Monique signaled to her men, who were hiding behind her, and pressed her hand on Nelson's shoulder. Her men came out and fought with the intruders, successfully driving them out in the end. At the sight of that, Nelson became even more convinced of his own judgement. Monique would certainly not believe anyone that easily. All of that had just been to gauge whether he would truly stand by her side. As he was thinking about that, Monique had already hugged him from behind. "Thank you, Nelson." A hint of disgust flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it. He stepped back a little inconspicuously, saying, "Are you okay? Don't get me wrong. It's not that I was eager to save you. I'm just doing so because we are partners now, and partners should help each other." If he appeared to be too affectionate at that moment, he would look pretentious. He might as well play hard to get. Perhaps that way, Monique would think that he was be
Amos nodded with satisfaction before agreeing, "That's more like it! It's just that there will be a marathon being held in Rosaville City in the next few days. Take care of your own safety, and be careful not to cause chaos among the civilians." "I'll be careful!" After saying that, Naomi bowed to Amos. "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry that I've let you two worry about me." Then, she turned around and went upstairs. After she left, Eudora asked, "Has she pulled herself together?" Amos shook his head and said, "Judging by her distressed look and her keenness to catch him personally, it goes without saying that she's still not over him." Eudora sighed, and then looked at Amos intently, as if she had recalled something. "Wait, you seem to be able to read Naomi's mood quite well. From whom did you learn such a skill from?" Staring at Eudora, who was beginning to grow jealous all of a sudden, he was dumbfounded. "What are you thinking about?"
Leon answered Eudora's question with a dignified expression. "To be honest, your health isn't in good condition." Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She asked anxiously, "What do you mean?" Leon pursed his lips and explained, "You've sustained many injuries before. I can see that you have been taking good care of yourself these years." "Nevertheless, you might find that you're unable to do things as well as you wish because of your age. Have you been stressed lately? Your heart doesn't seem to be in good condition either. Although it won't cause you too many problems for the time being, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible!" Eudora asked, "Then, will any other problems surface for the time being?" "That shouldn't be the case, but you should pay attention to your own mental state as well." Eudora nodded and said, "Alright!" She didn't want to leave this world yet as she still had her lover and children. "I'll pay attentio
After Amos got home in the evening, he went to find Eudora as usual. He happened to bump into Charlie, who was in the house that day. Charlie said, "Mr. Granger, Madam is in the yard!" Although he was already used to looking for Eudora as soon as he returned home, he still felt a little embarrassed to show his attachment to his wife in front of his subordinates. After all, he still had some dignity to preserve. "I-I'm not looking for her!" Charlie nodded straightforwardly and asked, "Oh, okay! Mr. Granger, what are you looking for then? I'll help you." "No, thanks. I'm going upstairs to read." After that, he pretended to go upstairs. He had only taken a few steps up the stairs before he stopped to look back. Charlie was still standing there. Seeing that he stopped walking, Charlie asked, "Mr. Granger, what can I do for you?" Amos furrowed his brow tightly and replied, "It's nothing." After Amos left, Cindy couldn't help
Eudora shook her head and said, "No, I was just thinking that you're getting cuter and cuter!" "Cute?" To Amos, it sounded like she was making fun of him. "Do you think I'm not tough enough now?" Eudora was puzzled, she asked, "What?" Amos asked again, "Do you think, uh, I'm not manly?" Upon hearing his question, she burst into an enormous belly laugh. "Ha ha, why do you think so? 'Cute' is not a word to describe only women. I like the current you a lot!" He was somewhat relieved by her answer. "Do you really like the current me?" "Of course! Your ebullience makes me feel at ease, and it doesn't make me feel inferior to you. To me, you are more approachable this way." "Okay!" replied Amos. Everything would be fine with him as long as Eudora liked it. After that, both of them continued to bend down and play with Cola. When it was getting dark, Cindy came over to call them after preparing dinner. Cola was also
Nelson thought that he needed to have a long talk with Monique in order to persuade her to let him drive. However, she simply agreed to it without consideration for too long. It was probably due to the fact that they were running out of time. Soon, the group of people quickly got into the car and left. ...... It was Rosaville City's annual international marathon. As early as a few months ago, people in Rosaville City had already begun to prepare for it. The route of the marathon included the main roads of Rosaville City, from the center of the city to some famous tourist attractions in Rosaville City. Even if no obstacles were being set on the roads, there were still many people. There were a lot of tourists, spectators, participants and their families along the way. Their car gradually was unable to move anymore because of the congestion caused by the crowd. Nelson was forbearing, but the rest of the people in the car were impatien
Being pushed suddenly, Jim fell straight back to the seat behind him. It hurt so much that he grimaced in pain. "F*ck! Who was the one who pushed..." Before he could finish his words, he was shocked by Monique's glare. Monique looked completely different from before. She looked so unapproachable that the cold look in her eyes could make anyone's blood run cold. Petrified, Jim sat back silently. There were police officers from the other side coming towards them as they noticed their vehicle's abnormal behavior. Nelson pretended to attempt an escape by turning the steering wheel. It was just that the police were faster. As he expected, the police reached them and stopped their car, saying, "Who are you? Don't you know that there's an event here today? Why are you still driving here? Show me your license!" Nelson gave Monique an inquiring look, and she looked back at him too. Then, she threw him a driving license and said,
Nelson shouted loudly when Naomi was walking towards them. "Don't come over here!" Naomi was confounded for a moment. In the next second, she saw Jim who was behind Nelson. In the blink of an eye, she raised her hand and threw out the mobile phone in her hand. Consequently, the windscreen was shattered into numerous glass fragments, scattering all over the inside of the car. Jim retreated to the back seat of the car to avoid getting wounded. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nelson opened the door and jumped out. Doubtlessly, he was caught by the police as soon as he came out. ...... At the same time, Monique was in deep thought inside the car. Jim, who had failed to finish off Nelson in time, became restless. "D*mn it! Boss, what should we do now?" Monique frowned before she yelled out of the blue. "Sit tight!" Then, before anyone could notice it, she hastily jumped from the passenger seat to the driver's seat
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
