Chapter 71


    Chapter 71 At Tarragon Bay. “Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!” On the other end of the phone, Susan asked


    worriedly, “Are you okay, Naomi?” “I‘m fine. Maybe my enemies are cursing me or something,” Naomi


    replied as she pulled up the nket and snuggled into the couch. She held her phone in one hand and


    herptop in the other. On the coffee table next to her was a bowl of unfinished instant noodles. It was


    quite a pathetic


    She suddenly found herself missing Mister Daddy’s cooking. Naomi shook her head violently the second


    that thought entered her mind and pped her cheeks to wake herself up. Jack mmed the door in her


    face and left without so much as an apology after saying those horrible things to her the day before.


    Someone like that was not worth mulling over! Susan‘s anxious voice came through the phone once


    again. “Speaking of enemies, I‘m sure rissa is thinking of ways to get back at you after what you did


    today!”


    –


    smirked, “I already have an idea about what she‘s nning.”


    “Are you thinking of beating her at her own game?” Naomi tilted her head and smiled. “You know me so


    well.” She stared at the screen in front of her, which disyed the Greens‘ recent stock prices. “By the


    way, what‘s the progress on that thing we talked about before?” Naomi added as her tone turned serious.


    It was a crucial part of her n. “Don‘t worry, we got the deal. Your dad will never find out that Shaw


    Pharmaceuticals belongs to you!” “Perfect!” Naomi beamed. She had put together a few forms and


    asked Susan to work with a few pharmaceutical factories to develop them. She had nned to slowly


    expand and go against the Greens, but she did not expect the performance of her family‘spany to


    be so poor that she could surpass them in a matter of days.


    Susan replied, “The only thing is that we‘ve used up all of the start–up capital...” Naomi responded


    immediately, “Don‘t worry, I‘ll handle the money. Actually, that will be settled anytime now!” “What are you


    nning to do?”


    “Just wait and see.” Naomi tapped away at herptop keyboard and sent Nine a message. [Nine, I‘ll only


    be picking up orders of a million dors and above from now on.] Naomi was about to respond to


    Susan‘s question when her phone suddenly started vibrating, signaling that another phone call was


    coming in.


    It was her father.


    “Sorry, Susan. The person with the money just got here. I‘ll have to hang up now,” Naomi said. “Alright,


    I‘ll talk to youter,” Susan replied. Naomi ended the call with her friend and answered Scott’s call. “What


    do you want?” “Come home for a bit tomorrow. There‘s something I need you to do.” His tone was


    obnoxiously demanding as if Naomi was less than one of their servants. “Say whatever you need to say


    on the phone!” Naomi responded coldly as she raised her brows. She no longer had a reason to show


    any respect to her scumbag of a father! “How dare you speak to me that way? Where are your


    manners?” Scott yelled furiously. Naomi nced at the calendar on the coffee table, then asked, “Do you


    know what day it is today?” “What?” Scott snapped in a confused tone, then continued, “You have no


    shame! How could you embarrass her in front of all of those people? She was even forced to drop out of


    school! Apologize to her immediately!” “Heh...” Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
