"Have you prepared your clothes for the banquet?"

"Clothes?" Naomi took a sharp breath. She had completely forgotten about it after busying herself with her thesis the entire day.

"Just from your tone, I can tell you didn't prepare anything! However, someone asked me to prepare a present for you," Susan said mysteriously on the phone.

"A present? From who?" Naomi thought about it in detail. Other than Susan, she had already cut off contact with the rest of them.

All that was left were scumbags like Gary and Scott, it was already great if they weren't trying to harm her.

Who else would give her any presents?

"It's a secret, you'll know when you're here. I'll have the driver pick you up!"

Before Naomi could ask any more questions, Susan hung up the phone…

At eight that night, in West City Hotel, a long red carpet extended from the entrance of the hotel to the hall.

Both sides of the carpet were filled with media members and cameramen. They fought against each other as the flash

    On the second-floor balcony, Jack stood by the railing and happened to see that scene."Sir, Miss Naomi seems to be getting bullied, should we help her out?"Sean stood by his side, and could not help but look over Jack when he saw Naomi being pitifully surrounded by a good number of women.The man pursed his lips slightly as he recalled what Naomi had said the day before. His expression darkened, 'We're not really husband and wife, why do you care?'"Sir?" Sean tried to ask him again.Jack coldly averted his gaze, and his tone sounded aloof, "Doesn't she always do whatever she wants? Who can control her?""Oh…" Sean helplessly shut his mouth as he looked at Naomi with worry.All those women were powerful socialites within Gin City, could Naomi really handle them?"Who said my dress is cheap?" Naomi crossed her arms around her chest as she glanced at everyone."Hmph! Naomi, you really don't have any common sense. Do you think buying a gown that looks like it's from a famous br

    "Miss Spence, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not speaking about you. We’re just commenting on my sister’s skirt."Clarissa was surprised and happy to see Lucy Spence. She quickly explained to Lucy.She had deliberately worn a skirt that was famously designed by Lucy just to gain Lucy's favor.Lucy's reaction was far from what Clarissa had expected it to be. She had simply ignored Clarissa and walked to Naomi."I designed this skirt. It's a limited edition piece, and this is the only piece available in the entire world!""Wha… What? You designed this skirt?!"Sherry Frank was so frightened that her lips turned white. Clarissa’s smile stiffened too. How could that be?Naomi was just a broke b*tch with no money nor connections. How did she get the money to get and wear the clothes that Lucy designed?!"Looks like you all don't really like my designs. Well, I won't force you to stay. You may leave!"Lucy spoke coldly. She had shocked Sherry and the group of girls. They were all dumbf

    Lucy was smart and observant. She noticed the changes in their expressions and deliberately asked, "Why didn’t you both come together?"Naomi heard Lucy's question and felt confused. She smugly wrinkled her nose."Lucy, I came here as the daughter of the Green family, not Mrs. Hough."'Hmph! You complained about me, and you even refused to bring me here! I also despise my identity as your wife!' Lucy deliberately used a scornful gaze as she swept past him. As she expected, Daddy's face grew darker."Ah… Why don’t we get a seat first?"Lucy saw the couple was still angry with each other. She quickly changed the topic and distracted them.The crowd gradually entered the hall from behind."Clarissa! I told you to come here to socialize with influential people. I didn’t ask you to be an embarrassment!"Scott had heard of the earlier incident and reprimanded Clarissa in displeasure."Dear, it was all Naomi’s fault! Why did you allow her to join the event? She embarrassed Clarissa

