The butler had already walked over. "Miss Liam, please!"
Wendy Liam had no choice but to follow the butler.
After the butler left, Old Master Granger looked at Amos Granger and Eudora George. "Amos, stay here. Miss George, you should go back too!"
Eudora realized that the old man's attitude toward her had changed just now because he didn't like Wendy. After all, with his age and experience, he was an expert when it came to judging others, so he could tell that Wendy was not a good person with just a glance.
That was why he had used her as a shield.
However, Eudora didn't like to be here anyway, so she immediately stated her position. "Okay!"
Unexpectedly, Amos grabbed her hand and said, "I am the head of the Granger family. Without my order, who dares to ask you to leave?"
This angered the old man, who then chided loudly, "I'm not dead yet!"
However, Amos turned a deaf ear, "Okay, then I'll retire from Valiant East now!"
"You..." This was Old Master Granger's bottom line. He could not allow Amos leave the Valiant East.
Since there was no way to stop Amos from getting his way, the old man turned around and went upstairs, trembling. Amos took Eudora to their room.
After sitting down, Eudora looked around the room and said in an awkward tone, "Actually, I don't want to stay here at all. You don't have to quarrel with the Old Master because of me."
"I don't want to stay either, but now you have to," Amos ordered in return.
He could tell what Wendy was thinking. In the past, he had treated her kindly because she was, after all, a person who had saved him. However, after so many confrontations, he could see past her tricks too.
However, since he was indebted to her, Amos didn't want to make things too awkward. He thought it was great if Wendy knew that she had to back off now.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Eudora could not avoid him here like she did at home.
Amos smirked, "Why don't you take a shower first?"
Eudora was stunned. "Okay!"
Why did it sound like she was having an affair?"
Eudora had stayed at the mansion before, and everything was always well prepared. When she came out from the bathroom, she saw Amos leaning on the bed and looking at her lazily.
"Come here."
Eudora frowned and said, "You should wash up too."
"Don't worry!" Amos said, and then patted the seat beside him, motioning Eudora to sit. The next second, he reached out his hand and took her into his arms. The tip of his nose was buried into her exposed neck. It felt slightly cold and Eudora's whole body immediately stiffed.
The man's low voice rang vaguely. "Are you satisfied with my recent performance?"
Eudora was stunned and looked up at him. After a while, she realized that he was talking about his recent performance with Wendy and him having released Christopher Gellert.
"Yes!" Eudora nodded.
He lifted the corners of his mouth slightly and suddenly pulled Eudora in front of him. Amos gazed at her earnestly with his big, bright eyes. It was obvious he was trying to earn praise from her.
Eudora was speechless.
After a long while, she reached out and touched his head. "Good boy."
Her soft, little hand rubbing his head surged a warm current through his heart. But the next second, Amos stiffed again.
Why was this action... so familiar?
Could it be that... Cola!
Was this woman coaxing him as if he was Cola?
With a swift motion, he grabbed her wrist, flipped his body over, and pressed her on the bed. "How dare you? Do you regard me as Cola?"
Only then did Eudora realize that she had done just that. She immediately pursed her lips. "I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Amos had lowered his head and kissed her passionately. As a little punishment, he bit her lips.
