novelxo Chapter 200
After a few dozen clicks, Harley immediately sent the photos he had taken to Eudora.
Then, he picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Amos Granger.
"Come on, bottoms up!"
At the same time, Eudora put Juju down to rest after she got home. Then she cooked together dinner with Auntie Valerie as usual.
While she busied herself with the cooking, her cell phone dinged. She picked it up and took a look.
Amos was leaning against the couch, drinking. Harley added a caption along with the photos.
"Look what you've done to him, Eudora! How could you torture him like this?"
A thought came to Eudora's mind, and she hurriedly replied to his message.
Amos went for a drink?
Behind him, Auntie Valerie suddenly said, "It's time for Mr. Granger to take his medicine. Why isn't he back yet?"
"What medicine?" Eudora asked.
"It's a medicine to prevent muscle fatigue!" Auntie Valerie explained, "Mr. Granger has been taking the medicine ever since he injured his leg." Eudora frowned and thought of the photo that Harley sent to her just now. She murmured to herself, "Why did he drink despite being on medication? He even drank so much!"
She pursed her lips and looked at Juju sleeping soundly on the sofa.
"I'll go out and have a look. Auntie Valerie, could you please take care of Juju for me?"
"No problem!" Auntie Valerie was more than happy to take care of Juju. The couple needed to hang out with each other more to make amends to their relationship!
Eudora immediately went to the garage, hopped into a car, and then headed to the place where Amos and Harley were at.
Harley noticed that Eudora did not respond after sending the photos to her. He could not help but sigh.
"Hey, look at you. Eudora doesn't want to talk to you anymore. Forget it, I'll just take you home!"
After that, Harley bent down and helped Amos up.
Amos was really drunk, and it was Harley's first time seeing him like this. He was never the kind of person who did not care about the consequences of his actions. No matter what circumstances he was in, Amos was always very calm and collected.
It was only because of Eudora that he had become like this.
Harley sighed again. He wondered when he would be able to meet a woman who would make him get as drunk as Amos did.
Just as he was still lost in his thoughts, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him. Harley was stunned. Wasn't this the woman he failed to catch when he helped the department on their porn business crackdown?
Because of this woman, he was teased by his colleagues for a long time.
Thinking of this, Harley hurriedly shouted, "Stop right there!"
The woman froze for a moment, then started to run. Harley held Amos and happened to see a waiter coming over. He pushed Amos to the waiter in a haste and said, "Help me take care of him. I'll be right back."
The waiter knew Amos because they were frequent visitors here. Therefore, he moved Amos to a nearby seat.
Seeing that Amos kept muttering that he was thirsty, the waiter went to pour a glass of water for him.
But when he came back with the water, the waiter found that there was another person next to Amos.
Wendy shook Amos' arm and shouted loudly, "Amos... Are you alright?"
The waiter was stunned. "Miss, you are..."
"I'm his fiancee. You don't have to worry about it. Leave him to me."
The waiter vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen her face in the news, so he waved away his suspicions and left her to deal with Amos. After the waiter left, Wendy helped Amos up. "Why are you so drunk? I'll bring you upstairs to rest!" After that, the two went straight upstairs.
Wendy had already booked a room in the hotel upstairs beforehand. After reaching the room, Wendy placed Amos on the bed and flung herself into his arms.
"Amos, do you know how much I love you? Why don't you like me back? I became your fiancee five years ago. It's been five years. Why are you still unwilling to marry me? You told me your legs were broken and you didn't want to get married. I knew that you were lying to me all along. Otherwise, why didn't you care about your legs when you saw Eudora? You don't want me anymore. You just wanted to reject me."
While Wendy was still ranting, Amos, tipsy and in a daze, frowned as he smelled a strong perfume scent. Amid his dizziness, he could tell the woman was not Eudora. Eudora's scent was always very elegant and breezy.
Subconsciously, he pushed Wendy away without a second thought.
Wendy was speechless.
"Amos, are you still not willing to be close to me even when you are drunk?"
Thinking of this, she took out a sachet of pills from her bag. Kaylene told her that it was something that would make a person lose their awareness and rationale.
The effect of the drug was very strong. No matter how strong-willed one was, they would not be able to resist it!
Wendy took a deep breath, turned around, poured a glass of water, and added the pill into it.
She only returned after making sure that it was completely dissolved in the water. She then brought the cup to Amos' lips and coaxed him, "Amos, here. Drink some water."
Drunk people were usually dehydrated. Furthermore, he was in a bad mood, so he lost his usual vigilance.
Amos lay down on the bed after drinking the water. Wendy took a deep breath and stared at Amos, who was lying there quietly. Her heart was hammering, and she could feel herself sweating. She was very excited yet a little nervous. She suddenly thought of Caleb. That person...
Wendy gritted her teeth and in one gulp, she emptied the remaining contents of the glass. She then slowly reached out to unbutton Amos's shirt.
As the drugs slowly took effect, Wendy felt her body gradually getting hot. However, Amos' reaction was much stronger than hers. His skin felt as if it was burning, and even his breathing became heavier. Wendy made up her mind and lay into his arms. The next second, Amos pushed her away. "You're not her. Get off me."
Wendy's heart sank. The "her" that he mentioned...
Needless to say, it must be Eudora.
What was so good about Eudora? Even at this time, drunk and drugged, he could still tell that she was not Eudora? Scoffing, Wendy thought about it and reached out to unbuckle Amos's belt. This time, he did not push her away. He kicked her off the bed. He was merciless, and Wendy was caught off guard as well. She let out a cry of pain as she fell on the ground with a loud thud.
At this time, Eudora's car had arrived at the clubhouse.
She hurriedly went in and found his most frequented suite, but to her astonishment, the waiter told her that Amos had left.
Eudora pursed her lips. Could it be that because she didn't reply to the messages, so Harley sent him back home by himself? That should be the case. Thinking of this, Eudora slowly walked out. However, when she walked past the hall, the waiter stopped her.
"Miss, are you President Granger's friend? He dropped something here just now. Could you please pass it back to him?"
Eudora took a look at the thing in the waiter's hand. It turned out to be Amos' ring. It was a matching ring that came in a pair with the one he gifted her the last time.
"Oh, thank you." Eudora casually added, "Where did you find it?"
"At the couch over there. He must have dropped it when he was talking to the young lady just now. President Granger was drunk. He probably didn't notice that he had dropped it!"
Amos was drunk? And there was a young lady with him? A woman's gut feeling was always right. Eudora's intuition made her feel that there was something was off.
Quickly, she took out her mobile phone and called Harley. He was gasping for breath as he answered the call, "I have something important to attend to right now. We'll talk later." "No wait, listen to me first. Where did Amos go?"
Harley was stunned. "Didn't I ask the waiter to watch over him for me?"
Hearing this, Eudora's heart sank. "He's not here."
