After the two children finished speaking, they tiptoed and put the gold pendant around Eudora's neck.

However, Sugar Bun was too short. As soon as he stood on his toes, he lost his balance and the pendant in his hand fell to the ground!

Eudora hurriedly held Sugar Bun and asked, "Are you alright?"

Sugar Bun nodded his head. In the next instant, Juju exclaimed, "It's broken!"

Eudora looked over to the pendant anxiously and heard Amos's cold voice.

He said, "There's something in it."

The inside of the pendant was hollow. After the pendant got broken, a small yellow note came out of it.

Eudora picked the pendant up and tilted it until the yellow note fell out.

The note had been folded many times into an extremely small size.

After Eudora opened the note, she could clearly see that it was actually a land deed.

Eudora then opened Juju's pendant accordingly and saw another land deed in it.

The main point was that those were not any ordinary pieces of land. One of the two pieces of land was located at the west hill of Rosaville City, which had not been developed yet.

It was a place with beautiful mountains and clear rivers, a treasure land.

It currently held a high value in the market, but no one knew that the land had already been sold.

The other land, although not located in an area with beautiful scenery, was instead situated in the current new developing zone. It was estimated that the area would be booming in the future. Eudora looked at the two deeds and forgot about her sorrow.

"Did Grandpa really give this to the both of you?"

"Yes!" Juju and Sugar Bun nodded. "Grandpa said that it's a souvenir for us! We had no idea about what was inside though!"

Eudora and Amos looked at each other. After Eudora put away the deed, she clasped the necklace.

"Since this is a gift from Grandpa to the both of you, then you have to keep it well!" "We will!" her two children answered.

After a moment of silence, Eudora seemed to remember something and said, "Mom will take these two letters left by Grandpa as souvenirs, okay?"

"Yes!" Juju nodded. "It's okay!"

Sugar Bun also nodded vaguely and said, "Okay!"

Eudora laid on the bed at night, nervously thinking about the two deeds. Although she had already put the deeds away, she still felt uneasy.

"How did Dad get that?"

Eudora sighed. It was obvious that Gordon had been poor before this. Otherwise, when things had happened to Everpeace Group, Gordon would not have asked her to go back and reconcile with Felix.

At that time, he really had no other way to save Everpeace Group. That was why he had come up with a solution like that!

Amos hesitated and asked, "Don't you remember? It seems that a long time ago, Kesha once said that your father still had a certain amount of money in the bank! Didn't she fight with you about the money?" Eudora nodded and said, "I do remember, but it was only a small amount! I really have no clue how he could afford to buy both these lands!"

The market value of the lands were at least more than a billion dollars!

Looking at her haggard face, Amos reached out to stroke her bandaged hand.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it now. I'll ask Clint and Charlie to investigate this tomorrow!"

Eudora hummed in agreement, and then seemed to have thought of another thing, suddenly grabbing Amos's arm.

"Let me see."

Amos was stunned and said, "I'm fine!"

Eudora paid him no mind. She tugged on his arm and looked at it carefully under the light.

There was a row of very deep teeth marks on it, looking like it was going to bleed at any second!

Eudora's nose twitched, and she reached out her hand to stroke his arm. She asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Of course not!" Amos shook his head. He asked, "Do you think that your husband is that weak? For me, this is just a small matter, just like getting bitten by mosquitoes."

Eudora frowned and said, "Are you saying that I'm a mosquito?"

Amos was speechless.

"You are not a mosquito, but my baby."

Eudora rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be silly! Let me apply some medicine!"

"I've already applied medicine!" Amos said. "After all, I'm yours and the children's pillar of support, so I will definitely protect myself! If anything bad happened to me, what will happen to you all?" Amos had uttered all that half-jokingly!

Eudora sighed and laid down again.

"Why are you so silly? Even if I bit you, you could have avoided it! And you say that you're smart!"

"You're different! I'm willing to be bitten by you!"

Eudora was speechless.

Even if it got painful, life still went on. After all, the sun still rose on time every morning.

Gordon's departure passed by in a flash.

A few days after Gordon's passing, it was the day to go back to work as the holidays had ended.

One the day before, Clint had come to ask Amos and Eudora about the company's annual opening ceremony. Eudora only said that everything should be simplified, and those flashy festivities should be canceled.

After all, something had happened in the family and they should keep a low profile instead!

Eudora changed into a black dress, and while tidying up, she made a call to Clint.

"Have you arranged everything according to what I said?"

Clint did not reply to her question.

On the contrary, he spoke to her about another matter anxiously, "Mrs. Granger, have you read the news this morning? It's about President Granger and Mr. Louis."

Eudora's heart skipped a beat, and her heart was filled with an ominous premonition once again.

She no longer wanted to ask any more questions. Immediately hanging up on the call, she searched for the news online.

Just as Clint had mentioned, the moment she opened the news platform, she saw the glaring headline.

[How do you think wealthy businessmen succeed?]

It had to be said that the reporters were quite intelligent. They knew how to create juicy titles so that the article could attract people's attention. There were many people in today's society who were impetuous and wanted to make a fortune.

Therefore, as soon as the article came out, it immediately started trending in all search engines!

Attached to the article was a video of Harley leaving the Granger Mansion. There was also the picture of Harley shopping with them in the mall.

Eudora frowned and just as she was about to call Clint, he called her back.

"Madam, the authorities said that they want to investigate our financial reports! They ordered us to shut down our business for three days and asked us to cooperate with their investigation!"

That was fast!

Eudora closed her eyes and said, "Let's take it one step at a time!"

After hanging up on the call, Eudora went downstairs.

"Amos, I..."

"I know!" Amos pursed his lips. "I saw the news this morning! It's obvious that someone has set us up. You don't have to blame yourself too much!"

"The company has been ordered to cooperate with the investigation!" Eudora frowned.

"That won't be a problem!" Amos said. "We don't have anything to hide!"

Although it was true, Eudora had a bad feeling. She asked, "Who on earth are they? I've been thinking about it for a long time but do we even have any enemies now? If they're our enemies, will they do anything harmful to the company?"

Amos pursed his lips and said, "Well, don't think too much into it. This matter also involves Harley. With his identity, wouldn't he have more enemies than us?"

Eudora suddenly came to a realization and said, "You're right!"
