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...”
