"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
Chaos broke out at Naomi's claim. "Naomi, please stop your nonsense. Dad was the one who bought this necklace. He gave the Ocean Star to my mom as a gift to represent their love."Clarissa knew that her actions would cause Naomi to overreact. She deliberately played the part of the victim and spoke in a pitiful manner. Anyway, no one in the hall would know how they had obtained the Ocean Star. She could just make up any story that she liked.Lilian waited for her chance to provoke Naomi."That’s right. Naomi, your dad had bought the necklace for me. I can do as I like with it, including auctioning it. You should sit down. Don't embarrass your father!"Lilian’s words only added fuel to the fire."Try saying that again!"Naomi gritted her teeth in anger. She hated how Clarissa and Lilian blatantly lied in public."How can you both be so shameless! Do you seriously think you deserve the Ocean Star?""Enough!" Scott stood up with a cold face and shouted loudly at Naomi."I ga
"How can there be such a shameless person! I feel regret for Rachel! Spence, I’ll leave the rest to you!""Understood, sir," Lucy said and ended the call. Everyone immediately understood."Naomi was telling the truth!""Her dad took his wife’s necklace and gave it to his mistress to please her. He even claimed that the necklace represented their love! What a shameless person!""We must not get involved with people like them!"Scott listened to the harsh voices around him. He felt embarrassed and decided to adopt a ruthless approach to the matter at hand."I didn’t lie! Rachel has passed away. I’ve inherited the necklace. I can give it to whoever I want!""Oh, sorry, but you don’t have that right!"Naomi smiled coldly and shot Scott a look of disgust."It had been clearly written in the agreement that transferred ownership that if my mom were to have passed then the Ocean Star could be reclaimed by Cezanne's president! The necklace is worth millions, and anyone who illegally to
A middle-aged man at the front row stood up and announced solemnly, "I am the general manager of West City Hotel. I would like to formally announce the three of you will be banned from our hotel. This includes any hotel under our brand.""Now, please leave!"As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, several security guards immediately came over to escort Scott, Clarissa, and Lilian away. There was a burst of teasing laughter from the crowd."Hmph! I’ve never heard of any hotel that chases away their customers. Don’t worry, I will never come to a hotel like yours again!" Scott flushed with great shame. He could only pretend to issue a warning. Then, in embarrassment, he left the venue with Lilian and Clarissa away. Back at the Green family home, Scott pointed at Lilian and Clarissa and scolded them angrily."Both of you are embarrassing! I’ve never felt so much shame in my whole life!"After Scott was done scolding them, he got into the car and left without a care for t
