Chapter 206
Eudora nodded and handed the mobile phone back to Amos.
"Thank you!"
Amos said hurriedly upon realizing that she was leaving with Christopher, "Anya was looking for you just now. She said that she had something to tell you."
"Oh, I'll look for her now."
After that, she excused herself from Christopher and went inside alone.
Christopher turned around and snorted before heading over to his acquaintances.
Anya Astor had made an effort to dress up today. However, when she saw Eudora, she could not help but chided her, "Didn't I tell you to dress up today? Why do you look so plain? Anyway, you still look better than Wendy. Look at her, she is wearing a bright red dress today. Is she trying to look like a peacock?"
Eudora followed Anya's gaze and saw Wendy, who was already surrounded by a group of people.
Anya may be exaggerating, but she was not wrong. Wendy really did doll herself up today. Furthermore, she was Amos' fiancee, naturally, she would be the center of attention among the elites. While they were still staring at Wendy, they noticed Amos walking over from the side. Wendy immediately went to catch up with him. It seemed as though she had something to say to him.
Anya tried to block Eudora's line of sight in a hurry but it was too late.
"Miss George, it must be a misunderstanding..."
"It's okay!" Eudora smiled and said, "They are engaged, so there's no need to explain."
Anya heaved a sigh. She knew that nothing good would happen whenever Wendy was around.
Amos seemed to be a little busy and he left instantly after speaking a few words. Eudora then saw Wendy going up to the rooftop. She followed after her slowly. Wendy was panting heavily on the rooftop.
Amos was determined to break up with her, so she had deliberately dressed herself up a little better today, hoping that Amos would change his mind.
However, who knew that Amos would refuse to cast a glance at her even when she had stooped so low!
She could not help but stomp her feet when she thought about this.
Eudora slowly approached Wendy. When the wind blew, Eudora had a whiff of the familiar fragrance.
It could not be just a coincidence, could it?
At the very least, Wendy was the only one among the people she knew that wore this perfume.
Wendy turned around hurriedly when she heard the footsteps behind her. She saw Eudora's unfriendly gaze and shivered before quickly taking a step back.
"What are you doing?"
Eudora sneered, "What do you think?"
Wendy gritted her teeth, "Stop trying to scare me!"
"Am I scaring you?" Eudora pretended to not understand and said, "I don't understand what you're trying to insinuate. I just came to the roof to get some fresh air. I'm not kidnapping you to the rooftop, nor am I putting my hands round your neck and threatening your life, so pray tell, how am I scaring you?"
Her words frightened Wendy even more.
Eudora was moving towards Wendy slowly as she spoke.
Wendy was obviously no match for Eudora in terms of strength. Therefore, Wendy could feel nothing but blind terror.
"Don't come over here!"
"What are you talking about, Miss Liam?"
Wendy's back banged into the railing at the far end of the rooftop. She could even feel the coldness of the railing seeping through her body.
Her legs gave way and she fell to the floor.
"Help! Help!"
Wendy started screaming uncontrollably. At that moment, Eudora's lips curled into a smile and she tried to help Wendy up when she heard that someone was coming. "Miss Liam is such a scaredy-cat. She accidentally fell to the floor and she started shouting for help!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"I was so worried when someone started shouting for help! I thought something bad had happened! Miss Liam, you shouldn't come to the rooftop if you're scared."
Wendy nodded with a pale face and she was quickly escorted away by the staff.
As Wendy's back disappeared into the distance, Eudora's face darkened. She did not believe that Juju's kidnapping had nothing to do with Wendy. Ha! Did she think that she was able to fool her? She did not probe deeper into the incident that had happened in the basement five years ago.
However, she would not let Wendy go so easily this time.
Eudora left the rooftop, immersed in her thoughts. As soon as she stepped down the stairs, a large hand appeared from the darkness and grabbed her.
Eudora was surprised. In an instant, she was pushed against the wall.
"Why did you scare Wendy?"
Amos?
Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She was annoyed.
"Why are you so worried about Wendy? Are you afraid that I would hurt her?"
Amos gritted his teeth and replied, "You're the one I'm worried about, you heartless woman. Tell me, what kind of grudge do you have against her?" Eudora frowned, "Why should I tell you? What are you trying to gain from me?"
Amos was at a loss of words. "You fool! I just want to help you."
"I don't believe it!" Eudora retorted. An image of them standing next to each other earlier flashed through her mind. At that moment, they looked like a match made in heaven.
All of a sudden, Amos smirked.
"Why do you sound so jealous? Are you jealous? I can explain it. She came over to me on her own but I ignored her!"
He explained it very quickly but Eudora had already pushed his hand away. She said, "I don't want to know about it. Juju is still waiting for me at home. I'll head back first!" "I'll send someone to pick you up..."
"That's not necessary!" Eudora said as she left hurriedly.
After she disappeared into a distance, Amos called Charlie and said, "Watch over her for me."
"Yes!"
Amos turned to look at Clint after Charlie left. He asked, "Is the Old Master in the lounge? Please ask Jason to come over."
"Yes!"
The Old Master was accompanied by his assistant in the lounge. He had not moved an inch ever since he arrived. After a while, he asked, "Why did that br*t ask you to bring me here? I want to go home!" The assistant quickly went forward to stop him and said, "Old Master, let's wait a little longer!"
"Hmm?" the Old Master looked at his assistant with displeasure and said, "Heh, are you trying to disobey my orders?"
"No..."
At that moment, Amos came into the lounge with Jason.
Old Master Granger's eyes lit up the moment he saw Amos but the excitement disappeared as soon as it came. He said in a low voice, "You little br*t, I thought you wouldn't dare to come!"
Amos was quiet as he turned to look at Jason.
"This is my good friend. I have invited him over to examine you."
The Old Master was shocked. He turned to look at his assistant and said unhappily, "Did you tell him?"
The assistant quickly lowered his head and explained, "Chairman, your health is important!"
"B*stard! Are you disobeying my orders? Get the h*ll away from my sight if you're going to listen to others and not me!"
The assistant was stunned and he parted his lips to speak, "Chairman, I..."
"Get out!" the Old Master was so livid that he picked up an ashtray in the lounge and threw it at the assistant. However, at this moment, Amos took a step forward and shielded the assistant. The ashtray that the Old Master had thrown at the assistant smashed into Amos' arm.
"Hiss..." Amos frowned as he covered his wounded arm with his other hand.
"Are you done? Since my intentions have already been exposed, I might as well just tell you everything. I threatened him to tell me the truth. This has nothing to do with him. As for you, you told me that everything you had done, you did it for our family and Valiant East. Then, aren't you afraid that I will destroy Valiant East once you're dead?"
"You..." the Old Master glared at him and shouted, "B*stard!"
