Steven’s mind was buzzing and he was at a loss. Amos, on the other hand, looked as calm as ever, his thoughts crystal clear.
He had initially thought that it was Steven who had posted that video on the internet. However, after having a serious conversation with him, he was certain that Steven wasn’t the type of person who would make such a wise move.
He glanced at his surroundings.
“Are you still going to hide? I know who you are. You’re the one behind all this.”
However, the enemy remained calm and there was not a single movement.
Amos furrowed his eyebrows. At this moment, Steven, who was tied up beside him, suddenly broke free.
Once he regained his freedom, he leaped to his feet and lunged towards Amos.
Amos felt his heart skip a beat. He moved towards the side swiftly. Fortunately, he managed to dodge the blow.
“Steven, have you lost your mind?”
Steven gritted his teeth, “Don’t you dare try to fool me! You and Bethany are up to no good. I have nothing to lose even if I kill both of you!”
He then lunged towards Amos once more.
Amos squinted his brows as he gave Steven a deadly kick, instantly knocking him down to the ground.
“That’s enough! Steven, my patience has its limits!”
If it weren’t for him desperately wanting to find out who the mastermind was, he wouldn’t even spare the time to deal with Steven here.
When he left Rosaville City years ago, Steven took up boxing at Harry’s request. Before this, he thought that he had mastered his skills, but he was dumbfounded when he couldn’t take even three of Amos’ blows.
Steven gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly with hatred building up inside of him.
Amos ignored him once again. Although his kick didn’t land on any vital body parts, he knew from his past experiences that Steven wouldn’t be able to get up for a while.
Hence, he had nothing to worry about!
The most important thing now was to figure out who was toying with him behind his back.
At last, Amos’ gaze landed on a bush that wasn’t far away from him. “Show yourself!”
The bush moved slightly as he saw someone standing to their feet.
“My, my. Amos Granger. You truly are smart!”
It was none other than Kesha, who had been missing for the past few days. She was wearing a long skirt and had some white gauze covering her face.
However, he could still recognize Kesha at first sight.
Steven, who was lying on the ground, looked completely taken back. “Kesha, how dare you lie to me?”
It turned out that it was Kesha who had deliberately spread the news that she had gone to the airport!
Kesha couldn’t even be bothered to look at Steven. “Do you really think that it’s worth my time to trick an idiot like you?”
The corner of Steven’s mouth twitched. “You…”
However, Kesha no longer paid any attention to him. Instead, she fixed her eyes on Amos and spoke sternly, “Mr. Granger, it seems that you had learned the truth.”
Amos frowned and said, “So you were the one who ganged up with Steven and Felix to kidnap Eudora! You thought I killed Harry, so you wanted to take revenge.”
Kesha nodded. “That’s right!”
Behind him, Steven was aghast at what he had just heard. He looked at Amos and shouted. “Kesha, shut up!”
Kesha glanced at him with disdain. “Shut up, you fool!”
Amos said again, “Steven has received help several times in the past. It was you all along, wasn’t it?”
Kesha snorted and exclaimed, “Yes, it’s me!”
“So you must have been the one who altered Eudora’s pregnancy record intentionally! You even poisoned her!”
Amos was already raising his voice, but no matter what he said, Kesha still seemed unfazed. In fact, she felt prouder the more Amos spoke of her evil deeds.
“It’s all me! So what? Did you suddenly realize that I should be the one standing by your side after all? What’s so good about that b*tch Eudora anyway?”
Amos furrowed his eyebrows and growled, “You will never, ever be better than her.”
His words seemed to have provoked Kesha. She felt a furious rage burning inside of her. Her face darkened and she shouted, “So what? Do you think that I still like you? How pathetic. I hate you, I hate you so much!”
Amos’ lips twitched. “Good! I don’t want to be liked by someone like you either. Someone who wouldn’t even blink an eye when she pushed her mother down the stairs…”
Kesha’s face finally turned pale for a moment.
Steven was lost for words as he stood behind Amos. He was too naive and stupid. He had always thought that Kesha was a good woman, someone who would help him through thick and thin.
He was indeed furious, but he had never once thought about leaving her, even after finding out that she had tried to seduce Amos!
Who would’ve known that she was a backstabber after all?
Kesha glanced at Steven and Amos back and forth. Her stare was filled with so much hatred that she could send chills running down spines.
“So what if you’re right about everything? You said that I am evil, but what makes you think that you’re a good person?” She pointed her fingers at Amos as she said this.
“You and Eudora aren’t even married. Who’s going to stop me even if I were to seduce you? But you tried to frame me and intentionally make me look bad just for your sweet Eudora. All of this at what cost?”
“And you!” She pointed at Steven.
“You said that you liked me and that I was your savior. But have you ever been kind to me? You only think of me when you need my help. Were you ever there for me when I needed you the most? I just wanted you to investigate something for me but you were unwilling to help. What kind of man are you? When I said that I don’t love you anymore, you splashed hot water on me. You psychopath, now my life is ruined!”
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, lifting the bandage off her face.
Under it was her scalded face. One would’ve instantly known that they were burnt scars. There were patches of them and it looked horrible on her.
Steven’s jaw dropped and his eyes were wide open.
He didn’t expect that Kesha would look like this. At that moment, he indeed was a mad dog. His heart was burning with so much jealousy that all he wanted to do was to burn her with boiling water.
“Kesha…”
“Shut up!” Kesha said and gave a sinister cackle.
“Today is the day you’ll pay for what you’ve done!” She slid out a knife from the sleeve of her long skirt when Amos wasn’t paying attention…
…
When Eudora woke up in the morning, Cindy told her that Amos had left the house to run some errands.
Amos had been keeping her company recently, so it was understandable that he had something important to attend to. Therefore, Eudora just nodded and went downstairs to have breakfast.
After having breakfast, she reached out for the newspaper on the table as usual.
Since being with Amos, she had developed the habit of reading the newspaper while eating. Especially now that she was pregnant, she had nothing better to do since she had every minute to spend!
Eudora initially wanted to read the latest newspaper. However, there wasn’t a single sheet of the latest newspaper on the table.
“Was the newspaper today not delivered over?” Eudora asked.
Cindy was stunned. She recalled Amos’ orders and shook her head. “Yes, it’s here. But I used it to clean the windows this morning! I’m sorry, Mrs. Granger…”
Eudora was never a petty person. She would reprimand someone over a matter as trivial as that.
“It’s fine! Wiping the windows with newspapers is indeed a brilliant idea. Perhaps I’ll watch some TV. Do you mind playing that recent sci-fi drama for me…”
Cindy shook her head again and said, “Mrs. Granger, the Internet at home is currently being repaired. I’ll play the DVD for you instead!”
Eudora immediately sensed that something wasn’t right. All these were too much of a coincidence.
