Perhaps the little brat was right. The woman in front of Linda was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Although Eudora was not well-dressed and wasn't wearing any makeup, her facial features were well-defined. With a delicate nose, refined lips, bright watery eyes, Eudora's features were further accentuated by her silky smooth skin.
By just standing there, Eudora could easily attract the gazes of a lot of men.
It was just that the lights were dim where Eudora was seated. Hence, no one noticed her.
Linda's face showed a hint of jealousy, especially when she realized that Amos, who didn't even spare her a glance just now, was staring at Eudora! "What was that expression on his face? Was he worried about that woman?!" Linda thought in irritation.
Huh...
"She's just pretending to be pitiful!"
Linda thought for a while and suddenly gritted her teeth.
She said contemptuously, "Why should I apologize to a woman like her? How dare you compare her with me? She doesn't even deserve to share a table with me!"
After saying that, Linda turned around and left. But yet, how could Juju concede to such provocation? Juju had vowed to protect her Mommy from anyone who would harm her! At that moment, Linda blatantly insulted her Mommy, and Juju had zero tolerance for such behavior.
Juju grabbed hold of Linda's leg and quickly said, "You owe us an apology. You must apologize for what you just said."
Eudora went to pull Juju back hurriedly, "Stop it, Juju. Just leave her be."
"I won't! Mom, she has just insulted you and I want her to apologize for it," Juju said with a righteous look.
Their argument soon attracted a lot of attention. Linda flew into a rage out of annoyance. She suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped towards Juju.
Eudora's heart trembled, and she subconsciously rushed forward to stop Linda from doing so. In the nick of time, a large arm grabbed Eudora around the waist, while another hand grabbed Linda's wrist.
"How dare you hit my woman and my child? Are you courting death?"
Linda was shocked as she realized that this woman and child were Amos's wife and daughter.
The security guards at the venue, as well as some company executives, heard the commotion and rushed over. Just in time, they saw Amos gripping a woman's wrist, and his face was extremely displeased.
The executives knew that Amos didn't want to give away his identity. Therefore, they merely asked, "Sir, what's going on?" Amos scoffed coldly, "Aren't the security guards paid to maintain the order here? What's the purpose of hiring them if they can't do their job well?"
The senior executive who approached Amos was at the highest rank within TEM Inc in Rosaville City. Usually, many peers were very respectful and polite to him.
At this moment, Amos was surprisingly speaking to him in such a tone.
However, this senior executive wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, his attitude was even more courteous, which made one wonder who Amos was and why he commanded such respect.
While some of the guests recognized that he was Amos Granger of the noble Granger family, the crowd remained silent while staring at them.
Mr. Granger was really inscrutable!
The senior executive said, "Sir, it's our negligence. We'll deal with it immediately. Guards, escort this woman out. Find out which department she belongs to and fire her immediately. Make sure she's never hired again."
After he finished speaking, the senior executive attended to Amos again.
"Sir, are you satisfied with how this has been handled?"
Amos did not speak, but his expression got uglier.
The senior executive was startled. While he approached Amos, he could nearly discern it with his naked eye. Red rash marks were rapidly appearing on Amos' body. He was startled and called out in a panic, "Quick, take this gentleman to the rest lounge."
Eudora and Juju were also startled. Juju had never seen such a scene before. She wondered what was happening to Amos. However, Eudora remembered that Amos once said that she was the only woman he had touched or made love to...
Back then, she thought that he was just sweet-talking, but at this moment, it seemed that he was speaking the truth!
