My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 546
Everyone else at the banquet looked over in interest, eager to see what was happening.
Eudora's heart was beating rapidly against her chest. What was Amos doing?
Didn't Helen already declare war against her, confident that she could pursue Amos? Why hadn't she taken Amos away then? It was very dangerous for him to be here right now! At this moment, Eden started howling again.
Not far away, Tyler and Eden's father, Bruise, were already walking toward them. Tyler immediately noticed Amos, and his eyes narrowed.
In a split second, Eudora grabbed Fabian by the arm.
She turned to look at Amos calmly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Granger."
Amos clenched his fists in the pocket of his trousers.
Tyler turned his eyes and looked at Eden, who had been causing a ruckus. "What happened here?"
"Dad!" Eden immediately jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"You've got to speak up for me! I was just greeting Miss George, but I was beaten up for no particular reason!"
Even though Bruise had always been very respectful towards Tyler, but Eden was his only son. He was unhappy that his son had been beaten up.
"Mr. Holt, we are your guests. This is a bit..."
Tyler had only attained his current reputation in Greene City because he had his own way of handling things in his daily life. In any case, it was of the utmost importance to explain this matter to the public accordingly!
He furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Eden glanced at Fabian meekly and decided to put the blame on Amos.
"It's him... He said that he's Miss George's admirer, and he started hitting me as soon as he came here."
Tyler's face fell. He glanced at Fabian, who was standing next to Eudora. Fortunately, Fabian didn't respond.
Tyler then turned to look at Amos. "If I remember correctly, Mr. Granger, you're not on my guest list, are you? Yet, you came to my banquet and even tarnished my daughter's reputation. Guards..." Eudora's heart immediately clenched, and she stopped him hurriedly.
"Wait a minute!"
Tyler turned around to look at Eudora. "What? Are you going to plead for mercy for him?"
Eudora opened her mouth and said, "Of course not, but you couldn't possibly just listen to one side of the story on this matter, could you? As a person privy to this matter, you should listen to what I have to say too!"
Tyler's expression was grim. He could tell why Amos had come all the way here. However, he couldn't be too harsh on him at this moment.
There were so many guests in the banquet, and if they were to go too far, they would only end up making a fool out of themselves. Therefore, he nodded with a solemn expression on his face. "Go ahead then!"
Only then did Eudora look at Eden. "You said that this gentleman hit you. Yes, he did hit you, but Mr. Nolan and I hit you too." Bruise's expression fell even further.
"Mr. Holt! What is your daughter trying to say? Is she trying to show off after hitting my son?"
Eudora shook her head. "Of course not, but you should think about it, Sir. Why did I choose to hit him when there are so many people around? It was because he was speaking rudely to me earlier! He came over to have a chat with me just now, but after rejecting him, he said that I was a divorcee and that I'm trash. Am I right?"
Amos' face darkened. Fabian and Tyler, who were standing next to him, looked furious too.
Tyler was Eudora's father, so he was the first to speak.
"Is that so?"
Eden was still trying to deny it. "I... I didn't say that..."
Immediately, guests who had witnessed the whole episode came out to testify. "Miss George is right. That was what he said!"
Bruise immediately froze.
"Mr. Holt, my son has crossed the line. Please forgive us."
Tyler sneered. "Guards, please take this gentleman to the lounge. He may rest there."
Bruise was anxious. "There's no need for that, Mr. Holt. We shall take our leave now."
However, Tyler ignored him. The bodyguards beside him quickly took Eden away.
Tyler then looked at Bruise and said with a smile, "The child is still young and ignorant. This has nothing to do with the adults! The banquet is not over yet. Please enjoy the rest of the evening!" Bruise nodded, but his legs immediately went wobbly after Tyler left.
Tyler turned to look at Amos after the crowd dispersed.
"Are you not leaving yet? Or would you like me to ask someone to escort you out?"
Amos glanced at Eudora, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"I'm a guest, aren't I?"
Tyler snorted coldly. "Everyone else is a guest, but you're not. You've seen it just now. If it weren't for you, why would Eudora have been insulted like that?"
Amos smiled. "Mr. Holt, wasn't it you who had separated me from Eudora?"
Tyler gritted his teeth. "Amos! You knew clearly that you two are divorced!"
"Yes, of course, I do. But, you didn't say that I'm not allowed to pursue Eudora after we're divorced. Miss George is naturally beautiful and charming, and I like her very much. So, I came all the way here to attend this banquet. Here, I officially issue a notice to Miss George that I am pursuing her."
Tyler's face fell. "Amos!"
Amos no longer paid attention to Tyler. Instead, he looked at Fabian.
"What do you think, Mr. Nolan?"
Fabian pursed his lips, and he could clearly feel that his fingers were tightly held by Eudora.
He was not a fool. He could easily tell that Eudora bore no feelings towards him. At least for now, she only had Amos in her heart.
He didn't think that he was any weaker than Amos. It was just that Eudora had yet to realize that he was equally as capable.
Coincidentally, Amos had come all the way here to present himself as his competition.
Fabian, naturally, was very willing to accept the challenge.
"Sure!" he said with a faint smile, "But, Mr. Granger, you don't stand a chance!"
Amos remained silent. He took another look at Eudora before turning around and walking out.
Once Amos was far away, Tyler looked at Fabian with confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
Fabian smiled and said, "Uncle Tyler, don't worry. I have yet to give my answer to your question about Eudora the other time. Now, I hereby tell you that I think Eudora is very amazing and she's the one that I'm looking for as a partner. So from now on, I want to officially date her. I hope that you could help me.1
Tyler was very happy. One was his own daughter, and the other was an outstanding young man whom he had always thought highly of. In the future, the Holt family would definitely continue to flourish if the tw of them could be together.
Tyler composed himself and put aside all the unpleasant things that had happened because of Amos.
"Alright then. I'll invite your father to dinner with me some other day."
"Not for now!" Fabian looked at the dejected Eudora, who was standing not far away.
"I think that we should wait until I win over Eudora's heart officially."
Tyler thought that it made sense. His daughter was very stubborn. It would not be good to do these things hastily.
"That's fine. I'll leave it to you young people then!"
The conversation between the two didn't attract Eudora's attention at all, because her mind was filled with Amos. He should be fine, right?
