My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 765

Mark fell onto the ground. His cell phone rang again, showing the same caller number as before. With trembling fingers, he tried to press the reject button but accidentally answered it instead.

A vicious voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

He said, "Mark, how dare you try to bluff me? I won't let you get away with this!"

He quickly threw away his phone and turned to run outside. Eudora came after him, saying, "Stop! Where's Amos? Keep your promise. We won, so return Amos to me!"

Mark glared coldly at her and said, "Amos? Sure! I'll return him to you."

He turned to look at the assistant right behind him, asking, "Tell us, where is Amos?"

Joe quickly replied, "He is in the basement of the Valiant East Group..."

Clint was startled. He asked, "How could that be? Since when did someone enter the basement?"

Joe showed him footage from the surveillance camera. Mark explained, "Don't you understand? We slipped him in when none of you were paying attention. The most dangerous place is the safest of all..." Then, Mark suddenly chuckled.

He continued, "But, let me tell you. There's a bomb in there exploding in 15 minutes. Boom!"

As soon as he finished, he turned and ran outside.

Harley quickly went after him. Out of nowhere, Mark pulled out a gun and aimed a shot at Harley's shoulder.

Harley grunted in pain but continued rushing forward and held Mark down.

Once Eudora got into her car, she sped towards her company like a lunatic.

In the meantime, Clint was also frantically making a phone call back to the company.

He did not dare to tell them that a bomb was in the basement. Otherwise, no one would hurry to Amos' rescue. His only instruction was for the supervisor to arrange for everyone to take a break and clear out the building within half an hour.

He also asked the supervisor to check and see if anyone was in the basement,

However, the supervisor quickly replied that there was not anyone in there.

More than ten minutes had already passed, so Clint did not dare to ask for another search attempt and told the supervisor to leave the building immediately.

Hearing this, Eudora sped up the car even more.

Soon, the traffic police were after her, yelling for her to stop the car.

However, she couldn't care less. The only thought occupying her mind right now was to save Amos.

After another ten minutes, the car finally halted in front of the Valiant East Group's entrance.

At the same time, the bomb disposal experts, arranged by Harley, also arrived. They were only waiting to defuse the bomb after it was found. However, where was the bomb?

Everyone rushed towards the basement. Suddenly, Eudora stopped in her tracks.

Clint hurriedly asked, "Madam, did you think of something?"

Eudora nodded.

She mumbled, "Remember what Mark said?

The most dangerous place is the safest of all!" "Of course, I remember! That's why he locked up President Granger in the basement," he replied.

"No!" Eudora shook her head and continued, "He said that there was half an hour before the bomb blows up, but at that time our company was still full of people. Usually, there are a lot of people going in and out of the underground parking lot. If Amos really was in the basement, we definitely would've been able to resolve this crisis within half an hour, and Mark's plan would have been completely in vain! He had been plotting this for so long. Surely, he wouldn't be so stupid!"

"So...you mean to say that President Granger is definitely not in the basement?" asked Clint.

Eudora nodded and said, "Perhaps we should think in the opposite direction."

As soon as she had finished her sentence, something clicked in Clint's mind. They shared a glance and exclaimed together, "The top floor!"

The highest floor of the Valiant East Group building was the administrative centre of the company.

Amos's office and everything valuable to the Valiant East Group were there. Very few people were allowed to go up, and they were all basically those of leadership positions.

Especially after something had happened to Amos, even fewer people went up.

That would have been an excellent place to hide someone!

Eudora and Clint did not dare to hesitate any longer, quickly scrambling onto the elevator.

He took a look at his watch. There were only four minutes left before the expected explosion.

"Madam, I'll go up alone. Go out with the rest of the people and wait for me outside. Trust me, I'll definitely bring President Granger back!" said Clint.

Eudora knew that he did not want her to put herself in danger.

However, the person who was waiting to be rescued upstairs was none other than her own husband.

"Clint..." Eudora suddenly said. As he raised his head, he watched as she pushed him out of the elevator.

The doors of the elevator closed quickly. She took a deep breath and stared at the ascending floor numbers. Five, ten, fifteen...

"Ding!" The doors opened, and Eudora sprinted out of the elevator.

"Amos!" Eudora yelled out for him.

"No one is in the office!" she thought to herself. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a slight noise coming from somewhere. It sounded as though it was coming from the next room! Eudora hurried over there, but it was an elevator shaft next door; she had just come up from there.

"Could it be that he's somewhere I didn't notice?" thought Eudora. When she was about to go into the elevator, she suddenly remembered what Amos had once told her.

Old Master Granger had always prioritized the issue of security and privacy and that led every leader in the Granger family to build a compartment in their office.

Previously, Kesha had been to the compartment in Amos' office in Greene City.

It was what Amos had told her.

That meant...

She hurriedly ran back and took another look around the office, calling out, "Amos?"

This time, there was no sound. Eudora had a gut feeling that something was out of place. She glanced around and finally fixed her eyes on a drawing on the wall. As Amos had not been here recently, she also did not come to the office as much.

Therefore, the cleaners had not cleaned this place in a long time.

Upon closer inspection at the edges of the frame of the drawing, Eudora noticed a trace of dust being smudged away by a finger.

She quickly brought down the drawing and, sure enough, she found a locked partition. Its original keyhole seemed to have been destroyed.

This must be the reason for Amos not getting out.

Mark had used his own key to lock this place. Immediately, she went to look for tools. Thankfully, she was very familiar with the layout of things here. After a while, the hammer was in place, and she started hacking away at the lock with everything she had.

She mustered up all her strength, but it still fell short by just that little bit.

There were only two minutes left till the expected time of explosion.

Her heart kept pounding, until Wesley ran in from behind her without notice.

"Madam, give it to me. I'll do it," he said.

She didn't have time to hesitate. After all, Wesley was a man, and his strength was definitely much bigger than hers. Hence, she handed the hammer over to him.

"Move back!" he shouted. Then, he brandished the hammer and smashed down on the lock with all his might.

Three hits later, the lock fell to the ground. She opened the door and saw a familiar figure standing there.

He had lost a lot of weight. The even scarier part was that he had numerous scars on his body. Mark had definitely tortured him a lot!

Her eyes reddened. "Hubby..."
