Monique was dumbfounded as the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Besides, those who thought that the Granger family's reputation was finally going to be besmirched were all stunned too. Even Nelson didn't see it coming. He sent a message to Richard, "Hold on first!" Naomi was also bemused. The lawyer asked curiously, "Madam, what do you mean?" Carol pursed her lips before saying, "Indeed, she is my husband's superior, but she didn't force us to do anything. My husband was wronged! She was also wronged!" Naomi could feel tears welling up in her eyes. The lawyer continued to ask, "However, several witnesses have already testified, claiming that their superior was the one who forced their husbands to commit the crime. How do you explain this?" "It's only because we were forced by a woman. She came to us and told us that she has intel and dirt on all of us. She threatened to send my brother to prison unless I do as she said." Th
Naomi asked curiously, "What about her?" "She... She is actually plotting to bring down the entire Granger family. She's just targeting you because of convenience. That's why you're in quite some danger recently. You must listen to me and protect yourself." Naomi nodded and continued asking, "Wait. But, how do you know so clearly?" Nelson grew nervous. In the end, he still didn't tell her the truth. "That's because she is my neighbour. I found something wrong with her, so I decided to look her up beforehand. Your father knows about it too." Naomi remembered that day when Amos mentioned Monique's name in the study room. She gasped in realization, "He didn't even tell me!" "He is afraid that you might be worried, and he doesn't want you to be involved in the underhanded clash with her. With regards to this, I agree entirely with him. I wouldn't have told you all this if it weren't because I had no other choice." Naomi rolled her eyes at him and s
Benedict said, "I'm telling the truth." "I've thought it through. Perhaps it's because I've died once, but instead of wasting my life to pursue someone who can't put me in their eye, it's better to devote my time to other meaningful commitments. I have been in poor health since I was a child. If it weren't for my parents, who kept on saving me again and again, I would have truly died." "I noticed that Mom has seemed to age a lot when I woke up just now. I feel extremely guilty for that. Therefore, I'm sorry!" "Naomi, I said that I would love you forever, but I might now need to quit that mission early!" Although his words were not pleasant to the ear, Naomi was overjoyed for him from the bottom of her heart. Naomi gave him a sincere grin while saying, "It's okay! No matter where you go, I hope you'll always be happy and able to make your wishes come true!" Benedict nodded and replied, "Alright, you too!" "Yes, I will!" "So, when do you wa
Benedict was discharged after recuperating for about half a month in the hospital. After that, he went abroad as fast as he could to pursue his goal in his own life. Meanwhile, the case of the Granger family gradually simmered down. After investigating for a period of time, Samuel found some evidence. Although he had not found the mastermind, he managed to find information regarding Walter and how he and the few others were framed. They were successfully released afterwards. The media's criticism against the Granger family had finally come to an end too. ...... In Valiant East, Amos was standing by the window with his back facing the door of his office. Clint was reporting to him. Clint was reporting to him, "Everything is going smoothly except for the project at the construction site. We haven't found the relevant person-in-charge yet. The purchasing records of that batch of materials wasn't reported to the company's financial department
Eudora burst into laughter while saying, "Nonsense! He won't do that." "Won't he? I think he is expressing his envy for Clint, who has a wife that sends him lunch." Eudora was speechless. She then replied, "When he gets back later, I'll tell him what you have commented on him." "Madam, please don't tell him. I'm afraid that he will glare at me." "Then, don't make fun of him! He's really fierce." ...... At the same time, Amos was still upset after hanging up the phone. He wondered why Eudora failed to understand him anymore. He was so exasperated that he decided to ignore her for a while. Consequently, he directly turned off his mobile phone. When Eudora came back to her senses and wanted to apologize to him, her call would not get through. In this way, the seriousness of the situation would dawn on her. Five minutes later, he picked up his mobile phone again. "Wait, if that's the case, I won't know if she calls me. Maybe
Exasperated, Eudora said, "Alright, stop the flattery. I'll go up and take a look first!" Shortly afterwards, a throng of people entered the company and went upstairs. The security guard, who was new to the company, was left confused. "Who is this? Is she Mr. Granger's mother? She's so young!" ...... A large group of people accompanied Eudora all the way to the president's office. However, there was not a single person near his office. Everyone was too scared to stay there. All the secretaries in the secretariat were alert and tense, as if they were facing their deaths soon. Eudora was trying hard not to laugh at their exaggerated reactions. She happened to bring quite a lot of desserts, therefore she left some of them at the secretariat. "Feel free to have a taste!" Everyone was still scared, so they said, "Thank you, we're not hungry!" Eudora thought for a moment that perhaps she should let Amos give them the desserts
Seeing how bemused Clint was, Amos explained himself. "It's just that your skin looks healthy and glossy." Clint was staggered. Amos' words sounded so weird to him. It seemed even more weird now that Amos was approaching him while speaking. At the sight of that, Clint instantly put his arms around his chest. "I can't do that. I only have Anya in my heart!" Amos was rendered speechless. "Shut up! Do you think that I'm interested in you?" Clint was puzzled, so he asked, "What is it then? You're coming so close to me. It's easy for me to get the wrong idea, isn't it?" "Eudora said that your skin is pretty good, so I want to know how you take care of it." Only then did Clint come to a realization. He thought to himself, "Ah, now I understand. That's right! He loves Eudora so much, so how could he be interested in me?" After that, he replied, "I'm not very certain about that. Anya chose the products for me. I'll go back
Naomi was so frustrated when she saw the news that had come out the next day. The photos of her untidy appearance had been posted online. Fortunately, she had an innate beauty. There were people commenting that she still looked good without any make-up. Nevertheless, those photos would remain as her dark past forever. Amos and Eudora had originally no intentions of interfering with their matters. Therefore, it was ultimately up to Naomi to decide on her own. Naomi certainly was incredibly pleased to accept his proposal. Naomi buried her face in her hands while lying on her bed, recalling what Nelson had said on the previous day. "Naomi, will you marry me? I know that I may not be excellent enough, but I really want to protect you. So, please give me an opportunity to do so." She rolled around on the bed and looked at the date on the calendar, where a red circle had been drawn to highlight it. Half a month later, it would be her enga
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
