"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

    Jack stopped smiling and casually reminded her about the leftovers."I'll go and have a look." Naomi headed to the kitchen immediately. She remembered the suit and turned back to him."That suit suits you a lot.""I'll think about it."Jack acted like he did not like the suit and responded indifferently. Then, he went back to his room.Naomi walked to the kitchen to look for food. When she saw the red box on the dining table, she screamed excitedly."Ah!!! It’s Creek's Barbecue! Creek's Barbecue!"Naomi did not expect the so-called leftovers to be from Creek's Barbecue! The takeaway barbecue was still hot!She had been craving barbecue for a long time!Jack could hear the little girl’s excited scream from his room. He did not have to look. He could imagine her excitement. "Isn’t it just barbecue? Does she have to be this excited?"Jack picked up the suit and looked at it with disdain.Bang! Someone opened the bedroom door. In the next second, Naomi came running into his ar

    Naomi's eyes widened in shock. Did she just—In that instant, Jack was transformed. It was as if she were looking at him through a filter. Somehow, he looked extraordinarily handsome and charming!Was it an illusion? Why was her heart beating so wildly?"What's wrong?"Jack saw Naomi stiffen suddenly and wanted to approach her. Then, Naomi suddenly returned to her senses and pushed his hand away."It's nothing! Don't touch my head so casually!"Naomi's voice was high-pitched with panic. She quickly looked away and made herself appear busy, putting ingredients on the hotplate. Jack remained unbothered and retracted his hand. He rested his arm on the back of Naomi’s chair. He touched his forehead with his other hand as he watched Naomi busy herself with the hotpot.He could not understand his earlier actions. Why had he suddenly reached for her? With her back facing Jack, Naomi took a few deep breaths. When she looked at him, his usual poker face was back in place. It must h

    He strode over to Naomi and took his phone back with a fierce look."Why did you answer my call? Who allowed you to do that?""I didn’t do it on purpose. I wanted to take the phone to you, but I had accidentally—"Naomi quickly tried to explain herself but Jack did not let her finish. He took his phone and went back to his room. Bang!He slammed the door shut. All the warmth in the house turned cold. She stopped cooking the food. All that was left was cold food and cold hearts. "Stupid Daddy! He’s so unreasonable!"Naomi felt frustrated. She could not get rid of her frustration.Jack came out of his room an hour later. He saw Naomi cleaning up in the kitchen.She had her back against him, and she looked lonely and pitiful. Jack furrowed his brow. Earlier the spicy food had made him uncomfortable and he had lost his temper He ended up speaking harshly to her.He took a step into the kitchen, but then he turned around and left the house.

You have always been my best friend!"Naomi beamed and behaved like a spoilt child with Susan."Let’s not talk about this anymore. You shone at last night's event, and Clarissa will not forgive you for that. You’ll have to do your best!""Of course! Just wait and see!"Naomi smiled.All this while she had been on the defensive when it came to Clarissa and the rest of them. She had gone with the flow and had always defended herself against their schemes. Now, it was finally the time to go on the offensiveNaomi ended the call with Susan. After hanging up, she caught sight of a plush toy from the corner of her periphery. It immediately reminded her of Jack.She pouted.

    Naomi had chased her out of the hotel and had embarrassed her at yesterday's event. She would make Naomi pay for what she had done. Class A was her turf. She had to make Naomi leave class A in tears! "Enough," Naomi said and threw her bag on the desk.Bam—! The sudden loud noise scared the group of people into silence."Seems like all of you have forgotten who I am—"Naomi pinched her eyebrows impatiently. She grew impatient with their childish ways of picking a fight. They were too naive!"Let’s make this quick. Will you all be coming at me one by one or together?"Naomi tilted her head and cracked her knuckles. The sound of her cracking knuckles sounded especially terrifying.She spoke slowly as she advanced toward them. She deliberately made herself look vicious. The students arrogance was quickly replaced. The looks on their faces changed. They were all intimidated by her menacing aura. As they recalled Naomi's 'glorious deeds' in school, they all made way for Naomi t

    At the same time, Naomi noticed that someone was sneaking a glance at her. She spun around with her hand resting upon her cheek. She leveled an intent stare at Clarissa and said, "Clarissa, I heard that you are only concerned with your studies. You should study hard for your upcoming entrance exam in the afternoon later, okay?""Of… Of course!"Clarissa met Naomi's eyes. She was so terrified that she stuttered.The representatives from the Royal Medical School would be coming to Saint Joseph's High School this afternoon to hold a special entrance exam session. She could completely trample Naomi under her feet as long as she passed the exam!'Naomi, you'll soon be crying!'As she held that thought, she smiled viciously.The school bell finally rang. Johnson left a bottle of milk on her table in a show of support and encouragement. "Clarissa, do your best later!""Thank you, John."Clarissa purposely gave Johnson a really sweet smile. The latter was pleased and left happily.

    "Clarissa, congratulations. You’ve passed the entrance exam with flying colors. You’ve also received most of our approval. You’ll soon become—""Wait a moment!"A clear and strong voice came from the audience, interrupting the Vice-Chancellor's speech. Naomi stood up. "I have some questions regarding the thesis earlier," she asked with determination. Clarissa saw Naomi stand, and her smile immediately stiffened. No! She must not let Naomi ruin her success!Clarissa shot Johnson a helpless look, and Johnson immediately reprimanded Naomi. "This is the exam hall. Please don’t cause any trouble here! Please leave now!""I would like to ask Clarissa several questions. Is that not possible? Or perhaps, Clarissa, are you unable to answer any questions put to you?"Naomi glanced at Johnson lightly and pressed on."Ha! You don't deserve to ask any questions! Somebody, send her out now!"Johnson sneered and shouted loudly, misusing his rights as the class president."Please wait!"A

"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

"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.

    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

    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.
