My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel 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!"

"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.
