My Second Husband novel Chapter 776

The next morning, when Eudora had returned with the children after picking mushrooms in the mountains, she saw Charlie standing with an old man at the door.

"Mrs. Granger, Chef Uriah Fisher was adamant on seeing you, so I brought him here!"

Only then did she turn to look at Uriah. Previously, she had heard of his name from Amos. She had been pregnant back then, and was very picky with food.

It was also back then when Amos had started picking up culinary skills.

Only later on did she find out that it was Uriah who had taught Amos how to cook.

Eudora quickly beckoned to the two children behind her, "Come, greet Uncle Uriah."

Juju greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Uriah."

Sugar Bun followed suit in an incoherent mutter.

Uriah reached out to pat Sugar Bun on his head, praising him, "Very good."

After they entered the house, Charlie led the two kids away to read. Uriah sat down and took a look around the house.

"It's quiet here, a good place for both you and your children."

Eudora nodded, "Amos left this place for us!"

Uriah sighed and said, "It's a pity. Amos was a good man. What a terrible loss!"

The both of them fell silent for a while, then Uriah spoke.

Then, Uriah spoke, "When Charlie told me that you had something to discuss with me, I immediately understood what it was. Do you want me to cooperate with you in cutting off the Granger family's secret ingredient?"

It was said that the Valiant East Group had relied on their real estate business to prosper. However, in actuality, the Granger family's catering service also took up a major part in its success.

In the earlier years, the Granger family's ancestors had depended on their catering service to earn their first sum of money, then only did they switch to invest in real estate.

The Granger family's catering business had always been doing well. Naturally their quality and service were of priority. However, there was still another most important factor, which was their secret recipe.

The ancestors of the Granger family had a very important recipe to create a special sauce which used more than a hundred types of rare, valuable ingredients to concoct.

When cooked with vegetables, this special sauce could bring out and amplify the flavor within the vegetables. When used with meat, it could remove gaminess and enrich its taste.

The only ones who had knowledge of the special recipe were the head of the Granger family, and the director of the Valiant East Catering, Uriah Fisher.

Now that Amos was gone, the only one who knew of it was Uriah.

Eudora nodded, "I know that this request may sound demanding to you. Uriah, I've known since long ago about your many years of contribution to the Valiant East Catering. Certainly, you don't wish to see the catering company, which you've managed for so many years, fall into the pits!

"However, the Valiant East Group has now fallen into the hands of those who have ulterior motives. If I can't take it back, how will I ever face Amos and his family's ancestors?"

Uriah nodded in agreement, "As I'm already here, surely you know my stance. It's true that I'm unwilling to let my years of hard work go to waste, but I also know that a company as big as the Valiant East Group cannot simply be managed by just any random person. Instead of letting it fall into the hands of thieves, and making the journey in the future more difficult, I'd rather take my chances now."

"Thank you!" Eudora's heart was filled with joy. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome!"

Uriah stood up, took out a faded yellow paper slip, and handed it to her.

"This secret recipe now belongs to you, Madam."

Eudora hastily waved her hand to refuse it, "Th-this recipe has always been yours, it's better for you to keep it!"

"There's no need. It's been decades; I've memorised all the ingredients and quantities listed on it, so it doesn't matter whether I have it or not. However, it won't be good if it gets taken by someone who has ulterior motives."

His answer was reasonable, so she stopped refusing and instead accepted it with peace of mind.

Two days later.
