Chapter 94
Brendan didn’t seem to agree, saying, “Henry can only compete with you.”
“Is that so?” Naomi raised her eyebrows and then said, “I have an appointment with a client Can you drop me off at the law firm?”
Brendan immediately drove her to the law firm.
In the evening, when Naomi left her workplace, she saw a blue sports car parked outside the law firm. She
recognized the car as Henry’s. She slowed her pace and even stopped.
Henry rolled down the window inside the car, a gentle smile playing on his lips. “You really know how to balance your ideal life.”
Naomi replied, “Barely.”
Henry said, “Get in, I’ll give you a ride.
Naomi hesitated, “I’m afraid your car will flip over with me inside.”
After all, she had just played a prank on him, and she couldn’t be sure that nothing would happen.
Naomi didn’t get into the car, so Henry got out. He walked leisurely to her and said with a sly smile, “Are you afraid?”
With her hands in the pockets of her black wide–leg pants, Naomi glanced at his car and then at him. Take my word for it and get a better car next time.”
Henry turned to look at his car and then back at Naomi. “Isn’t it better than your little Audi that’s only worth tens of thousands?”
“I don’t care what car you drive. I only ride limited edition ones when it comes to men.”
Naomi was playfully pointing out that the last time he and Brendan had tried to take her car, they had failed to win the limited edition car.
Henry didn’t lose his temper either. He smiled gently and said, “Let’s talk about the Sabella Group’s legal representation.
Naomi burst into laughter. ‘Henry, are you trying to challenge me? Are you still interested in the South Glistenville project?”
With the removal of Sabella Group as the representative, its stock prices were likely to continue plummeting in the coming days. To salvage the company’s stock prices, it would be best for the Sabella Group to participate in the South District project, even if only in name.
So, Henry had come to her. He wanted to use legal representation as a favor.
Thinking about this, Naomi laughed again and said, “Henry, do you think I’m so easy to deal with? Why

should I lend a helping hand to Sabella Group?”
He had joined forces with the Jenkins family many times before. Now that she finally had a chance, she wouldn’t let them off lightly. Why would she give them any opportunities to come back?
Naomi was not one to be easily swayed by sentiment. Henry took a few steps forward, leaning in close to her ear, and said, “Naomi, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.”
Naomi replied, “Don’t try to brainwash me. While I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, I’m not foolish enough to invite a wolf into my house.”
If the Goodwin family were to face difficulties, the first person to kick them while they were down and humiliate Naomi would undoubtedly be Henry. It wasn’t just because of the relationship between their families but also because she was married to Brendan, and he had always wanted to outdo Brendan.
old as he
Henry’s eyes turned cold as he asked, “You won’t yield even a bit?”
Naomi raised her gaze and adjusted Henry’s collar with a smirk. “What if I won’t?”
If she showed leniency towards the Sabella family today, it would be planting a hidden danger for her own family. She wasn’t lacking in foresight, nor did she have an excessive amount of compassion as a woman.
“Naomi, I’m becoming more and more interested in you.”
Naomi chuckled. ‘Is that so? But you’re still far behind compared to Brendan.”
She couldn’t allow Henry’s attention to focus solely on her, she needed to divert some of it towards Brendan. Naomi caused Henry’s expression to change abruptly by claiming that he was inferior to
Brendan.
The atmosphere grew tense, and then suddenly, the honking of car horns sounded nearby, Both of them instinctively turned their heads to look.
