Chapter 3
In the house, Scott was trying to calm tyrannical Mister Hendricks down while cursing Naomi in his heart.
"Mister Hendricks, don't worry. Good things come to those who wait," Clarissa, Naomi's stepsister, immediately soothed.
"Yes, Mister Hendricks. Naomi is your favorite daughter of the Greens. Once everything is settled, don't forget to work with us!" Lilian Clark, Naomi's stepmother, said flatteringly.
This caused the vulgar Mister Hendricks to laugh. "Hahaha! Don't you worry, as long as she is a daughter of the Greens, I will naturally make sure you'll earn some money!"
When Naomi heard her father's voice, she was extremely disappointed. The night before, she heard the conversation between her stepmother and stepsister. They wanted to set her up and marry her to a perverted, lecherous old man. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
However, Naomi never expected that her biological father would be involved in this too! All these years, she thought that her father would still have a little love for her. It looks like she was fooled!
A teardrop fell from the corner of Naomi's eyes. She wiped it away fiercely. Her eyes were filled with despair, but it had gradually turned to coldness!
At that moment, she no longer had any hope left for her family! It was time to defend herself!
Naomi collected her emotions and pushed the door open.
"I'm back!"
Inside, when the three Greens saw how terrible Naomi's makeup was, their faces stiffened unnaturally. Thankfully, they had already sent Naomi's photo to Mister Hendricks beforehand.
Lilian reacted quickly. She pretended to be affectionate and tried to grab Naomi's hand.
"Naomi, where have you been? We have an important guest. Come, sit next to Mister Hendricks. Let him have a good look at you!"
The lazy, fat Mister Hendricks lecherously gazed at Naomi's breasts.
When he heard what Lilian said, he cooperated by giving up half of a single-seat sofa. He smiled slickly at Naomi.
"My, Naomi, you have grown so big! Come let me have a good touch… good look!"
Naomi secretly sneered as she avoided Lilian's dirty hands without any expression on her face.
"No thank you, I'm tired. I'll head up to rest." Naomi was about to head upstairs.
Lilian gave her own daughter, Clarissa, a look. Clarissa immediately took a cup of tea and stopped Naomi in her path.
"Naomi, you just got back. You must be thirsty, why don't you have some tea before you rest?"
Naomi stopped in her tracks and looked at the cup of so-called tea in Clarissa's hand. She accepted the cup without any hesitation.
The other four let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Clarissa sneered in her heart, 'Naomi is still an idiot after all!'
The tea had been spiked. All Naomi needed to do was to take a sip and she would become Mister Hendricks' woman!
At the thought of how terrifying Mister Hendricks' tactics were about to be used on Naomi, Clarissa was so delighted that she almost laughed out loud.
Naomi looked up and swept Clarissa a cold glance. The next second, she unexpectedly placed the cup back into Clarissa's hands.
"You drink it then."
The hot liquid splashed out and burned Clarissa. She wailed out miserably!
Clang!
The cup was smashed to pieces. The atmosphere suddenly turned tense.
"Naomi! What the hell are you doing! Is that the manners of a young lady?!" Scott's face turned blue as he yelled at Naomi angrily.
Naomi looked at her biological father's cold face. She no longer had any feelings for him in her heart.
It had been ten years. No matter how hard she tried, her father had not once shown her any love. She was already numb to his coldness.
"I'm married. I'm no longer a young lady," Naomi said flatly while looking at her family who was trying to set her up.
"What did you say?" The other four were baffled!
