Chapter 74 Naomi shot a meaningful look at Scott as she turned and walked down the stairs.
Upstairs, Lilian watched Naomi‘s back with a hateful glare.
“We‘re going too easy on her by letting her walk away like this!” Clarissa‘s face twisted into a sinister smile as she replied, “Do you really think that I‘ll let her get away so easily?” “What do you mean?” Lilian asked as she glanced curiously at her daughter. “Why did you think I went through the trouble of bringing back Mrs. Ford?” “Don‘t tell me... In the chicken soup?” “Of course!” Clarissa cackled wickedly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Naomi walked out of the mansion. She was about to step onto the street when she felt a . sudden pang of dizziness. Her entire body started to ache and weaken. “What‘s happening?”
She managed to drag herself to the nearest bus stop, all the while checking her own pulse and pulling out a silver needle. The pulse she felt from her wrist made her face change. She could not believe she was... “How is that possible? Could it be...” Naomi instantly remembered the bowl of chicken soup and Mrs. Ford‘s strangely remorseful gaze as she left the room.
Screech!
At that moment, a black van came to a halt in front of Naomi. A group of muscular men got out of the vehicle and approached Naomi with rucksacks in their hands.
“Who are you?!” Naomi yelled as she put her guard up at the bus stop.
–
The men remained silent. They charged at her and began to attack her.
All Naomi could do was grit her teeth and try to evade the men‘s punches behind the bus stop‘s signboard.
The men were clearly professionals and not ordinary punks! Under normal circumstances, she would have been able to escape them. Then, however, she barely had any strength left in her body.
Damn! That was surely Clarissa‘s evil plan!
Naomi lost consciousness within a few minutes. The men wrapped her up in a rucksack and tossed her into the black van.
The red–headed group leader picked up his phone and dialed Clarissa‘s number. Clarissa’s voice came through the phone‘s speakers. “Is it done?” “We got her! Lucky for us, you drugged her beforehand. Otherwise, we would‘ve had a tough time dealing with her,” replied the red–headed man as he aimed a hard kick at the rucksack.
“Hmph! You can take turns with her later. Just make sure you send me a good quality video after. I want the world to see her as a wh*re!” Clarissa‘s voice was borderline insane, making the red–headed man click his tongue. “Oh? Do you want us to go that far? Aren‘t you sisters?” “Sisters? I want her ruined! She will spend the rest of her life in shame!” Clarissa let out a chilling, manic laugh.
Andrea failed her, but she was prepared this time. Naomi Green was going straight to hell! The red– headed man hung up the phone, then glanced menacingly at his men. “Drive us out to the outskirts. We have a fun night ahead of us!” The black van drove off and left behind nothing but Naomi‘s broken umbrella lying in the rain.
That evening, the rain at Tarragon Bay poured heavily. A car drove towards the entrance of the apartment building. Before it came to a complete stop, Jack stepped out and rushed indoors. “Wait up, sir!” Sean exclaimed as he frantically exited the vehicle. He held a large bag of gifts from Royal City in one arm and an umbrella for Jack in the other. “You‘re too slow!” Jack replied as he shot Sean an
impatient glare, then sped up. “I‘m going as fast as I can. You‘re the one who‘s too excited to see Miss Naomi. You even brought her all these souvenirs from Royal City,” Sean responded. “I heard they‘re shorthanded overseas. Are you interested?” Jack asked coldly as he slowed down his pace.
“No! Absolutely not!” Sean replied, immediately shut his mouth as he passed the gifts to Jack.
Jack‘s face was calm as he stepped into the elevator, but his eyes were dead set on the floor indicator lights.
He had walked out on a sour note last time. As his wife, even if just in name, Naomi showed no sign of concern for him. Even so, he decided to be the bigger person and came back with gifts for her.
The thought of the child–like happiness on Naomi‘s face awaiting him made Jack‘s stoney face soften.
Once he stepped out of the elevator, Jack swiftly opened the door, and the smile on his face
instantly disappeared.
