NovelAppChapter 146 "Mmm." Naomi glanced at her. One look and Naomi could tell that this necklace was Pandora's limited edition product of the year, which sold for 480 million dollars.
Brendan had mentioned that he wanted to pre-order the necklace as a gift to her. But unfortunately, he never managed to buy it in the end.
Such luxurious jewelry wasn't something that Chloe could afford. To be unpleasantly frank, she'd barely have more than 80 million if she sold off her entire family. Thus, she didn't have the ability to buy that necklace.
At that thought, she turned to look at Brendan.
She kept calling him a stingy man. Well, he seemed to be quite generous now.
Brendan wasn't stingy at all. In Mason's words, he spent money as if his cash sprouted from trees. However, he was generous with everyone except for Naomi." Seeing Naomi glance at her necklace, Chloe awkwardly touched her neck, and her confidence drained instantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a while, a few higher-ups from the company showed up. Michael and the rest of them chatted with the bosses while Naomi found a spot to rest.
Brendan hadn't greeted her, nor had she greeted him. Since her law firm colleagues were around, she would never cclean with her true identity.
After reading a few case files and downing two cups of coffee, Naomi got up to use the toilet.
As she emerged from the toilet, Chloe cover.
The two met each other head-on, and Chloe greeted her smilingly yet again, "Naomi." Every tChloe saw Naomi, she grinned winningly. An unknowing bystander would've thought they were best friends.
"Yes," Naomi acknowledged her flatly.
Upon seeing this, Chloe touched her neck. "Naomi, have I upset you?" Naomi was silent.
Didn't she behave the sway every tthey met? She wasn't her client, nor was she a goddess. Why should she be happy to see her? Naomi wiped her hands with a tissue. Chloe explained guiltily, "Naomi, this necklace was indeed given toby Brendan. He just saw that I had been handling multiple household issues, and I...
Chloe's voice faded out when she mentioned herself. She then continued, "Naomi, please don't misunderstand. "Brendan and I are just friends, just like how Ronald and Balley are your friends. Naomi, please don't hate 1. me.
Naomi found this hilarious.
She hadn't even said anything. Where did she get all this from? Naomi threw her tissue into the bin and raised her eyes. "Hate you? You have to deserve it first." Naomi couldn't deny that Chloe's tolerance and manipulative abilities were at a level most women could only hope to achieve.
If Madelyn had one-tenth of her capabilities, perhaps she would've taken up the mantle of Mrs. Ludwig instead.
Chloe said, "Naomi, I know I don't have the right to say this to you.

Naomi looked at her jokingly and said, "That's the logic of Clement's mistress Lily, isn't it i'm not here to destroy your family. I just want to be part of the family." Back then, when Lily said those words, Naomi was horrified. Those around her were similarly stupefied.
Chloe flushed. "Naomi, that's not what I meant."
Naomi stuffed both hands into her dress pockets and smiled. "Alright, what you meant has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain." There were too many outside temptations. Whether or not a man cheated or remained loyal to his family was his choice.
Due to that, Naomi never found it necessary to compete with other women. She only fought against men.
If she competed with women, there would be too many of them. It would waste tand energy, and she wouldn't even be able to manage it.
However, whoever toed the line in front of her would die a horrible death.
Naomi began walking away, but Chloe reached out to pull her back. "Naomi, that's not what I meant. It wasn't." Naomi wore an expression of disdain as she shook Chloe's hand off. "What are you trying to do, pullingaround?
