My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 521
The more Eudora thought about it, the more convinced she was.
Amos had always been regarded as a thorn in Bethany's side. Ever since Old Master Granger passed away, she seemed to have become a completely different person!
First, she took Amos' position, then she tried to oust him in every possible way. Eudora had suffered from partial memory loss before that, so she had forgotten about all these temporarily.
However, now that her memories had returned, she clearly knew Bethany's true colors.
Eudora immediately took out her phone and dialed Clint's number.
However, the call couldn't seem to get through at all.
Clint mentioned that he would go to the company to deal with some work in the afternoon, but he had yet to return. Now that Amos was detained, Clint was the only one who could help to investigate Bethany. Eudora frowned. At this moment, she received a call.
"Clint!" Eudora said hurriedly,
The other party was silent for a moment before saying, "Is this Miss George? You're Clint's friend, aren't you? Mr. Zuckerberg currently has to be detained for 15 days as he had interfered with our official duties."
Eudora froze for a moment, "How could that be?"
Clint was not a fool. How could he make such a rookie mistake at this moment?
"Could I meet him?" Eudora asked.
"Yes, of course."
Eudora immediately asked for the address and rushed over the next morning. Clint was despondent over the fact that he had been detained.
"Mrs. Granger, I have been falsely accused. I was just trying to pay President Granger a visit. But they didn't allow me to visit him, so I left. Later, one of the nurses said that she could bring me in to have a look at him, so I went back in. However, as soon as I entered the room, someone came in and said that I was trespassing a prohibited area and that I was obstructing official duties! Till now, I still don't understand what had happened."
Eudora took note of the certain words that were mentioned by Clint, "Where have you gone to see Amos?"
Clint realized that he had accidentally slipped his tongue and he immediately tried to cover it up. "No, nothing..."
"I heard it! You have to tell me immediately. Did something happen to Amos? If you don't tell me, I will not be able to stop myself from worrying!"
Clint had no choice but to tell her, "Mr. Louis lied to you. President Granger has not recovered at all. He fell ill after being taken away by the police. He was then sent to receive treatment at their hospital..." Eudora's heart skipped a beat. "How is he doing now then?"
Clint shook his head. "I'm not too sure either. I was worried, that's why I wanted to pay him a visit. But the officers at the police station said that President Granger's case is a criminal case, so we can't visit him..."
Although that was what he said, Clint could guess that Amos was certainly not doing too well. Eudora could easily guess what was going on too, especially since she knew Amos so well. "Where is Harley? I'm going to replace him!"
"There's nothing that Mr. Louis could do. He was suspended for the time being because there's a conflict of interest due to his friendship with President Granger."
Eudora finally understood the severity of this matter. The other party was obviously well prepared, catching them off guard.
Clint also sighed. "In fact, President Granger already had everything well arranged and he was prepared to fight Bethany till the end. With his intelligence, it would've been impossible for Bethany to have such an opportunity if it weren't for his illness and the fact that he couldn't take care of the company's affairs recently!"
Eudora's face grew sullen.
She knew that this time, she was the one who had troubled Amos again.
Clint realized that he had misspoken and he said hurriedly, "Mrs. Granger, that wasn't what I meant, I..."
"It's fine. I know," Eudora pursed her lips. "When I came in just now, the officer told me that you would be detained for fifteen days. That's not too long. Since you have been detained, you should just stay here for the time being, it's not a big deal. We'll discuss this further once you're released. I'll deal with the rest."
Clint nodded, but he couldn't help but remind Eudora, "Mr. Feld has been working with President Granger for many years, and there are many things that he knows of. If you really need help, you could replace him."
"Sure!" Eudora nodded.
Eudora felt both mentally and physically exhausted after leaving the detention center. For the first time, she felt as though she was trapped in a huge net and she couldn't breathe.
Eudora drove her car forward slowly. She soon found herself at the entrance of the hospital where Amos was being treated at.
She stared at the entrance of the hospital. She really wanted to go in and take a look at Amos.
However, she couldn't.
Thinking of the consequences that Clint had to bear, she knew that she couldn't take any more risks for the safety of Juju and Sugar Bun.
Therefore, Eudora dismissed her thoughts and left after standing outside for a long time.
She handled her discharge formalities immediately upon returning to the hospital. After all, she was already recovering well. During times of emergencies like this, she really could not waste her time staying in the hospital.
Sugar Bun was left in the hospital being under Cindy's care.
Eudora immediately went to check on Juju once she got home. Wesley had fetched Juju back from school as usual, and fortunately, nothing happened.
Eudora felt a bit of relief as she hugged Juju.
"Juju, you once mentioned that there was a shooting championship in Cloud City, right? Since you seem to be quite free recently, Wesley, why not you take her there!"
Juju immediately cheered.
"Mommy, you're so awesome!"
However, she held Eudora's hand again once she stopped cheering, "Mommy, are you and Daddy coming with me?" The child was hoping that both her parents could accompany her.
Eudora shook her head. "No! If Mommy leaves, who is going to look after Sugar Bun? He's still small and he's currently still in the incubator. He needs Mommy. Besides, your Daddy's is still feeling unwell, so we can't accompany you this time."
Juju pouted her lips. "I won't go either then. There will still be a next time for our whole family to go there together!" Eudora felt very relieved upon hearing her daughter's sensible response. However, this time, Juju had to leave.
Now that Amos had been framed and Clint was detained, it was no longer safe for her to continue staying in Rosaville City.
She was afraid that their enemy's next step was to attack her child. Since she was still unable to confront them, Eudora could only ensure her child's safety by sending her away for now. Especially Juju, since she was a student. The school was an easy place to lay their hands on.
"But Mommy needs to take care of Sugar Bun and I might not be able to take care of you now. That's why I asked Uncle Wesley to go out and play with you! Why don't you go over and help Mommy see if there's anything exciting about the shooting championship? In that case, you could explain it to Mommy the next time when we go together!"
Juju was finally convinced, and she nodded.
"Okay, it's a deal. Let's go together again when Daddy and Sugar Bun are feeling better!"
After Juju left the room, Wesley said in a low voice,
"Don't worry, Mrs. Granger. Leave Miss Juju to me. I will do my best to protect her and I will not let anything happen to her."
It was conceivable how dangerous the situation was, seeing that even Wesley could sense it.
