Daddy’s Doting Addiction
Chapter 45
That last sentence that Lucy said kept replaying in Naomiâs mind. She could not calm
down for a very long time.
Previously, she had felt that the accident was rather strange, but she believed that Scott
would not do that to her mother.
However, the seed of suspicion has been planted! She must reinvestigate her motherâs death!
âNaomi, Naomi! What are you thinking? We agreed to go shopping yet youâre here daydreaming.â
Susanâs voice pulled Naomi back to reality.
âNothing, Iâm just thinking about something.â
âIs it about signing with Cezanne, becoming their exclusive model?â Susan excitedly grabbed Naomiâs
arm.
âThis is such a great opportunity! You can use this to return to the modeling world, and we can work
together again!â
âItâs not about this.â Naomi smiled helplessly. âSusan, about signing the deal, I still need more time
to think this through.â
âOkay, then.â Susan shrugged and pinched Naomiâs fair and soft cheeks.
âBut, if youâre planning to go into the entertainment world, you must sign with our company. Do you hear
me?â
âOf course! By then, you have to make me famous!â Naomi giggled. She held Susanâs arm and entered a
restaurant
âRight, by the way, what happened this morning? Didnât you say that Mister Hough would send
you?â Susan suddenly thought about the incident that morning and asked in concern.
âSigh! I get angry just talking about it!â Naomi recounted the incident in the morning to Susan once again
before saying, âNo wonder he canât find a wife!â
âYouâre overthinking this. How could the Prince of Gin City not find a wife? Not only the socialites of Gin
City, but even the socialites of Royal City all flocked towards him, but he rejected them all.â
Then, Susan suddenly suppressed her voice. She had an expression that said she wanted to gossip.
âThere is a rumor within circles that he keeps himself that way because he is waiting for a person.â
âWaiting for a person? What do you mean?â
âIâve only heard it from someone else, donât take it seriously.â Susan hesitated for a while. She was afraid
that Naomi might be jealous.
âJust tell me!â Naomi urged. At that moment, Naomi was focused on listening to the gossip.
âOkay, I heard that five years ago, Jack rescued an orphan girl. He even sent her abroad to study. There
was a rumor in Royal City that said he had long fallen in love with her. He was waiting for her to return to
get marriedâ¦â
At that, Susan cautiously swept Naomi a glance and said, âBut itâs only a rumor. After all, no one has
seen that orphan girl before. It might just be made up.â
âIf only she existed. Then, I would be free of my troubles.â Naomi sighed and rested her cheeks on one
hand.
âYou donât know how much trouble I am in right now.â
âI think youâre just being unappreciative!â Susan rolled her eyes.
At that moment, Naomi did not know that what Susan said could be so accurateâ¦
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Naomiâs phone suddenly rang. It was from Scott! Naomi instinctively hung up, but her phone kept ringing.
âHello, what are you calling me for?â Finally, Naomi answered the call. Her tone was cold.
âThereâs a fancy event at the West City Hotel tomorrow. Go to the event representing the Greens. Remem
âNow that youâre all grown up, you need to work for the Green family!â
âI understand,â Naomi replied with displeasure before hanging up. Susan was thinking of something.
âThere is only an event by Cezanne at the West City Hotel tomorrow. Why did your father suddenly chang
fancy dinners? Something must have happened!â âIâm guessing that heâs just apprehensive that Iâm now M
deprecatingly.
