Malcolm may not have to watch the surveince footage, but he had to know what happened.
“It’s…” After knowing that there were surveince cameras, Naomi did not dare to liepletely. Thus,
she told him a half–truth. “I heard everyone praising you two for being a good match, which made me
feel a little sad…”
Her eyes reddened just in time. She added, “So, I couldn’t help but show her the ring when I saw her
sitting alone by the pool. I was just trying to prove that I’m the one you love the most. I’m sorry,
Malcolm. I was so sad and out of my mind at that time. Don’t get angry at me. I won’t do it again…”
After all, Malcolm suspected her. She could no longer maintain her naive. and innocent image, so she
thought it would be better to directly show her resentment and anxiety.
Naomi decided to use reverse psychology and voluntarily admitted her mistake.
As long as her schemes were merely a sign of insecurity in his eyes, het would be more considerate
about her feelings when doing anything in the future.
Meanwhile, Malcolm looked at her coldly.
“I’ve told you that I’ll ask Tabitha to get a DNA test in four months. When the truth is exposed, I’ll give
you everything that you should have,” he said.
“I know, Malcolm.” Naomi cried and threw herself into his arms. She added, “Maybe it’s because I’m
pregnant. I’ve been a little sensitive. recently, and I’m prone to feeling insecure. Please don’t get angry
at me, okay?”
Malcolm did not like the excessively strong smell of perfume on her body,

so he pushed her away discreetly and said, “Don’t overthink it anymore. and rest here. I’ll ask Saul to
drive you home.”
The meaning couldn’t be any more obvious. After what had happened just now, Malcolm did not want
her to show up at the g anymore, so as not to avoid shing with Tabitha again.
A hint of astonishment shed across Naomi’s eyes. She looked as if she almost lost control.
She wondered, ‘Did Malcolm tell me to avoid Tabitha?”
“But-” she started.
She dressed up meticulously that day so that she could appear among the people of the upper–ss
society.
“Plus, you’re pregnant. Don’t wear such heavy makeup in the future,” he interrupted.
Malcolm’s gaze seemed to darken when he added, “It’s not good for the baby.”
Naomi waspletely caught off guard by Malcolm’s stern attitude, so she did not dare to object
anymore. She replied obediently and aggrievedly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Malcolm turned and left the lounge.
Meanwhile, Naomi’s face immediately soured and gradually contorted until it looked hideous.
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Naomi thought it was Malcolm who returned, so she quickly adjusted her facial expression and opened
the door with a smile.
Standing at the door was a tall man dressed in a ck suit. His figure was

perfectly outlined by the suit’s simple tailoring.
It was not Malcolm.
Then, Naomi’s gaze changed all of a sudden. “You?”
The man did not respond and walked straight in.
Naomi looked around outside the door before closing it carefully.
“Why are you here, Mr. Sinir?” she asked.
The man was Emmanuel Sinir. He was Malcolm’s older cousin.
Emmanuel, who was ric’s grandson, had always been a sensitive topic in upper–ss society.
Before ric took over the Sinir family, his daughter, Lori Sinir, married a gambler and soon
gave birth to Emmanuel. They had debts everywhere and lived a very difficult life.
One time, when they were fighting with a debt collector, Emmanuel’s little finger was chopped off. Thus,
after Lori’s divorce, Emmanuel took the initiative to change his family name to hers and cut ties with
his biological father.
After ric became powerful, Emmanuel grew up as well. Thus, the former arranged for Emmanuel to
have a position in thepany. However, Emmanuel dealt with some of the non–important businesses
left by the previous generation that had iplete ounts.
Moreover, Emmanuel also acted as the Sinir family’s secret weapon. In crucial times, he could be
pushed forward to take the me.
Since he had an awkward position in Sinir Group, the employees called him “Emmanuel” to
distinguish him from Malcolm.

Seeing Naomi’s nervous face, Emmanuel smiled gently and asked. “What’s

the matter? Did I scare you?”
Emmanuel was only two years older than Malcolm and came off as charming and capable.
Furthermore, the public thought he was a good- tempered man, but Naomi knew how gloomy and
cunning he was.
Naomi was most afraid of him when he smiled. She whispered, “Saul will be here soon.”
As Emmanuel was quite capable at work, ric gradually started to value him. Therefore, he was able
to asionally attend some events. However, he was far from qualified to attend the Crescendo G
that night.
Thus, if Saul bumped into him, it would be a bad thing.
“Oh? It seems like you’re not that stupid,” he said.
After saying that, Emmanuel’s pleasant expression suddenly turned grim. He added, “Then, what were
you doing by the pool?”
Naomi felt a chill running down her spine and cautiously exined, “I just followed your instruction to
ruin their rtionship, Mr. Sinir. Just now, Malcolm fought with Tabitha about this-”
“You know the exact reason for what you did just now!” he eximed.
Then, Emmanuel sneered disdainfully. His voice was so sinister, it was as if he crawled out of hell.
He added, “Stop having that twisted and jealous mindset. If you ruin my n, get ready to bear the
consequences yourself.“.
Naomi was so scared that she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry. I won’t dare to do it again.”
Naomi was deathly afraid of Emmanuel. He had her biggest secret in hist hands, and only that terrifying
man could help her clear all obstacles. before she could be wealthy.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Naomi looked out through the peephole and realized it was Saul.
“This is bad. It’s Saul,” she said.
