Amos' lips twitched and he looked at the crowd with a faint smile.
Steven couldn't figure out what Amos was thinking about. Although he had lost a lot, it seemed that he had not been weakened at all. He still had his imposing manner.
Steven felt uneasy. He had a nagging feeling that Amos still had other tricks up his sleeve.
Fortunately, he had not been idle for the past few weeks either. He had roped in some people of his own into the company.
Those people started to speak, one after another amid the stalemate.
"President Granger, you are right. Mr. Granger, you have to be responsible for this matter. After all, you are the one who's responsible for this project while you were still in position."
"Yes! You shouldn't leave the mess behind and have us settle it for you, right? It doesn't conform to the rules."
The more they talked, the more excited they became. However, Amos still looked at them with a faint smile on his face.
In the end, Steven pretended to be kind and spoke up.
"Don't say that, everyone. Everyone knows how much Amos had contributed to the company over the years. Although there are some problems with the projects, I believe Amos will handle them, right?"
"So?" Amos finally opened his mouth, "How do you want me to handle them?"
Steven looked as though he was in a dilemma, "Amos, I don't want to make things difficult for you. It's just the company's rules. Those problems with the project are getting bigger now. If you don't handle them well, it will have a great impact on the company. The board of directors has already reached a consensus. I will give you three days to settle this matter, otherwise, you may be suspended forever..."
They had put a lot of effort into their schemes to drive him out of the company.
Amos smiled. When he was about to speak, someone had pushed the door open from the outside.
"Excuse me, Sir. You shouldn't be taking advantage of a situation like this. Even I, a layman, could see through your schemes easily! Aren't you embarrassed?"
Steven was stunned. He saw Eudora standing at the door, perfectly poised and charming.
Eudora dropped by Valiant East often, so everyone knew her. Especially today, since Amos was there, the girl at the front desk let her in right away.
Eudora realized that she had a good relationship with Amos, given the way the company's employees were behaving. However, she couldn't seem to remember it at all.
However, this was not something that could be changed at one snap. In fact, she was very grateful to Amos.
Therefore, when she heard that Steven and the shareholders were openly plotting against Amos as she was eavesdropping at the door, Eudora finally couldn't bear it and finally pushed the door open and went into the conference room.
Steven was stunned by her words. If he had remembered correctly, Felix should have already dealt with Eudora...
Why did she look as though nothing had happened to her? She even looked younger and more energetic.
At this moment, Amos got up and walked toward Eudora.
"Why are you here?"
Eudora pursed her lips at him, "I'm here to protect you! What's wrong? Did you get bullied?"
Amos was stunned. This was not something Eudora would say in the past. Now, it seemed as though she was unafraid of anything!
The shareholders were also dumbfounded. What was happening? Why did she say that Amos was being bullied?
No man would easily admit that he was getting bullied in front of other people, especially a man like Amos.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Amos nodded, "Yes! That seems to be the case."
Eudora snorted. "It's okay. Stand behind me and I'll protect you."
After that, she turned to look at those people and questioned, "You guys said that there are some problems with Amos' projects. Shall I ask you guys a question in return then? Haven't you guys made a mistake before? Have you guys taken responsibility for what you did after making a mistake?"
Eudora's voice was so loud that Clint's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He had never seen her acting so aggressively before!
As soon as he saw the resentment in Amos' eyes, he seemed to come to a realization instantly. "It was nothing, Miss George. Everything that had happened in the conference room was arranged by Mr. Granger in advance. He is truly magnificent."
Eudora raised her eyebrows and responded, "Oh!"
Clint was speechless.
Was that all? Did Eudora not know that Amos was waiting for her to praise him?
Clint was about to say something, but Amos had already grabbed Eudora's hand and said, "Let's go, honey."
Eudora was speechless.
"Amos, you shouldn't address me in that way. We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet!"
Amos snorted, "Who just said that 'no one is allowed to bully my husband' in public just now? Hmm?"
Eudora was speechless.
"That... that was just for show!"
Just for show?
Clint, who was behind them, was shocked and he immediately freaked out. How could she say something like that? Amos loved her so much. He must be pissed off now.
Amos' eyes dimmed.
Amos had changed from a fierce lion to a little puppy with its ears drooped.
Clint was completely taken aback.
In an instant, Eudora felt a sudden pounding in her heart. She despised men who lacked masculinity at the moment, but why did she feel a little distressed when this man in front of her looked like that?
