Chapter 1185
"Yes, I'm angry!"
Rachel opened the door. Truth be told, she wanted to endure things stoically. However, she changed her mind when she thought of Bianca's sufferings. Bianca had endured everything for a lifetime, and what she got in the end was nothing but misery.
Rachel did not want to end up like Bianca.
"I'm not angry because you came back late. I'm angry because you promised me that you wanted to make things work between us but yet you can't draw a clear line between you and Sierra. Do you have any respect for me? If you want to be with her and renege on your promise to me, then just tell me frankly! | won't waste your time any longer. I'll leave here at once and we can file for a divorce when we go back!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She couldn't help pouring out her indignation. After finishing her words, Rachel felt much more relaxed.
While gasping for air, she looked at Eddison, who was standing motionless in front of her. It seemed that he was unmoved by her outburst.
From the looks of it, she might be right.
Maybe he really was waiting for her to bring up the idea of divorce the entire time. Rachel gave a wry smile and turned around.
Perhaps, it was time for her to pack up and leave.
Unexpectedly, her arm was grabbed by him. She turned back and met an impish grin on his face. “Are you jealous?"
Rachel was stunned as she retorted, "No, I'm not jealous of Sierra!"
"Did | say it was Sierra?"
Rachel was at a loss for words.
She said soberly, "I'm being serious. Don't make jokes with me!"
"I'm being serious too. I've always remembered every promise I've made to you."
Rachel said ironically, "| thought that all the men in the Granger family were as reliable as President Granger, but it turns out that there's a liar like you in the Granger family."
Eddison frowned and retorted, "I'm telling the truth." "Your words don't sound sincere to me."
He quickly explained, "I lent Sierra a hand because she has helped me before, hence | have to return the favor to her. Furthermore, as a friend, | ought to help her even if she hasn't helped me."
"I'm afraid she doesn't think so." He pursed his lips and asked, "What did she say to you?" Rachel didn't want to be a backstabbing woman, so she insisted, "Nothing!"
“Regardless of what she says, it doesn't matter now. I've already arranged for her family to be there with her. There is no need for me to be there anymore. | will prove to you that all the men in the Granger family are dependable.”
Then, he pushed her into the room and closed the door carefully before Rachel could say a word. "Good night!"
Rachel was confused. Was she to laugh or cry at the current situation?
Meanwhile, Loraine had been taking good care of Naomi in Greene City.
For a few days in a row, she had been preparing fish stew for Naomi.
Naomi couldn't help but doubt her motives.
“Loraine, I'm much better now. You don't have to send me fish stew every day." "It's okay. I'm not busy anyway." Naomi was puzzled as she asked, "Did Mr. Olsen hire more servants for himself?"
As far as she recalled, Loraine was the only one working in Culver's apartment due to his strange personality. To be precise, Loraine had been sent by Marilyn to watch over Culver.
Loraine replied hesitatingly, "Uh, | think so."
"Thank you, Loraine, but | really don't need any more stew. I'll see you off downstairs as | want to head out and buy something
too. Loraine hurriedly said, "Then, I'll keep you company!" "Okay!" That way, she could buy something for Loraine as a way to express her gratitude.
The two of them went downstairs together and they chatted along the way. Loraine found that the more she spent time with Naomi, the more she understood why Culver liked her so much.
Naomi was really different from ordinary girls. Girls from noble families would normally act graceful, generous and well-mannered.
They were all as refined as a doll. One would not be able to find any flaws on them, which was the reason why they felt somewhat inauthentic.
On the other hand, Naomi was a down-to-earth girl with no pretensions. She was just like the girl next door, whom you would not notice at the first glance. However, people would always feel comfortable being with her due to her easy-going manner.
To Loraine, if Marilyn could accept Naomi as a daughter- in- law, Culver would definitely live a blissful life in the future. However, it was a pity that there was bad blood between Marilyn and Naomi.
Thinking of that, Loraine couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, Naomi, who was standing in front of her, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Loraine, you can go into the elevator first!"
Loraine was taken aback, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"
Naomi stayed silent. She pushed Loraine into the elevator as soon as the doors opened. "Just go first!"
The elevator door closed before Loraine could react. At the last moment, she saw through the gap that there were two men, who were wearing masks and caps, approaching them. They were both holding a stick in their hands, walking towards Naomi.
Seeing such a scene, Loraine was scared out of her wits.
With trembling hands, she was going to take out her phone to call the police, only to find that there was no signal.
It took a few seconds for her to come back to her senses. She quickly pressed the button of the nearest floor to get off.
Upstairs. Naomi had sensed that the two men held bad intentions. Thus, she immediately pushed Loraine into the elevator.
Just as the elevator door closed, they immediately rushed over and started attacking Naomi with the sticks in their hands. Apparently, the two men were after her. As soon as they got near to her, they attacked her mercilessly with the sticks, which were as thick as an arm.
Theoretically, the burns to her body wouldn't affect her movements and joints. Nevertheless, she was in great pain whenever she tried to retaliate.
Therefore, she found it hard to hold out against their attacks. Moreover, she had two opponents. It was inevitable for them to gain the upper hand shortly afterwards.
She had dodged an attack, but she couldn't dodge another neottid | n was abouttostike er back badly. She thought it might be the end of her life. Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.
To her surprise, at the critical moment, someone shouted, "Watch out!"
After that, she heard a groan. She did not feel any pain as someone had blocked the hit for her.
Then, she heard his following words.
"I've already called the police, and the security guards downstairs are coming up too. You're doomed!"
The two men did not dare to stay any longer. They turned around and made a dart for the stairs right away. Only then did Naomi turn back and look at Nelson, who was lying on the ground while grimacing in pain. “How did you—"
Nelson asked, "Are you okay?"
Naomi said, "Can you move? I'll take you to the hospital."
He had already passed out before he could reply.
Concurrently, after Loraine got off to the nearest floor on the way down, she instantly called the police and Culver. Culver happened to be nearby. He rushed over as fast as he could after receiving the call from her.
Then, they went upstairs together. The first thing they saw ESAT Stal trying to arly NetsartWho had fainted hey could not tell what was Naomi feeling from the look in her eyes. Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.
Culver frowned before he looked at Naomi. After confirming that she was fine, he turned around. "It seems that my presence is unwelcome."
Naomi called out to him, "Culver!"
"Did you drive here? Can you help me send him to the hospital?”
Culver was enraged at her words. It was the first time that she h om spoken to him aftenstie Fad said she Waa Sit off all ties with him. To his grievance, Nelson was the reason for that. Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.
