That last sentence that Lucy said kept replaying in Naomi's mind. She could not calm down for a very long time.Previously, she had felt that the accident was rather strange, but she believed that Scott would not do that to her mother.However, the seed of suspicion has been planted! She must reinvestigate her mother's death! "Naomi, Naomi! What are you thinking? We agreed to go shopping yet you're here daydreaming!" Susan's voice pulled Naomi back to reality."Nothing, I'm just thinking about something.""Is it about signing with Cezanne, becoming their exclusive model?" Susan excitedly grabbed Naomi's arm."This is such a great opportunity! You can use this to return to the modeling world, and we can work together again!""It's not about this." Naomi smiled helplessly. "Susan, about signing the deal, I still need more time to think this through.""Okay, then." Susan shrugged and pinched Naomi's fair and soft cheeks."But, if you're planning to go into the entertainment worl
"So you're really going?""Of course, I have to go. This is a chance. Even if anything fishy happens, I'll be able to turn the situation around!"Naomi narrowed her eyes slightly, it was time Gin City knew of her! "Alright then, I'll go to the banquet tomorrow night as well. If anything happens, I'll be able to help you." Susan patted her shoulder with some concern."Susan, I love you!" Naomi buried her head into Susan's embrace in happiness."If you love me, then sign a contract with our film company!""Let me think about that first.""Go die!"The two of them happily had lunch together. After that, Naomi bid Susan farewell and returned to Tarragon Bay.She was still not done with Hough Corp.This time, Naomi had strengthened the hiding program. If Hough Corp's technicians wanted to catch her, well it was… impossible!For half a day, Naomi looked for clues in Hough Corp's system. She finally found the leaker, and sent over the list of names.After a while, Nine sent a message, [Lord
The girl fell face-first onto the floor and planted herself on the ground with her limbs outstretched, unmoving. Jack clicked his tongue with lowered eyes.Was she broken?The girl on the floor still did not move, and she started to breathe calmly.She's still asleep?Jack laughed silently to himself as he unconsciously bent down and reached his hand out, but remembered him carrying her out of kindness the first night and being scolded…The man's face sunk and turned around to leave after a moment."Achoo! Cold…"Naomi let out sneeze after sneeze, fast asleep on the floor. She was talking in her sleep."Achoo!"Jack frowned as he clenched his fists before relaxing them. After puzzling over it for a few seconds, he returned to the sofa.He bent down and picked the girl up from the ground, placing her on the sofa. He was just about to remove his hands when…Naomi suddenly wrapped around him, hugging his arm tightly with her hands and legs.The girl's fresh smell assaulted J
"Oh?" Jack almost let out a cold laugh as he motioned for her to continue."Why?""Because…"Naomi jumped and sat on the sofa, adopting a tyrannical stance as she started to spout a bunch of nonsense with a serious look, "You keep making me sleep on the sofa. I can't stretch my legs or turn my body. The living room is so cold at night, I never sleep well! This time the effects were mild, but if it gets worse I might even sleepwalk! If I accidentally got a knife from the kitchen…"Saying that, Naomi deliberately stopped, sneaking a look at Jack."So what do you want to do?"Jack crossed his arm around his chest as a cold and nonchalant smile was on his mouth. He stared at Naomi."Of course, you should let me sleep on the bed. I'm not so unreasonable, we can take turns using the bed, surely that's fine? You promised me you would consider it last time!"Naomi impatiently blurted out her final words, but when she saw Jack's expression, she frowned. That old man was so petty, he w
"Have you prepared your clothes for the banquet?""Clothes?" Naomi took a sharp breath. She had completely forgotten about it after busying herself with her thesis the entire day."Just from your tone, I can tell you didn't prepare anything! However, someone asked me to prepare a present for you," Susan said mysteriously on the phone."A present? From who?" Naomi thought about it in detail. Other than Susan, she had already cut off contact with the rest of them.All that was left were scumbags like Gary and Scott, it was already great if they weren't trying to harm her.Who else would give her any presents?"It's a secret, you'll know when you're here. I'll have the driver pick you up!"Before Naomi could ask any more questions, Susan hung up the phone…At eight that night, in West City Hotel, a long red carpet extended from the entrance of the hotel to the hall. Both sides of the carpet were filled with media members and cameramen. They fought against each other as the flash
On the second-floor balcony, Jack stood by the railing and happened to see that scene."Sir, Miss Naomi seems to be getting bullied, should we help her out?"Sean stood by his side, and could not help but look over Jack when he saw Naomi being pitifully surrounded by a good number of women.The man pursed his lips slightly as he recalled what Naomi had said the day before. His expression darkened, 'We're not really husband and wife, why do you care?'"Sir?" Sean tried to ask him again.Jack coldly averted his gaze, and his tone sounded aloof, "Doesn't she always do whatever she wants? Who can control her?""Oh…" Sean helplessly shut his mouth as he looked at Naomi with worry.All those women were powerful socialites within Gin City, could Naomi really handle them?"Who said my dress is cheap?" Naomi crossed her arms around her chest as she glanced at everyone."Hmph! Naomi, you really don't have any common sense. Do you think buying a gown that looks like it's from a famous br
"Miss Spence, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not speaking about you. We’re just commenting on my sister’s skirt."Clarissa was surprised and happy to see Lucy Spence. She quickly explained to Lucy.She had deliberately worn a skirt that was famously designed by Lucy just to gain Lucy's favor.Lucy's reaction was far from what Clarissa had expected it to be. She had simply ignored Clarissa and walked to Naomi."I designed this skirt. It's a limited edition piece, and this is the only piece available in the entire world!""Wha… What? You designed this skirt?!"Sherry Frank was so frightened that her lips turned white. Clarissa’s smile stiffened too. How could that be?Naomi was just a broke b*tch with no money nor connections. How did she get the money to get and wear the clothes that Lucy designed?!"Looks like you all don't really like my designs. Well, I won't force you to stay. You may leave!"Lucy spoke coldly. She had shocked Sherry and the group of girls. They were all dumbf
Lucy was smart and observant. She noticed the changes in their expressions and deliberately asked, "Why didn’t you both come together?"Naomi heard Lucy's question and felt confused. She smugly wrinkled her nose."Lucy, I came here as the daughter of the Green family, not Mrs. Hough."'Hmph! You complained about me, and you even refused to bring me here! I also despise my identity as your wife!' Lucy deliberately used a scornful gaze as she swept past him. As she expected, Daddy's face grew darker."Ah… Why don’t we get a seat first?"Lucy saw the couple was still angry with each other. She quickly changed the topic and distracted them.The crowd gradually entered the hall from behind."Clarissa! I told you to come here to socialize with influential people. I didn’t ask you to be an embarrassment!"Scott had heard of the earlier incident and reprimanded Clarissa in displeasure."Dear, it was all Naomi’s fault! Why did you allow her to join the event? She embarrassed Clarissa
