My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 631

In the blink of an eye, Vivian already drank a week's worth of milkshake in Eudora's store. On the last day, she took the initiative to greet Eudora when her milkshake was served.

"If you're not busy, why don't you take a seat and have a chat with me?"

Eudora sat down casually, and they began to chat.

"I used to be like you. I wanted to open a small shop like this and spend the rest of my life in peace."

Eudora answered without hesitation, "You're not old. You could still do it now!"

"No, I wouldn't have to chance to!" Vivian pursed her lips.

Eudora was puzzled, "Well, there is a will, there is a way!"

Vivian did not refute her but continued to talk about herself.

"I think I might have told you that I came here before. Back then, it was still a club. I forgot to tell you that I used to be a bar girl here."

Eudora fell silent, and the woman chuckled again.

"Do you think that people who do this line of work are cheap?"

Eudora shook her head hurriedly, "No, why would I think that way?" She had indeed never thought like that before.

She always believed that everyone wanted to live a decent life, just like herself in the past. However, there were billions of people in the world, and it was not up to them to do what they wanted to in their lives. Most of the time, people didn't have the right to choose. They could only bite the bullet and do it.

"It's okay!" Vivian smiled, "I believe that you won't think so, but it doesn't hinder the fact that many people think so."

After a slight pause, Vivian let out a sigh.

"I initially could have gone to university! I had even chosen the university that I wanted to go to, but my father fell ill, and my mother couldn't afford the tuition, so, she left home. I couldn't possibly let my father die alone, so I have to take on the family's responsibility. Later, my friend told me that I could earn a fortune here, so I came here. At first, I really liked it here. As my friend said, the pay was amazing, but... it was a little complicated.

I always thought that as long as I was determined enough, as long as I did my job well, no one else could do anything to me. But I was too naive! After working for a month here, I met a person, and from then on, I'd never tasted freedom ever again."

Eudora was stunned, "Did it happen here? Why didn't ask the manager here for help? This is a legitimate club, so they will help you..."

Vivian smiled bitterly. "It seems that you grew up sheltered. You still don't know how sinister this world is. I envy you very much!"

Eudora choked. Vivian was right. Amos had always protected her ever since they were together.

Even after she had returned to the Holt Family, Tyler was there to take care of her. Apart from the fact that she couldn't be with Amos, she had indeed lived a sheltered life.

As a result, she had almost forgotten the harsh life she had when she was with Felix, to the point that she thought that the world was beautiful again.

"I'm sorry, please continue. What happened after that?"

Vivian let out a bitter laugh. "What happened after? You should've guessed it. That person took a fancy to me and wanted me to be his woman. I refused and tried to escape by all means. In the end, he threatened me by using my father. I finally gave in. So, for so many years, I became a shadow around him, a pet of him.

A pet without freedom."

Eudora looked at Vivian sadly. She understood immediately why she said that she wouldn't have another chance in life.

"I could help you..." Eudora said, "Who is this person? I'll help you negotiate and have him let you go!"

Vivian shook her head. "You can't help me! As long as he is still alive, I wouldn't be able to escape from him!"

She sighed and took out a card from her bag. She handed it to Eudora and said, "Thank you for listening to my rants. I'm very happy for the past seven days. This card is for you! I hope that it would bring you good luck!"

Eudora accepted the card with both hands. It was an ordinary-looking, pure, white card.

There was no family name printed on it. It was just one simple name, Vivian. Below her name was an address and a series of words, but there was no phone number.

When Eudora looked up, she realized that Vivian had already left.

Eudora breathed in deeply and kept the card. It seemed that there were plenty of pitiful women in this world.

After working tirelessly for several days, Leslie came to report the latest updates in the afternoon, "The Holt Family has reached the highest profits in all its projects in history. Miss Eudora, your marketing is a real success this time."

Eudora took a leap of faith too. She heaved a sigh of relief as the results were proven good.

Leslie looked at Eudora's eyes and said, "Miss Eudora, you have been working hard for these past few days. There's not much going on in the store today, so you should go home and rest. I'll take over from here."

However, Eudora was thinking about changing the business models of other entertainment centers that had been closed down.

She still had a lot of other matters to deal with too. Since she hadn't started to work on it, she was better off taking a break and using the opportunity to accompany Juju. Hence, she didn't refuse, "I'll head back first then. Call me if anything happens."

Eudora stuffed Vivian's name card into her bag as she left. She didn't know when she would have the opportunity to meet her again, but since she was sincere enough to leave her card, it would be better for her to keep it well.

On her way home, Eudora stopped by the bakery to buy Juju's favorite strawberry mousse. The little girl must be bored at home for the past few days, so Eudora hoped that the mousse should cheer her up. Eudora didn't drive because she was feeling exhausted and she was afraid that she might get into an accident. Therefore, she had been taking the taxi everywhere.

The car stopped outside the villa area. After Eudora got off the car, she took the mousse and walked slowly back into the villa. After a few steps, she saw a man running out anxiously. "Oh no, Miss Juju is missing!"

Eudora froze for a moment, "What did you say? Why is Juju missing?"

The man said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Miss. We didn't take good care of Miss Juju..."

All of a sudden, someone shouted in front of them, "Miss Juju is here! Oh, how did she fall into the pond?"

Eudora's heart tightened, and she couldn't care about anything else. She sped in the direction of the voice.

There was a pond in the green area in the community. When Eudora ran over, several

men were already surrounding the pond.

They were discussing ways to save her. There was a small skirt on the edge of the pond that was partly visible.

Eudora held her breath, "Juju!"

As soon as she yelled her name, she felt an intense pain at the back of her heart, and the mousse fell to the ground from her grip.
