“He was so good at pretending. Perhaps, this is just his true colors.”
Naomi’s lips twitched and curved into a bitter smile. She had the best first-hand experience these past
ten years.
At that moment, Naomi suddenly thought of another possibility. If that was truly Scott’s personality then
was it possible that he had planned for her mom’s death?
“Lucy, I plan to restart the investigation regarding the air accident back then. I don’t believe that my
mom really died because of an accident.”
“I don’t believe it either.”
Lucy’s gaze grew stern. She held Naomi’s shoulder and said, “However, this is not the most important
thing right now. You have to focus on getting into college. Live your life the way you want to in the
present and not the past. I’ll help you with the investigation on what happened back then.”
“Lucy, thanks. Also…” Naomi paused and removed the Ocean Star from her neck and returned it to
Lucy.
“What are you doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucy looked at Naomi with a puzzled look.
“I know the whole gentleman thing is a lie. You only said it to back me up. Lucy, thanks for helping. The
three of them wouldn’t have been driven away in shame if it wasn’t for you. I’m truly thankful to you.
Now, it’s time to return the item to its rightful owner.”
“Pfft!” Lucy could not help but laugh at Naomi’s words.
“Oh, dear. You’re such a slowpoke! Who told you that the gentleman is fake?”
“Ah? What do you mean?” It was Naomi’s turn to be stunned.
“Well, I can use my power as Cezanne vice president to stop them from wearing our products.
However, I don’t have the right to chase them away, nor do I have the right to use the Ocean Star to
help you…”
Lucy spoke slowly on purpose and stared at Naomi meaningfully.
“Does this means that…”
Naomi’s heart thumped faster. The only one who had the power to make West City Hotel’s general
manager speak; the only one who could easily purchase Ocean Star was
“It’s your husband, Jack Hough, the Prince of Gin City!”
“It’s really him?!”
Naomi’s eyes widened upon hearing Lucy’s explanation. It was unbelievable!
Why would Mister Daddy be so nice to her?
“Of course it is. You should thank him when you get home later. Don’t fight anymore.”
Lucy patted Naomi’s hand and spoke from experience. “It’s bad for a husband and wife to fight like it’s
the Cold War. He has already given you a reason to speak. Why don’t you take the chance and thank
him?”
“Oh.”
Naomi nodded in a blur, Well, since Mister Daddy had taken the initiation, she should repay him and
show him her gratitude. However, how could she show her appreciation? She still could not afford any
luxury
items, nor could give him any treasures in return…
Meanwhile, Lucy’s face became stern.
“By the way, let’s get back to business. Did you consider the contract to become the spokesperson for
Cezanne?”
“About that…” Naomi hesitated a little.
When she glanced around, she noticed a high-end luxury suit jacket on display. It was designed by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCezanne and was the only piece available in the whole world.
She had an idea on what to give Mister Daddy in return!
She looked around and immediately answered, “I’ll accept it with just one condition.”
“I’ll accept any condition. Say it.”
Lucy quickly agreed because she was afraid Naomi would change her mind.
Naomi immediately replied with a bright smile, “Lucy, thanks. I want…”
An hour later, Naomi was back at Tarragon Bay Area.
Naomi opened the door carefully. She bent and walked with soft footsteps as she sneaked into the
house.
Click! Suddenly, all the lights in the house turned on. Completely stunned, Naomi froze at the entrance.
How could there be such a coincidence? She was found as soon she got back!
She heard a man’s voice coming from in front of her.
“Why are you sneaking around?”
Jack crossed his arms and looked at her with a stern face from above her.
“I’m not!”
Naomi quickly stood upright and hid the gift behind her back.
Jack tilted his hea

chin. “Take it out. I saw it already.”
