Chapter 78
Anger washed over Jack‘s face upon hearing Naomi‘s words. The things he wanted to say turned into a
scornful scolding.
“Weren‘t you invincible? Why did I have to be responsible for cleaning up your mess? You‘re an
embarrassment to the Hough family!” Naomi had initially felt a sense of gratitude towards Jack, but his
mocking tone pushed her over the edge. “I do apologize for constantly letting the Houghs down. You‘re
better off divorcing me and finding yourself a deserving wife!” “Great! That‘s just perfect!” Jack replied
with a smirk that did not quite reach his eyes.
Every word he said was cold enough to freeze someone solid!
Those were not the words he wanted to hear from her after a long, sleepless night,
“Sir! The doctor has something urgent to discuss with you!”
At that moment, Sean suddenly burst into the room with a frantic expression on his face, effectively
breaking the tense atmosphere between the couple.
Jack got up, nced coldly at Naomi, then stomped out of the room
Sean trailed closely behind him and let out a long sigh
Once the room door closed behind them, Naomi let out a long sigh of relief herself
Did Mister Long Legs save her, or was it Jack?
She began to feel confused.
Naomi tried her best to recall the events of the night before, but she could not remember anything apart
from the young man with the umbre, nor could she recall it Jack was even at the scene.
Her phone, which was wrecked beyond recognition, suddenly started ringing. It was Susan,
“Hello? Susan?” “My god! You finally answered! I was worried to death! Where are you right now? I‘m
coming over!”
“I‘m resting at the hospital. It‘s nothing serious. It‘ste, so you don‘t have toe.”
Susan‘s caring words made Naomi feel a sense of warmth. It felt amazing to finally have someone dote
on her and ask how she felt after all she had gone through. “What happened? What exactly did you get
yourself into?” “This was all rissa‘s doing. I never expected her to go to these lengths.”
Naomi‘s eyes turned cold as she exined everything that happened that day to Susan. “I‘ll remember
what she did to me, Susan. I‘ll send a recording to youter. Hold on to this evidence for me so I can use
itter on!”
Back at the warehouse, Naomi had held a knife to the red–headed man‘s neck. He confessed everything
while she recorded it on her phone.
She would make rissa pay tenfold for everything that happened that day!
“Alright! Leave the rest to me. Thank goodness you‘re alright!” Susan said with relief. Naomi hesitated
but ended up telling Susan about the young man anyway. “Susan, I think I saw that boy. Every time I‘m in
danger, he just appears out of nowhere and saves me!” “Really?”
“Of course! I‘d recognize him even if he turned to ash!” “Could you have been hallucinating under all of
that stress? Didn‘t you say you were out of it? “Susan asked with a hint of suspicion in her voice.
“Besides, if what you‘re saying is true, he must have taken really good care of himself! How could he still
look so young ten yearster?”

“Well...”
Naomi was speechless. She almost got thrown off by Susan. “I don‘t think I imagined things. Also, I have
a feeling that I‘ll be seeing him again very soon!” “I hope so. It‘s a good thing Jack got there in time.
Otherwise, I can‘t imagine what would have happened!” Naomi raised her brows. “Jack?” “Didn‘t you
know? I couldn‘t reach you, so I called Jack. When he heard that you were missing, he used all of his
connections to find out where you were. How else could he have found you so
soon?”
“He was the one who found me?”
Naomi suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her heart.
“Of course it was him. You have no idea how worried he was. If you hadn‘t beenining about him
this whole time, I would have suspected that he liked you!”
“He was worried?” Naomi‘s eyes widened in shock, and she felt a tingle at a tiny corner of her heart.
