Chapter 948: Chapter 948 Another Identity

Instead of returning home, Amos and Eudora rushed straight to the company.

After Nelson had explained the situation, the crowd at the entrance had dispersed. Thus, Naomi could go back to work.

Although Cynthia still disliked Naomi a lot, she couldn’t do anything about it since Naomi had not made a mistake.

…

In the silent office, Naomi sat there and worked quietly. The colleagues around her would look at her from time to time and whisper among themselves.

“Being the president’s daughter is so enviable. You can even get a boyfriend with that kind of status! That guy, Nelson, seems like a young and talented man!”

“He’s nothing compared to the affluent Granger family! In my opinion, that’s just puppy love.”

“You’re right, but having a fling with someone like him is already a hundred times better than us who go on multiple dates!”

“We’re nowhere near as wealthy as they are…”

Naomi heard them, but she was reluctant to say anything.

Her fingers paused for a moment, and then she continued to work until a tall figure came through the door.

All of a sudden, everyone held their breath and watched as Amos walked in from the door.

“Chairman Granger is here!”

Ever since Amos had merged the companies, he had seldom showed up. The employees would only see him via the photos of the annual party.

To them, he was still as debonair as he used to be although more than ten years had passed.

He walked all the way to Naomi’s desk, looking incredibly concerned.

Nonetheless, he managed to restrain his emotions.

He ordered, “My office, now!”

Naomi’s fingers paused briefly again, then she got up and followed him. She replied, “Yes, Chairman Granger!”

When they left, everyone began to sigh again.

“I don’t envy her for having a boyfriend like Nelson anymore. If I were to have a father like Chairman Granger, I would feel like I was on top of the world!”

“That depends on how many good deeds you have done in your past lives. Don’t you know that Chairman Granger is famous for spoiling his daughter? Naomi must have saved the world in her past life to have such a father bestowed upon her!”

“I feel a twinge of envy and jealousy for her!”

Hearing the voices, Cynthia walked out and knocked on the door.

“You all have nothing to do, don’t you? Then, I’m going to have a meeting now. Show me your performance throughout this month!”

Everyone immediately fell silent and bowed their heads.

Looking at Naomi’s back as she walked away, Cynthia frowned.

…

In the chairman’s office, as soon as Naomi pushed the door open and went in, she heard Amos’s angry voice.

He shouted, “What’s going on? Didn’t you break up with him? Why are the rumors saying you two are in a relationship?”

Naomi pursed her lips and said, “Dad, it’s not what you think!”

“Then, what’s happening? Nelson is the one who did it, isn’t he? He’s using you!”

Amos was really flying into a rage. Upon seeing the news, he lost his mind at the thought of his precious daughter being deceived.

Therefore, he could not remain unruffled when he spoke.

“Dad…” Naomi couldn’t find a chance to speak at all.

“Shut up, all of you!” It was not until Eudora opened her mouth that everyone calmed down.

The office became quiet in an instant. Clint poked his head around the door and saw the situation inside. He couldn’t help but think, “Mrs. Granger is so awesome!”

Amos pursed his lips and returned to his seat.

He ordered, “Explain yourself!”

Only then did Naomi find the opportunity to speak and tell her parents what had gone down that day.

However, she concealed the fact that she had laid in the same bed with Nelson. She was worried that her father might immediately resort to hurting Nelson once he knew about it.

“That’s what happened. I was just sick and he saved me.”

Amos’s face darkened and said, “Why did you go to a hotel instead of a hospital when you were sick?”

Naomi was lost for words.

“Dad, the hotel was closer at that time! He also called for a doctor to examine me!”

Amos sneered as he said, “That’s all an act! I can tell that he has planned for this for a long time!”

Naomi asked defiantly, “Dad, why aren’t you willing to believe that he’s a good person?”

“Why should I believe in him? You asked me not to investigate him before, so I did as you asked. However, he hid his identity and now rumors are going around the whole city about you two. Naomi, you’ve forgotten what I told you, that we have to keep a cool head at all times.”

Naomi pursed her lips and remained quiet.

Amos continued, “What do you think of him?”

This time, Naomi looked at Amos seriously.

“Dad, I don’t have any thoughts about him. He saved me, thus I’m very grateful to him. That’s all there is to this.”

Amos breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, then you don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen next. I’ll take care of everything. You can go back to work as usual!”

Naomi wanted to ask how her father would handle the matter.

However, she held back at the last minute.

Indeed, Nelson had saved her in the past. However, she was not stupid either. Although she had tried to defend him in front of her father, it was a fact that he had lied to her.

She knew how to judge other peoples’ characters.

After Naomi went out, Amos called out for Clint.

“Go and look into Nelson’s identity and background!”

Clint instantly turned to look at Eudora and said, “Are you sure? You’ve promised Miss Naomi not to investigate…”

Eudora nodded and said, “Go ahead!”

Clint finally accepted the order and left.

Amos showed no resistance to Eudora calling the shots. He had gotten used to it all these years. Usually, he would handle their public affairs while Eudora would handle their private affairs.

As long as it involved Amos, everything would be personal matters.

Therefore, Eudora would make the call for this matter.

Only Amos and Eudora were left in the office. Eudora walked behind Amos and gently massaged his temples.

“Are you having a headache again? Do you think you are still in your twenties? You lose your temper all the time! Be careful not to become an old codger, or I’ll dislike you then!”

Amos held her hand and said, “Who are you to diss me like that? Weren’t you worried just now either? Are you not feeling well?”

Eudora shook her head, “No, that’s not…”

Before her voice died away, Amos had already pulled her over and made her sit down on his lap.

Then, he held her in his arms and said, “You have to rest for a while anyway. I’ll handle Naomi’s matter!”

Eudora leaned on his broad chest with her head aslant.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you. Remember, don’t blow a fuse again!”

…

Clint returned with some findings soon. He said, “I’ve found out that he immigrated to a foreign country with his parents when he was a child. His parents died one after another two years ago. There’s no problem with his family background. As for why he hid his identity, according to the clues I found, it was to make it easier for him to inspect the collaboration between his company and ours.”

“Moreover, he indeed did stand up for Miss Naomi when she was in trouble.”

Amos frowned and said, “Is that all? Have you found anything else?”

“There’s another problem. In addition to this information, he has another identity!”
