Chapter 170
When night fell, who would remember the nonsense she spoke in the morning? Perhaps she wouldn’t be moved by his actions tonight.
In reality, the men that Brendan had found for Gwendolyn were the same ones she intended for Naomi. He was only giving her a taste of her own medicine.
After running her mouth, Brendan had to attend a meeting. Naomi didn’t go with him.
She watched Brendan go. If that incident hadn’t occurred, they would’ve had a much better relationship once he treated her like that.
But none of them could go back in time.
“Naomi, Brendan has walked away. What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.”
After a while, the three of them arrived at the restaurant. Naomi read Charles’s case files while eating breakfast. Ronald reported excitedly, “The legal department has made a statement reprimanding Gwendolyn’s actions.
“A considerable number of people stood out to expose her for using her body to obtain cases and for taking huge cuts off their payment. She even gave out private discounts.”
Naomi smiled and said, “Indeed, you’ll suspect others for being the same type of person you are.”

The rumors she spread about her last night were all the things that she had done herself.
As Naomi spoke to Ronald, she scrolled through their group chat. Dorcan Law Firm would be having a
hard time in the future.
Gwendolyn was a senior lawyer in their firm: The firm couldn’t have been unaware of her behavior. They had been enabling her.
Beside Naomi, Bailey observed her. Naomi looked troubled. Bailey asked, “Have you guys argued again?”
Naomi came to her senses and put her phone down. She smiled and said that they hadn’t argued.
Indeed, they hadn’t argued, but the tension was strong between them.
Bailey asked, “Brendan still can’t forget about Sophia?”
Ronald was triggered when he heard that. He complained, “Can’t he forget her after so many years? If he was that emotionally invested in Sophia, he shouldn’t have gotten together with Naomi. In fact, Naomi hadn’t caused Sophia’s death.”
Following what he said, he looked at Naomi and said, “Naomi, now it’s all about Chloe, right? She’s doing whatever she wants with the knowledge that she shares certain similarities with Sophia. I’ll get someone to straighten her out immediately.”
Ronald still felt uncomfortable when he recalled how Brendan gifted that expensive necklace to Chloe.
As Naomi listened to what he said, she responded, “Do you want to build charity schools for the rest of
your life?”
When Ronald heard that, his scalp began to tingle. He would never go to such a place again even if
someone beat him to death.
Naomi then said, “You don’t have to do anything, and I won’t allow you to do so anyway.”
Brendan already had someone he couldn’t let go of in his heart. There was no need to try to squeeze into
it as well.
In addition, she knew Brendan too well. If she really straightened Chloe out, he would only become more
protective over her.
The main problem stemmed from Brendan. Even if they got rid of Chloe, countless other women would take her place.
In that case, she wouldn’t be able to do anything else. She would spend her whole life trying to fight off
his mistresses.
In addition, she didn’t like to have catfights. If they couldn’t be together, then that was it. She wasn’t about to find ways to make her life harder.
“Naomi, I’m feeling injustice for you.”
“Well, this isn’t the first time. You’ll get used to it once you see situations like these happen more often.”
The more Naomi displayed her nonchalance, the more Bailey and Ronald felt injustice for her. They wanted to help her get back at him.
However, they had to get back at Brendan himself for it to be effective.
After a while, the three of them finished their breakfast and got ready to leave the restaurant. When they
saw who was walking toward them, they stopped in their
