"Please have a seat, Ms. Goodwin." Tom gestured for Naomi before turning to the maid. "Get some tea ready for Ms. Goodwin."
Naomi sat down calmly, and the maid soon served her some tea. "Here''s your tea, Ms. Goodwin."
Meanwhile, Tom lit a cigar, letting the smoke fill the room. Despite Naomi''s frown, he didn''t put it out.
He shed her a strained smile. "You''re quite responsible when ites to work, aren''t you, Ms. Goodwin?"
Naomi took a sip of tea and smiled. ''Do you have a case for me, Mr. Hunter?"
Tom''s smile faded, and he tapped the cigar ash. "How much does awyer earn?"
Naomi shrugged. "Just enough to get by."
At her words, Tom''s expression shifted instantly. He extinguished the cigar in the ashtray and stared fixedly at her.
"Just enough to get by, yet you refused when I offered you eight million dors?"
Tom''s sudden burst of anger didn''t faze Naomi.

"But with just a few words, you managed to win half of my savings for that bitch, Annie! I''ve supported her for 30 years already!"
At the thought of his financial losses, the veins on Tom''s neck bulged.
He hadn''t slept well these past few days, agonizing over the wealth he lost due to the divorce.
Seeing Tom''s enraged state, Naomi leaned forward and calmly set down her teacup.
"Mr. Hunter, it''s all stated in thew/I''m sure I don''t need to exin anything to you."
Women were known to make sacrifices for their families, and they were also the reason sessful men could focus on their careers.
Tom knew that better than anyone. But his selfishness and narcissism had urged him to ignore the sacrifices Annie had made for him.
He felt entitled to Annie''s gratitude since he was the breadwinner and believed she shouldn''t demand money after spending his hard-earned money.
