My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 325

However, he still managed to replace two bodyguards that fulfilled Amos' requirements.

Two nannies were appointed to work in the Ruby House. Eudora would always see the two nannies sparring from time to time as if they were trying to fight. They would also occasionally play around with knives as if they were ninjas.

However, Juju was so happy that she played with them every day.

Of course, this was not the end of the story.

It was the first Board Meeting held since the Chairman of Valiant East had passed. It was also the meeting where they would go over his will.

The Old Master had already arranged the will before he passed, so there was basically no problem with this matter. Therefore, Eudora was also very relaxed. When she woke up that morning,

Eudora personally helped with Amos' tie as he was about to be promoted that day.

As soon as they made their way downstairs, they saw Bethany coming out.

Bethany Hamilton was wearing a dress this morning, with a white shawl over her shoulders. She looked very elegant. Eudora greeted her. "Are you heading out?" Bethany didn't reply, but Steven, who was next to her, said, "It's a big day for the company today. It's normal for Aunt Bethany to go and have a look!"

Eudora was stunned for a moment, but she thought his words made sense.

Hence, she nodded and said, "Right!"

"Eudora, you should go too!" Steven suggested.

Eudora shook her head and said, "It's okay!" She and Amos were not married yet, so it was not appropriate for her to attend the meeting.

Amos gave Steven a suspicious look and said, "See you at the company then!"

The Valiant East.

It was a big day for the company that day, so the directors were already all there when Amos arrived.

Everyone knew what was going on, so there was no need to beat around the bush. They went straight to the conference room, and everyone settled in their seats.

Finally, all eyes fell on Bethany. Although it was strange that she had appeared at the meeting, it was not unreasonable for her to come as the former Chairman's widow. No one said anything. Soon, the meeting began. Amos spoke.

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to execute the will. I have already invited Attorney Zayn. Now, I will ask him to read the will of the Old Master." Attorney Zayn quickly started to read the document. "The will states that all of Valiant East's properties will belong to Amos after the Chairman passes..." After that, he put down the will.

"Feel free to take a look at the will. The Old Master signed it himself..."

"Wait!" Bethany suddenly uttered.

Attorney Zayn was stunned, and all eyes fell on Bethany.

"Yes, Madam?"

"Hold on!" Bethany stood up. She was no longer the kind and gentle person she used to be. At this moment, she was filled with determination, as if she had completely changed into another person. "Attorney Zayn, you said that the will was written by the Old Master himself, but why do I also have a will in my possession?"

Attorney Zayn was stunned and he quickly glanced at Amos.

Amos' lips curled into a smile. He remained calm.

Ah, so this was their plan all along.

Bethany and Steven had joined forces. Amos thought of the Old Master's final words before his death. He couldn't help but frown.

It seemed that the Old Master had trusted the wrong people at the very end!

"President Granger, what do you think?"

Amos smiled, "Since they have the Old Master's will, why don't we have a look at it too?" Bethany took out a document. However, she did not read it herself. She looked around the conference room and finally handed the will to a board member who was more qualified.

Director Quartley was one of the Old Master's colleagues who had built the business with him. He was a very trustworthy man.

"Director Quartley, I don't know much about the company. But I have to respect the will of the Old Master. So, it's better for you to read it!"

Director Quartley nodded, "Take a look, President Granger."

At this moment, Amos would only garner suspicion if he refused, so he could only oblige.

"Okay."

Director Quartley cleared his throat and spoke.

"I'll read the will then."

The beginning was a long heartfelt story. Amos thought that the Old Master would tell a story about Bethany and his love, but it turned out to be a story about the relationship between Harry and him.

He mentioned how his brother had been silently supporting him ever since he took over Valiant East. He also said that even though Harry had made mistakes in the past, he had been using his own practical actions all these years to make up for those mistakes.

After that, the Old Master also praised Steven and said that he had a rare talent.

In the end, he talked about the people who lived under the same roof. The Old Master said that he had disappointed his father for failing to take the responsibility of being an elder brother.

He let his younger brother go down a path of no return.

"After I die, I'll distribute all the property of Valiant East into the following parts..."

Director Quartley paused for a moment and seemed to be a little surprised.

Bethany said blandly, "Is there any problem?"

Director Quartley shook his head and continued, "I have 65 percent of the shares, of which, 30 percent will be left for Steven, another 30 percent will be left for Amos, and the remaining 5 percent will be left to Bethany so that she could live well in her old age."

That meant that both Amos and Steven would get equivalent shares!

In the end, it was just as the Old Master always said when he was still alive. He would like the family to live harmoniously with each other.

Amos pursed his lips. He thought that Bethany would take the opportunity to take most of the fortune, but he didn't expect that she would only give herself 5% of it.

Steven, on the other hand, was in shock.

"How could this be? I don't even know what else to say about the deeds that my parents had done. And I had never expected for you to still care about us."

Director Quartley was a little depressed, "As we all know, this is a private limited company, and hence the person with the highest shares will become the Chairman of the company. Now, President Granger and Steven have the same amount of shares. How are we going to settle this then?"

Bethany pursed her lips, "I don't want my part of the shares. The feelings between me and the Old Master is far more than the shares. Since this is the most important moment for Valiant East, I'm willing to use it..."

Everyone nodded and looked at Amos. In everyone's eyes, Bethany would definitely give him a chance.

However, Bethany looked around the crowd and finally said, "I'll give it to Steven."

The crowd burst into an uproar, "Madam, what are you doing..."

"I know that everyone might replace my decision strange. Why didn't I give it to Amos? After all, he has always been in charge of Valiant East and he has done a good job thus far." Everyone nodded, "Yes, why?"

Bethany pursed her lips, "I was going to give it to Amos, but I have recently found out about something. If the Old Master was still alive, he definitely wouldn't let such a reason put Valiant East in a storm." Everyone looked at each other and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
