My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 1000

Hearing her words, the two men looked at each other.

"What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Granger is no ordinary woman. Haven't you heard of the infamous 'stock battle' in Rosaville City? It was Mrs. Granger who demolished her competitor all by herself!" "That can't be, right?"

The two men were shocked. They said in unison, "She looks like an average woman..."

"Yes, she is also very beautiful and vivacious, isn't she?"

The two men scratched their heads awkwardly and replied, "It's our fault."

The woman smiled faintly and said, "Well, that's too courteous of you. We are just doing business and as a business partner, I'm simply giving you advice. Don't be deceived by her appearance. Whether you heed it or not, it doesn't affect me. By the way, how is the guy?"

One of them instantly came forward to report.

"As per your instructions, we have beaten the sh*t out of him!"

The woman staggered back, and the man behind her asked anxiously after he heard it.

"Why did you hit him so hard?"

The woman interrupted him with a cough and praised them, "Ahem! You did a good job! You will be paid handsomely for your hard work."

"Thank you, Madam. What should we do next?"

The woman pursed her lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they must be very concerned about the guy's condition. Why don't you play along and put them together? After that, we wait and see!" Upon hearing that, the man who asked the question looked admiringly at her.

"You're really shrewd! Indeed, they have asked me multiple times about the guy just now. I ignored them and didn't reveal too much!"

The woman snorted as she spoke, "Well, my years of experience weren't in vain. If there are any problems afterward, you can contact my assistant! I trust there won't be anything for me to worry about?" After that, the woman got up and left.

The man behind her quickly followed. When they were outside, the woman took off the mask and revealed her face.

It was Monique!

As for the man behind her, needless to say, was Richard!

Richard was a little worried and said, "Miss Monique, didn't you say before that you just wanted to improve relationships between Mr. Luther and Miss George? Now that they've beaten him so hard, if Mr. Luther..."

"What are you so worried about?"

Monique was displeased and added, "If Nelson was really so fragile, then it's best that I dump him now! What's more, as a person valued by me, he can't be that worthless!"

Richard apologised, "I'm sorry, Miss Monique. I was too worried."

Monique turned and smiled at Richard. She said, "I know you are close to him. But you have to understand that the both of you are working for me!"

Richard nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, in the mountains.

The two men were chatting after Monique had left. One of them whispered.

"Cody, do you think what she said just now was true? Back in those days, was the 'stock battle' really Mrs. Granger's doing?"

Cody thought for a while as he stroked his chin. "Jerry, I can't say for sure. We will see!"

"Well, most importantly, we have to make some money from this. Otherwise, we'd waste this chance to make a fortune!"

Then, they exchanged a look.

Cody nodded and said, "Yes! If we get the money, you can buy a house in a big city with your wife and kids while I can go home and marry Rosie! Well be rich. How wonderful it is!" The two of them dreamt on when they heard the clanging of things falling to the ground from inside.

"Let's get to work first!"

The sound came from the room where Nelson was. He had accidentally knocked over the things from a table.

Cody went in and took a look. Then, he came out cursing.

"Behave yourself, don't make trouble if you don't want to come out dead. We are doing this for money and we have no intentions of killing you. Don't make me change my mind!" Naomi stepped forward and asked, "What happened to him?"

The man chuckled and said, "It seems that he is still alive. But if he continues to defy us, I can't guarantee anything!"

Naomi was frightened. She said, 'TH coax him into obeying you. Please let me see him, okay?"

Cody retorted, "No! You better stay obedient. Don't play tricks with us!"

Naomi immediately shook her head and said, "No! We won't make trouble. He is my boyfriend. I just want to know what happened to him!"

Hearing that, Eudora shot a glance at her daughter.

As a mother, she was able to understand her daughter's feelings. From the looks of it, Naomi was truly besotted with Nelson.

"I don't believe you! What if you replace a way to escape after you get together?"

Naomi pointed at Eudora and said, "You can ask my mother, he is really my boyfriend, and I just want to see him. We won't run away!" Eudora let out a sigh. Although she was worried about her daughter, she could only suppress her perturbation for the moment. "She is right, Nelson is indeed her boyfriend!"

Cody put on an act. He pretended to hesitate a little whereas Jerry pretended to persuade him,

"Bro, the guy is almost dead. They will not be able to escape in his condition, so I think it's not a big deal."

"What you said makes sense though. Then bring him here! I don't want to quarrel over this anymore. Let's go for a drink!"

With that, Cody left. Only then did Jerry walk out and drag Nelson over from the room next door.

"Behave yourself. If something goes wrong, you won't get off easily!"

Naomi didn't care about what Cody said. She was so focused on the wounds all over Nelson's body. He was in a stupor and couldn't even say anything when he was dragged in like this. Naomi wrapped herself around him and said, "Nelson, how are you?"

When he heard Naomi's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes.

At the sight of her, he was dazed.

"Why are you here?"

"That's not important. How are you? Are you not feeling well? Did they hit you badly?"

He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I feel weak. My body is hurting a little."

Eudora took a look at him. The parts that hurt should be where he had been punched, but it was weird that he was so weak and feeble.

"Did you smell anything strange?"

Hearing this, he raised eyebrows and looked at Eudora, and nodded his head right away as if he had thought of something.

"Yes! I seemed to have inhaled something before I passed out."
