Chapter 1014
Nelson looked at Monique in astonishment.
There was a long silence.
Monique stroked his shoulder while saying, "What's wrong? Have you become soft-hearted? Did you
forget the grievances that you and your mother suffered after falling head over heels for that girl?"
"It's not like that!" Nelson shook his head.
"I'll consider it!"
"Good!"
Monique said with a smile, "I know that you will live up to my expectations. I await good news from
you!"
After that, Monique looked at the street in front of her.
"Drop me off there! There's a decent restaurant over there. I'm going to try it. Oh, by the way, I heard
that Tiffany used to have her breakfast there. A few days ago, my housekeeper called me and told me
that she hasn't been doing too well recently. She would often have nightmares and dreams of being
tortured in prison. I don't have to remind you about who brought all the miseries
upon her, do I?"
After that, Monique opened the door of the car.
"Would you like to have a meal with me?"
Nelson shook his head and rejected her politely, "Thanks for the offer, but I've eaten!"
"Alright!"
Monique waved goodbye to Nelson, and then she left.
Nelson sat morosely in the car, contemplating for a while before he drove back to the company.
"Richard!"
Nelson called Richard's name as soon as he entered the office. However, no one responded.
His secretary came in and reminded him.
"Mr. Luther, Richard is on a business trip."
Only then did Nelson come to a realization. He looked at the secretary.
"Your name is Frida, isn't it?"
She bowed to him and said, "Yes, my name is Frida. Richard has assigned me to work under you. Just
let me know if there's anything you need!"
"Okay, then help me investigate Valiant East's project! I want the most detailed
information."
Frida nodded and walked out.
A moment later, she brought in all the materials.
"Mr. Luther, I think it's a good chance for us this time!"
Upon hearing her words, he raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "You've also noticed it?"
Judging by the fact that Frida had been assigned by Richard to work under him, she must be a close
confidant who knew everything about them.
Frida nodded while replying, "Yes! It can be said that the circumstances are to our favor. The fire
erupted at just the right moment. Moreover, it happened at a location near to the construction site of
Valiant East. Furthermore, Amos hasn't been around recently. Valiant East is truly vulnerable without
him. With all these conditions, we have a higher chance to bring them down!"
It was a simple interpretation that even Frida could have, and it was impossible for Nelson to overlook
it. Nevertheless, he was still hesitating.
"Mr. Luther?"
He seemed a bit preoccupied, thus Frida called out to him yet again.
He finally responded by saying, "Then, what do you think we should do?"
"I reckon the people in Valiant East would definitely try to negotiate with that company. However, I bet
they will fail in their attempt. In my opinion, why don't we lend them a helping hand! Once we succeed
in gaining their trust, then..."
"You may leave first. I'll think about it!"
Frida was a little confused and called out, "Mr. Luther!"
He made an excuse and said, "This is a big issue. I want to discuss this with Miss Chilton."
Frida nodded and replied, "Okay!"
After she left, he laid on the chair and closed his eyes for a while, beginning to reminisce about his
past.
He thought back to the time he had spent with Naomi when they were young. On the other hand, he
also recollected the time when Tiffany had gone into hysteria, and the days when he was homeless.
Then, he remembered Tiffany's sufferings and the fact that she was gradually getting older.
The last scene that came to his mind was Naomi's arm, which had been burned when she woke up
early in the morning to cook for him.
While he was in a daze, someone called out to him, so he slowly opened his eyes. Frida, who seemed
exhilarated, greeted him.
"Mr. Luther, we have a good opportunity right now!"
Nelson blinked his eyes in confusion and asked, "What?"
"Something happened to Miss George!"
Her words totally stunned him. He quickly came back to his senses and asked, "What happened to
her?"
Frida paused for a moment as she was probably frightened by Nelson's overly nervous tone. However,
she probably reckoned that he was excited, therefore she continued to speak with a smile.
"Our informant sent back some news just now. Miss George and her colleagues went to meet the
property developer. I don't know what happened, but a fight broke out later onwards. Mr. Luther, we..."
Before Frida could finish her sentence, Nelson had already dashed out.
Meanwhile, Naomi and the others were having a meeting in the morning. They came to a conclusion
that the only plausible way at the moment was to negotiate with the property developer.
However, the property developer, Sheldon was no longer behaving as he used to. His attitude changed
completely when he realized that Amos was not around.
Not long after starting their conversation, he had already called the security guards to drive them away.
Naomi was a hot-tempered person. She had never seen such an unreasonable person before. Both of
them no longer held back in their conversation. Hence, a fight soon broke out.
Naomi was indeed quite powerful, but there were only three or four colleagues that came with her. On
the other hand, the opposing side had a large number of people. It seemed that they had already
planned for this for a long time.
Naomi not only had to take care of herself, but she also had to help her colleagues.
It didn't take long for her to be put at a disadvantage. She was about to be hit by a rod when Nelson
arrived at the scene.
"Stop it!"
Upon seeing Nelson, Sheldon still maintained his arrogant attitude.
"How dare you ask us to stop when you are trespassing on my property? I've already said that we've
suffered a great loss in this project. No matter what, we don't have any more money left.
Just because you are backed by two major companies doesn't mean that you can bully common folks
like us. We are having a hard time as well!"
Naomi was so exasperated as she felt like she was the one being bullied.
Nelson gritted his teeth and said, "I have called the police. They will handle the situation here!"
Sheldon was taken aback but he continued to say, "Do you really think that bluffing will work? The
police are not that free to handle such a trivial matter. Guys, beat him up!"
Before his voice had died away, Harley rushed in with a group of police officers from outside.
"Arrest all of them and bring them back!"
It was not until Harley appeared that they finally gave up. Nelson ran towards Naomi and held her in his
hand.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!
Naomi's colleagues were curious and they all asked, "What's going on? Are they going to get married
soon?"
"I couldn't agree with you more. What's more, they're not avoiding us while they're showing their
affection to each other. It seems that the Granger family is going to have a son-in-law soon!"
"I'm so jealous!"
Amidst the jokes and teasing, Harley looked at Naomi, who was having a sweet moment with Nelson.
He couldn't help but sigh.
He thought of his son. "Alas! Benedict, you don't stand a chance anymore!"
However, on second thought, he felt relieved. Benedict was not in good health whereas Naomi was a
girl with a short fuse. If they were to get together, they might not be able to complement each other.
It seemed fated that Naomi would get together with Nelson.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
