One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos held Eudora’s head and kissed her back with a smile.

“You see, Juju? We’re good.”

Juju finally smiled. She then walked over to Amos and Eudora. She held their hands and went to the dining table together.

It was a weekend that day. Therefore, the two of them played with Juju after breakfast.

However, Eudora seemed to be in a world of her own. Juju called her several times in between but it seemed as though she was spacing out most of the time.

Amos sighed helplessly and took the toy from her, “Is it that hard for you to trust me?”

Eudora was stunned. She nodded when she realized what Amos was talking about. “I still have some difficulties believing you. After all, she had saved your life before.”

Five years ago, he was willing to throw his life away for Wendy Liam. How was Eudora going to believe that he was willing to punish Wendy?NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Amos’ heart sank. At the end of the way, Wendy was still the one thing that separated them.

Amos pondered for a moment before he spoke.

“Clint is going to the police station later to hand over some evidence. You can tag along if you want.”

Eudora was taken aback for a moment but she quickly nodded and agreed, “Okay!”

She still could not believe him!

Amos then made a phone call to Clint.

…

Eudora could not stop talking once she got into the car.

“How much evidence do you guys have?”

Clint said truthfully, “It should be sufficient. We had never suspected Miss Liam previously. However, the truth had come into light this time because of Caleb. For example, the bus accident years ago, as well as the swapping of the corpses.”

Eudora inhaled sharply. She could not believe that Wendy already had the intention to get rid of her from that long ago.

Seeing that Eudora did not respond to him, Clint thought that she was frightened. Hence, he shouted hurriedly, “Miss George, are you alright?”

“What kind of punishments will she receive?”

Eudora was not afraid but it gave her goosebumps when she thought about it now. Fortunately, luck was on Juju’s side that day.

She hoped that a vicious woman like her would be severely punished!

Clint thought for a moment and said, “She might not the mastermind but she’s still an accomplice. She’ll probably be in jail for a long time! Don’t worry.”

“Is she only going to be sentenced to jail time?” Eudora frowned and said, “Lots of people lost their lives on the bus that day! Can’t she be sentenced to death?”

Clint stared at Eudora in awe as though this was his first time meeting her.

The Eudora he once knew might have her own principles but she was never a cruel person!

Eudora seemed to have read his mind and she continued, “Everyone deserved to be punished for their mistakes. That’s how things should be!”

She was right! In fact, Clint had thought so too but he just found it a little strange coming from Eudora.

However, it was inexplicably cool when she said it!

“We’ll do our best! However, we only have evidence to prove that she is an accomplice.”

“Okay!”

…

Wendy was temporarily detained as she was suspected to be involved in a criminal case.

Amos and Eudora did not see her when they arrived at the police station. They only assisted in the investigation by providing files of information and giving their statement.

Eudora stated everything she knew and even mentioned that she had suspected that it was Wendy who was behind the kidnapping of her child.

Harley happened to be in charge of the case. He was furious as well when he heard Eudora’s testimony.

“Sh*t, so it turned out to be her that night. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to include this in the investigation. Rest assured, I will not let her escape!”

“Is that so? Then why did I hear that Caleb had escaped?”

Oh, the jibe from Eudora! Harley could not help but feel a little embarrassed.

“Stop it, alright? That was an exception because Wendy covered up for him.”

Eudora was surprised. She asked, “Wendy covered up for him? Was their relationship that good?”

Harley’s eyes lit up upon hearing her words. Immediately, he turned to say to his colleague next to him, “Tell our men to be careful. Caleb might find a way to save Wendy.”

“Yes, sir!”

After that, Harley sent Eudora off with joy in his eyes.

“Amos has finally come to his senses huh? It seems that your relationship is improving too, right?”

Eudora frowned and said, “You know what, I don’t think you should be an officer, instead, it would be better for you to be a reporter, don’t you think so? I think you’re more busybody than the paparazzi!”

“I just care about the news between the two of you! It’s not like I’m interested in everyone’s private affairs! When will you be inviting me to your wedding then? I’ve been waiting for ages.”

“Well then, you should continue waiting!” Eudora said without hesitation.

Harley did not know what to say.

Eudora turned around and left before Harley could react. He was about to catch up with her when his colleague tapped his shoulder from behind.

“I have news from Interpol. According to them, they caught the woman behind the basement kidnapping case in Brooklyn. They found a lot of pictures of children who were locked up in the basement from her residence. They asked us if we could find those children and request them to go to court as witnesses.”

“Is that so? Let me take a look.”

They marched into the police station as they were discussing the case.

Eudora paused after eavesdropping on their conversation. She did not know why but she found herself following after them.

Her memory had not fully recovered yet. She knew that what happened back then was probably very terrible but she did not want to stay in the dark forever.

…

Harley stood in the office with a thick stack of photos in front of him.

He looked through them one by one and hid Amos’ photo when the others were not paying attention.

Then, he gave the rest of the photos to his colleagues and said, “Look for the relevant information and update me of the progress.”

Harley then turned around. He was shocked when he saw Eudora standing behind him. He quickly composed himself and said smilingly, “Did you already leave?”

“Oh, I recalled something with regards to the case so I came back here. Are you all working on a big case?”

“Yeah!” Harley nodded and answered.

“It could be a big case but I still have to eat. I remember saying that I would go to your house to have a meal, so why don’t I drop by today?”

Eudora nodded and said, “Okay!”

They then left the building together. Eudora told Clint where she was going before hopping into Harley’s car. They then drove off to Clearwater Bay.

While they were on the road, Eudora tried to find an opportunity to ask Harley about the case.

“I think I saw you guys looking through a bunch of photos just now. Does your department also look for missing children?”

“We have no choice, do we? There are still criminal cases involving children!”

“What kind of case is it?”

Harley glanced at Eudora and asked, “Are you interested in this too?”

“I’m just asking!” Eudora said hurriedly.

Harley paused and said, “It’s a pedophile case that had happened overseas but it’s been going on for a long time now. You can look it up online if you’re interested.”

“There’s nothing much on the internet!” Eudora blurted out.

Harley looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Do you know something?”

Eudora was stunned and she immediately explained, “No! I was just curious because it involves innocent children.”

She did not know why but deep in her heart, she did not want others to know that she used to be one of them. Perhaps, this was a sense of inferiority? After all, It was Wendy who saved Amos back then, not her.

If Eudora had been braver at that time, perhaps there would not be anything that would stand between her and Amos.
