Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039 Didn’t You Dislike Her?

Monique glared at Amos as she replied, “Of course I’ll have to go back and have a look! However, Amos, I won’t just sit quietly and wait for my doom! You’re in trouble yourself! Let’s see how you deal with this!”

“You don’t have to worry about me!”

After saying that, Amos left with his men.

Clint kept quiet until they got out of the house.

“Why didn’t we arrest Monique directly? She made our company suffer a lot this time. If we arrest her, we can explain to the media…”

“Do we have any proof?” Amos asked.

“No, we don’t,” Clint immediately shut up.

“Nevertheless, we can still search for evidence. I’m sure we will be able to find some!”

“It’ll be very difficult!” Amos said in a low voice. “Now, other people are basically her scapegoats! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.”

“However, aren’t we keeping her on guard by coming to see her?”

“Not necessarily!” Amos said in a low voice. “For a woman like Monique, it is better to make her feel fear face-to-face than to be wary about her next actions. Otherwise, I’m afraid that when we’re still thinking of countermeasures, she will already have done something bad! For now, at least she will quiet down for a period of time! Then, we will have more time to look for evidence!”

“Mr. Granger, you’re right!”

Clint nodded as Amos’ words were true.

Although he had worked for Amos for many years, he was still slightly weaker than Amos when it came to strategizing.

That was the reason why he admired Amos so much! He was born with such excellent genes so it was difficult for Clint to reach his level.

…

On the other side, Monique had suddenly disappeared for the past few days.

It had been quite easy for Nelson to stay in the hospital and accompany Naomi.

Naomi’s physical condition was decent, and she had recovered quite well. Only two days had passed, but she could already sit up and eat fruits!

Nelson helped her to peel the fruit and cut them into small pieces before feeding them to Naomi piece-by-piece.

“Does it taste good?” Nelson asked.

Naomi blinked her eyes and gradually frowned.

Nelson thought the fruits did not taste good, therefore he hurriedly stretched out his hand and placed it under her mouth. He said, “Spit it out, I’ll throw it away for you.”

Naomi really wanted to spit out the fruit, but she then quickly spotted Nelson’s hand under her mouth, ready to receive the carcasses of the apple.

She quickly held his hand and said, “I’m lying to you, silly! How could the apples that you’ve bought taste bad?”

“Really?” Nelson asked. In reality, he was not worried that the apples tasted bad, but rather that Monique would do something bad behind his back, like poisoning Naomi!

“Of course! It’s delicious!”

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, his mobile phone rang. He put down the plate in his hand and said, “I’m going to make a call!”

Naomi picked the fork up herself and began to eat the fruits as she watched him leave.

The phone call was from Frida. When it got connected, she sounded incredibly secretive as she spoke, “Mr. Luther, please return to the company!”

“What happened? Did anything happen to the company?”

Frida refused to say anything, only insisting that Nelson should return to the company. He felt that something was amiss and immediately nodded his head.

“I’m going now!”

After he hung up on the call, he went back and told Naomi. Just in time, Naomi was going to rest as well.

He promised her that he would be back when she woke up.

Then, he got up and left.

When he reached the company, Frida was already waiting for him outside. Upon seeing him come in, she quickly came up to him.

“Mr. Luther, I’ve just gotten news that something has happened to our headquarters in Bookerfield City!”

“What happened?” Nelson was curious.

“Something big happened. The company has been closed down as someone reported us!”

It was indeed a big deal. In the past, Monique still had the upper hand in Bookerfield City, so it was reasonable to say that such a problem could not happen!

“Has Monique looked for me?”

Frida shook her head and said, “No, she hasn’t. Miss Monique must be really busy at the moment, therefore she does not have time to look for you!”

Nelson pursed his lips before saying, “Let’s talk inside. Tell me everything you know!”

A few minutes later, Frida told Nelson everything that she knew.

She asked nervously, “Do you think we will be affected? If we get affected, can our task be completed?”

In the past, she might not have been so enthusiastic to complete the task. However, it was currently different!

Last time, Monique had promised her that as long as she completed the task, she could leave Bookerfield City and be freed from Monique’s control.

She wanted to stay in Rosaville City to start a new life.

Nelson shook his head as he was deep in thought. He said, “I don’t know either!”

He genuinely had no idea at all! Amos’ strength was truly beyond his imagination. He was able to control everything as soon as he returned.

At the thought of Amos, Nelson suddenly had a realization.

He said, “Frida, can you get in touch with Richard? Help me to get in touch with him and ask him to come back.”

“Didn’t Miss Monique send Richard on a business trip, though?”

Nelson closed his eyes and said, “You also know that she sent Richard away to control me. Now that I’m working for her, shouldn’t she let Richard return? Please arrange for him to return as soon as possible. I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens!”

“Oh!” Frida nodded and agreed. “Alright then!”

After saying so, she left.

In the following two days, news of Monique’s situation abroad was sent back one after another, but none of them were good news. Of course, they weren’t too bad either!

Richard finally returned two days later.

After the assignment, he had become a lot more tanned and thinner!

The first thing he did after he came back was to meet Nelson.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you this time!”

Nelson patted him on the shoulder. There really was no need to talk about such matters between close friends like them! Just a pat on his shoulder was enough to explain his emotions.

“Help me investigate something!”

Richard was stunned and so he asked, “What is it?”

“My mother!” Nelson said. “I want to know if what my mother said was true or false!”

Richard asked, “You suspect that Madam Leon…”

Richard gaped.

“Yes!” Nelson nodded. Then, he continued, “If someone told me from the beginning that Amos was not that kind of person, I might not have believed them. However, not only have I heard about such news, but I’ve also seen him with my own eyes. Has Amos really done such a thing? I don’t really believe it! Now, the only person that I can trust is you! So…”

“I understand!” Richard nodded. “You’re worried that Patrick might have also been bribed! As for Madam Leon, she might have some prejudices therefore she conspired with Monique because they had the same enemy!”

Nelson nodded and said, “You’re indeed my good friend.”

“I’ll head out right away!” Richard said.

“It’s okay! Take a rest first and start after you take a shower,” Nelson said. “I’m going to the hospital. I’ll ask Frida to arrange for you to rest!”

Upon hearing his words, Richard turned to look at Nelson.

“Is Miss George all right?”

Nelson was stunned, then he replied, “Ah, she’s better now! Her body recovers very quickly. If no problems arise, she should be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days time!”

When Nelson spoke of that, he suddenly became curious.

“I thought you said that you didn’t like her?”

Richard smiled awkwardly as he said, “Did I?”
