Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026 Hostage

When Nelson rushed to the police station, he only saw Naomi’s lawyer coming out by himself.

“Where’s Naomi?” Nelson asked nervously.

The lawyer sighed and said, “I’m sorry, but Miss George was just taken in to assist with the investigation! She asked me to leave and collect information, but I couldn’t find any clues. I’m going back to look through the books…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Nelson had already gotten up and entered the place.

The officers in the police station heard that Nelson was looking for someone, therefore they directly asked him to leave.

“Sir, Naomi is a suspect involved in a serious case. Therefore, you can’t visit her! Please cooperate with us!”

“She is innocent!” Nelson pursed his lips.  “How can you arrest people as you wish before the investigations are made clear!”

“We are working in accordance with the law!” The police officer’s attitude was firm as well. He said, “We must bring in anyone who is suspicious!”

“Then, take me in too! I know everything that she knows!”

“Sir, please don’t interfere with our work!”

Seeing that the officers were beginning to drive him away, Nelson became angry.

The atmosphere between Nelson and the officers suddenly became tense. Fortunately, Harley came in from the outside and saw this scene.

“He’s an acquaintance! I know him!” Harley interupted.

When the police officer saw Harley, his tone became a little relaxed.

“Officer Louis, we’re not trying to disrespect you. It’s just that we’re doing things according to the law. You should understand this. Please ask your friend to not make trouble!”

“Okay, okay!” Harley nodded and stretched out his hand to pull Nelson out.

“I roughly know what has happened to Naomi. The situation this time is quite strange! Although I am not responsible for this case, I know all about it! There was no trace of the incident at all, yet the contraband was discovered instantly! Since you have the time to make trouble, it’s better for you to head out and investigate. Find out what exactly happened!”

“You have been with Naomi recently, so think about who she might have offended! Perhaps she was framed by someone?”

“As for Naomi, don’t worry. I’m here, so what could happen to her? Besides, we’re police officers. Nothing will happen to her!”

Harley was certain with his promise.

Moreover, with Harley’s assurance, Nelson was relieved. However, when he heard Harley mention that the matter was quite strange, he was a little stunned for a while.

“Nelson?” Harley called him again.

Only then did he come back to his senses and say, “Okay! Thank you, Mr. Louis.”

After that, he turned and walked out.

Harley suddenly stopped him again to say, “By the way, if you manage to think of who Naomi has come in contact with who has something to do with this, you must tell me immediately! That way, it’d be convenient for us to continue our investigation!”

“Alright!” Nelson nodded.

When he got into the car, he leaned on the steering wheel and sighed deeply.

There was a soft laugh behind him, “What’s the matter? Are you distressed?”

Nelson was startled. When he looked back, he saw Monique, who was in the back seat of his car!

“I’ve promised you that I’ll do something to the Granger family. You really don’t have to harm innocent people!”

“So what? I don’t believe in you anymore! What are you going to do about that? You b*stard, you are too good at telling lies!”

Nelson frowned and said, “Haven’t you heard plans might backfire?”

Monique giggled.

“Are you threatening me? Such a disobedient child!”

“Monique!” Nelson gritted his teeth.

“Are you angry?” Monique chuckled and added, “Alright! I know that you love her deeply, but Naomi is fine, isn’t she? As long as you successfully complete the task, I can guarantee you that nothing will happen to her!”

It suddenly dawned on him that Monique was worried that he would not help her with the task.

“Actually, I’m doing this for your own good!” Monique said. Then, she continued, “Think about it, if Naomi wasn’t trapped, could you lay hands on her parents and her family’s business?”

Nelson clenched his fists tightly and said, “I understand now!”

“That’s right! I’ve asked around! Recently, there’s a project in Valiant East. It’s a charity project that has been authorized by relevant organizations! If we do something to it, Valiant East’s reputation over the years, as well as other aspects, will all be ruined.”

“A company’s reputation is of utmost importance! You should know more than anything else!”

After that, Monique sighed, leaned against the seat, and laid down.

“Take me home first!”

Nelson looked at the entrance of the police station before starting the car.

After sending Monique home, Nelson went straight to the company.

Frida was incredibly nervous. She thought that Nelson would vent his anger on her because of what had just happened.

When she saw him return to the office, she followed behind him cautiously, “Mr. Luther…”

“Don’t say anything else! Go and investigate Valiant East’s project immediately.”

Frida blinked for a moment, and then nodded, “Alright! I’ll go right away.”

The results came out soon. Just as Monique said, the project was in progress. Naomi was supposed to be in charge of it, but because Naomi had taken a two-day leave, she had handed it over to her colleagues to continue.

After learning about the situation, Nelson immediately called Frida.

“Come with me!”

On their way, she asked Nelson cautiously, “Mr. Luther, is Miss George okay? I really didn’t know that Miss Monique would do that.”

When the topic came to Naomi, Nelson was thrown into a bad mood. However, at that moment, he refused to vent his emotions on others.

Therefore, he did not answer. He paused for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.

He paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Since things have already escalated till this point, there’s no need for me to say anything anymore! If you had a chance to help her, would you take it?”

“I would!” Frida said.

When she had first become Monique’s subordinate, she was often bullied by others because she was only a young child!

At that time, only Nelson and Richard had helped her.

Although she was afraid of Monique, she did not want to lose friends like Nelson and Richard!

Nelson had said that on purpose because he knew of her moral standing.

“That’s good. You may need to stay in Valiant East later. I’ll say this once more to you, you can only listen to my orders! You cannot do anything that requires you to use your authority without my permission!”

“Okay!” Frida nodded. “This time, I’ll definitely listen to you!”

After a while, they arrived at the site of the Granger family’s project.

They happened to run into some troublesome matters. Naomi’s colleague was surrounded by several people and was not able to find a way to deal with them.

“Please, everyone. Please give me some time to understand! I don’t understand what you’re talking about right now!”

Nelson gave Frida a look, and she immediately understood what he meant and walked over!

“As for the situation you mentioned, I think…”

Frida had undergone professional training before, and as soon as she went over, she began to explain the circumstances, immediately solving all of those people’s problems!

Naomi’s colleague looked at Nelson with admiration.

“Did Naomi ask the two of you to come here? You two are so awesome!”
