My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 1025
'Til take you to the hospital!"
In the next instant, Nelson held her in his arms.
"Naomi, I won't do that again! I won't lie to you anymore!"
Naomi paused for a moment. The sorrow that she had already forgotten reappeared in her mind again.
She was like a child who had been wronged. Now that Nelson had brought up the matter again, she felt a prick in her heart.
Human nature was just so!
Naomi sniffed and made a sound of agreement in a low voice.
"Okay! I believe you!"
In the hospital, the doctor examined Nelson.
"It's just an external injury, nothing serious. Just go home and have a good rest!"
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief. After they came out from the hospital, Naomi had already missed her working hours.
She simply sent the plans and strategies that she had prepared to her colleagues and asked them to handle them.
She, on the other hand, accompanied Nelson back home.
She had not slept well the night before. After lunch, Naomi fell asleep.
Nelson got up and made a phone call. He said to the person on the phone, "Frida! Monique must have told you to assist to harm Naomi's organization, right? Stop it!"
"Mr. Luther..." Frida paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"That's enough! Frida! I understand your point. We're all under Miss Monique but we can make our own choices. Frida, we've said before that we wouldn't harm anyone innocent! I'll explain this matter to Monique!"
"No, Mr. Luther. Last night, we already took action on this matter!"
"What do you mean?"
Nelson pursed his lips and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I'm sorry, I just found out too. I was going to inform you! This time, Miss Monique instantly sent someone to do it! She does not believe in us anymore..."
Nelson held his phone tightly in his hand and asked, "What did she do?"
"I'm not very clear about the details, but I think the results will turn up soon!"
There was a short pause.
Frida spoke again, "Mr. Luther, don't mess with Miss Monique. She's incredibly powerful. We can't fight against her!"
Nelson pressed his lips together and said, "I'm not messing with her! I just don't want to implicate innocent people!"
"Who isn't innocent in this matter? Mr. Luther, we pity other people, but do they pity us in return? All of us here today have been despised and ignored by others. Who here hasn't experienced the coldness of others? I thought we would never experience love again! I thought that we would only work hard for the rest of our life!"
Nelson was stunned!
Memories of the past flashed in his mind bit by bit.
He thought about the time when he had been pushed into the freezing cold water!
No one had saved him. At that time, he had made up his mind that if he could start all over again, he would choose to become the bad guy!
Later on, he had not died. Instead, he was adopted by his adoptive parents and brought abroad. At that time, he had reckoned he could start all over again.
However, things were just like what Frida mentioned.
In the world, there was no mercy or kindness. His adoptive parents had passed away in an accident, and he became a homeless orphan after being cared for in a loving family.
His situation had been even more pitiful than before as he was abroad and was not familiar with the language. He had faced all kinds of malicious discrimination.
At that time, he had told himself the same thing.
He would never become a good person!
Therefore later, he really became a bad person. He joined Monique's organization. In their various training sessions, he climbed up the ladder by harming lots of people on his way. Due to his hard work and vicious heart, he was able to make it to where he was today. Only then could he come back glamorously!
However, he suddenly was reluctant to become the bad guy anymore!
He met Naomi and saw that she had missed him for many years.
He suddenly forgot all the bitterness of the past, thinking that he was Vincent Granger yet again, who had always been happy, not the sorrowful Nelson... "Mr. Luther?"
Frida's voice snapped him out of his daze again.
It was only then that Nelson realized that he had thought too much!
"I thought that I wouldn't love anymore too, but..."
"Mr. Luther!" Frida opened her mouth in surprise. She asked, "Have you really fallen in love with Miss George? Does Miss Monique know?"
"I won't delay my mission!" Nelson said in a deep voice. "I hope you don't tell her!"
"Of course I won't say it, Mr. Luther. I would've been dead if you hadn't taken care of me when I joined the organization back then! I'll keep this secret for you, I'm advising you to think this through! Although I don't know everything about this matter, but I'm roughly aware of the circumstances. If Miss George replaces out about the grudge between you and her parents, do you think she'll forgive you?"
Frida had brought up the key point of the matter.
That was also a thorn in his heart that he had kept for a long time.
