After Loraine left, Naomi immediately called Culver. At that time, Culver was attending a group meeting of the company. In the meeting room, all employees from various departments were also present. Moreover, someone was proposing that every new employee of the company should sign a solo contract. The requirement of the contract was that the new employees who did not have boyfriends were not allowed to get into a relationship within the first two years of joining the company, and employees with boyfriends were not allowed to get pregnant within the same period of time! If the requirement was not met, the company was allowed to dismiss them in accordance with the agreement. When everyone heard of the proposal, they had many complaints, but Culver was right in front of them. Therefore, no one dared to say anything even if they felt angry. Each and every one of them had terrible expressions on their faces. At that moment, a phone rang. The f
"So, you'll allow me to go to work and make money?" Naomi was not bothered to terminate the debt. She was no longer a child, and she knew that she should take responsibility for her actions. Furthermore, there was no such thing as a free meal in the world. Culver raised his eyebrows and eventually rejected her offer. "No! Your top priority right now is to cook." D*mn it! Naomi cursed him a hundred times in her heart, but when he hung up the phone, she was still angry. Coincidentally, Loraine was back. "Miss George, I've bought the ingredients according to your orders. What can I help you with?" Naomi wanted to say that she would not cook. However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly thought of something. Then, she changed her mind. "It's okay. There's no need for that. You can go and do your work! I'll cook!" While she was in the kitchen, Naomi did not hesitate to season the dishes as she cooked. She added
The worked up feeling in Naomi's heart was quickly driven away, and she shook her head to refuse Culver's request. "Forget it! Didn't you just have an infusion? You won't starve to death if you don't eat. Go to sleep!" "I'm hungry!" He was still repeating the same sentence. Naomi held her forehead. At that moment, Culver's phone rang. He held his hand out but could not reach the phone. Out of kindness, Naomi handed him his phone and helped him put the call on speaker mode. The next second, she heard Aaron's voice coming from the other side. "Mr. Culver, I've done what you've asked me to do. The other party has promised to continue their cooperation with Miss George and her company." Stunned, Naomi looked at Culver suspiciously. Culver responded to Aaron with a hum in assent. He instructed Naomi, "End the call." Naomi reached out and pressed the 'disconnect' button. She opened her mouth in hesitation, "Is it the p
Culver bowed to Marilyn and said, "I'm sorry that you had to come all the way here. I'm alright now, Mother. Don't worry!" Marilyn frowned and took another look at Naomi, who was in a daze. "Miss George, what do you think?" Naomi was stunned. Why was she asking her about that? "I... About this..." "It seems that this matter was caused by Miss George, right? I should have known. Culver was fine for so many years. Why did something happen to him as soon as Miss George came? Do you know that Culver is in poor health? You shouldn't have replaced the nutritionist just because you were capricious!" Naomi was confused. She was indeed a scapegoat! Initially, she wanted to retort, but then she thought about the matter. Although she was not the one who had fired the nutritionist Culver's illness was indeed caused by her. She looked at Culver, who was still sick, and his lips were pale. Moreover, she was glad that Culver had introduced a
In the end, Naomi did not cook risotto. She only made a simple bowl of oatmeal. When Loraine saw this, she immediately went to look for the ingredients to prepare some side dishes. "Young Master Culver's favorite Trigreat Brand's snacks have finished, so I will buy some immediately." Naomi froze for a moment before saying, "Aren't you taking things a little too far? Trigreat Brand does not have any exclusive stores in this area. It will take you a few hours to get there and back!" "How will Young Master Culver eat without any snacks?" "Do we have zucchini?" Naomi said in a light tone. "I think I saw a small zucchini in the refrigerator just now! I'll go and get it!" "Ah?" Loraine hesitated and said, "But Young Master Culver does not like zucchini!" "You forgot that his taste in food has changed!" Loraine realized that and did not stop her. She went to get the zucchini and washed them clean. When she was about to cut them, Naomi stop
Doctor Leon sighed. In the end, he said only one sentence, "People are like candles. One day, all their tears for that one person will disappear." ...... Eudora laid on the bed for half a day in a daze. She felt as if her palm was being held tightly by something, and she was sweating profusely. She struggled for a while as she felt a little uncomfortable, and then she heard the gentle voice of Amos. Then, she heard Amos' gentle voice, "You're awake?" Eudora opened her eyes. It was dark in the room, and no lights were turned on. However, she still noticed Amos's eyes at a glance. They looked moist. "What's the matter?" she asked. "I'm fine. Are you hungry? I'll ask Cindy to bring you something to eat." "It's okay, there's no need for that!" Eudora shook her head as she explained, "I'm not hungry yet!" Amos did not insist anymore. He held Eudora's hand and tucked her in. "You used to say that you wanted to live in th
After he shouted, Culver was still not satisfied. He took out his phone and was about to make a call to Aaron. In his territory, no one could ignore his words over and over again! He thought that he had given Naomi too many privileges. For example, he had forgiven her the last time and even helped her to solve the problems caused by her mistake. However, she had not cherished his good deed at all. That was right. There was no love in this world at all. Culver closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that dark night in his past. He was left alone on the mountain, covered in heavy rain and no one was paying attention to him. The heavy rain viciously pattered on his body, making him feel an immense amount of pain. However, his heart was suffering even more. Culver gritted his teeth and the call was connected. Before Aaron could open his mouth, Culver spoke fiercely. "I want Naomi George to pay the price!" Aaron was s
When Eudora walked into the study room, Amos was frowning and he looked a little frustrated. "What's wrong?" Eudora walked in with a cup of tea in her hand. Amos immediately straightened his back and sat down, saying, "Nothing's up! How are you feeling today?" "I'm fine!" Eudora shook her head and sat down beside Amos. "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you discuss with me about such a big decision? Sugar Bun is indeed still young. There's no hurry for him to get engaged!" At the mention of Eddison, Amos frowned again. "I've already made up my mind on this matter. Don't try to persuade me!" "Is it because of me?" Eudora asked. "If it is because of me, then there's no need for that at all. I'm really fine." "No!" Amos shook his head. He explained, "This is for the company's sake. I've selected the daughter of the Gellert family for him! I've seen that girl once. She's a good girl, and she's also Sugar Bun's schoolmate. I've also checked he
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
