My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 249

The little woman and the little girl's bright smiles immediately crossed Amos' mind. He shook his head, "No, let them play. Let them know that I need to go on a business trip for the next two days. I'll come back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" the butler replied and hung up the phone.

After the call ended, the Old Master next to him asked, "What did Amos say?"

"The Second Young Master said that he needs to go on a business trip for the next two days and so he asked me to inform Miss George about it."

Old Master Granger did not look away. Instead, he stared at the butler expectantly. The butler was taken aback, "Yes?"

The Old Master's face suddenly sank, "Didn't he tell you to let me know about this as well?"

"No," the butler replied.

"That b*stard!" The old man gritted his teeth, "Alright, you may leave now!"

The butler nodded but he could not help but ask, "What about Miss George..."

"Mind your own business and don't ask the things that you shouldn't!" The butler hurriedly walked away!

After the butler left, the Old Master whispered to his assistant, "Find out what had really happened. Don't let the others know about it." The assistant was stunned, "Old Master, haven't you already confirmed that it was Miss George who did it?"

The Old Master immediately rolled his eyes at his assistant, "It was such a messy situation back then, so I could only replace a scapegoat first. Do I look like a senile old man?"

The assistant muttered in his heart, "Yeah, you do look like one."

Yet, he did not dare to say it out loud, so he shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, Old Master, you've always been a smart man. I'll investigate it immediately!" Meanwhile, behind the main building, Harry was drinking tea with Kaylene happily in his room.

"My brother must be very disappointed with Eudora this time. How dare she tried to murder his grandson. Amos will be furious once he comes back and realizes that Eudora had been locked up. The father and son will definitely argue and it would be difficult for them to make peace in the future."

Kaylene nodded, "You're so smart. You've actually killed two birds with one stone. However, wasn't it confirmed that Vincent is a child of the Granger family? Even if Amos is gone, we won't have the chance to inherit the property in the future!"

Harry snorted, "Do you think that Hank was really that lucky to have a child?"

Kaylene went blank with shock. "So..." "Enough, this is all that you need to know. Besides, everything is already under my control."

Kaylene nodded and she could not help but bring up her son again. "Steven said that he's almost out of money. He asked you to transfer one hundred thousand dollars to him."

Harry was stunned, "What on earth is he doing there? Why is he spending so much money? I have prepared houses, servants and cars for him. It's one thing if he doesn't study hard, but why is he spending so much money? I even put in a good word for him in front of my brother. Is that how he is going to repay me?"

Kaylene persuaded him hurriedly, "Don't be angry. Steven just spent a little more money than usual, at least he doesn't cause any trouble for our family! Besides, if we inherit the Granger family's company in the future, then money won't be an issue anymore!"

Harry's mood finally got a little better, but he was still visibly upset.

"Did he really think that I would give him one hundred thousand dollars that easily? Don't give him that much. You are spoiling the child."

"Okay!" Kaylene nodded.

"By the way!" Harry suddenly said, "I heard that it's going to rain tonight. Tell the servants to not send quilts to Eudora. When Amos comes back, he will be livid if they fell sick."

"Alright!" Eudora had been sitting in the dark room for hours and her eyes were finally getting used to the dark. She could not see clearly but she could vaguely guess that this place was similar to an isolated storage room. There was nothing inside. It was just an empty room.

If one looked carefully enough, they could even see some writings on the wall. A lot of people were probably brought here as punishment to repent for their mistakes.

There were no windows and it got really chilly after a while.

Eudora picked Juju up and put her on her lap. "The ground is chilly, so you should sit on Mommy's legs."

Juju shook her head, "Then, Mommy will get cold too."

"Mommy is not cold. Mommy is a grown-up!"

Juju finally sat down on Eudora's legs and could not help asking, "When will Daddy come back?" "Daddy will come back soon!" Eudora continued, "If Juju is bored, why don't I tell Juju a story?"

She slowly told Juju the story of the ugly duckling.

After listening for a while, Juju gradually fell asleep.

Eudora held Juju tightly in her arms. It was probably time for Amos to get off work, right?

However, no one came even though she had waited for a long time. She tried to listen carefully if there were movement outside, but there was nothing but silence. Eudora was starting to get anxious. She would most likely be fine but Juju was still so small and she had not eaten for the whole day...

At this moment, Juju stirred from her sleep. Sure enough, Juju rubbed her belly and whispered, "Mommy, I'm hungry."

"Juju, hold on a little longer..." Eudora replied and put her hands into her pocket. To her surprise, there were two candies in her pocket but she could not remember when she had put them in there. She pinched the candies and they were still edible. Therefore, she opened one and put it into Juju's mouth. "Here, eat a piece of candy first."

Juju ate the candy slowly and put her little hands around Eudora's neck.

After waiting for a while, still, nobody came. Eudora could not help but get up and walk to the door with Juju in her arms. She began to knock on the door. "Let us out!"

There was only silence outside. Eudora had to put Juju down and she began to study the door.

She was a designer, so she knew a little about the mechanism of doors and windows. There were no windows in this room and the only exit was made of iron.

Eudora pondered for a long time but she still could not think of a way to open it.

She sighed and held Juju in her arms again. "I'm sorry, I'm not capable enough."

Juju shook her head hurriedly, "Mommy, it's not your fault." Her daughter was such a sweet and thoughtful person. Eudora's nose tingled and she replied, "Thank you, Juju."

"Mommy!" Juju suddenly said, "Is it because I am not a boy? Is that why Grandpa doesn't like me? Just now, they asked them to lock everyone up but why did they only lock us up in the end?" Eudora was shocked when she heard Juju's words. She explained hurriedly, "That's nonsense. It's not like that. Boys and girls are the same to Mommy. Both Mommy and Daddy love Juju very much." "Then, it must be because Juju was unkind to Grandpa. That's why Grandpa doesn't like Mommy."

Juju suddenly got out of Eudora's arms and went to hammer the door with her small hands and shouted.

"Grandpa, it's all my fault. I'll listen to you in the future, so please, don't hate my Mommy, okay?"
