As Wesley slowly retold the events that had transpired for the past few years, the image of Amos sitting in a wheelchair appeared in Eudora's mind.
This particular image would appear in her mind from time to time. This makes Wesley's words credible.
"Mr. Granger treats you really well. We should not say anything as his subordinates. But I hope that in the future, no matter what decision you make, you would think about President Granger first."
After that, Wesley left without Eudora could say anything else.
Eudora sat there for a long time. She then walked over and ate the food that Wesley had brought her.
Wesley was right. Amos had always treated her well, so she had to eat. She would then have the energy to save him.
It was already dark when Eudora finished eating. Clint and the rest also came back one after another. They had been busy all afternoon contacting all the forces available in Greene City, but to no avail.
Everyone was dejected.
"It's really hard to find people in Greene City who are willing to go against the Holt family. Therefore, this solution might not work. However, on my way back, I heard that it is Tyler's birthday tomorrow. So, they might have their guard down tomorrow. At that time, all of you will cover me and I will try to sneak in to find President Granger," Clint said.
Everyone was shocked.
Eudora was also stunned. There was a rumor that Tyler cared a lot about his territory, especially the Holt Manor. Once someone was to break into the manor, the result would be very tragic.
It was rumored that there was someone who tried to sneak into the manor before, but he allegedly was never seen again.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go."
Since it was very dangerous, they all hoped they could be the one to go. However, because they all wanted to save Amos, no one would have any objection to this decision,
"I'll go!" Clint said. "I am proficient in martial arts skills. You know."
"Assistant Zuckerberg!" Charlie shouted.
"Alright, that's enough. I have been with Mr. Granger the longest, so I know him the best. When I go in, I might be able to find some clues that he had left behind. If I could pull this off successfully, I'm going to request permission from Mr. Granger to travel around the world. Don't you guys try to take my credit!"
Since he had already said so, everyone had no choice but to agree.
After that, they gathered to make a plan. Then, they went to rest. It was late at night, but Eudora could not sleep. She got up to drink some water.
She saw that the lights on the balcony were switched on. Eudora walked over and took a look. Clint was standing there, his eyes looking at the Holt Manor in the darkness.
When he heard her footsteps, he turned around and said, "Miss George, did I wake you up?"
Eudora shook her head, "No! I just came out for some water."
The two of them were silent for a while. Eudora saw a big scar on Clint's arm, as his sleeves were rolled up.
"What happened?" She asked hurriedly.
Clint looked indifferent, "It's nothing much. I just got into an accident a long time ago when I went on a business trip with Mr. Granger!"
His words were vague, but it was obvious what had happened.
Those people were definitely protecting Amos. Clint's injury was also the result of him trying to protect Amos.
Not only Clint, everyone inside had scars all over their bodies, too.
Perhaps, Wesley was right. It seemed that she had indulged too much in life.
