At Valiant East, Bethany was hunching over her desk, her mind at a loss. At this moment, she saw Andrew entering her office proudly.

She was so angry that she threw a file in front of him directly.

"How dare you come back here? I'd told you to keep an eye on Amos, didn't I? Not only did you not do that, but you also tried to take advantage of those people. If it weren't for you, we would've defeated him by now! Now that we have already shown our cards, what do you think we should do now?"

Andrew would have been worried if he hadn't bumped into Clint the night before.

However, after having that close conversation with Clint, Andrew was sure that victory was at hand.

"Aunt Bethany, take a look at yourself. You're always so hot-tempered. You should see a doctor and check if you're on menopause!"

Bethany's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Andrew immediately stopped smiling, and he chuckled.

"Aunt Bethany, I have something here that you might want to take a look at. I guarantee that you will be pleased once you've seen it and all your troubles shall be gone."

Bethany looked at Andrew with suspicion. "Are you trying to play tricks on me again?"

Andrew smiled as he took out his phone, flipped to the audio recording file, and handed it to Bethany.

"Just listen to this..."

Soon, a familiar voice could be heard from the phone, "I've risked my life for him for so many years, yet he's doing this to me for the sake of a woman who has betrayed him. This is truly unbelievable!" Bethany was stunned. "Isn't this... Clint?"

Clint was Amos' trusted aide, so Bethany could recognize his voice instantly.

Her interest was immediately piqued. Did Clint have a fall out with Amos?

Andrew's chubby face was filled with joy, and he grinned from ear to ear. "There's more and I'm sure that you'd be excited to hear it!"

"I have done a lot of despicable things for him all these years. Since he's such an ungrateful person, then he shouldn't blame me for being unkind. There will be a day where I will reveal everything that he has done through the years."

His voice stopped abruptly. Bethany was a little disappointed.

"Why didn't you continue the conversation?"

Andrew sighed. "Well, I wanted to ask more, but he was already drunk. But, don't you worry, Aunt Bethany. Before I came back here, I went to investigate the things that had happened between Clint and Amos. Could you guess what I found?"

"What is it?" Bethany was puzzled.

"It turns out that Amos has been busy taking care of himself recently! I heard that he almost lost his life for Eudora. However, who knew that Eudora would turn around and betray him! Because of this, Amos suffered an episode of hematemesis and was admitted to the hospital to be treated. Aunt Bethany, this is the best chance for us to take action!"

Bethany was intrigued, her heart thumping with growing enthusiasm.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Aunt Bethany, as the Chairman of Valiant East, you should be bold and assertive. Since Clint has already fallen out with Amos, why don't we grab hold of this opportunity to get him to our side? Then, we could ask Clint to expose the bad things that Amos has done before. By then, we could just kick Amos out of the company openly!"

It seemed like a good idea, but Bethany felt that it was a little too good to be true.

It was her instinct as a woman. She felt that everything was going too smoothly.

"Are you sure that Clint had really betrayed him?"

"It's true, Aunt Bethany!" Andrew was very anxious. "I've tested him last night. He drank a lot of wine, so it was absolutely impossible that he was still sober. Those words must be his true feelings after drinking! I swear it on my life!"

Bethany rolled her eyes at him. "Stop being absurd. I don't need you to swear on your life."

Indeed, she couldn't help but feel anxious about all this. After all, she had been trying hard to prove herself for the longest time, especially in front of Amos, the son of her love rival.

Her love rival had taken away her position for more than half of her life.

Now, she wanted to get back the position that her son deserved!

After thinking about it, Bethany nodded again. "Alright, let's make an appointment with Clint. I'll meet this guy personally!"

Andrew was efficient. By noon, he had already made an appointment with Clint in a cafe not far away from the company. Bethany had come prepared as she had investigated Clint's background thoroughly. She went straight to the point as soon as she met him.

"I heard that you have been single all these years, Assistant Zuckerberg! You were willing to risk your life for Amos, but he didn't even think about your happiness! However, I am the Chairman of Valiant East and I have to consider the welfare of the company's employees! This is a new villa that was built by our company. I've got you the best of the lot. Here you go!"

Clint was already sober and he was more vigilant, unlike the drunken state he was in the night before. At this moment, he stared at the key in a daze.

"Madam Hamilton, I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand..."

"Look at you! What else could this be? I know that you are very loyal to Amos. I just hope that you could help him. Now, he has lost all control because of Eudora. I don't know what will happen in the future if no one is able to pull him back to reality in time! Do you understand what I mean?"

Clint shook his head frankly and said, "I don't understand."

Bethany was so angry that she had no choice but to ask Clint, "What do you think I'm trying to tell you?"

Clint looked at her coldly and said, "You want me to betray Amos and eventually seize the absolute power In the company!"

He was very straightforward and Bethany was flustered by his bluntness.

However, on second thought, she thought that he was being reasonable. Since he was Amos' assistant, he was probably aware of the ongoing fight between her and Amos. It was indeed a bit pretentious to tel him that she was worried about Amos.

Since Clint had made it clear, Bethany was not going to hide it anymore.

"It seems that you are going to reject my offer."

Clint nodded, "I intended to reject your offer, but..." His eyes turned to the property ownership certificate and the key that Bethany had prepared for him.

He tugged his lips and smiled, "I want five sets of this, and they need to be converted into cash for me."

Bethany snorted in her heart. She had thought that he was a loyal person, but in the end, he was just a greedy person.

Five villas that worth tens of millions of dollars.

She closed her eyes, and Andrew, who was next to her, immediately whispered, "Aunt Bethany, let's just agree to whatever he wants! This is a rare opportunity for us."

"Alright then!" Bethany nodded. "Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush then. I will give you what you want, but I want to see the results immediately as well. Shall we do it tomorrow? Let's get it done right away instead of delaying it any longer and risk getting ourselves into any trouble."

Clint nodded. "Since it's your request, Madam Hamilton, I shall not refuse it then. However, once I've done this, I could no longer work for President Granger. I hope that I could see the money before tomorrow morning, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will not go back on my words."

Bethany gritted her teeth again. She had always fallen into Amos' traps in the past, and she couldn't believe that she had to listen to one of his subordinates' orders this time around.

Bethany was indignant, but when she thought about how Amos, her ultimate enemy, could be removed from the company very soon, she was happy again.

"I'll have someone to send the keys to you once I get back. I'll see you at the company tomorrow at 9 a.m.!"
