her head. “I just didn’t sleep well. It’s not that serious. Doctor Leon is taking care of the child, so don’t bother him!”

Eudora was always so kind and considerate.

Amos said helplessly, “All right! Go wash your face and change your clothes. I’ve prepared breakfast for you. You can rest after eating it!”

Eudora stretched her head out and crept into Amos’s embrace as she said sweetly, “Hubby, you’re the best!”

Amos touched her nose and said, “Silly, If I’m not good to you, who else will be?”

…

After breakfast, Eudora sat by the sofa in the living room and read a book. Amos poured her a cup of tea and took the opportunity to sit next to her.

After breakfast, she looked better.

Amos pulled her book away from her and said, “I’ll read it for you!”

Clint was summoned. As soon as he entered, he witnessed them being lovey-dovey. Fortunately, he was already married!

He opened his mouth and was about to call out for Amos, but Amos waved his hand at him. He had no choice but to stand aside and continue listening to Amos reading a book to Eudora with his charismatic voice.

It was not until half an hour later that Amos finished reading the book and put it down.

“You can find another book to read, I need to deal with some matters with Clint.”

Eudora was stunned and said, “Clint is here?”

Clint was dumbfounded.

An awkward but polite smile appeared on his face as he greeted, “Good morning, Mrs. Granger.”

A little embarrassed, she said, “Why didn’t you say anything when you arrived? If you have something to do, just hurry up and do it. I’ll read the book by myself!”

Clint showed a smile that was laced with embarrassment. “I wanted to say something but Mr. Granger did not allow me to speak!” Clint said inwardly.

…

In the study.

After they entered, Amos said, “Close the door.”

Then, he opened his mouth to speak.

“Didn’t I ask you to investigate the Inchee Company previously? What has the company been doing recently?”

Clint immediately said, “The Inchee Company started the same way we did, which is from real estate. Apart from the project that they are working together with our company recently, it seems that they are bidding for a landscape project! It seems that they want to establish a reputation from it!”

Amos nodded and said, “Is our company going to participate?”

Clint shook his head, “No, it’s just a small project. We have bigger projects in our hands, therefore we do not intend to participate in this small one.”

“Let’s participate!” Amos decided.

Clint was puzzled as he asked, “President Granger, do you mean that we should compete with Inchee Company for the project?”

“Can’t we?” Amos retorted.

“Of course we can. I just thought that due to the relationship between Miss Naomi and Nelson, Valiant East and Inchee Company are technically allies now. Why are we suddenly becoming competitors?”

Amos’s voice suddenly turned cold while he said, “Who said that?”

Clint was speechless. He thought to himself, “Can anyone tell me about what’s going on now?”
