After sending Kesha away, Wendy knew this matter could not be delayed any longer.
If Eudora knew the truth, she would definitely find a way to investigate it. It would be over for Wendy once Eudora found out about everything.
Thinking of this, Wendy took out a business card from her purse. After hesitating for a while, she dialed the number on it.
Soon, noisy noises came out from the other end of the phone. Gingerly, Wendy said hello.
After a moment of silence, she heard a man's lazy voice.
"Baby, I thought you've forgotten about me!"
Wendy's lips froze, and then she answered in a cheery tone, "Why would I forget about you?"
"No? I saw that you and Amos Granger are very happy together!"
Wendy felt a chill down her spine. How could she forget that this man was very dangerous?
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Last time you said that you wanted to work beside me. I've thought about it, but your identity is too obvious. I'm afraid that you'll be in danger."
The man sneered. "You really care about me, baby." "Kind of!" Wendy let out a dry laugh.
The man snorted. "Is that all? I'll hang up then!" "Don't..." Wendy hesitated and finally asked. "Where are you?"
"What's wrong? Do you miss me? I'll come to you then."
"No, no..." Wendy paused. "Could I ask you for a favor?"
After a moment of silence, he spat, "Wendy, are you treating me as your bodyguard or something? How dare you?"
Wendy's face darkened and she hurriedly replied, "I'm not..."
"Then why are you calling me? If you want my help, show me your sincerity!" After that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, an address was sent from his mobile phone.
Wendy looked at the number as cold sweats broke out from her pale face. She tossed her phone aside, shivering.
It was already nighttime when Amos Granger arrived at Clearwater Bay. He saw Auntie Valerie standing at the door looking around.
He frowned and asked. "What's wrong?"
"Miss has gone out again today and hasn't come back yet." Auntie Valerie said worriedly, "I was about to look for her."
His frown got deeper as he asked, "Did anyone come here for her?"
"Could it be the George family?" Amos' brows were knitted tightly. It seemed that the George family had forgotten about the threat last time.
"I see. I'll look for her.1' After saying that, he turned around and got in his car again.
However, before he drove out of the area, he spotted Eudora sitting alone on a bench in a garden. It looked like she was deep in her thoughts.
Amos parked his car promptly and walked over. He sat down beside her.
"What's wrong?"
Eudora shook her head. "Nothing."
She didn't want to say anything.
Amos saw that she was not in the mood to speak, so he did not probe further. "Let's go home!"
However, Eudora suddenly grabbed his hand again and asked, "Amos, have you ever had someone whom you feel guilty for?"
Amos was stunned, his eyes looking at Eudora deeply. He really didn't expect that she would have someone like that in her life.
How could that be possible?
She was clearly a person who would rather be hurt than to hurt others.
However, he still thought about it for a moment.
"You're probably the only one whom I feel an immense guilt for."
Eudora was stunned. She did not expect that Amos would say that to her, "That is why I will always be good to you," Amos continued.
After that, he took off his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Shall we go home?"
