My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 109
"Miss George!" Wendy Liam stopped her again, as she handed her an invitation.
"My design company is about to open for business soon. I hope that you can be there, Miss George."
The gold-plated invitation was a little dazzling. Eudora George did not take it. "I don't think that's necessary. I have nothing to do with Amos Granger anymore. You don't have to come look for me anymore." However, Wendy caught up to her again. "This is something between you and me! What does it have to do with Amos?"
Eudora frowned. "If it's just you and me, then it's more unnecessary, because I don't like you!"
She thought that she had made it clear, but Wendy still wasn't giving up.
Eudora frowned, subconsciously giving her a push. All of a sudden, the lights above her head went out, and her vision fell into complete darkness.
There were no windows in the backstage room where they were located, and they couldn't see anything in front of them without the lights.
Eudora stopped instinctively, and it was not until she had calmed down that she started to shout.
"Wendy?"
But there was already no response! "Ah!" There was a sudden scream in the corner of the room. Eudora subconsciously walked two steps quicker, and before she knew, a strong wind blew over her head. Then after, she felt a pain at the back of her head and immediately fainted.
At the Valiant East.
In the conference room, the workers were still presenting their work, but Amos' mind had long drifted out.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 2:50 pm. Today was the day of Eudora's finals, and it would start at 3pm.
He somehow recalled that moment, when she was in the preliminary round, where he didn't arrive in time to see her because of Wendy. Later on, that little woman got drunk and complained to him about it in the car.
At that time, he promised her that he would go to the finals.
"President Granger?" Clint Zuckerberg whispered three times before Amos came to his senses. Clint took a glance at the person who was presenting his plan, and hinted to Amos, "What do you think of this plan?"
Amos frowned. The next second, he stood up abruptly.
"The meeting is suspended for the time being, we'll continue this tomorrow!"
Leaving this sentence behind, he strode out.
Clint hurried to follow him. "President Granger, do you need me to push back your schedules?"
"What do you think?"
While they were talking, Harley Louis came in from outside in a panic.
"Amos..."
Amos looked at the time, he said immediately, "Let's talk about it when I come back."
Harley frowned. "Where is he going?"
Clint smiled and said, "Today is Miss George's final match. The recording will start at three o'clock."
"I want to go too!" Harley hurriedly chased after them.
Clint did not know what to say.
Amos drove all the way to the recording site. Fortunately, he was not late.
The recording had just begun when he went in, and the host walked out to introduce the guests. Amos had already reached the best seat he had booked in advance, but after second thoughts, he chose to exchange it with a man in the corner.
As soon as they exchanged their seats, the host began to announce the name of the participating designers.
However, when he called out Eudora's name, no one walked out from the back.
The host looked awkwardly at the direction of the director, "Designer George might still be preparing..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly ran out from backstage. He whispered something to the director. The director's face darkened in an instant, and he communicated with the host through his headphones.
Soon enough, the host said, "Due to some personal reasons, Designer George could not be present for the recording today...'
Amos frowned, subconsciously looking at the person who ran out just now.
The next second, he got up to chase after him.
The man was already running towards the door, but Amos managed to stop him. "Where did Designer George go?"
"
The man assumed that Amos was part of the audience, so he said with a forced smile, "Designer George has some personal matters to attend to, so she withdrew..."
The next second, Amos raised his hand to grab the man's neck. "Tell me the truth!"
The man was startled by Amos and he said in a haste, "I don't know what happened either. Miss George was originally rehearsing in the front, but someone came to see her all of a sudden, and she disappeared after. I only found this in the room..."
After that, he fished out a necklace and handed it to Amos. "I was just about to call the police."
Amos recognized the necklace, it was the necklace that Eudora's mother had left for her. Eudora had always carried it with her.
Considering the fact that she had suddenly dropped the necklace like this, something must be terribly wrong!!! After thinking about it, Amos snatched the necklace from the man, turned around, and ran out. The man tried to stop him in a hurry. "Sir, you can't take the necklace away."
However, Amos ignored him completely. He had already left the place.
When he arrived at the entrance, he saw Harley chasing after him in a haste.
"Why did you come out? Didn't you say you were going to watch Sister-in-law's final match?"
Amos furrowed his brows, "She's missing!"
"What?" Harley's heart sank, and Amos told him briefly about the current situation. "I'm planning to replace someone to access the surveillance here."
An uneasy thought suddenly came to Harley's mind. He remembered what he meant to tell Amos earlier.
However, he swallowed back those words.
"I'll get the surveillance for you!"
Harley could only hope that it was just a misunderstanding, such that it wouldn't turn anymore serious.
Due to Harley's identity, he had the access the surveillance quite quickly. When they found the surveillance video of the room where Eudora was just now, they found that all the cameras were spoiled. It was pitch-black on the screen, and nothing was there.
Harley frowned as he exchanged looks with Amos. The situation was far more serious than they'd thought.
Conning out of the surveillance room, Harley finally couldn't refrain himself from saying what he intended to say anymore.
"I've received news that Thomas Shelby has sneaked back..."
"What?" Amos gnashed his teeth. "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?"
"I just got the news myself too!" Harley frowned.
Amos' heart suddenly sank in despair. "Thomas Shelby..."
Thomas Shelby was a complete lunatic. If Eudora were to fall into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Search for him!" Amos gnashed his teeth angrily. "Even if I had to dig three feet deep into the ground, I do not believe that I would not be able to replace him!"
In the dark, Eudora desperately wanted to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't open them,
She stretched her hand out, desperately wanting to grab something. But in the next second however, she heard a whipping sound in the air, and something struck her body.
It was incredibly painful.
Eudora pressed her wound tight, wanting to see who had hit her, but she couldn't see the person no matter how she tried to.
A child's voice sounded in her ear, "Run!" Who was it? Eudora opened her eyes with all her might. She finally woke up the next second.
The back of her head was still throbbing in pain. She wanted to sit up, but she came to realize that she was tied up.
Scenes before she fainted suddenly came into her mind. Eudora scanned the surroundings in a hurry. Wendy was also tied up not far away from her, but she had not woken up yet. Eudora frowned. What was going on? Were they kidnapped?
