My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 604

Amidst her thoughts, Tyler said something to her abruptly,

"Eudora, go and get me some water!"

Eudora knew that he had something to tell Fabian, so she went straight out as told.

After she left, Tyler looked at Fabian and said, "Thank you very much for last night!"

Fabian shook his head and replied, "Uncle Holt, please don't be so courteous. It's something I should have done anyway!"

Tyler smiled with satisfaction, "You've really lived up to my expectations, Fabian. The reason I asked you to stay was because I wanted to discuss with you the project you mentioned to me last time." Fabian's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Uncle Holt, have you already made a decision? When are we going to sign the contract?"

Tyler shook his head with a wry smile, "I did make a decision, but I'm afraid that we can't sign the contract..."

The smile on Fabian's face gradually disappeared, "Uncle Holt..."

"I'm sorry! It's really my fault this time. I originally thought that since Eudora was my daughter, I should decide and plan everything for her. However, after this incident, I've understood something now. I was too selfish. No wonder Emily always refused to forgive me back then."

However, Fabian couldn't accept it at all at the moment. He tried to plead, "Uncle Holt, please listen to me. I really like Eudora, I..."

"I know!" Tyler chuckled and comforted him softly.

"I know you like Eudora. I didn't say that you can't be with Eudora from now onwards. I just don't want to interfere with her choices anymore. You can still court her as you did before, but let's put the project aside for the time being. I won't force her to sign it unless she is willing to do so!"

"But... it'll be too late!" Fabian suddenly blurted out.

Tyler was stunned and asked, "What? Fabian, is there something wrong?"

Fabian realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly shook his head, denying it, "No, I am just worried. My father always hoped that I could marry Eudora as soon as possible. I always thought that I could, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

"I'm sorry!" Tyler patted Fabian's shoulder and continued, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't blame Eudora for it. She has always been resisting my words since I'm the one who was always giving her pressure."

Fabian frowned. Just then, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and went out of the ward.

It was Callum, who sounded quite nervous on the other side of the phone.

"Boss, did you solve the problems over there? When are you going to sign the contract with the Holt family?"

"Why? What happened?"

Callum cursed, "D*mn it, we've been fooled. I always thought that it would be fine as long as I keep an eye on the Yeagers, but I didn't expect them to trick us! I received a piece of news just now that the amount of money we used to lure them was taken away by them! To make matters worse, it was transferred out in a very normal way through an engineering transfer fund. The information about our new projects was also leaked. Now, those scholars have already disappeared. Our opponents are also going to commence working tomorrow. Once they have started, we won't be able to defend ourselves anymore. By then, they will accuse us of plagiarizing their projects! Now, the company's entrance is surrounded by a lot of people. What should we do?"

Fabian's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Where's the project? Let's start today then!"

Callum groaned, "I want to start too, but we don't have money now. Didn't I just say that all the money was either spent or taken away already? Now, we can only count on the Holt family! What did they tell you? Can we use the money now?"

Thinking of Tyler's words, Fabian felt extremely agitated.

"No! I'll think of another way!"

Callum was confused, "Sh*t! What the hell is the Holt family doing? Do they want to stand us up at the very last minute? Should we just use that money?"

Hearing this, Fabian's expression froze as he barked, "No! Unless we have no other choice, we must not use that money."

The money that Fabian was mentioning was some cash that Malcom got from unknown sources back when he worked with Thomas Shelby.

After Thomas was executed, Malcom began to avoid being involved in anything illegal. He planned to launder the money after a few years when the incident had died down.

However, it was already too late!

Callum was a simple-minded guy, and he was too impatient. When he heard that all his suggested methods couldn't work, he grew anxious again.

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit around and do nothing, right?"

Fabian took a deep breath and said, "Give me one more day. I will give you an answer tomorrow night. Call your men up to search for those people who took our money. How dare they fool me!"

Callum was immediately invigorated as he said, "Okay, I will handle it well. I despise ungrateful b*stards the most!"

After that, the phone was hung up.

Fabian took a deep breath and looked back at the ward door. After a while, he calmed down and walked back in.

At the same time, Harley and several officers had been laying out of sight on a dark path outside Nolan's company for several nights.

At this moment, Harley yawned wearily and stared ahead.

"It seems that the Nolan family is having an internal conflict now, which is a good thing. You guys stay here and keep an eye on them. If you discover anything, inform me immediately. I suspect that if they don't have enough money, they may call up some underground forces to help them out. The rest of you, follow me to find those escaped workers. According to what Fabian has done before, he won't let go of those people for sure..."

"Yes, sir!"

After they received their respective tasks, they all started to devote themselves to the job.

Charlie followed up and stopped Harley. He requested, "Mr. Louis, I want to follow you."

Harley glanced at Charlie and said, "Okay then, follow me. But remember, you can't act recklessly unless it's necessary. After all, you're here to help. If something happens to any of you, it'll make things unnecessarily complicated for me."

Charlie nodded and followed him.

When Eudora returned from outside, she thought that Fabian would have already left. She didn't expect to see him accompanying Tyler in the ward.

Fabian was probably talking about something that happened in the past because Tyler was smiling happily!

When Fabian saw Eudora enter, he stood up and took the initiative to tell her, "Eudora, you don't have to be afraid of me. Uncle Holt has already told me everything clearly just now. I'll respect your decision!" Eudora heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me. I didn't say that I'll be giving up on you yet! As long as you are not married, I still have a chance!" Eudora smiled and said, "When you meet a girl you truly like in the future, you'll understand that I'm not as good as you think." Fabian wanted to say something, but he forcefully changed the topic even before he could say it.

"Let's put this aside for the time being. However, I think it's really necessary for you to consider signing the contract for that project."
