Amos' behavior this time was abnormal.
Clint had thought that Amos would be heartbroken when he heard the news about Miss George marrying someone else. He expected him to be the type who would give up in life or probably advise Miss George to reconsider her decision.
However, he didn't!
He didn't do any of them.
When he heard of the news for the first time, he only gave Clint instructions to ensure that Charlie wasn't aware of the news before going back to work.
Clint thought that Amos had finally let go of her. However, he grew terrified when he found that Amos had ended up working for thirty-six hours non-stop after that.
At this moment, Clint stood outside the door with a sour face as he held a tray of food.
"President Granger, you haven't eaten anything for three days. If you don't eat anything, even your body of steel won't be able to bear it!"
Amos ignored him and instructed, "Where's the project that you mentioned yesterday? Bring it over!"
Clint shook his head. "I won't bring it over unless you have something to eat first, President Granger!"
He had no choice but to do this. However, he did not expect that Amos would stand up and tell him, "I'll get it myself."
"President Granger!" Clint had no choice but to put down the tray of food. "I'll bring it to you!"
Clint was still feeling anxious after leaving the office. He recalled a similar situation that happened a year ago when Miss George came back from overseas, and when she told Amos that she was already married.
At that time, he had also locked himself up in his room for the entire night. In the end, it was only because of Mr. Louis that he was able to resolve the matter!
Oh right! Mr. Louis!
Clint quickly dialed Harley's number as though he had found a savior.
"Mr. Louis, please save me!"
Harley sighed and said, "You don't have to explain. Is Amos out of his mind again?"
"How did you know?" Clint was about to cry. This must be the brotherhood!
Harley laughed in a low voice. "Why wouldn't I? I knew that this would happen when I saw the news. However, I didn't expect you to survive for three days, which is already pretty good."
The corner of Clint's mouth twitched. "Actually, President Granger hasn't eaten for three days!"
Harley fell speechless.
"That means that he's solid. I think that he should be able to take it. Don't worry, I'll go and have a look after I'm done with my work!"
Clint was at a loss for words and he wondered why didn't Mr. Louis sound worried at all.
Meanwhile, at Harley's home.
After hanging up the phone, Thea came out with her big belly. "Did something happen to Mr. Granger?"
"Yes!" Harley nodded. "I've got to go over and have a look. If you need me, call me immediately, okay?"
"Okay!" Thea nodded. She tiptoed and planted a kiss on Harley's forehead.
"Remember to tell me everything."
Harley left shortly after and went straight to
Amos's office.
Once he arrived, Harley kicked open Amos's door and strode in before Clint could say anything.
Clint covered his face and thought to himself, "It's over. There would be a bloody storm soon."
Harley picked up the files on the table and threw them onto the floor.
"It seems that I don't have a choice but to play along!"
With a loud crash, a fierce argument sparked between the two in the office. Harley gnashed his teeth in anger and looked at Amos in disappointment.
"Amos, I've misjudged you. How could you become like this just because of a woman? You're so disappointing!"
"Get lost!" came Amos' reply.
"Fine! Do you think I enjoy seeing you behaving like this? From now on, we shall no longer regard each other as brothers!"
After that, another crash came from inside the office. Harley kicked the vase with his feet and stormed out angrily.
Clint went forward hurriedly to calm him down. "Mr. Louis, why..."
Harley sneered and glanced at the people outside, who were all trying to get a good look at the commotion. "Why don't you ask him yourself? I've never seen such a useless man before. I was wrong about him. In the future, whether Valiant East rises or falls, it has nothing to do with me! You don't have to look for me in the future. I couldn't be bothered about him anymore!"
He then pushed Clint away and left.
Clint frowned and thought to himself, "This is bad. How did things turn out like this?"
In less than a day, news about the marriage between Eudora and Fabian, Eudora's ex-husband facing depression, and the end of brotherhood all became trending topics in Greene City.
Taking advantage of the gossip about Fabian's marriage, the media blindly exaggerated Amos' miserable situation.
Fabian took the newspaper from Bache's hands and snickered.
"I didn't expect a man like Amos to end up like this! Get the media to hype our wedding up even more!"
Fabian was relieved, knowing that Amos was so depressed that he couldn't even eat anything at the moment.
