Chapter 71
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 once again. “Speaking of enemies, I‘m sure Clarissa is thinking of ways to get back at you after what
you did today!”

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 only be picking up orders of
a million dollars and above from now on.] Naomi was about to respond to Susan‘s question when her phone suddenly started
vibrating, signaling that another phone call was coming in.
It was her father.
“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...”
