Naomi rushed to the factory with doubts. When she entered the parlor, she saw a spirited-looking older man with white hair."I'm guessing that you must be the legendary Senior Stone! I'm sorry for making you wait so long!" Naomi apologized profusely. The old man smiled and waved his hand. He looked benevolent."It's fine, it's fine! You're so young, yet you oversee such a huge pharmaceutical company. It's normal.""Thank you for understanding, Senior Stone."Naomi would never have thought that the legendary doctor did not have an ego. On the contrary, he took the initiative to help her with her excuse. As a result, Naomi felt much more relaxed."I'm to know why you'd come to my small factory, Senior Stone?" Naomi asked skeptically.Although she was at Gin City and she had made a name for Shaw Pharmaceuticals, there was still a gap between them and a legendary person like Gerald.In Hostroy, where traditional medicine was dying, not only did Senior Stone become one of the grea
"If that's the case, it's a deal. I'll bring the contract over then. I hope that we'll have a pleasant cooperation!""We will!"Naomi could not help but smile. If the deal was successful, she could successfully hit the nationwide market!Naomi and Senior Stone exchanged a few medical anecdotes until sunset before sending him off.At the entrance, Senior Stone said, "Miss Green, I hope to see you again the next time!""Have a safe journey, Senior Stone!"Sending him off, Naomi took a deep breath and looked up at the Langdon sign. Her heart was beating wildly.'Mother, I'm sure you're watching from heaven. I will make Langdon flourish!'Behind Naomi, a person secretly hid under the tree, sneakily sending a message.[Miss Clarissa, I have a piece of great news…]After Senior Stone left, Naomi returned to the office. She saw Susan sighing at the computer upon entering."What's going on, Susan?""It's your greedy father."Susan turned the screen over and nudged Naomi with her c
The automated response came from the phonephone."Perhaps Colin can't answer the call right now."Although the call did not go through, Naomi did not think much about that. After all, Colin had always been reliable."Maybe. I'll call him again later."Uncle Zach did not suspect him too. Everyone knew the contribution that Colin brought to the table."Then, so be it. We have a delivery in the next few days. Everyone in the management needs to be a little careful. I'll fetch Susan before going to the storage to check," Naomi said while picking up the car keys."Okay. I'll go look at the parking lot and call him again later. This kid…"Uncle Zach grumbled while heading out.…At the same time, under the old exhaust fan, the sunlight shone on the dust in the air in an abandoned storage on the outskirts of Gin City. There was a pungent smell.On the rusted table, a phone rang suddenly. Clarissa picked it up and hung up, and rejected the call.She glanced at Sherry, who was beaten
Clarissa picked up the phone and passed it to Colin."I'm sure you know what to say, right?" Colin glared at Clarissa. He was forced to obey her. The call was from Naomi."Colin, why aren't you back yet? Was there trouble in purchasing raw materials?"Colin clenched his phone tightly and stuttered sheepishly. "N-No. Everything's fine! I only have a tummy ache. I'll be back soon.""Okay, be safe on the road."Collin hummed and hung up immediately. He was afraid that he might accidentally let it slip. "You've done well. Mr. Lane. These raw materials must go to Green Corp's factory. It's been a pleasure working with you!" Clarissa smiled sinisterly. She even reached her hand out to Colin."B*tch! Even if you win this time, Naomi will surely overcome this!" Colin coldly slapped her hand away."Overcome?"Clarissa squinted her eyes dangerously. She held her phone behind her back. The screen showed a message from someone."Do you think I only have one plan? I've prepared multipl
"No, I'm not sick. I'm just a little worried about you."On the other end of the phone, Robin's warm and jade-like voice came over, with the power to heal people's hearts."Worried about me?"Naomi raised her eyebrows in surprise, grabbed a pillow, and held it in her arms, changing into a comfortable position."Yeah, I heard from Uncle Zach that Susan joined the group for filming. You were so busy today that you worked late. I'm a little worried. Are you home yet? "Hearing Robin's words of concern, Naomi felt warmth in her heart and replied softly, "I'm home. Don't worry about me. This amount of work is trivial to me.""You must pay attention to work-life balance, oh..."Robin suddenly groaned. Naomi immediately sat upright as she frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Did the wound open? Why don't I come over?"She was about to roll over and get out of bed as she spoke."No, it just hurts a little bit. It's so late. You just be good and stay home."In the ward.Hearing N
Naomi also pretended that nothing happened and continued to eat. As soon as she tasted the spring rolls, she shouted in surprise. "What?""What's wrong? Is the food bad?" Robin immediately asked with concern."No, the taste of this spring roll... It's so familiar! It's exactly the same as what Aunt Hough made!"Naomi blurted out subconsciously, and Robin's face immediately flashed with an unnatural look.He was careless!"Naomi, if I have something I can't tell you, would you be angry?"Robin's hand on the table quietly clenched into a fist, looking at Naomi nervously while asking."I won't be angry. It's your freedom to tell or not to tell your own secrets, isn't it?" Naomi put down her cutlery and answered seriously.At that moment, she thought of Stinky Daddy. Everyone had secrets. Her relationship with Stinky Daddy was not that close. Stinky Daddy did not say anything, but she was not in any position to be angry.Besides, they would be strangers again after the contract
Thinking of that, Naomi immediately accelerated in the direction of the Hough Mansion.At the entrance of Hough Mansion, she got out of the car and found a group of bodyguards standing outside! "What's going on?" Naomi got out of the car, strode into the house, and met Sean. Sean stood in the hall, looking extremely embarrassed."Sean? Why are you—""Miss Naomi!" Sean's face was full of anxiety, and he staggered to Naomi."You're back! Sir was seriously injured! Come with me quick!" As Sean spoke, he turned to lead Naomi upstairs.He took a few steps, but he felt that there was no movement behind him.When Sean turned around, he found Naomi standing there, with a low face that was indifferent and alienated. "Miss Naomi, you...""Sean, do you think it's fun to pull the same trick for the second time?" Naomi raised her eyes coldly, and her tone was extremely cold."No, Miss Naomi! This time it's true… He has—""Enough! I won't be fooled again!" Naomi interrupted Sean rudely.
Naomi's pupils darted violently. In the basin was... The suit she gave to Stinky Daddy!It just so happened that Sean hurried past Naomi. She stopped him and asked, "Stinky Daddy really had an accident?!""Can't you see it yourself? Miss Naomi, since you're not going to save him, I'm going to find a doctor who will!"Sean glanced at Naomi in disgust and pushed her away rudely.Naomi's heart trembled violently, looking at the basin full of blood, her hands gradually clenched.The next second, she rushed towards Jack's bedroom.'Stinky Daddy, I'll trust you this time! If you lie to me again, you'll die!' Boom!Naomi threw open the door, and she was stunned by the scene inside the room.The man wore an oxygen mask and lay dying on the bed. Blood came out from the lining of the newly changed clothes and quickly turned red.It was as if his life was hanging by a thread!Naomi's eyes turned red in a second."Mister Daddy! How could this happen?!""Stinky girl! Don't mess aroun
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
