Naomi, the prey, almost lost it! She was going to pass out.How did this up backfiring? Taking cases on the dark web was her important source of income. She could not give up this career. She must attend the date.However, if she were to attend the date, Jack would realize that it was her. At the thought of his tactics, Naomi paled.Also…Naomi met with Jack's gaze. She felt as if he seemed to have caught on to something. "Miss Naomi, are you feeling unwell? Why are you trembling?" Sean's concerned voice rang out. It made Naomi jump, and she almost spilled the tea in her hand."No, no, no. I mean, yes, yes. I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll take the afternoon off." Naomi frantically found an excuse and placed the cup of tea down. Then, she turned and fled.The hasty way she ran seemed to have confirmed Jack's suspicions. Even Sean, who did not believe it in the first place, started to believe it."Sir, you might be right." Jack retracted his gaze and smiled mischievously.
Scott smiled sinisterly and took his phone out.In the parking lot, Naomi just hung up on Susan's call when Scott's call came."Come to the Green Corp now!" Scott commanded through the phone."Just say what you need to say through the phone. I'm busy," Naomi replied coldly. She did not have any respect for him."Hmph! You're old enough already. You should learn from your sister and start taking over the family's business. Come to the office in the afternoon. I've things for you to do!"Naomi wanted to laugh. It was a terrible situation that they were going to pass on to her, yet he said it as if he did her a favor! How shameless!Naomi suppressed the condescension in her heart and asked, "What position have you arranged for me?""The president's assistant. Usually, people start from being an intern." Scott said with a sense of superiority as if he took the trouble to do her a favor and wanted her to thank him.Naomi rolled her eyes and rejected him. "Other than being the presid
The relatives of Lilian and confidantes of Scott could not take it any longer. They immediately yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are, kid? Leave now!"Naomi calmly sat in the chair and swept a gaze at all of them with a raised eyebrow. She said coolly, "Didn't the chairman of the board tell you that from today onward, I am the CEO of Green Corp?""What?" The upper-management managers were all bewildered, especially Lilian's younger brother, Kent."Scott, you can't just hand over such a huge enterprise to an outsider!"An outsider? Naomi sneered. Since when has she become the outsider when her family name was Green, and Lilian's brother, Kent, on the other hand, become the insider?"Shut up!" Lilian glared at Kent, and he immediately shut up.Clarissa quickly nudged Scott and he immediately cleared his throat. He started discussing the conditions with Naomi."You can't be the CEO and do nothing. You must show your sincerity!""Tell me about it," Naomi said nonchalantly w
"Yes! We're not leaving! What can you do about that!" The Clarks started yelling along, mimicking Kent's thuggish attitude.Clarissa looked at the chaos happening smugly. She secretly gloated, 'Naomi, let's see how you handle this!'"Heh, what a shame!" Naomi snickered. Her smile did not reach her eyes. She casually swept a glance at everyone there. Her quiet gaze was filled with intimidating oppression.Even Kent felt a little sheepish. He subconsciously took a few steps back. However, he soon realized that he was intimidated by a child, so he started making even louder noises.Naomi furrowed her brows impatiently. She could no longer bother to watch this farcical commotion."Uncle Zach.""Yes!"Uncle Zach sent out an order through the walkie-talkie. Within a minute, more than a dozen police officers rushed in and arrested Kent and the others."Kent Clark! We have received reports of you misappropriating funds, disrupting the order of the financial market, using Green Corp's n
"Don't worry. The game has only just started…"In the meeting room, Clarissa was furious. She tried to provoke Scott."Dad, are you just going to let Naomi fire all of your confidantes! I've been fired! Who is going to stand by your side in the company in the future?"Clarissa gritted her teeth. She never expected that Naomi would fire her. This was so different from what she first expected! "At least, my position as the chairman of the board is still safe." Scott looked indifferent. When he saw his wife's and daughter's terrible expressions, he reluctantly consoled them, "Anyway, the Green Corp is dying. Why don't you take the chance to cash out your shares? "If Naomi could turn this around, I'll take it back once more. I'll let you two be the vice presidents then! Be patient. All we need to do now is wait!""It's all that b*tch's fault! Why didn't she die with her mother in the plane crash back then!" Lilian swore maliciously."I'm going out for a walk. You two go back home
Jack looked up and stare at Sean."I can't make the small and lowly Green Corp bankrupt?""That's not what I meant," Sean immediately explained, "actually, the Green Corp was going to become bankrupt, but I received news that Miss Naomi went to the Green Corp that afternoon and is now the CEO of Green Corp.""She took over the Green Corp?" Jack furrowed his brows a little. Within a few seconds, he already understood what she was doing. No wonder she secretly founded Shaw Pharmaceutical. However, Sean was still worried. "Sir, do you think that Miss Naomi has been duped by Scott to take over a messy situation?""She won't," Jack said firmly. He smiled ambiguously. "The Green Corp in Scott's hands might be a shitty situation, but in her hands…"At that, Sean finally came to his senses."Oh, what you're saying is this was all set up by Miss Naomi?"Jack snickered. He had a look that said, "I'm proud of that child.""She would never let herself lose out on anything." Sean looked
"Okay, go prepare two sets of gowns.""Yes, Sir," Anna replied only after a second. She walked to the door and secretly turned around to measure Jack up. Her gaze was filled with meaning.Jack and Naomi did not attend the party together.The Morgans were second in the Four Great Families of Gin City. Old Mister Morgan paid attention to his ego the most, so his party was a grand affair. Almost the entire wealthy and affluent people of Gin City were there.The party was a star-studded affair.Many wealthy heiresses dressed up to the nines, trying to be the party's most stunning woman, yet they all lost to one person.A Rolls-Joyce slowly entered through the mansion's gate.When the car door opened, a long and fair leg appeared and stepped out of the car first. The silver diamond-encrusted stilettos touched the ground, showing off her tight figure and long legs. She was sexy and attractive.Going further up, her red dress swayed in the breeze. She was dazzling.Her deep-set eyes
"I don't hate women," Robin said with a smile. Then, he handed the golden hairpin to Naomi. "Ah... sorry, I'm not talking about you."Naomi snapped back to her senses, only to find Robin beside her.A blast of classical dance music sounded, and the people around them stepped onto the dance floor in pairs."Naomi, do I have the honor to invite you to dance the first dance tonight?"Robin smiled softly and put his hand towards the gentleman Naomi,Under the crystal lamp, the boy in a suit looks like the dazzling prince in the comics. "I…" Naomi frowned in embarrassment, subconsciously tilted her head, and looked in Jack's direction."Jack, can you accompany me to this dance? Just give me some face." Jeanne took the initiative to reach out and used a sweet voice to act coquettish with Jack.Old Mister Morgan also immediately assisted. "Jack, Jeanne just came back from abroad, so please take care of her."Jack glanced down at Jeanne's gloved hand, with disgust still flashing in h
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
