"You..." Norman's face darkened. He was already of a certain age, and the Olsen family had always been stern when educating their children, therefore they were used to treating the younger generation like this.
However, no one had ever talked back to him like this. Even Culver, the most influential figure in public, still had to listen to his parents' arrangements when he was back home.
It was the first time that someone had said that to him. How could he stand it?
"Men, get Miss George out of here! She's not allowed to enter our house again."
"Fine, I'll leave!" Also enraged, she added, "I don't want to be here either!"
After that, she was about to leave.
She was dragged back by Culver.
He whispered to her in a low voice, "Don't forget about your duties."
Naomi was speechless.
She had indeed forgotten about the deal.
Generally speaking, there were no strange elders in the Granger family. She had lived in Clearwater Bay with her parents. From a young age, her parents were respectful of her lifestyle and took care of her mental state.
Therefore, she had gotten used to such treatment. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and stopped.
"Dad, Mom, if you want Naomi to go, then I'll leave with her!"
"How dare you..."
Norman still wanted to refute, but Marilyn stretched out her hand and grabbed him.
"That's enough. Culver's finally home. Can't you talk to him nicely?"
She could see that Culver was incredibly determined this time. It was unwise for them to fight head-on. It would be better to take things slow.
"Loraine, prepare lunch. Culver will have lunch first before leaving!"
She turned around.
She spoke to Norman, "Didn't you just say that you still have something important to do? Go and do your own work! I'll have a rest! Culver, take Miss George around the garden!"
When everyone left, Marilyn turned to look at the butler, Tommy.
"How is she?"
Tommy replied respectfully, "When they entered the house, I heard Miss George talking about our building and her mother. She seems to be quite knowledgeable."
Marilyn pursed her lips and said, "No matter how knowledgeable she is, I don't think she's that great of a person. How can she be compared to Judy?"
Puzzled, Tommy asked, "Actually, if Young Master Culver doesn't like Miss Judy, you can't force him to do so either!"
"Do you think I want to force him? It's just that if I don't do this, he will lose a good opportunity. Judy is virtuous and generous, yet Culver isn't willing to give her a chance. If he gives her a chance, I don't believe that he wouldn't like her! As for this woman, I've thought about it and I haven't heard Culver talk about her before. I feel that he is faking their relationship!"
Tommy was taken aback and asked, "You mean that Young Master Culver purposely found this woman to make you angry?"
"I don't think it's to make me angry. I'm afraid that he is using her as a shield for himself. If this ordinary woman really had a good relationship with Culver, how could she be so insolent towards Norman and myself? She should be desperate for
us to like her!"
Tommy suddenly understood and said, "What you said seems to be true."
"That's why I need you to do this later..."
Tommy slowly approached Marilyn and listened closely to her.
In the garden, Culver put his hands into his pockets and frowned as he looked at Naomi.
"Didn't we agree that you'll make my parents like you? Why did you fight with them just now?"
Naomi said with a frown, "You've seen what happened just now. I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Sure, you didn't do it on purpose, but it'll really be impossible for my parents like you now!"
Naomi immediately became nervous and asked, "What do you mean? Are you going to call off our agreement?"
Culver snorted.
Naomi said shamelessly, "That won't do! This is just the beginning! If you stop cooperating now, then I won't keep my promise!"
No matter what, she could not let Culver go back on his words. At the moment, she was in a difficult spot!
Culver frowned and said, "If you understand that you shouldn't make me go back on my word, shouldn't you change your behavior a little?"
