Women had always been regarded as the weaker existence.

If Amos was here as the president of Valiant East, everyone would have fawned over him during such an occasion.

It was because they all knew his capabilities.

However, since it was Eudora who came, things were different. Outsiders did not know her capabilities.

All they saw about was how weak and fragile she looked, and they thought that she had to be just a useless trophy wife.

What's more, most men couldn't stand seeing a woman surpassing them and standing above them.

Therefore, they all wanted to prove their capabilities.

After being slapped by Eudora, coupled with the effects of alcohol, he naturally flew into a rage from embarrassment.

The man grabbed Eudora's arm and said, "How dare you hit me? For Valiant East's sake, I had given you some face. Now, you think that you're already the president? If Valiant East really recognized you, you wouldn't just be the interim president! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"

The organizers had been called out just a while ago. Eudora did not bring anyone with her when she came. During such an occasion, she had thought she would go back after showing up just for a while. Amber had not arrived yet. For a moment, she really was isolated and helpless.

Furthermore, she was sick and had no strength at all. She could not defend herself against a full-grown man at all.

There were a lot of onlookers around. The men were all bashful, while the women were all looking at her with distaste. All of them thought of her as a vixen.

When the man saw this, he immediately became bold.

As he dragged Eudora inside, their action immediately ignited everyone's curiosity.

Although what they were doing was illegal, they were not involved in the case. What were they afraid of?

If something unsightly happened on scene, they would have something to talk about later.

Eudora was forcefully pulled a few steps forward. A trace of fear suddenly rose in her heart.

For the first time after Amos was gone, she did not know what to do.

At this moment, a waiter passed by. Eudora grabbed the bottle of red wine on the tray with all the energy she had left.

Bang!

She smashed the bottle of red wine on that man's head. However, the man was more powerful than he expected. Although the man was already bleeding, he did not let go of her!

He slapped Eudora in the face. Then, he became even more fearless and began to tear apart Eudora's clothes.

After Elaine successfully talked to Charles just now, she insisted on making Sawyer talk to Charles.

After the chat, Charles left.

Elaine was about to leave, but Sawyer suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to the washroom.

As a result, the two of them went in again.

As soon as he walked through the door, he heard the commotion. Then, he saw Eudora, who was in the middle of the crowd.

Her cheeks were red, and it was obvious that she was not feeling well.

The man in front of her, who was tall and strong, was tearing Eudora's clothes under the influence of alcohol.

The straps on her shoulders had snapped. Not only did no one stop him, everyone just stood there and watched them curiously.

Elaine turned pale with fright, "These people are monsters!"

Before she could finish her words, Sawyer had already rushed into the crowd.

Before Elaine could react, Sawyer had already landed a punch on that man's face. His body fell to the ground and stopped moving for a while.

Everyone else was shocked by the man who suddenly rushed in.

They quickly dispersed, for fear that they would be implicated.

Sawyer quickly ran over to take a look at Eudora. Her lips were pale, and it was obvious that she was frightened.

She was really scared, and she recalled some bad memories of the past. Those memories had been blurred, but they became clear at that moment.

"Are you alright?" Sawyer asked in a trembling voice. Elaine, who was standing at the side, glanced at Sawyer in confusion.

Although Eudora was terrified, she knew that she could not collapse in front of so many people.

"It's okay. I'm fine."

Sawyer hurriedly took off his own jacket and draped it over Eudora's body.

Some people noticed the horrifying scars on his body and were so shocked that they took a few steps back.

This person was so terrifying.

Sawyer's jacket was warm as it enveloped her.

"Thank you." After Eudora thanked him in a low voice, she got up, "I'll return the jacket to you tomorrow."

After that, she walked out.

The onlookers stepped aside one after another. As they walked away, some of them were still thinking about the scene from a moment ago while some looked at her in a mocking way. Suddenly, an ice-cold gaze fell on the group of people.

As soon as the group of people turned around, they were met with Sawyer's intense gaze.

His gaze was cold, angry, and even insidious. What the hell! What kind of person was he? It was as if he had suddenly appeared.

No one dared to look at Eudora again, so they all turned to look at other things.

Elaine looked at Sawyer, a little worried, "What's wrong? Let's go back, okay?"

Sawyer paid no attention to her. He pushed her aside and walked out.

After Eudora went out, her mind was still clear. She did not know how she could still be so clear-headed at a time like that.

She called Amber, "I'm done here. You don't have to come anymore."

After hanging up on the call, she squatted down and trembled all over.

She was afraid, truly afraid. If it wasn't for Sawyer, she did not even dare to imagine what would have happened to her.

However, she had no one to rely on now. She had to be strong and not let others see her vulnerabilities.

Thinking of that, she wiped away her tears, got up, and walked forwards.

Not far behind her, there was a black figure following her the entire time. When she walked, the figure walked. When she stopped, so did the figure.

As she had been squatting there crying, he had been clenching his fists with his shoulders trembling. It was as if he was the one who was feeling sad, not Eudora.

Eudora had no idea that she was being followed at all.

She kept walking forward. At that moment, she no longer dared to take a taxi, nor did she call her driver. She was afraid to let anyone see her in such a disheveled state, as word spread quickly. If someone saw her like that, her children would find out.

Juju already hated her. She did not want Juju to feel sad because of her.

As the vision in front of her gradually blurred, Eudora finally failed to support herself and fell to the side of the road.

When she was unconscious, she seemed to dream of Amos. He was holding her in his arms like before, and she felt warm and safe.

She did not need to hold on any longer, nor did she have to pretend to be a strong woman who was fearless.

She could cry as much as she used to when she was sad. If she wanted something, all she had to do was to ask Amos.

Amos would definitely fulfill her requests.

Eudora's nose twitched. Finally, she nestled in Amos' arms.

She cried out, "Amos, I'm so tired. Take me away."
