Chapter 71 At Tarragon Bay. “Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!” On the other end of the phone, Susan asked
worriedly, “Are you okay, Naomi?” “I‘m fine. Maybe my enemies are cursing me or something,” Naomi
replied as she pulled up the blanket and snuggled into the couch. She held her phone in one hand and
her laptop in the other. On the coffee table next to her was a bowl of unfinished instant noodles. It was
quite a pathetic
She suddenly found herself missing Mister Daddy’s cooking. Naomi shook her head violently the
second that thought entered her mind and slapped her cheeks to wake herself up. Jack slammed the
door in her face and left without so much as an apology after saying those horrible things to her the day
before. Someone like that was not worth mulling over! Susan‘s anxious voice came through the phone

smirked, “I already have an idea about what she‘s planning.”
“Are you thinking of beating her at her own game?” Naomi tilted her head and smiled. “You know me so
well.” She stared at the screen in front of her, which displayed the Greens‘ recent stock prices. “By the
way, what‘s the progress on that thing we talked about before?” Naomi added as her tone turned
serious. It was a crucial part of her plan. “Don‘t worry, we got the deal. Your dad will never find out that
Shaw Pharmaceuticals belongs to you!” “Perfect!” Naomi beamed. She had put together a few formulas
and asked Susan to work with a few pharmaceutical factories to develop them. She had planned to
slowly expand and go against the Greens, but she did not expect the performance of her family‘s
company to be so poor that she could surpass them in a matter of days.
Susan replied, “The only thing is that we‘ve used up all of the start–up capital...” Naomi responded
immediately, “Don‘t worry, I‘ll handle the money. Actually, that will be settled anytime now!” “What are
you planning to do?”
“Just wait and see.” Naomi tapped away at her laptop keyboard and sent Nine a message. [Nine, I‘ll

“Sorry, Susan. The person with the money just got here. I‘ll have to hang up now,” Naomi said. “Alright,
I‘ll talk to you later,” Susan replied. Naomi ended the call with her friend and answered Scott’s call.
“What do you want?” “Come home for a bit tomorrow. There‘s something I need you to do.” His tone
was obnoxiously demanding as if Naomi was less than one of their servants. “Say whatever you need
to say on the phone!” Naomi responded coldly as she raised her brows. She no longer had a reason to
show any respect to her scumbag of a father! “How dare you speak to me that way? Where are your
manners?” Scott yelled furiously. Naomi glanced at the calendar on the coffee table, then asked, “Do
you know what day it is today?” “What?” Scott snapped in a confused tone, then continued, “You have
no shame! How could you embarrass her in front of all of those people? She was even forced to drop
out of school! Apologize to her immediately!” “Heh...”
