Fortunately, when Leslie's car went down the ravine, there was no lake or mountain rock below. However, Leslie was old. He suffered a lumbar vertebrae fracture, but his life was not in danger. As he laid on the bed, he cursed. "When I find out who did this to me, I'll kill them!" Upon hearing his words, Samuel, who had just arrived from Greene City, gave him a pinch on his waist with no expression on his face. The next second, Leslie almost jumped up because of pain. "It hurts! You old man, do you want to pinch me to death?" Samuel rolled his eyes. "Since you know that you're old, don't try to be a hero! Do you still think that you're a young man in his twenties who can always fight and kill people? When something like this happens, you must remember that you should be working your brain, not your body!" "You're smart too, so why don't you think of a solution as well?" Samuel put his hand on his forehead and said, "That's why I'm he
When Nelson woke up in the morning, he received news of Leslie's car accident. As he looked at the news reported on the television, he knew very well who was behind it! However, he knew that arguing with her was useless. Monique had done so on purpose, not just to punish those who destroyed her plans. The accident was also a warning for him! Nelson clenched his fist, took a deep breath and got up to go to work. As expected, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Monique standing at the front of his door. "I'm going to have breakfast. Can I follow your car?" "No, you can't!" Nelson said in a cold voice. Monique was not angry. She said slowly, "It seems that you already know everything, yet you still can't learn to be cruel. It seems that what I've taught you has amounted to nothing in the past few years!" Nelson's heart held a ball of pent-up fire. Upon hearing her words, he became angry again. However, in the end, he he
Nelson stood up immediately. He turned around and ran downstairs while dialing the number on his phone. "Frida, what happened? How did Valiant East's project collapse?" On the other side of the phone, Frida was also dumbfounded. She said with shock in her voice, "Collapsed? No way!" "Now is not the time for you to have any suspicions. The news is out. Did Monique instruct you to do something again?" "No, she didn't, Mr. Luther! Miss Monique hasn't bothered about these things recently ever since you told her that you would take care of it yourself." "What about the materials?" "The materials were just as we arranged before! We would make them fail the standards required for the project and ruin their reputation. Could it be that the material supplier was lying?" Frida told Nelson everything, "However, wouldn't this help us finish our plan ahead of time? Weren't we hoping from the start that Valiant East would be destroyed?" Nelson's footst
After saying so, Nelson suddenly turned around and ran into the emergency room. The nurse quickly caught up to him and said, "Sir, please don't make trouble. It's a sterile space inside. You can't enter!" Truth be told, Nelson was not planning on going in. He just wanted to see with his own eyes that Naomi was still fine! He was still unable to believe it and could not accept the reality. They had agreed that they would be together in the future. Was she going to leave him just like that? While they argued, a sharp voice came from behind them. "All of you, stop right there!" The voice was so majestic and domineering that it stunned all of them in an instant. They followed the voice, turned around and saw Amos and Eudora walking towards them from the other end of the corridor. Clint, as if seeing his hero, quickly rushed forward. "President Granger, you're back?!" Amos took a sharp look at Nelson with a hint of reproach i
When the scene quieted down, Clint immediately took advantage of the moment and brought over the security personnel from the hospital to get rid of the reporters. "Mr. Granger, are you alright?" Clint asked. Amos's face didn't change as he replied, "Does it look like there is anything wrong with me?" "Of course not!" Clint shook his head. He knew that Amos was most concerned about the fact that he was getting old. Therefore, he did not want to point that fact out at that moment. However, Amos was still unhappy. He pressed his lips tightly together for a while. Then, he said, "Find out who Hogan Fisher is! How can such a person be qualified to be a reporter?" "Okay!" Clint nodded. Truth be told, Clint was thinking to himself that Amos was too protective of his family. The journalist was indeed a little annoying, and his words were unpleasant to the ear. However, there were many entertainment journalists who talked the sam
There was no way to ignore the passionate gazes of the two young people in the room. After Eudora spoke for a while, she took the initiative to find an excuse to go out. After Eudora left, Nelson stepped forward and grabbed Naomi's hand. "Naomi, how are you? Are you in pain?" Naomi had initially felt pain all over her body. The moment she was asked that question, the pain seemed to have disappeared in an instant like magic! "No, I don't feel pain anywhere." "Don't lie to me! I saw you. You have a lot of wounds on you. I'm so sorry." Nelson felt incredibly guilty, but in Naomi's eyes, she thought that he was acting this way because he did not protect her well. Therefore, she hurriedly shook her head. "This has nothing to do with you! Don't do this to yourself." Nelson's heart ached. When he saw her smile, he only felt worse. She trusted him so much, but he was doing all sorts of bad antics behind her back. "Naomi, believe me. I
Monique glared at Amos as she replied, "Of course I'll have to go back and have a look! However, Amos, I won't just sit quietly and wait for my doom! You're in trouble yourself! Let's see how you deal with this!" "You don't have to worry about me!" After saying that, Amos left with his men. Clint kept quiet until they got out of the house. "Why didn't we arrest Monique directly? She made our company suffer a lot this time. If we arrest her, we can explain to the media..." "Do we have any proof?" Amos asked. "No, we don't," Clint immediately shut up. "Nevertheless, we can still search for evidence. I'm sure we will be able to find some!" "It'll be very difficult!" Amos said in a low voice. "Now, other people are basically her scapegoats! Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant." "However, aren't we keeping her on guard by coming to see her?" "Not necessarily!" Amos said in a low voice. "For a woman like Monique, it
In the hospital, Naomi was feeling better. When Nelson arrived at the hospital, she was being brought by a nurse to bask in the sun. He walked towards her with a bouquet of roses in his hand. "This is for you!" Nelson said with a smile. "I saw a flower shop by the roadside, so I bought some for you!" Since they had been together in the ward recently, the nurse knew that they were lovers. When she saw this, she immediately stepped back. "I'm going to get something. You guys can talk!" After that, the nurse walked away. Nelson smiled at Naomi and asked, "So, where does Miss George want to go next?" Naomi shook her head and said, "Nowhere. Let's just sit here for a while!" They were on a bench in the flower garden of the hospital. The view of the place was gorgeous and there were many people passing by. Naomi looked at the view for a while, and suddenly she spotted a young couple talking to each other. In the hospital, due to the
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
