There was no way to ignore the passionate gazes of the two young people in the room. After Eudora spoke for a while, she took the initiative to find an excuse to go out.
After Eudora left, Nelson stepped forward and grabbed Naomi's hand.
"Naomi, how are you? Are you in pain?"
Naomi had initially felt pain all over her body. The moment she was asked that question, the pain seemed to have disappeared in an instant like magic!
"No, I don't feel pain anywhere."
"Don't lie to me! I saw you. You have a lot of wounds on you. I'm so sorry."
Nelson felt incredibly guilty, but in Naomi's eyes, she thought that he was acting this way because he did not protect her well. Therefore, she hurriedly shook her head.
"This has nothing to do with you! Don't do this to yourself."
Nelson's heart ached. When he saw her smile, he only felt worse.
She trusted him so much, but he was doing all
sorts of bad antics behind her back.
"Naomi, believe me. I won't let this happen again!"
Naomi looked at him with a smile and said, "Silly, I've already said that this has nothing to do with you!"
"I'm serious. I will protect you in the future, just like..."
In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly remembered the way Amos had defended Eudora in front of the reporters.
Subconsciously, he wanted to say that he would protect her the same way that Amos had protected Eudora. However, in the end, he did not say it out loud. In his heart, he still had some resentment towards Amos!
"Alright, I believe you!"
On the other side, Clint was reporting the situation to Amos.
"Our people found a woman named Monique Chilton. She might have something to do with this time's incident."
"Monique Chilton?"
Amos frowned and asked, "Who on earth is she?"
Clint pursed his lips and said, "She might be an old acquaintance of ours! Do you still remember Thomas Shelby?" "Him again?" Amos was suspicious!
"No, it's just that this Monique woman used to have a short fling with Thomas. Strictly speaking, this matter doesn't have anything to do with Thomas. Monique has had some sort of relationship with many men in this field. However, all those relationships were extremely short. It was also because of these men that she gradually expanded her power and achieved her current status. Her current influence in Bookerfield City isn't small either! She's quite a powerful woman!"
Amos was confused so he asked, "Then, why is she targeting us?"
That was a confusing point!
"As for that, I haven't investigated yet. Perhaps it's because she wants to target the market here, therefore she thinks that Valiant East is her biggest obstacle!"
At least they currently knew who was targeting them.
Amos touched his chin and said, "I don't care what she wants to do. Since we know that this matter is related to her, we need to let her know that we aren't that easy to deal with either. Ask Charlie to follow me to meet her tonight!"
Clint nodded and said, "Okay!"
The night was getting late.
As soon as Monique came out of the shower, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She thought that Jamie had come, therefore she went to open the door.
The next second, a group of people rushed in from outside and surrounded her.
Monique was stunned for a moment and realized that the person who had entered was hostile. She became alert immediately, but her face only showed fear.
"Who are you? How dare you break into private property?"
Amos came in last and looked at her with a smile.
