One Night Stand With That Beggar

Frida bitterly smiled, “Even so, you still have Valiant East and your parents. You’re still someone’s favored daughter, but what about me? I’m nobody. My parents died when I was young! My only hope was Bennett. I only have him left. If I lose him, I’ll have nothing!”

Naomi closed her eyes.

“I don’t need the things you said.”

Frida was taken aback. She asked, “What did you say?”

“Let’s make a bet!” Naomi seemed to have made up her mind.

“We’ll give each other a year’s time. I will leave Rosaville City and no longer be the daughter of the Granger family, while you will perform well in prison and stop attempting to suicide. Let’s see if we are the same after a year, shall we?”

Frida found it hard to believe. She asked, “Are you telling me the truth? Are you really willing to let go of everything?”

“Why not? I am partially responsible for turning Valiant East into what it is now. I’ve always thought that I was extremely excellent and could do everything well. However, after everything that has happened, I realized that it really was Master Clarke and my parents who protected me so well in the past that I trusted others so easily! Therefore, I will work hard on my own. So, let’s make a bet!”

After that, she reached out and gave Frida a high-five.

“I’ll keep in touch with you! One year later, we’ll meet again.”

Actually, it was not all for Frida’s sake. In reality, she truly wanted to train herself.

After the incident, although her parents did not say anything in front of her, she could obviously feel that they were being wary of her.

They were worried that if they said anything hurtful, she would be sad.

That way of communication was not only hard for her parents, but also hard for her.

Furthermore, after working with Emma on the new project a few days ago, it seemed that it was difficult to find a suitable client in Rosaville City!

It was better for her to let go of everything and go somewhere else!

She wanted to leave this sad place, and perhaps live a new life.

…

Naomi did what she said. After she went back, she immediately told Eudora about her intentions.

At that time, Eudora and Amos had just come back from outside and put Cola down. Upon hearing her words, Eudora immediately rubbed her hands nervously.

“Naomi, why do you suddenly have such an idea? Have you encountered something that is difficult to solve?”

Although Amos remained silent, his eyes and expression showed his concern.

Naomi’s heart felt warm, but at the same time, she felt pressured staying in the family.

“It’s not sudden. In fact, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time! I felt sorry for the company. I want to go out and do something on my own. I don’t want to rely on Valiant East, nor my identity as the daughter of the Granger family. I just want to prove myself.”

The reputation of the Granger family’s daughter was a huge responsibility. As the responsibility was too big, sometimes it became a curse that made her unable to breathe.

Eudora glanced at Amos and looked back at Naomi again to ask, “Can’t you reconsider your decision?”

Naomi shook her head and said, “I’ve made up my mind! Mom, stop persuading me, okay? This is just like when I was young and I insisted on learning self defense from Master Clarke. I’ll protect myself. Mom, don’t worry about me.”

Eudora sighed. Most of the time, Naomi had a similar personality to hers.

Naomi was so stubborn that Eudora could not do anything about it.

“Have you made up your mind on where you want to go?” Amos suddenly spoke. He was wordlessly agreeing to her decision.

“Greene City.”

Naomi told him.

“No way!” Eudora immediately retorted. “You can’t go to Greene City. The Granger family has no businesses there at all. If you go there, who will take care of you?”

In fact, Valiant East had businesses in Greene City before. However, due to Eudora, Amos had voluntarily withdrawn from the Greene City’s market.

They had not established anything else there for many years.

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me!” Naomi said bluntly. “I am going to Greene City precisely because there isn’t any of our family business there. I want to rely on my own strength!”

“Naomi…”

“Mom, Dad, I have made up my mind! If you don’t agree, I will go by myself. If you agree, I will take some of the projects that no one in the company is willing to take…”

Exasperated, Eudora could only agree and she said, “It would be better to start some new projects on your own than to take the projects with you.”

The main point was that half of the projects had already been completed, and they were not suitable for Greene City’s market.

If she wanted to start from the beginning, she should take on something suitable for Greene City’s market.

“I’m still willing to take on the projects that you have given to me. Since I’m the one who messed them up, I want to save them!”

Eudora wanted to say something, but Amos reached out and pinched her fingers.

He turned to Naomi and asked, “When will you leave?”

“If it’s alright with the both of you, I’ll leave in a few days!”

“Alright, then you should pack up your things.”

After that, Naomi went upstairs to take a rest. Amos watched her figure disappear at the stairs, and then turned to speak to Eudora.

“I know you’re worried, but…”

“But what? Do you think I’m senile already? Although I can’t bear for her to leave, Naomi is really unhappy at home now. She has too many memories in Rosaville City. It’s good for her to go. Anyways, you don’t have to persuade me. I’ll go up to check on her and see if she needs my help or not.”

Amos could not help but smile. Then, he said, “I knew it! My wife is the most understanding person in the world! I’ll go with you!”

…

A few days later, after Frida was discharged from the hospital, Naomi went to see her once again.

Although Frida had recovered, she was not in a good mood. Naomi showed her the flight ticket that she had prepared.

“I’ll be leaving in a few days. Remember our agreement.”

Frida looked at Naomi with some admiration. She said to her, “I really didn’t think that you would do this. Didn’t I almost hurt you back then? Why would you be willing to…”

“It’s not entirely for you. We’re two people with the same fate! I hope you can keep your promise!”

“I-I will!” Frida said. “I’ll be transferred to the women’s prison after I recover! I’ll remember what you said! One year later, we’ll meet each other again.”

“Okay!” Naomi nodded.

“Did you go and visit Mr. Luther…?” Friday asked suddenly.

Naomi was stunned. That name had long been engraved in her mind. However, it seemed like a long time ago that someone had mentioned that person in front of her!

“No!” She shook her head, “There’s no reason for me to visit him!”

“Actually…” Frida hesitated before saying, “You can’t believe everything that Monique has told you! At first, Mr. Luther might have approached you for a reason. However, later onwards, he genuinely fell in love with you, and because of you, he quarreled with Monique many times.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Before Frida could say anything else, Naomi interrupted her.

“Then, what about Valiant East? The accident that Emma faced? Wasn’t he the one who did all that?”

Pursing her lips together, Frida said, “That incident was…”

“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear anything anymore!” After Naomi finished speaking, she stood up.
