My Second Husband novel Chapter 617

Now that she had resolved the more pressing issues at hand, Eudora finally managed to get proper sleep.

She was already awake by the time the servant came to call her. She saw that Juju was still sleeping soundly and helped cover her with the blanket. Then, she got up, went to the other room, and applied some make-up.

Since Tyler just passed away, there wasn't a need for her to apply heavy make- up. She wore a black suit and tied her hair into a ponytail.

It managed to add some elegance to herself.

After getting changed, Leslie led a few men into the Holt manor's hall.

As Eudora stood at the door, she could hear the loud whispers in the hall. All of them were questioning her ability and standards.

Eudora took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The hall was huge. After Eudora entered, the whispering voices instantly dissipated. Countless pairs of eyes looked up at Eudora.

If she was a normal girl, she would've been slightly afraid. After all, she had yet experienced such an intimidating crowd before.

Fortunately, Eudora had participated in several TV show auditions before. Back when she was abroad, she had also participated in quite a few fashion shows and events.

She had long since gotten used to such a life of being the center of attention. She straightened her back, walked over calmly, and sat down at the highest position.

Leslie quickly stood up and greeted, "Welcome, everyone. This is the current head of our Holt family, Eudora George. You can call her Miss George."

Leslie's subordinates were very enthusiastic and clapped loudly. As for Samuel's team, they seemed to be languid and unbothered.

Leslie frowned and said, "Samuel, what do you mean by this? You already heard Mr. Holt's will yesterday, this is what he wants! What's up with you today?"

Samuel chuckled, "Leslie, I know that you're always flattering Mr. Holt. However, Mr. Holt is human too, and I believe there will be times he makes mistakes. For instance, electing a woman to be our boss is a mistake. I didn't say anything yesterday because we were standing in front of Mr. Holt's grave. Today, I'm here only as a sign of respect for him since he was the one that discovered my talents. She can be our head, but it's impossible for her to gain our respect!"

"You!" Leslie gritted his teeth.

"Uncle Leon!" Eudora interrupted Leslie's words.

Her voice wasn't loud, and it even carried a very gentle tone. The group of people behind Samuel who had already looked down on Eudora grew even more unbridled.

Some of them had already burst out laughing.

Eudora didn't care. She trotted forward slowly and smiled at Samuel.

"Uncle Chilton, right?"

Those who could be by Tyler's side were not young anymore. Thus, it was reasonable for Eudora to call him Uncle Chilton.

She took the initiative to shake his hand.

"Uncle Chilton, I didn't have much contact with you in the past. I understand everything that you said just now, and I'm perfectly aware of your dissatisfaction with me! I won't demand much from any of you. My only request is for everyone to do what they are supposed to. Anything beyond that is not under my control. Those parties and events can be omitted. I'm aware that you guys dislike me, so I'm happy to have some leisure time to myself."

Eudora's words were genuine. She didn't enjoy gatherings at all, especially those with old, rough men. When they gathered, it didn't feel like a gathering but more like a fight.

Now that times were dire, it was naturally best if they did not have a gathering.

Upon hearing this, Samuel felt even more delighted.

"That's good. Since Miss George thinks that way, then that's the best! We'll be leaving first!"

Eudora nodded. Samuel was just about to leave when he heard someone rushing in from the outside, "Bad news! Bad news! Something has happened!"
