My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 53

Amos Granger stared at Christopher Gellert's shoulder for two seconds. Then, he walked over and held Eudora George's hand. He frowned instantly when he saw the teeth mark on Eudora's arm. He asked, "What happened?"

Eudora covered the mark with her hand immediately and said, "Oh, nothing. During the commotion earlier, I accidentally...'

"Let's go. We need to disinfect your wound," Amos said.

"There's no need..." But before she could finish her words, Amos carried her up.

They were in the corridor so Eudora immediately compromised. "Okay, put me down. I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Amos put her down and took her to the outpatient clinic.

"

Christopher stared at them and narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he stood up and exclaimed, "Eudora, you can get off work first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Since Christopher had said so, and there was nothing else to do in the hospital, Eudora followed Amos back after receiving treatment.

It was already late when they returned to the Granger Mansion. The whole family was sitting in the living room. Seeing them coming back, Kaylene Yoder couldn't help but snort, "The whole family is waiting for both of you for dinner! Can't you at least inform us if you were going to be late? Amos, I can understand that you might forget to inform us because you're so busy. But can't the person next to you remind you also?"

Amos frowned and said, "Second Aunt, have you mistaken the time? It's not the time for dinner yet, right?"

Kaylene wanted to make things difficult for Eudora. However, she did not expect Amos to defend her. She felt humiliated.

Harry Granger said, "Amos, since when do you care about this petty matter. Please come over. I have something to talk to you about."

Amos was unhappy. He said, "Uncle, I don't have anything to talk to you."

Harry was angered by his words. However, he could not lose his temper in front of the Old Master.

In the end, Bethany Hamilton tried to make peace. She said, "It's not easy to have Amos home for a few days. Let's just stop arguing. I'll ask the servants to serve the dishes for dinner."

Finally, everyone stopped talking. They got up and walked to the dining area.

Amos turned around and saw Eudora smiling at him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly feel that you look really manly," Eudora said.

Was that a compliment? Amos thought. Then, he frowned and asked, "Does it mean that I wasn't manly to you before?"

"Of course you were always manly to me, but you are even more so now," Eudora replied.

"You cunning little fox! You like the feeling of me protecting you, huh?" Amos asked.

Eudora's heart skipped a beat when Amos flirted with her.

"Who doesn't like to be protected?" she asked him back.

"Then, remember to perform better tonight!" he said. "You rascal!" Eudora cried.

Eudora went back to the room after dinner. She was still worried about what had happened today. She took out her mobile phone to browse the news. The news had gone viral. Lots of people were scolding the boss for causing the death of the employee.

Everpeace was in big trouble!

Amos pushed the door open and entered the room when Eudora was reading the news. He lay down beside Eudora, playing with her long hair.

Unexpectedly, Eudora ignored him today. Amos took Eudora's mobile phone away and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Eudora quickly grabbed her mobile phone back. She said, "Hey! I haven't finished reading yet."

Amos frowned and asked, "Are you worried that Everpeace will get into big trouble?"

"How can I not be worried? I like this job very much..." Eudora replied. "Well, you can work in Valiant East!" Amos said while smiling. "The design department at Valiant East has a lot of projects that are suitable for you."

Eudora shook her head and said, "No. I want to complete this project."

"What about me?" Amos said. Then, he pressed her down immediately.

"Hey!" Eudora laughed. "Well, work is more important than you!"

"Eudora George!" Amos gnashed his teeth and gave her a hard slap on her buttock.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, okay? You're more important than work! Ah..." Eudora couldn't even finish her words.

The rest of the words were all swallowed by passionate kisses.

The next day, Eudora saw her white POLO parked in front of the entrance.

"Oh, my car is fixed?" Eudora exclaimed happily.

"Yes! President Granger also had asked the workshop to change the windows and the car body to more durable materials. He also asked them to install an alarm and GPS tracking system inside." Clint Zuckerberg showed her what he had just mentioned.

Eudora was surprised, "Wow! Isn't this too much?"

"No, it isn't!" Clint laughed. "President Granger said that safety is the most important thing," Clint added. Eudora was touched at what Amos had done for her. She said, "Please help me to thank President Ganger on my behalf."

"Well..." Clint smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm afraid that President Granger would like to hear you thank him in person."

That's true. Eudora nodded her head and said. "All right then!"

After expressing her gratitude to Clint, Eudora got into her car and started the car engine. The tie she had bought last time was still in the back seat. Eudora opened it to check. It was still in good condition. After putting it away, she drove to her company.

Eudora could feel something was wrong when she entered the company.

Christopher's secretary approached her when she just sat down at her desk. She got up immediately and asked, "Where is President Gellert?"

"President Gellert is on his way here. We received a phone call from the police station just now. The results of the investigation came out. The police had confirmed that the rope was the problem. We tried to contact the rope manufacturer but we found out that the company had shut down."

Eudora's heart sank. They couldn't escape the impending problems.

The secretary's phone rang again. She was so shocked after she answered the phone call.

"What? The victim's family is going to jump off the building?" "Eudora, what should we do?" the secretary asked Eudora.

"I'll go to the hospital now. Please get President Gellert to go to the hospital too," Eudora replied. They had lost one life from this incident. The consequences would be unimaginable if they lost another three more lives.

After saying that, Eudora went downstairs immediately.

At the hospital, from a distance Eudora could see the mother and children standing on the rooftop of the building. Doctors, nurses and patients had gathered below the building.

The policemen had arrived as well. However, they could only stand on the periphery of the top floor, not daring to act hastily.

Eudora met Christopher, who had also rushed over at the main entrance. They exchanged a look nervously.

After announcing their identities to the policemen, they went up to the top floor from the back door. A policeman was negotiating with the woman.

"Please don't do anything stupid. What happens to your children if anything happens to you?"

The two children were hugging the woman's thighs like yesterday. There were confused and fearful looks on their faces.

There was no expression on the woman's face. She said with a hoarse voice, "My husband is dead and the manufacturer has run away. What hope do we have?" The policeman said immediately, "You're wrong. Everpeace is also involved in this, and as long as the company is still here, they will help you."

"You're lying!" the woman shouted. "The businessmen are all the same!"
