Chapter 947: Chapter 947 Joining Forces

When Nelson arrived at the scene, everyone was fighting each other.

From a distance, Nelson saw that Naomi was being surrounded by the crowd. She was just standing there, doing nothing, as if she was standing in a bubble, secluded from the world.

Nelson got out of the car.

Richard hurriedly called out to him again, “Sir, what are you going to do? There are too many people there now, so it’ll be dangerous for you to go over there!”

Nelson frowned and said, “What I do is none of your business!”

“Sir, have you forgotten about our plan?”

Nelson stopped in his tracks and said, “I haven’t! It’s just that the plan has changed!”

After that, he hastily squeezed his way into the crowd.

“Stop!”

With his shout, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.

“It’s Mr. Luther! Mr. Luther is here!”

Naomi also followed everyone’s gaze and saw that Nelson was walking slowly towards her. He was like Prince Charming who had come to get her out of trouble.

He walked up to Naomi and held her hand.

“Naomi, I’m sorry. I’m late!”

Naomi looked at him in shock, but he just smiled at Naomi.

“Why didn’t you tell them that we are a couple?”

As soon as he finished his words, the crowd burst into an uproar again.

“Are you two really a couple? Is this an attempt to conceal the truth?”

When Nelson heard this question, he looked coldly at the person who spoke.

“My girlfriend and I are just announcing our relationship to the public. We have nothing to conceal. Can you tell me why Naomi and I are not compatible? She is unmarried and so am I!”

“Your company and hers are collaborating with each other…”

Nelson sneered and said, “What kind of law states that a couple’s companies are not allowed to have a collaboration? Valiant East is the leading company in the industry whereas Inchee Company is a rising star. We will have more chances to cooperate with each other in the future. Do you have a problem with that?”

The reporter was rendered speechless by Nelson’s constant retorts.

“If I hear rumors going around about us again, be ready for an attorney’s letter from both Valiant East and Inchee Company!”

Someone said with a laugh, “Since Mr. Luther, Inchee Company’s very own president, has said so, then what’s the use of looking more into it? Congratulations! You two have joined forces so I believe that both of your companies’ performance will certainly go up a notch!”

Naomi was bewildered as she let go of Nelson’s hand.

“President?”

Nelson winked at her and said, “Naughty girl, what are you calling me that in public? Let’s go back first to talk this out!”

Hearing his words, the crowd dispersed.

After they left the entrance of the company, only then did Naomi pull back her hand which had been held by Nelson.

“You lied to me? Didn’t you say that you were just a staff member in your company?”

Nelson pursed his lips and said, “Sorry, I admit that I lied to you in the beginning. However, I meant no harm! Inchee Company has just entered the local market. I simply want to get to know my collaborator in person. Otherwise, if I were to meet my collaborator as a president, there would be a lot of restrictions. So, I came up with this idea. I’m really sorry if it bothered you.”

Naomi’s clenched fists slowly loosened.

“I’m not bothered by this. We’re just friends after all. Thank you for saving me just now, Mr. Luther!”

Then, she got ready to leave.

Nelson stopped her again and said, “Naomi, don’t worry about the news on the Internet. I will settle it as soon as possible.”

Naomi stayed quiet, immediately walking away.

It wasn’t until Naomi left that Nelson got back into the car.

“Richard, go and…”

Richard said, “Everything has been arranged! How bossy you were just now! We had already agreed that you would temporarily use a fake identity to interact with Miss George since Amos is too shrewd and he might discover your real identity anytime. You ran out so suddenly just now, so I could only call our overseas connections immediately to ask them to deal with the matter of your identity! Let’s pray that Amos won’t conduct an investigation on you too quickly!”

Nelson stretched out his hand and patted Richard’s shoulder.

“Thank you!”

Richard turned his head away and said, “I don’t need your appreciation. I’m just curious as to why you changed your mind. Don’t tell me that you’ve really fallen in love with Miss George! Were you anxious to see her getting bullied?”

Nelson chuckled and shook his head.

“Are you kidding me? How could I have been? Have you forgotten how miserable we had been in the past? I’ve told you countless times that I must seek revenge on the people who have hurt me. However, I realized that the method we used was too slow to actually have an impact! This incident is a good opportunity to enable us to achieve our goals earlier!”

Richard, dumbstruck, just replied, “Whatever! I hope these are your true feelings. I still have some matters to handle, so I’ll go back to the company first. Be careful, because Amos is definitely going to get even with you for this!”

…

At the same time, Amos and Eudora were on a trip with Thea and Harley.

They went to the hot springs in a resort again.

Many years ago, they had come here before, so this trip could be considered as one down memory lane.

However, they were having a slightly different experience this time. Back in the day, they each had their own matters to handle. Now, everyone was more open-minded and they indulged in the hot spring for almost half a day.

After showering and changing into a new set of clothes, Eudora took out her phone and realized what was going on in the news.

Amidst her apprehension as she sat there and read the news, she forgot to dry her hair.

Seeing that, Amos took his towel and carefully dried her hair.

“What’s wrong?”

“Something bad has happened to Naomi! Look at this…”

Amos stretched out his head to take a look. In the next second, he blew his top.

In the next second, he blew his top, “They’ve gone too far! Don’t worry, I’ll call Clint at once!”

Clint had to deal with some business in the countryside that day. He had just figured out the ins and outs of Naomi’s matter right before he received the phone call from Amos. Then, he told Amos everything he knew without delay.

“At the end of the day, Nelson and Miss Naomi proclaimed that they are in a relationship!”

Amos said, “Go and find out who exactly this ‘Nelson Luthor’ fellow is right now.”

“Yes, Mr. Granger!”

After hanging up on the call, they were no longer in the mood to have a vacation.

They got up swiftly and began to pack up their belongings, ready to return home.

Tina was more optimistic as she said, “I’ve read the news. Nelson seems to be a pretty reliable guy. I have no objection to them being together if Naomi really likes him.”

Thea was unhappy upon hearing that. She retorted, “Then, what about Benedict? Eudora, you know that he has always taken a fancy to Naomi.”

Eudora sighed and said, “Let’s not talk about this now. I just want to go back and see how Naomi is doing!”

“Then, let’s go back too!” the others also decided.

They returned to Rosaville City in the afternoon.

However, Naomi and Nelson had become the subject of much local gossip. Rumors were spreading all over the city about their relationship and about the collaboration between Valiant East and Inchee Company.
