Chapter 1076


    Of course, Naomi did not really want to talk about business with Bet! It was just out ofpassion


    that she wanted that poor woman, Frida, to sober up.


    There were already so many pitiful people in the world.


    Why would she waste her time on people that were not worth it?


    Bet arrived in Rosaville City the next day after the call.


    The two of them had agreed to meet in a coffee shop. Bet had even brought his wife along with

    him.


    Naomi remembered that his wife was called Joanne!


    She looked incredibly demure as she stood behind Bet like a small animal.


    Upon seeing Naomi, the two of them said something to each other. Then, Bet kissed her on the


    cheek before he walked up to Naomi.


    Joanne, on the other hand, sat at a smaller table at the corner quietly.


    As she thought about it, Bet came over.


    "Miss George, right? Nice to meet you."


    Naomi came to her senses and hummed in assent absent-mindedly.


    "Mr. Chilton."


    Bet went straight to the point. After he ordered a cup of coffee, he immediately took out the


    documents from the briefcase he had brought with him.


    "This is the information about ourpany. Miss George, please have a look."


    Naomi took it, but did not open the document.


    Bet thought that Naomi was thinking about how small theirpany was, therefore he exined,


    "Although ourpany is small, we always strive for perfection in terms ofpleting projects. We are


    confident that we can cooperate with Valiant East to develop better projects..."


    Naomi pursed her lips and finally opened her mouth.


    "All this money that you''ve used on thepany is all from Frida, am I right?"


    Bet''s fingers paused, and the smile on his face froze instantly.


    "You..." He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He asked, "Have you heard those rumors?


    We are..." "Frida told me that personally!" Naomi looked into Bet''s eyes.


    "She told me that she had a fiance who had been waiting for her for many years!"


    Bet''s eyes were filled with panic and avoidance, and his voice became sharp upon hearing


    Naomi''s words.


    "That''s just her own wishful thinking. I didn''t say that I would wait for her!"


    "Then, why did you take her money?" Naomi felt a rush of anger welling up in her chest.


    "I..." Bet was rendered speechless by her question and hurriedly exined, "It''s not like that. I


    really was going to wait for her, but she made a mistake and I..."


    "Oh..." Naomi only felt the irony as she said, "Do you know why she made a mistake?"


    Bet was in a daze.


    "She wanted freedom! What kind of job do you think she was doing that could let you build apany


    in just a few years time? Everything she did was with her blood, sweat and tears. She was going to


    give up her job to be with you. Did you know that? However, she could not leave, therefore she pulled


    off onest job. She didn''t expect thatst job to cost her her life!"


    Bet frowned tightly. He realized that Naomi was not here to discuss business with him.


    Therefore, his tone became a little rude.


    He said, "So what? I didn''t force her to do all that."


    Naomi smiled wryly as she retorted, "You didn''t force her, but you tied her to an empty promise for your


    love. If you told her from the beginning that you would not wait for her, and that you had already gotten


    married three years ago, do you think she would still do all that?"


    "That''s none of your business." Bet stood up angrily. "I thought Valiant East was a bigpany. It


    turns out that the staff of Valiant East likes to meddle in other people''s business. It seems that we have


    nothing more to discuss!"


    Then, he turned around and walked out.


    Joanne, who waited for him, stood up as well.


    Upon seeing the scene in front of her, she looked a little worried.


    Naomi gritted her teeth and said, "Stop right there! You must go and see her. Do you know that she has


    been sentenced to death?"


    She failed to bring up the reprieve because she felt that there was no need to make things so clear.


    She hoped that Bet had a conscience, and that he would go and meet Frida!


    Bet froze. Perhaps he had genuinely not been aware about the matters, or perhaps he did not care


    what crime Frida hadmitted at all!


    He had never truly cared about her.


    "Oh!" He replied faintly. "That''s unfortunate. However, I don''t have much time. I don''t have the time to


    visit her."


    "Are you really that busy? Or are you afraid that she will affect the reputation of yourpany?"


    Naomi''s words hit him right on the nail.


    Bet became angry from embarrassment. He responded, "What on earth do you want me to do?"


    "I want you to meet her! Otherwise, I will spread all the rumors about you! For a smallpany like


    yours that has just started out, such news will undoubtedly be a disaster!"


    "You..." Bet gritted his teeth while saying, "Okay, fine! You win, you vicious woman!"


    "Vicious? You''re far worse than me!" Naomi said.


    After that, Bet walked up to a worried Joanne again. She could vaguely hear Joanne asking


    Bet about the situation.


    Bet''s voice was gentle as he said, "It''s just a small matter that I need to take care of. You can go


    back to the hotel and wait for me there. When Ie back, well go home!"


    Naomi looked at the scene with contempt. She saw Joanne shake her head, turn around and leave.


    Soon, she hailed a taxi and disappeared.


    "Let''s go!" Bet said.


    It was Naomi''s first visit to prison after the incident.


    Although only half a month had passed, it seemed like half a lifetime had passed for Naomi.


    "What do you want me to say?" Bet suddenly asked, interrupting Naomi''s thoughts.


    Naomi came to her senses and said, "Just say..."


    She paused. She had initially wanted Bet to tell Frida everything. That way, Frida would be able to


    sober up sooner.


    However, as she stood there, her heart inexplicably softened!


    She suddenly felt that as a woman, under such circumstances, to know such a truth was too cruel!


    "Since you''ve already lied to her, why don''t you lie to her for a bit longer?" she finally said.


    "Ridiculous!" Bet snorted and walked in with the prison guard.


    Naomi did not enter. She found a seat at the waiting area outside and sat down.


    Nelson was also here. The person who had deceived her was also here.


    Just as she thought about that, footsteps could be heard from outside.


    "Monique is going to be executed tomorrow, isn''t she?"


    "That''s right! She just applied for a notice and said that she wanted to meet Nelson. I heard that they


    used to be lovers."


    "Really? Where did you hear that from?"


    As the voices drifted further and further away, Naomi felt as if all the blood in her body was going to


    freeze over.
