One Night Stand With That Beggar

Naomi replied scornfully, “Do you think you know me well? Actually, you know very little about me!”

“Fine, I don’t know you at all. Nevertheless, in regards to the Olsen Group’s issue, the best solution will be you and Culver making things clear with each other. In fact, the discord has always been between the two of you. Why can’t you sit down with him and address the issue head-on?”

Naomi looked at Nelson suspiciously and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Go and look for Culver! You love him, and he loves you! You don’t have to care about what others think. Don’t lose the most precious person in your life like I did…”

After that, he paused.

Naomi was confused by his attitude.

At first, she had thought that he came back for revenge.

However, he didn’t mean to take revenge at all. Instead, he was caring for her the entire time.

Then, she had thought that he came back out of repentance. However, he surprised her again by trying to be a matchmaker for Culver and her.

Naomi pursed her lips, “Is there something you’re hiding from me?”

Upon hearing that, he was startled for a moment before turning his head away.

“I have nothing to hide from you. You asked me to be a consultant, didn’t you? Then, as a consultant, I will do my best to solve your problems.”

Naomi looked out of the window again.

Nelson continued, “Have you heard about Bethany’s story? She was the old lady in the Granger Mansion during our childhood.”

Naomi looked back on her memories. There was indeed such a person in her memories who looked like a benign old lady. It was just that Naomi hadn’t had much contact with her. Something seemed to happen back then, but as a child, Naomi hadn’t known much about it.

Her parents weren’t the kind of people who instilled bad thoughts into their children, therefore she had no clue about the situation.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“She thought that Old Master Granger loved your grandmother. Moreover, he didn’t even leave her anything when he died. Thus, she nursed a grudge and she had done a lot of harmful things to the Granger family. Fortunately, Amos managed to keep your family and Valiant East safe and sound.”

“It was said that she was filled with remorse before she died. She could have led a better life, couldn’t she? However, everything turned out differently due to her hatred.”

Naomi furrowed her brows, and she felt that her fingers were being touched.

She lowered her head and saw Nelson holding her hand.

His hand was cold, but he was smiling at her. The sunlight just happened to shine through the window, showing his pale and wan face.

Inexplicably, Naomi had a strange feeling in her heart.

“Are you alright?”

He replied, “Of course!”

Then, Naomi pulled her fingers away.

Nelson was right. Indeed, she no longer wanted to be Culver’s enemy. Hence, she considered making peace with Culver.

As she was thinking about it, Emma came to them

She was exclaiming frantically, “Naomi, bad news! Plenty of people are gathering in front of our company.”

Naomi stretched her head out and looked over. There were a lot of reporters and even their landlord and employees were downstairs.

“What’s going on?”

Emma took a deep breath, “It’s a move against us by the Olsen Group!”

Naomi curled her lip. She despised herself for being too naive.

She thought to herself, “That’s right. Culver hates me so much. Why would he want to make peace with me? He and I are not even a couple.”

She told Emma and Nelson, “You guys stay here. I’ll go down and take a look!”

“I’ll go with you!”

Nelson shouted.

However, Naomi had already gone downstairs by herself.

…

It was really crowded downstairs. As soon as Naomi walked over, reporters swarmed towards her.

“Miss George, rumor has it that your company is the victim, but now it’s being tyrannized. What do you think? Will you fight resolutely against the Olsen Group till the end?”

Naomi gave a brief reply.

“Sorry, we won’t accept interviews for the time being. I just want to solve the company’s problems.”

Needless to say, the reporters would not let her go. Hearing her words, more people came and surrounded her.

Naomi was anxious. She snatched the microphone from one of the reporters and turned to speak to the crowd.

“As you can see, my company is indeed going through some problems right now.  However, I can promise you that the landlord and all the employees will get their rent payment and salaries respectively as usual.”

In daily life, Naomi treated everyone quite well.

Thus, after she said so, most of the people calmed down, believing her words.

Suddenly, someone yelled, “Don’t be fooled by her! Her small company is in major crisis now. It’s going to shut down soon. How will she manage to pay us? What she just said is just a stalling tactic!”

After that, the rest of the people were incited to raise a commotion.

“You have to arrange for the payment immediately!”

Naomi was in a dilemma, “I’ll arrange things for everyone, but there’s no one working in the company currently. I need some time to handle the employee’s benefits. It should be done by the day after tomorrow. Can everyone come to the company to get the money the day after tomorrow?”

“You’re lying! Maybe you’ll run away by then!”

Someone took the lead to make a dart into the company building.

“Since you refuse to pay us now, we’ll go in and get it ourselves!”

Since there was a man taking the lead, the rest of the people, who were originally hesitating, could not hold back any longer. They were the bread makers of their families, so they were counting on receiving their salaries. If they failed to obtain the money, they would have trouble repaying their mortgages and car loans.

So, they started to squeeze forward.

Naomi tried to stop the man who took the lead, but it turned out that man was trained in fighting too. Naomi suspected that he had come to purposely stir trouble.

Just when she was about to catch him, the employees of the company surrounded her. Naomi didn’t want to hurt the innocent, so she dared not to act rashly.

Moreover, the reporters were busy recording the scene.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Naomi was surrounded and bombarded with questions.

No one was willing to listen to Naomi’s explanation no matter how hard she tried.

When Emma and Nelson came out, there was bedlam outside.

Nelson hurriedly asked Emma to call the police, and then he rushed into the crowd himself.

“Naomi!”

The man who had just gone into the building came out and began to spread rumors again.

“You’ve all been deceived. I went in and checked. There’s nothing inside. Don’t let them get away!”

With his words, a complete mayhem broke out.

Even though Naomi was good at self-defense, she couldn’t fight so many people. Soon, she got beaten up by a few of them. Just when she barely dodged a punch, she heard Nelson’s voice.

“Watch out!”

She was baffled. Before she could react to that, a man had launched an assault on her.

After that, she felt that someone behind her helped her block part of the attack. With that being said, she failed to escape unscathed. As a result, she instantly passed out.
