Chapter 77
When the two of them were locked in a stalemate during their confrontation, there was a suddenmotion in the banquet hall.
Following the crowd''s gaze, Naomi saw that Brendan had arrived, with Chloe in a light blue dress apanying him.
"Brendan looks absolutely stunning. Who''s the girl with him?"
"It seems to be his personal secretary. I heard Brendan treats her very well and takes her everywhere with him."
"Personal secretary? I''m quite envious! She gets to spend every day with Brendan."
The girls around them chatted excitedly.
Bailey looked at Naomi. Damn, couldn''t he be a little more discreet? Couldn''t he at least try to protect Naomi''s reputation?Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
About half the people were aware of their rtionship at this gathering today.
Henry''s smile took on a deeper meaning as he said, "Naomi, it''s really not worth it to be with Brendan."
Naomi took two steps forward, reached out and hooked her fingers around Henry''s belt. "Then, let''s see if you dare to challenge him."
Henry''s body tensed up, but in the end, he removed Naomi''s hand. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "If you can''t get over this, I''ll be with you tonight."
Not far away, Brendan immediately spotted Naomi in the crowd.
Seeing herpeting with Henry, with a hint of flirtation between them, Brendan''s eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Chloe, noticing this, gently tugged at him. "Brendan, Naomi is over there."
Brendan retracted his gaze, pretending not to have seen Naomi.
As they mingled with the crowd, they quickly encountered each other. The people chatting with Brendan at the moment were businesspeople from abroad who hade over for an investment promotion by Ashburgh''s government.
"Ms. Goodwin," one of the individuals present greeted Naomi, surprised.
"Mr. Obel," Naomi turned around, smiling as she greeted him.
Seeing her, the middle-aged man raised his hand to beckon her and said, "Ms. Goodwin,e over here. Let me introduce you to a few business owners. They might be potential clients for you"
"Well, thank you in advance, Mr. Obel," Naomi responded.

"Two months ago, my son had a minor incident where he identally encountered an elderly person while driving. The other party''s family had considerable influence, and even my son, who is experienced in handling such situations, felt apprehensive. It was Ms. Goodwin who stepped in to assist.
"As it turned out, my son didn''t actually have an ident with the elderly person-
it was a scam. We owe it all to Ms. Goodwin''s bravery and strategic thinking. You guys can count on her for any legal matters in the future."
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that they would consider hiring her when their legal contracts expired. Naomi expressed her gratitude with a smile.
However, Brendan sneered and had a cold and distant expression. He had always thought that the cases Naomi took on were trivial and did nothing to elevate her personally. To his surprise, Naomi had made numerous connections through these seemingly insignificant cases.
What was crucial was that the people who had dealings with her liked her, especially those from the older m generation Good rtionships with elders were something that Brendan couldn''t ignore. His father was a prime example, who insisted that Brendan married Naomi.
As for the ims that Dennis had helped him, Brendan had never believed it and considered it nonsense.
Aftern introduced Naomi to everyone, he turned back to her with a hint of embarrassment and said, Naomi, my son hasn''t been bothering youtely, has he? That young man ims he''s head over heels in love with you, saying he can''t live without you, so he''s been acting quite foolish.
"If it weren''t for the fact that you''re not interested, I would have seriously contemted arranging a marriage between you two. Given your capabilities, managing mypany in the future wouldn''t be an issue at all."
