One Night Stand With That Beggar

Chapter 282 In Order to Capture, One Must Let Go



Before Kesha even handed Eudora the gift, Amos looked at the housekeeper who was standing behind him and said, “Are you not going to throw it away?”

The housekeeper took the gift hurriedly and left with Kesha. As Kesha walked out of the main gate, she saw the housekeeper throw the gift into the trash can.

There were so many trash cans in the Granger family’s mansion, however, the housekeeper had deliberately threw outside, which obviously meant something. Kesha gritted her teeth and said, “Oh, Eudora. You really think of yourself as the Young Mistress of the Granger family, don’t you?”

Just as she was thinking, someone tapped her on her shoulder.

“It’s you?”

Kesha George was stunned. She turned around and saw an enchanting smile on the guy’s face. It was the guy that Eudora George was with the other day, Steven Granger.

In fact, the only reason she was at the Granger family mansion and pretending to look for her sister was all for Steven.

After getting enchanted by Steven’s smile the other day, Kesha went home and did some research on him.

Only then did she learn that Steven was from the Granger family. Although his family was not as powerful as Amos’, his family still enjoyed the benefits of being part of the Granger family.

Moreover, Steven was not dumb. At present, he had a project at hand. It was a large-scale amusement park. There was reliable news that Valiant East had invested in the project.

That meant that Steven’s family had made great progress. If she could become their young mistress, she would not need to fear Amos Granger anymore.

Not just the Granger family, but also those who had been publicly and secretly abusing her over the past few years. They would all have to bow down to her then.

That was why she was willing to come over and endure the humiliation. However, she didn’t expect Amos to be a hindrance. Eudora, that d*mned woman, was not as easy to fool as she used to be either.

She thought that she had ruined her chance, but that was obviously not the case now.

Thinking of this, Kesha quickly put on a smile, hoping to seduce Steven.

“Hey, it’s you. We are destined to meet.”

Steven nodded, “Are you here for your sister? Why didn’t you go inside?”

Kesha shook her head, and she had an innocent look on her face.

“Eudora and I have a minor misunderstanding and she refuses to forgive me until now. Maybe next time!”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Steven raised his eyebrows and said, “No way. My sister-in-law is very nice. She is in charge of designing my amusement park. What kind of misunderstanding was it? Let me talk to her for you.”

How could she let him help her? Kesha quickly shook her head, but she didn’t want to waste this good opportunity. After thinking for a while, she finally had an idea. She deliberately tore off the necklace from her neck as she tied her hair.

Then, she bid Steven goodbye with a look of grievance.

“Thank you, but I have to go now.”

As she walked away, Kesha counted her steps silently.

One, two, three…

After 5 steps, she heard Steven calling after her, “Wait a minute. You dropped something.”

Kesha was delighted and she turned back in a hurry, “Hm? I didn’t drop anything.”

“You dropped your necklace!” Steven held a broken necklace in his hand.

Kesha looked at it and she immediately touched her neck, “It’s really my necklace. My father gave this to me. He said that it would bring me good luck. Now it’s broken, and what should I do…”

She pretended to be distressed as she looked at the necklace, “It looks irreparable.”

“Maybe I could help you. I have a friend who does these sorts of things. Why not give it to me? I’ll take it to my friend and return it to you in a few days.”

“Would it be too much trouble for you?” Kesha asked.

“Of course not! Why don’t we exchange numbers?”

After the two of them exchanged numbers, Kesha left, feeling satisfied.

Steven looked at Kesha as she walked away. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smirk.

The housekeeper then came out and spoke with a smile.

“Young Master Steven, Master Harry is looking for you.” Steven nodded and then walked in.

Steven went straight to the backyard. As soon as he walked through the door, Kaylene Yoder rushed over to him, “I just saw you at the door with Eudora’s sister. What were you guys talking about?”

Steven smiled and said, “Nothing much. We just had a brief conversation.”

“Don’t talk to her anymore. That girl has a terrible reputation and she’s not a good person. Eudora doesn’t care about her, so why should you care about her?”

Steven looked at Harry Granger, who was standing behind her, with disapproval.

“I know what I’m doing.”

Kaylene didn’t manage to convince him so she hovered for Harry.

“This child is getting more and more mysterious. You should warn him!”

Harry sighed helplessly, “Alright, you don’t have to worry about this. I had asked you to help Bethany with the banquet for Thanksgiving. Did you do it? You’d better behave better in front of my brother.”

“Of course I did help. Let’s go now.”

Kaylene then walked out of the room first.

In the evening, as the sun set slowly, all the lights in the courtyard of the Granger family were lit up. There were lights everywhere and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

The Old Master seemed to be in a good mood, so he took a few slices of cake and gave them to the two kids. Since Juju was receptive to the old man, she didn’t seem to be rejecting him as she did before.

She showed appreciation to the Old Master as she accepted the cake.

The Old Master was overjoyed and he spoke to Juju, “How is your going in school?”

Juju nodded. Bethany Hamilton then said, “Juju is a very good student. Vincent has made a lot of progress recently too.”

The Old Master nodded with gratification, “All of you are good kids.”

Harry immediately continued and said, “Brother, Steven is doing well too. The preparations for the amusement park are nearly done. We will be able to start construction once the design is completed.”

“Good!” The Old Master was delighted. He immediately ordered the servant, “Bring me some good wine from the wine cellar. We will drink tonight!”

Bethany said hurriedly, “Old Master, you shouldn’t drink. It will affect your health.”

“It’s okay. I’m happy today. I’ll die sooner or later. Let’s not talk about my health anymore.”

Everyone was quiet after listening to the Old Master’s words. After a while, Vincent Granger suddenly spoke.

“Grandpa, you’ll be fine. You’ll live a long life.”

Old Master Granger nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right! Thank you for your wish.”

Juju didn’t say a word. Looking at the Old Master’s expression, she thought for a while.

The servant quickly brought the wine. The family gathered around to drink as they admired the decorations out in the yard. The Old Master soon decided to call it a night, saying that he was dizzy and that he wanted to go upstairs.

At first, Eudora didn’t want to leave but Amos reached for her hand, “We have known each other for so many years, but we have never celebrated Thanksgiving together!”

His words sounded a little bit aggrieved and Eudora’s heart softened. She bent down, picked Juju up, and spoke.

“From today onward, the three of us will spend every Thanksgiving together every year!”
