Emmanuel’s expression suddenly stiffened, and his good mood

disappeared. “I don’t know this woman. Those who have no appointment. are not allowed to enter the

company in the future.”

Narcissa was shocked by Emmanuel’s sudden gloomy face and explained in a hurry, “She came here

very early. Moreover, she said that she was your good friend and insisted on waiting for you here-”

Then, Emmanuel’s face darkened even more and he said coldly, “Send someone to get her out.”

He turned and walked into the elevator. After reaching his office on the 11th floor and closing the door,

he finally called Naomi.

“Are you crazy? How dare you come to the company to find me?” he said.

Naomi had been waiting for his call for a long time. Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt

slightly frightened when hearing his voice. His voice sounded as if he was trying to suppress his

emotions.

She plucked up the courage and said, “It wasn’t me who crashed into Tabitha and hurt her, Mr. Sinclair.

I came here to explain it to you.”

Emmanuel replied, “I believe you for the time being.” Then, he added in a low voice, “I’ve instructed

someone to transfer the money to your account. It will be in your account at noon. Take the money and

get out of Xosa. Never show up in front of me again, or-”

“I don’t want money, Mr. Sinclair,” she interrupted.

Naomi’s fear of Emmanuel had been instilled deep inside her, so her voice was slightly shaky.

Nevertheless, her wish to become a lady of the Sinclair family was even stronger. Thus, she decided to

take a gamble. “I’ve worked for you before, and even had an abortion because I wanted to help you. I

don’t want to leave Xosa. I just want to marry into the Sinclair family.”

“How dare you disobey me? Do you have a death wish?” Emmanuel changed his elegant facade, and

his cold voice reached Naomi’s ears. through the phone. It felt as if a saw was cutting the nerve,

making her heart beat fast.

Naomi had been traumatized by Emmanuel. Therefore, when she saw. him, it was as if a rat was

seeing a cat, and she would tense up completely.

However, she had spent all her efforts for the past six months trying to marry Malcolm. She initially

thought that as long as she could get rid of Tabitha, she could become the lady of the Sinclair family

and from then on, she would live a treasured life as a rich wife.

Now that Malcolm had begun to suspect her, he would not even answer her calls. Moreover, Emmanuel

refused to help her to become the lady of the Sinclair family. Thus, she could not be patient anymore.

Naomi tried hard to keep calm. “You and I are in the same boat, Mr. Sinclair. If you can help me, I’ll

listen to you. But now you…”

She took a deep breath. Deciding to disregard the consequences, she added, “But you like Tabitha. Mr.

Sinclair, if I can’t marry into the Sinclair family, you can just forget of having her!”

“You must have a death wish!” Emmanuel shouted.

Then, with a very cold voice, Emmanuel added in disgust, “You have no right to bargain with me. If you

want to live a good life, take the money and leave.”

At last, Naomi was terrified. She pleaded, “Mr. Sinclair, I just want to-”

“That’s it,” Emmanuel interrupted her in a cold voice. Then, he added, “If you dare to come to the

company again in the future, you will realize that I’m more terrifying than Giuseppe.”

Hearing Emmanuel hang up i

phone quickly, Naomi was slightly

unwilling to give in. However, she knew that she had offended Emmanuel, so she could only be patient

for a while and try to find better leverage. before negotiating with him.

Meanwhile, Saul walked quickly into the CEO’s office on the 12th floor at Sinclair Group headquarters.

He saw Malcolm standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window.

Outside the thick glass window was sunlight stretching to the sky. The light shone on Malcolm’s

shoulders, making his tall and straight figure look particularly cold and lonely.

Saul said respectfully, “Everything is ready, Mr. Sinclair.”

Malcolm looked back and his eyes were still bloodshot.

“Let’s go,” he said.

He turned around and walked out of the office with a heavy but determined footstep.

Saul investigated overnight and found a connection between Giuseppe and the driver who hit Tabitha.

Moreover, Giuseppe secretly met with Naomi on the second day of his arrival in Xosa.

‘How dare she hire someone to crash into Tabitha? I’ll make sure she has a taste of it as well! It’s a

good timing. I can also find out her true colors, Malcolm mused to himself.

Seeing Malcolm, Narcissa who was in the lobby on the first floor hurriedly greeted him before lowering

her head quickly.

After all, Malcolm’s aura was especially cold that day. It felt like he was harboring an impending storm

of anger, which made people not dare to look directly at him.

Malcolm strode out of the company building and saw Naomi standing by

the roadside waiting for a taxi.

He clenched his fists and quickly loosened them. Then, he made a gesture to Saul who was behind

him before walking quickly toward Naomi.

Malcolm deliberately raised his voice and called her name. “Naomi!”

Naomi was still thinking about what she could do to negotiate with Emmanuel next time. When she

heard the familiar voice all of a sudden, she raised her head in surprise. “Malcolm, why are you-”

Before she could finish her words, a black van suddenly drove straight toward her at a fast speed.

After that, Naomi’s face turned pale with fear. She stepped back in a hurry.

“Be careful!” Malcolm ran toward her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and headed to the roadside.

The two fell to the ground together.

Naomi was so scared that she looked terrified and her voice was trembling. Nevertheless, she was

unharmed, because Malcolm’s hands were under her and protected her.

“Are you okay, Malcolm?” she asked nervously.

“I’m fine… What’s with the car just now?” he asked.

Malcolm’s voice sounded like he was suppressing pain. At last, Naomi finally came to her senses and

looked at the car.

The car had long gone since it turned around and disappeared into the

traffic.

“I don’t know,” Naomi answered. After escaping death, Naomi’s voice was shaky. She added, “I just

stood here waiting for a taxi, and I didn’t offend

anyone…”

Malcolm’s elbow was injured. His face turned pale in pain, so he did not

even have to pretend it. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

However, Naomi’s noisy denial made him feel disgusted. It was as if he could vomit if he were to listen

to one more sentence coming from her, so he simply took out his phone and called Saul. “Something

happened to me at the entrance of the office. Come here immediately…

After a while, Saul rushed out of the building and supported Malcolm nervously. “Are you okay, Mr. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Sinclair? What happened? You look terrible. Do you want to go to the hospital?”

While he continued with the series of questions, Naomi’s face turned pale because she was terrified

and her fingertips trembled more uncontrollably.

“That was really dangerous. If it weren’t for Malcolm, I would have been killed by the car. Who wants

me dead?‘ she mused to herself.

A few names appeared in Naomi’s mind, and she was even more flustered.

At that time, Saul had helped Malcolm into the car and was about to take him to the hospital. Naomi

quickly followed them and got into the car as well.

Malcolm pressed the injured spot and stared at Naomi with a darkened gaze. “The car just now

obviously wanted to kill you. Tell me the truth, who have you offended?” he asked.
