One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos Granger snorted and said, “It seems like my orders mean nothing now, huh?”

Without waiting for their response, he went next door and retrieved a hammer. Then, he walked over and smashed the door open.

Eudora George was bored out of her mind in the room. When she heard the sound, she hurriedly maneuvered her wheelchair toward Amos and said, “Amos…”

Amos stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

“I’m fine,” Eudora gradually calmed down, “How is the Old Master?”

Amos’s expression froze, “He… was poisoned. The doctor said that he might not wake up.”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, and the beautiful dream from the night before suddenly came to mind. At that time, she thought it was a good sign, so she didn’t expect it to be short-lived.

“How could this be?” Eudora asked as tears started to well up in her eyes, “I promised him that I will persuade you and Juju to spend more time with him. I haven’t done it yet.”

Amos gently caressed her hands and said, “It’s not your fault. Let’s get out of the room first.”

After that, he stood up and pushed Eudora out of the room.

The servants outside were so scared that they didn’t dare to breathe. As one would have expected, they didn’t dare to block Amos’ way either.

Amos and Eudora walked straight out of the main house. When they arrived at the front door, Harry Granger, Kaylene Yoder, and Steven Granger had just gotten back from the hospital.

When Harry saw Amos pushing Eudora, he immediately reprimanded him.

“Amos, what’s wrong with you? She’s a suspect. What’s wrong with me locking her up? How dare you release her without my permission?”

Amos said coldly, “Master Harry, you seem to think that you are God. What about the police then? What rights do you have to lock her up?”

“You…” Harry’s face darkened, “Are you not going to address me as your uncle? Is this how you respect your elders?”

“Respect is earned, not given. I’ll only respect those who deserves my respect.”

Harry wanted to retort, but Steven quickly stopped him, “Dad, don’t do this. In fact, Amos is right. You have no right to lock Eudora up. Anyway, we have already reported this case to the police. We will let them handle it from now on. They will definitely find out who did it.”

While they were talking, a housekeeper came over and spoke.

“Young Master Amos and Master Harry, the police are here.”

“Let them in,” Amos said.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Right on time. Ask the police to take this woman to the police station.”

“It’s not up to you to decide.”

…

The group of police was led by Harley Louis. As soon as Harry saw him, he shouted, “This is not right. I won’t accept this. I want someone else to be in charge of this case.”

Harley took out his police card and said, “This is my ID. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, please go ahead and report me. This is my ID number.”

Harry was a coward, to begin with. But when he came face-to-face with someone more powerful than he was, he usually did not dare to make any noise.

There were a few people that he was afraid of. One was Old Master Granger, and the other was Amos. The last one was Harley.

Harley looked like a punk, but he was definitely the best in his field of work. Countless rich people from Rosaville City who refused to follow the law had fallen into his hands.

While Harry was still stunned, Harley put his ID away.

“Where is the crime scene?”

“Over there!” Eudora said and took them there.

While his colleague was busy collecting evidence, Harley found the servant, Sister Faye, who usually took care of the Old Master.

“Tell me about the Old Master’s recent condition.”

Sister Faye seemed a little nervous, and Harry immediately spoke.

“What are you nervous about? If something is off, then you just have to say so.”

Sister Faye said, “I have been taking care of the Old Master all this while. He usually takes his medicine on time. He also sleeps a lot. Everything was normal.”

Harley nodded, “Then, what happened this morning?”

Sister Faye immediately waved her hand and said, “I really don’t know. I did not poison him.”

“No one said that it was you who poisoned him. I just wanted to understand the situation better. Please tell me what happened this morning.”

Sister Faye finally felt a little relieved and she spoke slowly.

“Because an important meeting was going to take place this morning, the Old Master reminded me last night before going to bed that I should be early this morning. By the time I got here today, the Old Master was already awake. I helped him change his clothes, and then, he said that he wanted to take medicine. I told him it was not a good idea to take the medicine on an empty stomach, so I told him that I was going to make him some breakfast. When I came back…”

Sister Faye glanced at Eudora as she spoke.

Eudora said with a smile, “Just tell him the truth.”

Sister Faye nodded, “When I came back, I saw Miss George in the room. The Old Master had already fainted and his breath was very weak. Miss George asked me to call the doctor. That’s what…”

Harley nodded, “You may go now. You are not to leave the Granger family on your own for the next few days. If we have any problem, we will contact you.”

After Sister Faye left, Harley looked at Eudora again.

“Miss George, please tell me what were you doing in the Old Master’s room this morning.”

Harley, who was usually sloppy, was very professional in his work. Eudora said truthfully, “I went to his room this morning because one of the servants told me that the Old Master was looking for me. I had been taking care of him before I got injured, so I didn’t suspect anything. However, by the time I got here, I realized that the Old Master had already fainted. From that point onward, you know what happened.”

“Nonsense. According to Sister Faye’s statement, she had already helped the Old Master into his clothes, so why would he ask you to come over? You are looking for an excuse! You said that someone called you, but who was that person? Let’s ask her to come over.”

Eudora opened her mouth and she suddenly realized that she did not know that servant.

At that moment, Eudora assumed that she was a servant just because the girl was wearing a servant’s uniform. After all, the Granger family was heavily guarded. If she wasn’t a servant, she wouldn’t have been able to enter the compound.

Therefore, she didn’t find it suspicious.

Seeing that Eudora did not reply, Harry suddenly smiled.

“Honestly, I think that you have evil intentions. You couldn’t tell me who that person is, could you? That’s because this person does not exist. It was all your own imagination!”

“No!” Eudora frowned, “I don’t know who that person is, but I remember how she looked like. You should gather all the new servants. I’ll be able to tell you who that person is when I see her.”

Amos immediately looked at the housekeeper, who then left right away and gathered all the new servants.

Amos reached out and took Eudora’s hand, silently offering her a little encouragement. As long as he believed in her, she would feel more at ease.

A moment later, the housekeeper came back with five people.

“These are all the new servants.”

Eudora looked at them one by one. Not this one, not that one; none of them looked like the person whom she had encountered in the morning.

“That’s strange,” A terrible thought suddenly occurred to her. That person was not a servant at all. Someone had deliberately lured her into this.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Therefore, after the incident, the person must have fled.

When Amos saw the look on her face, he immediately called for help, “Quick, check the surveillance camera and see if anyone has gone out today!”
