Sylvia can’t say a word. It’s something she has been worrying about so far. It’s too much for someone to send that many hitmen to kill Thomas who is just a countryside man. She knows she was the real target, and they can just come to her again.
Right after saying all his suspicions, Thomas stares at Laura full of intent, making that lady so awry about something.
“Enough with your bullshit,” Laura snaps. “We know you only wanted to squeeze Donovan’s money, and now you are trying to shift the blame to save your face! Joaquin! Kick him out of this house!”
Laura’s husband comes to Thomas, and then grabs his clothes. He harshly drags Thomas before forcing him to get up. Soon after that, he throws him toward the family room.
As Thomas tries to get up, his attention is diverted by a pair of smooth, beautiful legs in high heels. He then looks up, finding Naomi Saunders standing over him, the same girl he met yesterday at the cemetery. She doesn't look so happy at all.
The incident at Boslow Hill last month has actually been a public conversation lately. How could it not be, Donovan Gregory's granddaughter was involved in the incident, and six criminals died without knowing who killed them.
Some people have also learned about the fate of the man who saved Donovan Gregory’s granddaughter that night. Of course, Naomi Saunders, who knows the Gregory Family quite well, has also learned a little about the incident.
For this reason, she deliberately kept quiet following the little drama that has just happened, because she recognized Sylvia's face quite well. It’s just that she didn’t know that the man who saved Sylvia in Boslow Hill was actually the same man who saved her life in the cemetery.
“So, the hero who saved the only princess of the Gregory family was you?” Naomi looked down at Thomas with a sweet smile. “Now I begin to understand why you were always crawling, showing so much difficulty using your two legs. I heard you lost the ability to walk after saving her life. But I am still confused, what did you do in the cemetery yesterday?”
She then averts her attention to Sylvia. Her naïve smile completely vanishes. Her gaze is icy cold like the eyes of a dead fish’s eyes.
“From what I heard, shouldn't they be taking care of you since you got out of the hospital, my dear Thomas?”
She directs the question to Thomas, but isn’t taking her cold gaze away from Sylvia. Of course, her behavior sparks some displeasure from Sylvia, who feels like she is being judged wrong by a woman she doesn’t know.
“This has nothing to do with you,” Sylvia refutes.
“Why would you think this has nothing to do with me?” replies Naomi rhetorically.
“You?” It sparks Sylvia’s curiosity. “Who are you to him? It seems like you know Thomas well!”
Apparently, Thomas is currently showing contempt at Naomi with whatever thoughts he has in his mind. He struggles to get up, and then leans to Naomi by holding her shoulders on both sides.
“How dared you take off my clothes without my concern?”
He looks so pissed off. But his anger is not seen by Sylvia and the others, because they only see Thomas' back when he speaks to Naomi.
However, everything he said just now was heard clearly by everyone, causing them to start imagining wild things about what might have happened between him and that stunning girl last night.
Naomi averts her glance back to Sylvia, and shows a cunning smile. “You heard what he said, didn’t you? He is my boyfriend! I have the right to know what you did to him after you took him out of the hospital.”
Both Joaquin and Oliver, who know so well who Naomi is, are so shocked to hear Naomi’s confession.
“So what if he is your boyfriend?” Sylvia rebukes.
Joaquin Underwood rushes to Sylvia, and then whispers to her from behind. “She is Naomi Saunders, the daughter of Adam Saunders who is known as the richest man in Drada in the recent years.”
Sylvia is petrified. Well, she is not a businesswoman. She knows the Saunders, but this is her first time to see Naomi in the face.
“How did he get to know important people like the Saunders?” she mumbles.
Unlike Sylvia, Oliver Morris, who happens to hold an important position at Morris Enterprise, has met Naomi in some occasions before this. There was even a time when he tried to hook on her, fantasizing about making that stunning girl his wife. But Naomi is a beauty beyond his reach.
He had tried, but never managed to leave a little impression on the girl. Even at the moment, Naomi acts as if she has never known him.
“This bumpkin? Your boyfriend?” Oliver chuckles by shaking his head. “Isn’t that weird? That man looked so mad after Donovan Gregory matched me with his granddaughter. If he is indeed your boyfriend, isn't it strange if he still hopes to marry another girl?”
Naomi glances at Thomas, raising one of her eyebrows a bit. And Thomas, he looks so confused, not knowing what’s inside this girl’s mind when telling them that he is her boyfriend.
Out of nowhere, Naomi kisses Thomas’ cheek while holding his chin gently, and then shows her naughty smile at Oliver.
“Well, we only started dating last night. Should I also tell you what we had done the whole night, Mr. Golden-haired Prince, Oliver Morris? I gave him something you could only beg me this whole time,” the girl teases.
Oliver is fumed, isn’t hiding how irritated he is. It is obvious that Naomi recognizes him. She even used that ‘Golden-haired Prince’ term - something Oliver used to introduce himself to Naomi in the past - as mere a joke to tilt him.
It also steals Sylvia’s attention. Curiosity paints her face, slightly mixed with jealousy, suspecting that the girl has something to do with her fiancé.

