Uncle Zach tried to console Naomi."It's pretty pointless."Naomi squinted her eyes and calmed down. If the other person dared to bail Scott out, they must have used a fake identity."Scott won't stay hidden. The person that bailed him out must be using him for a huge scheme!"Naomi had many enemies, and she could not narrow her range at that moment. However, she immediately thought of a possibility."Uncle Zach, we're about to sign the tactical partnership in two days. This is an important matter. We can't have any problems. Arrange for a small team to look after this matter and report to me daily!"Uncle Zach promised and thumped his chest, "Yes! Whoever dares to spoil this, I'll fight to the death with him!""No! Nothing is more important than life!" Naomi quickly corrected him."Okay, go back to the factory."Naomi still had to crack the secrets of the photo."Yes!"When they reached the factory office, Uncle Zach got busy forming a group meeting. Naomi stayed back to de
"What is it? Stop beating around the bush and tell me already, please?" Naomi urged Robin, turning his expression serious."Then, tell me why you're investigating this license plate.""I…"Naomi pursed her lips and furrowed her brows.After a while, she finally made up her mind. After all, Robin had saved her life previously. They were partners for many years. Robin would naturally not take advantage of her."I'll tell you. Do you remember the incident where I mistook you for someone? I'm looking for someone who saved my life when I was young. This license plate is my only clue. I really want to meet him again. I want to know if he is doing well or not…"At that, Naomi's eyes were filled with determination. Even if she had to travel to the ends of the world, she had to find Mister Long Legs.Robin sounded a little envious and jealous. "I see. I saved your life previously too. Why does he get preferential treatment?""What nonsense are you talking about? Do I not treat you well?
Bang! In the nick of time, a gunshot rang out! The vicious, scarred man's body was punctured. He fell to the ground with a shocked expression on his face.The instant he fell, Jack's expressionless face appeared behind him, with the gun raised in his hand."How dangerous," Philip said fearfully. He gave Jack a thumbs up."Thank you."At that moment, the gunshots stopped. Sean, Daniel, and the others brought men to gather around Jack."Sir, everything has been settled!""What a relief! We've ended Xander's smuggling warehouse. It's almost like cutting an arm off!" Daniel exclaimed with a chuckle."Don't get smug too early."Jack, who was in the middle of everyone, slightly furrowed his brows. He still looked cold and calm.Philip, next to him, analyzed the situation thoughtfully. "Xander sure is ruthless. These people have no direct contact with him!""What an old sly fox!" Daniel scoffed.Jack looked up with a cold gaze. Then, he calmly commanded, "Clean it up!""Yes, sir
"Bloody hell…"Naomi felt terrible. She quickly picked up the phone. Then, after blowing it dry with a hairdryer and wiping it with a towel, she tried to turn it on.However, Naomi finally gave up after trying to turn it on more than ten times. She found a phone repair kit from the toolbox and opened her phone up.Sure enough, the motherboard had short-circuited. At a certain phone repair shop, the legendary owner shrugged helplessly."Miss, your phone has already gone out of production. On top of that, Mericah has been crushing our phone industry. You can't get this motherboard or any spare parts in this country.""You don't have any stock either?"Naomi raised her eyebrow in surprise. Her phone had many important things saved on it. She could not just give it up just like that."Even the phone manufacturers don't have any stock unless you buy it from abroad.""Okay."Naomi sighed. She decided to buy a new phone and reinstall all her applications. All her previous messages
"Yes, but the casting director has to agree to it.""I agree!" The casting director said firmly. Naomi did not know when the casting director appeared behind her.Naomi was speechless. Were they that casual in filming things?Half an hour later, Naomi was in a red-colored period costume dress. Her hair was made up in a simple heroine style. She had a sword with her.A cold and arrogant swordswoman came to life in front of everyone.Naomi's clear eyes casually swept across the cameras. It had murderous intent in them! The director behind the monitor shuddered in fear and said to the casting director with trepidation, "Where did you find this babe? This shot is amazing!""Susan's friend. It's a pity that only a few fighting shots would be used."The casting director sighed pitifully."Three, two, one, action!" The director ordered.Naomi immediately followed what the action choreographer taught her a moment ago. She quickly whipped out her sword. Her movement was swift and flu
Robin, who was pushing and refusing his childhood friend, turned around and saw Naomi. He was so shocked that his whole body froze."It's you?!""Yes, I'm just as shocked as you are."The corners of Naomi's mouth twitched.Robin's friend did not know what had happened. He smacked Robin's shoulder with a smirk and said softly, "I say… The actress who plays the bride is super beautiful, but you don't lose to her… Are you still thinking of rejecting me?"Robin looked at Naomi momentarily. Then, he raised his hand and pushed his obstructive friend away. However, when Robin's friend was about to leave, he quickly stole a photo of them."Such an attractive guy and girl! If I don't take a picture and share this, it'll be such a waste…"He sent the photo quickly to their group of classmates and left with satisfaction."I was supposed to come to check out the class, but I can't believe they arranged for me to save the scene."Robin naturally took a water bottle on his table in the dr
"Jack, I missed you so much!"The corner of Jack's mouth fell. However, upon looking at Queenie's sensible yet cute face, he softened his expression."Hey, if you're coming back early, why didn't you tell me?"Daniel quipped intentionally, "Hey, big boss. Queenie wants to give you a surprise. You're the one she has in her heart…""Jack, are you happy to see me?"Queenie raised her head flirtatiously and sweetly. She purposely let her fringe fall to the side and exposed the wound on her forehead.Jack saw the wound and looked concerned immediately. "What happened there?"Seeing Jack's concerned expression, Queenie smiled even further and pretended to clumsily touch her head."Don't worry. It's just a little accident…""Accident?" Jack frowned."Sean, head to the hospital!"Queenie snickered secretly in her heart and immediately put on a smart front. She blocked Jack's path."There's no need! I've already treated it. Don't worry…""Then, where is your luggage? Pass it to Sea
"Queenie! What are you doing? Hurry up and follow along," Sean retorted from a near distance."Oh! I'm coming!"Queenie's expression quickly changed to one that was cute and obedient. Finally, she caught up with the group.Jack left the airport in large strides. His eyes were searching around intently.How can that heartless girl not come to look for him?"Boss! Look!"Daniel yelled out all of a sudden and passed the phone to Jack.Jack took the phone and saw a picture of two people dressed in red with full makeup. His eyes turned cold."Boss, this photo has been circulating in the classmates' group. This Naomi is just… crossing the line! How dare she act in the marriage drama with your nephew?! She must've done it on purpose. Divorce her as soon as possible!"Daniel was really seizing the opportunity to mock and criticize Naomi."Ah…"The man's face turned dark, almost with murderous intent."Sean, go to the crew!Jack's lips were thin, and every word he spat was cold."
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
