SWNOVELS Chapter 22
Eudora George looked at the man coldly. Franco Horace was kneeling desperately below her, asking for her forgiveness. When she recalled the events yesterday, Eudora shivered in fear. Amos Granger pulled Eudora into his arms to assure her that it was alright. He whispered to her ear, "Do you want to forgive him?"
Eudora shook her head. "I won't forgive him!"
In the past, Eudora had always believed that one shouldn't be act harshly to another person. In fact, most of the time, she would rather be a good person than to inflict hurt on someone else. But in the end, what did she get?
There was never a moment where Eudora wished ill on others.
"Mr. Granger..." Eudora clenched her teeth. "If I don't forgive him, what will happen to him?"
Amos smiled and pointed at the man standing behind Franco. He looked like he was enjoying this whole scene too. "Officer Louis is here. The law will not spare him! Imprisonment is probably too small a punishment for him. If they knew what kind of dirty, under-handed transactions had gone through his company, his punishment would be way more severe!"
"Mr. Granger, please don't." Franco pleaded. He trembled in fear and turned to Eudora. "Miss George, please have mercy on me..."
He asked her to have mercy on him now. Did he even think of sparing her during the incident yesterday?
Eudora didn't even bother to look at Franco and said coldly, "Then I'm afraid I have to trouble Officer Louis. Please handle this matter according to the law!" "Miss George!" Franco cried out in desperation. "It's not my fault alone. If Felix Meyer hadn't tied you up and send you to me, I wouldn't even have the chance."
Eudora clenched her teeth. "Felix Meyer. Of course, I'm not going to let him off that easily too."
Amos noticed that Eudora's mood was turning sour and waved at Harley Louis, "Bring him out!"
Harley glanced at Eudora with great interest. "Say, are you the woman who dishonored Amos on that night he was injured?"
Dishonor?
The night she first met Amos, he was indeed injured.
Eudora's cheeks suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say. Amos frowned. "Harley Louis!"
"I'm just leaving!" Harley waved at Eudora cheekily. "See you later."
After the two men left, Eudora realised that Amos had been holding on to her this whole time. She moved away subconsciously, but Amos' arms tightened around her shoulders. "What's wrong? Are you regretting your decision now?"
"No," Eudora whispered, "You hugged me a little too tightly and I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to change positions."
She hadn't even finished talking, the man suddenly flipped her and pressed her down on the bed. "This position?"
There was a glint of a happiness in the man's dark eyes. Eudora couldn't help but stare at his features. The man's face was really God-given.
Eudora's mind went blank. She knew that she couldn't take back her words anymore now that she agreed to his deal. She obediently closed her eyes and waited for the man's next move.
After what felt like an eternity, Eudora felt warm lips pressing softly against her forehead.
Eudora shivered at the kiss, but the next second, the man had already flipped to the other side of the bed and pulled her in for a hug.
Eudora stunned. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Amos replied.
Eudora frowned. "Are you... not feeling well? Do you want me to massage your head?"
"Why did you ask that?" Amos turned around and pressed his head against her forehead.
"Um..." Eudora paused. "I thought I needed to prove that I'm worthy to be your woman."
Amos chuckled at the woman's random comment. When he saw her puzzled and embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but feel that she was quite adorable in her own way.
"Not now. We can wait till you get better, we have plenty of opportunities then."
"Oh!" Eudora nodded. Quickly enough she realised what he meant and her face immediately turned red.
Fortunately for her, he wasn't able to see her expression as he held her tightly in his arms.
She closed her eyes again and slept through the night.
Eudora stayed in the hospital for three nights. In the morning of the fourth day, Eudora helped Amos put on his clothes before he left for work. She stammered, "I... I think I can be discharged today." "I see!" Amos nodded. He turned around and planted a kiss on her forehead. "See you tonight."
After Amos left, Eudora slowly got up and changed her clothes too. As she was thinking of ways to broach the topic with her husband, Anya Astor walked into the room, her heels clicking on the tiles. "Miss George, Mr. Granger had asked me to accompany you to the Phantom Group. This is the divorce agreement and these are the clothes that Mr. Granger had personally selected for you." Eudora was surprised. "So he's already arranged everything." She thought that he had already forgotten.
Anya didn't hear her clearly and asked subconsciously, "Sorry?"
"Nothing!" Eudora stretched out her hand to receive the document in Anya's hands.
In the Phantom Group.
Kesha George and Felix Meyer were inseparable. After sending Eudora away three days ago, they spent time together and couldn't be separated ever since.
They fell in love with each other, and wherever one goes, the other would follow. Even when they were in the office, the two of them were always together.
Kesha was sitting on Felix's lap with her arms around his neck. "Brother-in-law, my sister hasn't come back after such a long time. Could she have run away with President Florace?"
"Flow is that possible?" Felix chuckled. "President Florace just wants to have fun with women like your sister. When he gets tired of her, he will then send her back. Come to think of it, he has been quiet since that day. Fie hasn't contacted me about the investments either."
Felix made a phone call to Franco, but no one answered.
Felix frowned. Kesha reached out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows. "Maybe he's in a meeting."
Felix kissed Kesha's hand. Fie then dialed for Franco's company, but no one picked up either.
"That's strange."
A wave of uneasiness slowly spread in Felix's heart. FHis assistant suddenly pushed his office door open and entered. "President Meyer, Manager George is back."
Felix Meyer shivered and stood up from his seat. Kesha, who was sitting on his lap, fell to the ground at the sudden movement.
"Brother-in-law..."
But Felix was not in the mood to pay attention to her. Fie narrowed his eyes when Eudora entered the room with an unknown lady.
Felix could tell at a glance that the clothes Eudora was wearing were from custom-made brands that cost a fortune. She even had light makeup on. Eudora was carrying a different aura. Felix had never seen her in this state before.
Felix frowned. It was impossible. Fie knew what kind of perverted man Franco was. Flow could Eudora still be so high-spirited after being sent to that mad man?
Eudora walked towards Felix without hesitation.
"President Meyer, why do you seem a little unhappy to see me?"
Felix snapped back to his senses and composed himself. "What do you mean? Where have you been these days? I've been looking for you."
"Really?" Eudora looked coldly at Kesha, who was sitting on the ground with her messy clothes. "I thought you were so happy that you forgot all about me!"
Kesha was shocked and subconsciously turned away to avoid her sister's gaze. Fiowever, when she thought of how Felix happily gave her sister away to Franco, she regained her confidence.
