Chapter 4
"Scott! What the hell is going on?" The lecherous Mister Hendricks questioned fiercely.
"Mister Hendricks, don't listen to Naomi’s nonsense." Scott's face was fluctuating between turning pale and blue.
He immediately explained to Mister Hendricks in a flattering manner. "Naomi just turned twenty years old. How could she have possibly married someone else? Don't worry…"
Naomi had long predicted that even if she told them, Scott and the others would not believe her that easily!
She reached into her bag and produced the marriage certificate, smiling mockingly.
"What? Don't you know what a marriage certificate looks like?"
"Uh…" They were completely in a daze. Clarissa's eyes widened in shock. They thought that Naomi was only joking around. They never would have expected her to produce a real marriage certificate! Did Naomi not always have a crush on Gary? How could she have gotten married to another man?
Mister Hendricks was furious. He pointed at Scott and yelled, "How dare you, Scott Green! How dare you lie to me! She is a married woman and yet you still dare to say that she is a pure and chaste lady of the Green family?"
"No, no, no, Mister Hendricks! I wouldn’t dare lie to you! Let me explain…" Scott was scared half to death. His face has lost all its color. He immediately bowed humbly.
Naomi swept Scott a mocking glance and kept her marriage certificate absentmindedly.
"I'm married, but Clarissa is still pure and chaste. She has always been the belle of the school."
The moment Naomi said that, Mister Hendricks immediately sized Clarissa up lecherously as he smiled lustfully.
"Yes, Mister Green. How could I have forgotten your elder daughter? Miss Clarissa is pure and chaste. She would be a great match for me."
"Ah! No!" Clarissa's face instantly turned pale as she retreated backwards.
Scott and Lilian panicked. They never would have thought that things would end up this way!
"Naomi, how could you throw Clarissa under the bus?!" Scott pointed at Naomi angrily as if Naomi was not his daughter but his archnemesis.
Naomi snickered in her heart. They were both his daughters yet she could be thrown under the bus, but not Clarissa.
"Why? Dad, why do you think that Clarissa marrying Mister Hendricks is her being thrown under the bus?" Naomi blinked and asked innocently.
Mister Hendricks was infuriated! He slapped Scott fiercely on the spot!
"Green! So, you feel aggrieved for marrying your daughter to me? If Clarissa doesn't marry me today, you can say goodbye to your company!"
"Mister Hendricks, I…" Scott's face was swollen. He was so frightened he was stammering.
"Mom, I don't want to marry him!" Clarissa was so frightened her legs turned to jelly. She quickly hid behind Lilian, trembling in fear.
Naomi, who was in the eye of the storm a second ago, nonchalantly pulled a chair over and took a seat. She calmly poured herself a cup of tea, looking at the scene unfold. Her beautiful eyes dimmed a little.
If she did not hire someone to get married to her that very day, she wondered what would have happened instead.
"Clarissa, come here!" Mister Hendricks got up and tried to grab Clarissa. His fats jiggled as he got up, like a 500-kilogram boar. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Clarissa screamed in fear. Lilian immediately stepped in between both of them.
"Mister Hendricks! Clarissa had already been selected by Old Mister Hough! She will be going on a blind date with Mister Hough tomorrow! You know how powerful the Houghs are. We don't dare defy them!"
Lilian's tone might sound humble and lowly, but every word she said was threatening.
The Houghs of Gin City were the most powerful family among the Four Great Families of Gin City. Jack Hough was the Prince of Gin City. All he needed to do was stomp his feet and Gin City would crumble at his feet!
"Hmph! So it's because you have curried favors with the Houghs, you're looking down on me!" Sure enough, Mister Hendricks stopped what he was doing and harrumphed fiercely.
"No, no, no. That's not it!" Scott immediately explained fawningly.
"Green. If you dare trick me, I'll never invest in you! We'll see about this!" Mister Hendricks ignored what Scott said. He swore and left the Green Mansion.
The intricate plotting and scheming of the three Greens were all in vain. It had turned out to be all for nothing.
Naomi took it all in. She yawned and got up in a bored manner. She was about to head upstairs.
"Naomi Green! Stop there, you little b*tch!"
Naomi subconsciously turned around and saw Scott approaching her with a darkened expression. He fiercely lifted his hand. A slap was about to land on her face in the next second or so.
