Evan was still her client, therefore Naomi certainly did not dare to say that. "I thought that we had agreed to finalize our cooperation today, therefore..." "Yes, we are finalizing the deal! I have all my things ready, and I'm just waiting to talk to Miss George about some details!" Naomi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, please ask away, Mr. Louis!" Evan saw this, tilted his head and looked at Naomi for a while. "Miss George, why are you sitting so far away from me? How are we supposed to discuss like this? Please come closer." Naomi had her mind fully focused on work so she did not think much about it. She immediately moved forward, but still kept a normal distance from him. Seeing that, Evan moved himself forward and approached Naomi. There was only a small distance between the two of them. Naomi felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously moved back a little, but Evan leaned forward again. His voice was not quite the same as before,
Naomi gritted her teeth in anger. If it were her usual self, she would have kicked him. However, if she were to do it, doing so would only make her even more embarrassed! Therefore, she had to bear with it. She quickly tidied up her clothes and walked towards the door. However, before she could make it all the way out, Evan caught up with her again. "Hey, you can't leave just like this! Our business here isn't over yet!" Naomi frowned, "There's nothing more to say between us. This project is cancelled!" "That can't do either. We've agreed on the project. If you cancel it by yourself, you will have to pay the termination fee!" "Y-you're shameless!" Naomi shouted angrily. It was probably because Evan was used to committing such things, therefore he did not feel ashamed at all. He even laughed shamelessly upon hearing her . "You can curse all you want. In short, it's impossible for Louis Group to suffer any losses!" "You... "
Since there was no one in the Granger family, Eddison stayed in the Gellert family's residence. Due to the pressure, the two of them had to stay in the same room together. When they got up in the morning, he found that he was alone in the room. The housekeeper told him that Rachel had gone out early in the morning. Eddison kept himself busy with his homework for a while. When he went downstairs again, it was already noon, but Rachel still had not returned. At that moment, Rachel was in a coffee shop, and her heart was filled with sorrow. In the beginning, when she heard what Bianca said, she felt incredibly upset. She wondered if Bianca had stayed at home for too long, and had begun to think nonsense. Therefore, she had not acted rashly in the beginning. She wanted to find out what was going on. However, after she waited for a few days, there was not much news from Jarred. So, she decided to investigate her father's secretary, Jessica and found
Rachel stood there and could not move at all, as if she had grown roots. She watched as the red figure walked through the door, beaming in youthfulness, and then slowly walked in towards the place where she had just come out from. From where she stood, she could see what was happening behind the glass wall. She saw that after Jessica entered the room, Jarred placed the bouquet of flowers in front of her. Jessica lowered her head and flirted with him, and then the two of them walked to the table and sat down with smiles on their faces. Jarred took out a gift from his pocket and gave it to Jessica. During the whole process, both of them were full of smiles. Outsiders who did not know the situation better would think that they were a happy couple. However, Rachel thought of what Jarred had just said. He said he was unwilling to go home because while he was exhausted from work, what welcomed him home was Bianca's frowning face. It was really
Rachel had never expected that human nature could be so sinister. It was true that she had been well-protected for the first half of her life. Who would have thought that a person who used to speak kindly would make a move on her all of a sudden in broad daylight? The kick was so strong that she could not stand up due to the pain. She could only kneel on the ground desperately to relieve the pain. Jessica was not done yet. After the kick, she did not forget to leave behind more harsh words. "If you dare, go in and tell your father that I was the one who kicked you. Do you think he will help you?" After that, she left with a smile. Rachel could not do anything. She knelt down for a while and could not get up at all. Whenever she moved, she felt a head-splitting headache. It was not easy for her to get back up but then she fell again. She felt that she really was unlucky. Not only was she hit by that shameless woman, she was about to
"Mr. Gellert..." Jarred wanted to save her, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only stay mad at Eddison. Seeing that, Jessica had no choice but to beg for mercy. "I'm in the wrong! I was wrong, don't hit me!" Rachel slapped her again, but her strength was still a little weak. "This slap is for myself! You'd better watch your back!" After that, she turned around and left. Eddison hurriedly followed behind her. In the room, Jessica watched as they left and then looked at Jarred with tears in her eyes. "It hurts so much. It's killing me." Jarred was so ashamed that he had lost his face, and his mind became much clearer. At that moment, he started to have some doubts. "Was what Rachel said just now true?" Just then, Jessica had no choice but to admit to the truth, but at the moment, there were only two of them in the room, how could she admit to it? She leaned into Jarred's arms again and said,
After saying that, Rachel strode away. Truth be told, she felt a bit disgusted with herself. She had been so upfront when she was talking about Bianca's matter but when it came to her own affairs, she was not straightforward at all. That was the human heart. She did not want to walk the same path as Bianca, therefore she forced herself not to turn back. As long as she did not look back, she would not have any reason to go back. Rachel walked aimlessly alone on the road. Her mind was filled with words that Bianca had said to her since she was a child. "You have to behave yourself." "You have to be ladylike because you're a young lady from a respectable family." "You have to be virtuous and graceful!' "In the future, you have to be a good wife and mother." When she was a child, she did not understand, and she would ask in confusion. "Mom, if I behaved like a lady from a respectable family who was virtuous and gracefu
After Naomi successfully entered the office, Aaron made his escape. The two people stood in silence, neither of them saying a word. Naomi stood right in front of Culver's office table, while Culver lowered his head as he read the documents. He didn't lift his head to greet her. After a long time, Naomi took a deep breath and summoned her courage to start the conversation. "Thank you for what happened last time. I came here today because I want to reimburse you for the damage to your car last time. I've brought the money, and I'll give it to you now!" Hearing that, Culver's fingers suddenly stopped in their writing. He knew that she had no money. Otherwise, she would not have gotten into such a mess with Evan a few days ago because of the project. The Granger family was wealthy indeed, but with her personality, she would ask her family for money! So, had she suddenly become rich? A fit of anger suddenly rose in Culver's chest.
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
