My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 638
David had indeed neglected a few things when he took on the project. Doing real estate in Greene City was, in fact, just something that came out at the spur of the moment. After that, he was happy to have some free time ever since the Holt Family took over the business.
Following Amos' advice, he realized that the position their company was in at that moment was quite dangerous. If the Holt Family were truly given a chance to revamp it, then it would be a huge trap in the future.
David frowned, "D*mn it. When I replace out those who are trying to frame me, I definitely wouldn't let them off!"
Clint, who was standing by the side, stretched his head out to peer at the contract, "Isn't this beside the Nolan Family's project?"
David was taken back.
"Is it the Nolan Family?"
If something were to happen to the project, then the Nolan Family would be the only one that could monopolize such a huge project. In the future, it would be the Nolan Family that would benefit the most. David snorted, "You don't have to worry about it. I'll deal with it."
"Not anymore!" Amos said in a low voice, "I'll take over this matter personally."
David was about to say something, but Clint had already held onto his arm, "David, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to tour around Greene City? Why don't you take this opportunity to do so?" Clint knew Amos best. As long as it was anything related to Eudora, he would not allow anyone else to work on it, at least not without worry. The matter would only be foolproof if he had handled it himself. David caught Clint's hint and did not insist anymore.
Leslie and the others looked at her expectantly when Eudora came out of the hotel. "Miss Eudora, how did it go?"
Eudora shook her head, "I'm sorry, I might have failed!"
Leslie was stunned. Samuel, who was next to him, immediately gave Leslie a disapproving look and tried to change the situation.
"It's okay. TEM Company is a big company, so their demands might be a little difficult to fulfill. Let's go back and discuss it again."
"I suppose that's the only way!" Eudora nodded, even though she knew that there wasn't much that could be changed.
However, that project was significant to Holt Family's transformation. She didn't want to demotivate the staff.
Eudora and the others worked on the case together once they returned to the office. Leslie couldn't help whispering when he noticed the location stated on the contract.
"Miss Eudora, isn't this quite close to one of the Nolan Family's projects? Why don't we ask Mr. Nolan for help?"
Eudora was stunned, "What?"
"The Nolan Family has more construction opportunities than us when it comes to real estate, and the Nolan Family has always occupied a significant position in Greene City's market. Even the scale of TEM Company's project this time pales in comparison to the Nolan Family's. Rather than putting our money on TEM Company, it would be better to talk to the Nolan Family, and maybe they will help us for the sake of the Holt Family's reputation. Otherwise, there won't be any good from TEM Company too if things were to mess up."
Eudora frowned, "Are you sure that the Nolan Family's project is around this area?"
"Yes!" Leslie nodded, "When Mr. Holt was still alive, he had a good relationship with Mr. Nolan's father. I was there when they discussed this matter, so I'm sure of it!"
What a coincidence!
Eudora sensed that something was off, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong despite thinking about it carefully.
"Miss Eudora, I'll get in touch with Mr. Nolan right away."
"Forget it! Don't bother!" Between getting disappointed at Amos, Eudora would rather not be involved too much with Fabian if she had to choose.
She was already an adult, and she knew very well how Fabian felt about her. She didn't plan to respond to his feelings. Therefore, it would be best not to ask him for help unless she had no other choice, "There's still some space for us to work on it. Let's wait and see."
Leslie was about to say something but Samuel spoke first.
"Alright, Leslie. Miss Eudora said there is another way, so let's wait. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Leslie was taken aback.
He looked at Samuel incredulously. Wasn't he the one who disliked Miss in the beginning? How dare he try to teach him a lesson?
"Samuel, weren't you..."
"Hm? I've always been like this, haven't I? I'm not like some people who are easily swayed."
Leslie was astonished.
Could he be any more shameless?
Eudora watched the two of them arguing and couldn't help recall how Tyler and Malcom used to bicker at each other.
A trace of sadness flashed across her heart. Eudora excused herself and left the room.
Leslie couldn't help muttering after Eudora left, "It's all my fault, you bad old man. If it weren't for you, why would Miss Eudora be sad?"
Samuel frowned, "How could you blame me? You were the one who brought up about the past! Don't you know how Mr. Nolan felt about Miss Eudora? It's obvious that Miss Eudora hasn't moved on yet!" Leslie was displeased, "I don't believe that Miss Eudora would forgive the murderer who killed Mr. Holt."
Samuel glared at him and thought that he was too naive. He stood up and left.
Leslie sighed after Samuel left. Although Samuel was mean, what he said was also right.
Perhaps Miss Eudora still had some expectations of Amos. Or perhaps, she did not believe that Amos was the one who had caused Mr. Holt's death.
How could that be? She was there to witness when everything unfolded. He was the spectator. It was clear that someone from the Granger Family killed Mr. Holt! He could not let Miss Eudora go astray again. Leslie took out his phone to call Fabian's number.
When Mr. Holt was still alive, he would always think of a way to bring Mr. Nolan and Miss Eudora together. Now that Mr. Holt was gone, Leslie thought that it was only right for him to take over that task! Meanwhile, Fabian was leaning on the sofa with his phone in hand. It was not until the phone rang that he smirked and calmly picked up the phone.
"It's me, Uncle Clarke."
Leslie spilled everything that happened to the Holt Family's project to Fabian in a heartbeat. When he was done, he finally added.
"Miss Eudora had personally gone for the negotiation, but it seems that her efforts were in vain. Too many things had happened to the Holy Family for the past few days, and it seemed to have caused her to feel a little powerless. When Mr. Holt was still alive, he always said that you'd definitely help Miss Eudora! So..."
"Uncle Clarke, you are too polite!" Fabian smiled and said, "Eudora is my fiancee, I will definitely help her!"
Eudora and Fabian were once slated for an arranged marriage before, but the plan fell through because Eudora disagreed with it. Leslie didn't expect that Fabian would mention that during such times. His tone was firm too, so his impression of Fabian soared. "I thank you on behalf of the Holt Family!"
Fabian got up and tidied his clothes after hanging up the phone. Bache approached him hurriedly and handed him his coat. "Mr. Nolan, everything is going according to plan."
Fabian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go. We'll be meeting Amos Granger of Valiant East!"
