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
"Something came up. I might need to go back to Greene City." Naomi told Eudora. Initially, she had thought that Eudora's condition was incredibly serious, therefore she had come back. In the end, when she returned, Eudora had told her that her health was not in poor condition. It seemed that Amos had said so to make Sugar Bun come back to get married. If Eddison was opposed to the matter, it might not be able to be solved in a short amount of time. In that case, she could return to Greene City to deal with the matters there before returning again! "Did something happen?" Eudora pulled her back. Naomi's face did not look too good. "It's fine, it's not a big deal!" "Naomi, don't lie to me! You were never one to get easily distracted. It's understandable that you don't want us to interfere in your personal affairs, but you are at home now. How can I be rest assured if you don't tell me clearly?" Naomi then said, "I met an annoying guy,
Eddison was incredibly thirsty, therefore he opened the bottle of water. He drank half of the bottle and felt much better. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you." "I don't think you're a construction worker. You look so delicate and fragile. Are you here to inspect the site? You should have asked them to find someone to bring you in so that you would not have ended up like this." Eddison was a little agitated. "I'm not delicate and fragile!" he exclaimed at her. The woman chuckled before she said, "I'm sorry! Then, please don't climb over the wall. They will be back after lunch!" Instead of climbing over the wall, Eddison found a place with a shade and sat down. As he looked up, he saw that the woman was drawing, which piqued his curiosity. "Are you a worker here?" "Sort of!" she answered absent-mindedly, her mind still on her work. Eddison could not help but mutter, "Why don't you find an easier job? Isn't this job too tiring
Eddison casually turned his head and said, "No, you didn't!" Upon hearing his voice, Rachel looked at his face clearly. She said, "It's you?" She seemed to be a little surprised. The way she smiled was much more genuine than the standard smile of a notable young lady. Jarred was happy to hear that. "Why? Do you two know each other?" he asked. Rachel cheered up and said with a smile, "We just met at the construction site! Hello, I'm Rachel!" Remembering her help at the construction site, Eddison reached out to shake hands with her and said, "Thank you for what you did just now!" "You're welcome!" Rachel said with a smile. Then, she turned around and changed into her previous kind demeanor. "Dad, I'll ask them to serve the dishes!" Jarred nodded with satisfaction as he replied, "Okay!" During the meal, Jarred and Amos made excuses to leave after only a few bites. In the end, only Eddison and Rachel were left. Eddison did not hav
Eddison was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned with a disgusted expression. Unexpectedly, that innocent-looking woman had complained about his behavior behind his back. Sure enough, he should not have trusted Rachel! He became impatient and said, "She is an adult, and it was still daytime. Why did I have to send her back? I had something else to do!" "Keep your mouth shut!" Amos said coldly, "There's no one as irresponsible as you in the Granger family! You'd better apologize to Rachel immediately! Otherwise, you're not allowed to enter the gates of the Granger family!" "I won't do it!" Eddison stiffened his neck and added, "I didn't do anything wrong! Why should I apologize?" "Fine! You're not going to apologize? Then, don't regret it!" Eddison went straight to his room upstairs. "I won't regret it. There's no way that will happen!" he thought. When Eudora saw them arguing so loudly, she wanted to chase after Eddison. Howeve
"No, I'm not in any trouble. I'm just helping a schoolmate!" Eddison gave Christopher an explanation. "What schoolmate?" Christopher was curious so he asked, "A girl? I heard that Amos is preparing for your engagement. Does he know about this?" No wonder he was a businessman, as Christopher was amazingly sharp! He could see through Eddison immediately. Eddison frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll figure it out by myself!" "Eddison..." Christopher was about to chase after him when Eddison slammed the door and left. The sound woke Tina up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. "Hubby, I'm hungry!" Christopher's eyes immediately softened as he replied, "The food will be ready soon! It's your favorite dish! Wait in the living room for a while." Tina nodded. Then, she recalled the voice she had just heard and asked curiously. Then, she recalled the voice she had just heard and asked curiously, "Did Eddison come just now? Why
Naomi looked at Culver, who was closing in on her, with vigilance. Subconsciously, she stretched out her arms to protect herself. "Let me tell you, a gentleman does not attack a woman! If you dare to attack me, I will definitely not forgive you!" Culver glanced at her and saw that she was getting closer and closer to him. Naomi had known that Culver was stronger than her. Culver did not take her seriously at all. Once he were to get serious, a powerful man like him would definitely have the upper hand in a fight. At that moment, Naomi waved her fist towards Culver. However, Culver held her wrist easily. Then as he got closer and closer, Naomi's heart could not help thumping. Culver was already dressed in his pajamas. At the moment, his collar was wide open. As he walked closer and closer, his handsome face in front of her also drew closer and closer. Danger was getting closer and closer as well! "D-don't come any closer! Other
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
