Before Naomi could ask more, Benedict had already started the car. Naomi silently looked down at the box in her hand. It seemed like a necklace. She felt reluctant to put it on and didn't want anything to happen to it, hence she kept it inside its small box. "Let me drive!" Naomi said. Benedict shook his head and said, "No need! I can drive. I got my driving license not long ago!" Since Naomi had mentioned that he was a little kid, he had been trying hard recently to make himself come off as more of an adult. The first thing he did was to obtain his driving license. To his dismay, he found out that her feelings for him would not change regardless of whether he was an adult or a child. At the end of the day, she didn't harbor feelings for him. Naomi nodded, and then she seemed to think of something. "Benedict, please do me a favor. When we get back on the mountain, don't tell anyone that we met Nelson." Benedict pursed his lips while
Then, with a bang, Eudora felt a pain in her back and she blacked out. The last thing she heard before she fainted was Naomi's anxious voice. "Mom!" ...... Meanwhile, Amos noticed that Eudora had been out for a very long time and hadn't returned yet. Just as he was about to go looking for her, he heard Naomi's voice. Everyone was startled. They put everything aside and bolted towards the woods. By the time they arrived at the scene, there was nothing left. It was pitch-black, so Amos ordered someone to fetch the torch lights. After combing the area, all they found was a button that belonged to Eudora. Other than that, there was no trace of Eudora and Naomi! It had been ten years. For the last ten years, Amos cared for Eudora because of what happened before. He didn't want those incidents to happen to Eudora again. He even hired more bodyguards in Clearwater Bay. He knew that it would have an impact on Eudora's daily life
Hearing Eudora's words, Naomi remembered it too. "That's right. Where is Nelson?" As they were talking, the door swung open, and a man came in. "Are the both of you awake?" Without thinking, Eudora got up and stood in front of Naomi. "What do you want? Don't hurt us. Everything can be negotiated!" After all, this was not her first kidnapping. The man laughed instantly. He said, "Very well, I like talking with a straightforward person like you. But I haven't done thinking about what I want yet. I'll tell you later!" With that, the man was about to head out. Naomi couldn't help but ask, "What about Nelson? What did you do to him?" The man snorted and said, "Nelson? Are you talking about the guy who's not afraid of death? He's not quite as smart as you are. He tried bargaining with us and asked us to let the both of you go first. He is quite the daydreamer, isn't he? Do you think it's easy for us to kidnap you all? How dare he sa
Hearing her words, the two men looked at each other. "What do you mean?" "Mrs. Granger is no ordinary woman. Haven't you heard of the infamous 'stock battle' in Rosaville City? It was Mrs. Granger who demolished her competitor all by herself!" "That can't be, right?" The two men were shocked. They said in unison, "She looks like an average woman..." "Yes, she is also very beautiful and vivacious, isn't she?" The two men scratched their heads awkwardly and replied, "It's our fault." The woman smiled faintly and said, "Well, that's too courteous of you. We are just doing business and as a business partner, I'm simply giving you advice. Don't be deceived by her appearance. Whether you heed it or not, it doesn't affect me. By the way, how is the guy?" One of them instantly came forward to report. "As per your instructions, we have beaten the sh*t out of him!" The woman staggered back, and the man behind her asked anxiously after h
Eudora's got it. She had more or less figured it out. After all, she had come across some organizations before. Although she did not commit crimes, she had seen the tools of the trade. "You may have been drugged. That's why you are weak now. Don't worry, it doesn't look like it will take your life. I think it's just weakening you." Upon hearing this, Naomi finally relaxed a little. She then went to check on Nelson's wounds. Seeing that, Eudora said no more and slumped in her corner. She had no taste for playing gooseberry to a couple of lovebirds. After the two of them were done checking for a while and confirmed that it was no big deal, Naomi turned to look at her mother. "Mom, are we going to wait like this?" Eudora shook her head and said, "Of course not. Your father will come and save us!" Naomi was still a little worried. She asked, "This place is so remote. What if he can't find us?" Eudora shook her head again. She was
Eudora got nervous and declared, "I'm her mother. Tie me up instead!" "Get out of my way!" Cody was about to kick Eudora again, but Naomi had shouted to stop him, "Don't touch my mom, tie me up!" "Naomi!" "Mom, it's okay! I'm in good health. I promised dad that I'll protect you. I'm sorry that I've dragged you into trouble this time. If anything happens to you, I can't explain it to Dad and I won't forgive myself either!" After that, she walked resolutely towards the two men. Cody laughed as he spoke, "That's right. You're a good girl, you've saved us so much trouble!" A moment later, Naomi had been tied up and hung over the edge of the cliff by the men. Not only that, but they also brought out both Eudora and Nelson. When Eudora saw the scene, her legs went limp and she almost fainted. The cliff was so high that they could not see the bottom, and clouds can be seen drifting around. There was a small tree by the edge, but its trunk
Naomi looked at Nelson nervously. She said, "Nelson, you won't make it!" Nelson raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Don't you know that you shouldn't say those words to a man?" Naomi was speechless. At a moment like this, he was still able to joke. To her dismay, he stumbled walking towards her. He was still weak due to the effects of the drug. He couldn't stand stably and he swayed on his feet. He punched himself in the chest to brace himself. Feeling the pain, he felt a jolt of adrenaline. Only then did he walk slowly onto the rock. As soon as he walked up, he heard a shifting sound behind him, coming from the part where the protruding rock was connected to the cliff, and it was the sound of soil tumbling off the cliff. He couldn't help but tremble whereas Eudora gasped in consternation at the sight of that. However, she didn't dare make a sound. Right this moment, she felt as though her breath was also enough t
Before Naomi and Eudora could express their doubts, Eudora started to lose her grip on the rope. Eudora shouted loudly, "Naomi!" Nelson, who was being questioned by Cody on a rock, jumped towards Naomi. He grabbed onto the other end of the rope held by Eudora. In the blink of an eye, he was hanging onto the other side of the tree. He and Naomi ended up like a balancing scale, hanging from both sides of the tree. Eudora felt a tremor and she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Nelson, who was gazing into her daughter's eyes in mid-air. His action just now looked to have come from his heart. If it wasn't, then the only explanation would be that he was a really good actor.. However, even Amos couldn't be so good at doing that, therefore Eudora could only believe in their love. "Sh*t!" She heard Jerry cussing. Eudora's heart skipped a beat, and she was thinking about how to get away again. Fortunately, Nelson had saved Naomi, for n
