Chapter 118
Tom glared at Naomi, who chuckled softly.
“Mr. Hunter, the next time you wish to take advantage of someone, I suggest you run some background checks first. You can’t mess with just anyone.”
It had started as a divorce case. But kidnapping and rape were on a whole other level.
Tom finally began to suspect Naomi’s identity after seeing how calm she was. She showed no signs of
fear.
He bit down the pain and asked with a pale face, “Who are you? And who’s backing you?”
Naomi huffed. “Will you believe that I’m Brendan Ludwig’s wife?”
Tom was taken aback and stared at her in disbelief.
“Brendan Ludwig from Ludwig Corporation? Impossible! I’ve never heard of him being married. You can’t possibly be his wife.”
Even if Naomi was trying to deceive him, she should have come up with a more convincing lie.
How could Brendan’s wife work as a divorce lawyer?
Before Tom could complete his sentence, the bedroom door was kicked open.
Naomi turned to look and immediately broke out into a smile. “You’re here, hubby!”
Brendan stood at the door. When he saw Naomi without her coat and with another man in the room, his gaze sharpened.
If looks could kill, anyone he laid eyes on would be dead–even Tom, who was gripping his groin and
rolling in pain.
When Tom saw Brendan and heard the way Naomi called the latter her husband, he felt his heart turn
cold.
He didn’t even continue calling for help.
Brendan glared coldly at Tom before shifting his gaze to Naomi.
She quickly dusted her hands off, “You’re late. I’ve already dealt with him.”
Brendan called out warningly, “Naomi Goodwin.”
Naomi acted as if nothing had happened and walked over. Brendan immediately pressed his hand against the back of her neck.
As he turned to leave, he glared back at Tom, who was trembling in fear.
A moment later, the couple arrived at the yard.

Brendan roughly shoved Naomi into the passenger seat.
She turned to him and explained, “I didn’t mean to leave you hanging today. But I was hindered.”
Of course, Brendan knew Naomi hadn’t meant to ignore his calls and that she had been kidnapped. Why
else would he have rushed over?
With an icy expression, he turned away from her and ordered, “You’re not allowed to work at the law firm
again
He had warned her a few days ago that she could cross many people on the job.
Now, she had done exactly as he had said–she had gotten into trouble.
Naomi smiled. “I’m fine, aren’t I? Besides, you know me. Do you think I’d let myself be taken advantage
of? Don’t worry!”
“Naomi, if you still wish to continue our marriage and have children, you know what to do,” Brendan
threatened.
Hearing this, Naomi stared at him. After a while, she giggled. “Did you fall for me?”
Brendan’s expression darkened. “Stop fooling around.”
Naomi propped her right foot on the seat and supported her face with her right hand. She stared at him
intently.
“I promise I’ll be fine. And I’ll call you if anything happens in the future.”
Brendan was about to say something when she suddenly leaned in and caught his lips with hers.
