Complicated?

Amos smiled bitterly.

Why wouldn't he want to make peace with her? However, before the incident of Charlie's investigation was clear, he couldn't act rashly. It wouldn't be good if he alerted the enemy.

Moreover, she probably didn't want to see him either, right?

Amos frowned and asked again, "How is she?"

"She's fine!" Doctor Leon replied helplessly, "It was just a scratch, and I've already helped to bandage her hand. She just needs to be careful these days to make sure she doesn't touch the wound carelessly!" Amos nodded and immediately said, "In that case, you'll be in charge of changing her dressing tomorrow."

Doctor Leon was confused.

He was perplexed. Didn't Amos hear him? It was just a scratch! Did he really need a professional doctor like him to change her dressing?

However, Amos, this brat, was a nuisance.

Fine! He'd just have to go! After all, he had something to ask Eudora anyways.

Harley quickly arrested Shawn. As soon as he came out, he saw Amos and Doctor Leon standing outside.

"Doctor Leon, you're just in time. I'm afraid that the doctor we just called is not as qualified as you. Sorry to bother you. I'll call someone to bring you in."

Doctor Leon was speechless. This time, he was indeed called on to check on the visitors.

After Doctor Leon was taken away, Harley sighed and said, "Did you see Eudora as she left just now? Your wife is pretty impressive!"

Hearing this, Amos narrowed his eyes at Harley.

"Do you know who caught Shawn? It was her! When we went in, she had Shawn pinned down on the ground. I don't think any of the female elites among us are as good as her in terms of close combat!" The frown between Amos' eyebrows was clearly visible. He frowned, "There are so many of you here. Were you all standing by doing nothing while letting a woman fight?"

Harley was baffled.

"Hey! Amos, you're going too far! Do you think I refused to do my job? Shawn had taken a hostage, and he insisted on talking to Eudora instead of us! He wanted her to return his family's assets to him!" Speaking about the property, Harley couldn't help rolling his eyes at Amos, "Wasn't it you who did it?"

Amos fell quiet.

After Harley was done venting, Amos didn't say a word. He thought that he said something hurtful and fell quiet too.

"Hey, I didn't mean it like that! I know that you did it for Eudora. In fact, the Carter family doesn't have many good businesses under them. Even if you didn't take action this time, the higher-ups have already noticed them."

Amos suddenly asked again, "What's going to happen to him again?"

Harley was speechless.

And here he thought that Amos was feeling upset judging by the solemn look on his face! Amos was probably just thinking of ways to topple Shawn Carter's business entirely!

"You don't need to do anything. The Carter family's chain of restaurants were already under investigation by the relevant departments for smuggling beef more than a month ago. Once again, Shawn hurt a well-known person this time. I am afraid that he will have to stay in jail for about eight to ten years!"

Amos nodded. He turned around and waved his hand proudly, "Thank you for your hard work! I'll be leaving first!"

Harley was shocked.

This man was really inhumane!

When Eudora returned, Juju had already woken up. When she saw Eudora's wound, she became worried.

Juju ran straight back to her room and took out her small gun. She handed it to Eudora and said, "Mommy, this is for you. It's for selfdefense!"

Eudora didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There's no need forthat. Mommy is fine."

Juju frowned as she thought for a while. Then, she said, "Then I will follow you and protect you?"

Then, she held Eudora's bandaged hand carefully and blew on it twice.

"Mommy, it doesn't hurt too much now, right?"

"Yes!" Eudora nodded. Juju's eyes lit up as she asked, "Then Mommy, have you taken your medicine? I will go and pour some water for you!" Eudora had almost forgotten to take her medicine, so she nodded.

With that, Juju served her some water and fed her the medicine. She sat by her side for a while and patted Eudora and the back.

"Mommy, do you feel much better now?"

Eudora felt her heart warm up and she laughed, "I'm really feeling much better now!"

As the two of them were talking, Hodge brought Fabian in from outside. Fabian stood in front of Eudora and said, "I heard that you were injured, so I quickly came over to take a look. How did you end up like this?"

Eudora remembered what Malcom had done for Tyler when he died that day, so she was polite to Fabian.

"I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound."

Fabian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Both of them remained silent for a moment before Fabian asked, "By the way, did anyone from the police station contact you? What did they say about Mr. Holt?"

Eudora shook her head, "Not yet."

"How could they!" Fabian pounded the table and stood up furiously, "Obviously, they are hiding something! You can be rest assured that I will help you deal with this matter." "No, thank you! I believe they will give me an answer soon!"

It wasn't that Eudora wasn't angry. After all, she saw that Charlie was the one who shot her father with her own eyes. However, even if she was boiling up, she had to maintain a clear mind at all times. Charlie and Amos had no reason to lay their hands on her father. Even if she wanted to believe that they were trying to sabotage the Holt family, she had to see the evidence to believe it. Fabian saw that she was indifferent towards his words and his expression became gloomy. After some time, he said, "You should get some rest. I'll go back first and come see you tomorrow!" Seeing this, Leslie said in a hurry, "Mr. Nolan, I'll see you off!"

Eudora then stood up and watched as Fabian left.

After they left and disappeared from sight, Eudora remembered what she needed from Leslie and told Juju hurriedly, "Wait for me here. I need to talk to Mr. Clarke about a few things. Then, I'll come back to take a nap with you."

Juju sat on the sofa obediently, "Okay!"

After Eudora went out to chase after them, she saw Fabian and Leslie chatting at the corner of the garden. Just as she was about to go over, she saw Leslie taking out a card and handing it over to Fabian. "Mr. Nolan, this was what Mr. Holt asked me to give you before he passed away. Actually, you're mistaken. It's not that Mr. Holt didn't want to help you, it was just because he didn't want to gamble the Holt family's fortune for the sake of Miss Granger and the Young Miss. However, he requested me to sell all the properties in his hands. There are at least thirty million dollars in this card. Use it for now, and just treat it as thanks to the Nolan family on behalf of what you've done during Mr. Holt's funeral."

Fabian was taken aback, "Thirty million dollars?"

"Alright!" Leslie nodded.

Fabian was dumbfounded. He rejected Tyler's card that day because he heard from Tyler that there was not much in the card. He thought it would only be around a few hundred thousand and felt that it was a humiliation.

But now, he felt a little ashamed after listening to Leslie's explanation.

Leslie noticed that he was quiet and immediately stuffed the card into Fabian's hands, saying, "Mr. Nolan, your business matters are urgent. Please take it so you can settle the matters right away!"

Fabian's heart was filled with mixed emotions as he asked quietly.

"Does Eudora know about this?"
