Woosh!
Eudora George opened her eyes when a bucket of cold water was splashed on her face.
'Is she dead? Is she in heaven? If there was a next life, she wants to be a person who can decide her own fate.' she thought.
"Oh, First Miss, are you awake?"
"You were caught red-handed by the Meyer family for having an affair!" Eudora's stepsister Kesha George uttered in disdain. "They sent you back, do you know that? The entire George family's reputation has been ruined by you!"
"Kesha, what are you talking about?" It was her manipulative stepmother, Felicia Maurice.
Eudora looked at the gloating faces of Felicia and Kesha in front of her, and she smiled bitterly in her heart. It turned out that it was not heaven. It was back to hell.
She struggled and winced at her aching body as she sat up. She smirked.
"Well, I was just following the footsteps of this family anyway. The mistress now becomes the wife."
"You..." Kesha glared at her angrily. "Dad, did you hear what Eudora just said?"
Gordon George stood next to Kesha. Eudora finally noticed that her father was there as well. She puckered her lips, keeping quiet out of respect for her father.
"Dad, I want a divorce!" Eudora said firmly.
"I do not agree!" Gordon spoke loudly.
She felt a pang of disappointment. She thought that even though her other family members had always mistreated her, her father would still stand by her side.
Eudora sneered and tried to leave the room. "I do not care if you agree or not. I'm already an adult."
"How dare you!" Gordon was so angry that he started coughing violently. The cough was so bad that he struggled to catch his breath. Eudora stopped walking, but she didn't turn around.
Felicia and Kesha quickly went over to help Gordon to calm down. "Gordon, aren't you planning to tell Eudora about our family's situation? There's a problem with our project and we've lost 50 million dollars. The George Family's foundation would collapse without Felix's support!"
Eudora was shocked. She remembered what Laura said when she was hitting her. Was that what she said, true?
"What the hell is going on?"
"Eudora!" Gordon burst into tears. "I hope you don't blame me. I was not able to do anything. Your late mother and I built our wealth and influence together from scratch. But I have failed her. I am going to be the one who is going to single-handedly destroy it!"
Mother!
Eudora remembered that when her mother died, she made her promise to do everything possible to protect the George family. If only her mother were still alive...
"This is the last time, I promise! Eudora, please apologize to Felix again. As long as the George family is able to survive this crisis, I will definitely take you back!"
Eudora turned around and looked at Gordon pitifully. She no longer believed in her father, but for the sake of the promise she made to her late mother, she was willing to try one final time.
......
In the hospital.
After clearing all the required tests in the hospital, Harley Louis returned to the ward only to see the patient had already worn his clothes. After tidying himself up, Amos Granger looked nothing like a beggar. His exotic handsome features exude a mysterious charm and he looked like a person drawn out of a painting. His eyes gave him the aura of a royalty.
He leaned lazily on the sofa and started smoking.
"What are you doing? Do you really think that you are made of iron? The doctor said that you need to rest for at least half a month!"
The smoke enveloped Amos' face, blurring his expression. The only thing visible was his cold piercing eyes.
"Do you think those people in the Granger family will let me rest for half a month?"
Harley recalled how surprised the physician was when he saw the wounds on Amos' body. The crazy people in the Granger family would not be so kind to let him off so easily.
"Okay, since the hospital is discharging you, you should go home and rest up. I'll send over a few men to guard your place for the time being."
"Okay!" Amos said faintly, "Before we leave, could you please help me retrieve the recordings from the surveillance cameras around the area you found me at?"
Harley was stunned. "What are you going to do? Are you trying to relive your exciting moment heh?"
Amos glanced at him, "I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" After saying that, Harley clasped his mouth with his hands in realization. "s**t! Don't... Don't tell you're going to look for the woman they sent? You... you're not into SM, are you?"
"Shut up!" Amos said coldly.
"Oh!" Harley suddenly became silent. "I'll try my best!"
The Meyer Residence.
When Eudora George returned to her marital residence, it was already late at night.
When she walked past the living room, she noticed that her husband and her mother-in-law were eating dinner together. Laura Westin immediately threw her spoon onto the table at the sight of her. "I don't want to eat anymore! My appetite is ruined!"
Eudora ignored her and walked straight ahead.
"Stop!" Felix Meyer suddenly opened his mouth.
When Eudora turned back to look at him, Felix sneered and pointed at the ground. "Kneel down and crawl to me." He shouted at her like she was a dog.
Eudora pursed her lips and lowered her head, masking her expression.
"What? You don't want to?"
Eudora still didn't move, refusing to entertain Felix.
Her indifference made Felix angry. He stood up from the table and stomped over to Eudora. He grabbed her chin roughly, lifted her face and glared at her.
"Eudora George, are you pretending to be noble? You're just a lowly person and you should be grateful that I married you out of your poverty. Besides, did I not treat you well enough? You get 10,000 dollars worth of monthly allowance without even having to work your ass outside. I just asked you to cook something for my mother, and yet you betrayed me? You cheated on me?"
"Ha ha!"
Eudora sneered, "Did you really think that that is considered as good treatment? In that case, why don't you hire a servant instead? At least a servant still has rights and control over her own life. Me? I have nothing! If you think that I'm having such a good life, why don't you switch with me? I'll give you 10,000 dollars every month. You serve your mother and myself. You don't need to do much, just make us three meals a day. What do you say?"
"Pa!" Felix gave Eudora a hard slap.
Eudora subconsciously returned the slap, but she was held back by Felix.
"Do you want to die? I think you did not realise how much your pathetic father begged me today. He begged me not to divorce you and asked me to forgive you one last time! He also knelt down to me! And you dare to try and hit me? If you hit me, I'll immediately ask people to mess up with your family's company. I'll see how arrogant you will be at that time!"
Eudora clenched her teeth and balled her hands into fists. She finally saw clearly that her husband is nothing but a scumbag!
Felix loosened his grip on Eudora's wrist and patted her cheek. "That's good. Isn't it better if you act like this from now on. You are lucky that you have a good father. If he didn't kneel down and beg me, I wouldn't have let you off so easily. Be a good girl from now on, or else don't blame me for not considering our relationship as husband and wife."
After Felix finished talking, he looked at the servant next to him and said, "Keep an eye on Young Madam. If she goes out and stirs up trouble again, you will be the one responsible!"
"Yes sir!"
Eudora stood in the living room, her feet cold as ice.
She could hear the faint sound of raised voices arguing from upstairs.
"Why are you still keeping this kind of trash around? Are you trying to make things difficult for me? Why won't you just divorce her?"
She could hear Felix's arrogant and loud voice answering his mother. "Why should I divorce her? Don't you know that Eudora has the most beautiful face in the whole of Rosaville City? There are so many people who are envious of me? Marrying a beauty like that who doesn't stop me from having fun outside, it's a win-win situation isn't it? I can't ask for more. I'm not going to divorce..."
Eudora smiled wryly. The most beautiful face in Rosaville City? She once thought that her pretty face was a gift from God.
Turns out, it's a blessing... and a curse.
