Chapter 106

The midday sun was shining exceptionally bright that day.

It illuminated Naomi’s face with a radiant glow as she stepped out victoriously after Annie’s lawsuit.

Not only had Naomi won the lawsuit, but she had done it flawlessly as well.

*Thank you, Ms. Goodwin! Thank you for helping me secure so much money.” Naomi had barely descended the steps when Annie hurried out to express her gratitude.

Naomi grinned. “I was just doing my job.”

Annie let out a heavy sigh and said meaningfully, “Ms. Goodwin, I knew Tom’s lawyer approached you and offered you money to let the case slide. But you didn’t accept it.”

Naomi’s smile widened at Annie’s remark, and she slid her hands into her pockets.

“Ms. Logan, you’ve got quite the connections! You even heard of such confidential matters.”

Annie chuckled. “After 30 years of marriage, I know exactly the kind of person Tom is. I just didn’t expect

him to consider divorce and take action so soon.

Despite getting divorced and receiving half of Tom’s assets, Annie still felt sentimental about their years. together.

They had spent more than half their lives together. It would have been wonderful if Tom hadn’t cheated and they had spent the rest of their lives together.

Seeing Annie’s sad expression, Naomi took her hand out of her pocket and patted the former’s arm.

“Ms. Long, we’ve come this far, and we’ve given it our all. No regrets. Your children are grown now. You should focus on putting yourself first.”

Annie felt grateful for Naomi’s words of comfort and looked at her. “Ms. Goodwin, you’re a good friend. Do you have time for lunch today? Let’s eat together.”

Naomi glanced at her watch. “It’s getting late. I still have things to attend to at my law firm. How about

next time?”

Annie was about to answer when her just–divorced husband also emerged from the courthouse. Seeing the two women there, Tom’s face immediately darkened.

He glared at Annie before shifting his annoyed gaze to Naomi.

Tom was in his 50s. He wasn’t too tall and was slightly chubby. He was dressed in a floral shirt with a casual black suit jacket.

His neck was adorned with á noticeable gold chain, and there was a flashy watch on his wrist. His square beard also gave him a distinctive look.

He was clearly a wealthy businessman. But compared to people like Brendan, he was far from being in

He looked like the boss of some saloon or some construction company–a third party who would work.

with her family’s company.

As Tom passed by them, he said to Naomi, “You’re quite impressive, young lady! You’re diligent and responsible. I’ll come to you if I face any legal matters in the future.”

Damn it. Naomi was unyielding. He had even arranged for someone to offer her eight million dollars if she gave up on the case.

But she had insisted on exposing his hidden assets, as well as those he transferred in previous years, and dividing them meticulously for Annie.

She had managed to secure more than 300 million dollars from him for Annie!

Annie was already 50 years old. A few million dollars would have sufficed for her retirement. Why did she

need so much money?

Seeing Tom gritting his teeth in anger, Naomi grinned indifferently. “Thank you in advance, Mr. Hunter.”

Naomi remained composed and indifferent. Tom pointed a warning finger at her before leaving with clenched teeth.

Once he had left, Naomi turned and bid Annie farewell. She promised to have lunch another time before

driving away.

Naomi had won this lawsuit flawlessly. She had barely left the courthouse when the news of her

successful court case spread throughout the industry.

“She represented the Ludwig Corporation last time, and now she’s handled this divorce lawsuit so well. This new lawyer from Solaris Law Firm is not bad.”

“I heard she’s beautiful and has a great figure too.”

Naomi was humming a happy tune as she drove when her phone suddenly rang.