As if no longer having the strength to stand on two feet, Naomi lifelessly kneels down with a pitiful pale face. Her eyes are watery, and her two hands with trembling fingers covering her mouth.As an educated person, she knows so well that it’s already too late to save her father’s life. Not even the best doctor in the world can save Adam Saunders’ life.On the other hand, Mr. Chicote can no longer argue the two doctors anymore. He looks so stupid, gulping with a pale face, realizing how fuck up he is at the moment.“Now you realize how stupid you have been in my eyes?” Alfred, who has just come out of the isolation room, states coldly to Mr. Chicote’s face. “I don't care whether ghosts exist or not. But I can say for sure that you are just a swindler, taking advantage of other people's suffering to extort their money.”“Nonsense!” Mr. Chicote refutes. “She was the one who asked for my help, and I do what I can do based on my knowledge.”“Based on your knowledge? So what about the gho

Alfred looks so mad, but his eyes are red and sparkling with tears due to anguish and despair. And Mr. Chicote, like he doesn’t give a damn what causes Alfred’s sorrow, suddenly slaps him in the face and yells back.“Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist! It’s like your brain, no matter how stupid you are, you still have a brain even though you can’t see it. It’s either you are ignorant, or you know it but deliberately let the devil use you to lead people astray!”Alfred is stunned, his face looks baffled. Not because the word has succeeded in providing enlightenment, but because of the old man’s audacity in slapping him in front of other people.He grabs the man’s black robe with just his left hand and then pushes him hard against the wall, making the glass wall shake with it.The nurse tries to stop the fight, but Alfred ignores her and brings his face closer to Mr. Chicote.“How dare you slap my face? Even my boss never did that to me!” He croaks, his voice

Carefully, she starts tidying the bedroom without disrupting the arrangement of those strange objects. Until a few moments later, she feels a strange breezy softly blowing her beautiful hair.It could just be the wind coming out from the bathroom with an unclosed window. But she thinks it is some kind of bad premonition.Feeling eerie, she immediately gets out of the room while taking her phone out to make a call.[Immanuel Chicote here!]“Mr. Chicote! It’s me, Naomi Saunders!”[My child! How is your father’s situation?”“Um, could you come here, please? I don’t feel quite right about the situation in this house.”[Sure! I’ll be right there!]Not daring to be alone on that second floor, she hurries down to the kitchen to see the maids.“Matilda! Could you make lemonade tea for me?” She politely asks before taking a seat.“We've used all the lemons yesterday?” Matilda deplores. “It's something that Anastasia Nixon didn't like, and that Mr. Chicote used as a talisman to keep her away fro

After listening to Matilda's explanation, Naomi slowly turns her face to the direction where her father went. She no longer sees the car, but her face is now painted with worry.In the past few days, her father has often behaved strangely, always filled with excessive fear, worried about people who might be after his life.Adam even said that he was visited by Anastasia Nixon and her Chihuahua, both in his dreams and when he was conscious.And Naomi, who does believe in superstition, has also called a psychic to cleanse her house of all forms of negative energy. But it seems that wasn't enough.“Alfred! We need to call Mr. Immanuel Chicote back to cleanse my house.”Alfred is grimacing as soon as he hears what Naomi has just said. And of course, Naomi understands very well what his reaction means.“I know this sounds stupid to you,” Naomi continues impatiently. “But we have no other choice. I know for sure that my father is not crazy. Of all the hallucinations he has, he sees the ghost

The situation at the Saunders Properties Trust office is being made busy by Alfred. It’s about Naomi, who left the office without anyone knowing where she went. It’s been more than three hours, and she hasn’t come back.“How come no one knows? What are you guys doing here anyway?” He grunts.“Welcoming guests with greetings and a smile,” replies the receptionist.“Monitoring the people in this lobby,” says one of the security officers.Alfred squints at that man. “And you didn’t see her leaving?”“I did! But it’s not my place to question her, or even prevent her from leaving the office. She is the boss,” the security officer argues.“Oh, God! Don’t you even realize her situation?” Alfred deplores.All those employees can only show their oblivions. Alfred rubs his head in frustration, before coming back to the receptionist.“Have you tried to call her?” he asks.“I have! But it’s out of reach,” replies the female receptionist.“Call it again!” Alfred exclaims as he walks away. “Keep try

Is this all you got?” Thomas taunts.Five minutes have past, and that tough looking face is now swollen on the left side. With both knees and hands on the ground, Alfred looks down with a frustrated face.“Is it the gun that you really want, or humiliation?” Thomas provokes coldly.But Alfred doesn't even dare to look back at Thomas anymore. It is a fair fight, one on one, with Thomas not letting anyone interfere with their affair. Yet, he really can’t do anything.Even with the anger filling his heart, he is now realizing how far the gap between him and Thomas is. This is the first time someone has made him so helpless.
