Culverâs sudden arrival came as a surprise to both Naomi and Nelson.
When she came to her senses, Naomi casually asked, âWhy are you here?â
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.
âWhy canât I come? What is he to you? Why do you have to speak on his behalf?â
Naomi shut her mouth.
Nelson couldnât stand it anymore, âYou must be Mr. Olsen, right? This is my ward, and Naomi is my friend. Please treat her with more respect.â
âYou should shut up too!â
Culver had been blowing a fuse since he was notified that Naomi had come to visit Nelson.
Nelson didnât back down as well as he retorted, âMr. Olsen, donât you think youâre a little too overbearing?â
âSo what if Iâm overbearing? Weâre in Greene City. In here, I have the final say in everything!â
âDo you really have to argue like this?â
After that, the two of them glowered at each other before turning their heads to look at Naomi simultaneously.
Nelson said, âNaomi, please leave for a while.â
âGet out!â said Culver.
The two of them spoke in unison.
Naomi didnât want to stay there, either. Upon hearing their words, she turned around and went straight out.
It wasnât until she left that Nelson took the initiative to ask Culver.
âYou like Naomi, donât you?â
Culver looked at him coldly as he said, âIsnât it obvious?â
Nelson gave a smirk, âYes, itâs crystal clear. After all, sheâs really lovable.â
Culver frowned.
âWell, letâs compete fairly!â suggested Nelson.
Culver rebuked him scornfully, âWho 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 youâve caused her? With your sins, everyone in the world has the right to pursue her except you!â
Nelson lowered his head, âThatâs precisely why I have to make up for it.â
âOh, 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 youâll be discharged in three days. Iâve confirmed with the doctor. When the time comes, I hope you can leave Greene City by yourself. Otherwise, Iâll make you suffer whenever I see you!â
Nelson looked at Culver collectedly and said, âHave it your way. I wonât leave!â
âVery well then, we shall see!â
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.
â¦
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.
âDidnât I ask you to investigate who hurt Naomi two days ago? What did you find?â
Noticing his anger, Aaron did not dare to talk about other things. He quickly told him the result of the investigation.
âEvan Louis was behind the attack. Youâd beaten him up at the hotel last time because of his quarrel with Miss George. He has been holding a grudge since then, hence heâs taking his revenge on her.â
âEvan Louis?!â
Culver gnashed his teeth in rage, âAssemble the men!â
Aaron was shocked as he asked, âSir, what about your schedule?â
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, âOh no! Something bad is going to happen! How many years has it been since Mr. Olsen had gotten so crazy?â
He pondered, âI must assemble the men fast, so that Mr. Olsen can gain the upper hand.â
â¦
Meanwhile, Evan was blowing his top in his house.
The smashing of glass could be heard.
A cup made of glass shattered into pieces.
He reproached his subordinate for failing to complete their task, âIdiots, the two of you couldnât even handle a woman? Youâre both useless!â
The two subordinates were scared witless, whereas Queenie sat at Evanâs side, rolling her eyes. She agreed to Evanâs statement.
It seemed that she had held too high expectations towards Evan. Perhaps, she should think of her own methods.
Just as she was thinking about that, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.
They heard the butlerâs voice, âIâm sorry, Mr. Olsen. You canât go in. Wait, Mr. Olsen-â
Queenie was shocked for a moment while Evan had already gave the two subordinates looks. Then, they immediately left and hid somewhere.
Queenie also wanted to hide, but it was too late. Culver had already entered the room.
Queenie had no choice but to walk over while beaming at him.
âCulver, itâs a pleasure to see you here!â
Evan stood up with a smile too.
âOh, youâre here! Come and have a seat!â
Culver ignored him and looked around.
âHand them over to me.â
Evanâs heart skipped a beat, but he still played dumb.
âWho are you referring to?â
âYouâre not going to hand them over, are you? Well then, guys, find them!â
Evanâs expression suddenly changed, and he put on a straight face.
âCulver, donât go too far! No matter what, Iâm still your senior. I havenât even settled the score with you for beating me up the last time. How dare you come to my house and behave rudely?!â
Culver was incandescent with rage at the moment. He had come to Evanâs house to vent his anger. Thus, he didnât care whether Evan was his senior.
âIâll only regard principled people as elders. As for you⦠Humph! Guys, do your job!â
With a single order, those men he had brought with him instantly stampeded through Evanâs house, searching every corner. In less than three minutes, they had found two suspicious men in the courtyard. Subsequently, they dragged the two of them into the living room.
âMr. Louis, we-â
The two men still wanted to argue, but before they could say anything, they were kicked to the gate by Culver.
Consequently, both of them spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Aaron was petrified by his savage act, and even Evan was so afraid that he no longer to play dumb any longer.
Culver instructed, âBring them back!â
Aaron hurriedly dragged the two men back. Then, Culver kicked them again while Aaron had to drag them back again.
After a few rounds, Culverâs anger had been slightly dissipated. He sat down on the sofa behind him and gave Aaron an order.
âTake them back!â
Due to the fact that the two men had been kicked so many times, they asked Evan for help desperately, âMr. Louis, help us!â
Evan wanted to say something, but Culver had already added another sentence, which sent a chill down Evanâs spine.
âDo you think Iâve come to your house for no reason?â
Only then did Evan come to his senses.
He realized that Culver had never done anything without preparation. It was obvious that he had investigated every detail of the incident thoroughly.
If he interceded for the two men, he might end up getting the short end of the stick.
At the sight of that, the two men knew that they couldnât count on Evan, so they turned to plead with Culver.
âMr. Olsen, we know that itâs our fault. Evan instructed us to do it. We wonât dare do it again, so please spare us!â
âTell me everything!â
They were so fearful of Culver that they poured the whole story out immediately.
After that, Culver looked at Aaron.
âHave you recorded it all?â
Everyone was startled. How could they have forgotten that recording devices existed?
Aaron nodded, âYes, I have. Iâll send these two men to the police station right away!â
Then, Culver turned to look at Evan and said, âIâve done tackling them, so itâs your turn now, Uncle Louis. I have a bone to pick with you!â
