As soon as Eudora George arrived at the gate of Clearwater Bay, she received a call from Clint Zuckerberg.
"Your sister had spoken some negative things about you to President Granger earlier in the evening. President Granger was very angry. You have to be alert! Also, President Granger's hand is injured..."
Eudora was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately. "I understand, thank you."
She was sincerely grateful to Clint, which made him a little embarrassed.
"I'm not doing this entirely because of you. I've been with President Granger for many years, and I've never seen him treat someone like this. I also hope that you won't betray our President Granger's love for you."
Eudora gave a wry smile and hung up the phone.
After that, she slowly walked back.
When she got home, Aunt Valerie came up and said with a smile, "You’re back! What would you like to eat tonight?"
"There’s no need for that," Eudora smiled and said, "I'll give you the day off today. You can go back."
Aunt Valerie wanted to say that this wasn’ t necessary, but when she remembered that they had been quarreling with each other, she thought that perhaps Eudora wanted to personally cook for him. Immediately, she laughed and said, "I'll go back first then! The ingredients are all in the refrigerator. Everything has been prepared."
"Alright!" Eudora was not in the mood to correct her. She then sent her off.
When Aunt Valerie left, she put down the bag in her hand and leaned on the sofa.
Amos arrived home when the sky had turned dark. As Clint had mentioned to her over the phone, he looked angry and his face was cold.
Eudora didn't say a word and let him stand in front of her.
Then she raised her head, and the two of them looked at each other silently.
Amos only opened his mouth after about five minutes, but it seemed like half a century had passed.
"Have you been out doing business recently?"
Eudora was shocked. She thought that what Kesha George mentioned was the intimate relationship between her and Christopher Gellert. What did Amos mean?
Kesha really did tell him about the intimate relationship between her and Christopher, but Amos saw the real issue behind this incident.
Seeing that she did not speak, the little bit of hope in Amos' heart dissipated. He could not help but lower his head to cup her chin and raise her head.
"Look at me and tell me, have you been out doing business recently?" Amos had never done anything without any research. Since he asked, he must have investigated everything earlier.
Then, there was no need for her to defend herself.
Eudora nodded. "Yes!"
"Why?" Amos asked coldly. She didn't even try to lie to him.
"Why?" Eudora smiled bitterly in her heart, because I wanted to help my friend and not be threatened. However, she knew in her heart that she could not mention Christopher in front of Amos now.
So she put all the blame on herself.
"Didn't you already guess it? I want to leave you."
He had expected her to give other reasons, so he felt extremely sad when he heard Eudora’s answer. He swore that he had never been so devastated before.
Even though he had experienced being imprisoned in the basement for half a year, he had never felt as broken as he was feeling now. It was as if a knife had stabbed his heart.
It was a complete wreck!
