My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 543
Leslie didn't seem to catch what she said and he merely nodded his head along. "You're right..."
However, he seemed to come back to his senses at the very next second. "What did you say, Miss Eudora?"
"A milkshake shop! Don't you think that it's a good idea?"
Leslie was flabbergasted. "Miss Eudora... you must be joking, right?"
Eudora raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like I'm joking?"
She was obviously doing this on purpose! Tyler wanted her to reassume her identity as his daughter, but it seemed that she was a force to be reckoned with. She was trying to teach him a lesson for tearing her family apart and taking her happiness away/
"But, Mr. Holt... Leslie looked at Tyler again." Our casino has been there for almost 20 years!"
Tyler too was dumbfounded, and he resisted the urge to curse out loud. After all, that was the very first casino he had opened ever since he left the underworld.
The casino was his blood and sweat, and he had shared too many beautiful memories in there.
"Eudora, listen to me..."
"Didn't you say that you'd put me in charge? Are you regretting your decision now?" Eudora didn't give him the chance to explain at all.
Tyler's chest heaved heavily in anger. He had initially thought that this daughter of his would be easy to deal with. Only now did he realize that she too was a little devil. Tyler chuckled, trying to dispel the absurdity before him.
"Okay, just do whatever you want then. I will not regret my decision."
Great! Eudora raised her eyebrows, adding another suggestion subsequently.
"I'll prepare the renovation plans as soon as possible and the staff in the casino will need to be retrained and they will have new sets of uniforms too."
Both Tyler and Leslie were visibly troubled by the abrupt changes, and Eudora finally felt much better. She had finally avenged Amos!
At this moment, Tyler stood up from his seat with a smile on his face.
"Take your time with it. It wasn't easy to have you home, and I am very happy about it. I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to others as well. I want to let all the aristocratic families in Greene City know that you are my daughter!"
Eudora was unfazed. "There's no need for that!"
Leslie interjected immediately, "Miss Eudora, this is a kind offer from Mr. Holt. You should accept it!"
"Whatever!" Eudora then made her way upstairs.
Her phone rang when she was reading one of her design books.
Eudora picked it up and glanced at the screen. It was a number from Rosaville City. She frowned and answered the call.
As soon as she picked up the call, she heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from the other end.
"Miss George, I know that it's very presumptuous of me to be calling you, but are you free right now? I would like to meet you." Eudora froze. "Helen?"
Helen had taken care of her when she was pregnant. Plus, she was Doctor Leon's daughter, so Eudora had a good impression of her.
However, her tone sounded a little unfriendly this time.
Eudora didn't think too much about it. Seeing that it was still early, she then set a place to meet with Helen. Then, she grabbed her bag and made her way downstairs.
Helen was already there when she reached their meeting place.
Since it was Helen's first time in Greene City, Eudora asked, "What would you like for a drink?"
Helen looked away. "There's no need for that. I'm here to talk to you about Mr. Granger."
Eudora froze and cast a doubtful glance at Helen. She immediately understood what was happening.
Even though she hadn't noticed it before, she could see it clearly now. It was not strange for Helen to have feelings for an outstanding man like Amos!
Eudora composed herself and took a seat across Helen.
"What about Amos?"
Startled with Eudora's sudden lack of manners, Helen's self-esteem was a little hurt. She had always been perfect since she was young and she was greatly admired by others.
She had an excellent family background and her father was a famous surgeon. She had an outstanding personality and she had earned a place in one of the most prestigious medical schools. Her exceptional academic abilities had also allowed her to further her studies abroad.
She had always been respected by others wherever she was.
However, ever since she became Eudora's private doctor, she had been humiliated by Amos just because of the feelings she had for him.
However, her own father had repeatedly warned her to not have such thoughts towards Amos.
Was she that mediocre? Amos was indeed very outstanding, but she knew that she wasn't any weaker than Eudora.
Moreover, Eudora had even begun to treat her rudely. Helen could no longer bear it, and the words that came out from her mouth next were rather harsh.
"Miss George, I used to respect you very much. But I just can't understand you this time. Mr. Granger is so kind to you. No matter what reason you have, is glory and wealth more important than a man who loves you?"
Eudora blanked out for a second. She already saw it coming.
She always believed that there were plenty of women who sincerely admired and loved Amos. She had only left him for a few days, and someone had already come all the way to Greene City for him.
Eudora smirked as she looked at Helen.
"Do you like Amos?"
Helen blushed. Her anger was immediately taken over by shyness.
She was anxious and she explained hurriedly. "I... I don't..."
"Just go after him if you like him. Why did you come all the way here just to tell me all these?"
She would be contented as long as he could live a good life in the future and raise their children well.
Helen was flabbergasted. "Miss George, how could you say something like that? Do you know how much hardship President Granger had gone through because of you? He was so worked up and he had to return to the hospital because he started vomiting blood. It wasn't easy for him to settle the company's affairs, but he came to Greene City as soon as he was done with it. He said it was because he had some work to attend to here, but everyone knows that he came to replace you! Couldn't you feel his sincerity for you?"
Eudora held her breath. She felt as though her chest was stabbed by a rusty knife bit by bit.
It wasn't an immediate pain, but it felt as though the rough surface of the knife was grinding against her flesh slowly, and blood was oozing out...
No wonder he had lost so much weight.
However...
"So what? Since you already knew that I'm no longer with him, you would definitely know the reason as well. Since I've made my mind up to leave, I will never go back. If I were you, I wouldn't have come all the way here to say these words. I'd rather think of a way myself to make him feel better instead of looking for someone else to solve the problem."
After that, Eudora stood up and left.
Helen stood up with a frown and shouted.
"Eudora, are you really that heartless? Is this so-called glory and wealth more important than a man who loves you? You even abandoned your own child! Do you know what Juju asks me every day? She asked me why you had abandoned her. She asked if it was because she was not good enough."
Eudora's back stiffened and tears welled up in her eyes.
She clenched her fist, but in the end, she did not turn around.
Helen had mentioned that Amos had worked too hard for Valiant East. Therefore, at this very moment, she couldn't let anyone else have a chance to jeopardize the future of Valiant East.
