One Night Stand With That Beggar

When Amos Granger got home, he found Valerie Bertinelli waiting for him.

“Sir, something’s wrong. Miss George is missing!” Valerie cried.

Amos’ eyes darkened. “Missing? What do you mean?”

“Miss George came back after work, and her car stopped outside the door. Just now, someone from management drove the car in, but Miss George had disappeared. The person said that a black Maybach took Miss George away…”

Amos frowned. “I see.”

Black Maybach…

He got in his car, started the engine, and drove off at full speed.

At the Granger Mansion, Amos headed straight to the living room as soon as he parked the car.

When he arrived at the door of the living room, he took a deep breath and slowed down.

The Granger family was waiting for him there.

Old Master Granger sat in the middle. On the left was Old Master Granger’s younger brother, Harry Granger, and Harry’s wife, Kaylene Yoder. The two juniors were nowhere to be seen.

On the right was Old Master Granger’s wife, Bethany Hamilton. “Amos is back. Come on in!” she welcomed.

Amos frowned and looked around, but he did not see the familiar figure.

Old Master Granger spoke before he could.

“Come here!!”

Only then did Amos see that there was a horse-skin whip beside the old man’s hand.

It was in Amos’s family’s rule book. Amos had only seen it before, but he had never experienced it.

“What’s this?” Amos asked.

Old Master Granger remained silent but Harry, who was next to him, could not hold back his anger any longer.

“Amos, you acted rashly on this matter. We know that you like the daughter of the George family, but you don’t have to spend our money to buy a company for her!”

“I see!” Amos frowned and looked at Old Master Granger.

“Don’t you need to verify the matter with me before you punish me?” Amos asked.

Old Master Granger didn’t say a word, and there was no expression on his cold face. Amos sneered, “But it seems that you have made up your mind!”

Amos took off his coat. Then, he walked up to face Old Master Granger.

Beside them, Harry and Kaylene were both eager to see what would happen. Bethany said, ” Amos is the President of Valiant East Group after all. Please calm down.”

“What are you afraid of? He made a mistake and should be punished. All his elders are here!” Old Master Granger said.

A crack rang out.

The whip fell on Amos’ back. He was wearing a white shirt today. At the single strike, a blood stain leaked through the fabric.

Even those who had been watching could not help but move their chairs back.

They had seen the power of this whip.

Amos gnashed his teeth but did not make a sound. Old Master Granger did not stop until he had dealt a dozen lashes. Only then did he throw away the whip.

“Amos, I have always been very satisfied with your abilities. It’s not that you can’t have women, but you must be rational. Your older brother lost his life early because of this.”

Amos moved as if his back wasn’t a bloody mess.

“I am not my brother!” Amos declared.

“That won’t work! There’s no need to say anything. Move back and call Dr. Bertinelli…”

Amos frowned. “Where is she?”

“Bastard!” Old Master Granger gritted his teeth. “I’ve already dealt with that woman. Don’t mention her again in the future. Your Second Uncle said that the only daughter of the Liam Family in Rosaville City has returned from abroad. I’ll arrange for you to meet as soon as possible.”

Amos smirked and sneered.

“Okay! I’ll resign then.” Amos said.

“You!!!” Old Master Granger’s face turned livid with rage. “You just have to oppose me, don’t you?”

“No, it’s just that I’m injured. I’m afraid that I can’t do well in the company. Didn’t Second Uncle always wanted Steven to step up? Let him take over the company!”

Harry’s face was full of excitement, but Old Master Granger was well aware about Steven’s abilities and disagreed.

However, Amos was serious this time. Old Master Granger had no choice but to compromise. “Get back here!”

Amos stopped and turned to face the crowd.

“Bring her out!” Old Master Granger ordered.

The servant opened the door and invited Eudora out. She had been locked up next door.

As soon as Eudora walked out, she looked at Amos. When she saw that his back was full of bloodstains, her eyes turned red.

She had seen many versions of Amos, but at this moment, she felt as if she had witnessed a whole new side of him.

“Did you hear that? Are you happy to know that you were the one who caused strife within the Granger family now?” Old Master Granger snarled at Eudora.

Eudora pursed her lips and said, “I think, you all misunderstood. In fact, Mr. Granger and I are not as close as you think. I made a deal with him, and we will be separated after a year!”

Hearing this, Old Master Granger was stunned. He looked back and forth at the two people for a while, as if he was judging the authenticity of this sentence.

“Are you serious?” Old Master Granger asked.

“Of course!” Eudora smiled bitterly. “If you don’t believe me, you can check it out yourself. I asked Mr. Granger’s help in divorcing my ex-husband. He helped me just now because he promised me that he would protect me for a year. I won’t marry him, nor will I become an obstacle to the Granger family.”

After that, Eudora looked at Amos and said, “He is a man of his word.”

Amos frowned and thought. “This woman…”

“Is that so, Amos?” Old Master Granger asked.

Amos did not reply. He turned around and strode out of the door. Eudora was about to go after him, but she turned around and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can go and check.”

Then she left.

After Amos left, Harry looked at the old man in disappointment. “Brother, do you really believe that? You saw Amos’ persistence just now!”

“Shut up!” the old man snapped. “Amos is my son. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. If Steven really wants to join the company, you can ask him to do it by himself, and don’t play this kind of tricks at home again.”

Harry was very unwilling to give up, but he still deferred to Old Master Granger’s prestige. “I got it.”

On the stairs behind them, Samantha Cooper, who had been watching everything, gritted her teeth and retreated.

…..

Amos hurried away from his family home.

Eudora followed closely behind.  Amos suddenly stopped, causing Eudora to run into his back.

Eudora’s heart sank. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Let’s go home quickly. I’ll clean your wound for you.”

“No need!” Amos said in a deep voice. “You can go now.”

Eudora was taken aback, Amos said, “You don’t have to wait for a year. You can leave now.”

“I won’t leave!” Eudora was on the verge of tears. “I know that you asked me to leave just because you want to protect me. But, don’t worry. I have made it clear just now that we have a year…”

“I said you don’t have to!” Amos suddenly became irascible, which startled Eudora.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Then, before she could react, Amos had already started the car and sped away.
