My Second Husband novel Chapter 566

Tina couldn't understand, thus she inquired, "Eudora, I could tell that Dad is really coercing you. If that's the case, why wouldn't you want President Granger to come and save you?"

Eudora did not know the best way to explain. Could she just tell Tina that she did not want to implicate Amos into this? Or should she say that the Granger family had problems of their own at the moment too?

It was too difficult to reveal these, and she thought that there was no point in telling Tina about them.

Hence, Eudora said nonchalantly, "It's not what you think it is. Just forget about it, alright? Promise me that you wouldn't tell anyone about this. If you say it, then don't regard me as your sister ever again."

Eudora was a role model to Tina, and she could not accept the fact that she was about to sever ties with her.

Tina immediately shook her head and assured her, "I won't reveal anything, not a single word."

"That's good. You'd better get out of here quickly. Don't make Christopher worried. At least one of us has to be free and happy..."

The last sentence came out as a murmur, so Tina did not hear it clearly.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing!"

Eudora returned to her room after sending Tina off. Both Eudora and Tyler did not interact with each other at all for the next two days.

Tyler would usually tolerate Eudora whenever they quarreled. Hence, even if Eudora was angry, the atmosphere in the family was still harmonious.

However, this time, it was totally different.

For the first time, they were ignoring each other. Eudora would show a poker face every day and attend to her own business without making a fuss. However, the same could not be said for Tyler. Everyone had initially thought that they no longer needed to suffer under his intimidation once Eudora returned home.

Yet, they had never expected the situation to be even worse than before.

Those who had gone to serve Tyler were complaining about him. In the end, Hodge's bedroom door was swarmed by people.

They immediately pleaded with him.

The family chef spoke first. He complained with snot and tears on his face, "Hodge, you must help me. I have cooked more than a dozen meals over the past few days, but Mr. Holt wasn't satisfied with any of them. My arms are going to fall off at this point."

"So what if your arms fall off? My hands are swollen!"

The maid who was responsible for washing the dishes exclaimed.

"Yours is nothing! I have been cleaning the house for multiple rounds over the past few days. The other servant almost slipped on the floor because it was too clean! But Mr. Holt said that I didn't do my job well and that I had to clean the house again! Hodge, you must speak for me..."

Needless to say, Hodge didn't dare to point out Tyler's unreasonable behavior. He mumbled, "Well... if the floor was clean, it wouldn't have been slippery right? You do need to continue cleaning the house..."

"Hodge!" Everyone shouted at the same time, "Please, save us!"

It was really difficult for Hodge to do anything. He sighed, "You guys are really making things difficult for me!" As a butler, of course, he hoped that everyone in the house could get along well and live happily.

However, it was a fight between the masters of the house. What could an insignificant being like him do?

Then again, he was the butler. Looking at these severely-tortured subordinates, he had no choice but to brace himself to try to resolve the issue.

"Fine, let me try to persuade him!"

Everyone almost got onto their knees. To them, Hodge was like their ultimate savior!

After bidding farewell to the crowd, Hodge thought for a while and decided to look for Eudora first. Compared to Tyler, she was more easy-going.

She should have returned from the milkshake shop at this hour.
