Chapter 61
Christine had a stern expression.
What nonsense was this child spouting again?
However, Brendan shamelessly replied, “I want a full service tonight. I’ll settle it altogether.”
Naomi scoffed dismissively. “Sure! As long as you can handle it.”
Their shamelessness left Heather and Christine staring at each other, feeling incredibly embarrassed. These two kids had made their faces turn beet red with their words, and they were still acting as if nothing had happened.
Christine poked Naomi’s waist again and said, “Naomi, mind your language.”
Naomi frowned and turned to Christine, saying, “Mom, if you keep poking my waist, I won’t be able to have children.”
“Pfft! Nonsense.”
Heather, unsure whether to laugh or cry, quickly intervened, saying, ‘Since both of them have pledged to make things work, let’s head back. They can take care of the rest on their own.”
Christine agreed and walked away with Heather. Once they were gone, Naomi got ready and headed straight to Goodwin Corporation.
In the chairman’s office, Dennis was on the phone when Naomi walked in and sat across from him.
After a moment, Dennis finished his call and looked at her. “You’re not going to work today? Don’t you need to go to the law firm?”
Naomi crossed her legs and asked, “Mom said you’re bothered by the company’s affairs, and it’s related to the Sabella family.”
Dennis replied, “You don’t need to worry about the company’s affairs. Your main focus should be living a good life with Brendan and having a child.”
Naomi responded, “I will live a good life, and we will have a child. These are two separate matters.”
Seeing that Naomi wasn’t going to budge, Dennis sighed and continued, “The South Glistenville project is the company’s most critical undertaking in the latter half of the year. Initially, we had a solid hold on it. However, the Sabella family had somehow gotten hold of our project proposal, slashed the price by nearly 10%, and jumped into the negotiations. Now, the higher–ups are reevaluating the situation.”
“Lowered by 10%?” Naomi asked. “Is the Sabella family not interested in making money anymore?”
Dennis explained, “It’s about pride for them. They want to secure this project to put pressure on Goodwin Corporation. This project is government–funded, and the initial bid wasn’t very high. If we compete with an even lower bid, it would be self–destructive. Maybe that’s what they want to see.”

He sighed again. “If we don’t secure the South Glistenville project, Goodwin Corporation’s position may drop to the second tier, and it will impact us over the next few years.”
After Dennis finished speaking, Naomi said, “Send me a copy of the project proposal and pricing. I’ll take
a look at them.”
Naomi was a law major, and she had a deep understanding of the industry. She had also worked as an inter in the company’s legal department before and had experience handling proposals and bids, so it
wouldn’t be difficult for her.
Dennis asked, ‘Do you have the extra time and energy for this? Can you handle your own work?”
Naomi replied, “I can make time.”
Then, she stood up and said, “I’ll leave now, Dad. Just make sure to have the documents sent to my email.
Dennis walked her to the door and said, “Alright.”
After leaving Goodwin Corporation, Naomi didn’t go to the law firm. Instead, she headed straight to the City Planning Department to investigate the status of the South Glistenville development project.
“Naomi, what a rare sight. What brings you here today?”
“Mr. Turner, are you working today?” Naomi asked with a smile. “I had some free time, so I decided to drop by and express my interest in the city’s future development. I wanted to see where it would be most suitable to buy a house.”
