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.
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.
