One Night Stand With That Beggar

It turned out that he knew that it was her!

Eudora frowned and said without thinking, “I didn’t do it for you. I did it for Juju. Her condition still isn’t very stable, and she won’t be able to accept it if she lost you!”

Amos was not annoyed when he heard that.

He lowered his head to study her stubborn face. After a long pause, he reached out and stroked her head before saying, “It’s my pleasure.”

Eudora was speechless.

He then left before she could react.

Amos acted as if he was heading out for work to support his wife and children.

Eudora was deep in her thoughts when Juju fell asleep again in her arms. Juju’s head was tilted in an awkward angle, hence Eudora carried her back to their room hurriedly. They both then slept soundly on the bed, with Juju in Eudora’s arms.

…

Meanwhile, Amos told the driver as he headed out.

“Let’s head to Miss Liam’s apartment before we go to the company.”

The driver was slightly taken aback. After all, Amos had never been to Wendy’s apartment all these years. However, the driver did as he was told.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of Wendy’s apartment.

Aunt Agnes was extremely happy to see him. She immediately greeted, “Mr. Granger, you’re here!”

“Where’s Wendy?” Amos asked flatly.

“She’s inside!” Aunt Agnes raised her voice gleefully, “Miss Liam, Mr. Granger is here.”

Wendy gritted her teeth as she lay on the bed.

She was supposed to be with Amos last night, yet, she ended up being tortured by Caleb. She would surely show that jerk who’s boss between them one day.

She was fuming about what happened last night when she heard Aunt Agnes calling out cheerfully. Instantly, Wendy felt a chill down her spine. She got up hurriedly and observed herself in the mirror. She made sure she looked fine before heading out.

“Amos, you’re here!” Wendy said sadly, “I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore!”

Amos was quiet as he sat on the couch.

“Where were you last night?” Amos questioned her.

Wendy was stunned and stuttered, “I… I didn’t go anywhere!”

“Really?” Amos’ tone was indifferent but there was a hint of ice in his voice.

Wendy shivered and started sobbing without warning. “Amos, you already know, don’t you? I went to the bar to look for you last night and you were so drunk then. I helped you to the room so that you could rest. But, you suddenly lost your mind and ripped my clothes off hysterically. You were going to…”

Wendy’s face was full of horror as she continued, “I couldn’t wake you up, so I ran out. I saw Harley when I wanted to return to check on you. I knew you would be safe with him, so I went home! Amos, I wanted to save you, but I was just a little scared. I won’t do it again!”

Amos pursed his thin lips and asked, “Is that true?”

“Of course.” Wendy replied and went up to try and hold Amos’ hand.

“Are you okay? What happened last night?”

“Don’t touch me!” Amos unexpectedly raised his voice at her, “I was just drunk, not dead. Do you really think that I’m oblivious to what you have done? How dare you drug me? Wendy Liam! You’re playing with fire!”

It was only then Wendy realized that Amos knew about everything.

He did not come here to ask her about the truth but rather to punish her.

Her hands trembled. Wendy collapsed to the floor and tried to explain desperately, “let me explain. I only did it because I loved you too much! You refused to accept me five years ago, I…”

“Enough!” Amos gritted his teeth and said, “There’s nothing more to say. I will hold a press conference as soon as possible to announce that we’re putting an end to our engagement.”

“Amos Granger!” Wendy began shrieking again, “You’re calling off the engagement because of this? I knew all along that you wanted to call the engagement off since a long time ago. You should ask yourself, have you ever thought about marrying me over the past five years? If I had known this earlier, I shouldn’t have saved you in M Country. I had done so much for you and is this how you’re going to repay me?”

Amos stopped dead and he suddenly recalled the little girl from long ago.

How could a beautiful little girl grow up to be this woman?

After a short pause, he said, “You should be glad that you had saved me before. Otherwise, it would have been as simple as breaking our engagement off. I might even throw you into jail!”

After that, he turned and left without waiting for Wendy’s reply.

Wendy’s mind went blank until she recalled what Amos had just said. Was he that heartless that he would bear to send her to the prison?

…

After Amos returned to Valiant East, he immediately called for Clint, “Ask a lawyer to draft an agreement to terminate my engagement with Wendy.”

Clint was taken aback and asked, “Calling off your engagement?”

Clint knew for the longest time that Amos wanted to end the engagement but now that Amos was finally doing it, Clint was inexplicably delighted!

“Is there a problem?” Amos asked.

“No!” Clint replied hurriedly, “I’ll get it done right away.”

As soon as his words fell, someone opened the door and said, “No, you’re not going to do that!”

Clint paused and turned to meet Old Master Granger’s stern eyes. He immediately called out, “President!”

“Get out!” Old Master Granger said before gesturing to his assistant. Moments later, there were only Amos and his father in the room.

Both of them were in their wheelchairs. The father and son stared at each other, as if they were competing to see who looked better in a wheelchair.

Old Master Granger was the first to give way. He parted his lips to speak.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“You’re not allowed to end your engagement with Wendy.”

“Why not?” Amos asked.

“Tell me then, why did you wait for five years before calling the engagement off?”

“She drugged me!” Amos immediately blurted out. He did not intend to conceal this fact from his father.

The Old Master’s face was flushed. He never expected Wendy to do such a thing. He initially thought that he just needed to stay out of it and give Amos some time to sort it all out, yet now…

Suddenly, he recalled the rumors that he heard previously about Amos bringing a child to work.

He had seen the child and she looked exactly like Eudora. This alarmed him and he realized that Eudora was back.

If this had been back then, he did not have to worry about Eudora overstepping her boundaries even if she was a difficult woman to deal with. After all, he was still a well and healthy man five years ago. As long as he was around, he would definitely be able to deal with Eudora.

However, everything was different now. He only had one more year to live. He knew what kind of person his son was, and that he would be more than willing to do anything for that woman. It was hard for the Old Master to imagine what would become of Valiant East in his son’s hands.

Old Master Granger could not accept it.

As he thought about this, he added, “She’s your fiancee. It’s been five years but you still refuse to marry her. It’s your fault to have forced her into doing this.”

Amos sneered, “You have a weird way of thinking. I know what you’re worried about but I’m telling you clearly now that I will handle my own problems. Five years ago, I lost something precious. Now, I’m not going to lose it again. I’m going to kill anyone that stands in my way.”

Old Master Granger was so furious that he leaned back and scolded, “Are… are you saying that you would kill me if I stand in your way? I am your father, you b*stard!”
