My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 653
After 'Tina' came out, she got on a taxi and took off right away. As for 'Eudora', she rested her head on the steering wheel for a while, as if she was in grief.
Seeing this, the two men behind her started discussing in a low voice.
"She seems sad, should we report it to Master?"
"Why should we? Why bother him with matters about a fight between sisters?"
"I guess..."
As they were talking, they saw the car in front of them had started to move, so they immediately followed after it.
On the other hand, 'Tina' waited for the taxi to turn into the highway before taking off her hat, revealing Eudora's face underneath.
She glanced at the address on the business card and gave the driver the address. The taxi headed for the outskirts of the city.
Soon, the taxi arrived at a deserted housing area. Eudora wondered to herself if anyone even lived here.
The taxi driver also looked spooked and asked, "Miss, are you looking for someone here? I heard that this neighbourhood was bought by the Nolan Group a few years ago and they were planning to build a nursing home here. But for some reasons, the project never took off. This place is practically a ghost town now!"
"Thank you, I'm indeed here to look for something."
Seeing that she was determined to go in, the taxi driver didn't try to persuade her any further, but instead told her, "Then be quick. I won't have any passengers going back from here, I'll wait for you here!" Eudora nodded and quickly went up the rundown stairs.
After she found the room with the unit number, Eudora stood at the door and stared at it for a while. Before entering the building earlier, she was a little worried that Vivian was just playing tricks on her. However, now that she was there, she felt a little relieved.
The unit looked no difference from the other units, they looked like they were vacant for a long time.
However, there was no dust on the doorknob.
It was obvious that someone had been staying here for the past few days. At the thought of this, Eudora reached out and knocked on the door.
Yet, no one answered the door.
It seemed that the owner had already left.
She could not help but feel a little disappointed. The driver downstairs called out again, "Miss, are you done yet?" Hearing this, Eudora sighed and turned to leave.
However, she accidentally knocked down a shoe rack beside the door. Eudora was stunned. She reached down to arrange the shoe rack inadvertently, but a key suddenly fell out from an old, worn out shoe. The key was not rusty, and in Eudora's mind, she somehow knew that this was the key she was looking for.
The driver shouted again. When Eudora didn't come back down, he drove away quickly. Eudora decided to ignore the taxi. She took a deep breath, got up, and opened the door with the key.
From the exterior, she had guessed that someone had been here in the past few days. At that moment when she was inside, she was certain that there was indeed someone living here.
It was different from the dilapidated exterior. Even though it was still an old building, the interior had been kept exceptionally clean.
There was a table covered with a tablecloth with floral patterns. On the table was a vase with flowers inside. It wasn't some expensive flower, but wild flowers from the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, the flowers created a pleasant ambience.
As she walked further inside, she found that there was a small kitchen, a bathroom, and two clean bedrooms.
Finally, Eudora's eyes fell on a family photo in the small bedroom. There were four people in the picture, a man, a woman, a little girl, and a baby boy.
Everyone wore smiles on their faces and looked very happy.
Eudora recognized that little girl. It was Vivian.
She suddenly remembered that Tyler had said that they hadn't taken a proper family photo together before, and she felt sad.
She picked up the photo. A piece of paper fell out from underneath the photo.
"You're here? The item is in the wall behind the cabinet!"
Eudora felt chills down her spine. How could Vivian have predicted that? It was as if a pair of eyes had been watching her the entire time.
Eudora tried to calm herself down. Then she put away the note carefully and went to the closet.
There was only one closet in the room. There were a lot of clothes hanging inside the closet. It took Eudora quite some effort to move the closet away.
She saw a loose brick on the wall. After taking the brick out, she saw a small bag in the wall.
Eudora didn't have time to look at the contents of the bag but she restored the scene quickly. Since Vivian had gone through the trouble to keep this hidden, then it meant that the contents must be very important.
Besides, she was being stalked earlier. It would be dangerous for her to stay on further.
After restoring everything, Eudora checked around again to make sure that there was nothing amiss. Then, she opened the door and threw the keys back into the old shoe.
Eudora finally gathered enough courage to look back at the neighbourhood when she got downstairs. This neighbourhood must have once been full of joy and laughter. Otherwise, Vivian would not have missed this place after such a long time.
No one had ever expected that everything would be destroyed because of a development project that couldn't be carried out.
The taxi had left, and there were no cars nearby. Eudora had no choice but to walk slowly in the direction from which she came.
When she arrived at a relatively safe place, Eudora opened the bag slowly. There were some documents inside.
The documents were incomplete but after flipping around, Eudora realized that they basically had something to do with the Nolan family.
Eudora recalled what Amos had said before on how the Nolan family was being investigated. She quickly read through the information again.
There was incriminating information on the Nolan family's underground bank, as well as some unknown income sources, but everything was scattered. If Vivian had recorded all these, then she must have gotten them from Callum.
Callum was Fabian's confidant, so the information was credible.
Eudora broke out in cold sweat. She was going to marry Fabian. She had initially thought that it was for the good of the Holt family, but now it seemed that if they did get married, she would've doomed the Holt family instead.
She continued to dig around, and found a recording pen at the bottom. Eudora took out the recording pen and played it while no one else was around.
In the beginning, there was a long silence. Vivian must have developed the habit of recording. Even if no one was talking, she was still recording.
Just when Eudora was about to lose her patience, there was the sound of the door opening. Then, it was Callum's familiar voice. "I'm back. You didn't even bother to call me? It seems that you've been getting quite arrogant."
Vivian remained silent, and there were slight rustles. Then Callum spoke again.
"Enough, stop giving me an attitude. I'm not in a good mood today. Don't anger me, otherwise I'd hurt you again!"
Vivian finally spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Callum's voice grew a little softer. "Can't you be more obedient? Recently, the company has been controlled by the younger generation, and the police keep looking for troubles with us. Mr. Nolan wanted to collaborate with the Holt family, but he didn't expect that old man Tyler Holt to turn us down! D*mn, he didn't even want to help us at such a crucial moment. That ungrateful old man! I'll kill him someday!"
Eudora held her breath. Could it be that he was referring to the time when Fabian came to look for Tyler before Tyler passed away?
