After the fall of the George family, Gordon had nothing left to his name except for the house they were living in.
Eudora did not expect that he would give the cheque to her. She had always thought that he viewed her as a burden.
It turned out that he still cared about her.
All of a sudden, Kesha rushed into the room and screamed, "Dad, where did you get this cheque from?"
Stunned, Gordon glanced at Kesha unhappily and asked, "Who asked you to come in?"
"You are giving her our money. If I didn't come in, we'll have nothing left for us!"
Felicia Maurice followed her in with a disappointed look on her face. "Gordon, didn't you say that we don't have any money at home?"
Gordon was displeased. "What are you two doing here? Eudora's mother left the money for her. It's not your money."
Eudora looked at the cheque in a daze. Just as Kesha was about to grab it, she pulled it away.
Even if it wasn't left by her mother, the money belonged to the George family. She didn't want Kesha to squander the money away.
Kesha's face turned livid with anger. "Eudora George, weren't you full of pride? What's wrong? Are you willing to take the money from the George family now?"
Eudora sneered. "Didn't you hear what Dad said? My mother left this for me. If you want it, you should get it from your mother. Your mother is standing right there."
Felicia did not work ever since she married Gordon. She was not from a wealthy family, how could she have money or savings?
When Felicia heard Eudora's words, her face turned pale.
"I... Gordon, it's all my fault..."
Eudora was tired of her tricks. "Aunt Felicia, you're too old to pretend to be pitiful. It's time for you to use some new tricks, don't you think?"
Felicia's face darkened. Kesha stood in front of her mother and was about to fight Eudora. Gordon suddenly shouted, "Enough! Kesha, can't you understand what I said? That money is indeed left by Eudora's mother. Don't be unreasonable."
"Dad!" Kesha was angry. "We don't have any money at home. I don't believe it."
Gordon was so angry that his face turned livid. "You're already an adult. Do you expect your family to raise you for the rest of your life? When your sister was at your age, she was already earning her own keep!"
Seeing that Gordon was really furious, Felicia hurried forward and said, "Gordon, it's my fault. Don't be angry. Eudora, I apologize to you..."
Eudora didn't want to entertain those shameless people anymore. She looked at Gordon and said, "I will make sure I live a good life."
After that, she turned and left.
Even if the cheque was not left by her mother, Gordon had given it to her as her father. She would keep it and use it wisely.
Everpeace Group.
When Christopher entered the door in the morning, he saw Eudora teaching a new designer patiently. The designer was still a newcomer, so he didn't know a lot of things.
Eudora didn't mind the trouble even though she was teaching him over and over again.
Christopher stood behind her for a long time, but she did not notice him.
She got up from her seat when the new designer finally understood the work. When she turned back and saw Christopher behind her, she was startled.
"Why are you here?"
The young designer hurriedly acknowledged, "President Gellert." then he scurried away.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to produce new talents? Even if you are, you should at least find someone who has better comprehension skills!" Christopher said.
Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs, making her jump. It must be Amos.
Sure enough, the next second, Amos had already pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that she was still awake, he slowly stepped forward to kiss her on the forehead.
"Why aren't you asleep?"
Eudora said blandly, "I was about to."
However, Amos seemed to have suddenly thought of something and went over to hug her. "Give me a moment. I have something for you."
"What?" Eudora was suspicious.
The next second, he placed a document in front of her. "You'll know once you look at it."
Eudora took a look at the document. She was stunned. "Isn't this an agreement to change the legal representative for Everpeace Group?"
"Yes!" Amos laughed. "I know you love designing. Everpeace Group initially belonged to the George family. I want to give it to you so that you don't have to work too hard in the future."
He seemed to be very happy as he held her waist tightly. "In the future, you could design whatever you want to. If you don't want to, I will find someone to run the company for you. It's okay if you want to keep Christopher Gellert in the company. He is a capable man."
Eudora's heart was full of mixed feelings. After a long while, she said, "Are you always this generous to women?"
Amos paused and said, "No, I'm only generous to you. Wendy is an exception. She saved me."
Eudora smiled bitterly and pushed the agreement away. "I don't want it."
Amos frowned. "Why?"
"Everpeace once belonged to my family, but now that you've bought it, it's yours. Even if I want it, I will buy it through my own efforts. I can't afford to accept your gift."
