Eudora lay on the bed, her heart unprecedentedly calm.

It was the third day since she was locked up in this place. Fabian kept appearing before her over the past two days, disrupting her rest every time. Now that he was not here, she could finally think with a clear mind.

She thought of the time when she was together with Amos, the rare reunion of the family of four.

Eudora's lips curled into a smile.

All of a sudden, a rush of footsteps could be heard coming from outside, and Callum walked quickly through the corridor.

Eudora pricked up her ears and listened for a second, but she couldn't hear anything else aside from the footsteps.

All of a sudden, there was a loud bang, and Eudora could sense that something was off. She climbed up from the bed hurriedly. Her limbs had been untied ever since Fabian tried to strangle her, hence, she was free to move around in her cell.

She quickly took two steps towards the door, but it was kicked open before she could get to it. Fabian's gloomy face came into view.

Eudora's entire body trembled. For a moment, she didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

Behind him, Callum said, "Mr. Nolan..."

"Think of a way to escape from this place!" Fabian commanded in a deep voice. "Contact the ships!"

Callum nodded, and Eudora fell into shock.

What was he saying? Did the police replace them? The tiny bit of frustration in her heart suddenly disappeared.

A trace of a smile appeared on Eudora's face. "Looks like you're about to be caught! Am I right?"

Fabian's face became even gloomier. "Eudora, do you want me to be caught?"

"Why not?" Eudora retorted. "You killed my father even though he was so kind to you. You even blamed it on others. Not only that, but the crisis in our company also happened because of you. And finally, you've locked me up here. Is this what you meant by 'treating me well"?"

Fabian parted his lips. "Eudora, things are not what you think they are. I've never thought of hurting you. Whatever that happened to Uncle Holt really was an accident. As for everything else, am absolutely certain that I wouldn't hurt you. That's why I did it!"

Eudora sneered. "You couldn't hurt me because Amos was there to help me out every time. If it weren't for him, do you think that everything you've done would be successful? Fabian, you really are disgusting!" Fabian's heart tightened, and he raised his hand subconsciously.

Eudora stood there and looked at him, unblinking. "Come on, hit me. It's not like it's the first time anyway. You even strangled me! I'm not afraid of you!"

His hand trembled slightly, but he couldn't do it in the end.

Taking a deep breath, Fabian lowered his voice and said, "Eudora, come with me! It was my fault in the past. I will definitely repent. In the future, I will work harder than Amos, and I will not allow you to be in danger anymore!" "I'm not going anywhere with you!" Eudora replied coldly. "Stop wasting your time with me!"

Fabian frowned. Taking advantage of Eudora's moment of distraction, he knocked the back of her neck once again and immediately reached out to catch her in his arms. Eudora limped into his embrace, completely passed out.

"It's all your fault, you made me fall for you. Don't you know that you are my only family now? I promised my mother that I would not let the woman I love to end up the way she did, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that. Since it has reached this point, I will never let you go!"

Meanwhile, in the Granger Family villa in Greene City.

Kesha sensed that Amos had become indifferent towards her ever since the incident at the company the day before.

However, when she really thought about it, he wasn't being that cold to her either. It just seemed that he didn't like to talk much and he always preferred to stay alone.

Kesha stood downstairs and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, frowning slightly.

Time passed day by day. She couldn't wait any longer.

Kesha made her way upstairs and changed into the new clothes that she had bought the day before. They were not very good-looking, but she bought them because they were the same ones that Eudora used to like.

Kesha looked at her reflection in the mirror once she was done changing, and she looked just like Eudora. Satisfied, she stroked her face.

Amos will no longer resist her this time, would he?

Kesha turned around and picked up the fruits. She pushed the door open and walked to Amos' bedroom.

"Amos, have some fruit!"

"Come in!" he replied.

Kesha pushed the door open and entered the room, placing the fruits on the table. "Have you been in a bad mood for the past few days? Why does it seem like you don't want to talk at all?" She had already walked to the front of Amos.

As soon as he looked up, Amos felt as though he had seen the past. Back then, he and Eudora were still living in Rosaville City, and their relationship was going well.

When he was not busy with work, he would always accompany her at home. Then, Eudora would put on some casual clothes and rest on his lap.

The two of them were busy with their own businesses. From time to time, there might be a little fight, but overall, the time they spent together was quiet and peaceful. "Eudora..." Amos whispered.

Kesha's lips curled up in satisfaction. She walked over and sat down on Amos' legs.

"Amos, it's been a long time since we've been intimate. I thought you didn't like me anymore!"

Amos remained silent. Kesha then reached out her hand and caressed his back.

"Do you still want me? Amos?"

She said in a very charming way, deliberately imitating Eudora's coquetry, which appeared very convincing. Kesha clearly saw Amos' eyes grow dark. Kesha took advantage of the situation and placed her hand on Amos' neck. She undid the buttons on his shirt one by one...

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Kesha was stunned, but her hands did not stop.

Amos ignored her and picked up the phone. He heard something from the other end of the line, and the corner of his lips curled up.

The next second, he pushed Kesha, who was unbuttoning his shirt, away. "Enough!"

Kesha was caught off guard and she fell onto the ground. Anger surged up in her heart, but she still plastered an innocent look on her face. "Amos, what's wrong..."

"Are you still pretending?" Amos laughed coldly. "Kesha!"

Kesha's heart sank. "Amos, I don't understand. Didn't Kesha die a long time ago? We all saw her fall off a cliff!"

Amos snorted. "Do you really think that I wouldn't notice someone impersonating Eudora? You do look like Eudora, and you do know a lot about her. But people's personalities will never change! You've never had the tough and kind personality that Eudora has. You will never be able to imitate that, ever!"

Kesha gritted her teeth. "When... when did you replace out?"

"Since the very beginning!" he replied.

Kesha was shocked. "Why did you ask me to enter your study to retrieve the materials then? Have you gone mad?"

Amos's lips curled up slightly. "If I hadn't asked you to send the materials to Fabian, how could I have followed the clues to his headquarters?"

"You... you are despicable!" Kesha roared.

Amos didn't want to talk to her anymore. He got up and left the room.

Kesha suddenly shouted, "Amos, do you really think I've gone through all sorts of hardships to come back to you because I actually like you?" Amos paused. The next second, with a hand in her knife, Kesha rushed towards him.
