Chapter 214
1/2
After placing the lunch on Brendan’s desk, Madelyn pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. She leaned in and whispered, “Brendan, I’ve started working at the company.
“Although my brother manages the shares, I’m the company’s largest shareholder. Now, I’m holding the same number of shares as my brother.”
Madelyn had long wanted to boast to Brendan about this, but she never had the chance.
What she didn’t expect was that Naomi was an only child! In the future, the entire Goodwin Corporation
would be hers. If she wanted to, Dennis could easily transfer all the shares to her right now.
“Congratulations,” Brendan said flatly.
“Brendan, the Sabella family, and the Ludwig family have always been very close. This project was also approved by Grandpa. Although I had a little argument with Naomi, I’m sure it won’t affect our family’s
relationship.
“Besides, if you can forget about Sophia and be together with Naomi, then you will surely divorce Naomi one day and have another relationship. One day, I believe you will see my qualities and recognize the real
me.”
Madelyn always felt that she was the one fated to be with Brendan to the end. So what if Brendan was married? Divorce is common these days. Maybe Brendan and Naomi would get a divorce soon.
Madelyn’s confidence prompted Brendan to say, “Jason, bring two security guards over.”
Before Madelyn could react, Jason came in with the security guards.
Seeing Madelyn here, Jason quickly said, “This way please, Ms. Sabella.”
Madelyn looked at Brendan in confusion. “What is the meaning of this, Brendan?”
Brendan ignored her and gave Jason a signal. With a wave from Jason, the two security guards hoisted Madelyn up. “Excuse us, Ms. Sabella.”
“Brendan! Brendan!” Madelyn’s cries fell on deaf ears. Brendan glanced at the lunch she brought, and
Jason immediately took it away.
Once Madelyn left, Brendan felt a sense of peace. The person he missed wasn’t here. Yet, that annoying woman appeared instead.
However, Brendan couldn’t help but worry about the project Madelyn mentioned.
He had to admit that Henry was more influential than Samuel. In fact, Henry must be crazy good if he could bring Sabella Group back from the brink of bankruptcy. Otherwise, Jackson wouldn’t have agreed to the project.
Just as Brendan cleared Madelyn out, the phone on his desk rang. It was from Jackson.
“Brendan, bring Naomi back for dinner tonight.” It was Jackson’s steady voice from the other end of the
2/2
phone.
“Okay,” Brendan agreed.
So, in the evening, Brendan’s car was already waiting downstairs when Naomi exited the law firm.
The weather was slightly chilly, but Brendan didn’t roll up the car window. He lit a cigarette and watched
Naomi.
When Naomi approached the car and opened the passenger door, she flashed a smile at Brendan. “You’re
not even trying to hide it!”
Brendan used to avoid Naomi like the plague. But lately, he had been interacting with her in public. Naomi was starting to wonder if the Brendan before her was a doppelganger.
Brendan snubbed out the cigarette and started the car. “We’re having dinner with my family.”
Naomi took out the lipstick from her bag and touched up her makeup. “I know. Mom just called.”
After she was done, Brendan said, “Who are you trying to seduce?”
Naomi pursed her lips in the mirror, then turned to Brendan. “You, of course!”
Naomi sounded nonchalant, and Brendan pinched her thigh.
Before long, the two arrived at the villa. Heather immediately came out with a grim look.
