Chapter 1077
This was the first time that Naomi had seen Nelson after the incident.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight as he looked haggard.
She had no idea if it was because he had not recovered yet, but he looked a little tired.
He looked nothing like the high-spirited CEO in the past. Naomi thought that she could remain calm,
but when she saw him, her heart still stung.
"Are you doing fine?" Nelson asked in a hoarse voice.
Naomi was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She put aside the worries in
her eyes and said lightly.
She concealed the worry in her eyes and said lightly, "I'm doing pretty well!"
"That's good!" Nelson pressed his lips together. "As long as you're fine, I'm glad!"
Naomi frowned before replying, "As I've said, there's no need to say those words to me anymore. I
won't be stupid enough to be tricked by you anymore! Please maintain some distance!"
Nelson said with a bitter smile, "Okay."
After that, the prison guards behind him took him away.
In the meeting room, Monique looked much better as compared to Nelson.
She did not look like a death sentence prisoner who was about to be executed. Instead, she looked
extremely calm. Upon seeing Nelson enter, she smiled and waved to him.
Monique acted exactly like the past bossy leader she used to be.
"You're here?"
Not saying anything, Nelson sat down opposite her.
"What can I do for you?"
"What do you mean? Can't I meet you without any agendas? Besides, I'm going to be sentenced to
death. Can't we go on a trip down memory lane together?"
Nelson was still expressionless as he replied, "It's what you asked for!"
Monique shrugged her shoulders and said, "You're really an ungrateful person. No matter how bad of a
person I am, I saved you when you were in trouble, didn't I? Why don't you remember anything good
about me?"
Nelson snorted, "You're the one who destroyed all of the good parts of yourself in my eyes!"
Monique was slightly stunned upon hearing his words.
Recollecting a memory, her eyes twitched slightly ."Someone once said that to me before."
The main reason why Nelson had not paid much attention to Monique was because he did not have the
slightest interest in her at all! Therefore, he naturally would not care about her words and actions.
However, Monique was looking for a companion and was eager to speak her mind. At that moment,
Nelson was to play that role.
She stood up and scanned his face.
"Actually, you really look like that person." She shook her head and said, "No, your eyes and eyebrows
don't look like him, but you have a similar character to his."
Nelson frowned and asked, "What tricks are you playing again?"
"Aren't you curious about why I asked people to stop the car that day?" Monique said. "If I didn't stop
the car that day, maybe you wouldn't have had the chance to work with the police and arrest me!" "So,
do you regret doing so?"
Monique shook her head as she replied, "No, I don't regret it at all."
Nelson's curiosity was piqued upon her response and he asked, "I didn't expect you to say something
like that. I thought someone like you had no conscience!"
Monique said with a wry smile, "I won't say that I have a conscience. Otherwise, he would not have
died!"
As she spoke, she looked up at the dark roof above her head. There were no lights on the ceiling, and
the room was a bit creepy.
"My parents passed away early, and he grew up with me. When I was a child, he was incredibly clingy!"
Nelson understood that Monique was talking about her younger brother.
Everyone in the organization knew that Monique cared about her brother a lot, although no one had
ever seen him.
However, there were rumors about her brother. It was said that although Monique's brother had passed
away, she would hold a birthday party for him every year and buy new clothes for him. She would put
an extra bowl of rice on the table every day, as if her brother was still alive.
However, there was another rumor that Monique's younger brother had died in her own hands.
"When I was with him, it felt like home."
Although Monique's words were quite pitiable, Nelson still failed to feel any pity for her.
"You killed him with your own hands, yet you're now still saying these ridiculous words. Don't you feel
that you're very pathetic?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"I didn't kill him!" Monique suddenly gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned red.
"How could I have killed him? He's my own younger brother! Do you know how much pain I was in after
he died? It was an accident. I didn't know that he would stop me!"
Nelson looked at Monique lightly.
"At that time, I was with Thomas. However, how could a man like Thomas treat me sincerely? If I
wanted to protect my brother, I could only become stronger myself."
After a pause, Monique's eyes darkened.
She seemed to have returned to that moment.
Monique said with a choked voice, "Everyone thought that I killed him myself. Everyone thought that I
killed my own family member for money and glory, even Thomas. Later, he praised me in front of
everyone and rewarded me for having good work ethics. F*ck him! No one can compare to my brother,
no one!"
Nelson understood, he asked, "So, you treated me that way because I resemble him?"
Monique shook her head and said, "I've told you, you don't look like him. It's just that you are as kind as
him."
Nelson said with a bitter smile, "Kind?"
He did not reckon that he was kind.
"You are kind, as you did not hurt Naomi. However, it's too late. Let me tell you, in this world, good
people will only end up dying. Since we're all going to die no matter if we're good or bad, why not do
the things we want?"
Nelson was noncommittal as he replied, "Since you've said so, it means that you haven't really seen
through everything. Since you said that your brother didn't die because of you, then let me ask you this
: if you hadn't worked for Thomas but listened to your brother instead and lived a simple life together,
would he have died?"
Monique was stunned. As if she had been struck by something, she began to show a horrified look on
her face.
"Nonsense! It's not like that! My brother was killed by Thomas..."
