After returning to the hotel, the people who had gone out were also back.
The secretary, Amber quickly came up to her and said, "Miss George, we're going to have a joint company dinner tonight. Would you like to come too?"
The idea sounded good. It just happened that there were many women in her company, and there were many men in Amos'.
It would be quite a happy event.
"Sure!" Eudora's eyes brightened.
She blinked her eyes and added, "Go and ask Mr. Chilton and Mr. Clarke to come as well. Let's have some fun together."
The corner of the Amber's mouth twitched. Leslie and Samuel did usually have a good relationship.
However, after Eudora had quarreled with Samuel yesterday, Samuel had submitted the resignation letter. Mr. Clarke had persuaded him to stay many times. Only then did Samuel finally agree to participate in the team-building event for the very last time.
However, all this while, both of them had not
been bearing good expressions on their faces!
Neither of them had come out this afternoon.
Therefore, Amber was a little bit afraid. However, since her leader had asked for it, she dared not refuse to go, so she braced herself..
As a result, she suffered a cold shoulder from Samuel. In the end, it was Leslie who had solved the problem and he dragged Samuel to attend.
The seats had already been booked. There was a special hall in the hotel that was suitable for an event with crowds.
It was a western cuisine buffet. After Samuel went in, he instantly found a corner and sat down.
Leslie handed him a glass of alcohol, and the two men drank with each other.
Eudora looked over to where they were from the corner of her eye. She was thinking about finding a chance to talk things out with Samuel.
It was just that she had not been too successful so far.
As she was thinking about it, Amos' cell phone rang. After he picked it up, he found a comfortable spot for his wife and children to
settle them down, and only then did he turn around to leave.
Outside, Charlie was clad in a black coat, hiding the darkness.
"I've already arranged everything according to your orders from this afternoon!"
"Alright!" Amos nodded.
Charlie added, "But...do you really not need me to deal with that matter?"
"There's no need!" Amos shook his head. "Since we want him to have a taste of his own medicine, naturally, we need a bait."
After saying so, he looked at the banquet hall through the window.
Charlie followed his gaze and saw Samuel and Leslie sitting there.
"Let's just wait and see!"
In the banquet hall, after Amos came in, Juju came running towards him with a small cake in her hands.
"Dad, this is delicious. It's for you."
Amos opened his mouth and took a bite. "It's delicious! Thank you, Juju."
The secretary held her chin and looked at the family of four. Suddenly, she wanted to get
married. However, no man in this room was better than President Granger.
That was too frustrating!
However, Amber's standards were indeed too high. After all, there were only a few really outstanding people in this world.
Outstanding people really were one in a million.
As she was thinking so, the waiter of the hotel suddenly rushed in.
The waiter shouted as he walked in, "I'm sorry, but this is a private event. You can't come barging in like this!"
The man clad in black, who was in the lead, raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice.
"We are the police. We suspect that there is an illegal gathering going on here. We have to go in and investigate..."
All the people in the room went silent and looked at the door.
"Who's the person- in- charge?" the person shouted.
Eudora heaved a sigh of relief. She really did not want to have an accident at that time. As for Amos, he had been quiet and seemed to be waiting for something.
The footsteps came from outside. The police officers who had followed the waiter for inspection had returned.
"How was it?" The policeman who had taken the lead stood up to ask.
"We found this..." the other policemen said. At
that moment, a silver gun appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone on the scene inhaled sharply. That type of thing was a weapon that was controlled by the law. How could it appear here?
Additionally, it was found in their room!
"Which room?"
"Room 1207!" The policemen pointed at the door number.
Eudora was stunned because room 1207 was their room. However, how could the gun be in their room?
Although it was common for Eudora to see Leslie pulling out guns when they were in Greene City, the management of Greene City in this area was extremely strict. Even the bodyguards around Amos would not bring these weapons casually.
More importantly, they were on a trip. How could they bring this with them?
The head of the police officers took a look, and then asked Amos.
"Can you explain it?"
Amos shook his head and said, "Will you believe me if I tell you that this has nothing to do with me?"
"If it's not yours..." The police officer looked at Eudora, "...then it's hers! After all, you two live together! This is not an ordinary controlled weapon. As a wise person, you should know this. It's forbidden to use this in the country. If we don't investigate this thoroughly, you will be severely punished by the law!"
Eudora sucked in a breath of cold air. Was this weapon really that troublesome?
Coming to her senses, she said, "There has to be something wrong with this! We went out in the afternoon. Someone must have entered our room when we weren't there? I would like to request a thorough investigation!"
The police officer smiled faintly and said, "We will definitely try our best to satisfy your request, but now...I hope that your whole family will return with me to the station to assist in the investigation!"
As he spoke, he motioned for his men to come forward to arrest her.
Amos said lightly, "Hold on!"
