Monique glared at Amos as she replied, "Of course I'll have to go back and have a look! However, Amos, I won't just sit quietly and wait for my doom! You're in trouble yourself! Let's see how you deal with this!"
"You don't have to worry about me!"
After saying that, Amos left with his men.
Clint kept quiet until they got out of the house.
"Why didn't we arrest Monique directly? She made our company suffer a lot this time. If we arrest her, we can explain to the media..."
"Do we have any proof?" Amos asked.
"No, we don't," Clint immediately shut up.
"Nevertheless, we can still search for evidence. I'm sure we will be able to find some!"
"It'll be very difficult!" Amos said in a low voice. "Now, other people are basically her scapegoats! Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant."
"However, aren't we keeping her on guard by coming to see her?"
"Not necessarily!" Amos said in a low voice. "For a woman like Monique, it is better to make her feel fear face-to-face than to be wary about her next actions. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when we're still thinking of countermeasures, she will already have done something bad! For now, at least she will quiet down for a period of time! Then, we will have more time to look for evidence!"
"Mr. Granger, you're right!"
Clint nodded as Amos' words were true.
Although he had worked for Amos for many years, he was still slightly weaker than Amos when it came to strategizing.
That was the reason why he admired Amos so much! He was born with such excellent genes so it was difficult for Clint to reach his level.
On the other side, Monique had suddenly disappeared for the past few days.
It had been quite easy for Nelson to stay in the hospital and accompany Naomi.
Naomi's physical condition was decent, and she had recovered quite well. Only two days had passed, but she could already sit up and eat fruits!
Nelson helped her to peel the fruit and cut them into small pieces before feeding them to Naomi piece-by-piece.
"Does it taste good?" Nelson asked.
Naomi blinked her eyes and gradually frowned.
Nelson thought the fruits did not taste good, therefore he hurriedly stretched out his hand and placed it under her mouth. He said, "Spit it out, I'll throw it away for you."
Naomi really wanted to spit out the fruit, but she then quickly spotted Nelson's hand under her mouth, ready to receive the carcasses of the apple.
She quickly held his hand and said, "I'm lying to you, silly! How could the apples that you've bought taste bad?"
"Really?" Nelson asked. In reality, he was not worried that the apples tasted bad, but rather that Monique would do something bad behind his back, like poisoning Naomi!
"Of course! It's delicious!"
Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, his mobile phone rang. He put down the plate in his hand and said, "I'm going to make a call!"
Naomi picked the fork up herself and began to eat the fruits as she watched him leave.
The phone call was from Frida. When it got connected, she sounded incredibly secretive as she spoke, "Mr. Luther, please return to the company!"
"What happened? Did anything happen to the company?"
Frida refused to say anything, only insisting that Nelson should return to the company. He felt that something was amiss and immediately nodded his head.
"I'm going now!"
After he hung up on the call, he went back and told Naomi. Just in time, Naomi was going to rest as well.
He promised her that he would be back when she woke up.
Then, he got up and left.
When he reached the company, Frida was already waiting for him outside. Upon seeing him come in, she quickly came up to him.
"Mr. Luther, I've just gotten news that something has happened to our headquarters in Bookerfield City!"
"What happened?" Nelson was curious.
"Something big happened. The company has been closed down as someone reported us!"
It was indeed a big deal. In the past, Monique still had the upper hand in Bookerfield City, so it was reasonable to say that such a problem could not happen!
