Seeing that Eudora did not say anything, Leslie laughed out of extreme rage.

"Good! Very well, then. You indeed live up to being Tyler Holt's daughter. You have incredible guts! However, back then, Tyler, too, had had the same courage as you did. In the end, he still gave in. I'll wait. I'll wait for you to succumb and then come to me!"

Eudora pursed her lips, "I'm also waiting for you to give it up and disband the organization."

Leslie snorted, got in the car, and left.

By the time Amos had finished calming down his two children and came out, Leslie had already left.

Amos held Eudora's hand, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Eudora felt a warm sensation against her palm, and she nodded at Amos.

In the past few days when Tina had been around, Eudora's family had been in a state of chaos, and the family had not had a good meal together. Therefore, in the evening, Eudora tricked Amos into cooking. As for herself, she was scrolling through Facebook on Amos' phone. She used to feel that it was a waste of time to scroll through Facebook. However, ever since she started using it, she found that it was actually quite fun.

Most importantly, there were many contents that were not as vulgar as she thought. On the contrary, they were actually quite interesting.

Eudora scrolled for a while and happened to see an interesting video. When she was about to show it to Amos, the cell phone suddenly rang.

Then, she casually called out, "Hubby, it's a call."

"Answer it!" Amos said. At the same time, he was busy washing vegetables, and both of his hands were wet.

Eudora picked it up. Before she could speak, Clint's frantic voice rang out from the other end.

"President Granger, it's bad news! The person you had asked me to keep an eye on last time suddenly threw out all the stocks he had!" Eudora was stunned. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, she hurriedly got up to look for Amos.

"Amos, it's about the stocks."

Amos frowned and reached out his hand to take the phone.

"What's wrong? Clint seems to be very anxious," Eudora said.

Amos shook his head, "It's fine! Don't worry!"

After that, he took his mobile phone upstairs and went into the study.

When he was alone, he took a deep breath and said, "Speak!"

Clint repeated his words. Amos frowned and said, "According to our analysis, even if they sold everything they had bought, it wouldn't have any effect, right?"

"I'm sorry, President Granger," Clint's voice gradually lowered.

"It's my fault. I kept an eye on him, but I didn't notice that some retail investors have also been acting strange recently! They're actually in it together and they've all sold their stocks. Our stock price has fallen quite a lot since just now!"

Amos's face darkened slightly, "Got it. Keep an eye on it. I'll be right there."

When Amos took his coat and went downstairs, he saw Eudora and his two children standing at the stairs and looking at him quietly.

When Eudora saw that he was about to leave, the worry on her face grew even greater.

"Is it that troublesome?"

"No! It's just a small problem. You, Juju, and Sugar Bun should stay put at home. I'll be right back! If you all aren't hungry, I'll take us out to have pizza later." Eudora loved pizza the most. On normal days, she would have been very happy, but her mood could not be lifted up for some reason at the moment. After Leslie had talked to her in the afternoon, things had already developed to this point.

Even worse, Amos was heading out in the middle of the night. If it really was a trivial matter, why did he appear more nervous than ever before? Eudora was incredibly anxious, but she also knew that if she worried too much at the moment, Amos would grow even more worried. Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Eudora smiled and said, "Okay, then come back early! I'll wait for you at home with Sugar Bun and Juju." Amos nodded his head and quickly went out with his things in hand.

After Amos left, Eudora lowered her head to see Juju's worried expression.

"Mom, did Dad encounter something difficult? Why do I see that he seems to be in a bad mood?"

Eudora looked at Juju in shock. Her little girl knew so much although she was only a child. She could even see through all these kinds of things.

"No, Dad was just unwilling to go out. Let's go. Let's play together and wait for Dad to come back, okay?"

Meanwhile, after Amos went out, he stared at a dark area.

He spoke, "Charlie, remember what I've said. No matter what happens, you must protect them well! Especially tonight, all of my bodyguards have also been called over to ensure that nothing will go wrong!" "But..."Charlie hesitated, "There are now only three people by your side..."

"It doesn't matter. Their target is Eudora. What's more, I can deal with the situation myself!"

"Yes!" Charlie had no choice but to obey him and watched as Amos left.

It was getting dark as Eudora played with the two kids for a while. When Sugar Bun got tired, Eudora helped him take a bath and put him to sleep first.

When she came out, she looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past nine o'clock, and Amos had not come back yet.

There was a faint worry in her heart. Eudora took the phone and wanted to call Amos. However, when she recalled how he had been in such a hurry when he left, she dared not disturb him, so she put down the phone.

Then, Juju also took a bath and went to sleep.

Eudora stared at the clock until twelve o'clock and finally received a call from Amos.

"I'm sorry, things are getting a little tricky. I've been working on them till now."

Hearing his voice, Eudora's heart finally relaxed a little.

"It's fine. How's it going now?"

"It's almost done. I'm preparing to go back. You haven't eaten anything yet, have you? I'm going to buy you some food for us to have supper together later." Eudora opened her mouth, "I..."

"Don't lie to me! I don't even need to think about it. You must have been so anxious at home that you haven't eaten anything. I'll get you your favorite pizza, okay?"

After a slight pause, Amos said again, "It won't be any trouble. I'll buy them on my way back. Wait for me to come home."

Eudora looked at the phone that had been hung up, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

In fact, it had not been many years since she and Amos had gotten together. However, many long-lasting couples might not even have reached the level of mutual understanding they had! Thinking that Amos was going to bring supper back, Eudora went to get a bottle of red wine. After experiencing such a thing, why couldn't they drink and celebrate?

She took the decanter, poured out the red wine, and then sat in front of the table with her chin in her hands, waiting for Amos.

One hour, then two hours, passed.

Her cell phone rang again, and Eudora hurriedly jumped up to pick it up. She was anxious, and she muttered, "Didn't you say that you were on the way? You haven't come back after so long..." The other party was taken aback for a moment.

Then, a dignified voice sounded, "Is this a family member of the driver of license plate 'R100001? There has been a car accident. Please head over here to identify the victim."

Eudora's hand trembled, and she accidentally knocked over the decanter on the table.

With a loud clang, the decanter fell to the ground, shattering like Eudora's heart.
