Amos was perplexed and asked, âWhat identity does he have?â
Clint was puzzled as well and he replied, âMy investigation indicates that he might be Vincent Granger.â
This time, Amos and Eudora were both stunned.
âVincent Granger?!â
Clint took out all the information he had found and proclaimed, âYes, Vincent Granger!â
âWe met Vincent here for the last time. Later, you had sent Charlie to investigate! However, nothing came up. In the end, we could only let the police announce that he was dead. However, no one had actually found Vincentâs body!
âMr. Luther was adopted by his current parents almost at the same time! Although the information showed that Mr. Luther is their biological son, I have looked into their blood types and some other information sources. Preliminary investigation suggests that Mr. Luther is Vincent Granger.â
Amos frowned and said, âIf he really is Vincent, what the hell is he planning to do now?â
Eudora also became worried and said, âCould it be that he has done all this on purpose?â
Clint pursed his lips and said, âThat⦠might not necessarily be the case.â
Eudora said with a hint of annoyance, âCanât you explain everything all at once?â
Clint said, âYou havenât given me a chance to do that!â
As soon as he finished his words, he felt someoneâs cold eyes behind him. Clint immediately admitted his mistake, âItâs all my fault. Mrs. Granger, youâre right.â
Clint regained his composure.
Then, he continued, âI have gotten his physical examination data from the hospital, which showed that he went to the neurology department when he was adopted. It was stated that he had lost his memories after his head was hit by a hard object!â
âAre you sure?â
Clint nodded and said, âIâm absolutely certain!â
Amos and Eudora exchanged a look and both of them were a little depressed.
âCould it be that this is really fate?â
Eudora and Amos both noticed that Naomi would secretly mourn for Vincent every year.
They had no idea about her feelings. In the beginning, Eudora simply felt that Naomi was just grieving for her lost friend.
Naomi continued to do that for many years which made Eudora start to believe that relationships between children were everlasting.
After Clint had left, Eudora turned to Amos.
She said in a low voice, âShould we tell Naomi about this?â
Amos shook his head and replied, âWeâd better not tell her for the time being. We will have to wait and see what happens!â
âAlright!â Eudora said with a nod. She also thought that it would be better not to fluster or astonish her daughter with the news.
â¦
Although Naomi failed to have a pleasant conversation with her father, she calmed herself down and amended her projects again. She still insisted on visiting the previous companies.
As soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Cynthia, her documents dropping to the ground.
âMadam Leon!â
Cynthia glanced at the documents on the floor, feeling a little surprised. She asked, âYouâve revised them again?â
Naomi nodded and said, âYes! Iâm going out to visit the bosses of these companies.â
âWhy bother?â Cynthia asked in a low voice.
Naomi was mystified and replied, âThis is my job!â
Hearing this, Cynthia raised her eyebrows and said, âThese words should be said by those in the department who can only rely on nothing but themselves! Being born with a silver spoon in your mouth, the whole department can be yours as long as you ask it from Chairman Granger since he adores you so much! Do you need to be so serious about your job?â
Naomi picked up the things from the ground and replied, âMadam Leon, Iâve always thought that you are a person worthy of respect! I thought that you would treat everyone equally regardless of their wealth, social position, and background. Iâm dismayed to hear you saying such discriminative words now!â
Cynthia had not expected that she would be reproached by Naomi, therefore she was taken aback.
âWhat did you just say?â
âI said, Iâm incredibly surprised. Madam Leon, my parents never taught me that I can achieve my goals without putting in any effort. Instead, theyâve always told me that thereâs no such thing as a free lunch and I have to work hard in order to get what I desire and Iâve always stuck to this principle. Is there a problem?â
After that, she smiled at Cynthia.
âI didnât mean to offend you. I hope that my projects will pull through today.â
After that, she waved at Cynthia and strode out.
Seeing her grit and determination, Cynthiaâs lips curled into a smile.
â¦
The companies she was dealing with were still the same as before. Thus. Naomi went to the first one.
Due to the fact that she had come here several times, she was already familiar with their excuses. When she had come here a few days ago, the receptionist kept telling her that their boss was not in.
Hence, that day, Naomi went over to ask the receptionist.
âMay I know if your boss is in now?â
However, the receptionist was deferential towards her this time.
âYes! Our boss is in now. Let me show you the way!â
Naomi felt elated upon hearing the good news, thus she failed to notice the change in the receptionistâs attitude.
After she introduced herself, Naomi presented her proposals. The boss only looked at it for a few seconds before he made a decision.
The boss only looked at it for a few seconds before he made a decision, âThe project is excellent. Letâs sign the contract at once!â
Naomi grew wary of his enthusiasm, so she asked, âDonât you need to let your subordinates analyze it?â
The boss immediately shook his head and said, âThereâs no need for that. I believe in Miss Georgeâs capabilities!â
Naomiâs heart skipped a beat as she asked, âWhat did you call me?â
âMiss George! Arenât you Miss Naomi George, the daughter of Mr. Amos Granger from Valiant East? I believe in Valiant Eastâs capabilities. Whatâs more, Mr. Luther came here personally to give us some assurance, so this collaborationâ¦â
âNelson came to see you?â Naomi interrupted him again.
âYes! Mr. Luther came here in the morning! He didnât mention that you are his girlfriend. However, the news between you two and the cooperation between Valiant East and Inchee Company had been spread all around the city. Iâm sure your two companiesâ performance will improve even more.â
After that, he picked up the contract on the table.
âAbout the contractâ¦â
Naomiâs joy instantly dissipated.
She had thought that someone really liked her project, but it turned out that the deal had pulled through because of her ârelationshipâ with Nelson. Ironically, she had just reproved Cynthia just now.
If she agreed to sign the contract now, wouldnât that be contradicting her own statement?
Not to mention, she really was unable to accept this!
Naomi took the contract back and said, âForget it! I think we might not be able to collaborate anymore.â
The boss hurriedly asked, âWhatâs the matter? Why is that?â
âI do not like that your decision was influenced by external factors. I would rather cooperate with someone who truly likes my project!â
The boss laughed immediately and said, âThereâs no problem with that. Miss George, I really do like your project, and it has nothing to do with anything else, so letâs cooperate!â
Naomi was rendered speechless.
âThereâs no need for that!â After saying that, Naomi turned and left right away.
