The next day, Eudora prepared breakfast for the two children. Before she could take a bite, Clint called again.
Clint had always been a very calm and selfdisciplined man. However, this time, his voice became anxious.
"Madam, we're in trouble!"
Eudora's hand paused. She looked up and saw the eyes of the two children looking at her. She hurriedly obtained control of her emotions.
She smiled and said, "It's all right. Say it slowly."
As she spoke, she walked outside slowly.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Clint's voice.
"It's about the stock market. They've bought a lot of stocks from our company, and we've compiled all the data about it. What I'm worried about now is that they've taken advantage of our stocks falling to buy them in mass amounts. If they sell them again in the future, our market will crash!"
They were using the same old trick again!
Of course, Eudora knew that.
Clint couldn't help but blame himself again, "It's all my fault. If President Granger was here, he would've noticed it a long time ago. I've been with President Granger for so many years, but I haven't even learned a third of his expertise. I'm so useless."
Eudora smiled wryly, "There's no need to blame yourself. If we go according to what you've said about needing to learn something from someone you've been with for a long time, then I'm even more useless. I've stayed with Amos for an even longer time, yet I still haven't learned from him either."
Clint was dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, Madam. I'm not saying that you're useless, but that..."
"It's alright! Please help me contact Leslie!"
Clint was stunned, "Madam, are you going to agree to his request? However, if President Granger knew about this, he wouldn't agree!"
Eudora pursed her lips, "I know he wouldn't agree because he's always been protecting me like a treasure. However, Clint, it's dangerous now. I can't just stand aside and watch this unfold! I must try my best this time!"
Clint gritted his teeth.
"Madam..." "Don't persuade me anymore! Go ahead and arrange for it! I won't let myself be in danger. After all, I still have two children!"
She paused for a while.
She added, "Don't let Harley know about this."
After all, Harley had his own principles. Good and evil people could not be merged. As a friend, she had to respect his principles.
"Got it!" Clint said in a low voice.
After hanging up on the call, Eudora looked up at the sky above her head.
The weather was good today. In the morning, she had witnessed the sunrise. It was so bright, so beautiful.
However, in her heart, she felt so uneasy as if her heart was being pressed by a big stone.
She thought that she would be able to have things in her way if she struggled through them with all her might. However, after going around in circles, she was still back to square one.
She did not know what other obstacles she would face after accepting her defeat this time.
However, she also knew.
This time, it was time for her to protect Amos. No matter what storm awaited her, she could not retreat.
While Eudora accompanied the two children to have breakfast, Clint had already arrived outside.
Eudora got into the car.
Clint said, "I've already contacted him. When do you think we should go there?"
