Chapter 367 We’re Just Friends
Eudora shook her head. “No, it was his assistant who called me! I found the information on my computer and came here after learning about it.”
Amos frowned and thought that it was a little strange.
At this moment, Eudora’s cell phone rang. It was Christopher, “Eudora…”
Eudora was stunned and she turned to look at Amos subconsciously. Christopher had suddenly called her. Would Amos be angry with her?
Amos asked, “Who is it?”
“I’m looking for Amos,” Christopher said.
Eudora was speechless. Was her job just to transfer calls? He seemed to be jealous because she was close to a few girls the last time. Should she also be jealous right now?
Forget it, she was not that crazy!
Amos had already answered Eudora’s phone at this moment, “Amos speaking.”
“Amos!” Christopher said hurriedly, “Please do me a favor…”
…
Eudora understood the ins and outs of the situation when they were making their way to the Gellert house. Christopher said that Tina was missing.
It seemed that she had been taken away by several men in black. Christopher had already used the connections from the Gellert family to search for her for the whole afternoon, but to no avail.
He was nervous and scared, so he thought of asking for Amos’ help.
When Amos and Eudora arrived at the Gellert house, they saw Christopher sitting in the living room, his suit crumpled.
The servants next to him did not dare to clean up the place. They could only stare at the mess in silence.
Amos pursed his lips, “What’s going on?”
Christopher stood up immediately and said, “Amos, she was last seen here.”
Amos wondered if Tina had been kidnapped, and his face darkened. He reached out and grabbed Eudora’s finger instinctively.
Eudora’s heart tightened, and she held Amos’ hand in return.
Amos immediately called Clint and Harley after learning all the details.
Half an hour later, they all gathered in the hall of the Gellert house.
Harley looked quite haggard these past few days, but he was still in good spirits.
As soon as he reached the Gellert house, he shouted, “I will send someone to check it out immediately. Once I find out who did this, I will chop off their…”
He shut up before he finished his sentence.
The crowd followed his gaze, only to see Thea standing outside the door.
Compared to Harley’s haggard look, she looked quite charming. She wore dazzling makeup and looked stunning.
She paused for a moment and walked into the room.
“There’s no need to look for her. Tina is fine.”
Christopher stood up abruptly and asked, “Do you know what had happened?”
Thea said, “I think that she might have been taken away by her father!”
Tina had told Christopher before that she had run away from home because her family was forcing her to get married. He had been used to her company so he had forgotten to ask her about it.
What on earth was going on with her family?
“Miss Stewart, do you know what’s going on with Tina’s family? Please tell me.”
Thea pursed her lips and said, “Actually, Tina’s father is Tyler Holt.”
When his name was revealed, everything seemed to finally make sense. Tyler was both righteous and evil. If the Granger family was the boss of Rosaville City, then the Holt family was considered the boss of Greene City.
In his early years, Tyler started his career as a gangster on the streets. Later, he grew bigger and stronger and began to enter the entertainment industry.
Rumors had it that famous movie stars were forced to act with a gun to their heads, and Tyler was the man behind it. However, later, it was said that he fell in love with a woman and left the gang for that woman.
However, that woman married someone else in the end…
Over the years, even the police could not find any dirt about him. Therefore, they stopped paying attention to him.
No one expected that Tina was his daughter.
After a moment of silence, Christopher stood up and said, “I’ll go pick her up.”
Harley grabbed him and said, “Don’t do anything impulsive. Everything is fine now that you know she’s in her parents’ home and she’s safe and sound. You’d better think about how you’re going to explain it to her parents!”
When Amos and the others realized that everything was fine, they did not stay at the Gellert house much longer.
“We’ll be leaving first!”
Eudora looked at Amos once they got into the car. It seemed that he was still upset, “What’s wrong with you, Mr. Granger? I don’t get lost!”
“Don’t talk about that!” Amos said in a hurry.
Eudora was stunned, “Did I go missing before?”
Harley immediately laughed and said, “Eudora, you really love to joke. Amos holds you in his heart like a treasure. How could he ever lose you? Perhaps he is too imaginative. When he saw that someone else had lost his wife, he must have thought about himself and got nervous.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Amos rolled his eyes at Harley. “No one would complain if you keep shut.”
Harley did not know what to say.
It seemed that doing a good deed was a mistake too.
At this moment, Eudora suddenly said, “Thea is here. I want to talk to her…”
The next second, Eudora was stopped by Amos. “Someone is more anxious than you are. I think that you should let him go first!”
Eudora pursed her lips and looked at Harley’s haggard face. She nodded and said, “Okay, then we’ll leave first!”
Harley wanted to leave too, but Thea called him from behind,
“Hmm? Do I look that scary?”
Harley stopped in his tracks, “I thought that I am the one who looks terrifying!”
Thea seemed to have ignored his sarcasm. Instead, she asked, “What’s wrong? It seems that you are not in a good mood.”
Harley frowned, “What do you think?”
Thea paused slightly, “What did I say?”
“What did you say? Don’t you know why I am like this now?” Harley almost cried out the last sentence. “After so many years, for the first time, you have made me feel like a fool!”
Thea’s face turned pale. “Do… you know everything?”
She was only joking whenever she said that she was going out to find other men, She hoped that Harley would persuade her to stay, or even confess his feelings to her.
However, he had always been silent.
She did not expect herself to cross the line that night. When she got up in the morning, she found herself naked in the hotel room. Then, she remembered the guy in the bar.
She hated herself, so she ran away.
She could not sleep well for the past few days. There were visible dark circles under her eyes. That was why she came with heavy makeup.
However, she did not expect Harley to have discovered her secret.
After all, he was a policeman. If he wanted to investigate her, it would be as easy as a snap of a finger.
“I’m sorry!” Thea blurted out.
Harley was going to combust, her apology seemed like a ruthless mockery to him. Was he nothing to her at all?
In the end, he was fooled by a woman. He had tried to protect her at all costs. He even wanted to marry her and raise children with her, yet she only thought of him as an escort.
The more Harley thought about it, the angrier he became, but he did not want to be looked down upon.
In the end, he sneered and said blandly, “What are you sorry for? We’re just friends.”
