As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the hall was in chaos and Walterâs 80-year-old wife was sitting in the hall crying until her voice had become hoarse!
When Walterâs wife, Carol, saw Naomi entering, she stood up and grabbed Naomiâs hand, as if she had seen her lifesaver.
âMiss Naomi, Miss Naomi, youâre here! Please save Walter! I heard that heâll be imprisoned for at least ten years for committing such a crime! What should we do?â
After saying so, an old woman staggered and ran over, attempting to kneel down to Naomi.
âMiss Naomi, please save my son!â
âMadam, please get up quickly!â Naomi hurried to help the old woman up. She asked, âWhat happened? How could this happen?â
Carol shook her head as she replied, âI donât know either! No one in my family has touched that kind of stuff before.â
âCould it be Walter who did so?â 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.
âIt-itâd be impossible!â Carol was also stunned.
The old woman was emotional as she said, âItâs 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!â
âMadam, donât worry!â Naomi tried to calm them down. Then, she continued, âSince this matter has already happened, we need to investigate first. Only in this way can we help Walter out of this situation!â
However, the old woman remained stubborn and said, âItâs impossible! I canât believe this.â
âMom!â Carol could not stand it anymore. She said to the old woman, âShe is Miss Naomi who has always been helping us. You canât talk to her like this. Miss Naomi will help us!â
The old woman suddenly understood the situation and said, âIs she Miss Naomi? Miss Naomi, I didnât mean it that way. Walter really isnât such a person!â
âI believe you! I will find a way to save Walter!â
âThank you, thank you!â
Naomi smiled and said, âMadam, could you get me a glass of water?â
âYes, yes! Iâll get it for you!â
After sending the old woman away, Naomi turned towards Carol again. She asked, âWhat happened? Where did they find those things?â
âIn the warehouse!â
Carol said, âWe were doing business today and a lot of people came and went! I donât 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 didnât tell us about it, I would have thought that it was a pack of flour in our store!â
Naomi frowned and asked, âWhoâs in charge of the warehouse keys?â
âWalter and myself! Even my mother-in-law doesnât 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 canâ¦â
âDonât worry!â Naomi said with a sigh. âIâll find a way to ask Walter to see if he has any clue about this!â
âYouâll be able to meet Walter?â Carolâs eyes lit up.
âIâll ask the lawyer to think of a way!â
Naomi turned around and walked out. Just as she arrived at the door, a young man, who looked quite similar to Carol, entered.
âThis is my brother, Jonathan!â 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.
âNaomiâ¦â
Naomi smiled at Nelson and said, âIâm fine! Iâm just a little tired.â
âThen, take a rest. Iâll call you when we arrive!â
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, âYour phone is ringing. Do you have any urgent business?â
Only then did Nelson pick up the call. As expected, it was Fridaâs voice.
âMr. Luther, Miss Monique is here. She asked you to return to the company immediately.â
Nelson pursed his lips and said, âI have something to do! I canât leave now!â
âMr. Luther!â Fridaâs voice sounded very anxious. She continued, âMiss Monique reminded you to think carefully. Sheâs in a bad mood now. If she were to do something to hurt the people around you now, you better be cautious!â
Nelsonâs fingers tightened, and Naomiâs voice rang in his ears.
âIs there something urgent? Then, go ahead! I can go by myself!â
âButâ¦â Nelson hesitated.
âItâs okay! Iâll call the lawyer myself.â
Only then did Nelson nod and say, âAlright! Iâll go in a moment.â
After he hung up on the call, Nelson did not leave until he saw that Naomiâs lawyer had arrived.
â¦
At the company.
There was not a single person in the office when Nelson entered the office.
He looked at Frida suspiciously. He asked, âDidnât you say that Monique was looking for me?â
Frida said, âOh, Miss Monique went downstairs for a while. She asked you to wait for a few minutes!â
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.
âAre 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 subordinateâs stores. We will need you to go in with us to assist with the investigation!â
Naomi was stunned but she managed to ask, âSeveral items? When?â
âJust now! Weâve brought back several contraband items! Miss George, youâll know everything when you enter!â
âIâm Miss Georgeâs lawyer!â The lawyer said, âI want to vouch for my clientâ¦â
The police officer shook his head and apologized, âIâm sorry. This is a malignant case. You are not allowed to vouch for her!â
âMiss George!â The lawyer was anxious.
Naomi closed her eyes. Everything had happened so suddenly that she felt that it was a little strange.
âGo meet Walter and the others first. Iâll find a way to solve this problem!â
The lawyer nodded and said, âOkay!â
After Naomi finished speaking, she turned her head.
âAlright! Letâs enter!â
Not far behind from Naomi, Monique looked at Naomiâs back with a smirk on her face.
âYouâre just a little girl, and yet you want to fight with me?â
On the other side, Nelson had finished all the documents in his hands and found that Monique had not yet returned!
âFrida! When exactly is Monique coming?â
After a moment of hesitation, she pursed her lips before saying, âMr. Luther, she should be here a while more. Iâll go and take a lookâ¦â
âFrida!â A thought came to Nelsonâs mind and he asked Frida, âMonique is not going to come at all, is she? Are you lying to me?â
âMr. Lutherâ¦â Frida lowered her head. âI⦠It was Miss Moniqueâs order. I was forced to do it!â
Nelson felt a surge of anger in his chest. Suddenly, he felt his heart tighten.
âMonique is diverting my attention away from something! Naomi must be in danger!â
