Chapter 383 Facing Oppression
Christopher realized that Amos did not respond to his question, so he continued,
“Amos, say something!”
Amos frowned, “Could you stop walking around?” Although he seemed calm, one could sense the worry in his eyes.
It was not because he was worried for himself, but he was afraid that Eudora and Juju would be worried about him.
If it wasn’t for that Christopher who wanted to confirm that Tina was doing well, they wouldn’t have ended up in the situation they were in now.
At this moment, the door was opened from the outside.
Mr. Hale came in. “You two, the Old Master asked for you.”
Christopher asked hurriedly, “What’s going on?”
Mr. Hale remained silent and turned to them. “Which one of you is Mr. Granger?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Christopher subconsciously glanced at Amos. When Mr. Hale saw Amos’ calm and relaxed look, he could not help but be a bit impressed.
Such an excellent man. It was no wonder Miss George had tried so hard to save him.
“You’ll know when you get there!” Mr. Hale said.
Amos suddenly became a little nervous. Why did this man ask about his name all of a sudden? Did someone he knew got kidnapped?
Didn’t he already say that they should all keep a low profile?
Amos and Christopher then followed Mr. Hale out.
They went to the front hall after passing through the yard. Before they arrived at the front hall, Amos heard a woman crying.
Almost in an instant, his whole body shook.
This voice…
It was Eudora’s!
Like a gust of wind, Amos rushed into the hall before anyone else could react.
He saw Eudora sitting on the ground, crying her eyes out. He immediately felt his heart tightening.
He pulled her into his arms, “Eudora…”
Eudora was still in a daze. She could not believe Amos was right in front of her.
She looked at Amos blankly, seemingly forgotten to wipe away her tears. Although his clothes were a little wrinkled, he still looked fresh and well, just slightly thinner.
On the contrary, her eyes were filled with tears.
Amos immediately thought that Tyler had bullied Eudora. He got up and picked up the dagger on the table. Before anyone could react, he pressed the dagger against Tyler’s neck.
“What the hell did you do to her?”
Tyler was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled.
Eudora said hurriedly, “Amos, don’t. I’m fine. Mr. Holt didn’t do anything to me. I just cried because I missed you so much!”
Amos was skeptical, “Are you telling the truth?”
“Why would I lie to you? I’m telling the truth! Otherwise, why would Mr. Holt let you out?”
Amos thought it was a little far-fetched for Tyler to let him out because of Eudora’s crying. However, Eudora never lied, so he could only put down the dagger suspiciously.
Unexpectedly, the moment he put down the dagger, Tyler suddenly spoke.
“Guards!”
In an instant, Amos and Christopher were surrounded again.
“I only said to let them come out to see you, but I didn’t promise to let them go. I haven’t settled the matter about Tina with you yet!”
Eudora frowned, “Mr. Holt, Tina is your daughter, she will have to get married someday. Do you think that she will be grateful to you if you lock her up like this?”
Tyler snorted, “That’s better than being cheated by filthy men. Little girl, for the sake of your cooking, I’ll give you this piece of advice. Do not be cheated by a man!”
Eudora asked sharply, “Aren’t you a man yourself?”
Tyler didn’t know what to say.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Christopher could not help but laugh. Eudora was still rational enough to argue with the old man even at a moment like this.
Suddenly, Tina’s voice could be heard from outside, “Christopher!”
A servant’s voice bellowed from behind her, “Miss Tina, you mustn’t go there…”
Before she could even finish her sentence, Tina had already run into the front hall.
“Christopher, are you alright?”
Christopher sized her up. “Did you eat well? You’ve lost a lot of weight…”
“I’m fine!” Tina shook her head and turned to Tyler.
“Dad, please let us go, okay? Christopher isn’t the kind of person that you think he is. He’s a nice guy!”
Tyler’s expression darkened. He became even more furious now that Tina came out.
“Are you all dead? Who asked you to let her in? Hurry up and take her away!”
The bodyguards rushed forward and pulled her, but Tina refused to leave.
In the end, Tyler said harshly, “You guys, take Christopher away and don’t let him eat! I’d like to see how great your love is!”
Tina was afraid. She stopped resisting.
“Dad, I beg of you. I won’t go with him. I’ll stay at home with you. Will you let him go, please?”
Tyler snorted, “It’s too late! And the two of them, Amos, right? I know that you have a great influence in Rosaville City, but this is my territory. You can’t act as you wish here! Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving without some sacrifices! Cut Amos’ finger off! This is a warning from me. You should be careful about the way you handle things in the future!”
A chill went down Eudora’s spine, “Don’t!”
“That’s not for you to decide!”
Tyler was well prepared this time. The security in the manor had been upgraded. All of them were carrying guns. He could kill all of them if he wanted to.
Amos looked at Eudora hurriedly and said, “Don’t move. I’ll be fine!”
Tyler snorted and said, “Take them away!”
Eudora gritted her teeth and glared at Tyler. “You bad old man, if I knew your true color, I should have poisoned your food and poisoned you to death!”
Tyler was extremely angry, “Wicked girl, just poison me if you can. Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill your Amos!”
At this moment, a sudden bang rang from outside.
Eudora was stunned and a bodyguard ran into the front hall to report.
“Old Master, there’s a problem. A lot of people are breaking into the manor!”
Tyler was stunned, “You useless things! Bring me my gun!”
After that, he got up and quickly walked out. Eudora, Christopher, and the others took the opportunity to break free from the crowd and sneaked out.
Fortunately, with the friendship that Eudora had built with Mr. Hale and the servants here over the past few days, they were able to take this chance to cause havoc and get out.
It was already a mess outside. Eudora saw Clint, Wesley, and the rest assaulting the mansion with their weapons.
They must have taken this extreme measure since they couldn’t get any updates from Eudora after she had entered the mansion for a few days.
