Chapter 377 Women Are Troublesome
Eudora became even more worried.
Charlie had been working for Amos for many years. Eudora had heard from Auntie Valerie that he had no parents, and he had been with Amos ever since they started their journey in Country M.
Who else in the world could make him so panic except for Amos?
However, Eudora knew that he would not tell her anything even if she asked him.
Therefore, she agreed.
“I’ve already said before that I’ll be fine with Juju alone. Please go ahead if you have urgent matters to attend to!”
After that, Charlie went to pack up his stuff. Eudora immediately called the airport to check on his flight ticket. She realized that he had booked a ticket to Greene City.
Not only Charlie, but also Clint tagged along.
Eudora’s heart sank as she realized that something must have happened to Amos.
Instantly, her heart was in a mess. She forced herself to calm down. At times like this, no matter what, they had to solve Amos’ problems first.
Eudora looked for Auntie Valerie and asked her to take Juju home. She would not let Juju go to school for the time being because most of Amos’ people had most likely gone to Greene City now that something bad had happened to Amos. It was not safe anymore in Rosaville City.
Auntie Valerie understood how critical the situation was and immediately began to pack up.
After that, Eudora booked a flight too. She picked the same flight as Charlie and Clint, however, her seat was at the far back.
After more than an hour, the plane finally landed at the Greene City Airport.
Eudora got off the plane after Charlie and Clint, and then followed them to Greene City District.
On the way, Eudora could roughly figure out the ins and outs of the situation.
A few days ago, she had asked Amos to help Christopher. Something must have gone wrong when he was dealing with the Holt family. Could it be that even Amos could not take care of the Holt family?
The more Eudora thought about it, the more anxious she became. On the way, she asked the driver about the Holt family.
The taxi driver’s words were very vague, probably because the Holt family had a great influence in Greene City. He also secretly said that the head of the Holt family used to be a gangster.
The more Eudora listened, the more nervous she became.
The car in front did not go directly to the Holt family’s house but stopped at a house nearby.
Eudora also got out of the car and made her way upstairs.
Amos didn’t come alone this time. He brought some men with him.
They were talking about the situation when Eudora arrived.
“President Granger arranged a meeting to negotiate with Tyler Holt about the Gellert family’s matter after arriving at Greene City. At first, Tyler refused firmly. But later on, he agreed for some reason. But he requested that President Granger could only go in alone and no one else could follow him. Now, President Granger has gone in there for more than 24 hours, yet there are no updates from him. We threatened to break into the place, but they said that if we were to do that, they might not let go of President Granger.”
Clint frowned, “Are they threatening us?”
“I’ll take some men with me to kidnap Tyler! Let’s show them who’s the boss here!”
Upon hearing this, the rest responded immediately, “Okay, let’s go!”
“Don’t be impulsive!” Clint said, “Tyler probably has more bodyguards than Mr. Granger. We shouldn’t mess around like this. It will only harm Mr. Granger. We’d better think of another way.”
Only then was Eudora relieved. It really was not the time to act impulsively.
Soon, Clint spoke again.
“I’ll try to meet Tyler and see what he has to say.”
Clint then immediately gave the Holt family a call. When Tyler’s assistant answered the call, he only spat these few words.
“We’ve invited Mr. Granger as our guest here. Don’t worry.”
Clint wanted to say something, but the phone was already hung up.
It seemed that it would be difficult for them to enter the Holt family’s mansion. Eudora frowned. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
She hurriedly picked it up. The people inside heard the ringtone and came out.
Charlie was stunned when he saw Eudora. He immediately realized that he was being followed.
“Miss George, you…”
Eudora frowned, “Enough. I’ve already heard everything.”
Clint still wanted to deny it, “No, you don’t understand. Mr. Granger is not in danger. Although Tyler has a bad reputation, he has become a good man after all. He won’t do anything to Mr. Granger!”
“Why are you so nervous then?” Eudora said sharply.
Clint was speechless.
Behind him, a secret guard who had been working for Amos could not help muttering, “If it weren’t for you, Mr. Granger would not have…”
“Wesley, shut up!” Charlie roared, “Is Miss George someone you could simply accuse?”
“I am telling the truth. The only reason she asked President Granger for his help is that she knew that he would do his best for her…”
“Enough!” Clint’s voice could be heard, “Go outside and calm down.”
The man was still not convinced. He turned around and left.
After he left, Clint said, “We are all vulgar people, our words might be a bit rude. Please don’t take it to your heart!”
Eudora shook her head, “It’s my fault. Had I known about the situation clearly, I would never have asked Amos for help.”
Clint tried to divert the topic, “Don’t say that. Even if you didn’t ask, Mr. Granger would still help!”
Deep down, Eudora knew the truth, so she did not refute.
“There’s no use to blame anyone now. The most important thing to do now is to rescue Amos. Let’s brainstorm another way to go about this. I’ll try to call Tina.”
Fortunately, Eudora still had a clear mind. Everyone seemed to return to their main goal and hurriedly went off to do their things.
After they left, Eudora called Tina. However, ever since she was brought back, her mobile phone had been switched off.
After trying to call her a few times, Eudora gave up in the end.
Eudora walked to the window and looked at the Holt Manor across her.
Tyler was indeed a bigshot. The Holt Manor looked much more magnificent than the Granger family’s old mansion in Rosaville City. With 360 degrees of security system, even a fly couldn’t get in easily.
At this moment, someone pushed open the door behind her.
Wesley came in with a tray in his hand. He still looked visibly unhappy, “Miss George, have some food.”
Among Amos’ secret guards, Eudora only knew Charlie. It seemed that this guy called Wesley was probably one of his internal guards. Although he seemed to blame her, he still showed her his concern.
“Thank you,” Eudora said hurriedly.
“Don’t thank me. I’m not Charlie. I won’t be nice to you just because of your friendly words! Besides, I said before that women are trouble. President Granger should not have waited for your return five years ago.”
Eudora was stunned, “What five years ago?”
Wesley pursed his lips and realized that he had slipped his tongue. He immediately shook his head and said, “It’s nothing!”
“If you don’t tell me, I could still ask others about it. Since you don’t like me, why don’t you tell me all about it then?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Wesley finally said, “Fine, I will tell you. It’s not a shameful thing anyway. Five years ago, you left because you quarreled with President Granger. In order to wait for you, President Granger got himself into a car accident and he almost lost his life. That car accident also injured his leg. Although he has already recovered from it, we all know that there is a repercussion. Otherwise, we would not be so worried when he went to Holt’s family alone.”
