Naomi nodded and said, "Thank you. If you need my help some other day, just tell me." After that, she opened the door and went out. It wasn't until she left that Nelson made a call. "Is everything ready?" Richard said, "Everything is ready! Are you sure you want to do this?" "Why not? That's our original plan, isn't it?" Richard actually wanted to say that Nelson seemed to have already given his heart to Naomi when they were in the rain the previous day. However, he swallowed his words down in the end. ...... After Naomi went out, she was still in a bit of a daze, therefore she failed to notice that somebody was taking her photos at the entrance of the hotel. She hailed a taxi at the hotel entrance and hurried back to the company. After arriving at the company, she took out the projects from the previous day and studied them carefully. She felt that she had gotten rejected because there had been some flaws in her work. A
When Nelson arrived at the scene, everyone was fighting each other. From a distance, Nelson saw that Naomi was being surrounded by the crowd. She was just standing there, doing nothing, as if she was standing in a bubble, secluded from the world. Nelson got out of the car. Richard hurriedly called out to him again, "Sir, what are you going to do? There are too many people there now, so it'll be dangerous for you to go over there!" Nelson frowned and said, "What I do is none of your business!" "Sir, have you forgotten about our plan?" Nelson stopped in his tracks and said, "I haven't! It's just that the plan has changed!" After that, he hastily squeezed his way into the crowd. "Stop!" With his shout, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him. "It's Mr. Luther! Mr. Luther is here!" Naomi also followed everyone's gaze and saw that Nelson was walking slowly towards her. He was like Prince C
Instead of returning home, Amos and Eudora rushed straight to the company. After Nelson had explained the situation, the crowd at the entrance had dispersed. Thus, Naomi could go back to work. Although Cynthia still disliked Naomi a lot, she couldn't do anything about it since Naomi had not made a mistake. ...... In the silent office, Naomi sat there and worked quietly. The colleagues around her would look at her from time to time and whisper among themselves. "Being the president's daughter is so enviable. You can even get a boyfriend with that kind of status! That guy, Nelson, seems like a young and talented man!" "He's nothing compared to the affluent Granger family! In my opinion, that's just puppy love." "You're right, but having a fling with someone like him is already a hundred times better than us who go on multiple dates!" "We're nowhere near as wealthy as they are..." Naomi heard them, but she was reluctant to say anything
Amos was perplexed and asked, "What identity does he have?" Clint was puzzled as well and he replied, "My investigation indicates that he might be Vincent Granger." This time, Amos and Eudora were both stunned. "Vincent Granger?!" Clint took out all the information he had found and proclaimed, "Yes, Vincent Granger!" "We met Vincent here for the last time. Later, you had sent Charlie to investigate! However, nothing came up. In the end, we could only let the police announce that he was dead. However, no one had actually found Vincent's body! "Mr. Luther was adopted by his current parents almost at the same time! Although the information showed that Mr. Luther is their biological son, I have looked into their blood types and some other information sources. Preliminary investigation suggests that Mr. Luther is Vincent Granger." Amos frowned and said, "If he really is Vincent, what the hell is he planning to do now?" Eudora also became worri
As she walked to the doorway, she heard the head of the company, who had been desperately trying to cooperate with her not long ago, dismiss her efforts. "Who does she think she is, being so arrogant in front of me? If it weren't for Valiant East and Inchee Company, she would not even be able to see me. There are so many projects in the world that are more reliable than hers. Why should I look at hers?" Naomi clenched her fists, straightened her back, and strode away. Eudora once told her that they must be more confident when they were treated with scorn and ridiculed by others. "Don't let criticism and derision distress you, instead we should stand up and face them dauntlessly. Otherwise, you and your family will be the ones who are upset while those people who belittle you will remain unruffled," she thought about her mother's advice. There was only one way to defeat those people, which was to use actions to prove them wrong. After leaving the comp
Naomi was overjoyed, her beady eyes brilliantly glittering with excitement under the streetlamp, just like the stars in the sky, gradually melting Nelson's heart. Nelson subconsciously reached his hand out, wanting to caress her face. Just when his hand was about to land on her cheek, Naomi took a step back and dodged it. "I didn't accept the offer from the person that you arranged for me, but I was still able to do it myself. What you said just now was untrue! We don't need a noble identity to be successful in this world!" Nelson came to his senses and let out a faint laugh. "This is just the beginning! You'll understand that in the future!" After that, he put his hand in his pocket and turned to leave. After a few steps, he remembered something and turned back. He asked Naomi, "Shall I walk you home?" However, Naomi had already walked away. "No need, I can head back myself!" Nelson stared blankly at her back for a long time.
Naomi came to work as usual the next day. She found that her colleague, who had been sitting next to her, was not present. Recalling what had happened the previous day, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. Therefore she asked the other colleagues around her, "Is she going to meet the client today?" The other colleagues nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that Chairman Granger also went in person. She was so stressed and before she left, she kept complaining about being monitored. She also mentioned that if you hadn't handed the project over, then you wouldn't be too nervous in her shoes!" Naomi held her forehead and said, "I feel really sorry for her!" "She was just kidding, so don't take it seriously!" Naomi smiled and said, "Of course I won't!" However, she was indeed curious about what Amos wanted to pull off. ...... At the same time, Nelson arrived at Inchee Group. As soon as he entered his office, Richard came to him anxiously.
Amos failed to receive any calls from Clint since he returned home. It was not until incredibly late in the night that Clint called him He reported in an anxious tone, "Mr. Granger, something's wrong! Mr. Luther is in trouble!" Amos frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" "Mr. Luther had a car accident on his way to the hospital, and now he's in a coma!" Amos pursed his lips and said, "What a coincidence! Which hospital is it?" Clint told him the hospital's name, and then Amos replied, "Don't forget the full-body examination! I'll head over there right now." After hanging up on the call, Amos stood up and was about to head out. Eudora asked curiously, "It's time for dinner. Where are you going?" "Nelson got into a car accident, so I'm going to check it out." Eudora furrowed her brow and hurried to get her coat, "What? Then, I'll go and take a look too!" If she had not known that he was Vincent, she might not have felt a
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
