Chapter 76
Pauline turned to look at Naomi. Seeing Naomi’s cold stare, Pauline couldn’t help but shiver.
She swallowed hard and said, “Naomi, there will always be someone who can put you in your place. Don’t
be too arrogant.”
Naomi replied, “Is that so? But you definitely won’t have the chance to do that in this lifetime.”
Pauline gritted her teeth. “Naomi, I will find evidence for what happened last time and ensure that you’re
held accountable for it.”
Naomi smiled and said, “Why bother? I’ll just tell you directly. I’m the one who found someone to beat you
and Estelle up. Just go ahead and sue me.”
Pauline was furious, and Estelle’s face turned pale. Last time, she was kicked several times in the lower
abdomen, and there was even some bleeding.
Naomi had cautioned Estelle about it. She was just returning the favor for the time when Estelle had
someone assault Bailey.
Livid, Pauline pointed at Naomi and said, “Naomi, don’t think your family’s success will be everlasting. We’ll see how long you can maintain that pride.”
Naomi had always been level–headed in her dealings with others and rarely got into conflicts. She had built connections in various circles over a year of work.
Characters like Madelyn, Estelle, and Pauline were unique cases. Even if no one provoked them, they would take the initiative to provoke someone first. The more passive one appeared, the more audacious they became. When dealing with such individuals, one had to be ruthless.
Naomi’s expression turned increasingly serious as she watched Estelle and Pauline storm away. She couldn’t help but contemplate how Bailey had ended up the way she was today, all thanks to Pauline’s schemes. Naomi had no sympathy for individuals like them.
“Why were you talking so arrogantly? Aren’t you concerned that they might try to undercut you behind your
back?”
Just as Estelle and Pauline left, Henry’s voice came from behind her, spoken in a calm and sophisticated
manner.
Naomi turned around to see Henry, who appeared just as composed as ever.
She smiled faintly and replied, “Why worry about others scheming behind my back? Haven’t both your families already joined forces and openly declared a rivalry?
Henry leaned in slightly, whispering in Naomi’s ear, “Are you scared, Naomi? Why don’t you fulfill your promise from last time?”
Naomi raised an eyebrow and shot back, “Have you already forgotten the lesson Brendan taught you last
time?”

“Brendan?” He straightened up, slowly tucking his hands into his pockets. “Why didn’t you two arrive together today? Did you have another argument?”
His voice was magnetic and pleasant to listen to, but the words coming from his mouth didn’t sound as
appealing.
Naomi replied, “Yes, we did argue again. Why don’t you head to Yellowind Bay? I can fulfill the promise I
made last time.”
Henry gradually lost his smile, his gaze locking onto Naomi’s eyes. “What if I want to do it right now?”
They were currently in a hotel, and anything could be arranged conveniently.
Naomi grabbed his tie and pulled him closer. “Well, you can try to carry me away in public. I’m curious to see how capable you really are.”
They both locked eyes. Naomi was betting that Henry didn’t have the guts to do anything.
His smile widened as he admired Naomi’s talent for setting traps.
“It’s Mr. Ludwig! Mr. Ludwig has just arrived! He looks so incredibly dashing!”
“How can Brendan be so good–looking?”
