My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 897

Amos asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Eudora shook her head. "No, I just don't want to receive the award. Let's go! I'm hungry. I want to eat some delicious food!"

He was smart. Even if she didn't tell him, he could still see through her emotion!

He grabbed her hand.

"I know what you're thinking, but do you really think that your husband is such a good-for-nothing layabout?"

She was mystified. She felt that Amos was trying to say something to her.

However, before she could ask, the emcee had already called her name!

She froze while he held her hand and stood up.

"Go! After all, you're excellent, so why wouldn't you go?"

He pushed her forward, and she couldn't just shrink back at this moment, so she went up.

However, she still saw a lot of disdainful faces when she stood on the stage and turned around. Those people were all staring at him with total contempt.

Perhaps many men were thinking that Amos, who was once known as an outstanding man, was now reduced to a state of cooking and looking after his children at home. They were probably looking down on him!

In the end, Eudora didn't give her acceptance speech, even though she could have put in a good word for Amos along with it. However, after being scorned by those women just now, she understood one thing. The fact that if someone was bent on misunderstanding them, she could never change their minds no matter how hard she explained it.

It was possible for them to think that she was quibbling, which would make Amos even more embarrassed.

Therefore, she simply didn't say anything more. She came down from the stage in haste after thanking the presenter.

However, even so, some people still couldn't shut their mouths. After she came back to her seat, she heard many people whispering in low voices.

There was also a man who went up after Eudora to receive the award. His ranking previously was in Eudora's current position. Maybe he was a little annoyed at her for snatching his position, so his words were very unpleasant to listen to.

In his acceptance speech, he said that men must be independent and shouldn't rely on women. If they weren't at the award ceremony, she would really go back up and punch him in the face!

Even though she held back, she was still vexed. She mumbled in a low voice, "Wait for me. I'll teach you a lesson later!"

Upon hearing that, Amos looked at her angry expression and could not help laughing again.

"Who are you going to teach a lesson to? Just tell Charlie to do it for you!"

She shook her head. "No, I want to do it myself!"

"Alright, I'll keep you company," he said with a smile.

While chatting, their moods got better. As the award- giving session was almost over, she thought the ceremony was coming to an end and she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, the emcee suddenly said, "In addition to the same awards as the previous years, we also set up a special award. It will be the most valuable award of the year because the winner's accomplishments are very remarkable. What's more, the winner has always kept a low profile, so we never revealed it to the public! Speaking of this, why don't you guys try to guess who this person is?"

Hearing that, the men who were disdaining Amos earlier, all looked at each other speechlessly.

Especially the one who won the first place just now. His face fell in an instant.

Originally, he thought that he would be in the spotlight after he had won first place. Unexpectedly, a more valuable award than his came out of nowhere! He couldn't stand it! Seeing that, the man's wife whispered something in his ear to comfort him.

"Honey, could it be that, "this person" actually refers to you?"

As soon as the woman spoke, the rest of the people also looked at the man.

Although everyone's eyes were full of envy and jealousy, these so-called "upper class people" paid the most attention to fame.

Moreover, many people were looking forward to collaborating and benefiting from the winner of that special award in the future.

How could they offend the person who might be the winner of that award?

They all started to sing him praises, "Mr. Chilton, it seems that you're the one who should be awarded for it!"

In the beginning, the man was a little modest, refusing to take any credit.

"No, I didn't get the notice!"

"We were not informed either! This award seems to be added on the spur of the moment. I heard that you, Mr. Chilton, had made a donation to a school not long ago. Could it be possible that such a good deed has been found out? Is that why the award was set up on impulse?"

Upon hearing that, the man's eyes lit up.

In fact, he was not willing to donate to the school at first! It was started by Valiant East and the charity website. Only then did several companies follow in their footsteps.

They did it because they wanted to compete for that year's awards.

He hadn't expected that it would become the key to this competition.

His wife also said, "Honey, it's possible! The person who won second place has not done any philanthropic works, and the rest of them do not have a high ranking. You are the only one who is worthy of that reward this year!"

Mr. Chilton immediately became proud, as if he were really the winner.

"Thank you for your kind words."

His wife instantly glanced at Eudora and said, "Honey, you're so good! I'll always support you behind your back! I won't usurp your power..."

Eudora gritted her teeth.

As she was thinking, the emcee spoke again.

"It seems that there's a candidate in everyone's mind already. Then, I'm going to announce the winner of today's special award! He is..."

Before he could say out the name, Mr. Chilton had already stood up and waved at the crowd.

In the next second, they all heard the name.

"Amos Granger! Mr. Granger!"

All the people were silent as the dead.

Especially Mr. Chilton, who had stood up proudly. Now, there was an egg on his face.

His wife screamed, "How could it be possible? Isn't he just a man who takes care of his children at home? What contributions did he make to economic development? Why was he chosen?" The emcee smiled and said, "Calm down, everyone. I haven't finished reading it yet!"

"President Granger has left the Valiant East, but he founded TEM Company. TEM has made contributions that exceeded ten percent of the total contribution of many other companies in Rosaville City this year! Other than that, President

Granger has also devoted himself to charitable works. Within this year, he has made donations to more than one hundred primary schools and helped many children in rural areas gain access to the education that they deserved..."

The emcee really dropped a bombshell when he announced it.

Everyone was shocked. Even Valiant East was no match for TEM Company. It had always been mysterious, and everyone thought it was a foreign company.

No one would have expected that it was founded by Amos!

Those people, who had been disdainful of Amos, changed their attitude right away. They began to flatter him.

"Mr. Granger is indeed a role model for us in Rosaville City!"

"Yes, he's so successful, yet he's still so low-key. Unlike someone who is boastful despite his donation to only a school, President Granger remains humble even though he has donated to hundreds of schools!
