Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035 Too Late To Regret

Nelson stood up immediately. He turned around and ran downstairs while dialing the number on his phone.

“Frida, what happened? How did Valiant East’s project collapse?”

On the other side of the phone, Frida was also dumbfounded. She said with shock in her voice, “Collapsed? No way!”

“Now is not the time for you to have any suspicions. The news is out. Did Monique instruct you to do something again?”

“No, she didn’t, Mr. Luther! Miss Monique hasn’t bothered about these things recently ever since you told her that you would take care of it yourself.”

“What about the materials?”

“The materials were just as we arranged before! We would make them fail the standards required for the project and ruin their reputation. Could it be that the material supplier was lying?”

Frida told Nelson everything, “However, wouldn’t this help us finish our plan ahead of time? Weren’t we hoping from the start that Valiant East would be destroyed?”

Nelson’s footsteps came to a halt once again.

Frida was right. Wasn’t the current outcome what he had been expecting? What exactly was he afraid of?

As long as he accomplished his task, he could avenge for Tiffany, who was a victim. Also, he would not be controlled by Monique anymore, able to live a new life.

He could also travel far away with Naomi!

Naomi!

The thought of her brought Nelson back to reality. Right, where was Naomi?

He thought about it and could not help but call out Naomi’s name. Frida paused for a moment before saying, “Mr. Luther, are you thinking about Miss George? Miss George should be in the detention center at this moment! Perhaps this incident is a good thing for Miss George! Due to the fact that she has been in the detention center the whole time, this matter doesn’t have anything to do with her.”

That little devil in Nelson’s heart suddenly appeared again.

That was right!

The incident had nothing to do with Naomi! It was the Granger family’s business. As long as Valiant East got punished, it meant that he had helped Tiffany to get her revenge!

“Mr. Luther, are you still there?”

After Frida called his name a few times, Nelson finally regained his composure.

“Yes, I am,” he answered in a low voice.

“Is there anything else you need me to do?” Frida asked again.

Nelson opened his mouth. However, in the end, he shook his head and said, “No! You can take a rest.”

After that, he hung up on the call and looked up at the thundering sky.

The sky was dark and nothing could be seen.

Maybe he should pretend that he knew nothing about what had happened that night. Everything would be over by the next day!

After he decided to be heartless, he turned around and entered his room.

He forced himself to take a shower and then went to bed.

However, he could not sleep well that night.

He had a dream, in which he seemed to be an onlooker at the site.

Then, he spotted the collapsed site and many people were searching for survivors. The whole place was in a state of chaos!

He stood there for a while and suddenly saw a familiar petite figure in the crowd. She wore a helmet and her face was covered with mud.

Like everyone else, she desperately removed the collapsed concrete pieces with her bare hands.

She clearly was wearing a pair of gloves, but her fingers were still worn out, her blood dying the gloves red.

What was even more terrifying was that no one had noticed her condition.

Behind them, the half-collapsed wall began to crack as the heavy rain washed against it.

Just as that slab of concrete was about to collapse, Nelson suddenly shouted loudly.

“Be careful!”

Naomi, in his dream, raised her head, as if she had heard something, and looked in his direction.

Then, with a loud sound, she was buried!

Nelson was awakened by a loud noise. The sky outside had yet to light up.

He realized that it had been a dream, took a deep breath, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and began to check the day’s news.

If he was not wrong, Valiant East’s scandal would be spread all over the city after the night before!

He searched for the keywords, and a lot of news articles came out.

As Nelson read on, there were indeed many people blaming Valiant East.

For the most part, Valiant East was said to be wicked, dishonest, and murderous!

Even the kind deeds that they had done previously had all been turned into dust!

Nelson, who held his mobile phone, gradually calmed down. He got up, washed up, and changed his clothes.

When he was done, the sky had gotten much brighter. He picked up his mobile phone and continued to browse the latest news while going downstairs.

With a faint sound, another broadcast of the latest news appeared on the screen. Nelson was stunned. The next second, as he read the words on the screen clearly, his hand slackened, and the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground with a crash.

He trembled, picked up his mobile phone and called Frida quickly.

“Contact the lawyer immediately and ask him if Naomi is still in the detention center.”

“Mr. Luther, I saw the news just now and I have already asked him! The lawyer said…”

Her voice became lower and lower, and gradually, she could not be heard clearly.

“What did the lawyer say?” Nelson felt that his brain was buzzing, and he was losing his mind.

“Say it!”

He shouted again.

“Miss George was released from bail after what happened last night! She’s really… on the site of the project!”

With a bang, the phone fell to the ground.

After that, he frantically ran downstairs, not even having time to pick up his mobile phone.

…

In the hospital, Clint bowed his head apologetically and took out his mobile phone to call Amos.

“President Granger, I’m sorry. I’ve failed to protect Miss Naomi. Something has happened to her…”

Amos was cooking and his phone had been picked up by Eudora. When she heard about the incident, Eudora ran out and started the car herself.

Amos heard the sound of the car’s engine and went out.

“What happened? Why are you driving all of a sudden?”

Eudora’s face was filled with tears as she said, “Naomi is in trouble. We must go back right now!”

Amos saw her expression and knew how serious the situation was.

“Get out of the car. I’ll drive. I promise you she’ll be fine.”

“No, I’ll drive! You need to contact the doctor.”

Amos had a lot of connections, and he understood many other things better.

Amos heard Eudora’s words and no longer insisted. He got into the passenger seat as Eudora stepped on the accelerator. They left in a hurry.

…

When Nelson arrived at the hospital, Naomi was still in the rescue process. Clint was also covered in mud, and he paced back and forth at the door of the emergency room.

Things had turned out to be exactly the same as in the dream he had the night before.

Nelson felt a shiver in his heart. He had no idea why, but he felt as if he had made the most regretful decision in his life!

As he was in thought, the doors of the emergency room opened.

A nurse came out from the emergency room and asked, “Where are her family members? The patient is in critical condition. The doctor has issued a notice of critical state, so please sign it on behalf of her family members!”

Clint was shocked as he replied, “How could this happen?”

“Are you her family member? Sign it! We need to rescue her immediately!”

Clint extended his hand and was just about to take the letter over when Nelson, who was standing behind him, suddenly pushed him away with reddened eyes.

“Don’t sign it! Naomi will be fine. I don’t believe that anything will happen to her!”
