One Night Stand With That Beggar

When Nelson woke up in the morning, he received news of Leslie’s car accident.

As he looked at the news reported on the television, he knew very well who was behind it! However, he knew that arguing with her was useless.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Monique had done so on purpose, not just to punish those who destroyed her plans.

The accident was also a warning for him!

Nelson clenched his fist, took a deep breath and got up to go to work.

As expected, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Monique standing at the front of his door.

“I’m going to have breakfast. Can I follow your car?”

“No, you can’t!” Nelson said in a cold voice.

Monique was not angry. She said slowly, “It seems that you already know everything, yet you still can’t learn to be cruel. It seems that what I’ve taught you has amounted to nothing in the past few years!”

Nelson’s heart held a ball of pent-up fire. Upon hearing her words, he became angry again.

However, in the end, he held himself back and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to the company!”

Monique raised her eyebrows. She said, “It’s not like there isn’t any progress. Isn’t this progress for you already? You know what to say and what not to say! Well, I’ll wait for the day that you admit that my words were right. If a person wants to succeed, he must be heartless. Without a heart, he will not have any worries! Sometimes, it’s not that we are vicious, but that we just want to protect ourselves!”

Vicious?

Nelson was a vicious person, but he just did not want to hurt anyone around Naomi.

When he remembered that Naomi would be sad due to those incidents, he felt depressed.

On the other side, Samuel disguised himself as Jamie and began to investigate in all aspects. However, due to the fact that he needed to disguise himself, he couldn’t make a big fuss in many places, therefore his progress was quite slow.

Coupled with days of heavy rain, it was difficult for him to progress even an inch.

…

In the evening, at the construction site of an unfinished project, Naomi’s colleague spoke with the head contractor.

“Fortunately, we managed to make it in time after the materials arrived. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a place for us to take shelter from the rain this time!”

“Isn’t that right? Fortunately, it was all thanks to you. Otherwise, where could we find the materials?”

The colleague smiled and said, “It’s not my credit alone!”

She thought to herself, “I must treat Frida to a meal one day.”

The contraction head had no idea about Frida. He thought that Naomi’s colleague was just being humble. When he heard this, he smiled and nodded, “Yes, everyone deserves some credit!”

As he spoke, there was a loud click on the top of his head.

Both of them were shocked for a moment and said in unison, “What’s that sound?”

As the construction head spoke, he raised his head to take a look. The material on top of his head had already cracked, and the concrete was on the verge of collapsing.

His heart tightened, and he shouted out loud.

“It’s dangerous! Run!”

As he said so, he looked back at Naomi’s colleague. However, the concrete had already fallen. Although he tried his best to push the colleague away, with a bang, the two of them got buried together under the rubble.

…

Naomi was awakened by a loud bang of thunder. She sat on the bed, unable to sleep!

It was dark inside the detention center and nothing could be seen. The sound of the police’s footsteps who were on patrol could be heard.

She leaned back against the wall, her mind blank.

As she thought about that, more footsteps sounded from outside. She could hear the sound of people running towards her.

With a flash of lightning, she saw that the person was Clint.

Clint was someone who had watched her grow up, and he was a calm man who always worked under Amos.

No matter how big a problem he encountered, it was always hard for her to discern any emotions on his face.

However, his expression did not look too good at the moment.

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly went forward and pressed against the glass window in front of her.

“Uncle Clint, what’s wrong?”

Clint panted heavily and replied, “Something has happened! The project collapsed due to the heavy rain!”

“What?” Naomi’s footsteps swayed. Why were things happening one after another? After doubting her life for a brief moment, she immediately pulled back her thoughts.

“Is everyone alright?”

Clint’s face looked even more ghastly!

Naomi’s heart sank and she asked carefully, “Did something happen?”

Clint nodded in reply, “At that time, the construction head and a company staff who were responsible for the project were both there. Both of them got buried! We’ve already sent for a rescue team, but we haven’t found them yet!”

The person in charge of the project?

Wasn’t that her colleague?

Her colleague was the one who had always been incredibly kind to her since she arrived at the company and talked to her when no one else did.

Her colleague looked like a careless person but she was actually quite detailed when it came to work. She also mentioned that when Naomi got married in the future, she would become her bridesmaid!

“Let me out! I want to get out!”

Naomi felt like something was stuck in her throat. The situation at the moment was completely different from Benedict’s!

When she found out about what had happened to Benedict, it had already been too late.

The doctors had diagnosed his condition. Although she was sad, she knew that there was nothing she could have done.

However, at the moment, her colleague had yet to be found. If another person were to assist in the search, the hopes of finding her colleague would be higher.

As long as they could be rescued immediately, maybe they would survive!

“Uncle Clint, please find a way. Let me out for a moment! I want to see to the matter personally!”

Clint sighed and nodded.

“Okay, I’ll find someone to arrange for your release!”

Clint quickly went out to contact a lawyer to make a bail. Naomi stood behind the window and looked outside, awaiting for news.

Finally, Clint returned.

This time, a staff member came with him and opened the door.

“Although you have made a bail, you can only be released for one day. You must come back tomorrow to report yourself. If something goes wrong, the person who bailed you out must be responsible!”

“I will! I will definitely come back tomorrow!”

After she said that, she immediately ran out with Clint.

…

When Naomi arrived at the site, the professional rescue team was already busy at work.

The lights at the site were as bright as day, and everyone was incredibly anxious. Due to the fact that there were people buried underneath the rubble, they no longer dared to use an excavator, therefore they could only move the bricks one by one.

Not giving it much thought, Naomi immediately ran towards the site.

Clint hastily stopped her by saying, “Naomi, don’t go over there. There are still some areas that might collapse. It’s too dangerous!”

“There’s no time to think so much! Uncle Clint, thank you for letting me out. I have to save her!”

After she said this, she pushed Clint aside and ran over to pick up bricks with her bare hands.

Clint sighed and hurriedly took out a pair of gloves and a helmet and handed them to her.

“Even if you want to save people, you have to protect yourself!”

Naomi did not hesitate either. She quickly put the equipment on and joined the search and rescue team.

A sound of thunder could be heard in the sky, and heavy rain fell again.

Nelson stood up from the chair in the study and pulled the curtains close. The study was filled with smoke, and he was still in hesitation.

When he pulled the curtains and prepared to go back to his room to light up another cigarette, a news program suddenly appeared on his computer screen.

“Valiant East’s new project has collapsed due to the heavy rain. Will the business legend collapse because of this incident?”
