"Shut the door!" Jack said aloofly and impatiently as if he never saw Clarissa.Clarissa's smile stiffened on her face which turned awkwardly pale. She…had been rejected! How was that possible? This was the first time in her life she had gone through such humiliation! Naomi looked at Clarissa's awkward and troubled expression. She praised Jack's aloofness in her heart.'Mister Daddy, you truly do see right through manipulative b*tches!'"Okay, I'll shut the door!" Naomi suppressed her laughter while pushing Clarissa's hand away and shutting the car door.Slam! Clarissa came to her senses. Her face was fluctuating between turning blue and blushing red. She glared at Naomi loathingly.She had never lost so terribly! She would make sure Naomi suffered.The car was about to move when Clarissa suddenly said in a shrill voice, "Naomi, you're already married to another man. Isn't it a tad bit inappropriate to be in another man's car?""What are you talking about?" Naomi was a littl
In the Rolls-Joyce."Mister Daddy, your performance was great. It looks like people in your industry know a thing or two about service."Naomi changed into a comfortable position and lazily leaned back. She nodded approvingly at Jack.Due to his perfect performance a moment ago, Naomi did not bother to pursue the matter of him not responding to her text."Service?"Jack raised his eyebrows and swept Naomi a cold glance with his deep eyes.Who did she think he was?Sean, who was driving, was scared half to death while sweating profusely.Has this girl gone mad? Naomi instinctively cowered a little. Why did the temperature in the car seem to go down? She looked around in the luxurious car and felt as if something was not quite right.The next second, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at Jack in a disapproving way."You just received a million dollars, yet you have already bought such a luxury car. Aren't you a little too reckless?"The limited-edition Rolls-Joyce
Naomi changed into a white dress that showed off her petite figure. It seemed to have made her glow too. Her long hair was tied into a bun. It was graceful, yet not compromising on her bubbly youthfulness.On her fair face were two huge watery eyes filled with vivacity.She was pretty and elegant, utterly gorgeous.Even Sean, who was used to seeing beautiful celebrities, took a second look too.Naomi gently lifted her skirt and spun around for Jack, showing off."So, Daddy, are you satisfied with my outfit?" Naomi had utilized her utmost professional attitude to pick a dress that elderly people would love the most. She was definitely cooperating as best as she could.Jack soon retracted his gaze. He said indifferently, "It's alright."Naomi's face darkened instantly! Tsk! Straight men! No wonder he was still single at his age! The two of them left the salon and headed for Hough Mansion. On the way, Sean passed Naomi a stack of documents."Miss Green, tonight's gathering i
"Mister Smith, you got it wrong. It is because he used to eat too many carrots, that the food he hates most now are carrots."Naomi placed her utensils down and looked at Smith seriously."Ah, yes, yes, yes! I've got it wrong. Must be my old age." Smith slapped his forehead, pretended to be sorry, and immediately took away the plate with carrots.Sure enough, Old Mister Hough was even more delighted. He instructed Smith, "Serve Naomi some soup."Then, he smiled and turned to look at Naomi benevolently and excitedly, "Our soup is amazing. You must try it.""Uh, thank you," Naomi gave a fake smile and accepted the soup. She was extremely against it in her heart. Why did the soup have to have cilantro, the one food she hated the most! Just when Naomi was hesitating on whether she should taste it or not, a huge hand came over and took away the bowl of soup."You don't like cilantro. Don't drink it." Jack's tone was still aloof but seemed natural, as if the two of them had been toge
"B*tch! You still dare deny that these are not you?" Andrea suddenly waved her hand, and the photos flew up like snowflakes in the air, landing on Naomi.Coincidentally, one of the photos landed right in front of Jack. It was a shocking photo of Naomi hugging another guy around the shoulders!Jack instantly emitted a dangerous aura, glaring at Naomi coldly. Naomi picked up a photo to have a look. Her face was in the photo indeed, it was taken during a group photo the semester before. However, she has never hugged any of these male classmates! Naomi had a closer look. No, it was not right! The body in the photos was not hers! "The photos are p…""The photos are proof!" Andrea did not give Naomi any chance to explain. She directly shoved the photos in front of Old Mister Hough.In fact, Andrea got those photos from the school group photos. She specifically hired someone to photoshop the faces. Of course, she could not let Naomi expose the truth! "T-This! This…" Old Mister Hou
"Great acting." Jack snickered mockingly."So, you think I planned all this?" Naomi's nose was sore. She bore through the grievances she felt and asked Jack."Stop pretending! You and I are done!" Jack looked at her in detest. He coldly turned around, picked Old Mister Hough up, went around her, and got in the car. He did all this as if she did not exist! At that moment, Naomi's heart hurt, like a knife stabbing into her. Finally, she could not hold back anymore. Tears started forming in her eyes."Someone, come and escort this b*tch out!"After Jack and the rest left, Andrea smiled maliciously."There is no need! I'll leave!" Naomi swept Andrea a cold glance. She turned around and rubbed her reddened eyes before striding away."Hmph! Don't you dare think of marrying into the Houghs! You're not worthy of it!" Andrea mocked coldly, looking at Naomi leaving.At that moment, Andrea got a phone call from Clarissa. "Andrea, I'm worried for you. Did you do anything stupid? Is everyt
Crack! At the side of the road, Naomi raised her phone and slammed it brutally onto the blond thug's head. The phone instantly cracked into two! "Ow!" The blond thug wailed while clutching his head. "What are you guys still standing there for? Get her!"The other thugs immediately rushed at Naomi when they heard the orders."I'll just deal with you all on my own!"Naomi cracked her neck and wrists. Her eyes were extremely cold. "Unfortunately for you guys, I'm in a bad mood today!""Hehe, you have tiny limbs, who do you think…ouch!"A thug approached her condescendingly. Before he could finish his sentence, Naomi kicked his crotch, making him fall to the ground wailing.Naomi sneered. "I've always been accurate in where I hit!"A few years back, when Naomi was in her rebellious teenage years, she had secretly learnt martial arts. Even Scott did not know that she was the District Champion in Scatter Boxing! The other thugs were now aggravated. They swarmed her all at once.
