Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088 The Price of Avarice Is Death

The next morning, after Naomi got up, she took the initiative to contact Culver’s assistant, Aaron.

Aaron spoke as usual, with no emotion at all.

Naomi was already used to his behavior, therefore she was not bothered about it.

She got straight to the point and said, “Give me your account number. I will transfer the money right away.”

Emma ran in from outside just as Aaron was about to speak.

“Something bad has happened!”

Naomi quickly covered the microphone and said, “Could you please send the account number to my mobile phone? I’ll transfer the money to the account number.”

After that, she instantly hung up on the call.

“What’s wrong?”

Emma sweated profusely and said, “I just received a phone call from the landlord saying that her family had an emergency and she wants us to pay for a year’s rent immediately, or we’ll have to move out immediately!”

“What?” Naomi frowned as she asked in disbelief, “How could this be?”

Emma pursed her lips and said, “I’ve already argued with her, but she was very determined. She said that if we don’t pay her, she will throw our things out!”

“Let me go and have a look!”

When they arrived at the company, as expected, the landlord was already at the door with someone.

Naomi looked at them and felt a little angry.

However, she was there to ask for their help, therefore she had to restrain herself.

“Sir, we aren’t people who won’t pay rent. Didn’t we agree before that when we’re done with this project, we’ll pay the rent at once? We can only pay for this month’s rent at the moment!”

“That was before, but now our family needs the money!” the landlord said.

However, the landlord’s wife was kinder.

“We’re not doing this on purpose. It’s true that something has happened to our family. Our family member is seriously ill and needs to go abroad for treatment. We have no other choice but to do this.”

Naomi was really angry at first.

However, after she heard what the landlord’s wife said, her anger instantly dissipated!

Everyone was having a hard time, so she could not be too stubborn about the matter.

However, if their money was to be used to pay for a year’s rent, then what about the repair fee for the car?

“Naomi, what should we do?” Emma asked.

Naomi looked at the landlord and then looked at Emma.

“Forget it, we’ll pay the rent first!”

One reason was that they needed this office now. The other reason was that when she saw the landlord’s family in urgent need of money, she felt that as a person with a conscience, she should lend a helping hand!

…

Moments later, the landlord and his wife left with the money.

Naomi leaned against the office table and slowly closed her eyes.

The sound of footsteps came, and Emma entered from the outside.

“Why don’t you ask your parents for help? Just say that we will borrow their money! In the future, we’ll…”

“No!” Naomi refused immediately.

“When I promised to start my own business, I didn’t even think about asking them for any help. Furthermore, I’m not at home. If they know that I’m not doing well here, my mom will worry about me again!”

“Culver is not someone to be messed with either…”

“I know!”

She thought about it and hoped that there might be some other way to save their situation.

However, reality proved that she was too naïve. Soon afterwards, her mobile phone rang again. It was Culver’s secretary’s voice, which sounded vaguely automatic.

“Miss George, I have sent the account number to you two hours ago, but we have not seen the money in the account yet.”

Naomi frowned.

She said determinedly, “I want to meet Mr. Olsen.”

“I’m sorry, but Mr. Olsen has no time to see you!” the secretary said. “Miss George, if you can’t transfer the money on time, then we’ll hand over this matter to the authorities!”

“No, don’t do that!” Naomi was anxious.

If the authorities were to be involved, it would have a negative impact on her company. The company’s reputation had been ruined before it could even start because of a series of things that had happened before!

If they got sued and the matter went to court, then they will not be able to stay in Greene City anymore!

She suddenly thought of an excuse.

“Isn’t there a time limit? He told us that he would give us three days’ time before, and today is only the second day!”

The secretary paused for a moment and said, “Okay, Miss George, if you want to wait until the last moment, that’s fine. However, we’ll also immediately hand it to the authorities when the time comes. I hope Miss George pays attention to the deadline!”

After that, the secretary hung up on the call.

Naomi could not help but roll her eyes. What kind of company was that?

Even the employees have the same personality as their leaders. It annoyed her to no end!

“What did they say?” Emma asked anxiously.

“It’s okay, I will handle it. In these two days, please sort out some of the company’s information and then hand it to the major bidding meetings.”

There was no other choice. Her reputation was probably ruined, so it would be very difficult for her to find a company to collaborate with.

She had no choice but to try bidding!

“What about you?” Emma asked curiously.

“Me?” The image of Culver’s annoying face appeared in Naomi’s mind as she said, “I’m going to find that annoying person! I’ll try and see if we can work things out.”

Emma nodded and said, “Okay, be careful.”

As they spoke, a familiar name appeared on the screen next to them.

“The President of the Olsen Group, Culver Olsen, has been spotted in the Greene City Hotel, a rare occurrence. It was said that the Olsen Group might join forces with the Hayes Group through marriage…”

Naomi’s eyes lit up. She said immediately, “I’ve searched high and low for him, but he has appeared in the news unexpectedly! I was still worried about how to track him down! Now that he is at Greene City Hotel, I’ll head over there right now!”

After that, she did not wait for Emma’s reply, and directly went out.

Emma was stunned when she heard Naomi’s footsteps getting further away.

“You haven’t had your lunch yet!”

…

In Greene City Hotel.

Due to Culver’s arrival, quite a number of people had flocked over.

Some people in the business industry wanted to seek opportunities to collaborate with him, some women wanted to have a romantic encounter with him, and there were also reporters from various TV stations looking to publish an exclusive scoop!

Naomi wandered outside the door for a long time, but she did not manage to squeeze into the crowd.

Her surroundings were too crazy!

As expected, the atmosphere in Greene City was incredibly strange. Such a thing would never happen in Rosaville City!

Naomi still had not had her lunch yet, so her stomach felt empty. In the end, she had no choice but to wait outside the hotel.

Otherwise, she would have to wait for a long time at the entrance!

…

At the same time, Culver sat on the main seat of the largest luxury restaurant in the hotel. He looked at the group of people in front of him with a lazy attitude.

The person sitting the closest to him was the youngest daughter of the Hayes Group, Judy Hayes.

At one glance, she looked like a delicate lady. Culver had seen many girls like her and they were as dull as dishwater to him.

On the other side were his parents and Judy’s parents. They were all talking happily with each other, as though they had not met each other for a long period of time.

Culver could not help but sigh. It was obvious that they secretly hated each other. He knew that both parties had made arrangements in private in order to increase their business opportunities.

They were going to be in-laws for the sake of their own interests!

Human beings would really do everything for the sake of their own interests.
