"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw someone who looked like him! I could be mistaken?"

She didn't know why she needed to test Fabian. Somewhere deep in her heart, she somewhat trusted Vivian's words!

Vivian mentioned before that she had lost her freedom because of a man. Was she referring to Callum?

Fabian interrupted her thoughts.

"You've indeed seen him! He has been released!"

Eudora paused, surprised that Fabian did not have any intentions to hide it from her.

"W-why?"

"Because Callum didn't do anything wrong! Charlie was released, so naturally, Callum can be bailed too! He wanted to meet you just now, but I reckoned that you weren't in a good mood to meet so many people at once. So, I sent him off!"

"Oh!" Eudora nodded. "That explains."

As she spoke, she took a secret glance at Fabian. Although she felt that he was being honest, but Vivian...

In the midst of her thoughts, Fabian placed another rib on her plate.

"I know that you would still blame me a little deep down, as Callum is let out before Uncle Holt's case is settled. But don't you worry, I know what to do. I will never forget what the Granger family did! You will be my wife in the future, we will go through everything together!"

Eudora smiled and didn't say anything.

Noticing that she wasn't saying anything, Fabian asked, "Are you getting nervous? The wedding is tomorrow, and I heard that many women tend to be nervous before the wedding..."

Eudora nodded to cover up the fact that she was testing him just now. "Yes, I'm slightly nervous..."

It was the first time that she showed her soft side. Fabian felt his heart soften, and he reached out to hold Eudora's fingers.

"Don't be afraid. I'll treat you well. You'll live a good life in the future!"

"Okay!" she replied.

When she got home, she felt slightly tired. She threw her bag onto the bed and lay down on the floor barefooted. Vivian's words kept lingering in her mind.

"Ants are the same as humans. Since there will be no future, why give it hope?"

Was Vivian trying to tell her something?

The phone in her bag rang. While Eudora was digging for her phone, a business card accidentally fell out.

Vivian's name was written on the card, along with an address.

Eudora's finger brushed against the address, and suddenly she had a strong urge. Perhaps, she should go and ask Vivian for an explanation.

The moment this idea surfaced, Eudora couldn't help but feel her heart throbbing.

Eudora switched off her phone and left with the name card.

The butler asked hastily when he saw her rushing out, "Miss, you just came home. Where are you going this time?"

"I..." Eudora stuttered and hesitated for a moment. "I'm going out for a walk."

"Then you come home earlier. You'd worked too hard recently!"

"Alright!" Eudora nodded.

When she drove out, Eudora took another look at the address on the business card. It was a remote place, and it didn't look like a place where people would live. Eudora frowned. She felt the need to go and take a look.

A white light flashed in front of her eyes, and Eudora felt a chill in her heart. She put away the business card hurriedly and followed the source of the light. She caught a glimpse of something that resembled a mirror.

Was someone spying on her?

However, she couldn't make out who they were. For the sake of her safety, Eudora decided to turn around and drive towards another direction.

Along the way, Eudora observed the situation from the rearview mirror silently. She was then vigilant of her surroundings. As expected, there was an inconspicuous car behind her, catching up to her quickly. The car followed her skillfully. It did not approach and followed her unhurriedly, keeping a distance. If she weren't careful, she wouldn't have detected their presence.

The wedding ceremony was the next day. Therefore, it would be her last chance right then.

Just as Eudora was hesitating about how to get rid of the cars behind her, her phone rang. When Tina's call was connected, she expressed excitedly, "Eudora, do you know where I am?" Judging from the way she asked.

Eudora understood immediately.

"The airport?"

"How did you know? How boring! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I did not come back when dad passed away. Things were pretty tense at that time. Now that situation has improved, I should come back to attend your wedding. Although I can't come back with Christopher, I'm still very happy. I hope you will be happy this time..."

Eudora listened while focusing on the car behind her.

"I'll pick you up from where you are."

"There's no need for that," Tina smiled. "I'll take a cab myself"

"Give me your location!" Eudora sounded rushed. Tina could tell that something wasn't right. After all, she grew up with Tyler, so she was naturally good at observing people's behavior and speech.

"I am at the entrance, the third one."

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, Eudora stepped on the accelerator and headed for the highway towards the airport.

A moment later, Eudora saw Tina standing at the third entrance waving at her with a grin. "Eudora"

Eudora glanced at the rearview mirror and opened the door quickly. She then grabbed Tina's arm.

"Come with me to the washroom."

"Oh!" Tina didn't question her. "Then my luggage..."

"Put it in my car."

The people who had been following Eudora stopped in their tracks when they saw Eudora and Tina entering the washroom.

After entering the washroom, Eudora inspected the surroundings immediately. When she was sure that there was no one else, she pulled on Tina's clothes.

Tina shielded her chest anxiously. "Eudora, what are you doing?"

"There's someone tailing me outside. Let's exchange clothes, hurry!"

Tina was startled. No wonder Eudora was acting strange earlier and needed to pick her up suddenly.

"Who is it?"

"I don't know either. Listen to me now. I have something important that I need to confirm immediately. So, you have to cooperate with me. Do you understand?"

At the same time, outside the washroom, the two men whispered at each other after waiting for some time.

"Why are they taking so long? Did something happen?"

"Don't think too much. What could happen in the washroom? Women are always very slow!"

"D*mn, are you dissing me because I don't understand women? I know that you have a girlfriend, don't show off. I just didn't replace someone I like yet..."

As they were chatting, a loud crash suddenly broke out from inside.

There was a loud bang, like the sound of someone slamming the door. Then followed by the sound of a fierce quarrel and a slap.

"I'm kind enough to come back to attend your wedding. What's with your attitude?"

"What's wrong with my attitude? I know that you're now the young madam of the Gellert family, so you're looking down on the Holt family, aren't you? You didn't even come back on father's funeral, so how is this reasonable?"

"Didn't you know I couldn't come back that time? Do you think I didn't want to come back? Are you blaming me now? I understand. Fine, I'll leave now."

After that, the two men saw Tina running out crying and covering her face with her hands. Both men exchanged confused glances and were about to look for Eudora. Then, they saw Eudora coming out too with her hands covering her face.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and chose to catch up with Eudora.
