"Miss Eudora!" Samuel frowned.

Samuel was relatively meticulous, so he naturally knew what Eudora was thinking. He knew that there wasn't much affection between Eudora and Fabian and that she had only agreed to the engagement because she had no other choice.

"Miss Eudora, you don't need to compromise! You are Mr. Holt's daughter. I swear that I will protect you even if I have to fight to the death..."

"There's no need to do that, Uncle Chilton. I won't be compromising on anything. I've thought it through!"

Leslie was a straight-laced guy with no tact, and he thought that Eudora was willing to do it from the bottom of her heart. Hence, he was extremely thrilled.

"Wonderful! Mr. Holt will definitely be delighted if he knew about this. I'll inform Mr. Nolan and ask him to make the necessary arrangements..."

However, after a few steps, Leslie ran back in a hurry.

"I haven't told the people outside yet! I'll tell them first so that we could all be happy for you together!"

Samuel stared at Leslie irritably and said, "Forget about it! Let's not talk about it anymore! Honestly, all the years you lived for are truly in vain!"

"Samuel, would it kill you to not quarrel with me for a day?"

"Hush, just shut up!"

They walked out quickly as they bickered with each other. Soon, cheers were heard from the outside. Everyone was ecstatic.

Eudora tried her best to smile. She should be happy as well, right?

Meanwhile, in Nolan's mansion.

Fabian was playing chess with Malcom. The latter had been in a bad mood ever since Tyler's death.

The weather was surprisingly good, so Fabian placed the chess set outside, and the father and son were having a conversation at that moment.

Malcom had won three rounds in a row and he was starting to feel annoyed. He knocked on the table and complained, "Are you my son or not? What kind of attitude is this? Back then, I've played chess with your Uncle Holt for so many years, but I've never lost!"

Malcom's spirited mood immediately became gloomy the moment he mentioned Tyler.

"Forget it, let's not play anymore! It's hard to replace a good opponent. I'll just get even more annoyed if we play any further!"

Fabian looked at Malcom helplessly. Just as he was thinking if he should comfort him, Bache brought over his phone.

"Mr. Nolan, you have a call."

Fabian answered the call. A moment later, he suddenly stood up in astonishment, "She agreed?"

Malcom glanced over suspiciously. Everyone, including the Nolan family's servants and his assistant, peered over at Fabian in shock.

Fabian had learned about the business world with Malcom since he was young. By the time he was in his teens, he was already planning the development of the Nolan family's business.

He had always been stoic and he had never lost his composure, but at that very moment, he was overjoyed. It was no wonder that others were surprised.

After Fabian hung up, Malcom asked, "What's the matter? What's the good news?"

"It isn't that big of a deal!" Fabian said. However, his expression couldn't fool the others at all, and his face was full of merriment.

"Since it's not a big deal, why are you so delighted? As the head of the Nolan family, you should be more composed. Why are you getting more and more agitated?"

Fabian replied, "Well, Eudora has agreed to marry me!"

Malcom did not react in time and he continued to lecture his son.

"I've been telling you since you were a child that in the business world, we can't let others see through our thoughts. Otherwise... Wait, what did you say just now?"

Malcom stood up in amazement.

"I said, Eudora agreed to marry me!"

"That's amazing!" Malcom bellowed in excitement. His voice sounded even more thrilled than Fabian's.

The servants beside them were quiet.

For the next half an hour, both father and son ended up discussing excitedly in the living room.

Malcom said passionately, "Eudora is a good girl, and I was on good terms with her father. I can't let her be wronged. Since she has promised to marry you, you may discuss the wedding with her later. Just check with her if she prefers to have a public wedding."

Fabian nodded and said, "Of course! I'll go in a minute."

"What's more, although it's the new generation now, the traditions of the older generation mustn't be neglected. Get people to prepare the wedding gifts. You also need to replace someone to send the gifts." Fabian didn't agree with him. "Dad, that's too cheesy!"

"What do you know? This is how we celebrate! The Nolans are finally getting a woman in the household. That's great. I'm going to send my prayers for your mother..."

Fabian said, "Dad! You're overreacting!"

A voice from beside reminded him weakly, "Mr. Nolan, you're the one overreacting! You're so excited that your voice got higher."

How could Fabian admit it? He retorted, "Do I look happy? It's just a marriage!"

However, the smile on the corner of his eyes couldn't vanish at all.

Bache was speechless. Well, as long as he was happy.

Eudora had no objections to Fabian's arrangements. She didn't feel the joy of getting married at all. She was still busy working in the office every day, especially since Amos had taken Juju away. There was no need for her to go back to the mansion that was filled with emptiness.

However, when Fabian asked whether she wanted to publicize the marriage or hold it privately, Eudora chose to publicize the wedding.

That was the effect she wanted when she decided to marry Fabian.

Within half a day, news of the marriage between the Nolan family and the George family spread throughout Greene City. Marriages between reputable families were always the talk of the town. Naturally, the media put in a lot of effort to exaggerate their relationship. It was to the point where people were envious of their relationship.

In Valiant East, Amos reminded Clint as soon as he came to work in the morning.

"Pay attention to the Holt family today. If there is a lawyer's letter, give it to me as soon as possible."

He thought that Eudora would sue him, but he didn't expect that it would quiet even after waiting for a whole day.

After the last meeting of the day, Amos's first question to Clint was, "How's the Holt family doing? Have you received a lawyer's letter?"

Clint shook his head, "No, but..."

"But what?"

Clint could not possibly hide that sort of matter. Amos would usually pay plenty of attention to the Holt family, and he could check it on the Internet with just a click. Hence, Clint said bluntly. "I've received news that Miss George and Fabian are getting married. The wedding date has been fixed. It will be held half a month later!"

Amos stopped in his tracks. Clint felt as though the light in his eyes dissipated.

Clint held him in a panic, "President Granger, are you alright?"

Amos shook his head and said, "It's okay. Pay attention to this matter. Don't let Charlie know about it. Otherwise, the psychological burden that he might have will not help with his treatment." Clint was quiet.

"Why are you still thinking about Charlie at such a moment? Don't you feel..." Upset?

Clint didn't say the last word because Amos had already walked far away.
