Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096 Shield

“You…” Norman’s face darkened. He was already of a certain age, and the Olsen family had always been stern when educating their children, therefore they were used to treating the younger generation like this.

However, no one had ever talked back to him like this. Even Culver, the most influential figure in public, still had to listen to his parents’ arrangements when he was back home.

It was the first time that someone had said that to him. How could he stand it?

“Men, get Miss George out of here! She’s not allowed to enter our house again.”

“Fine, I’ll leave!” Also enraged, she added, “I don’t want to be here either!”

After that, she was about to leave.

She was dragged back by Culver.

He whispered to her in a low voice, “Don’t forget about your duties.”

Naomi was speechless.

She had indeed forgotten about the deal.

Generally speaking, there were no strange elders in the Granger family. She had lived in Clearwater Bay with her parents. From a young age, her parents were respectful of her lifestyle and took care of her mental state.

Therefore, she had gotten used to such treatment. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and stopped.

“Dad, Mom, if you want Naomi to go, then I’ll leave with her!”

“How dare you…”

Norman still wanted to refute, but Marilyn stretched out her hand and grabbed him.

“That’s enough. Culver’s finally home. Can’t you talk to him nicely?”

She could see that Culver was incredibly determined this time. It was unwise for them to fight head-on. It would be better to take things slow.

“Loraine, prepare lunch. Culver will have lunch first before leaving!”

She turned around.

She spoke to Norman, “Didn’t you just say that you still have something important to do? Go and do your own work! I’ll have a rest! Culver, take Miss George around the garden!”

When everyone left, Marilyn turned to look at the butler, Tommy.

“How is she?”

Tommy replied respectfully, “When they entered the house, I heard Miss George talking about our building and her mother. She seems to be quite knowledgeable.”

Marilyn pursed her lips and said, “No matter how knowledgeable she is, I don’t think she’s that great of a person. How can she be compared to Judy?”

Puzzled, Tommy asked, “Actually, if Young Master Culver doesn’t like Miss Judy, you can’t force him to do so either!”

“Do you think I want to force him? It’s just that if I don’t do this, he will lose a good opportunity. Judy is virtuous and generous, yet Culver isn’t willing to give her a chance. If he gives her a chance, I don’t believe that he wouldn’t like her! As for this woman, I’ve thought about it and I haven’t heard Culver talk about her before. I feel that he is faking their relationship!”

Tommy was taken aback and asked, “You mean that Young Master Culver purposely found this woman to make you angry?”

“I don’t think it’s to make me angry. I’m afraid that he is using her as a shield for himself. If this ordinary woman really had a good relationship with Culver, how could she be so insolent towards Norman and myself? She should be desperate for us to like her!”

Tommy suddenly understood and said, “What you said seems to be true.”

“That’s why I need you to do this later…”

Tommy slowly approached Marilyn and listened closely to her.

…

In the garden, Culver put his hands into his pockets and frowned as he looked at Naomi.

“Didn’t we agree that you’ll make my parents like you? Why did you fight with them just now?”

Naomi said with a frown, “You’ve seen what happened just now. I didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Sure, you didn’t do it on purpose, but it’ll really be impossible for my parents like you now!”

Naomi immediately became nervous and asked, “What do you mean? Are you going to call off our agreement?”

Culver snorted.

Naomi said shamelessly, “That won’t do! This is just the beginning! If you stop cooperating now, then I won’t keep my promise!”

No matter what, she could not let Culver go back on his words. At the moment, she was in a difficult spot!

Culver frowned and said, “If you understand that you shouldn’t make me go back on my word, shouldn’t you change your behavior a little?”

Naomi said with a sigh, “Alright, I understand!”

What a scheming man! If he wanted to say that she was not doing well, he should have just said so directly.

They walked around the garden before someone came to inform them that it was time to have lunch.

Naomi took a deep breath and got ready to enter the ‘battlefield’.

Unexpectedly, Norman and Marilyn did not make things difficult. Although they looked upset, they did not say anything while she was eating at the table.

It was not until she was about to leave that Marilyn finally spoke.

“Since Culver likes you, as his mother, I have no choice but to accept this, even if I am unwilling to. Miss George, what’s your family’s background? What do your parents do for a living?”

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat. Was it another trick?

Naturally, she could not reveal her true identity. She did not want her parents to be worried about her.

Naomi made up a story casually.

“M-my family is from Long City. My parents are ordinary farmers. I have just graduated and started my own business!”

Marilyn frowned slightly and asked, “Where do you live now?”

Naomi opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was living in a rented apartment.

The next second, Culver spoke before her, “She’s staying at my place.”

Marilyn’s expression changed again. She said in a slightly higher pitch, “You’ve only known each other for a short period of time, yet you’re already living together? Isn’t that inappropriate?”

Culver shook his head and explained, “This is the way young people get along now. I don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about this!”

Marilyn clenched her fists and then released them.

“Fine! You don’t have anyone to take care of you now, so I’ll ask the housekeeper to send Loraine to take care of you two.”

“There’s no need for that!” Culver said, “I have a part-time maid over there.”

“Part-time maids are outsiders after all, and Loraine is a member of our family. She has watched you grow up! I can only be rest assured if she’s there to care for you. It’s settled then!”

Then, Loraine stepped forward slowly.

In fact, Tommy had told Loraine earlier in the morning to adapt to the situation as quickly as possible!

“Young Master Culver, you liked the cake I made for you the most when you were a child. I’ll make it for you every day.”

Culver took a deep breath. Truth be told, he knew that whatever Marilyn had decided for him couldn’t be changed.

If he were to say too much, it would be bad for Marilyn’s health!

“Alright then!”

“Alright then, where’s Walter? Ask him to send you back.”

After that, Culver placed his arm around Naomi’s shoulder.

“Let’s go!”

Naomi was dumbfounded. She had thought that it was just a casual remark. What was the meaning of his current actions?

Naomi immediately lowered her voice and whispered, “Did you make a mistake? We didn’t have this kind of deal.”

Culver also gritted his teeth and said, “Did you think I want to live with you? This is all because you didn’t manage to win my parents’ hearts.”

“Then, I quit!”

As she spoke, she wanted to break free, but was held down tightly by Culver.

“Are you serious? If you leave now, the police will contact you tomorrow.”

“You’re shameless.”

“It’s all up to you what to do! Of course, you don’t have to be worried. I’m not interested in you.”

Naomi had no choice but to keep quiet!

She could only bear with it since she needed his help.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside Culver’s residence. Loraine enthusiastically took out all her things, while Naomi fiercely pulled Culver into a room.

As Loraine watched them, her mobile phone rang.
