Chapter 970
In the hotel.
Her colleagues raised their glasses together and cheered, "Today is the first day that Naomi officially
joins our big family. Therefore, we must drink until we're drunk!"
Naomi shook her head and tried to stop them, "We still have work tomorrow! Drink moderately!"
"Madam Leon, what do you say?"
Cynthia smiled and replied, "Tomorrow, everyone in our department can be late for half an hour!
However, don't drink too much. If there's any delay in your work, I won't forgive you!"
After saying so, Cynthia picked up her bag and stood up.
"My children are still waiting for me to go back to take care of them. I'll take my leave first!"
When Cynthia was there, many people were unable to act freely. After she left, everyone started to let
go of themselves.
All of them grabbed their glasses and headed towards Naomi, wanting to get her drunk.
As a result, everyone ended up in a drunken mess and Naomi was the only one who was sober.
Naomi shrugged her shoulders. When she had lived with Leslie, she would often practice drinking
alcohol with him. Who would've thought that he could drink so well?
She had only consumed ten percent of her tolerance but everyone else was already drunk.
Naomi put her hand on her forehead. After thinking about it for a while, she went to call for the waiter.
"Please help me arrange some rooms for my colleagues to rest in! I'll pay with my card!"
When the waiter saw that she was a VIP customer, he dared not to neglect her request. He
immediately arranged for people to settle her colleagues down accordingly.
Naomi left and called for a taxi home after she made sure everything was settled.
Just as she was waiting for the taxi, her mobile phone rang.
On the other end came Richard's anxious voice. He said, "Miss George, have you seen Mr. Luther?"
Naomi was taken aback as she replied, "Nelson? No, I haven't! We have not contacted each other
today! What's the matter?"
Richard was stunned for a while, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Luther might have gone
missing!"
"What?" Naomi was shocked. She quickly said, "What are you talking about? Why has he gone missing
for no reason?"
Just yesterday, things had been well!
"It's true! Mr. Luther might really have disappeared! I haven't been able to contact him, and his
bodyguards haven't seen him either! What should I do? It'd be troublesome if all this was done by that
person!"
"That person? Who?" Naomi asked.
Richard realized that his tongue had slipped and instantly paused before continuing, "You should ask
Mr. Luther about this matter for yourself in the future. The most urgent thing now is to find Mr. Luther
immediately. I will send for someone..."
"Wait a moment!" Naomi stopped him. "You are unfamiliar with Rosaville City. If you could find him
yourself, you would have done so already. Let me think of a way! Please calm down first and think of
anywhere that Nelson would have gone!"
After she hung up on the call, Naomi immediately searched her contact list.
She first found Amos' phone number, yet at the moment she wanted to press it, she paused.
Amos had always disliked Nelson. If he were to find out that something had happened to Nelson, his
impression of Nelson might even worsen!
Forget it!
Below his contact was Charlie and Clint, and she immediately scrolled past their names too.
Both of them were Amos' trusted subordinate. If they knew about this, then Amos would too!
In the end, Naomi cast her eyes on Leslie. He had always taken good care of her. When she was a
child, Master Clarke and herself had many secrets together that her parents did not know of.
Besides, Master Clarke had a lot of subordinates.
Naomi finally gave Leslie a call.
She started, "Master Clarke, don't ask me anything else. Please help me to search for someone first!
After we are able to locate him, then I'll explain everything to you slowly, okay?"
Leslie kept silent before asking, "Is this something that your parents can't know about? Is it that Nelson
guy?"
Naomi said, "...You already know about this!"
"How can I not know about your matters? Fine, I'll send someone to look for him immediately."
Naomi nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Clarke."
It was getting late. It seemed like Naomi would not be able to have a good night's sleep. She realized
that her parents would grow suspicious if she acted uneasy, therefore she called Cindy.
"Auntie Cindy, I have something to do so I might need to stay with Master Clarke for a few days. Please
inform my parents!"
After that, she got into the taxi and headed towards where Leslie was.
There were lights everywhere in Leslie's yard. People were walking in and out of the yard.
Upon seeing Naomi, everyone bowed to her, "Miss Naomi!"
Naomi waved her hand and said, "You can all continue on with your own business. Don't worry about
me."
Naomi did not stop until she walked all the way to the living room.
"Master Clarke, how are things going?"
Leslie snorted and said, "You ungrateful girl. I've been taking care of you for so many years. I don't
mind if your parents are more important than me, but I can't even be compared with a boy who
appeared out of nowhere now?"
Naomi was rendered speechless.
The older Leslie got, the more he liked to fight for her favor.
"There's no way!" Naomi shook her head and denied his statement. "Master Clarke, you're the best!
Otherwise, I would not have thought of you immediately in such an important matter!"
"What a sweet talker!" Leslie snorted and called for his servants.
"I've asked you to prepare some desserts and fruits for Miss Naomi. Why aren't they served yet?"
Naomi felt warm in her heart. Leslie had always acted like this. He would always say hurtful things, but
in truth, he cared about her the most in his heart!
However, how could she be in the mood to eat now? She looked at Leslie with eager eyes.
Leslie snorted again and said, "Don't stare at me like that! I've sent people to search for him, so there's
no use in being anxious. You reek of alcohol. Where did you go? Eat some fruit and sober up!"
Naomi had no choice but to eat a few pieces. However, they were tasteless to her.
Soon, Leslie's bodyguards entered from the outside.
"Sir, we've found him!"
Naomi sprang to her feet almost instantaneously and asked, "Where?" "In a forest not far from here. He
seems to have been besieged. We don't know how to deal with them, therefore we didn't attack his
kidnappers. We are still observing!"
"What? What are you still observing for at this point in time? Rescue him quickly!"
"Okay, I'll arrange for some men to go there right now!"
Naomi was extremely angry as she added, "I'll go too!"
Before Leslie could speak, she had already rushed out. Leslie sighed and said, "This girl has grown up
already. She's destined to marry someone else! Forget it, let her go! You guys, follow her, and make NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
sure she doesn't get hurt!"
"Yes, sir!"
The group of people rushed to the suburbs. As soon as they got to the woods, they heard the sound of
people fighting.
There were many people on the other side, all of them muscular. Nelson was alone, and he had
already been heavily injured, therefore his stamina was gradually starting to run out.
No longer heeding caution, Naomi shouted for them to stop.
Their opponents were startled, but when they turned around and saw that the sound came from a
fragile girl, they smiled again.
"I thought that some big guy had come! It turns out that you're just a little girl! It's good that you have a
sense of justice, but you can tell that we hold personal grudges against him here. I advise you not to
get involved in this. Otherwise, do not blame us for hurting you!"
