Eudora's heart wavered. Clint had always been a very trustworthy person and wasn't the type who would lie.
But, what about that kidnapping incident?
Eudora smiled bitterly. "I believe that Charlie may have had some unspeakable predicaments, but my father did die because of his actions. I'll choose to believe so until the pieces of evidence prove otherwise. Besides..."
Eudora recalled the incident when she was being kidnapped. "If Charlie had his difficulties, then why did Amos' men try to kidnap me? I believe what I saw."
Clint was taken aback. "What kidnap?" A thought flashed through Clint's mind as he recalled Amos looking for those two employees from their company.
"Was it that time? You've misunderstood. Those two people..."
"Forget it!" Eudora shook her head. "That matter is already over. I know that you guys did it for Charlie's sake, so I don't blame you guys anymore! Even so, there's no reason for me to go back to Amos."
Amos had his own perseverance and beliefs, and she had her responsibilities and duties.
They must be responsible for their future and could no longer indulge themselves in the love of the past.
The next morning, while reviewing the documents, Amos asked Clint.
"How's the investigation on the Nolan family? Are there any updates?"
Clint shook his head. "Their accounts and secret arrangements have gone through the hands of several generations, they have perfected it. It's difficult to find loopholes at this point!"
Amos nodded and suppressed the anxiety in his heart. "Okay! Go and do your work!"
Clint, however, did not move. He played back the conversation with Eudora last night in his mind. After a good thought the night before, he was contemplating whether to let Amos know.
However, if President Granger knew about the things he had said to Miss George, would he be unhappy?
While he was in a dilemma, Amos asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Clint hesitated.
"You went to find her?" Amos asked nonchalantly.
Amos read his mind. In the past, he disliked guessing what others were thinking. A man in love was indeed terrifying!
Clint nodded. "I'm sorry, President Granger. I did find Miss George and explain several things to her."
Amos sneered. "It's no use!"
He had guessed correctly again!
Clint didn't understand this time. "How would you know that it would be useless? Since when is there such a big misunderstanding between you and Miss George? In fact, Miss George only felt disappointed with Charlie's mishandling from the beginning. She's never been against you!"
"She's not against me, but she still resents me. However, this resentment is not why she wants to be with Fabian, so there are only two possibilities. One is because of the Holt family's current situation. If she wants a steady development, the fastest way is to marry Fabian. At least, in the eyes of many elders in the Holt family, it is the best way. Therefore, the marriage between her and Fabian has become her responsibility. I know her well. She has never feared responsibility!"
Clint didn't expect things to turn out that way.
Was this also the reason why Amos didn't go looking for Eudora this time? He had already figured everything out in his mind...
"What about the other reason?"
"The other reason?" Amos smiled bitterly. "It's possible that Eudora really thinks that Fabian is a good man, isn't it?" Amos thought.
When Amos did not answer, Clint continued hurriedly, "So, what do you mean by that?"
"Let the Nolan family receive the punishment they deserve!"
Realization dawned on him. No wonder!
