One Night Stand With That Beggar

In the next room.

Amos had requested that Harley and his men to be stationed in front of the surveillance panels at all times. They had spent a few days watching the footage and fatigue was getting to them.

Harley Louis shook himself awake and went to wash his face.

When he turned around, he saw Thea Stewart standing behind him with a thermos in her hand.

“I know you’ve been working very hard. I was in the area, so I thought I’d bring you some soup. Perhaps this might replenish your energy a little.”

Harley smiled slightly, “No one’s soup is as good as yours.”

Thea rolled her eyes at him. She then turned around and looked as though she was about to leave.

Harley was disappointed and he quickly apologized, “I’m just kidding…”

Before he could even finish, Thea ran back to him and kissed him on the lips, “This ought to charge you up. See you later!”

Holding the thermos, Harley felt his heart pumping furiously for the first time in his life. He finally understood how Eudora could sway Amos so much.

He felt completely awake!

Harley walked back arrogantly and woke all his sleeping colleagues.

“Let’s get to work!”

His colleagues whined, “Captain, cut us some slack.”

Harley glanced at them, “How can you single people supposed to understand me?”

Everyone was speechless.

Harley was just about to brag about his thermos of soup when he saw a dark figure standing by the bed through the surveillance panels.

The dark figure stretched out out his wicked hands toward the person lying on the bed.

A light flashed before Harley’s eyes and he rushed out of the control room.

His colleagues quickly ran after him.

The person had already lifted the old man’s quilt, and his knife was merely a few inches from his chest.

The next second, he felt someone grabbing his hand. Amos Granger sat up from the bed instead of the Old Master.

The man was stunned. He turned around and tried to sprint, but before he could, Harley and his men had already surrounded him.

“Let’s see where you’ll run to now.”

The man was dumbfounded. He had no choice but to fight them.

Just as Harley was about to raise his fists, Amos threw his blazer onto the ground, “He’s mine!”

Harley was stunned, “When did you become so gung-ho?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Amos smiled and said, “The surveillance camera is recording, right? Please save me a clip for my wife and daughter.”

Harley cringed.

“You’re doing this so that you could show off to your wife and daughter? Are you mad?!”

Amos ignored him and started swinging his fists at the man.

Harley watched them from the side when suddenly, a light bulb lit up inside his head. He said, “I should probably show it to Thea too!”

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted.

“Amos, wait.”

Before he could even finish his sentence, Amos had already made his move. His fist hit the man’s face, causing the person to fall to the ground.

Harley didn’t know what to say.

“How could you do this to me?”

Amos shrugged, “I’m sorry, I haven’t fought in a long time. I may have lost control. Maybe you will have your turn when he wakes up?”

Harley’s eyes lit up, “I’d like that.”

The man, who had passed out on the ground, trembled all of a sudden. It was as though he was imagining the pain that he would encounter later.

Amos then bent down and removed the mask from the man’s face.

“It’s him.”

Amos’ lips twitched coldly,

Harley asked in a hurry, “Who is he? Is he one of your Uncle’s men?”

“Yes! He used to be Uncle Harry’s assistant at the company.”

“Alright, we’ve got the evidence now! Let’s see how your Uncle Harry will deny it this time.”

“This isn’t enough. He could still get away with it. Have someone look into his call records. Uncle Harry rarely goes to the company now, so I’m sure they’ve been in contact with each other.”

Harley nodded and immediately beckoned to his colleagues, “Check his call records right now.”

His colleague asked curiously, “Don’t we need to bring him in first?”

“It’s fine. Once I’m done with him, I’ll book him in!”

“But… isn’t he already unconscious?”

Harley frowned, “Just do your job!”

Amos looked at him, speechless. Then, he went to the next room to make a copy of the footage. When he was done, he headed to the other room.

The Old Master was in this room and sleeping peacefully on his bed.

Eudora, who was with the Old Master, couldn’t help peeping outside the room. She was anxious as she didn’t know what was going on in the other room.

While she was still wondering if she should check on him, Amos pushed the door open and walked in.

“Were you about to leave the room? Why?” Amos squatted down and touched her hand. After confirming that she wasn’t feverish, he wheeled her back into the room.

Eudora was anxious, “What happened?”

“It’s settled. Uncle Harry’s assistant has been caught and I was the one who caught him.”

Amos deliberately stressed the word ‘I’, but Eudora’s mind was focused on something else.

“But we still don’t have enough evidence!”

Amos frowned, “They’re looking for it”

“Oh!” Eudora was relieved, “That’s good then. I hope that we’ll get it as soon as possible!”

At this moment, Eudora looked up and saw Amos pouting. Yes, the grown man was actually pouting.

Eudora thought that there was probably dust in her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him again only to find he was still pouting.

She was speechless.

“Amos, what’s the matter?”

He huffed, “Baby, you don’t seem to care about me.”

Eudora was clueless.

“I’m sorry,” she said, “Are you hurt?”

She then rolled up his sleeves and examined his arms. However, he grabbed her hands as she did that.

“I’m not hurt!”

“Then why did you say that I didn’t care about you? What’s wrong?”

Amos had to tell her, “You weren’t listening to me earlier.”

“I heard you! You said that you’ve caught the man and you’re looking for more evidence.”

Amos was speechless. What else could he do? His wife wasn’t paying attention to him, so he had to teach her a lesson.

He then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Eudora was taken aback; they were right in front of the Old Master. What if he woke up all of a sudden? Wouldn’t he pass out again if he saw them?

She tried to push him away but he held onto her arm firmly, not letting her escape.

It was only when both of them were out of breath that Amos finally retreated. He licked her lips before finally letting her go.

Eudora’s face was already red and she stared at him coquettishly.

“Stay away from me tonight,” she muttered.

Amos didn’t reply.

Eudora then wheeled herself to the farthest corner of the room. Both of them sat like this for a while before Amos relented and brought her back to him.

“I promise that I won’t touch you, so can we sleep together tonight?”
