Chapter 62
Although Naomi mostly handled divorce cases, inheritance cases, and some minor cases, she had made
connections through these cases.
After all, ordinary people rarely go through legal procedures for divorce. So, over the past year, she had
accumulated quite a network.
“Naomi, you’re truly something. People usually visit real estate offices when they want to buy a house, but you’re here at the City Planning Department. Are you planning to buy a whole building?”
“Mr. Turner, if you have any good recommendations, I might just buy a whole building.”
The middle–aged man, Winston Turner, chuckled and said, “Come on, let’s go to my office and discuss it. I’ll show you some good real estate options.”
“Thank you, Mr. Turner,”
Naomi had helped Winston resolve a minor dispute, persuading the parties involved to settle it privately instead of going through litigation, so he admired her work style and intelligence.
Over half an hour later, when Naomi left his office, she had gathered some information from their
conversation.
“Naomi.” As Naomi was humming a tune when she was about to leave the City Planning Department,
someone called her name from ahead.
She looked up and smiled when she saw who it was.
“Henry, are you here for business too?”
With his hands in his pockets, Henry Sabella nodded and replied, “I’m not taking those divorce cases of yours anymore. Are you planning to help out at your dad’s company?”
Naomi chuckled and said, “It’s all thanks to your Sabella family. They almost drove me to change careers.”
She didn’t seem bothered by it. Henry took a couple of steps forward, bending slightly to whisper into her
ear.
“You’ve certainly got some courage to step into the Sabella family’s territory and take on Madelyn all on
your own.”
Naomi noticed that Henry was dressed in a bespoke suit and a striped tie. His tall, slightly slender frame gave him an elegant and refined appearance. He had the air of a cultured and handsome young man, and his smile was pleasing to the eye.
Naomi remarked, “She was worth the trouble.”
Henry looked at Naomi with gentle eyes and replied with a warm smile, “Are you taking out your dissatisfaction
with Brendan on Madelyn?”
Naomi retorted, “She doesn’t have the capabilities nor the qualifications for that.”

Seeing her response, Henry returned to the main topic with a smile.
“Are you here to gather information for your dad? How about you stay the night with me? I’ll make sure the Sabella Group backs out of the competition in South Glistenville. And if you can satisfy me, you’ll secure legal representation for the Sabella Group.”
Henry had a seemingly harmless demeanor, always gentle and warm toward everyone. But in reality, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Before Naomi could respond, Henry whispered, “Brendan hardly ever goes home. It’s not easy for you to be alone in an empty house, right?”
Naomi looked at him and asked, “Do you dare to get on Brendan’s bad side?”
“Of course! If he hadn’t acted quickly, Madelyn would be calling you ‘sister–in–law by now.”
His lips curled up, and the faint smile on his face remained gentle and warm.
Naomi understood Henry’s intentions very well. He simply wanted to play with her and compete with Brendan. He was the kind of man who only cared about himself and his interests.
She lightly tugged on his tie and said, “Alright!”
Then, she tiptoed and leaned closer to his ear, exhaling a warm breath as she said, “I hope you can satisfy
me tonight.”
Henry took advantage of the situation by placing his hands on Naomi’s waist. He then took a key from his pocket and put it in Naomi’s hand, saying, “I’ll be waiting for you.”
Naomi glanced at the key. She looked back at Henry and said, “Then… I’ll see you later.”
Henry adjusted his tie, appearing eager and impatient.
