Culver's sudden arrival came as a surprise to both Naomi and Nelson.
When she came to her senses, Naomi casually asked, "Why are you here?"
Naomi casually asked so when she came to her senses. However, her words disconcerted Culver.
He had fallen head over heels for her. He became inattentive during his work lately because he kept thinking about her. Naomi, on the other hand, had cooperated with Marilyn to plot against him. After that, she acted as if nothing had happened between them.
On top of that, she provoked him several times, but such an action of hers was the worst. To him, it was outrageous that she had taken no notice of his love towards her, even going as far as to forgive another man who had hurt her before.
"Why can't I come? What is he to you? Why do you have to speak on his behalf?"
Naomi shut her mouth.
Nelson couldn't stand it anymore, "You must be Mr. Olsen, right? This is my ward, and Naomi is my friend. Please treat her with more respect.”
"You should shut up too!"
Culver had been blowing a fuse since he was notified that Naomi had come to visit Nelson.
Nelson didn't back down as well as he retorted, "Mr. Olsen, don't you think you're a little too overbearing?"
"So what if I'm overbearing? We're in Greene City. In here, I have the final say in everything!"
"Do you really have to argue like this?"
After that, the two of them glowered at each other before turning their heads to look at Naomi simultaneously.
Nelson said, "Naomi, please leave for a while."
"Get out!" said Culver.
The two of them spoke in unison.
Naomi didn't want to stay there, either. Upon hearing their words, she turned around and went straight out.
It wasn't until she left that Nelson took the initiative to ask Culver.
"You like Naomi, don't you?"
Culver looked at him coldly as he said, "Isn't it obvious?"
Nelson gave a smirk, "Yes, it's crystal clear. After all, she's really lovable."
Culver frowned.
"Well, let's compete fairly!" suggested Nelson.
Culver rebuked him scornfully, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think that your wrongdoings in the past can be forgotten? Do you have any idea how much suffering you've caused her? With your sins, everyone in the world has the right to pursue her except you!"
Nelson lowered his head, "That's precisely why I have to make up for it."
"Oh, come on, quit acting! If I were you, I would just look at her from afar without disturbing her. In addition, I am here to inform you that you'll be discharged in three days. I've confirmed with the doctor. When the time comes, I hope you can leave Greene City by yourself. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer whenever I see you!"
Nelson looked at Culver collectedly and said, "Have it your way. I won't leave!"
"Very well then, we shall see!"
After saying that, Culver slammed the door behind him as he left.
Nelson took a deep breath, leaned back on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.
Culver came out of the hospital, only to find that
Naomi had already left.
As a result, he became more livid.
He wondered if Naomi was avoiding him.
Concurrently, Aaron made a call to inform him of his itinerary in the afternoon. While he was reporting his schedule, Culver interrupted him directly.
"Didn't I ask you to investigate who hurt Naomi two days ago? What did you find?"
Noticing his anger, Aaron did not dare to talk about other things. He quickly told him the result of the investigation.
"Evan Louis was behind the attack. You'd beaten him up at the hotel last time because of his quarrel with Miss George. He has been holding a grudge since then, hence he's taking his revenge on her."
"Evan Louis?!"
Culver gnashed his teeth in rage, "Assemble the men!"
Aaron was shocked as he asked, "Sir, what about your schedule?"
Culver did not answer as he had already hung up on the phone.
Aaron was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. He thought to himself, "Oh no!
Something bad is going to happen! How many years has it been since Mr. Olsen had gotten so crazy?"
He pondered, "I must assemble the men fast, so that Mr. Olsen can gain the upper hand."
Meanwhile, Evan was blowing his top in his house.
