In the flash of an eye, twelve years passed.
Amos had already stood in front of the street lamp in the Granger family backyard for the whole morning.
Eudora walked out from behind him and could not help but complain when she saw him standing there.
"I told you not to bring this street lamp back. Why is it here?"
Amos burst out laughing, "A new batch of street lamps will be replacing these old ones in that neighborhood. If I don't bring them back, they will be destroyed. This lamp is a witness to our love. How could I allow it to be destroyed?"
Eudora ignored him and scoffed, "Are you ready? We don't have much time!"
Amos frowned, "Ready for what? Why am I not informed?"
"Don't you know? Today is Juju's 20th birthday. I've already made plans since half a month ago, her birthday celebration will be held in a hotel in Rosaville City. Don't tell me that you're still not aware!"
As she said that, Eudora placed her hands on her waist and glared at Amos.
Although she was over 40 years old, Amos still felt that Eudora was the same as before: a young, cheerful and spirited young girl.
He smirked and was about to hug her.
Just then, Sugar Bun walked out from the house. Upon seeing this, he immediately closed his eyes in what seemed like fake pain.
"Why are you two so lovey-dovey in the morning? Poor me!"
Sugar Bun was already a fourteen-going-on-fifteen-year- old teen. He resembled Eudora, but also inherited the charisma of the Granger family.
Eudora rolled her eyes at him and shooed him away, "Don't disturb your father and I!"
Sugar Bun was speechless.
He looked at his watch and shouted again, "Mom and Dad, hurry up. If we're late, Juju will shout at us again!"
"What are you talking about?" Eudora glared at Sugar Bun while saying, "Don't talk about your sister like that!"
As the mother and son were busy bickering, Amos took Eudora by the hand.
"Alright, let's go!"
"Wait! You haven't changed your clothes yet!"
Amos chuckled, "Do you really think I'm old and forgetful? You've been preparing this for our daughter for half a month. Did you think that I did nothing for her? I've already prepared everything for her in the car! Let's go!"
Soon, they reached a hotel owned by Valiant East.
Twelve years ago, Amos had formally established Valiant East. The group had continued to develop at the speed of light. By now, it had not only established operations in Rosaville City, but also around the country and even around the world. In fact, it was even considered an internationally renowned company.
Initially, it was involved in the real estate and catering industries, which later expanded to the hotel, tourism, and electronic industries. For the past two years, the company was even involved in the entertainment industry.
In fact, the hotel that they were going to that day had already replaced the previous Rosaville City Hotel to become one of the most famous landmarks in Rosaville City.
Every day, there was an endless stream of people who would visit the hotel who came from all around the world.
However today, the hotel had closed off many of its entrances and left only its front door wide open. It was to celebrate the chairman's daughter's 20th birthday.
When their car reached the main entrance, most of the other guests had also arrived.
The red carpet outside the entrance was littered with people. Several newly signed actors from Valiant East's entertainment company had also arrived at the party.
However, as soon as they saw Eudora and Amos's car, all the cameras and reporters gathered around the three Granger family members.
"Madam George, Madam George..."
Amos subconsciously shielded Eudora behind him while shaking his head at everyone else.
"We will not accept any interviews today, thank you!"
