One Night Stand With That Beggar

Seeing that Amos Granger did not speak, the Old Master then added.

“It’s okay, I’ve known it for a while now. So, I have to plan for when I am gone. I am at ease knowing that Valiant East will be in your hands, but Eudora…”

When he mentioned Eudora, Amos’s body became tense. It was as if he had poked him with daggers, and the old man immediately shut up.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about her. I’ve already made arrangements for the will. I had asked you to come in here for your opinion about Vincent. After all, he is your brother’s son. And your mother…”

The old man realized that he had accidentally spilled the beans, and then he changed his mind, “And Bethany has been with me for half of my life. I am thinking of giving 10% of the shares in Valiant East to Vincent and 5% to Bethany. What do you think?”

Amos Granger shrugged and merely put his hands into his trousers pocket.

“I have no comment,” He really didn’t. He didn’t like money very much, especially now that he had Juju and Eudora. He was envious of people who were able to spend all their time with their wives and children. There were numerous times when he wanted to drop everything so that he could spend time with Eudora and Juju.

The Old Master thought that he was angry, so he explained.

“I have wronged your brother…”

“As you wish!” Amos didn’t hope him still felt guilty. Although he didn’t say it, there was still concern in his eyes.

The old man immediately smiled and said, “Well, that’s good. I hope that you will keep this a secret for now. You know what your uncle will think of it. Bethany is relatively aloof from the world, and I’m afraid that she can’t compete with them. So, I have to hand this matter over to you. When the dust settles in the future, you can talk to them.”

“So, are you just feeding me to the wolves?” Amos frowned.

The old man was stunned, but then he smiled again, “You are my son. You already have a target on your back since the day you took over Valiant East. You cannot run away from it.”

Amos sighed, “If possible, I would rather you be the target yourself.”

His voice was so low that the Old Master could not hear him clearly. When the Old Master asked him to repeat himself, Amos just shook his head.

“Nothing.”

“Ask Uncle Harry and the others to come in. I want to announce this.”

Amos exited the room. Harry Granger and others were already a mess outside. When Harry saw Amos approaching them from the room, he quickly got up and asked, “How is my brother?”

“He wants all of you to go into the room.”

After Amos finished speaking, Harry immediately rushed into the room. Kaylene Yoder and Bethany Hamilton followed suit.

Amos came over and took Juju from Eudora, “Let’s go.”

Eudora looked at Amos with a worried expression, “Are you alright?” Although Amos’s face looked blank, Eudora could sense his cold demeanor.

Amos looked back at Eudora. That was why he said that on this earth, only this woman could fully understand him.

“Don’t worry!”

After that, he took Eudora’s hand and the three of them walked into the Old Master’s room.

The Old Master was already sitting up on the bed, and he looked a little weak. Harry stood the closest to the bed, and right next to him were Kaylene and Steven Granger.

Bethany stood on the other side of the bed, holding Vincent Granger in her arms silently.

Amos had to stand at the end of the bed. Eudora was behind him. Harry looked at the Old Master suspiciously, “Brother, it’s getting late. What do you want to tell us?”

The Old Master nodded. He didn’t say anything until everyone was accounted for.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“It’s my great fortune to be able to live until today.”

Bethany shook her head in a hurry, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“It’s fine!” The old man laughed, “The next time this happens, I am not sure if I will be able to wake up. So, before I leave, I have something that I need to address. Amos has taken over Valiant East for about eight years, right? He has been doing very well. So when I get better, I will go over to the office to sign the papers and hand over my position as chairman of Valiant East Group officially to Amos.”

Upon hearing this, Bethany continued to hold the child in her arms and remained silent. However, Harry looked at Amos with a complicated expression.

“Is there something you would like to say?” the Old Master asked.

Harry shook his head hurriedly and said, “No! I’m just afraid that he would be overworked!”

“He is my son. He should know that sooner or later, he will have to take over Valiant East. I have faith that he will perform his duties well.”

Harry was stunned and he couldn’t seem to find the words to say.

Kaylene was a little unconvinced. When she was about to speak, Steven grabbed her hand and shook his head at her. Then he turned to the Old Master and said, “Old Master, my father is just worried about you.”

The Old Master smiled and said, “Steven, you have grown much. I heard from your father that you have done a good job with the amusement park, haven’t you? I’m relieved. Since this is related to your future, I have something to tell you. Although Valiant East has invested in the amusement park, when I am gone, I’ll leave you guys to run it. There is another house south of the city. It now belongs to you all.”

The Old Master had already made all the necessary arrangements and the house that he had just mentioned was not smaller than the Granger family’s mansion. Moreover, he had handed the entire amusement park to them. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would live a good life in the future.

However, the Old Master had forgotten that the human heart was naturally greedy. He knew that his brother was a little greedy. However, he didn’t know that they wanted more.

Seeing that Harry did not speak, the Old Master then asked, “What’s wrong?”

Harry came to his senses and shook his head, “Nothing! It’s my fault. After all, you still have to worry about me at such a critical moment.”

However, Kaylene was not as tolerant as Harry was, but she didn’t dare to express her dissatisfaction, so she pointed at Bethany.

“Old Master, what about Bethany? Hank died early. What about her?”

Old Master Granger frowned slightly, “Amos will take good care of them for me, so you don’t have to worry about it. Alright, you guys may leave now. I’m tired!”

Since the Old Master had ordered it, Kaylene could not say anything else. Bethany tightened her grip on Vincent and was about to leave. However, the Old Master stopped her and said, “Bethany, could we talk for a bit?”

Bethany handed the child to the servant, “Take him to his room.” Then, she came over, picked up a towel, and dabbed it on the Old Master’s forehead.”

The Old Master took her hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. Why don’t you take a seat?”

Bethany sat down and looked at him, “What’s up?”

The Old Master shook his head, “I suddenly feel sorry for you over the past many years.”

Bethany pursed her lips, “Why are you bringing this up now? I’m fine.”

The Old Master sighed, “Do you remember the time when we got married?”
