My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 1062

Richard resolutely stood in front of Nelson and looked at the police officers in front of them with sharp eyes.

"This is all my doing. If you want to take somebody with you, just take me instead of him!"

The police officers frowned as they said, "We're acting in accordance with the law. Please don't be unreasonable, Sir. We don't want to take action by force."

"I don't care! As long as I'm here, you can't take him away!"

Nelson furrowed his brow and said, "Richard, get out of the way!"

At that point, he had already given up. He had been planning to make amends for the trouble he had caused Naomi, but his cowardice had gotten the better of him and he no longer dared to tell her the truth. In his mind, he thought that there would always be a chance to tell her everything in the future.

Unfortunately, he had miscalculated. Someone had taken the opportunity of his engagement party to scheme against him and revealed the truth before he did. However, he was just reaping what he sowed as he was to be blamed because he was the one who had chosen to delay confessing to Naomi.

What was more, Naomi was right. Some of the wrongdoings had indeed been done by him.

If she couldn't forgive him, to be imprisoned or to stay free would make no difference to him. In fact, prison was nothing to him compared to the bad blood that had formed between Naomi and him. Richard shook his head desperately as he said, "I won't get out of the way! Where is Miss George? It's not what you all think. I can explain it!"

Nelson let out a rueful smile. The police had already arrived, so any explanation would be useless.

Richard shouted, "Miss George, please come out, I'll explain things to you. You can't do this to Nelson!"

Amos quickly stopped him, "That's enough!"

"Stop yelling! We are not blind either as we can see and judge things by ourselves. As for you, you can do whatever you want. Just don't bother us anymore! I believe that justice will be served by the police." After that, Amos gave the people behind him a look.

A few secret guards immediately came up and subdued Richard. Although Richard knew how to fight, he was still not as skillful as the professional guards of the Granger Family.

In the end, both Richard and Nelson were taken away.

The farce finally came to an end. The guests had already been arranged to leave the hall after the incident had broken out.

After the dust had settled, Clint took the initiative to come forward and bow to Amos.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't do my job well, otherwise, Miss Naomi wouldn't..."

Amos said in a low voice, "It's not your fault. I haven't done well as a father. You are not the one to be blamed."

Clint pursed his lips before saying, "Actually, it's not your fault. It's just that Nelson's act had been too flawless. I wonder what his motive is."

"Motive?"

Amos snorted, "Don't you see it? Obviously, he was in cahoots with Monique!"

Clint was gobsmacked and asked, "Do you mean that..."

"If I'm not mistaken, he has actually been holding a grudge against our family. He must have regained his memory after he went abroad. I don't know what happened, but somehow Monique had hoodwinked him into hating us more. After the death of his adoptive parents, he should have been living by Monique's side."

"Needless to say, the reason he came back to Rosaville City afterwards was to take revenge on us."

Clint understood at once and he replied, "No wonder we couldn't replace any information about him. Monique really put in a lot of effort to disguise his identity so that he could come back for revenge." Amos took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's call it a day."

He had understood the situation clearly, but Naomi, his own daughter, had already been hurt. He felt depressed at the thought of that. He said to Clint, "You must be tired too. Go back! I'm going to see Naomi first."

"Yes, Mr. Granger!"

After saying that, Clint turned around and was about to leave.

Charlie happened to dash in from the outside. He said in a hurry, "Sir, something happened."

"What is it?" asked Amos.

"The police truck got hijacked, and Nelson has been taken away!"

In a strange dark environment, someone removed the black bag covering Nelson's head. After growing accustomed to the darkness, he gradually recognized the scene in front of him.

It was a room without any windows, and it looked like a basement. The room was stark with only a few pieces of furniture placed.

There was someone else in the room.

Monique stood opposite him, looking at him with a smile.

"Nelson, I've told you a long time ago that you shouldn't fall in love with that girl. Do you believe my words now? How did you feel when you got sent to prison by your own beloved?" Nelson gritted his teeth and said, "Monique! I didn't expect you to be here."

Monique smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, I am here! I have been here all the time to see what will happen to you, the betrayer. Well, look where things have gotten you! It's been hard for me these days, but I'm afraid that you'll suffer even more than me!"

"What's the feeling of being a criminal, who has been kidnapped on the way to jail?"

Nelson was quite clear-headed. So, he replied, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, those photos would not have appeared."

Monique guffawed, then she said, "Yeah, it was my doing! However, I couldn't do all that alone without the help of your good assistant, Frida."

Following Monique's reminder, Nelson spotted Frida, who was standing far behind Monique.

Due to the darkness, he could not perceive her expression clearly.

So, that was the reason why Monique was still able to stir up trouble although she was having a hard time herself.

Seeing how upset he was, Monique couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Are you sad? It must be very disheartening to be betrayed by your own lover." Speaking of that, the smile on Monique's face gradually faded away, and a note of grievance appeared in her tone.

"The pain you feel now is far less than what I've endured when I was betrayed by you before this. I've been so kind to you, but how did you repay me? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning of your suffering. Nelson sneered, "How dare you say that I have betrayed you! You were the one who lied to me.

Amos was never the kind of person you mentioned. You even beguiled my mother into listening to your orders and deceiving me."

"You were the one who started the deception. How dare you ask me to treat you well!"

Monique gave a snort before she spoke again, "You can say that to yourself. With all the things you've done to that girl, you aren't any better than me. Do you really think that she will forgive you and fall in love with you again if you turn against me now? I've heard that she called the police in person. I bet she won't shed a tear even if I kill you now."

Upon hearing that, Nelson wondered, "Won't she?"

For some reason, he was greatly devastated.

However, he was able to regain his composure.

"So what? That's none of your business!"

"It seems that you still don't believe me. Fine, you will know the result of doing so soon!"

After that, she gave an enigmatic smile to him.

"What are you trying to do?"

"You've upset the apple cart and ruined my reputation. What do you think I will do in response to that? I have made it clear that no one can betray me, including those people whom I like." "However, if you change your mind now and comply with my orders, I may give you another chance. We can escape from Rosaville City and make a comeback together."

Nelson sneered and said, "Even if I were to say I would give in now, would you still believe me?"
