At Tarragon Bay."Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"On the other end of the phone, Susan asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Naomi?""I'm fine. Maybe my enemies are cursing me or something," Naomi replied as she pulled up the blanket and snuggled into the couch.She held her phone in one hand and her laptop in the other.On the coffee table next to her was a bowl of unfinished instant noodles. It was quite a pathetic scene.She suddenly found herself missing Mister Daddy's cooking.Naomi shook her head violently the second that thought entered her mind and slapped her cheeks to wake herself up.Jack slammed the door in her face and left without so much as an apology after saying those horrible things to her the day before. Someone like that was not worth mulling over!Susan's anxious voice came through the phone once again. "Speaking of enemies, I'm sure Clarissa is thinking of ways to get back at you after what you did today!""Ha! I messed with her on purpose so she'd show her hand. Beside

"You!" Scott snapped as he pointed an angry finger at Naomi, shaking with rage."Naomi!" Clarissa stepped in. "This is my dad's right!""What right? This is daylight robbery! You even tricked me into signing over the inheritance rights!"Naomi fired a contemptuous glare at the trio in front of her. Then, she pulled out a contract and a pen from her bag."If you want the formulas, sign this contract, and I'll hand them over.""What contract?""It's simple. I've prepared a list. First, give me all of Mom's things and transfer all the shares she left behind to me. Then, I'll give you all of the formulas and guides on how to develop them," Naomi explained as if she was speaking to a group of imbeciles."No way! Forget it!" Lilian exclaimed.Rachel had left behind a collection of exquisite jewelry. Since Lilian had them in the palm of her hands, she was not about to let them go of them so easily!Besides, if they handed over the shares to Naomi, what would happen to Clarissa's futu

The dark living room stared back at Jack in pin-drop silence, as if silently mocking his one-sided enthusiasm.Jack reached out to turn on the lights, and the state of the living room shocked him.Junk food piled up on the coffee table, including a cold, half-eaten bowl of instant noodles.A game console and a laptop were placed carelessly on top of the pile, and the floor was covered in food crumbs.It was painstakingly clear that Naomi had spent the past few days in freedom and bliss.Jack's face hardened. He looked into the bedroom and the study, and he could not find a soul.He could not believe that he had purposely finished his work early and rushed back on the earliest flight.Naomi was not waiting for him at all."Ha…"Jack let out a cold laugh. He let go of his grip, and the gift box he held fell straight into the trash bin.The gifts, like his extinguished enthusiasm, turned into ashes and garbage.He pulled out his phone and dialed Sean's number."Book me a presi

The unforgiving rain continued to pour.Covered in blood, Naomi burst through the warehouse doors and staggered towards the main road.She paid the price for the ten minutes of indestructible power, and she became utterly exhausted.She had used up every bit of her strength to deal with those b*stards and barely had the strength to walk.She accidentally stepped on a rock and fell violently into a pile of mud while the cold rain continued to pour down on her frail body.Her vision began to blur, and her mind turned into mush."No! I have to stay awake!"Naomi bit down hard on her bottom lip and crawled her way towards the road.Was she really about to die in the middle of nowhere?Suddenly, the rain stopped falling on the top of her head, and a pair of white sneakers appeared in front of her eyes.Naomi's eyes shot up, and she was met with a face that she never expected to see."Mister Long Legs?"A young man was sheltering her with a transparent umbrella. The bright eyes a

"Of course! You should really thank him properly," replied Susan."Hmph… I can't believe he's got a kind side to him."Naomi's tone was hesitant. She scratched her head in embarrassment at the thought of how she blew up at Jack earlier."Fine, I'll apologize to him when I get the chance. Ouch!"Naomi felt a sharp pain from her bruises as she turned in bed."I think you should get some rest today.""Alright."After she hung up on Susan, Naomi lay back on the bed but could not fall asleep. Her mind was filled with that boy at one moment, then Jack's face.The next morning, the attending doctor checked in on her."Luckily, it was only some mild bruising. You can go home today.""Thank you, Doctor," Naomi responded politely.As she walked out of the examination room, she saw Smith's smiling face waiting in front of her room."Miss Naomi, Old Mister Hough requests your presence at the Hough Mansion."Naomi was stunned as she asked, "Hough Mansion? Shouldn't I be returning to Ta
