Harley was very angry after leaving Amos' room.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. Why was Amos looking at him with those eyes?

The phone rang, and Thea's gentle voice came from the other end.

"Harley? Have you got off work?"

The fire in Harley's heart instantly dissipated, as if it had been blown away by a spring breeze.

"What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

Thea laughed and said, "You're so naughty. You're already a father."

"So what? If I'm too serious, how will he be getting his younger brothers and sisters in the future then?"

Thea fell speechless.

It seemed that the more he talked, the more outrageous he became. Thea huffed. "Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!" After a few seconds of silence, Harley then asked, "Why aren't you hanging up if you didn't want to talk to me?"

Thea fell speechless yet again.

Human relationships really were odd. Eudora was Amos' kryptonite, and Harley was hers.

Sighing, Thea took a gentle look at the sleeping child next to her and said in a low voice.

"Fine, I've missed you, okay? Hurry up and visit me and the baby!"

"I've missed you too!" Harley laughed and pushed the door of the ward open.

Thea looked at him speechlessly.

"When did you arrive?"

"I've been here a long time!" Harley replied and handed the things he brought over to Thea. "I've brought your favorites!" Then, Harley immediately went to see the sleeping child.

Truth be told, he was feeling slightly uneasy right after the baby was born, but now, he was completely charmed by the little kid. The baby was just a few days old, but he didn't look as ugly as those other children.

This child was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes. They were extremely beautiful.

Especially his eyes, Harley too felt as if he was of his own blood.

This was probably destiny, wasn't it?

However, when he thought of destiny, he immediately thought of Eudora and Amos, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Thea noticed his depressed look and couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter? Is your work getting tougher?"

Harley shook his head. "No!" He didn't dare to tell her that Eudora was missing. She would definitely be upset.

"What's wrong, then? Can't you tell me what is making you so sad? Maybe you will feel better after letting it out!"

Thea may seem loud and ignorant on the surface, but only Harley knew her true character. In fact, she was a very sensitive girl.

This was a common characteristic in children from single-parent families.

Harley didn't want her to overthink, so he gave her a brief overview of the situation.

"Amos and I had a bit of an argument because of Eudora. I just feel that Amos had been acting strangely about this. Wasn't he the one who knew Eudora the best in the past? Why couldn't he see the truth this time?"

Thea laughed. "Is that it? I thought something big had happened! The way I see it, I think you may have been overthinking things. President Granger knows Eudora the best. It's impossible that you could see what he could not. If he doesn't think that anything was off, then there must be some other hidden factors that he's just not telling you about!"

Harley paused as he seemed to have come to a realization.

Thea's words did make sense.

He had fought with Amos countless times, and Amos had played along with him all the time. Was he doing the same at that moment?

That must be the case.

If that woman wasn't Eudora, then that could only mean that someone had deliberately planned this whole situation to get something from Amos. In that case, they would be able to replace out what was going on as long as they followed the clues secretly.

Who knows, he might be able to replace Fabian too!

However, Amos's performance this time was too convincing. Harley didn't know how to react to it.

Harley held Thea's cheek and kissed her repeatedly.

"Thea, you really are amazing. I'm really lucky to have you as my wife."

Thea was stunned by his kisses. She paused, and then she started hitting him on the chest.

"What are you doing? There's a child here!"

"It doesn't matter if he sees it. He should learn from an early age so that when he grows up, he would be able to replace such a good wife just like his father!" Thea fell speechless once again.

Meanwhile, in the abandoned residential area.

Fabian sat behind his desk and looked at the information in front of him. Having all the information about TEM Company and Valiant East drew a happy smile on his face. "Very good. It seems that my effort to save her was not in vain! Take this information and replace a way to pass it to the people outside and get them to do the job."

Callum nodded. "What should we do with Kesha then?"

Fabian smiled and replied, "She doesn't know about our secrets. It's fine. Let her go!"

If she really could seduce Amos, that would save him the trouble of killing him then.

Callum hummed in reply. "But it's a bit inappropriate for us to make a move on Valiant East and TEM Company now. The police have been hot on our tails. If we get caught now, then everything would have been for nothing!"

Fabian snorted. "You don't understand, do you? Do you really think that the police are capable enough to take us down? If someone hadn't messed things up this time, what could the police have done anyway? Most importantly, the Granger family is backing the police. Haven't you heard? Every prestigious family has a secret organization digging up dirt on them! If we manage to get rid of the Granger family, we wouldn't have to worry about anything else!"

Callum took a deep breath. "I understand, Mr. Nolan. I'll deal with it immediately."

"Wait a minute!" Fabian stopped Callum again.

"How is Eudora?" It seemed that he had lost the courage to speak to her ever since Eudora quarreled with him yesterday.

He must've looked sinister when he was choking her the other time. He felt slightly frustrated just thinking about it. Eudora must hate him even more now.

Callum smiled and replied, "Miss George is fine! The wound on her neck is getting better! Don't worry."

"Okay!" Fabian nodded and reminded, "Let's get these done as soon as possible!"

Fabian looked at his own fingers trembling once Callum left.

The memory of him as a child suddenly appeared in his mind. At that time, Malcom was not as kind as he was now. Back then, he was young and uncultured, and he was just another delinquent. He would fight and drink with others outside every day, and he would come home drunk.

If his wife were to annoy him when he was home, he would beat and kick her like crazy. There was once he held her neck with his hands, and she struggled hard to breathe.

Fabian was still young at that time, and he was very afraid. He stood there and did not dare to move. He remembered the way she looked at him at that time, her eyes filled with despair.

Fabian suddenly woke up from his memory and smashed his fist on the table in front of him.

How could he have done that to Eudora?
