My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 781

They were at Valiant East Catering.

Sebastian stood there, looking at Uriah in anger.

"Where's the secret ingredient?"

Uriah shook his head as he replied, "We've finished using it!"

"If it's finished, then formulate another one! How would you have a secret ingredient if you don't formulate it?"

"There's no formula for us to follow. The recipe used to be delivered by President Granger's people in the past once a month! We've never had it in our possession."

"Is that so?" Sebastian was dubious.

Nick was curious, "That's not true, isn't it? Haven't I heard that Old Master Granger trusted you a lot? Wouldn't he have directly given you the formula?"

Upon hearing this, Uriah, who was calm and composed, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Nick, you must be joking. I am but an employee under the Granger family. No matter how trustworthy I may be, that recipe is still a secret, special recipe belonging to the Granger family. How could they give it to an outsider?"

It was probably due to Uriah's firm stance that Nick's suspicions gradually dissipated.

He waved his hand and said, "You can leave now!"

After Uriah left, only then did Nick continue speaking, "According to the Granger family rules, the formula is in the hands of the head of the family. So, we have no choice but to look for Eudora!"

Sebastian shook his head stubbornly as he immediately refused, "I'm not going to look for her! Can't you see that she has set this up? She wants me to look for her, so that she can seize the opportunity to come back and compete with me!"

Nick understood what he meant too, but refuted, "However, if you don't go and look for her, what are we going to do with Valiant East Catering? Are we going to just ignore it?"

If Valiant East Catering was merely an ordinary catering company, perhaps Nick would have just left it just like that. However, that wasn't the case.

Just like how buildings are constructed, the Valiant East Group was a huge skyscraper, and Valiant East Catering was its foundation.

If the foundation could not be preserved, then the whole building would collapse.

Being pushed relentlessly by Nick, Sebastian had no choice but to make a promise.

"You don't have to concern yourself with this. Just give me three days' time, and I will definitely solve this issue."

"How so?" Nick questioned.

"It's none of your business. Just know that I'll definitely solve it!"

Those who had the ability to sit in a senior position were not fools either. Nick could clearly see that Sebastian was going to take extreme measures. However, why did that matter? As long as it was something that could benefit them in the slightest, it was alright.

Nick nodded in agreement, "Alright! Then, take care of it as soon as possible!"

After Nick left, Sebastian called in his own assistant, Harper and whispered a few words. Harper nodded, then quickly exited the room.

Sebastian stroked his chin and sneered, "Humph, how dare such an ignorant woman compete with me?"

Meanwhile, in the log cabin up in the mountains.

Eudora felt that something was off. Tina was constantly zoning out these two days. She often went out on her own without saying a word. She had said that she wanted to clear her thoughts alone, and she had refused to let anyone go with her.

Christopher was worried, so he consulted Eudora.

So, he consulted Eudora, "What's wrong with Tina?"

Eudora was also puzzled, "Did something happen to the both of you in the hospital? I've also felt that she's been acting oddly recently."

Christopher shook his head, "It was just Anthony had visited once and had said some nasty things. Tina had gotten so angry back then that she hit him!"

Eudora's brows furrowed, "Tina hit someone? Doesn't she usually encourage one to patiently wait for the storm to pass?"

Christopher mustered a bitter smile, "She was probably angered on my behalf by my eldest brother scolding me!"

That was also a possibility. After all, Tina really loved Christopher.

Eudora then reassured him, "I understand. I'll have a chat with her when she comes back."

Just as she was speaking, Charlie entered the house.

"Madam, the alarm at Clearwater Bay has just gone off."

Eudora paused, "Has he taken the bait?"

Eudora stood before the surveillance records that had been brought in by Charlie, staring at the man on the screen. He was wrapped up tightly in black in broad daylight, standing out. His costume had backfired and it ended up exposing himself instead.

The man stealthily flipped himself over the gates of Clearwater Bay, then went up the second floor from the rear window.

Charlie was pleasantly surprised, "Madam, you were smart to leave a window open on the second floor. They've definitely taken the bait."

Only after watching the man enter through the window did Eudora retract her gaze.

"Call the police!"

Charlie immediately contacted the police. A moment later, Cindy went to open the door and led the police in.

Not long after, the man dressed in black was brought out of the room.

"Alright. Next, we wait for Sebastian to get riled up!"

Charlie nodded, then quickly went dark again.

After Charlie left, Christopher smiled as he praised her, "Good job! This step-by-step strategy is indeed impressive!"

Eudora bit her lips, "I learnt this from Amos!"

Christopher made a heartfelt sigh, saying, "Truth be told, I can understand how you're feeling. Amos is gone. Even though you're putting on a tough facade, you're actually suffering on the inside. Sometimes, I can't help but imagine that if Tina were to leave me one day, I would probably crumble to pieces. Hence, you must love yourself!"

Eudora's nose twitched, and she hurriedly turned away.

"Why are we talking about this out of the blue? I'm fine!"

Upon hearing this, Christopher pretended to be fierce, "Why? Do you not consider me as family? When you and Amos were together, we were already like brothers. We've been together for so many years overseas, can't I even be considered your brother?"

Eudora pursed her lips as she replied, "You're like a sister to me."

Christopher's brows knitted even more tightly, contemplating the weight of the word 'sister'.

Finally, he nodded.

"Fine, fine. What can I say, we're family after all. Then, I'll become your sister! Come, call me 'Big Sis'; Big Sis will help you out in the future."

Eudora was disgusted, "That's enough!"

"Didn't you ask me to be your sister?" The both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It just so happened that Tina had entered the room at that time. When she saw this scene, she hurriedly retreated again.

"I just remembered that I've left something behind. I'm going to go take a look."

"Tina!" Eudora had already called out to stop her, "Didn't you go out empty-handed? What could you have possibly left behind?"

Tina stood there awkwardly, "I'll go out for a walk then."

"I'll go with you!" Eudora followed after her.

The sun was setting. The clouds were flaming red in the horizon, covering the land like a beautiful red veil.

The two of them walked together, one in front of the other. Their shadows were lengthening infinitely.

Eudora waited for a long time, but Tina did not speak a single word. Hence, she took the initiative

She spoke first, "Tina, what's wrong?" However, Tina kept quiet.

"Did you see something when you received the health report that day in the hospital?"

Eudora had also been comforting Christopher just now, and she recollected what she had seen that day. Regardless, she did not want to create a ridge between the both of them, so she told him that she had no idea.

Tina raised her head in surprise and looked at Eudora.

Eudora finally received confirmation that the health report played a part in her behavior, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Did the report state that Christopher's physical condition was completely healthy?"
