My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 786

The shareholders were all stunned by Sebastian's yelling.

They did not want to risk provoking Sebastian as well, unless it was absolutely necessary. Besides, they had already discussed it beforehand. As long as the Valiant East Group recovered, their shares would rise too!

Nick, who was the head of this group of shareholders, spoke out to defuse the situation, "Let's not get too hasty, everyone. It's easy for internal conflicts to happen if we start panicking. Our main focus was originally to build up this company; if we were to start arguing with each other, wouldn't things get ugly? That wouldn't be good!"

After Nick finished speaking, the rest of them started echoing in agreement too.

"Yes, yes! We had gotten too anxious! The company is indeed currently not looking too well now, but it's not as if it has hit rock bottom. It's just a transitional period between different generations of employees now, so some difficulties are inevitable. It's fine!"

"That's right! All is well; we're all confident that President Granger can get through this!" After a whole round of flattery, Sebastian's rage went down slightly.

He and the shareholders shared a complementary relationship, so he was not that stupid to directly provoke them. He had been too angry just now.

Now that someone had come out to smooth things over, Sebastian went with the flow to get out of the awkward situation.

"That was my bad. I made everyone worry."

"It's okay, no worries at all! As long as the company is doing fine, we will be fine!"

Sebastian furrowed his brows as he responded, "Don't worry. Since I have the ability to take over the company, naturally I have the confidence to manage it well. Give me three days' time, then I'll give all of you a proper response!"

Only then did the crowd leave.

Once they were gone, Sebastian furiously smashed the ashtray.

"Eudora George, I've really underestimated you!"

He turned around and looked at Harper, "Contact Eudora, and tell her I'd like to invite her for a meal!"

Up in the mountains.

When Eudora woke up in the morning, she saw Tina busily doing woodwork at the door. There was a lot of wood right next to her.

"What are you doing?" Eudora asked curiously.

Tina wiped the sweat off her face.

She answered in a crisp voice, "Making a swing set! Eudora, you're awake? Breakfast is already done. My cooking skills still aren't that great yet, so I made something easy. Just have a simple meal! I'll learn how to cook from you next time, is that okay?"

Seeing her so full of energy, Eudora smiled and nodded.

"Sounds good!"

As she was speaking, Tina picked up another piece of wood. Christopher stretched out his hand to help, but Tina stopped him.

"Don't move, didn't you agree to me taking care of you? Besides, your wound hasn't recovered yet! I can assemble this swing set myself!"

Eudora asked with sudden realization, "You wanted a swing?"

Tina pursed her lips, "No, it's for Christopher!"

Confusion was written all over Eudora's face.

Christopher, who was standing beside Tina, nodded, with a doting smile on his face. His gaze was fixed on her the entire time.

Eudora immediately understood, and stopped saying anything.

Their way of getting along with each other was pretty nice too!

When she entered the kitchen, the table had been laid out with plain congee, two dishes of preserved vegetables, and a somewhat yellowish plain steamed bun.

Although the meal did not look very appetizing, it was definitely much better than Tina's previous attempt when the kitchen had been burnt down.

Eudora grinned, and ate with the two kids until they were full. They then went out of the house.

The swing set was already assembled. With excitement and anticipation evident in her eyes, Tina went over to Christopher and suggested, "Why don't you try it out? Do you like it?" Christopher went up and sat on it, "It's excellent."

Then, he patted the seat next to him and said, "You come and sit down too."

"I'm not going to sit!" Tina shook her head and declined his invitation. "I'm going to tidy up the things, then get ready to prepare the ingredients for lunch!"

"There's no need to rush. After all, it's still early!" Christopher quickly said.

"It's not early anymore! I'm slow and not that skilled, so I need to start earlier."

Christopher had no choice but to groan and hold his abdomen, saying, "Why does my stomach suddenly hurt?"

Tina immediately put aside everything else, and anxiously rushed to take a look at Christopher. She asked, "Where does it hurt? Did your wound get irritated? I'll go get the medical kit for you..." "No!" Christopher grabbed her and said, "It's much better now. It's just that I suddenly want to read a book. However, my arm has been raised for too long, so now it's feeling a bit sore. Can you read for me?" "Okay!" Tina nodded, "What book do you want?"

"The book about the Notre Dame Cathedral which you mentioned to me last time; didn't you say that it was really nice? I remember that you still haven't finished it yet!"

"Okay!" Tina went to search for it, with a smile plastered on her face.

Just in time, Charlie came in.

He asked, "I'm going down the mountain later. Should I buy any food back?"

Eudora immediately shot a glance at Christopher, saying, "Mr. Gellert is the patient here, so ask him what he would like to eat!"

Christopher thought for a moment and replied, "Let's buy some pork ribs and make some sweet and sour pork ribs. Get a crucian carp to make some steamed fish, and some baby cabbage. Cooking it with garlic would be nice."

Eudora raised a brow at him, "Since when did your taste become so bland?"

She remembered that Christopher used to only eat spicy dishes!

"People have to change their preferences sometimes! Alright, just those then!"

Charlie noted them down on a list and asked, "Should I go ask Miss Tina too?"

"No need!" Eudora shook her head. "Just go and buy those!"

It was because those foods were exactly what Tina liked to eat! Seeing the both of them being so considerate of each other, Eudora's heart became at ease.

When Charlie came back in the afternoon, he brought with him some news too.

"Madam, Sebastian said that he would like to have a meal with you."

"Oh? Just tell him that there's no need for that. If there's anything, it can be discussed after a month's time!"

Christopher was confused, "Haven't you been waiting for him to yield to you? Why don't you want to see him this time?"

Eudora shook her head, "How could someone like Sebastian yield so easily? I don't believe it. He's obviously realized that his harsh methods aren't working, so he wants to try reasoning it out with me. If I show up but don't give him the formula, he might use something against me and say some nonsense. I'd rather not meet with him if that turns out to be the case!"

Reality proved Eudora's assumption to be correct.

After Sebastian took the initiative to invite Eudora for dinner but did not receive any response, on the next day, he started babbling nonsense to the media.

When Eudora woke up early in the morning, she saw that she had appeared on the news headlines.

'Scheming Woman Escapes with Family Secret, Plunges In-laws into Indignity, All for Wealth and Inheritance!' was written as the title.

In conclusion, the article talked about how she had taken over every possession belonging to her husband after his death, with no regard for her in-laws, and ran away with the family's secret recipe. Judgment towards her was laced in every single line. Eudora briefly glanced at it, then put down the newspaper and continued eating.

Tina cast a worried look at Eudora, "Eudora, are you alright?"

Eudora bit into a steamed bun, "You've improved a lot, as today's steamed bun isn't as yellow."

Tina was speechless.

"Eudora, are you really alright?!"

"What possibly could be wrong with me? What he's saying isn't the truth anyways. Besides, I already knew that he was going to do this. So, don't worry, if he can speak up about this, so can I. Your sister has already prepared a lot of amazing things. I was just concerned that he wouldn't cause trouble, then I wouldn't have a chance to carry out my plans!"
