My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 639
Amos looked into the Nolan family's project once he got back. He concluded that the Nolan family's project wasn't just a coincidence. Perhaps Fabian had started planning for it a long time ago when David was still in the midst of taking over the project.
Amos frowned. Clint knocked on the door and entered the office.
"President Granger, Mr. Nolan would like to make an appointment with you."
Speak of the devil.
"When?"
"Now, actually," Clint replied, "He is currently downstairs with his assistant!"
"They've already come knocking on our door, so what appointment are you talking about?" Amos closed the file in his hand. "Bring them in!"
Fabian entered the office with his assistant shortly after and stood before Amos. The two of them did not say anything, and their gazes met for a few seconds.
Amos was first to speak, "Mr. Nolan, may I
know what's your purpose of coming here today?"
Fabian smiled. "President Granger, your question is incorrect. Perhaps, you should have asked for whom have I come here for."
Amos frowned. Fabian answered his own question, "It seems that you know the answer very well! I came here because of the project! President Granger, since your personal company, TEM Company, has affected my fiancee's project, I had to come here in person to rectify the issue. Fortunately, some of my company's traitors wanted to work with TEM Company, and that was how I knew that you owned this company, President Granger. You're truly a man full of surprises!"
It seemed that Amos had guessed it correctly.
However... did Fabian just said that Eudora had asked him to come over?
Amos frowned slightly. Was that heartless woman that distrustful of him?
"This is between TEM Company and the Holt family, so it's none of your business, Mr. Nolan." Amos said stiffly.
Fabian smirked, "None of my business? Eudora has always been my fiancee. Uncle Holt entrusted her to me before he died. Moreover, the Holt family and the Nolan family have always been on good terms..." The more Fabian spoke, the darker Amos' expression became. "Even so, it's not up to you to interfere in the Holt family's affairs. Naturally, I'll get my men to contact them. Clint, please send the guests off!" Fabian smiled triumphantly. "I'm afraid that you don't get to call the shots, Mr. Granger!"
Amos was taken aback when he saw Clint rushing into the office. "President Granger, there's trouble!"
"What's the matter?"
Fabian looked enthusiastic as he said, "Let me tell you all about it. That project of yours was a mistake from the very start. It's a pity that you're too busy, President Granger, and your partner is too proud to notice the loophole. I've already invested in the relevant departments just before I came here. You must stop your project immediately. We'll then see who shall be responsible for it! Will TEM Company push the responsibility to the Holt family, or will they account for it themselves? If you push it to the Holt family, they would naturally need to pay for all the penalties, and their reputation will go down the drain. Then, their real estate would be done for! However, it wouldn't be a big issue if you choose to bear all the consequences. Although... TEM's reputation that you had built up for all these years among the locals and clients overseas will plummet, resulting in a disaster..."
Clint gritted his teeth and glared at Fabian, "Despicable!"
Fabian paid him no mind and continued, "What do you think? It's up to you, President Granger!"
Amos ignored him and turned to look at Clint, "Investigate it!"
Clint left immediately. After a while, he came back and nodded. "It's true."
Amos took a deep breath and glared at Fabian, who was leaning on the chair, and said, "Are you taking revenge?"
"That's right!" Fabian laughed, "Didn't you steal my project using a bird protection area as an excuse last time? I'd like for you to taste that frustrating feeling too. How about it? Do you like this gift?" Amos sneered. "Is this your so-called love? You kept saying that Eudora is your fiancee. Is this how you treat your fiancee? I'm sorry, but you don't love her at all. You only love yourself." Fabian's expression darkened, but soon, he smiled again.
"With you, President Granger, here, my fiancee will be fine, won't she? Or do you intend to protect your own assets instead? It is understandable. After all, my fiancee has already divorced you. I get it if you choose to protect yourself. Don't worry about it, choose whatever you want. I'll replace a way to protect my own fiancee. The Nolan family is powerful. I am perfectly capable to protect my woman. As long as Eudora and I get married, what's mine will be hers, and what's hers will be mine! Isn't that right, President Granger?"
Fabian then stood up, ready to leave.
"Hold on!" Amos gritted his teeth, "TEM Company will bear everything! Clint, get David to contact the Holt family..."
Clint looked at Amos in shock, "President Granger..."
"Shut your mouth! I've made up my mind."
Clint glared at Fabian angrily, turned around, and left to contact the Holt family.
Fabian grinned widely, "Mr. Granger, you are one lovesick man. I respect that!"
"F*ck off!" Amos gritted his teeth.
"Are you angry?" Fabian was still looking proud. "Actually, you could've avoided this loss. Do you know where you had gone wrong, President Granger? You lost because you valued your so-called love too much! Let's be real, love was always a tool for two people to get what they need from it. It's not that noble."
Amos had already turned his back against Fabian. "Send them off!"
Eudora was busy the whole day trying to brainstorm with the team, but they still failed to come up with a solution. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that someone had framed them. The person in charge of the project couldn't help but mutter, "Miss Eudora, back when Mr. Holt was alive, he always told us that business feuds are scary. Back then, we didn't care too much about it, but now, I finally understand. Considering the size of TEM Company, isn't it fishy that they wanted to work with us all of a sudden? I couldn't understand it at all. Could it be that there is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes? They're truly despicable. Do they really hate us that much? This time, them not wanting to bear the consequences only meant that they are throwing the responsibility to us. Unfortunately, the Holt family's real estate department hasn't been established for long, and we've been only been taking on small and safe projects with the help of the Nolan family so far. This is our first time working on a project without their help, and we're already doomed!"
Eudora closed her eyes. The restlessness in her heart that she had soothed before started to stir up in an instant. "Forget it. I know that you are all exhausted. Let's rest for a bit. Give me the documents, let me take a look..."
"No, Miss Eudora. You've been working very hard. I'll join you!"
At this moment, Leslie pulled the door open and entered the office.
"Good news, Miss Eudora. The issue of the project with TEM Company is settled!"
The person- in- charge jumped up in excitement, "Is that true, Mr. Clarke?"
"Of course! I just got the news. It's absolutely true! We are saved!"
Eudora heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she asked happily but anxiously at the same time, "What happened exactly?"
Leslie was about to speak, but the secretary entered and announced before he could speak, "Miss Eudora, TEM Company has just announced that they're going to exit Greene City's market!"