"In the future, I will use the rest of my life to explain it to her!"
He seemed to be talking to Frida, but at the same time he was convincing himself. His tone had weakened due to his guilty conscience.
When he returned to his room, Naomi had not woken up yet.
Nelson slowly walked towards the bed and laid down beside her. However, he accidentally woke her up. When she saw him, she beamed.
"What time is it?"
"It's still early!" Nelson reached out his hand and hugged her. He said, "Let's sleep for a bit longer!"
Her head rested on his chest again, and soon he heard her snoozing.
Nelson lowered his head and gave her a faint kiss on the cheek as he sighed.
When she woke up again, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Her mobile phone rang loudly at the head of the bed, instantly waking them up. Naomi got up and answered the call, "Hello."
A panic-stricken voice came from the other end, "Miss Naomi, bad news! Something has happened!"
"What happened?" Naomi immediately sprang up.
"Illegal items have been found in Walter's house in Movida Street! Now, the police have surrounded his house!"
"I'll be there right away!"
After Naomi finished speaking, she immediately put down the phone and changed her clothes.
Nelson had completely woken up as the incident seemed like one of Monique's doing. It really was Monique's style to make illegal items appear in someone's house! "I'll go with you!" Nelson got up.
Naomi no longer had the time to talk to him. Since Nelson was still able to drive, she allowed him to follow her.
Movida Street was actually a food street.
After Naomi took over Leslie' organization, she tried all means to disperse everyone from the organization. She even helped them build good careers.
Due to the fact that they did not have a good academic background, Naomi spent many years cultivating them.
She arranged for them to train in catering, sales, construction, technology, housekeeping, and many other sectors.
Most of the stores in Movida Street had been opened by Naomi's subordinates. After years of transformation, the street currently had other restaurants and had become Rosaville City's signature food street. Walter was an honest man. How could it be possible for him to do such a thing?
As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the hall was in chaos and Walter's 80-year-old wife was sitting in the hall crying until her voice had become hoarse!
When Walter's wife, Carol, saw Naomi entering, she stood up and grabbed Naomi's hand, as if she had seen her lifesaver.
"Miss Naomi, Miss Naomi, you' re here! Please save Walter! I heard that he'll be imprisoned for at least ten years for committing such a crime! What should we do?" After saying so, an old woman staggered and ran over, attempting to kneel down to Naomi.
"Miss Naomi, please save my son!"
"Madam, please get up quickly!" Naomi hurried to help the old woman up. She asked, "What happened? How could this happen?"
Carol shook her head as she replied, "I don't know either! No one in my family has touched that kind of stuff before."
"Could it be Walter who did so?" Naomi pursed her lips. Truth be told, she was unable to believe it. The main reason was that Walter was an extremely honest, cultured man. "It-it'd be impossible!" Carol was also stunned.
The old woman was emotional as she said, "It's impossible. My son is incredibly obedient. He has been very sensible since he was a child. He is honest and would never do such a thing!" "Madam, don't worry!" Naomi tried to calm them down. Then, she continued, "Since this matter has already happened, we need to investigate first. Only in this way can we help Walter out of this situation!" However, the old woman remained stubborn and said, "It's impossible! I can't believe this."
"Mom!" Carol could not stand it anymore. She said to the old woman, "She is Miss Naomi who has always been helping us. You can't talk to her like this. Miss Naomi will help us!"
The old woman suddenly understood the situation and said, "Is she Miss Naomi? Miss Naomi, I didn't mean it that way. Walter really isn't such a person!"
"I believe you! I will replace a way to save Walter!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Naomi smiled and said, "Madam, could you get me a glass of water?"
"Yes, yes! I'll get it for you!"
After sending the old woman away, Naomi turned towards Carol again. She asked, "What happened? Where did they replace those things?"
"In the warehouse!"
Carol said, "We were doing business today and a lot of people came and went! I don't know why, but the police suddenly came. They said that they have received a report that we had illegal items there! Then, they entered and searched! They found a pack of cocaine! If they didn't tell us about it, I would have thought that it was a pack of flour in our store!"
Naomi frowned and asked, "Who's in charge of the warehouse keys?"
