When Amos arrived had the old mansion, Old Master Granger had already gathered the whole family.
Bethany still looked as kind as ever. Next to her was his second uncle, Harry Granger, and his second aunt, Kaylene Yoder. The ladies were smiling, whilst the men looked glum. It was as if the two ladies were really happy for him.
However, Amos knew that they wanted nothing more than to see him fail in life.
He ignored the two of them and went straight to the old man.
"Father, were you looking for me?"
The Old Master was livid, and Amos' words were like the fuse of a bomb being ignited. As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Master slammed the table.
"Do I no longer have a say in your life? How could you not discuss something as important as your marriage with me in advance? Am I not your father anymore? Do you not care about the Granger family anymore?"
After that, he started coughing violently.
Bethany immediately stepped forward to pat his back. "Please don't be angry. Just tell him what you want..."
Harry quickly added, "Big brother, Bethany is right. Amos is now the President of Valiant East. He has his own plans now. You shouldn't act so recklessly as well!"
It seemed as if Harry was trying to diffuse the situation, but in fact, he was deliberately adding oil to the fire.
There was implicit sarcasm in his words to the Old Master. It was as if he was saying that the Old Master could no longer control Amos now that he had become the President of Valiant East.
If it were in the past, the Old Master would not have cared about this little trick at all. But now, he was already angry, and Harry's words made him even angrier.
"Bast*rd! Amos, you'd better explain it clearly to
__ _ ii
me.
Amos held his ground and spoke after a long time, "There's nothing to explain. It's exactly what you saw."
The Old Master was furious. "Well, it's alright if you want to marry Wendy Liam. After all, she had saved you twice. But you must end your relationship with Eudora immediately!"
The Old Master was initially worried that Amos had always gone against him for Eudora. Now that he was willing to marry another person, perhaps it would be a good thing after all.
Seeing that Amos did not speak, Harry was excited again.
"Amos, what your father said made sense. It's all for your own good. You can't have two women in your life, can you? Besides, Miss George isn't that special anyway. If you and your father both could take a step back, wouldn't this matter be settled then?"
Harry and his family wanted Amos to marry Wendy. After all, it would not be difficult to win Wendy over. If she married into the Granger family, they would benefit from it.
"Impossible!" Amos said again. The Old Master's veins almost popped.
"Say that again!"
The rest of the people were either gloating or watching the scene with cold eyes.
Amos turned around, took out a report from Clint's hand, and threw it on the table. "This is Valiant East's general report for this year. If you have anything to say, say it after you'd read the report!"
Hearing this, the Old Master reached out and flipped it open.
The next second, his face changed. "Is this really a report of Valiant East?"
Clint behind him immediately nodded. "Yes, Chairman. Compared to last year, each of Valiant East's projects has an increased profit of at least sixty percent this year. This is also the highest profit ever generated by Valiant East for so many years."
Harry was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Amos to be so capable. He made Valiant East to what it was now in just less than a year.
For a moment, the mood on his face was also uncertain.
