The man who spoke was taken aback as he stuttered, "I-I dare not say I can, but I'm willing to lighten Miss Chilton's burden..." Before he finished, he realized that something was amiss. When he saw that Nelson had entered the room, he became angry out of humiliation. "Mr. Luther, what a busy man you are. Are you even aware that Miss Chilton is here? She is the top leader of the company, and yet you've made her wait for you for half an hour. Do you know that you've gone too far?" Nelson looked at Monique. She was sitting in the front row, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking as though she was keeping herself out of the problem. It was as if she was saying, "This has nothing to do with me. I'd like to see how the two of you will settle this!" Nelson said with a snort, "Mr. Westin, since you've just said so, I do have a question for you. Do you remember what Article 23 of our company's code of conduct mentions?" Wilson was stunned, "Don
A moment passed. Monique asked, "What did you just say?" Nelson turned around and answered, "Miss Monique, I know that you are a smart person. Of course, you were well aware that someone in the company was playing tricks in secret! However, just like what Mr. Westin had just said, because they were elders, and you didn't have solid evidence, it was impossible for you to deal with them. Therefore, you took this opportunity to see how I would deal with them. So, Miss Monique, do you like the way I handled them?" Rishard finally understood what they were talking about. He looked at Nelson in shock. Monique showed a little admiration in her eyes, "Well done. I like that you have the courage to confront them face-to-face. It's smart of you too to notice that they were acting strangely. This time, you've done a good job." Monique had always liked smart people. She couldn't hide her admiration towards Nelson. She had initially thought that Nelson would be in a me
Charlie didn't say a single word. In the end, Cindy bought him a cart full of groceries. After they paid for the groceries, Cindy's stomach let out a growl. Charlie looked at her strangely, "Haven't you had dinner yet?" "I'm fine!" Cindy shook her head. "There's plenty of food left in the kitchen. I'll eat when I return!" Charlie frowned. "I've told you, I don't need your help. Forget it. What do you want to eat?" Cindy was surprised, as if she had just heard shocking news. Charlie looked at her. "What's the matter? Tell me, what do you want to eat?" "I...Anything will do." Charlie was annoyed, but in the end, he said nothing and just strode forward. After a few big steps, he turned back and looked at Cindy, who looked confused. "Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to eat something? There's a food stall over there. Let's go!" "Oh!" Cindy was flattered and followed hurriedly. She couldn't hide the grin on her face.
"Mrs. Granger!" Cindy stopped Eudora again. "I beg you, please don't. My love has always been unrequited. Charlie has never liked me! Actually, I've already thought this through. This time, I'm giving up on him!" Eudora looked at Cindy with pity, but she understood one thing about love. Love could never be forced. "Okay then, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me introduce you to a few good men. They're definitely better than Charlie!" Cindy was lost for words. "Mrs. Granger... Actually..." "Nope. I'll definitely introduce you to them. At the same time..." A glimmer of light flashed through Eudora's eyes. At the same time, the method could also help her understand Charlie's true feelings for Cindy. Perhaps, simple-minded men like Charlie wouldn't even know when they liked a woman. ..... Naomi hadn't been having much problems lately, so Amos wanted Eudora to rest at home. Therefore, Eudora put all her effort into arranging
"Mrs. Granger, I don't think I need to dress up. I'm fine with what I'm wearing right now." Eudora waved her hand. "No, I've already said that I want this party to be perfect. You can't just wear something this simple!" After that, she went to her own closet to pick out some nice outfits. There were many new clothes in her closet that she had never worn before. Amos would buy her a bunch of clothes each season every year. In fact, ever since she had stopped working, she had only been wearing comfortable outfits. Consequently, those fancy clothes were left untouched. She had once asked Amos to not buy her so many clothes, but as a gentleman, he said that she would need them one day if she were to go out. Besides, he said that it was every man's goal to buy nice clothes for their own wife. His arguments made sense, so she didn't care much about it. After carefully selecting a few nice sets of clothes, Eudora handed them all to Cindy and said, "Hurry up
Cindy had been taking care of Eudora at Clearwater Bay for almost ten years. Therefore, relatively speaking, she wasn't really outgoing. With so many men attracted to her and trying to please her all of a sudden, she suddenly became a little flustered. "I... " Eudora stood behind her and poked her in the arm. "It's okay, just go ahead! Don't worry, we're all here!" Eudora hinted. After that, she subconsciously looked towards Charlie again. It just so happened that he was looking at them too. His expression was inscrutable, and he seemed very concerned. Eudora felt a surge of joy in her heart. She knew that Charlie had some feelings towards Cindy. To her, it was necessary to use this kind of tactic against unemotional men like him. While Eudora was still thinking about it, Cindy had stretched her hand out to the random man. "Sure! I'm not very good at it though." "It's okay. I'm not really good at it either. We can learn
Naomi didn't dare to stay outside for too long since she was afraid that Amos would find out about her actions. She returned home after chatting with Nelson for a short while. As soon as she walked in the door, she felt that there was something amiss with the atmosphere inside. Her heart skipped a beat. She thought her parents found out that she had sneaked out to meet Nelson. Just as she was thinking of an excuse, Eudora spoke. Just as she was thinking of an excuse, Eudora spoke, "Come on, Cindy!" Only then did Naomi see that Cindy was standing opposite to Eudora. She hadn't noticed Cindy at first because she was blocked by the plants. "Phew! They're not talking about me," Naomi thought to herself. She heaved a sigh of relief and went upstairs hurriedly. ...... Cindy wasn't in a good mood, "Mrs. Granger, I know that you're doing all this for me, but I'm really exhausted. I want to leave Rosaville City and go to a quiet place to be alone for so
It looked just like an ordinary box and there was nothing special about it. Charlie hesitated. Since Cindy had already gone off with another man, there was no point in him opening the box. In the end, he couldn't control his curiosity and opened it. After he opened the box, he was stunned. There was a smaller box lying inside, which contained a pair of couple rings. The subordinate stared at the rings, "Wait, are these rings from 'Only One'?" Charlie looked at him curiously, "What?" "This is from 'Only One', a jewelry brand! I heard that couples can only order a set of these custom-made rings once in their lifetime, and that's why it's called 'Only One'!" After that, he gave Charlie the side-eye and asked, "Boss, this is..." Charlie did not answer him but he suddenly remembered that Cindy had once mentioned about it. That time, when they had gone out together, he hadn't been paying attention when Cindy had asked him about the rings.
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
