My Second Husband novel Chapter 415

Amos was very grateful that she still had such a kind and innocent heart. He did not refuse her wishes.

"That's a great idea!"

He would let her do anything she wanted as long as she was fine.

Anxious, Eudora immediately said, "Then, I'll ask Auntie Valerie to buy some stuff. We'll bring them over later."

"Let's ask Charlie to buy them instead! Auntie Valerie has a lot of work to do."

Eudora nodded, "I'll look for Charlie then."

After that, she left happily.

After Eudora left, Amos turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Auntie Valerie had been in the kitchen ever since she left the room.

Harley was standing by the door. He said hastily when he saw Amos approaching.

"I've asked her already. She said that she was just a little confused for a moment just now. She said that she did not reveal much either. Could it be just a coincidence?"

However, Amos didn't seem to think so. He pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen.

Auntie Valerie was peeling some fruits, and she looked a little dejected and not as cheerful as she was always.

Amos came in and stood not far behind her. Then, his gaze fell on the potatoes next to him.

"People always say that potatoes are wonderful. They are filling and perfect for cooking. I happen to think the same way too. What do you think, Auntie Valerie?"

Auntie Valerie didn't seem to get it at first. She simply hummed in agreement.

Amos took a washed potato out of the basket and said, "However, there's also a saying that potatoes are actually poisonous, and we shouldn't eat too many of them. However, I think that the potatoes are poisonous only when they are sprouted. I'm still willing to believe that not all potatoes are poisonous and that plenty of them are still perfectly fine to cook with. Auntie Valerie, I have seen what you have done for us over the years. I don't believe that you are the kind of person who would still cook sprouted potatoes for us to harm us. So, what was that all about?"

He was, after all, the great Amos Granger. He knew from the beginning that Auntie Valerie must have encountered some difficulties. Otherwise, she would not have done such a thing.

Auntie Valerie parted her lips, but Amos continued before she could speak.

"After all these years, do you still not believe that I'll be able to help you?"

Auntie Valerie had already lost the opportunity to do what she was told to do. Amos would no longer let her approach Eudora again. If she were to refuse to speak up at this moment, there wouldn't be even the slightest hope for her to save her grandson.

If that was the case, shouldn't she at least take a bet on it?

At the thought of this, Auntie Valerie placed the peeled apple in her hands down and said, "Mr. Granger, I beg you. Please help me. Those people kidnapped my grandson yesterday afternoon. It has been more than ten hours, and they have not given him a bite. My grandson is just a child. How could he bear it? They said that they would let my grandson go if I were to reveal some things to the Madam."

Amos' face was ashen. It was just as he had expected.

"Who are they?" he asked in a low voice.

Auntie Valerie shook her head, "I don't know either. The man called us with a hidden number. His voice has been altered and it was hard to recognize. They threatened to kill my grandson if I don't complete the task by today. Mr. Granger, I really didn't have the intention of harming the Madam!"

Harley's face darkened when he heard this from outside the door.

"Amos, haven't we dealt with everyone who was involved in that last incident? Has Felix come back from abroad? That's impossible, isn't it?"

Amos looked solemn. Harley soon came to realization and said, "Could it be that Felix wasn't the only one involved in the last incident? Could someone else be involved in it too?"

Amos had the same thought. The next second, he punched the countertop as he said, "Help me get to the bottom of this!"
