Eudora stood still. Before she could speak, one of them had already voiced loudly.
"This is Eudora George, isn't it? We're really not here to make a big deal out of this. It's just that since Amos has already passed on, it's time for you to hand over the keys to the Valiant East Group!"
Eudora frowned. The person in front of her was Roger Granger, the paternal cousin, who Old Master Granger had taken pity on back then.
Even though he was about the same age as Old Master Granger, he seemed more energetic and spry.
That was unsurprising. All these years, they had been using the shares given by the Valiant East Group to live completely carefree while Old Master Granger fought at the frontlines, providing for their every meal.
Hadn't they always been well supported?
It was just unlucky that they turned out to be a bunch of ingrates in the end!
Just as she was thinking about that, Roger's son, Sebastian Granger, who was technically Amos's paternal cousin, spoke up.
"I understand that you and Amos were close, but the Valiant East Group belongs to the Granger family! Is there anything wrong with us asking you to hand over the keys? By the way, hand over the Granger Mansion keys as well as the property deed of it. The Valiant East Group has been established for so long and must not be destroyed in the hands of an outsider."
Eudora sneered coldly, "Why should I?"
He probably had not expected her to be so stubborn, so he was stunned before he answered with a laugh.
"What do you mean by that? Those things belong to our family. Isn't it normal that I ask you to return them? Should our family's property be taken away by an outsider after Amos is dead? Things shouldn't work like that!"
Roger also nodded, "Yes, they shouldn't. You have to hand them over today, whether you like it or not!"
Eudora's heart was filled with sorrow. If they had originally come to pay their respects, she might have treated them like family. If something really were to happen in the future, she would actually consider returning the Valiant East Group to the Granger family.
However...
They were so ambitious that they wanted to strip her of her power as soon as they arrived.
How could she be okay with handing over Amos' hard work to these people?
That would be impossible!
She gritted her teeth, saying, "You keep saying that you're part of the Granger family and Amos was part of your family. He worked hard day in, day out for the Valiant East Group. What about you, though? You've done nothing, yet you enjoy the best privileges possible. Now that he's gone, are you all even the slightest bit sad? Not at all!"
Not only are you all not sad, but all you care about now is his money!"
Many people, who had come here to pay their respects, came out when they heard the commotion happening outside.
Everyone heard Eudora's words and immediately showed contempt towards Roger and Sebastian.
Roger's face was full of shame, and he started to lose his temper.
"What are you talking about? Amos is a member of the Granger family. How could we not be sad? You on the other hand, what are you doing? I still doubt that Amos could have disappeared just like that. Maybe it was you who killed him so that you could have the company!"
She felt a stab in her heart and suddenly raised her head, giving Roger an icy look.
"Shut up!"
How would he be willing to shut up? What he wanted was chaos! The more chaotic things were, the easier it would be for opportunities to be created.
Thinking of that, he clutched his chest and started violently coughing while he squeezed some tears out.
"My poor nephew! People talk about how much you loved your wife. However, what has this woman done to you in the end? She wants you to die for her own selfish desires! Woe to us that we have to send off the young before ourselves..."
As he finished, his body swayed as if he was about to faint from grief.
