Everyone else at the banquet looked over in interest, eager to see what was happening.
Eudora's heart was beating rapidly against her chest. What was Amos doing?
Didn't Helen already declare war against her, confident that she could pursue Amos? Why hadn't she taken Amos away then? It was very dangerous for him to be here right now!
At this moment, Eden started howling again.
Not far away, Tyler and Eden's father, Bruise, were already walking toward them. Tyler immediately noticed Amos, and his eyes narrowed.
In a split second, Eudora grabbed Fabian by the arm.
She turned to look at Amos calmly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Granger."
Amos clenched his fists in the pocket of his trousers.
Tyler turned his eyes and looked at Eden, who had been causing a ruckus. "What happened here?"
"Dad!" Eden immediately jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"You've got to speak up for me! I was just greeting Miss George, but I was beaten up for no particular reason!"
Even though Bruise had always been very respectful towards Tyler, but Eden was his only son. He was unhappy that his son had been beaten up.
"Mr. Holt, we are your guests. This is a bit..."
Tyler had only attained his current reputation in Greene City because he had his own way of handling things in his daily life. In any case, it was of the utmost importance to explain this matter to the public accordingly!
He furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Eden glanced at Fabian meekly and decided to put the blame on Amos.
"It's him... He said that he's Miss George's admirer, and he started hitting me as soon as he came here."
Tyler's face fell. He glanced at Fabian, who was standing next to Eudora. Fortunately, Fabian didn't respond.
Tyler then turned to look at Amos. "If I remember correctly, Mr. Granger, you're not on my guest list, are you? Yet, you came to my banquet and even tarnished my daughter's reputation. Guards..."
Eudora's heart immediately clenched, and she stopped him hurriedly.
"Wait a minute!"
Tyler turned around to look at Eudora. "What? Are you going to plead for mercy for him?"
Eudora opened her mouth and said, "Of course not, but you couldn't possibly just listen to one side of the story on this matter, could you? As a person privy to this matter, you should listen to what I have to say too!"
Tyler's expression was grim. He could tell why Amos had come all the way here. However, he couldn't be too harsh on him at this moment.
There were so many guests in the banquet, and if they were to go too far, they would only end up making a fool out of themselves.
Therefore, he nodded with a solemn expression on his face. "Go ahead then!"
Only then did Eudora look at Eden. "You said that this gentleman hit you. Yes, he did hit you, but Mr. Nolan and I hit you too."
Bruise's expression fell even further.
"Mr. Holt! What is your daughter trying to say? Is she trying to show off after hitting my son?"
Eudora shook her head. "Of course not, but you should think about it, Sir. Why did I choose to hit him when there are so many people around? It was because he was speaking rudely to me earlier! He came over to have a chat with me just now, but after rejecting him, he said that I was a divorcee and that I'm trash. Am I right?"
Amos' face darkened. Fabian and Tyler, who were standing next to him, looked furious too.
Tyler was Eudora's father, so he was the first to speak.
"Is that so?"
Eden was still trying to deny it. "I... I didn't say that..."
Immediately, guests who had witnessed the whole episode came out to testify. "Miss George is right. That was what he said!"