    Chaos broke out at Naomi's claim. "Naomi, please stop your nonsense. Dad was the one who bought this necklace. He gave the Ocean Star to my mom as a gift to represent their love."Clarissa knew that her actions would cause Naomi to overreact. She deliberately played the part of the victim and spoke in a pitiful manner. Anyway, no one in the hall would know how they had obtained the Ocean Star. She could just make up any story that she liked.Lilian waited for her chance to provoke Naomi."That’s right. Naomi, your dad had bought the necklace for me. I can do as I like with it, including auctioning it. You should sit down. Don't embarrass your father!"Lilian’s words only added fuel to the fire."Try saying that again!"Naomi gritted her teeth in anger. She hated how Clarissa and Lilian blatantly lied in public."How can you both be so shameless! Do you seriously think you deserve the Ocean Star?""Enough!" Scott stood up with a cold face and shouted loudly at Naomi."I ga

    "How can there be such a shameless person! I feel regret for Rachel! Spence, I’ll leave the rest to you!""Understood, sir," Lucy said and ended the call. Everyone immediately understood."Naomi was telling the truth!""Her dad took his wife’s necklace and gave it to his mistress to please her. He even claimed that the necklace represented their love! What a shameless person!""We must not get involved with people like them!"Scott listened to the harsh voices around him. He felt embarrassed and decided to adopt a ruthless approach to the matter at hand."I didn’t lie! Rachel has passed away. I’ve inherited the necklace. I can give it to whoever I want!""Oh, sorry, but you don’t have that right!"Naomi smiled coldly and shot Scott a look of disgust."It had been clearly written in the agreement that transferred ownership that if my mom were to have passed then the Ocean Star could be reclaimed by Cezanne's president! The necklace is worth millions, and anyone who illegally to

    A middle-aged man at the front row stood up and announced solemnly, "I am the general manager of West City Hotel. I would like to formally announce the three of you will be banned from our hotel. This includes any hotel under our brand.""Now, please leave!"As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, several security guards immediately came over to escort Scott, Clarissa, and Lilian away. There was a burst of teasing laughter from the crowd."Hmph! I’ve never heard of any hotel that chases away their customers. Don’t worry, I will never come to a hotel like yours again!" Scott flushed with great shame. He could only pretend to issue a warning. Then, in embarrassment, he left the venue with Lilian and Clarissa away. Back at the Green family home, Scott pointed at Lilian and Clarissa and scolded them angrily."Both of you are embarrassing! I’ve never felt so much shame in my whole life!"After Scott was done scolding them, he got into the car and left without a care for t

    "He was so good at pretending. Perhaps, this is just his true colors."Naomi’s lips twitched and curved into a bitter smile. She had the best first-hand experience these past ten years. At that moment, Naomi suddenly thought of another possibility. If that was truly Scott's personality then was it possible that he had planned for her mom’s death?"Lucy, I plan to restart the investigation regarding the air accident back then. I don’t believe that my mom really died because of an accident!""I don't believe it either."Lucy’s gaze grew stern. She held Naomi’s shoulder and said, "However, this is not the most important thing right now. You have to focus on getting into college. Live your life the way you want to in the present and not the past. I'll help you with the investigation on what happened back then." "Lucy, thanks. Also…" Naomi paused and removed the Ocean Star from her neck and returned it to Lucy."What are you doing?"Lucy looked at Naomi with a puzzled lo

    "Uh… So you're home…"Naomi snorted and laughed awkwardly. She had acted rashly in the car the other day and made Mister Daddy angry. Since then, she had been trying to find the right time to apologize. However, she was too embarrassed to give him the apology and gift face-to-face. How could she live with that?She originally planned on secretly placing the gift in the bedroom and writing an apology note. Who knew that she would have accidentally bumped into him as soon as she had returned! She really wanted to hit herself for the failure!"Where else would I be?"Jack narrowed his eyes at Naomi and snorted coldly.In order to support her, he had allowed the president of Cezanne to extort an obscene amount of money from him!What a heartless little one! She did not even give him her thanks!"Why are you home so late?"Although Jack was unhappy at heart, he just could not help but ask out of worry for Naomi. "I—"Naomi could hear his worry and lowered her head in guilt. M

"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

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.

    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."

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

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?
