NovelAppChapter 75 The dark living room stared back at Jack in pin–drop silence, as if silently mocking his one
sided enthusiasm. Jack reached out to turn on the lights, and the state of the living room shocked him.
Junk food piled up on the coffee table, including a cold, half–eaten bowl of instant noodles. A game
console and a laptop were placed carelessly on top of the pile, and the floor was covered in food
crumbs. It was painstakingly clear that Naomi had spent the past few days in freedom and bliss. Jack‘s
face hardened. He looked into the bedroom and the study, and he could not find a soul. He could not
believe that he had purposely finished his work early and rushed back on the earliest flight. Naomi was
not waiting for him at all.
Jack let out a cold laugh. He let go of his grip, and the gift box he held fell straight into the trash bin.
The gifts, like his extinguished enthusiasm, turned into ashes and garbage. He pulled out his phone

said cheekily, “Sir, you‘re not thinking of taking your wife to...” “She is not my wife, and I don‘t want to
hear you mention her name!” Jack snapped with a frown.
He hung up the phone and quietly walked out of the building.
In the outskirts of Gin City, Naomi slowly awakened in the warehouse of an abandoned factory.
The blinding bright lights made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Eight high–definition video cameras
were placed in front of her, all of them aimed right at her. She was tied securely onto a large wooden
board, with her arms and legs spread wide.
A group of four or five men stood in a corner and... stripped! “Oh, you‘re up? It looks like we‘ll be
having a lot more fun later!”
“Hahaha! She‘s a feisty one. She even managed to hurt my leg. I‘ll make her pay for that with her
body!” “Go ahead and scream, baby. We might go easy on you! Hahaha!”
The red–headed leader shamelessly teased Naomi while the other men joined in. Naomi held back her
disgust and calmly met the red–headed man‘s eyes. “I don‘t think I‘ve offended you in any way.” “It‘s
just business, baby. Blame it on your bad luck!” The red–headed man had already taken off his shirt
and approached Naomi with a malicious grin on his face.
Naomi‘s eyes widened, and she quickly began negotiating. “I‘ll pay you ten times what Clarissa Green
is giving you!” “Ten times?” asked the red–headed man as he stopped in his tracks. Naomi saw an
opportunity and frantically replied, “Yes! Ten times! I‘m married to the Hough family, so that amount of
money is nothing to me! Think about it. Would you rather go against Clarissa Green or the Prince of
Gin City, Jack Hough?”
“Well...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe red–headed man‘s expression was hesitant. Naomi was just beginning to feel relieved when the
man let out a loud cackle. “Hahaha! Do you think we‘re that easy to convince?” Naomi‘s heart dropped.
The men really were not average punks! “We‘re a bunch of outlaws. Why would we be afraid of Jack
Hough?” sneered the red–headed
man.
“In our line of work, trust is everything. Since Clarissa Green already paid us, why would we go back on
our word for you? It looks like she was right about your scheming. Well, I‘ve got news for you.”
At that point, the man had reached where Naomi was tied up, and he leaned forward with his face
dangerously close to hers. Naomi gritted her teeth. She refused to give in and stared straight into the
man‘s eyes. “Firstly, we‘re out in the middle of nowhere right now. Nobody will find you here. Secondly,
We specially chose the day your husband was out on a business trip to come for you. You can give up
now! Nobody is coming for you...”
In the presidential suite at the West City Hotel, Jack resurfaced from the swimming pool. Sean handed
him a towel, glanced at his employer‘s face, then carefully said, “Sir, it‘s late, and Miss Naomi still
hasn‘t returned home. Should we go look for her?”
