My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 419

Vincent didn't know what to say as he was too nervous. He gulped again.

Amos suddenly bellowed, "Tell me!"

Vincent was so scared that his heart was about to stop. He quickly explained everything.

Amos' eyes turned scarlet after hearing his explanation.

"Did you talk about it at home last night? Did you mention that you are coming to my place today?"

Vincent nodded and said, "Yes, I've told Grandma about it."

Charlie, who was standing next to Amos, instantly knew that this was a well-planned trap set up by the other party. A moment ago, he saw something dropping out of Vincent's pocket on the surveillance footage.

And the Madam had an emotional outburst after seeing that fallen object.

In a split second, Amos had his grip on Vincent's neck, "Why? Why won't they all just leave her alone? What has she done to deserve all of this?"

Vincent's neck was tightly clamped in Amos' large hands, and his face instantly turned purplish.

He desperately scratched and tugged on Amos's wrists as he shouted intermittently, "Uncle... Uncle..." Amos did not react to Vincent's cries. At that moment, his soul was emptied as soon as he imagined the heartbroken Eudora.

Very soon, Vincent's paddling hands became weaker. He was gasping for air with his mouth, and his eyes began to lose their focus.

The door to the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside and Juju shouted.

"Little wimp, you..."

In the next second, she cried out in horror, "Ah!"

Amos snapped out of it instantly and loosened his grip on Vincent's neck.

Vincent was like a fish that had been washed ashore and on the verge of dying. He was gasping for air and coughing forcefully.

Amos took the horrified Juju into his arms, "Juju, don't be frightened."

Juju was still a little terrified. She stared at Amos in horror, as though she was getting to know her father for the first time.

Her father was clearly a gentle and kind person. How could he suddenly turn into someone so... different?

Charlie explained in a panic on Amos' behalf, "Miss Juju, it is not what you think it is. Mr. Granger was just too angry. Please don't be afraid."

Juju stared blankly in Vincent's direction, and it took her a while to stop sobbing. She then asked in a soft voice, "Is he dead?"

Amos shook his head instantly, "No, your Daddy won't kill anyone."

He was so mad that he had forgotten about his child and wife that was still at home. Those who harmed Eudora were indeed abominable. However, it would have been a grave mistake to let his child and wife be affected because of those despicable people.

Little Juju was still unconvinced, as her eyes were still fixed on Vincent.

Charlie, who was watching the scene, was worried that Juju would start to view Amos differently because of this. Therefore, he explained hurriedly.

"Miss Juju, this is all but a misunderstanding. It was Young Master Vincent who had brought in something bizarre which disturbed the Madam..."

"Shut up..." Amos gritted his teeth. He did not want to mention the incident to Juju at all. Juju was still so young, thus, she shouldn't be told of such dreadful stuff.

However, Charlie had blurted everything out and Juju heard it all.

Amos explained to her in a hurry, "Don't think so much about it. It has nothing to do with you."

Juju listened to him quietly before turning around and hugging Amos, saying, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I've misunderstood you!"

This little girl was so sensible that it made Amos' heart ache. He shook his head instantly, "No, there's no need for Juju to apologize to me ever."

Juju then got down from Amos' arms and slowly walked over to Vincent. The surveillance footage that Amos had put on the screen a while ago was still there. The image of Vincent dropping something out of his pocket was rewound several times.

Juju's eyes gradually darkened after watching the footage.

The next second, she raised her hand and slapped Vincent in the face.

"Vincent, you are so mean. I thought that you were my friend, yet you harmed my Mom. Get lost. I don't want to see you ever again!"

Vincent's mouth was wide open in disbelief. He didn't know what had gone wrong, but it seemed that everything he had done was wrong in other people's eyes.

Looking at the sad look in Juju's eyes, Vincent's heart was also filled with unprecedented bitterness. It was akin to the feeling when his mother left him in the past. He felt helpless and sorrowful.

"Naomi..."

Vincent tried to explain.

"I'm not going to listen to you. Go away!"

Amos knew that a child probably couldn't do much. The main culprit was the group of people behind him. He almost choked him to death a moment ago, and he admitted that he had crossed the line. "Charlie, send him out."

Juju didn't want to see him, neither did Amos.

Charlie came over hastily, pulled Vincent up, and took him away.

The door of the study closed slowly. With one last glance, Vincent saw the expression on Juju's face as she cried in Amos' arms.

From then on, he never met Juju again until they both became adults.

Kesha had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

Finally, she saw the people in the Granger family pushing Vincent out. When she noticed that Vincent's face was filled with sadness and fear, she knew that her plan had gone well. Steven had initially said that he was going to approach Auntie Valerie. Kesha was still worried because her plans had fallen through many times because of Amos and Eudora.

She would be a fool if she did not learn from her past mistakes.

Therefore, she devised a plan B.

Coincidentally, Kesha and Steven happened to overhear the conversation when Vincent went home and told Bethany about the bullying incident the day before and how Juju had invited him over to her place. Even though Bethany wasn't happy to see them, it was still great for them to have received such an important piece of news.

She had been waiting for Vincent to return home that morning. As soon as she saw Vincent, she slipped the photo into his pocket while he was talking with Steven.

Vincent was unlikely to notice the photo in his pocket as kids were less aware of their surroundings. Kesha bet that there was a decent chance that it might draw Eudora's attention.

As soon as she imagined that Clearwater Bay must have been in havoc, Kesha was so thrilled that she wanted to witness the scene personally.

However, she decided to hold back the thought.

She then left the place with a smirk.

In the study, Juju was in deep guilt after Vincent left.

"What happened to Mommy? Did I hurt her?"

Amos instantly told Charlie to delete the copy of the footage and explained it to Juju.

"Your Mommy will be fine. She is very strong. But Juju, could you promise me that you would not be upset in front of your Mommy? She is in a bad mood now. We must try our best to stay calm so that she will feel better soon."

Eudora's reaction a moment ago was very obvious. She must have discovered something. However, she still held back her emotions in front of Amos. It was definitely because she didn't want to upset Amos. Therefore, Amos had to approach this incident even more cautiously in order to not hurt Eudora's emotion further.

If she didn't want to face it, then neither would they. As long as she was fine, he could pretend that nothing had happened for the rest of his life.

Juju didn't seem to understand it. However, she nodded her head when she heard her father saying that her mother would get better soon. "Okay, we will protect Mommy together."
