At the same moment, Nelson was looking at Monique, who was in his office, fiddling with her hair. "Miss Monique, if you don't have any business here, please return first! I still have things to do." Monique laughed happily and said, "Of course I have things to talk to you about since I'm here."

Nelson heard this and looked up at Monique but stayed quiet, as if he was waiting for Monique to continue.

Monique laughed to herself and said, "Naomi really is capable. I don't see anything special about her but she is able to make the two men put your lives on the line for her!"

Nelson frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Naomi's childhood friend fought with the culprit at the airport. It seems that his life is in danger!"

"Benedict?" The first person that Nelson thought of was him.

"You knew? I thought that all men cared about their rivals! Don't you?"

Did he care? Of course, he did!

However, he knew in his heart that Naomi only treated Benedict as a little brother. He trusted Naomi!

Nevertheless, if something were to happen to him, Naomi would definitely be devastated.

"What happened to him?"

"What happened? Didn't I just mention it just now? He found out that Jonathan had something to do with this matter. In order to arrest Jonathan at the airport, he fought with him. It seems that his life is in danger now!"

"What?"

Nelson suddenly stood up and said, "Didn't we agree not to hurt innocent people?"

Monique raised her head and calmly looked at Nelson.

"No one has hurt him. He was looking for death! How could I stop such a person?"

"You..."

Nelson immediately got up and left.

Monique stopped him again by saying, "I advise you not to be too impulsive. Do you think a small fry like Jonathan will know anything?"

"I, Monique Chilton, am not that foolish!"

Nelson's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly felt that he had fallen into an elaborate, large trap.

He and Jonathan were the fishes and shrimps that had gotten trapped in a net. They desperately tried to escape, but it would only result in wounds all over their body in the end.

If he wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect, he could only listen to her!

Monique saw that Nelson had stopped, and she nodded in satisfaction. She continued, "That's right. The people I've chosen can't be so stupid! I've said that as long as you do what I want you to do, no one will get hurt! However, if someone looks for their own death, I can only silently mourn forthem!"

As Nelson let out a deep breath, Frida entered from the outside.

"Mr. Luther, Miss Monique!"

"Frida, you came just in time!" Monique laughed as she said, "How is it going over at your side?"

"It went well!" Frida nodded and replied, "I've already given the supplier's contact to that colleague as we've agreed! As long as they get the goods from there, all their funds will be sealed off. The quality of the project won't be that good as well!"

"Do you think she will do it according to your arrangements?" Monique asked.

"Yes." Frida nodded and assured, "They've trusted me these past few days. I'll continue to follow up!" "Very good!" Monique nodded. Then, she added, "Frida, you have improved a lot. When this incident is over, you can look for me for any request too. When the time comes, just let me know if you want anything!"

A light lit up in Frida's eyes as she asked, "Is that true?"

"Of course!" Monique said with a smile. "Have you decided what your request will be? With your current qualifications, you can either stay with me or become a senior executive, whichever is not a problem!" Monique reckoned that that kind of status was the highest level of glory!

"I..." Frida pursed her lips before saying, "I want to stay in Rosaville City and live my own life."

Monique's body paused, and her face gradually solidified.

"You want to leave me too? You all want to leave me?"

Frida was shocked by Monique's expression and said, "Miss Monique, I..."

Monique returned to normal. She smiled at Frida and said, "What are you so afraid for? Since I've promised you that I'll keep my promise, I'll definitely do it! So, you just need to do your best!" "Okay!" Frida let out a sigh of relief.

As the two of them talked, Nelson turned around and left.

Monique stopped him again, "Do you understand what I mean by doing all this?"

Nelson frowned and said, "I can't even visit my friend now?"

Although his words were very blunt, Monique knew that he had compromised, therefore she did not say anything!

In the detention center, Nelson brought a lawyer with him. He thought of many solutions before he finally got to meet Naomi.

It had been more than ten hours since Benedict's accident. During these ten hours, Naomi had been in a horrible mood. When Nelson saw Naomi, she seemed soulless. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were red and swollen.

"Naomi..."

Nelson felt a sharp pain in his heart but had no idea how to comfort her.

Naomi heard his voice and looked up at him.

The next second, a trembling voice came from her mouth.

"Nelson..."

"Naomi, I'm sorry. I'm late!"

Naomi ran over and reached out to hold Nelson's hand.

"Benedict got into trouble. He got into trouble because of me!"

It could be seen that she was blaming herself for the accident. Naomi had always treated Benedict, who had grown up together with her, as her own younger brother.

Seeing him like that, she could not help but feel sad.

"I know, I know!" Nelson held her hand tightly. At that moment, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, but there was a fence separating the both of them, making it look like they were from different worlds.

"However, none of it is your fault. You did not intend for it to happen!"

"Benedict's health has always been poor since he was young. It's not easy for him to grow into an adult. Auntie Thea and Uncle Louis are devastated! I feel so sorry towards them!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Nelson choked with sobs as he spoke, "In the future, I'll help you take care of them. Don't worry, there will always be someone who will take care of them! Moreover, the medicine industry is flourishing now. I'll help you replace the best doctor. Maybe Benedict will wake up with medical help!"

"Really?" Naomi finally calmed down a little after she heard Nelson's words.

"Is it really possible?"

"We can try our best. When I was abroad, I saw many good doctors. I'll ask someone to contact them, and soon there will be a result!"

"Okay!" Naomi nodded obediently. She looked like an innocent little girl, with tears in the corner of her eyes, and even her eyelashes were wet with teardrops.

His heart was about to melt at the sight of her.

He comforted her in a low voice, "Stop crying!"

He reached out to wipe away her tears.

Naomi nodded and gave him a faint smile as she said, "I'm so lucky to have you, Nelson."

Lucky to have him?

That sentence was supposed to be a sentence that would bring him joy. However, he could not bring himself to feel happy at all.

If one day, she found out that all of this had happened because of him, would she hate him?

If that time really were to come, what would he do?

He thought about that and suddenly panicked. "No, she will not know! She must not know!" Nelson thought to himself.
