My Second Husband novel Chapter 268

Steven Granger asked hopefully, "Could you please take a look at the plans for me once I've finished my proposal then?"

Harry Granger immediately lost his previous cheer, "Steven, Amos is busy with other things!"

Steven stopped talking after that. Kaylene Yoder, who was sitting next to him, chipped in, "Yes, Harry's right. Amos is a very busy man. Since it's your own project, you'd better not bother him with this."

"Alright then!" Steven nodded.

After a moment of silence, Harry spoke again.

"Brother, we've already got the project outline now. It's just the funds that are a bit..."

The Old Master had already known that Harry was going to bring this matter up. He did not even raise his head, "Let Amos take a look at your proposal after you've finalized it. If you're asking me for funding right now, I'm afraid that the answer is No. However, you may consider getting Valiant East to invest in your business."

This was already a huge display of goodwill coming from the Old Master. He eventually raised his head to look at Steven in the eye.

"If you intend to start a business, then you must do it well. I don't have much time left. I do not wish to see our family rendered into chaos on the day of my departure. Promise me that you won't disappoint

me.

The Old Master's intent was obvious. This was a warning. Since they've decided to venture outside the family business, then they would have to do their absolute best. As long as they didn't cook up any nonsense, Valiant East would definitely help them.

Harry nodded nervously, "Brother, please rest assured! We will definitely do our best! However, I believe it's up to Amos if Valiant East intends to invest..."

"That's settled then. Don't worry about Amos, because he'll know what to do," the Old Master replied. With that, they started eating.

When they've returned to the Ruby House after dinner, Eudora George started to question Amos Granger.

"Didn't they say that they were going to fend for themselves in the beginning? Why didn't the Old Master just let them venture out themselves? Once they leave, things at home wouldn't be so complicated anymore."

Amos chuckled, "Silly girl, do you really think that Uncle Harry would want to leave? This is his strategy."

Looking into Amos' teasing eyes, Eudora finally figured it out.

"Are you saying that they have never intended to leave to begin with? So they had deliberately said that they were going to start their business just to show that they did not want to rely on the family. They would then gain the Old Master's trust and then Valiant East, in turn, would assist them, right?

As soon as her words fell, Amos planted a kiss on her lips. "How clever! I'll reward you with a kiss."

Eudora was speechless. Reward? He was clearly just taking advantage of her.

"But if that was the case, wouldn't that mean that we have to work together again? What if they start making trouble again? That won't end well!"

"That's why the Old Master had said what he said just now. He meant to warn them against that. However, he is an old man after all. I don't think that he knows that family comes second when personal interests are involved."

Eudora frowned, "You'd better be careful then."

Amos was feeling a little happy when he saw the nervousness in her gaze.

"Are you worried about me?"

Eudora was indeed a little worried, but after being teased by Amos, she immediately dismissed her thoughts.

"Not at all."

"Really?" He caressed her lips softly, "If they were to drag me down one day, you'd better not cry..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, Eudora had already seized him and kissed him on the lips.

"Don't spout nonsense."

Amos smirked, "Alright, I won't!"
