My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 612

At a private room in Golden Luxe Bar, the two men who just left the Holt Manor were drinking alcohol with a group of ladies by their side. It was an incredibly alluring scene.

The phone rang, and one of the beautiful women handed the phone to him.

The man picked up the phone and said something into the receiver lazily. The next second, he bolted up, his eyes wide open.

"What did you say? Who bought my company?"

At the same time, the man next to him received a phone call as well. He gasped in disbelief, "My family business has been bought over? And it will be used to build a garbage collection station?" After that, the two of them howled at the same time.

"TEM Company!"

"Why? Isn't TEM Company a real estate developer? Why did they buy our companies all of a sudden?"

"What? Is it because we didn't attend Tyler's funeral? Can't I go now? Why can't I? Shall I go now?"

The reply that came from the other end of the phone was ruthless. It was too late for the two of them!

Both of them exchanged glances and fell to the ground in devastation.

One of the beautiful women next to the man came forward to help him up, but the man shoved her away and barked, "Go away! Don't bother me."

Within the blink of an eye, the pretty ladies in the room dispersed. The news about TEM Company buying over both the Chilton family and Carter family businesses due to their absence at the funeral spread like wildfire.

Everyone who was invited and every person who didn't attend the funeral immediately rushed towards the venue.

They scrambled to the Holt Manor with the fear that they would be too late.

Meanwhile, in the Holt Manor.

After Malcom's threat was spread out, everyone waited inside patiently. An hour had passed, but not a single soul was seen.

The assistant ran back shamefully and reported, "I'm sorry, Sir. I have made all the calls and said all the things you asked me to say, bu-but..."

"But they all said that the Nolan family is going down soon, right? They think that I, Malcom Nolan, is old and useless, don't they?"

The assistant averted his gaze shamefully, "Actually, they phrase it so badly..."

"So, that means they did?" Malcom snickered, "I'll call them up myself. I'd like to see if those people will pay their respects to an elder like me or not."

With that, he got up and wanted to march forward. Before he could stand properly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Fabian held him up and screamed, "Dad!"

Eudora hurriedly called Leslie, "Go and get a doctor."

Fortunately, the doctor was not far from here. He reached the manor quickly and took Malcom to a room at the back. After the doctor confirmed that it was caused by a fit of anger and it wasn't a big issue, Eudora returned.

Leslie knelt in front of Tyler's coffin and let out a painful cry.

"Sir, it's me who was incapable. I'm sorry for seeing you off in such a desolate and lonely manner!"

Eudora went over and helped Leslie up, saying, "Uncle Clarke, forget it. Dad is gone. If we don't move on, Dad probably won't be able to rest in peace. Just let bygones be bygones and let Dad rest in peace! In this way, he can reunite with Mom earlier."

In fact, she did have some regrets too. Tyler's most favorite thing in life was an extravagance. He was flattered by so many people throughout his whole life, but he could not have a splendid funeral.

However, she couldn't do anything to change this now that everything had happened all of a sudden.

Leslie sighed, "Then I'll go make the arrangements..."

When Leslie went out, Eudora turned to look at the photo on Tyler's coffin. She muttered, "I'm sorry, Dad..."

"Miss! There are so many people outside..."

Leslie, who just went out, returned almost immediately. His face was filled with incredulity.

Eudora was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Maybe Mr. Nolan's calls worked. They are all gathered around the entrance, saying that they want to come in and pay their respects to Mr. Holt."

The heavy burden in Eudora's heart was finally relieved. Fortunately, her father was able to leave a little more gloriously.

"Let them in!"

In the beginning, Eudora thought that it would be similar to her exorbitant banquet from last time. However, she was wrong.

Twenty minutes later, as more and more people offered their condolences, the entire Holt family courtyard was packed like a can of sardines.

Everyone who arrived cried sorrowfully as if they were deeply saddened by Tyler's death. There were even two people who fainted from all the crying in front of the mourning hall.

In the end, there were too many people coming. Hence, Eudora had to ask Leslie to send those who had already paid their respects outside.

Even so, the people outside were still unwilling to leave. They formed a long line outside the Holt manor and stood there silently.

Soon, the media discovered the shocking scene and made a large report about the incident. Everyone in the city quickly found out about Tyler's death.

The fact that the Holt family was actively involved in charity was also spread widely.

All the people in Greene City, including all the charities that the Holt family donated to, took the initiative to attend Tyler's mourning session. The news even ranked first among the most searched hashtags on social media.

After everyone finished paying their respects, Hodge came in and announced,

"Miss, Mr. Granger is here!"

He wasn't aware of the relationship between Tyler's death and the Granger family. He only knew that Amos was someone who Eudora cared for a lot, which was why he came in to update her. Leslie immediately burst into anger, "How dare he come here! If it weren't for his people, Mr. Holt would still be alive! Sh*t, I will beat him to death and avenge Mr. Holt's death."

"Uncle Clarke!" Eudora stopped Leslie and said, "Calm down. We haven't figured out what really happened."

"You still don't know? The murderer was one of his trusted men. He wouldn't have done such things unless he was instructed to! What else do you need to know?"

"But..." Eudora was momentarily at a loss for words. However, she knew deep in her heart that Amos was not that kind of person.

Even when Tyler stopped them from being together in the past, he had never done such things. There was no reason for Amos to do this since Tyler had already agreed to let them be together. While she was hesitating, Leslie managed to break away from the crowd as he rushed out with his gun. Eudora felt a sudden chill and hurriedly chased after him.

Amos was standing outside.

Since the incident, he had tried to call her countless times, but she did not pick up his calls. She must hate him now!

Amidst his thoughts, Leslie rushed out from inside the manor and raised his gun towards Amos.

Eudora felt a shiver and called out loudly, "Amos!" Then, she rushed towards him and threw herself in front of Amos.

Leslie took into account Eudora's moves and forcefully pulled the gun away. A bullet embedded itself into the asphalt in the middle of the road.

The crowd burst into an uproar, with most of the people standing outsid screaming at the top of their lungs.

Hearing the sound, the nearby patrol officers hurried over and asked, "Who is causing trouble here?"

Eudora glanced at Leslie. Leslie was Tyler's most loyal subordinate! Now that Tyler was gone, the Holt family's business would crumble for sure.

If anything happened to Leslie, the Holt family would be finished.

Thinking of this, Eudora sputtered, "Amos, get out of here! You killed my father, I swear that I'll kill you."

Amos's heart sank. Surely enough, she was outraged.

"Eudora, listen to me. Actually..."

"I don't want to listen to you!" Eudora shook her head and refused him, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I will shoot you for real!" The patrol officer's face darkened, "So it's you! Come with us."

The officer was about to grab Eudora when Amos said in a flash, "Hold on!"