Jack was dressed in black, approaching Naomi like a huge, looming mountain.Chills ran down Naomi's back. She immediately sat up straight and proper. She was feeling quite nervous."Are you feeling better?" Jack towered over Naomi, looking down at her, sizing her up. His gaze fell on the bruises on her arm. A hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.Smith the butler had already told him everything about the blind date. Scott had secretly changed the blind date to Clarissa instead of Naomi. Naomi was kept in the dark. Jack's meeting with Naomi was just a coincidence."It's only light injuries, it's almost healed," Naomi answered in a fake nonchalance. She uncovered the sheets and got up."I've seen the video. We no longer owe each other anything. I'll make a move first." Naomi said a couple of polite words and wanted to leave. She did not want to get involved with a person like Jack who was nothing but trouble.Jack reached his arm out and blocked her in her path."What are you
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly. "I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!" Naomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows. "Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past." "All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm. The anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi. Jack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me." "I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart. ‘Obviously, that girl was Queenie. ‘Speaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender. ‘All right! Queenie will always be your angel!' Naomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding. ‘But Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?' Naomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472 Sean was speechless. He scratched his hair. Professor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go. "Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders. "It's cold." "You're the patient. You need it more than I do." Naomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms. "I'm all healed up." "Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously. Then Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt. Touching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed. "What are you doing? We're in a public place..." "I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes. "All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts. Jack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it. "Sean said you couldn’t sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..." He wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it. Naomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard. "Since you don't like it, give it back to me.” Jack was about to take the doll away. "No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?" Naomi hid the doll behind her back. Just as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms. Jack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her. Falling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment. Jack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again. He wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470 A worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes. It was silent. Naomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out. "Uh... Are all your wounds healed?" "Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof. Naomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her. Naomi didn’t know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye. Naomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack. ‘The doll... Right! ' Naomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?" "No." Jack bluntly answered. Jack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away. ‘But Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bull’s eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily. Robin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?" Snap! Jack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent! Jack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady." Naomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Then Jack's low voice rang out above her head. "If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!" Immediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack. ‘Mister Daddy knows what I’m up to?' Their eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her. "You're not good enough." "You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..." "Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468 "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit." Robin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle. "I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it." "Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat. For a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people. "Thank you all." "It’s OK. We are a team!" "Yeah, we're a team!" The four then burst out laughing at the same time. Not far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two! "The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise. Jack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the team‘’s score wo
Chapter 467Snap-- Just after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can. Naomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses. Naomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic. Sean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave. "Miss Naomi, excuse me." "I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. She walked aimlessly forward like a ghost. ‘I should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?' "Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?" "No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head. "Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit? There's still some time before the shooting test." Saif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range." Half of the trai
Chapter 466 "If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!" "Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder. "It took me only a month to win your mom’s heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!" "OK. I trust you!" Sean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart. As soon as Sean got into Jack’s room, he immediately put on a timid face. "Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..." "What did she say?" "She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside. Jack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes. Sean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?" "Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation. "Don't let her know it's me." "Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered. "I just want her to be happy." Jack dropped his eyes, and hi
Chapter 465“Okay.”Naomi’s tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Sean’s heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. It’s doomed!”"Don’t talk nonsense!”Professor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!” "How can that be? Didn't you see Miss Naomi's reaction?” Sean retorted.However, Professor Gregory answered like an experienced man, "Haven't you ever heard that one can make the best out of a bad situation?”......Naomi went back to the dormitory and closed her eyes after lying on the be
