Although Naomi had taught those people a lesson, Emma let out a troubled sigh after a brief moment of happiness.
âAlthough they canât threaten us anymore, we still havenât done our job. Cynthia and so many other people in the company are depending on us, so how can we explain this to them?â
Naomi shook her head and said, âItâs okay. Havenât you heard? Thereâs a solution for every problem. Besides, even if we didnât teach such a client a lesson, Chairman Granger will not cooperate with him once he finds out about this! Itâs just that these few days weâll need your help in finding new clients!â
Emmaâs eyes lit up and asked, âWill it really be okay?â
âOf course. Do you think Chairman Granger is daft?â
âOf course not!â Emma shook her head. âChairman Granger is definitely the most reasonable person I have ever seen, along with his daughter.â
Naomi smiled faintly and said, âYou have a sweet mouth! Well, itâs late today. Iâll take you home!â
âThereâs no need for that!â Emma waved her hand as she refused her offer. âI can go home by myself.â
âDonât worry! Itâs on the way.â
After Naomi finished speaking, she drove straight towards Emmaâs home without waiting for Emma to say anything!
After sending Emma home, Naomi watched Emmaâs figure disappear from the road. Then, she took a deep breath and buried her head in the steering wheel.
In the past few days, she tried to maintain a cheerful appearance and put a smile on her face every day.
She had indeed tried really hard to put on a good façade.
However, whenever she was alone, her sorrow would start swallowing her alive.
It was not until her mobile phone rang that she came to her senses and picked up the call.
Clint had called her. He said, âNaomi, the results of the investigation you asked me to investigate are out!â
Only then did Naomi remember that she had asked Clint to investigate Fridaâs fiancé, Bennett Chilton.
âUncle Clint, did you manage to find Bennett?â
âYes, Iâll send his information to your mobile phone now. Have a look, alright?â
As he said that, a notification sounded from her phone. Naomi did not hang up on the call and directly clicked on the message.
The first photo was Bennettâs face. He looked good and his facial features were slightly on the feminine side. He had the kind of face that many girls would like.
It was a casual picture of him. In the photo, he was wearing expensive looking clothes, and he looked quite fashionable.
As she scrolled down, she saw that there were some documents of his family background. There was also some information about his recent jobs and education background.
When she saw that he was making preparations for his and Fridaâs wedding, Naomi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
Perhaps it was because she was happy for Frida, or perhaps it was because she discovered that not everyone had nothing left like herself, therefore she felt at ease.
She let out a soft sigh from the bottom of her heart.
âHeâs preparing for his wedding with Fridaâ¦â
âFridaâs wedding?â Clint suddenly interrupted. âThe brideâs name is not Frida, itâs Joanne Astor!â
âJoanne Astor?â Naomi was stunned as she asked, âYou mean that the person who will be married to Bennett is Joanne Astor?â
âYeah, havenât you finished reading the documents Iâve sent to you? Joanneâs information is at the bottom. I thought that you might want to know, therefore I helped you get a copy of it.â
Naomi quickly scrolled down, and saw the piece of information that Clint had mentioned at the bottom.
Joanne was a woman who looked gentle and harmless. Her hair was black and straight, coming off like a quiet person from her photos.
At the bottom was her information, where it wrote, âThey have been married for three years!â Due to the fact that Joanne had given birth to twins, their family was extremely happy, and therefore they wanted to hold a wedding to make up for their losses.
The words âthree yearsâ stung Naomiâs eyes.
Frida had mentioned that Bennett had always been waiting for her, but she had no idea that he had gotten married three years ago.
Furthermore, he even had a pair of twins with his wife.
However, even so, Bennett did not tell Frida about Joanne and said that he was waiting for her. In reality, he had taken Fridaâs money and used it to support his family.
Naomi suddenly felt all kinds of horrible feelings in her heart. She thought to herself, âIs there really no such thing as love in this world?â
Then, she heard Clintâs voice, âNaomi? Whatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing!â Naomi sniffed. âIâm fine. I suddenly felt a little emotional when I saw that scumbag! Thank you, Uncle Clint! Iâll treat you to a meal some other day.â
âHey! Do you think I helped you because I wanted a meal from you? However, if Mrs. Granger is the one personally making it, Iâm willing to have some!â
Naomi was speechless as she replied, âAll right, Iâll go back and ask Mom if she has time to cook!â
â¦
At night, Naomi laid on the bed, but Fridaâs eyes were in her mind.
At that time, she had been so crazy that she had taken risks for a man, just like herself.
Although Frida had almost injured her, Naomi still could not hate her. She only thought that Frida was pitiful.
She turned around and forced herself to close her eyes.
As she was in a daze, she looked back at the moment when she first met Nelson. At that time, it was beautiful.
â¦
A week later, Naomi got the final verdict from Clint.
Monique was eventually sentenced to death because she was suspected of being involved in many trade secrets, and some of the bad things that she had committed with others in the past had also been revealed.
The police had imposed severe punishments on everyone under Monique as a warning to others.
That included Nelson and Frida. They were both sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
Clint was worried that Naomi would be in a bad mood so he didnât go into detail about Nelsonâs matter. He said, âIn fact, a death sentence with a two-year reprieve is not serious. As long as they are willing to repent, their sentences will be commuted.â
Naomi nodded, looking stiff.
Clint noticed her demeanor and immediately changed the subject, focusing on Frida instead.
Perhaps it was because Naomi had investigated her before, therefore he had to cheer her up with some news.
âShe is very pitiful. I heard that she has been asking to meet her fiancé. However, when the prison guards tried to contact Bennett, he instantly said that he did not know her! They were worried that she could not bear the news, therefore they said that they could not contact him. However, her psychological endurance was not high therefore she went on a hunger strike!â
Naomi frowned and said, âI seeâ¦â
Clint noticed her lack of interest, but remained silent.
âI remember that I have something to do. Iâll leave nowâ¦â
After Clint left, Naomi picked up her phone and looked at the last message, which contained all of Bennettâs contact information.
Naomi dialed the number and asked, âIs this Bennett Chilton? Iâm Naomi George from Valiant East. I would like to cooperate with you and would like to speak to you.â
Bennett was incredibly flattered, and he had no other suspicions at all. He quickly made an appointment with Naomi, and indicated that he would be flying in from another province.
After all, Valiant East was such a big company. Who wouldnât want to cooporate with them?
