Eudora was taken aback and felt that Harley's words were fishy.

However, her mind was occupied with the situation happening inside now. She didn't have the mood to think about it and spoke firmly.

"Mr. Louis, I am the general manager here. Now that something has happened in our hotel, I must go in and have a look. This is my right!"

Harley immediately rolled his eyes and turned to the police officer, ordering, "Let them in!"

After they went in, Harley called Amos on the phone.

"Don't blame me for not telling you, but that d*mned woman of yours appeared again! If it wasn't because we're good brothers, I would definitely not care if she lives or dies..."

Amos frowned and interrupted him directly.

"Where are you?"

"Holt's Hotel..."

When Eudora went in, she saw two negotiation experts negotiating with Shawn at a glance.

Shawn was asking for an exorbitant price. Not only did he want his group's assets returned to him, but he also wanted the head of the Holt Group to kneel down and apologize to him.

Leslie was infuriated, "How does he know who bought over his business? Why does he blame it on us? He even wants Miss Granger to kneel down and apologize to him? He doesn't even have any proof." Samuel frowned and spoke to the negotiation experts.

"I am the person in charge of this place. Let me talk to him!"

The negotiation experts were already at wits' end and nodded, "You must be careful. Don't provoke him!"

If he was provoked and did something wrong, they would be in big trouble!

"I'll go with him!" Eudora suddenly said.

The expert was taken aback and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the general manager here! I'm also the head of the Holt Group, the one that he wants to kneel down and apologize to him."

The expert paused for a moment, then reexamined Eudora. He didn't think that such a small girl would have such courage and charisma!

"Then, you must be careful!"

Samuel's expression was unaltered as he said, "Miss, this is an important matter, it's not a joke! If something happens, not only will you be hurt, but the Holt family will be affected too!"

Eudora snorted, "I know this better than you do!"

Samuel smirked when she snorted at him. Back in the Holt Manor, she was all smiles, but now, was she exposing her true self?

Just as he was thinking about it, Eudora had already walked forward. Samuel hurriedly caught up and said, "Mr. Carter, right? Didn't you say that you wanted a negotiation? We are here now. Could you please come out? Let's have a good talk, shall we?"

There was a moment of silence. After a long while, they saw Shawn poking his head out from behind the hotel lobby's reception counter.

"Who are you?"

Samuel hurriedly replied, "I'm the person in charge of this hotel!"

The next second, they heard a blood-curdling scream coming from inside the room. Samuel raised the blood-stained tip of his knife and pointed it at them.

"Tell your boss to come! You' re just the person in charge! It's not like you can make important decisions!"

Samuel gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Eudora had already stopped him from continuing, "Stop!"

"But..." Samuel gaped.

"I said stop!" Eudora glared at the blood dripping from the tip of the knife. It was evident that a hostage screamed just now. If something happened to the hostage, the consequences would be unimaginable. She spoke after taking a deep breath.

"I'm here! Didn't you say you wanted to speak to the head? I'm the one."

Upon hearing this, Shawn once again poked his head out and asked, "You?"

"Yes, it's me!" Eudora replied, "I'm Tyler Holt's daughter. After my father passed away, he left all of the Holt family's assets to me for the time being. If you don't believe me, you can watch the news. There are reports about me all over the news!"

The Holt family had created such a colossal commotion yesterday. Needless to say, everyone had seen it.

Shawn finally believed her and he grew even more excited.

"Yes, it's you! It's you! Give my assets back to me!"

Eudora didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't say that she was completely oblivious to what had happened. Otherwise, Shawn's mood might be unexpectedly triggered again. The most important thing right now was to calm him down.

The negotiation experts behind her whispered, "It's best to save the hostage first." Eudora took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Carter, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't know that you cared so much about your property, so I apologize to you. How about this, Mr. Carter? Let's sit down and have a good chat, shall we?"

Shawn had been a nuisance for several hours. Everyone was saying that he was being unreasonable.

Finally, someone was admitting their mistakes. All of Shawn's attention was on Eudora and he glared at her with hatred. He spat, "It was you. You! I was only absent for the funeral. Why did you have to take such extreme measures?"

Eudora deliberately followed his words and continued.

"Yes, it was me, I did it on purpose! My father passed away, and he did so many good things when he was alive. He should have been respected. Why didn't you go? I had to teach you a lesson for not attending his funeral!"

Eudora walked forward as she spoke.

Shawn was so exasperated that he didn't notice her walking over towards him.

After Harley made the call, he entered the hall and immediately saw what was unfolding. He felt a chill run down his spine and asked the police officer beside him subconsciously.

"What's going on? We have negotiation experts here, don't we?"

The police officer shook his head and admitted, "I just came in as well. What's wrong, Officer Louis? You seem concerned about that person. Is she your friend?"

Harley was dumbfounded and quickly turned his head away with a disgusted look.

"What friend? That sort of person doesn't deserve to be my friend!"

The police officer smiled thoughtfully and replied, "Officer Louis, you look like you care about her a lot, don't you?"

Harley frowned and wanted to approach them. Shawn soon noticed that Eudora was already walking over. Terrified, he raised the knife in his hand and swung it towards the hostage's throat. The people who were escorting the hostages shrieked. Even Samuel glared at Eudora angrily.

Oh no! The Holt family's business was definitely done for!

Although he didn't like Leslie, he also played a big part in building the Holt family's business bit by bit from a young age!

The next second, there was another wave of exclamations from the crowd. Samuel was stunned and raised his head, only to replace that Eudora had grabbed the dagger with her own hand! Samuel was stupefied. He couldn't believe his eyes. How could such a powerless young lady be so bold? She was holding the tip of the blade with her bare hands.

Meanwhile, Eudora grabbed hold of the foreign visitor who was scared out of his wits and pushed him out of the room.

However, Shawn had already come back to his senses. He pulled back his dagger and placed it against Eudora's neck.

"If you move again, I will kill you!"

Harley held his breath, and Eudora glanced in Harley's direction. She smiled when she saw that the hostage had been brought out for treatment.

"I'm here to have a face-to-face negotiation with you. Anyone who doesn't have anything to do with you has already left. Let's talk now!"
