Brendan was speechless.
Naomi was unlikely to get taken advantage of. There were very few who could compete with her in the whole of Ashburgh. It was just that Henry had quite a lot of courage.
Brendan gave her a disdainful stare. Naomi sat at the desk and said, “He even said that if you hadn’t
taken action so quickly, Madelyn would be calling me ‘sister–in–law‘ by now.”
Brendan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t respond. Instead, he asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?
Naomi picked up some documents from the side and replied, “My life isn’t as effortless as yours. I need
to look into the South Glistenville project.”
Around noon, Dennis had someone send the project proposal to her email. She had to deal with matters.
at the law firm during the day, so she could only take a look at it at night.
Brendan remained silent after hearing that.
Naomi turned to look at him and asked, “Brendan, don’t you want to use the South Suburb project to have some leverage over me? For example, to indirectly help the Goodwin Corporation secure the project?”
Brendan chuckled. “You’ve already claimed all the good things for yourself.”
She wanted to sleep with him and also expected him to assist the Goodwin Corporation with the project. How could she be so optimistic?
Naomi retorted, “You don’t know how to cherish the opportunity given to you.”
After saying that, she turned around and continued working.
After some time, Brendan put down his book and looked at Naomi. He saw that she had already dozed
off on her desk
Brendan got up from his seat and walked over to Naomi. He carefully lifted her and placed her gently on
the bed.
It probably seemed as if she was being negligent by not returning to the company to assist Dennis, but in reality, she understood better than anyone which aspect to prioritize.
She didn’t want to give up on her dreams or her life.
The next morning, after a brief exchange of words with Naomi, Brendan headed to the company,
Just as he sat down at his desk, Henry pushed open the office door with a bruised face. His left arm was in a cast, but he still couldn’t hide his refined demeanor.
Henry pulled out the chair opposite Brendan and sat down. Then, he asked, “Were those your people last

night?”
After he finished his phone call with Naomi last night, he was intercepted on the way back home and then
ended up in his current state.
Brendan casually lifted his head and replied, “I heard that you wanted Madelyn to call my wife ‘sister–in-
law.
Henry’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected Naomi to tell Brendan about this matter. After all, their strained marital relationship was widely known.
Henry adjusted his shirt collar with his right hand and said, “Do you seriously believe everything Naomi said? She’s just trying to cause trouble.
“Brendan, the Sabella family and the Ludwig family have always had a good relationship. All the years of working together has built trust between the two families. You should have some confidence in that.”
Realizing he had no ground to stand on, Henry had no choice but to swallow his anger and bring up the relationship between their families.
Brendan lifted his gaze and said indifferently, “Henry, when did you become worthy enough to discuss relationships with me?”
Henry stared at him for a while. Then, he stood up and said with a smile, “Alright.”
With that, he turned and left Brendan’s office. The office door was closed gently, but Henry’s expression was extremely cold.
Brendan didn’t take him seriously at all.
Henry adjusted his shirt collar. The veins on his elegant face and neck bulged. Even the veins on the back. of his hand that was encased in the cast bulged.
Brendan smiled coldly. Henry had overestimated himself.
As for what Naomi had said to him last night, it was clear that she wanted to use his influence to deal with Henry again.
He would make sure to fulfill this small wish of hers.
