The adults quickly headed somewhere for a good chat. Meanwhile, Naomi was being approached by Harley's eldest son, Benedict Louis, also known as Cutie Pie. "Naomi!" Benedict's face was full of smiles as he said, "I went to watch the archery tournament that you mentioned last time. It just so happens that they'll be having a tour in Rosaville City a few days later. I've bought the tickets, so let's go together!" Naomi reached out and flicked him on the forehead, reprimanding, "What did you call me? Don't you know you should address me with respect?" Benedict rubbed his forehead and complained, "But you're not my sister! And you're not much older than me either!" "I'm six years older than you, isn't that considered much older? How rude!" Benedict only smirked as he whispered, "There are couples that get together although they are several years apart! And they're all doing fine too!" However, Naomi did not pay attention to him as her gaze was fixated o
The next morning, when Naomi arrived at the company, Clint was already waiting for her at the door. "Miss Naomi, you're here!" Naomi shook her head and said, "Uncle Clint, just call me casually! Didn't I tell my father not to trouble you?" "It's fine. I'll take you to your department." They walked together and noticed the staff in the project department had already started working already. Clint introduced Naomi to the manager of the department, "Madam Leon, this is Naomi George. She will be an intern reporting to you from today onwards. Please guide her well!" The manager of the department, Cynthia Leon, was dressed in a black suit. Her hair was tied up meticulously in a ponytail, while a large pair of dull, black-framed glasses rested on her nose. Upon hearing that, Cynthia glanced at Naomi seriously before shooting a look at Clint. "Assistant Zuckerberg, I'm afraid I can't guide her!" The rejection was sudden and unexpected. Na
It was only when Naomi stood in front of the man that she realized she looked strange. How could she idiotically come over and stare at him because of his expression? Just as she was thinking if she should flee the scene, the man spoke. "Are you Miss George?" Naomi was stunned and stammered, "You are..." "I'm your client from Inchee Company. My name is Nelson Luther!" Naomi was momentarily stunned, her heart feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and disappointment. Yet, it seemed to be reasonable. After all, the news of that person's death had been known more than a decade ago. He was no longer in this world. Even if she had met someone similar to him, it could never be him. "Miss George?" Nelson's voice rang again, dragging her out of her daze. "Oh yes. Hello, Mr. Luther!" "Hello!" Nelson shook her hand gently. His touch was adequate and polite. With that, Naomi's first impression of him was that he was a nice gentleman.
After Naomi left Inchee, her heart was still racing. It was not until she got into a cab that she touched her flushed cheeks. Oh god! What on earth did she do! That was so embarrassing! Though, she had to admit, Nelson... did seem somewhat familiar to her. She didn't really feel repulsive towards that idea either. Naomi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She took out her mobile phone and found that Eddison had not replied to her yet. Hence, she decided to call him. Unfortunately, she was directed to his voicemail, saying, "The number you have dialed is currently not reachable." Naomi frowned and thought to herself, "Could it be that his phone ran out of battery and he's still waiting there?" She then looked at her watch and found that the match was going to end soon. She still felt quite uneasy. With that, Naomi bought a cake from the roadside and rushed over there. As expected, Eddison was not at the entranc
The next day was the day for Sugar Bun to go abroad. The whole family went to see him off at the airport. On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora. On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora, "When a child grows up, he has to leave home to learn more things. Sugar Bun has always been treated well when he's with us. I have also made arrangements for him over there, so don't worry." Eudora promised to restrain her emotions till Sugar Bun passed the security checkpoint. She just reminded him to pay attention to his health and reminded him to give her a call when he arrived there. It was not until the figure of her son disappeared at the security checkpoint that tears started to well up Eudora's eyes. Amos saw her brooding eyes, therefore he reached out to hold her and tried to change the subject. "I just saw a bakery over there and they sell your favorite cake. I'll buy one for you!" Eudora sniffed and said, "Sugar Bun also likes tha
After looking at the building, Naomi took out her mobile phone to take photos, and then she edited them while walking. She was afraid that she would forget her ideas after a while, so she did it right away. This way she could directly send them to the designer afterwards. She was focusing on her phone that she did not notice the existence of a stone beside her, therefore she stumbled and fell towards the ground. Fortunately, Nelson extended his long arms and pulled her into his embrace. Naomi's nose bumped onto Nelson's shirt. Blood came gushing out of her nose, staining his shirt red. "I'm sorry," Naomi apologized before she could even pinch her nose. The next second, Nelson reached out his hand and helped her. "Why are you so careless? Has your nose been hurt before?" As he said that, he took out the handkerchief from his pocket and said, "Use this." Naomi smiled and shook her head. She replied, "I'm fine." In fact, what she said
Nelson and his mother, Tiffany, were sitting opposite each other in the living room in their house. Tiffany had been sent to prison because of her past misdeeds when she had colluded with Harry. She had gotten released upon completion of her sentence a few years ago. However, they had not been in contact with each other and Nelson had only tracked her down now. Tiffany had not been leading a good life these few years and she looked much older than before. She was a bit puzzled when she saw Nelson's expression but stayed quiet. Nelson tried to call her, "Mom..." Tiffany trembled, and only then did she come to a realization. She said, "You are..." "Mom, I'm Vincent!" Tiffany stretched out her shivering hand and caressed Nelson's face. "Are you really Vincent? They all said that you had died and I was so sad!" Nelson pursed his lips and said, "They're right. 'Vincent Granger' is long gone. Starting ten years ago, I started living
In Inchee Company, Nelson sat in front of his desk. Richard was reporting to him. "Mr. Luther, you're right. The Granger family is indeed looking into Miss George's whereabouts. However, we've arranged everything ahead of time. They won't be able to find out that you were with her." Nelson nodded and said, "Great." Richard asked again with curiosity, "Aren't you pursuing Miss George? Wouldn't it be better if you just tell her candidly about your identity? Miss George might even accept you even quicker if you do so!" Nelson shook his head and replied, "You don't understand. Amos is too excellent. Once he discovers my existence now, he will definitely find a way to investigate me thoroughly. Then, all our plans will be in vain! That's not the result we want, hmm?" Richard nodded and said, "You're always so thorough, sir." Nelson paused for a while and said, "However, they are incredibly sharp-witted by investigating me so soon. We have to speed u
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