"Walter and myself! Even my mother-in-law doesn't have the key. We are very grateful to be able to do business with such a background. We have always kept in mind the things that Miss Naomi told us. You told us that we should always be cautious at all times and not let people have anything against us due to negligence! We have been cautious, but how can..."
"Don't worry!" Naomi said with a sigh. "I'll replace a way to ask Walter to see if he has any clue about this!"
"You'll be able to meet Walter?" Carol's eyes lit up.
"I'll ask the lawyer to think of a way!"
Naomi turned around and walked out. Just as she arrived at the door, a young man, who looked quite similar to Carol, entered.
"This is my brother, Jonathan!" Carol introduced.
Naomi nodded and went out together with Nelson.
When she got into the car, she touched her forehead as she suddenly felt a headache!
The next second, a warm hand covered the back of her hand.
"Naomi..."
Naomi smiled at Nelson and said, "I'm fine! I'm just a little tired."
"Then, take a rest. I'll call you when we arrive!"
As he spoke, Nelson started the car.
His phone rang and Nelson took a look at it. It was a call from the company. For the company to look for him at that moment, it was most likely not something good.
The call was most likely about Monique.
As he hesitated, Naomi reminded him, "Your phone is ringing. Do you have any urgent business?"
Only then did Nelson pick up the call. As expected, it was Frida's voice.
"Mr. Luther, Miss Monique is here. She asked you to return to the company immediately."
Nelson pursed his lips and said, "I have something to do! I can't leave now!"
"Mr. Luther!" Frida's voice sounded very anxious. She continued, "Miss Monique reminded you to think carefully. She's in a bad mood now. If she were to do something to hurt the people around you now, you better be cautious!"
Nelson's fingers tightened, and Naomi's voice rang in his ears.
"Is there something urgent? Then, go ahead! I can go by myself!"
"But..." Nelson hesitated.
"It's okay! I'll call the lawyer myself."
Only then did Nelson nod and say, "Alright! I'll go in a moment."
After he hung up on the call, Nelson did not leave until he saw that Naomi's lawyer had arrived.
At the company.
There was not a single person in the office when Nelson entered the office.
He looked at Frida suspiciously. He asked, "Didn't you say that Monique was looking for me?"
Frida said, "Oh, Miss Monique went downstairs for a while. She asked you to wait for a few minutes!"
Nelson turned around and returned to his seat. He saw that there were many documents that had not been dealt with. He calmed down and began to work.
On the other side, Naomi was stopped when she arrived at the detention center.
"Are you Miss George? After investigation, we found out that Walter Clarke is your subordinate. You are the head of that organization, right? We have found several illegal items from your subordinate's stores.
We will need you to go in with us to assist with the investigation!"
Naomi was stunned but she managed to ask, "Several items? When?"
"Just now! We've brought back several contraband items! Miss George, you'll know everything when you enter!"
Tm Miss George's lawyer!" The lawyer said, "I want to vouch for my client..."
The police officer shook his head and apologized, "I'm sorry. This is a malignant case. You are not allowed to vouch for her!"
"Miss George!" The lawyer was anxious.
Naomi closed her eyes. Everything had happened so suddenly that she felt that it was a little strange.
"Go meet Walter and the others first. I'll replace a way to solve this problem!"
The lawyer nodded and said, "Okay!"
After Naomi finished speaking, she turned her head.
"Alright! Let's enter!"
Not far behind from Naomi, Monique looked at Naomi's back with a smirk on her face.
"You're just a little girl, and yet you want to fight with me?"
On the other side, Nelson had finished all the documents in his hands and found that Monique had not yet returned!
"Frida! When exactly is Monique coming?"
After a moment of hesitation, she pursed her lips before saying, "Mr. Luther, she should be here a while more. I'll go and take a look..."
"Frida!" A thought came to Nelson's mind and he asked Frida, "Monique is not going to come at all, is she? Are you lying to me?"
"Mr. Luther..." Frida lowered her head. "I...It was Miss Monique's order. I was forced to do it!"
Nelson felt a surge of anger in his chest. Suddenly, he felt his heart tighten. "Monique is diverting my attention away from something! Naomi must be in danger!"
