Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038 Counterattack

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.

“You’re Monique Chilton, the famous Red Phoenix of Bookerfield City, am I right?”

“What Red Phoenix? I don’t understand what you’re talking about!” Monique played dumb.

In her heart, she was actually scolding her subordinates thousands of times as they allowed her identity to be figured out so quickly!

The only thing that gave her peace of mind was that, fortunately, the Inchee Company group would not be affected if they wanted to take revenge on her.

Therefore, the company was temporarily safe.

Amos said, “Miss Chilton, do you want me to tell you all your glorious deeds before you’re willing to admit it?”

As he spoke, there was a smile on his face as he walked to the sofa and sat down.

He was clearly a guest, but he gave people a feeling that he was the leader.

Monique took a deep breath. She knew that it was not a wise move to pretend to be dumb in front of a smart person. Therefore, she decided to drop her act.

“Since you’ve said so, Mr. Granger, I will not play dumb with you,” Monique smiled faintly with an amorous expression.

She was an incredibly beautiful woman, and at the moment, she deliberately laced her tone with a little bit of amorous appeal, a little flirtatious.

Over the years, Monique had developed her own skills to talk to men. She knew quite well that men were all the same!

No one could escape her enchanting appearance.

However, in the next second, a pillow flew over and hit Monique directly.

“Respect yourself!”

Monique’s face darkened as the corner of her mouth twitched twice.

She said, “People say that Mr. Granger dotes on his wife a lot and is extremely loyal. It seems that they’re right! I really admire you!”

“Enough with the nonsense! I’m sure you know the reason why I’ve come to you. How did Valiant East offend you and why are you taking action against us?”

Monique pursed her lips and said, “This is just a legitimate competition between businesses. Mr. Granger, can’t you afford a little competition?”

Amos raised his eyebrows and replied, “You’ve said that it’s just legitimate competition between businesses, but Miss Chilton, it seems that what you’ve done is the opposite of that! Otherwise, why would you stab us in the back?”

Monique chuckled and said, “All is fair in love and war! Mr. Granger, don’t you understand this philosophy?”

“I do!” Amos suddenly raised his lips and smiled. “So, this is how you want to play things?”

As he said that, he pointed to the phone.

For a moment, Monique failed to understand what Amos meant. Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. She took it out and answered it suspiciously.

On the other end came Jamie’s anxious voice. He said with panic in his voice, “Miss Monique, bad news! Something has happened to our project in Bookerfield City!”

“What?” Monique subconsciously looked at Amos because she refused to believe that Amos could do anything to her project in such a short period of time.

However, Amos gave her a nod to affirm that thought.

Jamie continued, “I just got news that the police in Bookerfield City have sealed off our finance department. They said that they’ve obtained reliable evidence, and that our finance department has gotten funds from an unverifiable source. What should we do now, Miss Monique?!”

Jamie added, “What if the police really have found something?”

“Shut up!” Monique interrupted him. In this line of work, business would definitely not be clean and legitimate all the time.

However, she had always managed those matters well, and there had never been any problems.

However, she did not expect Amos to create a mess in such a short time!

Monique closed her eyes and said, “Book a flight ticket first! I’ll see you at the airport in an hour!”

After she hung up on the call, she looked at Amos.

“I don’t believe that you have any evidence against me! Don’t count on me to help you to resolve this incident anymore!”

Amos shrugged before he replied, “Didn’t you just ask someone to book a flight ticket for you? If you don’t believe me, Miss Chilton, why don’t you go back and take a look?”
