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
Outside of the ward, Eudora told Amos about the situation that had just occurred. "Naomi has fallen head over heels for him. I don't know how to persuade her. I think we should let her slowly calm down first!" Amos furrowed his brow and said, "Okay!" Soon after, he reached out to hold Eudora, "When you came out of the house just now, you were wearing very thin clothes. It's raining and cold outside, so I'll take you home!" Eudora glanced in the direction of the ward and asked, "What about Naomi?" "Let her cool off. I'm afraid we'll end up in an awkward situation if we force her to leave now." Eudora nodded her agreement, "Alright then!" In the evening, Amos called Clint again after Eudora fell asleep. "Go and investigate secretly what happened in the car accident." Clint said, "You also think it was too coincidental, don't you? However, it indeed happened by chance!" "What do you mean?" Amos was suspicious. "I've already
When Naomi arrived home, Amos and Eudora were still awake. Seeing her enter the room, Cindy instantly came up to her and asked, "Miss Naomi, are you hungry? I'll prepare dinner for you!" Amos interrupted Cindy by saying, "You don't have to prepare the dinner. Go and do some other work!" Cindy pursed her lips, turned around and left. Only then did Amos look at Naomi and say, "Don't you have anything to say to us?" After much contemplation, Naomi walked over to Amos. She said, "Yes, maybe it's time for me to have a good talk with you two!" Truth be told, Naomi had always been open and straightforward in life, and she disliked beating around the bush. It was the first time for her to not be candid with her parents. However, she had now chosen to be more straightforward with her parents and tell them how she felt. She took a deep breath. Naomi confessed, "Mom, Dad, I like Nelson a lot. Please give me your blessing." Eudora
Naomi was in contemplation when her colleague next to her noticed her. Her colleague asked, "What's wrong? Look at you, you're like a young girl longing for love. Are you going on a date?" Doubtlessly, her colleague was incredibly perceptive. She could see through Naomi at once. Before Naomi had a chance to explain herself, her colleague said, "Since it's a date, you must dress up properly! You usually wear a pantsuit or sportswear so I think you should try putting on a dress!" Naomi was taken aback as she asked, "A dress?" The last time she had put on a dress was when she was five or six years old. She had never worn a dress again, especially after beginning to practice self defense. "A dress would be inconvenient, wouldn't it?" "What's so inconvenient about that? What kind of girl doesn't wear a dress? You should know that dresses are the best garment to show off a girl's charm!" Naomi struggled to reply, "Fine, I'll give it
Naomi lowered her head and poked the thief in the eye. Then, she wrapped her leg up using the hem of her dress. The person whose stuff got stolen quickly caught up and retrieved their belongings. "Thank you! You're amazing!" Naomi shook her head and laughed, "You're welcome. You should be careful in the future." The commotion just now attracted the police officers that were patrolling. They arrived shortly at the scene. After Naomi handed over the incident to them, she was about to turn around but was stopped by Nelson. "Naomi, what did you just do?" Naomi pursed her lips, "What's wrong? I'm fine!" "What if something happens to you? Besides, I'm here. You don't have to go and take the risk." Nelson was so angry that Naomi was inundated with nagging grunts and complaints. "In addition, you're wearing a dress. Where are your shoes? What if you are injured? Naomi, you..." Naomi could only smile, "Are you worried about me?"
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
