Chapter 16
"B*tch! You still dare deny that these are not you?" Andrea suddenly waved her hand, and the photos flew up like snowflakes in the air, landing on Naomi.
Coincidentally, one of the photos landed right in front of Jack. It was a shocking photo of Naomi hugging another guy around the shoulders!
Jack instantly emitted a dangerous aura, glaring at Naomi coldly.
Naomi picked up a photo to have a look. Her face was in the photo indeed, it was taken during a group photo the semester before. However, she has never hugged any of these male classmates!
Naomi had a closer look. No, it was not right! The body in the photos was not hers!
"The photos are p…"
"The photos are proof!" Andrea did not give Naomi any chance to explain. She directly shoved the photos in front of Old Mister Hough.
In fact, Andrea got those photos from the school group photos. She specifically hired someone to photoshop the faces. Of course, she could not let Naomi expose the truth!
"T-This! This…" Old Mister Hough suddenly found it hard to breathe when he saw the photos. His expressions were extremely dark.
"Andrea, this is slander! Old Mister Hough, I can explain!" Naomi was furious. She could not let Andrea use such dirty tricks to defame her.
However, the next second, Old Mister Hough's eyes rolled back into his head. His body suddenly twitched, and he fell backward!
Andrea screamed, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Are you alright? Jack! Grandpa is like this all because of that b*tch! She made him faint!"
"I'll go get the doctor!" Smith yelled and rushed out.
Naomi was bewildered too. She never would have thought that Old Mister Hough's sickness would flare- up. Just when she was about to help, Andrea brutally shoved her to the ground.
"B*tch! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill my Grandpa?"
Naomi rubbed her aching knees. She was infuriated! Her good intentions had been mistaken for bad ones. She initially wanted to leave, but she saw that Old Mister Hough's face was completely blue and how the servant and Andrea tried to move him.
Naomi's face darkened. She immediately yelled, "Don't move him! If not, he might die from asphyxiation! I learned some medicine from my mother! I have a solution!"
Under desperation, Naomi got up and tugged on Jack's sleeves. She looked at him seriously. "Jack, you have to trust me!"
"Why should he trust you, you liar! Jack, the doctors are almost here. Don't let this liar kill Grandpa!"
In such a critical moment, Naomi had no other choice. She could only tug on Jack's sleeves hard, waiting for his decision.
On one side was Jack's fake wife whom he had only met twice. On the other side was his family. Usually, one would always side with family!
However, Naomi still had a sliver of hope left…
The next second, Jack coldly moved his hand away. Naomi's gaze dimmed. She had overthought. How could he possibly trust her!
"What are you still standing there for? Do something!" Just when Naomi was disappointed, Jack's low voice came from above her.
Naomi looked up in surprise and delight!
"Hmm! I'll do it right away!" Naomi immediately rushed to Old Mister Hough and gently lifted his arm, found a few pressure points, then proceeded to start kneading his arms vigorously.
Jack stood behind her. He looked at her serious-looking petite face. He was somewhat in a daze. He did not understand why he suddenly made such an unusual decision.
"Naomi, you've made Grandpa's arms blue! Are you just trying to kill him?!" Andrea deliberately reprimanded loudly, trying to change Jack's decision.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Old Mister Hough's twitching stopped. Even his breath had stabilised.
"It's finally stable…" Naomi let out a long breath. She was sweating profusely. She did not bring her needles that day, she only did what she could do in that situation, pressing hard on Old Mister Hough's pressure points. Thus, the effect was much slower and less effective.
"Here." At that moment, a white handkerchief appeared in front. She looked at the handkerchief and looked up at Jack's face. His face was not as cold as before.
"Thank you."
Jack did not respond. He turned around to tend to Old Mister Hough. Naomi accepted the handkerchief to wipe her sweat away.
Andrea had an ugly expression, standing by the side, "What are you being so smug about? Grandpa fainted because you angered him!"
"Why don't we properly discuss the matter of the photos to see who was truly the one that made Old Mister Hough faint?" Naomi stared at Andrea with an ambiguous smile. She suddenly remembered that she had not dealt with Andrea regarding the photos yet!
"I… Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up!" Andrea's face paled sheepishly. She did not know how to reply to Naomi.
Suddenly, Old Mister Hough's eyes widened, then he closed his eyes and passed out!
Andrea immediately used this opportunity to scream, "Oh no! Grandpa! Jack! Naomi killed Grandpa!"
"What…" Naomi was baffled. How did that happen?
At that moment, Smith arrived together with the Hough Mansion's family doctor. The doctor gave Old Mister Hough a jab. Although Old Mister Hough's face regained its colors, he still did not come around!
"Mister Hough, I can only do so much. We should send Old Mister Hough to the hospital!" The doctor looked at Jack helplessly.
"Smith, prepare the car!" Jack immediately ordered.
Andrea took the opportunity to give the doctor a look. She asked, "Doctor, this b*tch pinched Grandpa quite hard just now. Could that have worsened his condition?"
"Uh…it might be…" Due to Andrea's threat and how he did not want to bear the responsibility, the doctor stammered and answered Andrea.
Instantly, everyone looked at Naomi angrily.
"Impossible! I did everything according to his symptoms! Unless Old Mister Hough had eaten something he should not have eaten, if not he would not have passed out…"
Naomi was seriously analyzing and explaining herself, but Andrea cut her short curtly, "Stop with your excuses! Grandpa's meals have been tailor-made by a dietician! There is no problem with his food! You must have tried to force it on him! You tried to use dirty tactics to win Jack's heart, but it backfired! Jack, chase this b*tch out of the house right now!"
Naomi was furious and anxious. No one believed her.
Just when she was about to turn around to explain to Jack, she realized that he was glaring at her frigidly.
Naomi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him in disbelief. "You're doubting me too?"
