Not to mention about Naomi’s beauty which is far surpassing hers, causing the naïve girl so awry for losing her man.

“Oliver! You know her?” Sylvia inquires.

Oliver is shaken from his anger, and immediately puts on an ignorant face before averting his face to his fiancée.

“Not really,” he denies. “I just know her as a fellow business person.”

“Oh, how cruel of you,” Naomi sulks childishly. “Didn’t you once whisper in my ear that you never tired of fantasizing about my beauty before going to bed? Well, I don’t mind if we never end up together. But how cruel, now you act like you don’t know me?”

Sylvia glares her eyes straight at Oliver, causing Oliver so scared. And Naomi, she looks so amused, noticing that she has successfully sparked a conflict between them.

“Is this the girl you try hook after the failure in seducing me?” she teases. “It really saddens me that you give up too soon! You were so brave and bold last time, you know?”

“Naomi, please!” Oliver laughs awkwardly. “Stop with the joke already! How could I possibly dare to say such reckless things to someone like you?”

Unlike Oliver, Thomas is still baffled with Naomi’s antics. “What’s the meaning of this?” he whispers.

Naomi brings her face closer to Thomas’ right ear and whispers, “You’ve saved my life! So please, allow me to salvage your dignity for now!”

She leaves Thomas, and approaches Sylvia and Oliver with elegant steps. The showdown has also attracted the attention of several people from the second floor.

“I've seen all the bad things you've done to my boyfriend. Now I demand an apology,” utters Naomi with so much dignity.

Oliver forces a smile. “Please, don’t be mad, Naomi! I didn't think that a bumpkin like him would be your boyfriend. If I knew he was something so dear to you, I wouldn’t dare to treat him that way. But still, I apologize for what I did!”

“Not to me! Apologize to him,” Naomi denies. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves, treating a disabled person that way?”

Oliver glances at Thomas. Somehow, he finds all the ingredients to resent him.

That’s the man he likes to mock and ridicule. But the man is now a boyfriend to Naomi, the girl he could never conquer. There’s no way he is going to apologize now. His pride is too big for him to swallow.

Naomi clearly sees the hatred in Oliver’s face. Hence, she threatens him with a low but intimidating voice.

“Or..,” She comes closer to Oliver. “Should I break your legs here, and then kick you out of my property so that you know how it feels to be treated like a dog?”

“You go this far just for that rag shit?” Oliver squints, grumbling with a restrained hoarse voice.

Out of nowhere, Naomi slaps Oliver in the face, right on his left cheek. It’s quite hard that the man is staggered to the right. Thomas looks so stupid, not expecting that the girl would be so brash and bold.

“How dare you call him rag shit? He’s saved my life once. That’s enough to gain my respect. I respect him more than third rate people like you.”

Oliver rubs his left cheek. Anger is clearly seen in his face. He is fumed, but doesn’t dare to do anything.

Naomi then takes a glance at Sylvia, who is currenctly petrified in fear after witnessing how her fiancé got slapped.

“Unlike you, I know how to be grateful to my savior,” Naomi frets, her chin slightly up with so much dignity.

“Do you have any idea what you have done?” Oliver grumbles. “By humiliating me here, you’ve sparked a conflict with my family and the Gregory!”

“I will defend his honor,” replies Naomi without showing any doubt. “I will lay down my life if it is necessary. So, are you ready to wage war with the Saunders to protect Gregory's honor, Mr. Golden-haired Prince?”

Fear is now clouding Oliver’s face. Despite coming from a wealthy family himself, he knows that the Saunders Family is not the kind of people he should be meddled with. He believes his dad wouldn’t want this.

“Or you could just end this by apologizing to my boyfriend now,” Naomi suggests.

Persuaded by Naomi’s words, Oliver lets go of Sylvia’s hand, intending to confront Thomas to apologize. But Laura immediately interferes by holding Oliver’s hand from behind.

“Don’t ever think about apologizing to him! As a man who will become the son-in-law of the Gregory Family, it is not right for you to lower yourself to a lowly, despicable bumpkin like him.”

“Hey, Laura!” Joaquin grabs his wife’s left hand and shakes it once. “Look at the situation first. You have no idea who you're dealing with.”

“I don’t care who she is,” Laura rebukes, before she comes to Naomi. “Look! I am Donovan's niece from the Gregory family. I am here as a client that you should respect. We are interested in buying this house, 1.2 million dollars is a cheap price for us. I would not mind paying 2 million dollars, as long as you kick that man out of this house right now.”

“Aunt Laura! 2 million dollars for a house is not cheap. Have you talked to grandpa about this?” asks Sylvia.

“Your fiancé is going to buy the house for us, not your grandpa,” says Laura.

Now it is Oliver who looks so opposed to that idea. “Hey! I was willing to buy this house for only 1.2 million! Why would you raise it to 2 million?”

“Is your self-esteem that low?” asks Laura before she draws Oliver’s attention to Sylvia. “Look at her and how she sees you! This matter was originally between her and that man. But now she begins to have a change in mind, because her fiancé doesn’t seem to have any power to fight for her honor. Don't you see that girl is trying to insult my niece and the Gregory family?”

    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

    Feeling insulted, Alfred vents his anger by throwing a punch. Thomas evades it simply by taking his head away, and again, he responds to it with another slap.This situation continues to repeat, with Alfred continually trying to hit Thomas but never succeeding and always getting slapped in return.“Come on! 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.
