Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073 Empathize

The next morning, after breakfast, Charlie came in to report to Amos.

“Nelson has been transferred to the hospital dedicated to the police and his condition is stable. Interrogation will begin when he recovers. Monique was interrogated for the first time, but she wasn’t very cooperative!”

Amos nodded as he replied, “It’s not surprising that she won’t cooperate. People like her will not give up until the last moment! However, it does not matter. We have time. Just keep an eye on the situation over there!”

“Okay!” Charlie nodded.

When he was about to turn around and leave, Naomi suddenly spoke.

“How’s Frida?”

Charlie was stunned. Wasn’t Frida the person who had almost stabbed Naomi? Was that why she wanted to know about what had happened to Frida?

Fortunately, he was well prepared and had taken note of her condition too.

“She was only a pawn, therefore she won’t face overly serious charges. However, she will have to go to jail! We still don’t know how many years her sentence will be, but I estimate that she will at least be given a five-years sentence!”

Naomi pursed her lips and replied, “I understand!”

Charlie did not quite understand her intentions but he did not ask any further questions.

When Charlie left, Eudora picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Naomi.

“Let bygones be bygones! We should look forward to it.”

Naomi felt a chill down her spine. Did Eudora think that she was holding a grudge?

However, she did not want to explain herself, therefore she merely nodded and gave her a simple reply, “Okay!”

After dinner, Eudora pulled her aside and said, “I’ve been playing with Cola recently, it’s quite fun. Since you’re free today, play with us too!”

“I want to go back to work,” Naomi said.

“Don’t worry!” Eudora shook her head. She added, “Your father will deal with the company’s matters! Moreover, many things are back on the right track! Don’t worry about them. The incident was too big of a matter, so you should rest for a few days at home.”

“There’s really no need for me to do that,” Naomi shook her head.

“I want to go to work now.”

“Since she wants to go to work, let her go!” Amos’s voice rang out. He said to Eudora, “I’ll play with you and Cola.”

Eudora could not help but roll her eyes at him as Amos was destroying her plan.

However, since Amos had already said so and she did not want to embarrass him, she nodded as well.

“Go then! Take good care of yourself.”

“Yes, I will!” Naomi nodded.

After Naomi left, Eudora gave Amos a hard pinch.

“Couldn’t you tell that I just wanted our daughter to heal at home? Why weren’t you helping me to advise her?”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “Do you think Naomi heals the same way as others? In fact, she’s more devastated than us because of what happened to the company. Now that she wants to make up for it, I couldn’t be happier!”

Amos was right. Naomi had always been very strong and independent since she was a child.

“But…”

“Alright, no ‘but’s! Naomi will be fine.”

After that, he reached out to remove Eudora’s fingers from his arm and lowered his head to examine them.

“Do your fingers hurt?”

After Amos said that, Eudora saw that her fingers were red.

“It’s because of your muscles!”

Amos said helplessly, “Then, I’ll stop working out in the future!”

“That won’t work either. What if you get fat? It’s better to have muscles on your body, just like the handsome guy I saw in the video. He looks perfect…”

Before her voice died away, Amos had begun to unbutton his clothes.

Eudora’s eyes widened as she said in shock, “What are you doing? It’s the middle of the day…”

Amos had already stretched out his hand to carry her. He said to her, “Didn’t you want to see my figure? Let’s go back to our room and have a good look.”

“Ah… Put me down!”

…

On the other hand, when Naomi arrived at the company, she looked for Clint.

“A rare guest!” Clint smiled. “Why have you come to see me today?”

Naomi was a little embarrassed as she replied, “I just want Uncle Clint to help me look for someone.”

“Who is it?” Clint stood up. Then, he asked again, “Wouldn’t it be faster to ask Charlie?”

“No! If Uncle Charlie found out, he would definitely tell Dad!”

Clint was speechless, he asked, “So, I’m the traitor here?”

“That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that Uncle Clint, you’re the best! You care about us juniors the most!”

Clint burst into laughter and said, “I can’t believe I would live till a day where a member of the Granger family would flatter me! Alright, tell me, what’s going on?”

Naomi then said, “One of the people who was arrested yesterday is called Frida. I want you to help me investigate her fiancé!”

“Frida? Isn’t she the one who almost stabbed you? Why are you investigating her?”

Why?

Naomi had no idea herself.

Perhaps it was because her heart had been touched when Frida had looked hopeful as she talked about her fiancé!

“It’s nothing big. I just want to know more about him. Please help me!”

“Alright!” Clint had initially thought that Naomi wanted to take her revenge. However, upon realizing that Naomi would not do anything bad, he chose to help her!

“I’ll investigate this for you as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Uncle Clint!” Naomi said.

After that, she went to work.

Although the company’s situation was better than before, there were still many areas that had been affected.

After Naomi came out from Clint’s office, she entered into the marketing department and heard the manager, Cynthia speaking.

“What happened? We’ve spent so much time on this project this year, yet you’re now telling me that you can’t finish it?”

“It’s not our fault! It’s because the company’s reputation has been damaged, so they aren’t willing to cooperate with us now.”

“That’s right! I’ve begged them every day. I even almost knelt down once!”

“Then, did you actually do it? If you haven’t tried kneeling down, do it. Otherwise, we won’t have any commission fees this month!”

“What?” Everyone was reluctant.

“This is all Missy’s fiancé’s fault! You can’t blame us. Why should our commission fees be deducted?”

Naomi took a deep breath, and slowly walked over. She pushed the door open and entered.

“Let me do it!”

Everyone in the room was stunned. The two people who had just been talking about Naomi turned their heads away in embarrassment.

Cynthia had always been very strict with Naomi before, but this time around, as a woman herself, she did not think that Naomi had done anything wrong.

Who hadn’t dated a scum before when they were young?

If they were to blame all of the things that had happened on Naomi, that would be unfair!

“It’s okay. I’ll take care of it. You just need to do your own job!”

“I’ve done my duties, so let me do it!”

Naomi insisted.

“I’m coming too,” Emma came in from behind. “Miss Naomi, you can’t forget about me!”

“Okay!” Naomi nodded.

Cynthia was incredibly gratified upon seeing the scene and agreed, “Then, I’ll leave it to you. However, if you encounter any difficulties, you must come to me!”

“Okay!” Naomi said with a smile.

“I will!”
